OK, all was fine in MDA PRO land, but today all the apps I had installed to my SD card disappeared ! The Program files folder is empty (the SD Card one only) and I am at a loss to understand ! The rest of my SD card appears fine (loads of mp3/wma files, TomTom maps, photos etc.) - just the installed programs !
Help !

recently, my kjam is showing 2 storage card folders, i don't know why but one day i just had it. what would be the cause of this?
my normal mini sd card is shown as storage card 2, and the storage card folder is showing installed app on it (phone skins) plus the temporary internet files folder.
any idea?
I don't know what causes it, but it happened to me once. I took out the card and soft reset it and it was back to normal.
i just did that but no changes happened, i still have the 2 folders (storage card & storage card2)
i there any other solution?
I had same problem when install to autorun application with an internal reference to Storage Card. I suppose autorun appications run before Storage Card device availabity.

Same thing here!
I've got the same problem and I posted under a new thread as I believe this is related to the upgrade of my TMobile UK ROM - did not have the problem before.
this happened to me too , and the folder contained a "my documents" folder
Wierd !
It's not at all weird - just read my article. I explain there how this can happen and how the mess can the cleaned up.
I realised it is because you set your StorageCard as the default message - or temporary internet files store. The problems I usually have when I use ActiveSync and I turn off (or it turns off itself) the PDA.
My method is very simple and works:
Just delete the empty StorageCard folder and after a soft reset everything will be fine.
If you cannot delete, for example because TemporaryInternetFiles are there and index.dat is locked, you have to make a softreset first, and after it you can delete the fault SDCard folder and after another softreset everything will ok.
Hi,
After my upgrade to the new HTC PT ROM I have instaled the new version of TomTom Home. So far so Good...
why can't the program detect my SD 2G card in the Device?
Only internal memory has been detected.
Thanks

Have you tried formatting it. I use a 2gb card and tomtom recognized it with no problem.
Have you tried using the Sd adapted with your card and connecting it to your PC directly?
I have copied a orginal TomTom card to my SD 2G Card with my PC card reader, and, when i conect through activesinc my p3600 (to PC) and run my tomtom Home , The aplication just see the internal memory at Uper right corner.
Formatting it is not a option because i have programs instaled in it.
Thanks again.

1. Copy content of SD card to PC
2. Format SD card with the PANASONIC formatting tool (see other thread)
3. Copy content from PC to SD card
This should solve your problems.
OK
I will test it and report the result.
Thanks
WP
I have exactly the same problem. Please let me know whether the solution of formatting help you.
Works Great for me on HTC p3600 !!!
and Kingston SD 2G
The tomtom Home Now sees the SD Card
Very Thanks man.
...but i still have some problems doing a Full backup with tomtom home software. Always popup an error when reading some files instaled in SD card by other programs
Sory my English is a litle bit rusty.
WP
I did have the same issues when trying to make a backup from TomTom home (I didn't have issues with previous versions of TomTom home). I contacted their support department and this was their response (I did have to translate it):
At this moment it's not possible to create a back-up from a PPC with TomTom Home version 1.5. This will be adapted but at the moment we advice you to make a manual backup.
Then they explained how to make a manual backup which basically required a SD card reader. They didn't specify a date on which it would be fixed.

I think only formating the fat32 to fat will solve your problem.
but first copy all the files inside the 2gb sd to computer and unhide the file which is hidden. all files must be copied. Thats all.
Hallo everybody.. I have the Jasjar , and suddenly I've got two storage card folder , and i don't know how ..It happened once after I had installed the BlackBerry connect but I uninstalled the software and formatted the device,again yesterday,I was able to use my device normally,but suddenly I openned the programs menu and shocked that all programs installed in the storage card folder are not defined ... any ideas ?
I've had this happen on a couple of wm6 roms.
Delete the storage card folder which doesn't have all your program files etc. Take your card out and put it back in and it should be ok, might have to restart too
Me too!

That happened to me also after trying out the SimpleOS launcher application.
I believe I had the USB HDD activated at the time of installation (i.e. Storage Card invisible to system) I think Simple OS created a virtual storage card. When I deactivated USB HDD my SD card was then Storage Card 2. I got in a panic for a while but I've done something similar to what coolbeans252 said and had my card working again.
Everytime I install new program to HD2 it asks me if I want to install into main memory or SD card. My PC windows experience says that it is advisable to install programs to main drive (C: usually). Does the same logic apply to WM devices? Or is it safe to install apps into SD card (which would leave more space on actual device)
It's really up to you where you install them. The only things to bear in mind are that the internal storage cannot be expanded, and you can remove the storage card.
The way I do this is to install anything that I think I'll really want to always have at hand on the device (essential apps like coreplayer, nitrogen etc..) That way, if I remove the storage card then my device still has my most favoured apps on it. Anything that I'm not too fussed about (games in my case) goes on the storage card.
It's your call completely, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with installing things on the storage card. In fact, I'd recommend doing it when you're installing non-essential apps so that you save internal storage for things that you don't have a choice with (MarketPlace apps, for example, or tweaks and mods).
Hope this helps mate.
ok, thanks for detailed reply. I will try to install apps to SD card, if that option becomes available during installation process. I am not switching SD cards, so it should be fine then.
one more question that is related to the first one... If I install application on SD card, then if I take the memory card out, put new ROM into phone and insert SD card back. Will applications run as before installing new ROM? Are all program files saved to SD card when installing or does it do some registry entries or save some files onto maine phone memory???
In my old JasJam I found that programs loaded faster when stored on the device storage as opposed to the SD card.
Is this the same on the HD2?
If you upgrade ROM then you will need to do a backup first then restore afterwards otherwise you will lose everything including the links to the programs on the SD Card (although the programs will still be there).
I use SPB backup to do this. It works well. I used it yesterday after I upgraded my O2 V1.43 ROM to HTC 1.66. The restore worked great
All Micro D cards aren't the same I paid a bit more and got a Class 6(fastest) 16GB card. Class 2 is the slowest.
I hope this helps?
Things to remember
SD card usage eats battery.
SD card usage is slower than phone mem.
SD card usage can cause conflicts and freezes.
SD card usage creates app associations that really should not be carried over to new ROM flashes.
Installation to phone mem gives smoother and more stable operation of phone.
You have plenty of on phone storage space so why not use it?
Links to apps gone
i have loads of applications on my SD card for my HD2 but when i reset it i lost all the links to them so now the only way to get to them is to go to the file explorer but i dont have any icons anywhere else on my phone, any suggestions?
Either reinstall the apps, or simply browse to the executables, copy, and paste as shortcut in \windows\start menu.
Okay... I suppose I made a mess. I had tried to access the SD card of my brand new Desire HD via HTC Sync and it never worked. Then I had the brillant idea of put the card in the SD card reader of my PC.
The SD card reader spent a few time trying to read the thing, then Windows popped up a message saying "The card is unreadable, do you want to format it" and said happily yes, without realizing that there were a number of Android applications there...
I can still my Desire HD, it works perfectly fine however I have seen that there are a few HTC applications which are missing in the application list.
I tried to recover the files via Recuva, without success.
Any idea? Is there an image of the SD card floating somewhere over internet that I could use to restore it?
Thanks in advance for any hint (and btw if you want to toss in that I am an idiot please go ahead, I deserve it after... )

Unless you have some other valuable data on the SD card (like pictures, music, docs, etc.), you could try to reflash your phone with stock ROM, and it will most probably install all the apps again. And then you just grab non - HTC apps off the Market and you're ready to go.
Thanks - but the phone is working perfectly, I do not need to reflash it. It is 100% fine except for the missing HTC apps.
What I have lost are the HTC applications which were located on the SD card (now formatted) - I believe all I need is to find an archive of the contents of the SD card and copy it in the (now empty) SD card.

You will hardly find that anywhere. I would still recommend reflashing the phone, no matter if it works well. Just backup everything you need and reflash it, that's the safest way to restore HTC apps as far as I know.

Hi, am not 100% sure, but the only HTC related stuffs in my memory card was some PDF files (manuals), and the HTC Sync installation file. I have formatted my card as well ( as had partitioned my card), and downloaded the SYNC soft from HTC website. I doubt you will ever need those manuals ...
I think what petarpetrovic is saying above is that you may have installed some apps, but they were installed on ur sd card. so a reflash is recommended as there may be a chance that some important apps may have been installed in the sd card.
