the other day i put my sd card in a friends Tungsten Palm and now its back in my exec i cant delete or save anything on the card. how do i format the sd card back to my exec? I can view and play the stuff from the sd card on my exec, i just cant save or delete anything, please help.
Did you or your friend by any chance happen to flick the read/write lock on the side of the card, perhaps?

Find and delete the folder MSMETADATA and its contents then update the wm library - this is a known problem.

reclaiming lost space on card
just some extra info regarding this issue
before I knew about the delete msmedata file solution I found that when I tried to update the library it would seem to hang the phone while adding files. While this was happening I looked at the available memory on the card and saw it quickly running down to 0mb. It was as if the phone was trying to copy duplicates of all my audio files. I could not find these files even though they were obviously taking up the space on the card, and so could not delete them. The only way I could reclaim this space was to back up the files that I did want, formatted the card and finally copied the wanted files back onto the card. Space reclaimed.
Maybe there's a simpler work around for this that I am unaware of but if not, I hope this helps someone.
Until aku 3 or higer comes out you have to live with this crappy work around. This is one of the reasons the Hermes is a toy rather than a tool

Not that I want to perpetuate the inane toy versus tool debate, but I have a claw hammer thats a very good hammer but crap at nail removal for which I have a more specialised tool - I do use it for taking out nails though when I don't have the special tool to hand. Now would you say my hammer is a toy not a tool because some aspects of what it does are not as good as others - in fact that hammer won't remove a nail at all if its flush to the wood. Just a thought.

too late!
Surely the toy/tool thing is purely subjective? When I'm playing poker on my tytn, it's a toy. When I'm finishing off a spreadsheet for work or doing my accounts, it's a tool.
Well, that title being said, I have a weird Mini SD card problem!
As you can see in the attachment, something seriously spooked my 2GB SD card into submission. I can't delete this "program files" folder, and I can't even access it when the card is in my 8125.
Great just when I finally set up all my programs lol.
I don't know what caused this problem, I think maybe installing egress and having the today plugin running rapidly.
Anyway I'm just going to salvage what I can from the card and format it, but incase someone else ever has this problem, does anyone have a solution?
The only thing you can do is reformat it. That happens to a lot of people.

Thanks for the answer. I think! :Argh: hehe
If your card can be read in the PC without any problems then it could be you share the same problem as me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321273
you may want to try some settings as mentioned or referred to in that thread (or some different ROMs) ...
Have not got any answers yet. Will try to cook my own ROM using one of the ROM thats works with the SD card as a base once I have time..
Not sure if this is the right place, but I saw "Hacking" and thought "This must be it."
Anyway, I just fixed a Herald (TMobile Wing) with a broken LCD - now that I can see it again, it's saying that there's a password on it. The owner (my wife's friend) doesn't remember it, and has pictures on the phone of her kid that she would REALLY like to avoid losing if possible.
Is there any way to recover the password on these things? Obviously, a hard reset is not going to be good, since that'll destroy everything. I just need to find a way to get her back in so she can get her pics and address book off of the phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...if this is the wrong forum, please let me know and I'll move my post.
Thanks!

As far as I can remember, a password won't lock down active sync connections so you could use active sync, copy all the files across and then hard reset.
Or possibly, set up a little application that copies all the files from My Documents to a storage card where they can be read by something else.

Unfortunately, ActiveSync is warning me "Your device is currently locked. To connect to or synchronize with this PC, please unlock your device."
I cant get into the phone at all....I think all I might be able to do is make an 'emergency call'.....
Thanks for the reply, though...I appreciate it!

Does the device have a storage card?

No - I have one I can use, though - it's just never been IN the phone before....
My idea is to use a program to copy all the files from the My Documents folder accross to a storage card. This should be possible because the program that watches for the storage card to be inserted can start a process that can then copy the files. I have seen a program that does the copying somewhere but I can't remember where...

I'll have a look for something along those lines - I'll post the answer here if I find it... (if anyone else knows of it, PLEASE post away!! lol)

Hi all,
i have p3400i on wm 6.1. Yesterday i installed some themes and Asphalt 3d. Since then my fone has gone extremely slow. it takes a couple of seconds to open one message. Not sure what caused that. i hardly have any programs loaded on it. Please advise what can i do.
Also one thing im noticing is that when i take out the memory card it works fine. Can it be a virus or my memory card is slow???

where did u install the themes and the software?
if you have installed it in phone memory ...try to hard reset and the next time install the softwares on ur mem card...
most of my sws are in memory card and i alwaz install the sws in the memory card.
Programs installed on memory card make the device slower, especially if the card is high capacity (> = 2GB).
Also check out how much free memory you have on the device! Some of M2D themes are very heavy. Seen one around 10 MB size in the Dev/ Hack section . So if you loaded some of those themes .

hard reset the phone, should take care of it...
Hi, please also remove any temp files and unnecessary registry. I understand the free registry cleaner and clear temperory file utility should help you. These utilities are available free on the net.
Also try to format SD Card (Fat 16).
Cheers!

But if the card is bigger than 2 GB, you cant format it to FAT16
Ya, in that case formating can be done as FAT32.
Ye >>>>>>
The same probs with me dont get upset........... backup all yr data and then hard reset yr phone......feel free to do it............. me too do this...........
wwait a bit.
Dear playboy..
That Asphalt is a nasty app.. that redirects itself to Root, and eats up nice 4+ MB straight.. and more if you run it..
well thats more than enough to pull your Gene down.. especially if your fone is already loaded with apps.
Uninstall it, and delete residual files..
Use Oxios application to free ram / option to soft reset / Google it..
I think that should bring back 90% speed..

funny think shuold come up, happend to me this afternoon.
for some reason a folder was magicly created called "storage card" which automaticaly called the sd card "storeage card 2" this stopped all apps from the sd card from working.
either delete or rename the "storage card" folder, soft reset the phone this will change the sd card back to "storage card" and hey presto
Yes I will I'm just abit temperamental atm mate. Sorry man, I will stop and use search I usually do on other forums just I seem to want things asap atm.
put your card in a card reader and see if pc can readit.
if yes then try it in your phone and connect as card reader.
if no you can try to recover the card using card recoverysoftware. or just reformat the card in the phone. see if this helps
