My o2 xda2 cannot play music from SD card while browsing Internet.
Actually not only playing music but also operating a file within SD card, SD card cannot be recognized as soon as GPRS signal changed (even just show that G icon after turning off flight mode). I have to pull out and push in SD card again to make device work with that SD card.
If I just browsing webpages without touching any file within SD card, that would be fine. After disconnecting GPRS, files in SD card are still there.
I am using 1G KingMax and 128M VK SD card. I have seen this problem on another two XDA2 but there is one doesn't have this issue by using same SD card.
I went to O2 shop on Oxford street that lady said that "phone" did not support playing music while using internet ... then she believed that was a software problem. I hoped their repair centre had professional guys could understand so I wrote down how to reproduce the problem.
After 1 week when I received my XDA2, it came with a letter "Fixed by upgrade firmware". Of course problem is still here, I tried many official and unofficial ROM before I went to o2 repair centre.
Now its warranty is expired and I don't expect O2 can solve it.
Anybody saw same problem and any suggestion?

Hello all, can I ask for suggestions on a couple of problems that I am experiencing with the universal? (On latest T-mob rom)
1. the phone crashes whenever I try to hang up at the end of a call (are T-mobile just cunningly trying to make me use up my minutes?!!)
2. every 10 minutes or so I get a notification that the SD card contains images and "what do I want to do about it"! I never remove the card, have always stored images in the root directory of the SD card, and this has never happened before so I don't know why it's been doing this for the last few days.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
I am no expert - but on my xda2 my SD card can seem to lose connectivity quite often.
I wonder if your card reader, is losing connection to the card (dodgy reader?) then reconnecting - and thinks you have inserted the card.

I had the weirdest thing on my Trinity while in New York. I was on 3G and was surfing the net. Because I installed Memmaid 1.72 on my pda (main memory), i moved my temp file tp my Sandisk Ultra 2 Gigabyte mini sd card. I also installed Pocket Mechanics 2.23 on the main memory and did defragmentation of my mini sd card to optimize the speed. I did this several times. Mind you all is great, surfing was wonderful then all of a sudden while trying to access xda-developers.com from my pda on 3g Cingular, it froze and couldn't advance past 35 kb. I repeated it twice then gave up. I went to my mini sd and all the folders and files vanished. Even the programs I installed on the mini sd. When checking the insalled programs in the settings, they were still on my device but the actual files in the mini sd where gone so the program icons did not work. I am not sure what happened. So I formated the mini sd now and it went back to 1933 mgbs free on the card. Before formating it had 160 mbs in use but nio actual files visible when accessing the card. Does anyone know what happened to my card Is it a rom issue?
Thanks,
Gilbert
hi Gilbert
i am not sure about that, but for my experience I had the same idenctical problem after defragmented the external memory with pocket mechanic, so after loosed my data once again I dont use P.M. anymore and my problems now are solved.
Hope this helps

Yeah, I wouldn't use it either. I've found the best way to format my SD cards is to take them out of the device copy all the files to the pc using a card reader and format the card using Windows XP.
I've had a T-mobile MDA (USA) for about a month now, and I really enjoy it! But, starting a few days ago, I've been having a lot of trouble with the MiniSD flash memory cards. The first card I had was a Corsair 2GB minisd, it worked fine for about a month, then it mysteriously stopped working a few days ago. I decided to RMA the card, but while I waited for my new one to arrive, I would purchase a cheap 1GB minisd so I could at least have some of my data and programs.
The second miniSd (this one branded with the name of the store I got it from: 'Micro Center') lasted for the past two days. I noticed it was dead this morning.
Here are the symptoms in both cases:
-SD card disappears from device.
-Soft-reset / Hard-reset to find that device wants to format SD card b/c it is unreadable.
-Format SD card, only to find that it disappears from the device once more
-MDA no longer responds to SD card.
For Corsair 2GB MiniSD:
-Attempt to format SD card using desktop PC, which leaves the card with half of it's total memory available (1GB). This is also not readable on the MDA device.
I'm very distraught by this whole incident - is it possible that there is something wrong with my MDA? Or is there a possibility that the programs and data I'm storing on the MiniSD are somehow corrupting it?
There's a T-mobile store near my office, I'm thinking about heading over there on my break to ask about this... but I'm afraid I wont get anywhere with them...
If anyone has any thoughts, suggestions, etc... please let me know!
Thanks
I have issues with my SD card. Quite infrequently the SD card disapears - which is pretty annoying. In my case simply ejecting it and reseating it seems to fix the problem. Occaisonally it becomes a little more problematic.
I think it is a problem with the SD socket on the Wizard, as a friend of mine has the same problem.
Hey all,
This morning I have noticed that the "storage card" option isn't showing in file explorer. If I click on the drop down box at top left of the screen, the only option I see is "my device" Yesterday the storage card was visible in the file explorer, but today is isn't there.
I have tried taking the SDHC out of my HD2, and re-inserting, but nothing. Plus I am currently charging the HD2 via my PC, and the "autoPlay" pops up on my screen for the SDHC, while it's inserted in the HD2.
Any ideas why I can't get the SDHC to show up on my device?
Cheers.
take the storage card out of the phone and restart the phone, use file explorer to search and see if you see a file called storage card, if you do, then rename it to storage card2 or something similar, insert your 16gb card back in into the phone again and delete the one you called storage card 2.
I have had a similar problem like this before and the steps above resolved the issue. I think it was caused when i connected to the laptop and picked use phone as a disk drive instead of active sync.
The steps above worked for a 4gig card but I also have a 16Gb card which is not recognised by the phone or laptop anymore and I have seen similar threads with this issue and hope that you card is not faulty.

This probably has to do with choosing 'disc drive' instead of ActiveSync; so when your phone is connected to your PC it will open to see the files on your phone (like it would with an external hard disc or USB stick).

That's didn't work.
I'm quite sure the SD card ain't faulty, as my PC is able to read it, no problem at all. It's just the HD2 ain't reading it today, but was reading if fine yesterday.

Don't be too sure your card is ok. I had the same problem as you, I was able to copy files to the card, seemingly without problems, but when I took a closer look at the copied files on the card, they turned out to be corrupt. Testing the card showed the card was defective. I also had the problem of the card not showing up in the file explorer on my phone.

i had this same issue and managed to resolve it by changing the name back
Argh, I am SO dumb!
It was because I had the HD2 connected via USB on charge, so as the card was read by the PC, the HD2 won't read the card while connected to the PC.
I should have remembered this when I had a windows phone (T-Mobile vario III) 18 months ago, Do'h! Since then I have been on Blackberry for the past 18 months, but am now back on Windows Mobile
Now the only other thing I need to resolve/fix is the fact that Windows Mobile Device Centre / ActiveSync will not work when I am connecting the HD2 to my PC via USB. Very, very annoying!
Alrite peeps,
I hope someone can help me here as I have had no luck anywhere else.
I have had the hd2 for over a month now, it came with a 2gb Sdhc card but I decided to purchase an 8gb sandisk sdhc card.
Ok, I have not encountered any problems so far until today as I scrolled to view some pictures it froze at a pic for 5secs then suddenly to my shock I discovered that it had deleted all my files from my sd card! Now I took it out when I put it back it in, it requested a reformat to make the card readable! So I tried it on my Pc and again it asked to reformat- I had no choice to reformat when I did this I had an error message unable to reformat?! I noticed the capacity had also changed to 30.6mb and when I tried to reformat it in the hd2 it was succesful but still not readable ! Has Anyone else come across this problem and what can I do or is my card messed up?might check if it came with warranty.
Thanks in advance
P.s I'm running the tmobile 1.72 stock rom if that's makes any difference.
Yes, I had the same problem. And it turned out to be a fake card. Where did you buy it?
I had the same problem with the 8Gb card that came in the box from HTC. I have opened a case with HTC, and waiting to see what they say...
incredible ... the same thing happened to me, my guess the card is a fake, yet how does it work before that? I dont know how much data I had in there, it was not a lot, but the moment I tried to put about 15 songs in there, thats when it crashed afterward when I tried to play the songs. I havent had it for 2 weeks when it happened.
Omg.. that is serious thing...
Try to get your pictures back!
I work in a supermarket for home electronics and we've several failures of SD-/Memorycards per week. Even if you've formatted your (micro) SD-card, you can get your data back (esp. pictures) in the most cases. Very important: DO NOT USE THE CARD B4 MAKE A RESCUE TRIAL!
I use a free programm called DIR (Digital Image Recovery) in a special free version (from Foto Erhardt search via heise.de) to rescue the datas. It seems rly lowlevel but fails if it finds heavy memory errors. In such cases I try the free version of recuva, which you could use for other files too. PC Inspector Smart Recovery is the second possibility, but seems to me a bit unstable.
However, in a Windows OS you have to expect in evry second with a bluescreen, data loss, weird errors...
P.S.: All progs should be available in English or as ML.

Well i have to say this my card is also a disgrace as sandisk was bought with one of the store here in cambodia together with my HTC HD2 and after 2 days my whole input in it gone and requested for reformat..i did and tried for how many times then no luck at all. i returned to the shop and explain to them luckily they understood. same brand but till now its ok 1month passed
I have to say from experience that i wouldn't be surprised if all these failed cards were sandisk branded. I've had 3 sandisk sd cards of varying sizes over the years and they have all failed. They were all bought from reputable stores and never got using for anything other than data storage so spent most of their time in the plastic cases. Since then i've stayed away from sandisk kit and never had a failure and saved some cash in the process coz sandisk also like to charge you more.
This maybe something to test.
exactly the same problem here. Even the 30,6 Mb. matches. I bought from e-Bay, some prik in Korea. escalated at Paypal bust still no money back
Moschino02: change the title of the thread, please
not the HD2 ruins the microsd cards... the cards gives problems(fake / defective / no name brands)

i have had problems with a sd card. especially when files are damaged
look here. this is a formatter specially for sd cards.
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/SDFormatterEN2905.zip
run this with your card in a card reader after a recovery described above.
see if it helps to get the card working

I opened a case at eBay (within 45 days) and they returned my money in a day (great service)! My seller was from Hong Kong and pretended to be a friendly, reasonable guy, but by the time he knew I had returned the card there was no communication anymore whatsoever. As soon as I told the seller about the problem he had the item removed from eBay so I couldn't give negative feedback. eBay mailed me a warning about that too, but by that time I had already paid, received and returned the item.
Ok maybe it was not the hd2 but a faulty card I don't know? Please ignore the title(Im not sure how to amend it) Thanks for the zip file il give that a go..
I see that others have experienced this fault.I was always aware of fake cards prior to making the purchase off eBay, i thought it was geniune as it stated that it had a 5year warranty however the uk business shop/seller who specialises in these products has not replied to me since the fault in regards with the warranty. So I'm having doubts now
Anyways, just be careful and Sync regularly - luckily I did not have much on there exact a few apps and a few pics.
Now I am not so sure if my 8gb micro sd hc card is a fake after all, a friend has a similar card and they look exactly alike. I got my card bundled with the phone, and it did work for quite a while until I copied some music into it, and the card failed after I tried to play the songs. Now my notebook doesnt recognize the micro sd card (sd card adaptor) therefore cant format it since no disk detected, and my hd2 formatted it to a 30mb capacity yet i cant see it in file explorer.

same problem for me. have been using the bundled 8gb card for a mth when suddenly it died 5days ago. I panicked and tried reading it on my laptop. nothing detected. I thought all my files are gone for good. I pulled out the card and reinserted over 10times. all of a sudden, autoplay started and the card and its files were detected! immediately copied and backed up all my files onto my laptop.
true enough to my prediction, this morning I woke up and the card died once more... this time its dead for real. changed to a Toshiba 4gb card this time..
could it be its the phone causing cards to corrupt? regardless of brand? so many ppl have this problem.
Same for me here,
I think it's related to cht scheduler or to cht. I've read something @ pocketpc.ch
so now my 16 gig scandisc sd-card only has 30.6mb
I'm gonna send it back...
I wonder how many of you guys do not use the safely remove hardware or the eject option when you remove your phone from your PC....
I have a multitude of microSD cards and ALL of them still work and most of them are sandisk cards....
failure to use the safely remove hardware or eject option will always end in the card getting corrupted. It may not happen the first time but it will eventually happen and when it does get corrupted the HD2 will not show the card as being present until it is formatted.

Hey Guys!!
I work at a retails shop where we sell heaps of memory cards and cameras a day .. So im pretty experienced with this issue. The microSD card you get with HTC HD2 is a Class (4) card, which transfers about 5mb/s. which means that it has higher transfer rate compared to the normal everyday microSD cards you buy from your retail shops/ebay which are Class (2) which transfers about 2mb/s.
This is the reason that your HD2 kills all those Class (2) cards.. because when the phone doesn't get the enough transfer rate to read.. after couple of days they all stuff up.
Recommendations:
Try getting the new PANASONIC (JAPANESE MADE) microSD card which has a transfer rate for about 20mb/s these cards will work like butter..

so if this guy is right the HD2 only wants class 4 cards...
I for myself bought a class 2, that died (it was a fault, I did want at least a class 4 one)
so good luck altogether!
