Look in the manual.
Have you tried formatting it in your PC? Not all cards are compatible with your magician
Check it with a different card prolly with a lower memory like 256/512.

1GB cards should be OK...I've got one in mine and it works without a problem. Mines branded as a Viking if that helps.

oltp was right with his answer
You need to format an SD card in your GPX MW6815DT player

I have a problem with WMP...I am using a PQI 2g miniSD memory card to store my MP3's on...and most of the songs I try to play are skipping.
Im not using a bluetooth headset...just the speakers built into the Wiz.
Is there an issue with the PQI cards? Should I install another media player to play my songs?
I cant figure out why its skipping.
I am using the stock rom from Cingular...for now.
Any suggestions on what is going on...Id like to get this thing to work, so I dont have to carry my Nano.
I had the same problem with a Transcend 80 2gb card. I bought a corsair 2gb for 6$ more from newegg ($20 vs. $26) and have had no problems. In my experience trying to save a few bucks on these high density cards does not really work.
I have used SanDisk with no trouble and now this Corsair. The transcend is now being used in my digital camera instead and seems to have no problems in that device.
Good Luck
Well tonight I swapped my PQI 2g card with my wife's Transcend 2g card....her card(with her MP3's) is working perfectly.
Couple of things I forgot to mention....which I didnt think mattered.
Her songs were downloaded to her card using Media player from her laptop.
I think she created a Library and did the whole transfer that way.
Whereas I "drag and drop'd" all of my songs onto the card and then inserted into the 8125.
I noticed that when I checked the properties of each song off her card, audio codec is listed with Windows Media Audio 9 or 9.1
On my card, there is NO such listing.
Am I assuming correctly that I have use Media Player on my computer to transfer songs to the MiniSD card...and NOT drag and drop.
Or is it that the PQI card is crappy?
In the morning I will try the method she used to download songs and see if that works.

shouldn't make any differnence - WMP is not converting the files or something like that, it also just copies them. So your card seems to be crappy - I also had that problem... The only thing you can try is format the card with different settings/filesystem with SKTools (FAT16 vs FAT32, bigger custer size, no backup FAT table etc.) - but there is no "best" setting - you have to find out on your own...
Hi All,
I have had numerous problems with my 2GB card such as files and directories disappearing; files showing up on Windows when I plug my SD card in, but not on the PPC.
Anyone know the cause of these issues? Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? I don't think it's the new high speed format card either. It's a corsair brand.
Thanks

I have the same problem. its a known issue in the trinity. no solution yet.
waiting for a rom to fix that..
I have no problems with files and directories disappearing and I'm using sandisk 2GB mini sd. It seems like sandisk 2gb doesnt have any problems in TomTom either.
Also using a 2GB Sandisk and no problems whatsoever with any rom version.
No problem with my Sandisk 2G MiniSD too!
Sometimes my phone do not detect the card when it was inserted, but no problem when I insert again. It won't "mssing" or lost data as long as it was regonized.
I think it may related to the brand.
my 2gb minisd corsair card became unreadable yesterday and my phone asked to format it. ( after the phone format i only have 1Gb free space. does anyone knows how to format this card with my phone as a 2gb card, because it seems that my phone format it as a 1gb card?
My 2GB sandisk is working OK too. I think make sure the mini sd card is not a high speed one. Mine is x66

Try reformatting with your desktop PC using a card reader.

Which Brand do you have?
I have a Kingston 2GB card, and it works great, except Media Player seems to screw things up. There are about 1GB of songs on it, and when Media Player creates the library, it creates a hidden folder on the card called MSMETADATA. Inside the folder it creates some kind of MediaLibrary file, which appears to get corrupted. When it does, trying to play anything from the storage card's library results in a media player error. But deleting that folder and running an Update Library works fine. Selecting a song to play directly also works.
The first time this happened, I couldn't figure out what was going on, and a hard reset didn't fix it. Sticking the card into my PC's media card reader showed me the hidden folder, since I didn't have "Show All Files" turned on on the device. It's happened a couple of times since then. But now that I know what's going on, it's a quick fix. I think removing the card might be what messes it up.

Well, my Sandisk Ultra 2GB was fine until sometime in last couple of weeks.
Now it does not appear at all desipte multiple reinsertions. Need to but another adaptor before I can test in reader. But nothing changed on Trinity - now new apps installed, card never removed from slot - just vanished (not unrecognised - no prompts to format it - it just isn't there).
Any thoughts?
running Dopod ROM on HTC BTW

Hmmm, very strange, I'm sure you tried soft reset. If it works in card reader, I guess you can copy everyting off of it and reformat it, maybe that will help. All this card disappearing stuff with the Trinity is very strange, it never happended with my 4gb SD in my Prophet in over a year. Mind you, I haven't had any problems with my current 4gb mini SD either but it hasn't been that long yet.
Good luck.

OEM card from MobyMemory.com
standard sandisk 2gb seem very reliable, maybe its the high speed ones that cause problems, i ordered 2gb ultra2 & had major problems, ie not detecting & when did it wanted to format then giving me only 968mb,
my 2gb (standard) sandisk works flawlessly
I have previously had problems with the MD drive which I've learned to live with. However now I have SD problems.
I installed WMStorage to access my SD and MD from my PC. When I deactivated it, my SD card was invisible on my Ameo. i did a soft-reset and now the 2GB SD card is only recognised as 1GB. I have tried reformatting in the Ameo and on the PC. Still it stays at 1GB.
My card is a Corsair 2GB card.
Ideas?????
I also had a corrupt mini sd card... I have a sandisk 2gb mini sd and I have copied TomTom from the original (supplied) minisd onto the 2gb card and have added a few programs and films. I was happily using TomTom in the car when it stopped working...I removed the card and reinserted (which I had done on a previous occasion and it restarted TomTom ok) This time no luck...When I got home I tried to get all my information off the card using the card reader on my laptop.... It showed the correct amount of data on the card but showed only a few TomTom files nothing else....I couldn't copy anything from the card onto the pc.... I tried to format the card in the laptop but it wouldn't format..... I put the card back into the Ameo and did a low level format using pocket mechanic ok..... Then I recopied (using the laptop) all the TomTom files again and a few programs but not any films.... So far all is good...I suspect that I had left too little space on the card, which is why it locked up!! I may be wrong here...all input welcomed

I tried low level formatting - it didn't work. Decided in the end to take the card back to the shop (as fortuntaley i didn;t byuy this one from ebay). will see if it happens again. Unlikely to be a dodgy chip, though???
I purchased a Samsung GT-I5801 Android phone and a 32GB micro sdhc card. My goal was to use it as a smart phone and an mp3 player; essentially as an iphone at a fraction of the price. The phone works great and the android apps are fun, but the mp3 player functionality has eluded me. I have about 20GB of music and I can’t get it onto the card and/or into the phone.
I have tried transferring the data directly onto the card in two different laptops (both running windows xp sp3-hotfixed to recognize high capacity sdhc cards). Both computers can see the cards and recognize them as 32GB cards. I can transfer files back and forth from the card. I have used windows explorer to transfer the files as well as other programs: Windows Media Player, Media Monkey, FreeFileSync, Doubletwist, Winamp, and Samsung Keis.
I have also tried transferring the music to the phone with the card installed in the phone. I have tried this via all the above programs, including wirelessly transferring via Winamp. The process either stops and/or fails unexpectedly (twice producing the blue screen of death) or appears to complete successfully but turns out to only produce 2GB of music on the card while showing 20GB of space used on the card. The entire file structure for the music files is there but most of the files are empty even though the transfer process shows that they should be there. Then, when I remove and install the card again, the 18GB of space is freed up again to show that only 2GB (or less) of music is there. It is not always the same 2GB of music either. It seems random as to what files are transferred.
I have done a factory reset on the phone twice to make sure that it’s not the corrupted music database on the phone that is preventing all the music being recognized. I have also reformatted the card 3 times during this process. I have tried the following usb connections settings options in the phone: Keis, media player, and mass storage. I have also tried with usb debugging turned on and turned off.
I have a couple of questions:
1- Has anyone else had similar problems and how did you solve it?
2- Is there a maximum file limit per directory, or for music in general?
I’m at the end of my rope here, and am starting to wonder if the money I’ve saved by not buying an Iphone is worth the time and aggravation of this process. I have never posted a question on a tech forum before, but I’m desperate after spending a couple of weeks trying to solve this on my own.
you laptops sd reader is not sdhc Compatibility
try format card in you phone

is the card working on your friends phone? you must have atleast one guy who has a mobile which supports 32 gb card transfer all the music you want and see if all songs are detected in that mobile or not, if not your memory card is defective otherwise there is problem in your mobile.
Thank you for your reply. According to the specs on my netbook (Samsung NP-NC10) the reader is sdhc compatible. I have ordered an usb sdhc card reader to test the theory. I'll let you know how that works. I have formatted the card at least 3 times in my phone and have tried to transfer files with the card installed in my phone via the supplied usb connection cable. I have the same results.
Am I right in assuming that if my phone and sdhc card are working properly then I should have no problems transferring a large amount of music?
Has anyone else transfered 20GB of music to their Android and had success using it as an mp3 player?
have you test your 32gb sd card is real 32gb?
try hdtune or other tools like in windows ,or try full format in windows ?
if windows is hang ,over 2gb is can't read and write ...
i think you sd is fake card ..
Thank you for your suggestion to use hdtune. I tested my card with hdtune pro and it is a 32gb card that is healthy and has no errors.
I guess this means that I have a bad mobile? I wonder about transfering all my files again and then trying a factory reset on the phone.
I have not considered rooting the phone as I am new to this, but would that be a potential solution for this problem?
is in hdtune error scan ,full scan 32gb is not error?
sd card and card reader in phone is very Weak..
Update on progress
I have now checked the card using hdtune and reformatted it twice. hdtune detected no errors at any time.
I also purchased a usb sdhc card reader specifically. Just in case my built in readers were malfunctioning, but that has not solved the problem either.
I can transfer the files to the card. I can even read and access the files on the card on my computer. However, when I put the card into the phone, but files are not there, and the file folders are empty. Then, when I put the card back into my computer the files are gone.
I found this link on another forum with the same problem. While it is comforting to know that I am not the only one with this problem, I am still looking for a solution. Has anyone found one?
Found the problem!
I downloaded the H2test and used it to test my card. hdtune and windows did not discover the problems with the card, but this program did.
Apparently I purchased a 2gb card that was labeled as a 32gb card. The packaging and printing on the card all look like a legitimate Kingston class 4 32 gb sd card, but the actual card only has 2 gb capacity.
Apparently, the card tricked my windows computers by writing an index for all of the files I was transferring but only actually transferring up to 2 gb of data. That is why I could read some of the files on my phone, but not others.
If you are having similar problems, I would highly recommend this program!

Thanks to all who tried to help me, your suggestions were very helpful!
so the card is fake 32gb but only have 2gb.why hdtune error full scan can not find it?
Using an HD mini, latest ROM 1.36.401.1 fitted with a 32GB memory card.
Phone syncs fine and I can copy files to the storage card using activesync but as this is very slow with larger files I've tried to use the disk drive mode.
Problem is that the file starts to copy and after a few minutes of transfer I get the error message "The Parameter is incorrect" After this I have to disconnect the phone and reconnect to be able to try again.
It was one of the reasons I bought the phone and added the memory was to be able to load on some video to watch. I use it for music files and sysnc these using media monkey with no problems at all.
Any idea's....?
I checked the HTC site but found nothing, I've also formatted the card in the phone in case it didn't like it being formatted in the PC.
I use a Sandisk 8GB Class 2 SDHC card, never experienced that kind of problem. But I have to say I never tried any files larger than around 1 GB.
What brand do you have? And how big are the files?
The card is unbranded and the video files are 80 - 170MB. I have some other cards so I can try one of them to see if this fixes the issue.
might be the usb data cable ,have you tryed another microusb cable ? or try to load files to microsd using sd-(usb)adapter and see if you still have this error
I tried another cable but the same thing. I've also tried a 1GB Sandisk card as well and that runs with no problems. This unbranded card claims SDHC but maybe it's not high enough quality for the HTC. Wouldn't be the first time a product rejects a certain media.
I've actually just ordered a new Sandisk 16GB class 4 card to try that one out. Should have it early next week and will report back what happens.
Ok, I think if you run a checkdisk on the 32GB card it will report errors. It could be a cheap clone from China, which are known to have quality issues.

Ordered from eBay but a supplier that sells them in original packaging plus gives a guarantee that they are originals.
So received a new 16GB card today, fitted to the phone, copied over some files, so far so good. But then TCPMP would not read the video files saying the MP3 codec is invalid and the other thing I notice is that the storage card is now called Card2. In explorer from the PC it shows two storage cards as:-
Storage card
Storage card2
I seem to be going backwards, powered the phone off/on numerous times, also with the card removed, reformated the card but can't stop it from seeing the card as card2.
Getting so pi$$ed off with this now.
OK a quick update, I fitted the original 1GB card, the phone recognised this as the first storage card and the card2 reference disappeared. I fitted the new 16GB one and all back to normal no card2 issue.
What I don't understand is how it happened and what changed it back. As I intend to load TomTom onto the card the last thing I want is this happening again in the middle of driving.
Never heard of this problem before. Can't think of a cause, maybe something with partitions on your SD card?
