SD card autostarts TOMTOM when inserted.

I have installed TomTom 5 on my SD card, all working well.
I have one irritating problem however, whenever I remove and then reinstall my SD card, it automatically launches tomtom.
I've tried to stop the auto starting with the usual registry entries for START, etc, however nothing seems to work.
Does anyone know how to stop the SD card autolaunching this app?

The problem is caused by the folder 2577 on your Storage Card. IF you delete the Tomtom cabs from this folder it will stop happening. Alternatively you could rename the 2577 folder in case you need to install the software agin away from your computer.

Is there an app in the root of the SD card called start.exe? Also, when you insert an SD card it will automatically run stuff which is present in the "2577" directory if it exists. This is responsible for installing the app initially. Try renaming 2577 to something else and see if it still happens. If it does, try renaming the start app.

That's spooky findus... maybe we should get a room?! [j/k] :lol:

Brilliant, such speedy response, and a positive result. Thanks guys, this works! Has been bugging me for months. Cheers

MiniSD data disappeared, HELP!

Hey everyone,
for some reason, my MiniSD card looks empty all of the sudden.
didn't do anything special.
i just see a Outlook folder, and it had 1.8GB of music and programs.
when i click memory i see 1.8GB of 2GB used.
but i just dont see all my data.
what should i do to repair it?

If you have a card reader remove card from phone and put it in there, computer should see everything, then when you put it back in the phone it ought to be good.
otherwise just remove it reset the phone and then put it back in again, that might just about do it.

Well, that didnt work.
i ran StorageTools on it, but then it just deleted the rest of the missing files and gave me the whole miniSD as empty.
so i did a hard reset and reinstalled all my software
and today it happened again
all the data is lost again
what do i do?

I have the same! Once in a while I loose files from my storagecard. I have to reinstall the programs.
I made a copy to my PC, so I can copy back if again I loose files. But I really don't know why this strange behaviour happens.
Maybe it's the card itself?

So its not even just me
anyone else had this issue? found how to solve it? i had it day after day.
do you also have the problem where the card looks like it hasent recovered the space?

It's an old problem. If you use search, it turns up few dozens.
Are you using WM6 or WM5? WM6 reportedly has better driver support for SD(HC).

I'm using WM5.
2GB cards arnt SDHC?
i tried searching but didnt find anything that looks like that problem.
want to help me out with a link?

I have this file loosing problem with WM6 and WM5, but not so often, maybe once or twice a month.

Hmm... it was reported that WM6 would solve this problem but it turned out that it's not true.
Perhaps you guys should try the application called sdsentry, which would save your day.

happened to me a few days ago.. something to do with losing power and killing the file allocation table (or something like that).. I used a program called 'GetDataBack for FAT' and got almost everything back.

MiniSD Data dissapearing workaround
1. Stop ALL programs running from miniSD (plugins, background progs, etc.)
2. Trinity On, remove miniSD card.
3. Soft reset Trinity.
4. Using File Explorer (since this could be the only option available), DELETE the "STORAGE CARD" directory.
4. POWER OFF Trinity.
5. Insert miniSD card
6. POWER ON, voila!
Use it at your own risk, it worked for me just fine.
For Admin: Since thius is a pretty common issue for Trinity owners it may be a good idea to make the message STICKY.

Yeah this is a pretty common problem. I had a patriot 2gb nonSDHC card once which had this problem, recurred all the time, changed to kingston and never had it again.
This is probably gonna be your best choice unfortunately.

I had the same issue some days ago with my Trascend 2GB , that's what I did:
1- via a card reader I saved all data in the minisd to a tempdir on my desktop
2- reformatted minisd in FAT
3- copyed all files again from the tempdir to the minisd and reinserted in my Trinity
4- All my files are back again
This help only if you can see your files on the desktop via the card reader..obviously..
Bye

fanelul,
how can you delete the "STORAGE CARD" directory since you removed the miniSD card before? As you know when you remove the card the directory disappear from file explorer list..
Bye

I've had this problem twice.
What I did when data diasppears was:
1) soft reset
2) use the file explorer of ppc
3) you should see 'storage card' AND 'storage card2'
4) delete 'storage card' and leave 'storage card2' alone
5) soft reset
6) you should get everything back whe the ppc reads 'storage card2' as the offset storage card when it changes back to 'storage card' minus the '2'
Hope this helps many.

isnt the case
Hey, this isnt the case, sorry.
i dont have Storage card2.
anyway, i just got this thing again
this time i lost all the folders on the miniSD
but the files that were flat on the miniSD are still there
i think ill try buying a new miniSD card.
if that dosnt work ill send the Trinity for repairs.

Hi,
I've same problem since I use a PNY 2 Go sd card.
To solve it quickly I switch off the screen (hard button on the right top), remove and replace mini SD, and it's ok.
No problem with my 1 go....
After my christmas trip I'll replace Wester_Europe map by French_map and burn my 2go card....

I had a similar problem too. But not all the data disappeared from my minisd.
I used to store images taken from the camera in the rootSD/MyDocuments/images.
My Trinity deleted ALL the data inside the MyDocuments directory, and the data inside Windows directory.
This happened after a soft reset. My Trinity was frozen and i had to soft reset through the lower button.
When it turned on again didn't find any of the programs installed.

Storage card always renamed Storage card 2

Hello everyone,
I'm using French Sunrise rom from Miammiam, posted also on this forum.
And since the last version 2.1 my storage card is always renamed storage card 2 after a soft reset.
I never had this problem with my previous rom Sunrise 1.4, didn't have this problem, but I already encounter this issue on some other rom like Leo rom's, and miri's.
I already tried everything I found on this forum or using google.
As informations I didn't change IE cache path, I'm just storing my emails on the storage card.
I hope some one can help me.
Best regards,

I think that you have a hiden folder called "Storage card" on the root of your device.
rename this folder o delete it then every thing will be right.

Hello,
Thank's for your answer but Event if I delete the newly created folder then soft reset the phone, it change nothing my storage card is again named "Storage card 2".
There is no hidden folder, on the root of my phone I checked it with total commander.
On the other hand after deleting the newly created foler called "storage card" then ejecting my sd card and inserting back the card is again called " Sorage card" but after a soft reset it's again called "storage card 2".
In anyway thank you for your reply.

Try using Resco File Explorer and define there that you want to see hidden (system) files. You may locate an original directory with that name.

I had this problem twice. I my case this problem was probably due to starting up TomTom when connected by USB with my computer.

hey if it aint broke dont fix it...

StorageCard2 (how do i fix?)

Storagecard (this disapeared after a soft reset)'
So how do i fix this. I looked it up in the registry but it have the korrekt name there.

Need help
Never hade this problem before on my kaiser :\

Take the card out, delete the folders that shouldn't be there, reinsert card.

Go here in the registry:
\HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory\
Change the value of the Key named Folder to whatever you want. Default is Storage card.

Can't copy or move files on SD card (unrooted)

I can't copy or move (but I can delete or rename) files and folders on / from the SD card (SanDisk 8GB) of my unrooted Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (SM-G531F) with Android 5.1.1. I still can create, rename or delete files and folders.
I tried with My files and ES File Explorer, then I formatted the card in phone and with SD Formatter.
With my PC I can copy or move files or folders on / from the SD card.
I changed the SD card with one similar from my Asus TF-101 tablet and the same phone problems occur, but the phone SD card works normally in tablet!
Many thanks in advance!

I'll try.

Please don't reset your whole phone, it won't solve the problem anyways.
With the advent of 5.1.1 Google added a new Media Security Protocol. The affect is that any app that doesn't have root securities can not move or copy files between Int and Ext storage, except those they generate.
The good news is that I know of a FREE file manager that can get around the problem by hooking into Androids Storage Access Framework.
One small problem is that the setting turns itself off frequently, so you have to go back in and turn it back on.
The better news is that it's footprint is only a little bit bigger than 'My Files' and it has a massive amount of capabilities and settings which are 100% configurable.
Enough of the suspense, "Ghost Commander"
Good luck, it's not for the weak of mind.
P.S. To get to the switch;
Top right three dot menu
Location
Home
Storage Access Framework
and search out the Mother directory of your Ext card, then select.

I know this is late but i just had this problem on my note 5.
Try installing / SandiskMemoryZone.Apk should let you move pics and files then.
