I have also purchased a kingston 2gb card for my jasjar but after formatting it and installing softwares on it , workedfine but after two days my software on the card automatically got deleted by themselves and video mpeg files got corrupted , i went to the vendor and changed the card by sandisk and still with it also the problem is there i have again changed that with another sandisk and now i have even hard reseted my set and formatted the card by changing its file sys to fat32 from fat but after some days it shows its file sys as raw and start creating problem can anybody help
I don't think it's the SD Cards that has the problem. It must be your Universal creating the problem. You already tried 3 different cards and you got the same results.
I only bought one 2 GB Sandisk card and I have been using it on my Universal for almost a year now without problems.
i dont think so that theres a problem with my jasjar as for last 3 months i was using a 1 gb sd card of ncp and it was working fine with it now i have even restored my activesync 4.2 to 4.1 but still there seems to be a problem , but what it is i m not able to understand it coz i thats also right that 3 cards of two diffrent companies can also not be faulty but still they are causing the same problem of data loss .
plz help and thanks for ur quick reply.

Today I received my 2GB Sandisk miniSD card from eCost (they sell it for real cheap so I thought I get one). I formatted it with XP (using its supplied SD placeholder) to FAT32. After I placed it on the PDA it reported the following crazy results:
2 GB storage
960 MB used
970 MBs free
In other words, my Wizard (running the latest AKU2 QTek ROM from ~March 22 2006) sees the full 2GB, but can only use 1 GB!!!
I then tried to format it with XP using FAT16, but the SAME problem occured.
Thankfully, I downloaded this utility: http://pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=3191 and I did a "repair" (or format) the miniSD via the PocketPC. THIS utility saved the day! It fromatted the miniSD card correctly! And now I can see and use ALL of the card.
Please note that the problem/bug might not be with XP or the PPC. It might be with the actual SD placeholder, or even the flash reader (hardware bugs). The point is, that somewhere along the way something gets screwed during the formatting. So, if you buy a miniSD 2GB and you get such or other problems, download the StorageTools utility linked above to format (or use "repair") the miniSD card directly in the PocketPC instead of using XP and a SD-placeholder/flash-reader.
BTW, I also posted a review of the QTek 9100 yesterday: http://tuxtops.com/node/749
wow! I'm reading your post and thinking I wrote it! I had the EXACT same problem. I tried another utility (that made my miniSD card unrecognizable to my kjam).....a quick format with my pc, and I was back to only about 1gb of usable space....then i stumbled across storage tools. I ran the repair, and it was fixed! ahhhhh 2gb of space....woohoo!
Same problem, diffrent solution...
I also had the same problem, but found another solution, after trying to reformat, both in ppc and pc and cardreader in printer, card was unreadable by all devices. Therefore, as a last resort, I put the card in my digital camera (nikon s2) wich recogniced the card as unformatted and kindly asked if I would like to format it... after that it worked perfectly
help!!
i got the same problem with my 2G sd card..
i formatted with my PC and now it show only 975mb in my card!!!!!!!!!
i had try to use the StorageTools to repair it via my XDA mini s.. but it still show 975MB.... any idea???
After you used StorageTools to repair the miniSD card, you need to do a soft reset for the PocketPC to recognize the rest of the card.
However, I must tell you, the only clear deal is to FORMAT the card WITH StorageTools and NOT to simply just do a repair.
Hey I have this same problem, but the link to the program is no longer any good. Does anyone know what the name of the application was.
Thanks,
Bought new card
OK- Now I do not know what to do. I just went out and bought a new 2GB scan Disk MiniSD card. When I went to install my data on it, I can only get 1GB on the card. I need 2 GB. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this. I thought the last card was bad, but I guess not. This happens on 8125 and in Windows. Both see the card as 2 GB but will error out when you try to add more than 1 GB.
Please help.
Thanks,
The name is that one: storagetools...
I had the same problem and using just the evaluation version of the program was good enough to format mi sd and everything it's ok!

what is a better format for MiniSD 1G (prob:read/writes slow)
I have a problem with my miniSD card reading and writing WAY too slow.
I think that may have happened when I formated the card as FAT32 partition instead of FAT. This thread seems like it is a helpfull answer, but which would read and write better? Does anyone know?
Thanx in advance.

All,
I have a 2gb Sandisk Mini SD Card in my Qtek 9100 and up until today its been working fine. However my Qtek started to behave strange today and suddenly would connect to my pc via ActiveSynch nor could it read the sd card.
Well in fear of loosing all my stuff on the sd card I tried in other phones, on another pc, in my camera....jsut to save it but I couldnt.
I ended up doing a hard reset of the Qtek since I couldnt solve the ActiveSynch issue and now its up and running.
BUT.....my SD card is only on 1gb now. :-( So what can be done ? Format it....yup but I dont have any program to do it with....
Help help help....the next step is to send the sd card back to the company I bought it from but then I'll have to wait for a new one
Please help
Jakob
Well I have just formattet the storage card with StorageTools and when I have the card in my qtek it shows 1gb
But if I put it in my camera and then connect it to my pc I see 2gb....
i had problems on my card and formated using wm5torage from the desktop...and it is working flawlessly, i suggest to do that...but usually that size problems happen in fake cards...do u filled the card some time or at least passed the 1gb limit?
I'm going to buy Gene and read a lot of possitive oppinions abiut it. But there is a discussion on a russion forum www.4pda.ru about SD card problem. As I understood sometimes it looses SD card and everything on it. The files are shown in wrong symbols and even more - sometimes all data are lost. Does anybody had the problemm? know the solution? Thank you.
Get a reputable brand. I once had that problem with a 512MB in Imate JAM, but my Gene has a 1GB Apacer and Ive never had problems. Get a miniSD with an adapter for more versatility.
i have sumtin to tell
hey i bought my gene say three months back.put a 1 gb Transcend SD...but after some days when i took it out and again inserted it...the memory was lost and it was not formatting also....one fine day suddenly my treo recognized the card..but with only 480 MB.....i had to finally buy a new SD for my Gene...
They say SD card should be inserted after soft reset and will work fine. Also there e few guys tested MMC cards and said there wew no problems.
same here

hey i got the same problem to. talk to the HTC CustomerCare. they asked me to get my PPC reflashed. it might be due to some ROM error.
but if u try restarting (soft reset) ur PPC. it will work normally. i have used this technice. it works fine with me.
I recently came to a big problem. my storage card is not working correctly. my ppc takes a lot of time in accessing and reading it and sometimes gets hangs while doing it. i tried formating my device but the problem still exists. then i tried formating the memory card with my PC but again something strange happened. While formatting my pc gave an error msg "Windows Can't Format" or something like tht. i tried to manually delete the contents of my memory card but it says can not access device. I am sure tht my card is not Password lock. i think the problem occured after i used "WM5 Storage" software for my PPC to act as a "Mass Storage Device".
plz some1 tell me how can i fix my memory card.
plz plz plz plz plz help..........
yes, it is definitely a big problem with the SD card problem, i mean not the SD card problem, but the Gene's Problem! i bought it 2 months ago for my wife, comes with a brand new Transcend 1GB SD card, after i've installed all the programs into the SD card, its seems ok at first...BUT, when the Gene go to the standby mode, & u wake up the Gene, the program u have installed in the SD card all GONE!! the device can't find any thing in SD card & it finally hang! it is definitely not bcos i m using lousy brand SD card, i've tried Kingston, Pendrive, Sandisk & it has the same problem! i've called HTC service centre in Malaysia (i m from Malaysia) & they dun even knew about this (& even they gave me taiwan HTC email address, & told me to get an answer from taiwan).....
i have no choice, i have hard reset the device for more than 10 times, believe me, i started my pda phone live 5 years ago, i knew what is hard reset...& i tried more than 5 SD cards... same problem, some of the cards facing difference problem - the data saved in the card became unreadable & weird symbol.
since the service center does not has any solution for it, i have to use my own silly stupid way to prevent the Gene Hang, i have set the device all the time alive & avoid going to standby mode, & the problem solved...never hang again...but...imagine...the battery life ....(sigh).....
i sincerely hope that there is somebody in this forum could help to solve this BIG problem.....
At me too a problem with SD card... Very often on a card some files and folders are renamed in not clear symbols and data vanish.... A problem not only at me.... It at many, and it does not depend on a card memory from insertion Gene...
SD Card got Locked
I installed a software on my Gene, named "WM5 Storage".
it allows u to access ur memory card without activesync, as Mass Storage Device.
after the first use i found my card locked. it was unreadable. my ppc also started hanging. i tried restarting my ppc. now i was able to acces my storage card from file explorer, but it takes around 15-20 minutes and another 15minutes to access the files. when i connect it with my pc, active sync does not detect the SD card. i also tried to format the SD card through a card reader. the card reader reads its root files but couldn't access/open them. when i tried to format it give an error "device not accessible. device not ready.".
i also checked the lock button on the card, it was unlocked. plz some1 help.
plz plz plz..
mee too
GUYS I HAVE ONE CARD WITH ME THAT IS PERFECTLY OK...BUT DOES NOT GET READ IN MY GENE.....IN MY TREO 680 IT SHOWS ONLY HALF MEMORY....AND MY LAPTOP IS ALSO NOT RECOGNISING IT...WAT TO DO....???
I have the same sd card problem.......can anybody tell me the solution?is there same problem with mmc card? if no them i'll buy a new mmc card....plz help me.
Count me in
I had this problem for 5 times and still has it. Actually this happens(based on my experiences and opinion only) when u install some software on the SD card and it damages the file system.
Solution might be not to install apps on SD card or use a RS-DV-MMC which is used in recent Symbian phones.
Give it a try...
And plz post feedback.
Enjoy....
Hi,
I have some problems with my Uni.. Two days ago I remove SD card from SD slot as usual to copy some things on it and when I inserted SD card back it doesn't appear in system as usual.. From this time my 4 GB and 1 GB SD cards didn't work.. When I tried friends SDHC card and switch to the SDHC cards in menu it works.. I tried to disassamble it, but there is everything OK I think.. I tried to reflash my Uni and the same situation is on WM5 and Tomal 7.7 and 8.0.. If someone have some idea please share it in thread..
