My wifes MDA Compact II keeps coming up with a msg box prompting to format the sd card. This usual happens when she goes to use the PDA so I'm guessing it's something to do with power up/down. I have checked the SD card an it appears to be OK, no problems in my universal.
I can't find any posts about this, aAny one else have this problem? Any idea's how to stop it?
Personally I think theres a bit of a problem with the MDAC2 and the slow speed causing drivers to start to run before the SDIO is ready
I'd check you haven't got a 2577 directory on your storage card - if you have rename it
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?
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.
Very confused, I minute I was listening to music and the next minute my memory card became unreadable. I have resetted the phone several times and have taken the memory card out and reinserted it and still it will not read that card and when booting as majority of my programs is on the card error messages on boot gallore. Also tried my sd card on my friends HTC and also same problem.
Any way to fix this problem as it still shows that the SD card has 1gig of information on it but it cannot see.
Hope someone can shed some light on this. THanks
USB?
I understand that it's highly unlikely ..........But, you're not connected via the usb cable to a PC are you? this will hide the starage card (unless by activesync)
Nope not connected to anything.. In Fact when I connect it to the computer, the computer won't recognize it either ..
Simply read these threads. Not that it will fix your card, but it will help you accept you simply need to buy a new one (given that you claim your PC also does not recognize it)

Personally, I consider myself lucky that it is the card that broke, not the phone.
Check out the StorageTools app mentioned in the Thread above.
This has a verify option for SD cards. I used it on my 16gig card when it started behaving strange (due to some weird app I used and terminated).
Later I used the format option to fix the card - worked fine !!
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!
