Help required with Sandisk 256mb + wi-fi

My Qtek S100 will not recognise my Sandisk 256mb + wi-fi SD card. It's a bit of a long story....
- The Sandisk card used to work, but now it doesn't (!)
- I have two 2Gb MMC cards which currently work. At one point, the Qtek wouldn't recognise these either.
- Now it does.
- I have dropped the phone a couple of times.....
I've followed all the instructions for installing the wi-fi card from the other threads, i.e. 1) Remove drivers 2) Soft reset 3) install PPC 2003 drivers from Sandisk site 4) Soft reset 5) Insert card.
But on inserting the card, nothing happens. No green LED, no wi-fi symbol at the bottom of the screen. On tapping the Sandisk Wi-Fi icon in connnections, it says "Unable to connect to the Wireless NetCard. Is it inserted?"
In my MMC USB card reader, the Sandisk card operates normally.
So, the question is: must I assume it's a hardware problem, caused by dropping the Qtek?
Thanks for any ideas!
PS - how do I update my ExtROM?

PNY 2GB 133x SD on Alpine

Hi guys,
I have bought a new SD card for my XDA IIi, a PNY 2GB SD (133x) (ID: EMET1064) and I formated it in my Cassio exilim z-55 camera..
I don*t know if this was stupid or not, but the card only showed 954 MB. I tried again to format it in the PDA, got the same result. The card shows only 1 GB out of 2.
Any of you got this problem with 2GB SD cards?
On the datakits.co.uk site they point it is compatible with XDA and XDA II (don*t know it for XDA IIi, though)
http://www.datakits.co.uk/store/product_info.php/products_id/594
My current Alpine configuration is:
ROM : 1.11.00 WWE
Radio: 1.03.00
ExtROM : 1.11.162 WWE
Thanks in advance

By the looks of things mate, it looks like they have miss labled the SD card, although my SD card is a 1Gb and it shows as 975.41 Mb.
In any case it isnt showing the correct capacity so i'd be more than tempted to ask for a replacement. Just be prepared for a wait.

1GB card detected as 135MB-Problem Solved

I have a problem, the SD card works, the device asked me to format it, but after the format my S100 detects it as a 135 MB card. I don't have a card reader to try formating the card in it , but while in the phone i tried to format it from my PC - no change - after the formating it's still detected as 135MB. How can I fix this?
I've tried Resco Explorer, Softick CardExport II<both format on the device and from my PC in card export mode> and Pocket Mechanic<both in FAT16 and FAT32> - all the three of them detect it as 135 MB card. The card is working great with Universal, and in camera the card is working too, so it's OK and it's realy 1 GB....
the brand is 1GB PQI hi-speed 133

Subject: 1GB card detected as 135MB????? HELP ME PLEASE
Hi use this app inside the windows with a card reader,
CompuApps SwissKnife V3 3.22
link: http://software-files.download.com/...48&siteId=4&edId=3&pid=10485574&psid=10070864
good lock , [/quote]

10x, pal, as soon as i 've tried i'll write what's the result.

There's some kind of problem- Swissknife gives me an error when I try to run it under Windows XP SP2. During the install there were no errors. But the program crashes everytime I start it up... I've downloaded again from the developers site reinstlled it and - nothing - it gives me the same error again. everytime I run it I end up witjh the MS error reporting tool...

Problem Solved
IT WORKED. I've just needed to restart my PC. The card is shown now as 955MB card. Great tool. I've even succeded without the card reader-used Softik Card Export II and formated the card via the USB directly on my Qtek

jam failed to recognize sd/mmc cards

My imate jam had Kingston 128mb mmc card and it was running fine for about 1 month. yesterday i got a new kingston 512 mb SD card to use it with my jam.
I put my 128mb mmc card in a card reader and copied all the data to my computer. Now i removed the card and inserted the new 512mb sd card in card reader. I formatted the new card and copied the data ( of 128mb mmc card) from my computer to the sd card.
I put the 512mb sd card in my jam but it didnt recognize it. THen i put my old 128mb mmc card and jam didnt recognize it too. Its been a day and jam has not been recognizing these cards. i have tried formatting these two cards using Fat and FAT32. but still no success.
Here is the reading from my jam.
Settings-> About says that expansion slot is not in use

what happened ? can anyone help ?thanks in anticipation

Maybe something like the memory card slot's contacts have some trouble probably happened while trying to remove and insert cards often or the other. Rule this out by switch off(sleep mode) your device and insert the card. If the device tries to find a card is inserted by the electronic contacts, it lights up the screen or turns it on.
Does it happen?

i found the solution
Yesterdat night, i inserted my 512 mb kingston card into my digital camera and formatted the card. Then i put the card in my imate jam and instantly it recognized it.
I think the problem is in my card reader ( or maybe in the usb cable which connects to card reader to the computer)

OK
That should work OK.
You may have a faulty card or dirty contacts on the card or phone contacts. Perhaps you could try inserting and removing several times as this can clean off the contacts. The card should insert smoothly and click cleanly into place.
Also, the camera application should offer you the choice to save to the storage card (if it detects a card). Just another way to see if it's being detected.
If all fails, try to access another card, at least that will let us know if it's the phone or the card.
You can also try re-formatting the card using a PC.

I had a similar issue when i got my sd card.What solved it for me was to insert the card,wait a few seconds,then do a soft reset with the card still inserted.When the hermes rebooted it recognized the micro card instantly

I had a similar problem after I enabled the network folder with Resco Explorer 2008. I removed that and it's been working for months now.

Yes indeed and if you have the network folder enabled, the Camera for example, will never save to it despite it asking if you want to save to the card. (It will always revert to Main memory if the network folder is enabled).

has anyone solved this it wont work on mine either
