Unaccessible programs on SDCARD after card withdrawal

Hello everybody, Seasons Greetings to all
i'm facing trouble with the way the SDcard works on my Qtek2020: I can install all programs i want on the card and everything works flawlessly until i withdraw the card from the device for any reason, no programs launched at the time of the withdrawal; When i put the card back in the device, the SDCARD seems to be empty for the device and despite that i can see that the contents is still present and displayed under fileexplorer, all shortcuts to the on the storagecard stored programs have vanished, and are not restored even after few minutes wait or a softreset.
Is this a known limitation of the device? Is there a way to refresh these shortcuts (without having to copy new ones by hand)? Is this a known limitation of either Windowsmobile2033 Phoneedition or WindowsMobile2003? I add that this doesn't happen on my E200 Smartphone(Qtek8080) with the same cards. When i put the card back all shortcuts that were still available but grayed out after having removed the card are displayed and working? I hope this helps!!
Is there a workaround for this?
Awaitng your inputs, i remain, Brgds, ARNAUD

how about Qtek soft reset ...
with SD card inside - have you tried this ?? it might help ... at least it helped me twice on similar occassion
regards, monika

if that does not help ...
maybe you might consider using some SD media verification tool or even formatting for good orders's sake ...
but soft reset hopefully is to solve your problem

MDA Vario, No storage space

Hello all,
Sorry if this has been asked before, I have an MDA vario, with a 2gb storage card.
It had about 17megs free memory on the phone and had about 300mb of files on the card.
I thought i would try the Active sync for the first time. When i did it, it said, No storage space.
So i went to delete files but theres nothing on the phone, it just seems to think its got no spare memory
Il switch to another ROM and have downloaded 1 off here, however i can't find an unlock for my phone, i know there are a couple of post but i can't find the download.
If anybody knows what is taking up all the memory though that would be great!
Nice site BTW.
Thanks!

Give MemMaid a go, and it will tell you which folders on your device are taking up most of the memory. Go here...

...and click on "Download Trial" just beneath the screenshot.
As for unlocking your Vario, this one works...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796
...the required files on the first page, just read through it and you will see.

If i go to the clear storage on my phone, will that work?

Clear storage performs a hard reset. What the means is it will revert your phone to back to when you got it brand new, ie none of the extra apps you installed and the data you added/created will be present... they will all be deleted.
Have you installed many apps onto your phone direct to the built in memory? What about any large MP3s and pictures, where do you save those?

Nothing at all,
just tried clear storage, waiting for it to reboot, everything is on the storage card, even pictures/videos are set to store straight to card.

If its a aku2 rom you have used and want to unlock afterwards use lokiwiz 0.3a http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50768
If you want to upgrade to another rom from another manufacturer and are coming from non-aku2 rom i.e. the rom starts with a 1 then use lockiwiz 0.2b http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796

1. Make sure your card is not locked by the "lock" switch (like on sd cards)
2. Put your card in card reader on your PC and make sure that your MapSettings.cfg is NOT "read only" that should work and it is nothing to do wit TT version.
3. If #2 fails than with your card in your card reader on your PC select all the files, rightclick to properties and than select "read only" to make all files read only and click apply. Than do the same again but deselect read only this time and click apply. That should work. Don't wory about any system files because thaey will not change status.
Hope this helps

eureka !!!!
it works....the.cfg file was locked..
thanks guys and a very useful tip for all !!!

Apps installed to storage card wont run from start menu

Hi all,
This always happened to me. In winmobile 6 and now 6.5. For some reasons since yesterday apps which installed to my storage card disconnected it's link or short cuts in the start menu. Now all of the apps in my storage card i can't access from start menu. when i clicked the app icon in my start menu my HD2 responded
"Cant open XXX. File is not registered or not trusted in digital signature, or can't find one of the files elements. Please resintall or restore this file."
I have to go to the file directory in my storage card to run the apps. This is very annoying and very inconivence. Anyone knows why? What's worse is that all of the new apps that i installed to my storage card has the same issue... Which means i can't no longer install apps to my storage card...
Help?

Use file explorer to find your chosen program icon /copy it
Still using file explorer go to device/windows/start menu/programs and paste shortcut using left hand bottom menu
Job done ! Rename it if you want !

DISREGARD THE LAST MADE AN ERROR !!
Use file explorer to find your chosen program icon /copy it
Still using file explorer go to device/windows/start menu/programs and paste shortcut using RIGHT hand bottom menu
Job done ! Rename it if you want !

if you go to file explorer can you read your sd card? I had the same issue and it was the sd card that failed so it could not read/find the program it was looking for. Try for kicks copying over some apps to a different storage card and retry. It will at least eliminate that possibility.

Yes, HD2 can read the SD card, and i have to go to the SD card location to run the apps. Just can not access from the start up menu...

So, install to phone mem instead and problem solved!

Anyone else can help? I think install to the main memory is not a very good idea.

I had the same problem you described. It happened after some old program I launched got the phone stuck and I had to pull the battery out to do a reset.
After the boot completed, I started to receive errors when trying to launch programs from the storage card. Uninstalling wouldn't work and reinstalling always failed.
Replacing the sd card didn't help either.
I believe that something corrupted the registry.
I finally gave up and hard reset.
The only good thing that came out of it was getting a new 16GB sd card for me to use.

My happened when i installed a lockscreen cab to my HD2 to the main memory. After that everything i installed to the storage card wont run from the startup menu.
Really? some dude told me to reformat my storage card. I'd rather do a hard resert cuz i have alot of crap in my 16G storage card.
I haven't gave up yet so i will still try to look for my other options... Thanks to know at least i am not the only one who encounter this fu**ing problem...

Gave up and hard reset a couple of times, and i found out that the reason i can't click the icon in my start menu to access the apps which i installed in my storage card. It was because of i change the local and Text. I changed from Taiwan to USA and HD2 will not let me access the apps from start menu. This is very wierd, but if i change back to Region: Chinese Taiwan, then my HD2 is ok again... Just to share with you guys...

SD card is full or missing when in "Documents" tab

When I'm on "Documents" tab it says - "SD card is full or missing"
Any way around it ?

Come on ... nobody has this problem ?!!!

I had that problem too and I wish I could give you a way to fix it, but I had to perform a hard reset after WMWifiRouter screwed my WiFi up. Your post reminded me about the problem with the documents tab and I just checked it... turns out the hard reset also fixed this issue for me.
I'll let you know if it comes back and we can work out a fix that doesn't involve resetting everything on the phone.

I actually performed hard reset (because of a different issue). Unfortunately it did not fix Documents tab problem

are you using a ram disk at all? that is known to mess with the docs tab.

hmm no clue then, sorry. Think if it were me i'd try copy off all the files and folders onto the pc then format the sd card and copy everything back, just to see.

Did you remove the original SD card that came with it? Or, replace it with another one? I know it's in the manual that once you do it, the SD card may not work anymore, or something like that. Maybe that's the cause, I'm just guessing since I don't have this kind of problem.

microSD card came with T-Mobile Hd2 (US version) already inserted. Did not touch it

I have this problem too with my Touch HD.
I can't read my documents. It says: "SD card is full or missing".
Any help. Please...

I've fixed this problem
I had this problem too
I've fixed this problem thus
I backed up all info the storage Card and I made a complete format the storage card complete under windows, after I copied all info into storage card again, and this operation fixed this problem

Did exactly same thing but it did not fix it for me

Format worked for me, although I'm pretty sure the SD card was fine, and was gonna compare the pre-format files to post-format and see if I accidentally deleted anything that would cause this. Was in a hurry though, and never ended up comparing.
Formatted(full) SD card on PC, then put in phone and formatted there to get the stock files back on. Then copied everything else over (TF movies, and my downloads, etc..). Worked fine after that.

Hi
I had the same problem and quicikly solved this issue:
Go to: \Carte de stockage or Storage card\Application Data\HTC\databases\DocExp
And delete 2 files: postlist.DB & value.DB
It worked for me, hope the same for you

Installing a network plugin caused the issue on mine, when I unistalled it worked again

mdean, do you happen to have the name or the cab handy, so I can take a peek at it for a possible connection to the cause? Thanks!

I tried 3 different ones, all caused the problem - generic network plugin, htc network plugin, and schnaps network plugin

SD Card is full or Missing - SOLVED
1. Delete the folder - Storage card\Application Data
2. Tab again the document tab - wait re-loading until finish searching all documents
3. Successful!

thanks dude i was having the same problem, when i enabled shared network folder in touch tool, it stop working but i went back and disabled it and now working again.

Glad you all figured it out... I had this problem 3 weeks ago and immediately after enabling and setting up the network plugin with Touch Tools 1.4. Luckily, I didn't have to look for the cause since the last thing I did was install & use the network plugin!
So, for future reference.........
Also, your facebook pictures in htc album's facebook tab will stop showing up if you manually assign a "CacheSize" value other than 0 to HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS.
Be advised!
