hey guys, just wondering if this is a known bug on universals or just several roms or if i have a dodgy universal or sd card in general:
It seems when i bring the device out of standby mode after a long period of inactivity, i enter my password and the device just freezes, locks up - Dead.
When I take the storage card out and repeat, the device is fine which lead me to believe the card was duffly formatted, so i stuck it in my card reader and formatted it into FAT32 and then put all my data back on... same problem!
So i then flashed my device from the QTEK rom to the o2 rom in corp mode to see if i still had the issue... was fine for a short while then earlier today i turned it back out of standby and same problem!
So i've narrowed it not to be the storage cards fault, since the card works fine in my xda 2s, and card reader and it seems to either be a subsequent issue in the o2 and qtek roms, or maybe ive got a duff universal with dodgy card slot?
Is this lockup issue a known bug?
Sometimes when i get lucky the device doesnt lock up but instead the card disappears from the system view, and only removing the battery and then rebooting solves it.
If anyone can shed any light i'd appreciate it!
had similar problem
On my compact and PRO (univsersal) I had 1 1gb SD card that always gave a message improperly removed when the device came out of standby.
Used the card that came with my PRO , a 512mb SANDISK no problem.
Put the 1gb in my panasonic camera its fine. the 16MB that came with my camera but branded panasonic works fine in my PRO, left the 512 in my compact for as MP3 with bluetooth headphones.
I think the compact had less problems after a recent T-mobile ROM update.
I think the Compact and PRO are both fussy what cards they use. My 1gb SD card is a generiic 66x. Also I think that there are some bugs to be ironed out with power management.
BTW should it be flashed in FAT or FAT32, some devices can only read FAT I believe.
If you use standby/suspend and you have media files (music/books/etc) on the SD card and the app in main memory you'll have problems when you re-start. I get this problem with MS Reader and eBooks all the time. Looks like another bug in WM5 to me.

Funny, I have all of my apps on the Main Memory, and my .prc's, .avi's, and .ogg's on the storage card, and I've never had this problem?
(I'm using a 1 Gig Jessops card that originally came with my camera, no idea what it "really" is though)
@sun69,
the problem only occurs if you use powersave/suspend and you leave a media file open, eg when reading an ebook.
this also happens when you have a 2577 folder on the sd card and do not have a start.exe in it. It will let the device hang.
Ive found the problem to be with the SD card itself, if i use the 128mb Sandisk from my Xda II s it's fine,but within ten minutes of sticking the 512 Lexitar card in, the whole device is ten feet under...
Looks like ill need another

I reformatted my 2GB SD card and one problem I had with WM5 reporting a shortage or RAM went away. Not really sure why the Exec seems to be so sensitive about SD cards.
Actually this reminds me... I used a 1GB KINGMAX SD card in my XDA II Mini and it hangs randomly... Now I'm using a 1GB Sandisk SD Plus USB in my XDA Exec and it hangs randomly too...
I am reverting back to me Panasonic 128mb SD card to see if that helps... Although it's weird that on my Xda Exec it only SOMETIMES hangs when I receive an SMS... don't know whether this is two issues or one.
I have a 4GB Transcend SD Card. I can install and run any application on it but, the camera application can't seem to read or store any pictures on it. It states: "not enough memory"
I tried reformatting it using Pocket Mechanic on my Exec and still the same result. I tried reformatting it on my computer but it can't read the 4GB SD card from Transcend.
funny I have a 1Gb Sandisk card and even if I have no media files open sometimes it just hangs on resume. The only way to get around this problem is to leave the XDA switched on all the time and swithc only the backlight.
However, this way the battery life is shorter. I think this problem should be addressed to someone who is technical (not like me) maybe we get a plausable explanation of what shall we do.
It is very annoying since when the system hangs up the mobile does not have any coverage and in sales it means loosing potential customers!!!!
XDA EXEC
Same problem Here.
I had a 1 Gig card and I often had to take it out to solve the problem.
Now I have a 2 Gig card (Sandisk Ultra II) and the problem is solved.
I'm not that technical, but wasn't there an issue with dual voltage sd card's?
I too have a memory card problem. I have loaded some pictures and videos on the card but as soon as I try to open them in File Explorer the XD Exec freezes and will only work again if I remove the memory card or reset the Exec. Then it freezes again when I try and read the memory card again. I've tried loading stuff on using Active Sync and using a memory card reader and still the same. I've even formatted the card again. It is a cheap SD memory card will I need a new memory card or is it a software problem?
@jah, my wife has this same problem on her Wizard (vario), she got a 128Mb miniSD with her Vario. If she leaves the card in and allows the device to suspend then wakes it up she gets a white blank screen and has to soft reset to recover. With the card removed the problem goes away. She had her vario replaced because of this fault (tech support thought it was the vario at fault). It was only when the problem occured with the new vario that I had a play and found with the card removed the fault went away. We haven't taken the card back yet, but I am 99% sure it is a card fault.
I might try her card with the adaptor in my Exec and see if I get the same problems as you are getting?

It seems like Dopod900/Univeral is sharing the same problem, too sensitive toward particular SD brand/model. My Dopod900 also having a huge problem recognizing the Kingston 2G SD 133x but works fine with Transcent 2G SD 150x.
I have the following problem with my newly purchased Qtek S110, every time I insert the SD card the phone freezes so have to go through resetting the phone every time. And NO memory card is identified on the phone. The storage card memory capacity under settings is constantly reading as 7mb even though I insert a 1 GB card.
What card are u using
Mine did the same. Some folks found it worked after taking card out and in a few times combined with soft resets. I did a hard reset and everything is fine now. I also find that device works much better with every new programme you download installed to Storage Card. It seems to like a good bit of free memory on the machine itself.
hi , ive tried both suggestions to no avail, im using 1g card byMLC PEAK. the phone seems not to recognise the sd card at all for some unkown reason.
My device switches on by itself and then crashs with the screen on, it is not possible to access any thing and the only thing it responds to is to do a soft reset.
The only difference between now and when it was working fine is the usuage of a micro SD card. My device works perfectly when there is no SD card installed, if I install a SD card the device starts to show the stange behaviour straight away.
The SD card which I am using is a 1 GB Sandisk card. What do you think? Do you think it is a device hardware problem or what?
Thanks in advance for any offered help!

Have you tried reformatting the card in a PC card reader? FAT32, allocation size of 512. and make sure contacts on card are clean.
Mike
I did that already but with no improvement. What I don't understandis, why my device switchs on by itself, as if it detects a new SD card inserted while it is off!!
I don't want to be fast concluding it is a hardware problem, it is still under warranty, but I would like to send it only when I am sure it is hardware problem!

Need to establish if it's the card or device. Don't suppose you can access another card?
Mike
I have only one card, it seems I will have to buy another one, just to do the test! I will do that today in the evening, unless someone has better ideas.
thx

There's a bit discussion going on already... see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294324
Well, I had some similar problems. Now I make sure that EVERY application & service running is on the main device memory (RAM). eMail attachments, browser cache, all today add-ons and all applications that run with a schedule (like Backup etc.) - Only documents, Tomtom Maps and Games are left on the SD card. Reduced freezes to one in a week.
Well, and I just ordered a Kingston card and will compare it to SanDisk. Both 2GB.
I tried another 512 Mbyte card, it seems better so far (only since 1 day). I didn't have any freezes, but the device wakes up by itself from time to time, although the option to wake up when a key is pressed is disabled. I can't understand this!!
Kingston 2GB card working perfect so far. Running WM6 (check my signature).
I just get my HD2 phone on Jun10, it come with free 8gb mini sd card, so I insert ad go to tools folder then format it and use ... after 3 day the phone suddenly appear "you want to format memory" ... then I know my SD card got something wrong ...
So I press yes to reformat ...but no help .. every time insert the phone detect a new memory card insert and ask for format. I have no choice go and buy another 8gb mini sd card ..
This time can stay longer until yesterday when I apply BsB setting and restart the phone I get the same massage again .." would you like to format memory card" ...... try and try ..the mini sd card also can not use ... even the computer can't detect this 2 card when I plug on it.....
I wonder is it a defect design on HD2 .. the card slot look like at the processor area .. b'cos when I watch movie or long hrs browse net ..that area was getting hot?? or 8GB too big to support ..
I very frustrated, it is not b'cos of $$$ but is all my hard work for this few week ie: all the picture and short video then I recorded ...
Spoilt SD 8gb card
Hi there,I have just make a one to one exchange with the HTC service center without any question asked as long as your phone is still under warranty.It seems that this problem happen occasionally to those who own Htc Hd2.I've read some forum indicate the problem still happenning.So,I've to have a backup cum standby card with fully download all my favourites Tips and Threat with me,just to play safe.Is it the Card manufacturer fault or the phone developement not essential enough to access the card,any solution?
Lately I've been having problems with my touch screen, in the middle of something it stops working. And I have to either restart my phone or turn the screen on and off a number of times. I have tried many roms after this first occurred but it still persist. At the same time as this first happend, my SD card crashed..
(I have tried to mount the SD to my pc with a card reader and it makes my pc hangs everytime I try to highlight a folder.. )
Anyone out there with suggestions to fix this?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
bump, anyone?
Sounds like the standard digitizer-going-out-hardware-fault issue that plagues the HD2's... As far as your SD card I would try to repartition or reformat it and see if that clears it up. Have you tried another PC to read the SD card?
Its so strange that i just have to close the screen a couple of times and then it works, it works like a charm when i have it plugged in to the charger.
I have tried my sd card on 3 computers and one mac. the mac didnt noticed it at all. but same result on the computers as mine.
Try slow formatting to all the SD Card in one logical FAT32 partition with default cluster size.
Tanks, but my pc just hangs, nothing happens.. think I have to buy a new sd card
