My O2 mini is currently working ok with a 1GB SD card. However when I try to use a 2GB SD card, it always pops up the message "Do you want to try to format this storage card to make it readable? This will permanently delete any files on the card. Yes. No."
After I go ahead and format it, it says "This storage card has been successfully formatted". But the card does not show up in File Explorer. Also on removal and re-insertion of the card it shows the Formatting message all over again and again. This card is a "MyFlash Turbo" Card purchased from Singapore and it works perfectly fine in my USB card reader. I've tried copying files onto the card using the card reader. When I load this card in my O2 mini it again pops up the formatting option. When I format it in the O2 and try to read it through the card reader, the windows OS now tells me that this card is not formatted.
I don't know what to make of this. Can any one give me a solution to make the card recognized by my O2 mini?
Best Regards
same problem here bought my card in singapore too... some people have reported it to work. Would appreciate if someone could figure it out.
Maybe it's a specific brand that does not work?

Well that's what I thought, but this card seems to work ok through the card reader so I can't figure out if it's card or the xda mini which is at fault ??? Meanwhile my xda mini accepts my other cards. Any one has any clues as to what might be the problem ?

that's mean the SD card is not compatible with magician. I also got the same problem with only 256mb SD card. it's probably running on a not compatible frequency with magician.
My SanDisk Ultra II 2gig card from MobyMemory works perfectly

Running a different frequency? I thought there was a SD compatible format, and that all SD card are made accordingly...
I had the same thing with my Sandisk Ultra 2GB. What I did was pair the device with my laptop and explor to the SD card via the explorer in Activesync. I then created a folder called Temp. After I did this, the file explorer and magician would see the card with no problems.
Hope it help

I have exactly the same problem with the MyFlash (AData) 2GB as well on my O2 Mini.
Swap 3 cards already (different batches) and all had the same problem.
I've experience problem copying files to it from my laptop as well. I used a USB2.0 SD reader/writer and copied a large 900MB file to it - got the following error after a while:
Windows Delayed write error. Path is too deep
My Explorer hangs from that point. Same thing happened for all 3 cards.
I'm staying away from this AData 2GB for now.
cheers,

Any comment welcome... or should I just get a 1gb card?
Has anyone successfully used Adata 150x 1gb sd with their MDA Compact?
Thanks.

I've had the same problem with this card on my JAM- simply does not recognise it at all (therefore cannot even try Mashie's method).
Tried it on my mate's XDA ii and it works straight away (ended up selling to him). What is it with these not supporting particular 2GB cards.
I think as a rule of thumb, those 2GB card which are 60x speed should work:
Sandisk - probably not the Extreme III
ATP 2GB
PNY 2GB
All of these are far more expensive than the Adata and others from the far east.

ADATA My Flash 1GB card doesn't work as well.
Have you tryed to format the card with your SD-Reader card? or best install Pocket Mechanic and try format with some other FAT options.
Good luck!
I bought an ADATA myflash MMCplus turbo 2GB 200x from us and it worked out of the box on my magician .109€.

The only obvious differences between this one the other ADATA one is that this one is MMC and a faster speed.
Still strange that it does work (or why this one works and not the others).
I have ordered yet another 2GB SD; will post to let you guys know if it works or not.

Hermes devices only use micro sd cards
Mike
Thanks for that Mike. Can you just clear one more thing for me please. I can only use a 2gb micro sd card with the M3100 or will these new 4gb micro sd HC cards work?

They are not long out and I have not heard any feedback yet. You could have a look around in the Hermes Accessories board it was being discussed there.
Mike
Thanks for that mike
4GB Micro !!
I just tried one in my Cingular 8525. The device reads 1 GB only. I thought I had a defective card, so I replaced it with another but still it read 1GB. Then I placed a 2GB. It read it as 2 GB. ( 1.93 GB ). Not sure why it couldn't read the 4 though.

This could be because of the way the card is formatted.
I would format using a card reader in a PC to:
FAT32 using 512k sectors size.
if problems remain I have seen a suggestion that you could partition the disk to have 2 X 2Gb partitions.

Hey guys!
I have a question about flashing with SD-Card:
Do I have to use 1GB/2GB Cards which are none "SDHC" cards?
Or does our Blackstone support High Capacitiy in Bootloader Mode?

I flashed mine using the 8GB card that came with the phone. I would of thought as long as the phone can read the memory card you'll be able to flash from it.
Ok, if you did it with the 8GB card then it should work. Thanks

That's wrong, as far as I know. My old device was a Hermes which I could NOT flash with SDHC cards. But it was also able to read SDHC cards like my 4GB SDHC card.
That's why I asked
i tried with 2 different 8gb cards one of which came with the phone and both didnt work ,
but my 2gb and 16gb both work

I can confirm this too - and I nearly always flash my HTC's from the card.
But you need make sure that card is first formatted to the correct FAT (cant remember which now, its in the Wiki), and obviously that the phone can see the card. Then all should work fine!

Hello,
I use a Sandisk 8GB micro SDHC card in my Tattoo. The first problem is that the card is not always recognized. After a reboot it works mostly fine again. The second problem is that i lost sometimes all my data on the card without any reason, it is just gone in a moment, I have already formatted the card in my PC but without any success. It is also not possible to do a format in my Tattoo (not working). Any suggestions how to handle with this? Thanks a lot, Mark
try formating the card i have the same card and it works sharply.. (format twice. )
Oops
I was thinking about buying this card... But now I think I won't risk :\

I've had this problem with my 8gb sandisk card too, but with froyo NFinity - had to format it the first time, and it was fine for a couple of days, then yesterday it came up with "Preparing SD Card", then "SD Card safe to remove" then "SDcard blank or has unsupported filesystem" in the notifications blind. Never had anything other than a FAT partition, and when I try to fomat it (on the phone, in Windows, in Linux) I can't. :/ I think my 4gb card was fine, but a bit scared to check now!

Hi
I have a problem with my new SanDisk 8GB memory. Some times when I am loocking for a file in the memory, it appears as empty. Re booting the phone everything returns to normal, but it is a problem because the alarms that have their sounds in the sd don´t work in this condition.
This did not happened with the 2gb memory that came with the Tattoo.
The memory was formated with the phone but still remains the problem.
Can some one help me?

Thanks for you reply.
The Tattoo is 100% original, buyed unlocked in USA. The microSDHC is a Sandisk 8Gb buyed in USA too.
I was looking for somebody with a similar problem and the way to fix it. Or a good idea to do it.
The original SD 2Gb wooked fine but it is too small.
I don´t know if the trouble is the SD or the phone. The SD may be the guilty

Same thing happens to me as well but only when the card is not mounted (eg when my tattoo is connected to my PC etc).

Hi, The format was made by the tattoo, I don,t remember what type.
Today walking with a temperature about 12°C the sd missing problem was present each 15 minutes (or near).
Restar the Tattoo and all was OK.

One thing more. Last night tired of losing the SD and his music I gave format FAT32 (not quick) to the memory with a PC. Lamentably the problem was continuing I didn´t install data from the Android Market (WIFI Connected).
Then I decided change the SD as the next step.
I charged the battery of the Tattoo during the nigth. Phone was ON with the SD indicating capacity 0. But surprisingly this morning the SD was OK!!.
It seems that something has to see the condition of the battery, I will follow this point.
I have/had the same SDcard. I had the same problems after about one month. A few days later the SDcard was undetectable for my Tattoo and my computer. In the moment my SDcard is on the way back to SanDisk for replacement. The problem with this card is that it is only class 1. I think that could cause this strange behavior.

hi
u know what i also got a sandisc 8gb and it is hanging wen i use a cooked rom with apps2sd but its ok with the stok rom as i want to use cooked rom with apps2sd went back to my 4GB and everything is fine may be this is not built for 8gb i mean models in india which also dont have 3G
any solutions
Hi. Well, 3 days ago I changed the 8GB SanDisk memory to a new 4Gb Kingston memory.
Now all work fine. I don´t know if the problem is general for 8GB SanDisk memories or only the one that I have, but the Tattoo is not guilty!!!!!
