Hi, I have been using the O2 Atom to listen to MP3s on mini SD card, but sometimes the song just choke for a second or so, is it memory card problem? Also I note that using the mobile file explorer to copy files to the card takes very long, even a 3Mbyte MP3 file takes more than 10 seconds. But I installed Total Commander and copy to the mini SD card is much faster. I have been using the Toshiba 1G mini SD card.
Must read the posts.
Your card is of slower type as different speeds cards are available in the market. I had the same problem. Go to the vendor from where u got the card and check differnet company cards with him. The best would be that u transfer a file of atleast 10 MB from your PDA to card and vice-versa. You will automatically see the difference of speeds.
Thanks tjkhattak61. I finally bought a 2G Sandisk Utra II mini SD to fit into the O2 Atom, and all problem gone. I can even copy files to/from card while playing MP3 without problem. There must be some compatibility issue with Toshiba card.

hi,
i've an HTC TSM500 (spanish version of HTC). I'm very frustated about the memory card.
i've a sd card (256mb). In my checks i try to zip a 5mb .mp3 (using resco) and it takes about 40seg.
how long time takes yours?
Check the type and speed of the card as this can drastically effect performance. My friend had a SD card in his camera and let me read the pictures in my TMobile. I found the card painfully slow and then found that he hadn't prepared the card in his camera properly. While this didn't effect me seeing his data on the card, It did on his base machine. After correcting the problem the card was faster and everybody was happy.
When I purchased my SD card, I made sure I chose a fast one. makes all the difference. Also keep in mind that the software does conversion so 40 secs is not bad. It takes almost 3 min to convert a music vid onto my CLIE
when it comes to sd cards i'm more into compatility then speed
because not working with a device result in a infinite slow speed
my sd card is SANDISK (256mg).
yesterday i did some checks with this card ad my 64mb panasonic card:
zipping a .mp3 of 5mb:
sandisk: 1m10seg
panasonic: 15seg
awesome!
Sorry.....I understand everything but the jerk part...If thats a joke fine...but your never a jerk. ... FYI
it is a joke
guess at one time in ours lives we have all acted as jerk from time to
time
but it's a Signature it's on all my posts so it's not related to this thread specialy
I should have known about the joke...Thats what happens when you try to work with out your glasses. You were extremely helpfull by the way...
I thought I had looked everywhere. Thank you again...
Solution: SD card can't be recognized by XDA2
I bought a brand new SD card. It cannot be detected by the XDA2 explorere. I nearly sold it but when i tried with my iPAq 3970, haleluya....to HP...the SD card was detected by explorer...then inserted it again to the XDA2..just in case it is just a virgin .....and...amennnnn....it is now recognize by XDA2. Other owners of XDA2 in other forums tried this and it works 100%. the only problem is looking for a friend who has iPaq pocket pc. iPaq should have pda-phone too.
OK, I'm stupid and off-topic, but why would you zip an .mp3 file? Aren't mp3s compressed about as much as they can be?
Does it?
Thanx
Igb Card Support
Yes I am using a San Disk Igig card for GPS Maps with no problem.
great ! thanx......
...and I use one for movies!
1 gb
i use it for my MP3s and movies as well.
what about high-speed x60 1G SD card ?
faster then normal speed ?
i'm using 1gig 60x pqi sd card. oftentimes it works. problems encountered: xda2 can't detect the sd card. never done the 3x format yet.
you won't see much in terms of speed in PPC. all these fast speed SD is meant for digital camera & video actually.
I have a 1Gig card by 'Integral' that claims to be high speed. I was having some problems running gps mapping etc from it, though for mp3's and videos it was fine.
I have now bought a 512 SanDisk Ultra 2 card and Tom Tom is much better with this card. Using a multiple file read/write test to copy from the card to itself, the new Sandisk card is significantly quicker, and Tom Tom runs/opens much better than it did with the 1Gig card. So higher speed cards do show an improvement, though not as much as when they are in a device that can take full advantage of the card, like a PC card reader for instance.
I have a x66 PQI 1Gb SD card that I run TomTom3, MP3's and store presentations on. I have had no problems with this card at all. The higher speed of the card does make difference and improves the performance to both the applications and the speed at which data is copied to the card (not using hotsync).
Ive found that some really cheap SD cards have loads of problems.
I bought a cheap card and it was terrible, kept not working, corrupting files etc. I swapped for a 1gig Sandisk, all is well, no problems at all.
I found that the 32meg NOKIA cards given with most new nokia phones a year or so ago dont work. They are totally unreliable.
You get what you pay for, the faster cards are normally more expensive, and ive noticed the difference when copying big files from ram to card.
Get the better cards, its worth it in the long run.
Hi,
I have a problem in recognizing my Transcend 2 GB SD-Card.
During operation the MDA Pro "looses" my storage card. I do not need to move the MDA. It also happens when it is on the table.
When I eject the card and put it in again it is recognized again.
Do you have a suggestion what this can be?
Mike
****, I just ordered the same card two days ago. Should arrive today or tomorrow. I let you know what happens.
Unless your card is faulty, try reformatting the card (I know you don't usually have to do this staight out of the box). I have had this problem before, but on the i-mate jam and it would read the card in my PC, but not my LapTop, which has a dedicated SD slot. Go figure. Tried formatting to FAT and FAT32, but I think it doesn't make too much of a difference. For me it came down to the type of SD card being used!
My 1GB Scandisk card works flawlessly and quickly wherever I put it, but my 2GB Scandisk SD Ultra II only works in my PC and transfer rate seems noticeably slower. :?
I already formatted the SD-Card. I also tried Low Level Format with
Pocket Mechanic.
I haven´t found failures with a r/w test. On the PC there are no problems.
Mike
Send it back! :evil:
Send it back! :evil:
Having 2GB MMC works fine with me... Thank God.. was worried
I have the same problem with the Transcend 2GB card. When syncing Avantgo to the card I get a "write teimeout" error. The card is still there when I look at it with the explorer.
2GB SD card
I have no problems with a 2GB Sandisk SD card.
I bought an Integral 2GB High Speed SD card. Initially, my JASJAR refused to recognise the card as anything more than 128 MB. I tried formatting it with Pocket Mechanic (Low level and normal format) - still 128MB. My notebook (with a built-in SD card reader) also saw it a 128 MB. My EPSON card reader did not recognise it at all.
After finding a post on a forum through Google, I found out that the iMate JAM apparently creates a new partition on the 2GB card, and that it was a known problem (for the JAM).
Using Partition Magic, we saw that it in fact created three partitions (128 MB, 1GB and the remainder, but we could not format or use the other).
My husband got the brilliant idea to put the card in my Nikon CoolPix, which told us that the card was not formatted. He told the camera to format it, which worked -- I can now use the card as 2GB in both my JASJAR and my laptop.
I hope this helps somebody ...

Which type?
THX!
Got no probs on my scandisc ultraII card on jasjar either, but my laptop won't recognise it! :?
Good thing I have a PC too! :lol:
No problems with my UltraII card either...
I always format my cards with my PC or Laptop before using them, and it's always been fine in PPC, PC, and Laptop.
Well, I just received a 4 GB SD card by Sandisk. I had some problems getting my computers to recognize the card until I found the right memory card reader. After formatting the card, I was able to see it in every computer, including my Imate Jam. I believe it would work in the Jam; however the problem is that every time I transferred a large amount of files, such as music, video, jpegs, etc. I get an error message everytime. Something about a hardware or I/O error. All the computers get hung up on this card and eventually "My Computer" does not respond. Thankfully, the retailer gave me a full refund and I will send it back to him. I really wish these 4 GB cards were more compatible with our memory card readers. My 2 GB SD card from Sandisk works like a charm in all my computers and readers, so I know it must be the 4 GB card.
have you patched you magician like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=197544&highlight=#197544
if so that's the card problem,try to change another one
I'd suggest insatlling Pocket Mechanic... it has a very advanced formatting utility..
You can choose the FAT system ( 12 - 16 - 32 ) and cluster size ( range between 1 - 512 ) , also you can choose the typical card usage ( for insatnce vidio and multi media, or larg file.. etc. )
and BTW, Happy New Year :wink:
I spoke with the retailer I purchased the card from. It seems that he is able to transfer files without problem using another card he has. The difference is that he is using a Sandisk card reader. I have not tried that since I don't have one. I plan on purchasing a Sandisk reader and letting you know the results. It may just be the card.
I bought a Sandisk Mobile Card Reader which supports USB 2.0. When I inserted the 4 GB SD and tried to format, both my laptop and desktop could not complete the format. I am sending it back to the retailer and he is sending me one that supposedly works. I can't figure out why this card isn't even working with normal card readers and even a Sandisk reader? Both my computer and laptop are relatively new (less than 6 months old) and both have Windows XP.
Thought I'd post this FYI.
A couple of weeks ago my SD card (Sandisk Ultra II 2GB) disappeared. Just vanished from the device - no prompts to format - just like it wasn't there.
Just looked at it in a card reader and it's OK but these directories have been corrupted (presumably bu Trinity):
raster
resource
system
I don't know what created these directories or whether they relate to an app but the have been corrupted. The raster directory is showing a size of 274GB under windows for example.
Reformatted card under windows & all is well again.

i also have a 2gb mini sd for said device (the spvm700 on orange uk) and apparently after a call to orange the device can only support a maximum of 1gb memory card!
That sucks - damned if I'm going out to buy another mini SD card to add to a collection that starts with Compact Flash and runs through everything in between to Micro SD (including a short and tarnished flurtation with Memory Stick). I mean what CAN you do with a 32MB Smart Media card these days (what could you ever?).
Going to stick with this 2GB & if it comes down to it reformat and copy back the contents again. Isn't too painful but wish the 1GB limit was mentioned on the tin (along with the self destructing paint job for that matter).
Still a great device & at least there is no fluff under the screen
Had the same problem my 2 GB transcend card shows a directory garbage - format it in the cardreader and after that it shows only 1 GB, got 2 GB back with the panasonic formatter, all pc tools and ppc format tools stuck
http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.html
I dont think there is a 1GIG limit.
I have a 2GIG card and it works fine. The only problem I do have is when I take out the card to directly transfer files to my main computer.
When I re-insert the card into my phone it disappears. The only thing that seems to work is to reset the phone.
I now never touch my SD card, if I ever wish to transfer stuff then I'll always use the usb sync cable (or could use bluetooth but this is much slower).
