Anyone experiencing problems with SD Card on the prophet?
On mine, WMP10 thinks I'm inserting a new SD card almost everytime I switch on from standby. It comes up with the usual message "A new card has been inserted ..." and then it searches for the media on the card.
Yep, unfortunately...
Similar to this...
I think we need a ROM update on this. Alternative is to use a different music player, that seems to solve the problem.
I haven't experienced that issue, but occasionally the device sees the card as corrupted. A soft reset will take care of that. I'm only had it happen twice and it could have been related to some software incompatibilities as well.
I do facing the same problem here sometimes
I do facing the same problem here sometimes, i think is just the same problem as SD card occasionally cannot be detected.. which i'm so sick of it..
HOPE THE NEW ROM REALEASE WOULD HELP!
Simple solution, don't use the crappy Windows Media Player.
Try Mortplayer for Mp3s and TCPMP for videos.
Hello everyone, I have problems too with the SD card recognition plus with the COM Manager:
Overnight (or when not using the Jamin for a couple of hours) the SD card would no longer be recognised, only a soft reset helps. Also the Wifi does not work and I cannot switch it on from the Com Manager. This issue happens regularly.
What I noticed is that when the SD card is removed, the "About" in the System Tab says that the SD is in use, although it is not there!!
This is annoying and strange. Does anyone know why this happens and how it could possible be fixed?
Thanks!
Please check this post.

This seems to be fixed for me by just not installing the extended rom. There is still something quirky where my the shortcuts to my progs won't show up on the start menu correctly. But, no big deal as I use ilauncher anyway. They show up fine there and I have no sd card detection problems. Hope that helps
I keep losing my storage card. It seems to happen when the phone goes to sleep.
When I wake my phone up - quite often it's lost the Storage card and the only way to "see" the storage card is to reboot the phone. Is there a known fix for this?
for me just removing SD card and putting it back in the slot works to revive it. You may also need to refresh file explorer by going to other folder and back.

Similar is happening to me - if I turn on the phone, some apps are closing down if they were loaded from SD, and WMP is losing what it knows about my current tracks from SD, I don't need a reboot though, just a reload.

I understand this to be normal behaviour for either wm5 or the universal, in that the storage card dismounts when the power is off. It also means if any apps are loaded on a storage card and are open when the power turns off, then they will be forced closed and maybe changes will be lost.

This is highly undesirable behavior, and I cant think this is by design. Losing my playlist everytime I suspend is bullocks, as is having to install everything to main storage because I dont want my software closing when I suspend.
There is a registry edit floating around somewhere which is supposed to delay the dismount of the storage card, but this has not solved the problem for me. MS or some-one needs to fix this ASAP.
Anyone else have a solution?

That doesn't work for me. It has to be a reboot - although I must admit I haven't tried taking the card out and re-inserting it yet - I'll try that next.

There is another thread here with some reg settings in it but the author says it doesn't work.
This is a PITA.
I had the same problem using a 1Gb card, sorry, I cant remember which one. I swapped to a Kingston ultimate 2Gb card and it now works perfectly. All my extra applications like Tomtom, pocketmusic and all the music files are loaded onto it and work perfectly.
Well I haven't changed my SD card and I have the same problem. It used to work fine, I could use mp3's from my SD for incomming calls. Then my MDA went dead and I got it replaced. I installed the newest qtek rom and now I have the same problem.
It's very annoying because when you are called the 'default' ringtone plays again because it 'cant find' the mp3 file you selected from the SD.

Could it maybe be rom related?
I have the qtek (aku2) rom and I have the problem. Can't recall if I had the problem with my original Tmobile NL one

Think we need to clarify the issue as two problems were mentioned.
1. Is that the storage card is unmounted during power off - for this i dont think anything can be resolved.
2. The issue of the card not re-mounting when power on or crashing apps etc.

Option 2 - when you turn the power back on - the card is not there. A typical example is when playing something in Media Player and then the phone rings and you take the call - if you talk too long the phone goes to sleep - so when you hang up you have to turn the phone back on. media Player starts to play and when the buffer is emtpy it can no longer find the track because the storage card no longer exists.
Option 2
Mine does not allways not re-enable, sometimes it just works. Other times, it is in standby and I get a call, it tries to play the mp3 from my sd, but offcourse that's not there (because it just woke up) and then it plays the default windows ringtone. I have to manually change it again
PITA
I'm also having problems with my SD card disappearing but I think my problems are due to the card itself. I recently got an Adata 4GB to replace a SanDisk 2GB and a SanDisk 512MB.
I never ever had any problems with the SanDisk cards. So I believe either its a compatability problem with the Adata card due to make or the size or I simply have a dud card.
Others in this forum have reported using Adata cards without any problems, so maybe it's just my bad luck.
I sold my old SanDisk cards on ebay, so can't compare them to see if it is an Exec problem but I think I'll be back on ebay to get another SanDisk card.

I never had both problems on my Exec nor SD Card. I am using a 2 GB San Disk Ultra Card (Black). It does not matter if I took the card OFF or just shut down my Universal, the contents always shows up. No delays either. TCPMP and GS Player remember what I was playing. I never tried the built-in WMPlayer.

In that case can you confirm:
What FAT file system you used when formatting your card (and chunk size) and whether you have done any registry tweaks.
Thanks

I'm having a new issue, which is more of a nag than a real problem. I recently picked up one of the new 2GB micro-SD cards from Verizon. When the card is installed, I experience a 1-2 second delay from the time I hit the power button to the time the screen comes on. With the card removed there is no delay.
Is this a problem with the TyTN's memory management system? I'm not running any programs off the card. I kept a large mini-SD card in my K-jam at all times with no such slowdowns on power-up.
Thanks
I'm running a 2GB Sandisk MicroSD in my v1605 and I've not had any issues like this. It's as fast as my 1gigger.
Is it as fast as when you have no card in the system? I'm only talking about power-up from standby. Thanks
I press the button, it comes on. No lag at all.
do you have any today plugins that are checking the size of the card?
I have SPB PocketPlus which shows the status of the card. I have tried removing that feature, but I can't be sure it's still not polling the card. Do you think this is the culprit? I hope not, as I really like this software.
People beware!!!
This failure X2 corrupts memory cards!
Completely corrputs the content!
Sooner or later you’ll also encounter this –
confirmed by many other users!
So if you still decide to use this unreliable piece of failure,
be sure to make backups!!!!

Indeed,
I lost 7Gb aprox of very valuable stuff, like source code, documentation, photos, charts, music, software, video, backups, and so on..
I think i may found the pattern (kind of) because after the first corrupted memory it happend to me seeeeeveral times...
Its like if i start an app (lets say a game) that uses a lot of resources, the game is laggy and somehow it closes OR you use another app on the same time that is installed on the SD, like they crash by sharing some kind of resource... im not quite sure but at least two times after "playing" (i quote it because its mega laggy) i saw my Program Files folder EMPTY...
At least this time it doesnt f*** the whole card..
i wonder why OP hasnt posted a single good thing bout x2
i owe it and im quite satisfied with it it hass some things that need to be fixed but otherwise i like it
the only problem i have with it is that loses the sd card sometimes but as i read its the card problem (default one that came with it) its class2 (cheap $#"$#!%%&Z&#&"%%""% provider)
indycar: You are terrible wrong! The card problem issue is the X2 problem NOT card! I try a lot of cards (differents manufacturer, size, class). The point is, that X2 automatically turn off card when you stand by device and it turn on when you wake up X2 again. I´m thinking, that this should be a "feature" to increase power managing capabilities...

Well I wrote many good things about it before.
With a decent firmware it'a decent device and the best choice!!!!!!
But current firmware is a massacre confirmed by all users so no reason for good words....
The memory card problem is completely independent from the card, happened to me with both cards!!!
Another victim of memory card corruption. the whole content of the memory card just dissappear like*poof*. and the symtoms looks the same. system became incredably laggy all of the sudden. reboot the device and "watch your past disappear" (adapted from STFirst Contact when Borg Queen says "Watch your future ends")...
Ben
the weird thing about my card is that only SOME things disappeared, i had several folders on my card little by little they disappeared but the files that werent in folders stayed and never got deleted, thought the card itself did not gain/lose any memory.
my card is fine .. nothing happened
You corrupted people should try some file recovery software to recover your card content. There are plenty of free recovery programs on the internet. You'd have to stick your card into your computer and run the software on the disk. Report back if you get it to work because if could help others.

Most of my content was backed up so I will not hassle with this.
However I would love to know how to eventually format the card to
to not to slow it down...
This whole X2 case reminds me of N97 when it was introduced. Truly 'spooky' phone
My card is also from today one of those who messes up. My files does not get deleted but when browsing the card from the phone it sometimes contains perhaps two out of the folders, sometimes the files is there (i guess) but folder and file names seams renamed. A look at the card on my computer shows every file/folder/file name intact.
Guys,
You who had the SD-card corrupted, did you install any applications on it that you use frequently?

As you might have read, my card only looked corrupted in the phone file explorer but yes, I installed every application on the card. Most used is S2P and Pocket player and of course all my music used by the apps mentioned.
If running S2P listening to music,the app suddenly halts. I then shuts S2P down and starts file explorer to see what happened the card looks partially deleted or all folder and file names corrupted (mounting the card on PC shows no errors at all).
In the beginning I had Outlook save incoming mail on card but as the card disconnects outlook creates a folder, Storage Card in root of phone. That creates a problem when the phone mounts the card again since it gets named Storage Card2 instead. That messes up all short cuts created by me or phone to the applications installed at the card.
I use card pre packed with phone and I see no reason to try another since others here reports no difference when replacing card.

The moment my card got corrputed
I quit using X2 completely.
I've seen no sense in further struggling and
I also have no time for that.
Why the question?
MR2 also screws it?!
TLDR: Don't install programs or attachments on your storage card.
I am now 100% certain that power management is behind the disappearing storage card issue, and is a culprit in a number of other bugs. It looks like when you put the device into standby, it switches off power to a number of components.
It's easy to see what happens with the storage card if you use SPB Mobile Shell. There's a handy shortcut under Tools - Browse Files - Storage Card. If you put that shortcut on your home screen and come out of standby, you'll usually see the icon return to the default unassigned shortcut. After anywhere between a fraction of and many seconds, the SD card icon will reappear.
Seems like some genius engineer at Foxconn, not knowing much about WinMo or stuff in general thought he was being very clever by saving what, 10mA? in shutting it off. Think of all those extra minutes of standby time saved.
I too suffered from a corrupted FAT, but thankfully all I really lost was MP3s I already had elsewhere. Since I figured out what's going on, I've had no trouble whatsoever. It does of course mean that I've had to make yet more compromises in the functionality of the device. The key is to make sure not to install programs on the storage card, or if you must, make sure the phone doesn't go into standby while running them. Also, don't choose to store email and MMS attachments on the card, or you'll get the Storage Card2 problem.
Stupid power management also explains these other things that have been bothering me, and many of you:
Notification sounds and lights not working properly.
Sporadic checking of email.
Custom ringtones disappearing (Hint: put them on main memory).
The phone randomly freezing when trying to work with Bluetooth car kits.
Presumably Sony engineers are aware of this, because if they aren't, God help us. I'm guessing that power management is such a low level issue that it's very difficult to fix with firmware if at all. That being the case, I'm not confident this phone will ever work properly and has most likely sounded the death knell for me for both Sony Ericsson and WinMo.
@bedlam_au
You may be right about power management.
That may be the answer.
Before my card corruption when I was entering SlideView
I always saw it REFRESHING media content,
like looking for it again and again....
have you tried it?
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend]
"shc1:"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Resuming]
"shc1:"=dword:00000000
We have been testing it with my friend for a while (since 24th of april) and he hasn't got any storage card problems after applying this *.reg. He had them every time before that.
@ultrashot: I think you've done it! Changed those keys and didn't even need to soft reset. I've been checking all day and haven't seen the storage card disappear once. Presumably it's going to stay that way.
Does someone feel like making up a cab for this? It'd make many people's day.
bedlam_au,
Hi,
My HD2 is very frequently locked up after turning the screen on. I see the unlock button, but it doesn't unlock... Mostly after a minute or the device becomes responsive again. Also running Android from the SD card very slow (not usable). I found out that when I remove the SD card, it problem is gone. I bought a new SD card (32Gb samsung), but it has still the same problem. I have also installed a different ROM (Windows Mobile 6.5), still the same. The SD card can be accessed, music and navigation works also from SD.
Does anyone know what can be wrong?
Nobody has experienced this problem?
I found out that it is manilla.exe that's locking the system. It runs at 99% of CPU resource. But now to find out why. I'm afraid it's a hardware related problem, because Android from SD is also very slow.
