Hey guys,
I just bought a used Qtek S200. Everything was working fine for a good month or so. Just recently I noticed that my SD card does not show up. Has anyone had this problem? I have never dropped the phone or anything, this seems to just have happened out of the blue. I've tried a few different cards and none show up.
I am using Windows Mobile 6.
This happened to me yesterday! I've got the Orange M600 version of this phone, running WM5, with a 2gig card as well. All was working fine, I then tried to access a program stored on the card and it went tits up. No matter what I do I can't get it to work.
Someone help us, please!!
There's another older thread, same topic, but no solution

That would be my thread.... My still doesn't work either... I'm just gonna ride it out until Orange offer me a new phone.
My 2GB Sandisk Card didn't show up some days ago. After a softreset, it continued working. Just try it

originally ordered the Sandisk card, but as they were out of stock i recieved a Inov8 one.
but it doesnt seem to work at all. ive tried formatting it on my laptop, but my mda still doesnt see it.
anyone elses experienced this???
My 8125 basically erased all my files on my minisd card leaving only the ie and email inbox intact. It wiped out my spbbackup I had on there so I am totally screwed I guess ... nothing to do but rebuild the POS.
Yep, I've lost 2 Sandisk 1GB cards.
So I tried another card - the cheapest piece of crap 1GB I could find... and hello no more problems after three weeks of use!
I haven't got a Wizard of any variant but this 'wipeout' did happen to me recently on my MDA Compact (JAM).
I had a 2GB miniSD in there- was working fine for about 2 months and one I day I noticed that I couldnt run any applications stored on the card. Checked the card contents and everything had wiped (including my backup) except a few files.
Still not sure exactly what caused it- the only thing i remember doing was updating the 'PocketRSS' database (which coincendently was one of the files remaining after the wipe).
Still using the same card now and its working fine
Been using a Topram 1GB off of ebay and *knock on wood* had no issue whatsoever with it so far.
So is this a problem with Wizard or SanDisk? My SanDisk has been in the Wizard since February without any problems (knock on wood as well).
I do have a list of all the software and tweaks I follow to reinstall since I've done it a couple times for ROM upgrades. Reminds me of Windows 95...
I've got the Patriot 1G...got it at Fry's for like $60. One week and counting...

The reason why this happens is simple....
The device was accessing that card and for some reason either you pulled it out or it thinks the card was pulled out. In doing so it "blanks" out the SD card. So long as you don't format the sucker you can recover majority (if not all of your data). There's a few free ones and a few pay ones....
Free:
File Reovery
Smart Reovery - Does Pictures Only
Pay:
F-Recover - Does Pictures Only
RescuePRO
Yes, some of these recovery programs work quite well; I remember using one to recover a friends CF card contents- recovered the majority of data.
I was lucky enough to have my entire 2GB card contents on my PC (transferring from SD to miniSD), so I didn't bother investigating the problem.
I have a Qtek 9100 running the latest ROM and radio, etc on the Cingular network. The other day I get no signal, and reboot do not fix the problem. I take the sim card, and put it in a different phone. The other phone gets a signal, but says I can make emergency calls only. After about an hour on the phone with a Cingular rep I agree to drive to the store and get a replacement card. The replacement card fixed the problem. 4 days later, I am back to the same problem. The cingular rep is now blaming the phone after they can't figure out whats wrong. He is telling me the phone is "Zapping" the sim card. I find this hard to believe, but has anyone had this problem before? Has anyone ever tried to do an RMA with Qtek? Any help would be great, as i'm ready to put this 9100 on ebay and be done with it, unless an RMA with Qtek is worth it.
Happened to me last week with my 9100 (still running the original ROM). Got a new SIM and it's been running fine since.
i've had my 9100 rom on my 8125 for acout 2 weeks now without any major problems. the only problem I have is that it switches back and forth from gprs to edge a lot, but it doesn't bother me.
have you tried to reflash back to the cingular rom? it couldn't hurt.
I actually am running the Cingular ROM. I already replaced the SIM card 4 days ago, and it worked for about 4 days until it broke again. It doesnt make much sense, because something has to be corrupting the SIM card. When I ran *#*#364#*#* GSM utility, it would give me no data at all. Obviously the SIM card is dead (But still reads contacts on the SIM), and reauthorizing it does nothing to restore it. I will get a replacement today and verify the SIM continues to work in a different handset before I put it back in the 9100. Also I plan to factory default, and upgrade to latest ROMS etc before I try it again just in case. If anyone has any other ideas, let me know. Thanks.

Aqueous, very much the same problem here. I got my Qtek9100 yesterday and I am connecting to Cingular. When I switch on the phone it takes forever to latch to network. The
Y.
Y..
Y... keeps happening for ever and ever. But once, it latches it stays on to it firmly. If I put the sim in my old phone Nokia3230, it just connects to cingular with a snap as soon as the phone is switched on. When I tap on the " Y " region it shows "searching...". I also tried doing a manual/automatic network detection in settings. During the time the "Y. Y.. Y..." keeps going, the manual detection of networks doesnt show a single network in the list. I dont know what could the problem be, since the sim just works perfect in old phone.
By the way, what does

Hi there guys Was wondering if any one can point me in the direction of how to set up my wifi card i bought two days ago, I just called TDMS - T-mobile and spoke to there well trained staff who said they dont have a clue what im on about, My MDA can search for spots no probs and pick them up, But for some reason i just cant connect at all, Do i need to assign for example a specific IP address or Even a certain domain?!?! I know there was a thread in regards to this, But ive looked and it takes me to no further than what im at just now, Any help would be much apppreciated.
Joseph.
Ok since i have posted my last "Q", I have tried my MDA without a sim card in, So my web and walk CANT start, tried using the wifi, But it seems that the MDA is still looking for the GPRS to connect over wifi first, Any solutions around this?! Help would be great
Joseph.

Ok thanks for that.
my wifi sd card also can`t work with wm6!
I have a i-tec SDIO Wlan and it is working better under clean wm6. Having some problems under original ROM. I mentioned the same thing - Charmer tried to connect over GPRS first. Under the clen new ROM with wm6 - there are no pre-deffined connections - wlan works much better. Maybe you needo to install some WM5 drivers to get it work.
I'm using the SpecTec SDW-820 (11 MBit) with my Charmer (T-Mobile Germany, WM5/AKU3.3) and it works quite good. However, from time to time it seems like Windows does not recognize the card. If I insert the card, just nothing happens at all. After a soft-reset, everything is fine again. Strange issue, since it's working most of the time without any trouble.

hi, does anyone know of a wifi card that works with the charmer running wm6?
gettin real bored of websites sayin they dont have one for wm6! cheers.
Hello I have had a look at the wiki and still could not find the answer to my problem, so I decided to post.
I seem to be having trouble with my new Memory card for my TyTn. I just bought a 4gb microSDHC from the shop. I put a single song on it and put it in my phone. When I checked the memory it says this:
“Total storage card memory: Not installed”
Does this mean there is something wrong with the card or do I need to install something.
Cheers
Are you running a wm6 rom? high capacity sd is not supported on a stock tytn. Check the Windows Mobile 6 forum and look for a cooked rom that supports SDHC. I recommend the schaps 3.60a cooked rom. Been runnin it for a couple weeks now and im pleased with the speed/stability.
Thanks for your response Surrept, I have installed the schaps 3.60a-0823_full and the phone looks great now…but I still have the same problem with the memory, any other suggestions?
Umm, should I take the memory card back to the shop, and if so what is the best one that will work with my phone?
Can anyone help please

Last thing to try:
Reformat the card using the PC Fat 16 or 32
Check size shown on PC is correct.
Try again on your Hermes.
If it does not show up, reset with the card in place.
Try again.
If it fails again - do a hard reset with the card in place.
If all that fails, then return to the shop. There is no more you can do. Since the card is not faulty, you will be a bit at their mercy. It will be a gamble to get another 4gb card, a 2 may be safer. However if it's the contacts in the phone then no card will work correctly.

Thanks!
My friend had a look at the phone and said he had no idea what to do, he handed it back and the card just started working! Wow! Is it great how that works some times.
