sandisk sd card 2gb and qtek s100

I just bought a 2gb sandisk sd card
it is recognised by the magician but each time it switchs to stand by mode the "memory card" file disappears...So I have to take it out and to insert it again (two times) in order to see it again.
Is it normal ? or there's a problem with this card ?
thanks
:shock:

Good to read, Storage to the people!
Take a look @ the card params too. Somehow a magician communicates better with a fat(16) card than fat32.
Have fun, M

thanks for your comment...
I can only format the sd card with the magician because i don't have a sd card reader for my PC. But with the program I use (FORMAT) I cannot choose FAT 16 or 32 - do you know a soft to do this ?

PHM Pocket Mechanic is very good for this, available on trial

I just received my Sandisk Ultra II 2GB card and it's working fine with my S100 (1.12) and I didn't have to format it when I received it.

However I have just come upon a problem. The card works fine in my S100 and I can copy files to it via ActiveSync. In order to speed things up I just tried putting it in the card reader in my laptop which reported it as unformatted...

Got the Sandisk Ultra 2 2GB for my M500 and it works fine in the phone , my card reader however does not like it either.
However i have sd-cf adapter that i use with my camera , i sloted the sd card in to that and in to the card reader and it works fine at very high speed.
Hope that helps.

Laptop doesn't have CF and I'm reluctant to allow it to format the card in case I suddenly have issues reading it in my S100. :/

hi, i ran a benchmark in my 512mb SD card (unknown brand - missing logo) with pocket mechanic and the results are: Read 5.1X and Write 0.6X. Is it bad?

ok my card reader on my laptop and my S100 must talk a different dialect of SD card because no matter what I do they can't work together.
If I format the card in my S100 and copy files via activesync the laptop reports the card as unformatted.
If I format the card in my laptop and copy files on my pocketpc can't see them.

Size doesn't fit to 2GB Card
Hi I just got my sandisk ultra II 2GB SD Card and at first it worked fine.
Magician recognized it as 2GB then i copied some files from my computer with my SD Card Reader. But after inserting the card into my magician i got some weird looking characters, files, and folders. So I inserted it again in my SD card reader and formatted the card. After that my pc and my magician doesn't recognise the card as 2GB anymore just 1GB .
Any help to solve this problem and to get my 2GB back ?

I too facing the same problem it is detecting as 1 GB instead of 2 GB also the after formatting sd card in card reader made i unformated for ppc and viceversa dam,anybody have a solution for this ?

SD Card not recognised in file explorer

Hi all,
I have searched hi and low for the resolution to my problem. I have owned a Magician (sold as Xda II Mini) for just under a year and have a 1Gb SD card (eagletec turbo 66x speed) which has worked beautifully until two days ago
File explorer does not recognise the SD card. I have tried the SD card in other devices (e.g. PC - using a card reader, digital camera, dvd player, my friend's pda etc...) and it works fine.
I have tried inserting different SD cards into the Magician and they all get recognised ok.
I have tried soft reset and hard reset to no avail.
I have formatted the SD card using a card reader on the PC (tried both FAT and FAT32) and also tried formatting it in my digital camera.
When I insert the card into the Magician (from power off state), the Magician does light up indicating to me that there is no problem with the spring load mechanism of the expansion slot. What is strange is that when I go to Settings->System->About, I get 'Expansion Slot: Not in use'
I also tried (after a suggestion in another post) to add a "shim" of plastic of paper on the contact side of the SD card. No use.
I am reluctant to flash the ROM as I have not had any other problems with the Magician to warrant it.
Any ideas?

Have you tried cleaning the contacts of the SD card? Try soft resetting with the SD card in it.

Hi thanks for replying.
Yes I have cleaned the contacts of the SD card and also tried many soft resets with the card in and also with the card out.

Hello,
Try formatting your card with a different reader or from a Nikia phone.
Regards
Carty..

I have tried formating the card in several card readers. Still not being recognised is file explorer. Again, the card does work in any other device I put it in - just not my mini
Anyhow, I'll just use a different card for now. Just wondered if any other people had the same issue as I do.
Thanks all.

for me the same **** happened with my new, exchanged, mdac. using the sd card with the previous machine was no problem, now the card is not being recognized at all. using it in notebook, camera ... no problem.
any ideas?

i dont want to start another thread but im having the exact same problem with my MDA Compact II. I have a 1gb Toshiba SD card that wont even work in the MDA but it works fine on my camera and PC. So I would like ot know if there is a solution to this
Thanks

Hi all
I am a newbie and am experiencing the same issue, external sd card not showing up in file explorer.
Sniffer can find it and I can play media files from there. Is this the norm or do I need to change something?
I am using C&C 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 8 final.
The 16GB card is seen by all other card readers I have tried.

hey check in your registry settings that drivers for sd card are installed or got deleted by mistake

Thank you indeed for your replay! just a question: how can I see the registry? And what is the sd card key to verify? Thank you again.

hi, i had the same problem..i was using mini SD card with SD adapter and my universal could see it...so i just bought myself a new SD card from sandisk and have no problems now. the sandisk i am using now seems to be slightly thicker the the kingston i had.

thank you cudo, but my sd card is a "normal" size, with no adapter... and I used it with JJ untill 2 days ago, than always "uninstalled" :-(

i am getting the same issue is there any workaround?

Mini SD Card not showing correctly

All,
I have a 2gb Sandisk Mini SD Card in my Qtek 9100 and up until today its been working fine. However my Qtek started to behave strange today and suddenly would connect to my pc via ActiveSynch nor could it read the sd card.
Well in fear of loosing all my stuff on the sd card I tried in other phones, on another pc, in my camera....jsut to save it but I couldnt.
I ended up doing a hard reset of the Qtek since I couldnt solve the ActiveSynch issue and now its up and running.
BUT.....my SD card is only on 1gb now. :-( So what can be done ? Format it....yup but I dont have any program to do it with....
Help help help....the next step is to send the sd card back to the company I bought it from but then I'll have to wait for a new one
Please help
Jakob

Well I have just formattet the storage card with StorageTools and when I have the card in my qtek it shows 1gb
But if I put it in my camera and then connect it to my pc I see 2gb....

i had problems on my card and formated using wm5torage from the desktop...and it is working flawlessly, i suggest to do that...but usually that size problems happen in fake cards...do u filled the card some time or at least passed the 1gb limit?

could micro sd card from orange uk be the source of my audio problems

hey all
I was wondering if the sd card that came from orange uk could be the problem why i keep getting interruptions while playing songs.
I also noticed that when I try to access the sd card on my pc, the sd card is not regonized. I also tried to read the sd card on my mac also it can't recognize it.
Please note that I installed the sd tune up utility, and still the interuptions in songs are there.
Can someone tell me how to fix that problem in detail, and why can't i access the sd card in any computer.
Do you think that if I buy a 8 gb micro sd from san disk would solve a problem
