Hi
Very strange problem!
I recently upgraded to a 2mb minisd as my Trinity currently only has a 512mb card installed.
I copied everything from my current card to a folder on my pc, then copied everything from there to the new card. Both cards have no label and are formatted in FAT.
However, when I put the new minisd card in, all programs installed on the card no longer work as the phone lists the new card as 'storage card2'.
What's worse is that when I put my old card back in, that is now also storage card 2!
I tried a soft reset but it didn't help.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Matt.
Sorted! Restored a recent backup and now it likes the new card!

Hi , all something strange happened to my XDA II SD Memory card!!! , i was installing an application on the SD Card and i went to the SD Card to explore it searching for something while the XDA while installing but i couldn't see all my old files , when i check the memory status i can see that i am using 70MB if the 256MB but i can't locate the files.
can any one help.
I had the same problem with a Sandisk 256mb card.
I've found that it works fine with a Lexar 128mb card though.
So it looks like the XDA2 has problems with SD cards as well as a completely duff bluetooth implementation.

Man thats bad news, have you tried doing a soft reset.
Also if you have a PC card SD reader try running Scandisk on the
card.
BTW as you can see it not a good idea to access your SD card while
programs/files are being installed / written to it.
HTH
Sandisk
ok interesting , i am also using Sandisk 256MB!!!
i tried soft reset and it didn't help.i will try to find a PC reader and see if i can get anything out of it or i might try to use it on my brother XDA 1 because most of the files were used on my old XDA with PPC2002 rom.
Hurray, its not just me then. I have a 128mb dane elec card and 70meg has disapeared. Im not sure if anything was on teh card previously and I dont have a card reader to check. Its most annoying!
Storage Card slot kaput
I bought a brand new generic 2GB SD card and had it working for a day. It just wasn't working anymore one morning I have left my XDA II overnight on the cradle. Now it wont accept any MMC or SD card I put on it. Any idea what could have gone wrong?
When it was still working I tried copying media files on it (in Microsoft knowledgebase they confirmed in order for media files to work in storage cards you have to create My Documents folder did this on the several cards I tested but to no avail)
The storage card I bought was 2 GB, O2 site says XDA II has been tested on 1GB storage cards--could I have burnt my SD card slot?
Maybe the card brand was too generic-- but then I tried other branded SD and MMC cards after the day my slot stopped recognizing and it still didn't recognize Sandisk (512) and Leica cards (64MB)
The SD card in question is still detected if you put it in a card reader then connect it to a PC
Help badly needed, I'm losing so much productivity with very small storage/ROM space

Well, I'm using Kingston 2GB SD card and it works perfect... and it's a high speed card.
You may have your SD slot broken. My slot for example from time to time gets the card disconnected (let's say, every few hours), and I have to pull it off and put back in.
in a sdcard reader undelete tools from pc can recover files from sd cards as they can with harddisk

Hi there,
Recently i had a problem with my jasjar: my sd card (1gb) apperars to be always "uninstalled". I tried to reinsert the memory card, soft reset the device, using another memory card... but the jasjar simply don't "see" the sd card installed.
I have many programs installed on my sd card... and I need space to store files, so please HELP! Anybody knowing something about this annoing problem?
Thank you all!
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?
Hey guys,
I bought a mini sdhc 4gb store card to replace my onde one.
Is possible migrate all the software and data I have on my 1gb storage to this new one without having to hardreset and reinstalll/ uninstall all the programs ?
When I change my SD card, my phone freeezes because of some interaction with the currently 1g SD card but when I boot using Safe mode I see that the 4 gb card is fully functional.
Do you know if is this possible?
Thanks in advance!
i've don it many times

Hi,
I recently bought a 4GB SDHC card for my Hermes (Josh's V15 WinterRom Light). Everything seemed to work just fine, but after a couple of hours data on the card started to randomly disappear. File explorer shows empty directories. When I insert the card into PC with Linux I can read the data, but the system reports corruption and all the files are read-only.
I tried lowering TransferBlockSize in the registry but this only delayed the data loss. Is there anything else I can do or is this card faulty?
bump!
bump!
anyone?
Could be the card, especially if you had another sd card and didn't have this problem. I'd do a backup on PC, format sd card FAT32 again an then restore the info. If it still seems to leach the data away then I'd get the sd card replaced with a new sd card.
Cheers...
Also use a can of compressed air to clean out the sd card slot on your Hermes, may help, may not but it will eliminate a suspect that the sd card reader needs to be cleaned.
I did format the card several times with FAT32. It was only a matter of time for data loss to appear.
Hermes worked fine with 1GB SD card. I did not have any problems using the 4GB SDHC in my laptop but then again maybe it wasn't used frequently enough.
Hello everybody, I'm new here and I'm having a strange problem with my Hermes.
Sometime ago I downloaded the slide2unlock cab and installed it. Then I removed it for some reason. Last week I inserted my sd in the computer and it asked me to format the card. There was no way to get into the sd and I lost all my data.
Now, after having formatted my sd, the device is continually hanging and when I put it in standby it always turns on automatically. Most of the times it also doesn't recognize the sd card and I have to reboot.
Can anyone help me, please?
Did you reformat the sd card FAT32? Its the preferred format but they seem to come formatted FAT by default.
Check to see if the sd card is still being detected by the PC, if it isn't then its time to get a new sd card.
Had you installed any apps on the sd card that might be causing problems.
Not from the sd card but I have had apps that, though I'd installed to the sd card, had installed the exe file onto my Hermes and a heap of data files onto the card.
Otherwise, might be time for a Hard reset...
Tanks for the fast answer. The sd card is formatted to FAT (not FAT32) and now is working in the computer.
Regarding programs installed in the sd, the problem could be exactly the slide2unlock, but I've removed it sometimes ago.
Only other thing to do wopuld be to do a hard reset. !st backup up your contacts to the sd card with spb backup(has a demo of 5 backup/re-installs). Needs to registered but you can at least backup contacts and messages then re-install after HR.
Hard reset should fix all your problems.
Cheers...
