SD card "disappears" - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development

Hello,
I have a Blue Angel (O2 Xda IIs). The problem is that sometimes the device doesn't see my SD card even though it is inserted. I thought that maybe it's a hardware error (lose conector or card doesn't perfectly holds in place) so i left it on the table and turn on Audio manager to play music, also I had palringo messenger running using GPRS connection, and after approx. 10min the device stopped playing, the Audio manager was showing an error that songs asociated to this playlist don't exist. When i opened my fileExplorer (GSFinder) the Storage Card was missing. After ejecting and inserting the card for a few times the device found it. Then I checked palringo and I had received one message, approx at the time when the device stopped playing. I tried different cards, different campacities and i get the same result: when using GPRS the card just "disappears", well at least more often then when not using GPRS.
Then another time when the card "disappeared" i didn't touch the card, just soft reset it, and the card was back.
Well, i believe that the card driver is the problem, because if it was a hardware problem the soft reset wouldn't brought back the card.
Stats:
ROM WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.20226 (Build 20226.1.3.0 PV DVH)
Radio rom 1.13.xx (don't remember last digits)
I don't want to change the rom, because this one is very good, it has everything i need, i don't like "clean" roms, because they're too clean for me. If someone can sugest a simillar rom to this one i will gladly try.
Sorry for my english

I've got the same problem too, every time I connect to the net using GPRS my SD card disappears, if anyone knows the remedy to this, please help us out.

U should try the radio rom 1.15.

GPRS conflicts with SD slot :(

My o2 xda2 cannot play music from SD card while browsing Internet.
Actually not only playing music but also operating a file within SD card, SD card cannot be recognized as soon as GPRS signal changed (even just show that G icon after turning off flight mode). I have to pull out and push in SD card again to make device work with that SD card.
If I just browsing webpages without touching any file within SD card, that would be fine. After disconnecting GPRS, files in SD card are still there.
I am using 1G KingMax and 128M VK SD card. I have seen this problem on another two XDA2 but there is one doesn't have this issue by using same SD card.
I went to O2 shop on Oxford street that lady said that "phone" did not support playing music while using internet ... then she believed that was a software problem. I hoped their repair centre had professional guys could understand so I wrote down how to reproduce the problem.
After 1 week when I received my XDA2, it came with a letter "Fixed by upgrade firmware". Of course problem is still here, I tried many official and unofficial ROM before I went to o2 repair centre.
Now its warranty is expired and I don't expect O2 can solve it.
Anybody saw same problem and any suggestion?

problem with apps installed on storage cards

ive had my cingular 8125 for a few month and a couple of months ago i bought a 2gb minisd card and for some reason when i install some apps to the storage card and try to run them i get this error message "the file "whatever the apps name is" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannont be found. you might need to reinstall or restore this file
after i reintsall the app the same problem happens and sometimes i cant play mp3s from the card because they get corrupted is this a problem with the device or the card?
I'd install PocketMechanic and see what it's gotta say about your card. Did you format it with the phone before the first usage?
It could be your phone, but more likely it is the card. Like voyager said, you should check it using a tool like pocket mechanic.
Have you had similar results with other cards in your phone ? Then it could be the phone...

I believe I'm having the identical problem. not only that but also the screen alignment problem as well.
at first I was sure it was the minisd cards fault since it wasn't bieng recognized in my computer either. but after buying a second card, soon I hated my wizard. music used to skip, progs wouldn't install properly, just like you mentioned.
my wizard is supposed to be my mp3 player as well so I dunno what the hell to do with it now. now I wish I had bought it from tmobile directly, instead I got it from some smuck off ebay. dammit!
Try putting other manufacturer's ROM. Ie. O2's v2.21. I have no problems with it. Had i-Mate's v2.16 before, which also worked fine.
ok i checked the card out with pocket mechanic seems to have some problems with it that and it was formated in fat 16
ao i decided to start from scatch reformated the card and everything seemed to go well until i soft reset my device.. then the old problem came back every app on the storage card stoped working and even some mp3s were then seen as being corrupt and wmp wouldnt play some of the mp3 then i soft reset the device again and like magic most of the apps that stoped working started working again and the mp3s that were seen as corrupt were actually deleted off the car im thinking its prob some bad sectors on the card or maybe the os is eating the SD card i guess theres only way to find out...

Phone won't hang up and...

Hello all, can I ask for suggestions on a couple of problems that I am experiencing with the universal? (On latest T-mob rom)
1. the phone crashes whenever I try to hang up at the end of a call (are T-mobile just cunningly trying to make me use up my minutes?!!)
2. every 10 minutes or so I get a notification that the SD card contains images and "what do I want to do about it"! I never remove the card, have always stored images in the root directory of the SD card, and this has never happened before so I don't know why it's been doing this for the last few days.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
I am no expert - but on my xda2 my SD card can seem to lose connectivity quite often.
I wonder if your card reader, is losing connection to the card (dodgy reader?) then reconnecting - and thinks you have inserted the card.

The WEIRDEST thing on my Trinity

I had the weirdest thing on my Trinity while in New York. I was on 3G and was surfing the net. Because I installed Memmaid 1.72 on my pda (main memory), i moved my temp file tp my Sandisk Ultra 2 Gigabyte mini sd card. I also installed Pocket Mechanics 2.23 on the main memory and did defragmentation of my mini sd card to optimize the speed. I did this several times. Mind you all is great, surfing was wonderful then all of a sudden while trying to access xda-developers.com from my pda on 3g Cingular, it froze and couldn't advance past 35 kb. I repeated it twice then gave up. I went to my mini sd and all the folders and files vanished. Even the programs I installed on the mini sd. When checking the insalled programs in the settings, they were still on my device but the actual files in the mini sd where gone so the program icons did not work. I am not sure what happened. So I formated the mini sd now and it went back to 1933 mgbs free on the card. Before formating it had 160 mbs in use but nio actual files visible when accessing the card. Does anyone know what happened to my card Is it a rom issue?
Thanks,
Gilbert
hi Gilbert
i am not sure about that, but for my experience I had the same idenctical problem after defragmented the external memory with pocket mechanic, so after loosed my data once again I dont use P.M. anymore and my problems now are solved.
Hope this helps

Yeah, I wouldn't use it either. I've found the best way to format my SD cards is to take them out of the device copy all the files to the pc using a card reader and format the card using Windows XP.

[Q] No Service

Hi,
i have installed NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA_V2.7 nand through MAGLDR with lastest radio to my HD2 but keep getting no service i have tried re-installing from scratch factory reset and other roms still get the same problem eveytime,
does any body have any ideas ? should i downgrade the radio? if so to what version ?
any help would be great , everthing else seems fine WIFI usb etc ....
a problem like that isn't down to what radio you're using, so dont bother going down the route of trying loads of radios, , , flash one of the later ones (many people settle on 2.12.50 2.14.50 and 2.15.50) and then move on.
No service is more usually a dodgy sim card, knackered/dirty sim card slot (can you read the contacts to/from the sim card? tested the sim in another phone?((though even that isn't 100% accurate, there have been threads where a sim card worked in other phones, but not in the hd2, a new sim sorted it)), a blacklisted phone, perhaps, or (and i think I've seen this mentioned) even the sd card can mess up the sim card.
Or, if you mean it connects to the network a bit, but drops out a lot, then it could be down to the two prongs inside that press against the inner casing to use it as an aerial, they can be pried up a little to connect more firmly against the casing, , there's a thread about it, google 'improving reception hd2 inurl:xda-developers' or something similar.

3 different sim cards and non of them worked? Install WinMo and see if you get a signal there.

tried windows mobile dark forces ultra fruit get "sim error sim card is missing or invalid"
Winmo = Windows Mobile 6.5 (Stock HD2's OS, and NOT DFT's UltraFruit Windows Phone 7)
Anyway, since you tried the sims on another operating system regardless of what it is and you still got an error, it's probably a hardware thing.
Try to read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31975638&postcount=2 again!
