Hi,
I have a problem in recognizing my Transcend 2 GB SD-Card.
During operation the MDA Pro "looses" my storage card. I do not need to move the MDA. It also happens when it is on the table.
When I eject the card and put it in again it is recognized again.
Do you have a suggestion what this can be?
Mike
****, I just ordered the same card two days ago. Should arrive today or tomorrow. I let you know what happens.
Unless your card is faulty, try reformatting the card (I know you don't usually have to do this staight out of the box). I have had this problem before, but on the i-mate jam and it would read the card in my PC, but not my LapTop, which has a dedicated SD slot. Go figure. Tried formatting to FAT and FAT32, but I think it doesn't make too much of a difference. For me it came down to the type of SD card being used!
My 1GB Scandisk card works flawlessly and quickly wherever I put it, but my 2GB Scandisk SD Ultra II only works in my PC and transfer rate seems noticeably slower. :?
I already formatted the SD-Card. I also tried Low Level Format with
Pocket Mechanic.
I haven´t found failures with a r/w test. On the PC there are no problems.

Send it back! :evil:

Having 2GB MMC works fine with me... Thank God.. was worried
I have the same problem with the Transcend 2GB card. When syncing Avantgo to the card I get a "write teimeout" error. The card is still there when I look at it with the explorer.
2GB SD card
I have no problems with a 2GB Sandisk SD card.
I bought an Integral 2GB High Speed SD card. Initially, my JASJAR refused to recognise the card as anything more than 128 MB. I tried formatting it with Pocket Mechanic (Low level and normal format) - still 128MB. My notebook (with a built-in SD card reader) also saw it a 128 MB. My EPSON card reader did not recognise it at all.
After finding a post on a forum through Google, I found out that the iMate JAM apparently creates a new partition on the 2GB card, and that it was a known problem (for the JAM).
Using Partition Magic, we saw that it in fact created three partitions (128 MB, 1GB and the remainder, but we could not format or use the other).
My husband got the brilliant idea to put the card in my Nikon CoolPix, which told us that the card was not formatted. He told the camera to format it, which worked -- I can now use the card as 2GB in both my JASJAR and my laptop.
I hope this helps somebody ...

Which type?
THX!
Got no probs on my scandisc ultraII card on jasjar either, but my laptop won't recognise it! :?
Good thing I have a PC too! :lol:
No problems with my UltraII card either...
I always format my cards with my PC or Laptop before using them, and it's always been fine in PPC, PC, and Laptop.
When I inserts the SD card (Power Disk 1GB), he gets a question whether he wants to format the card so that the JAM will recognize it. If he chooses to format the card, he gets a message that it can not be done and he should reinsert the card or replace it.
I tried a different 1GB SD card and it did not work either. A 256 card worked fine. PL
Is the card write protected?
That little switch on the side

NO
No ..
maybe that brand of card is not compatible with JAM. Try common ones like Sandisk, Kingston, Transcend, Lexar, Panasonic those work without any issues. 2Gb and 4Gb cards are a problem as some will work and some won't.
The other thing is that the Powerdisk Card is faulty? have you tested it using a card reader or a digital camera?
hi, i have a question about SD cards. how can i test my 512 sd card (don't know brand, when i bought the S100 the card hadn't any stickers on it) to see its speed? is there any app? thanks!
you can use a tool from handango.com like Pocket Mechanic or SKTools
hi,
I've got a problem with my sd card in my prophet. the prophet can not read the sd card the card. when I use the explorer prophet doesn't show the sd card. also I can not the start the apps stored on the sd card.
When I insert the SD Card into a card reader or an other xda I can see all the data on it but not in my xda prophet. Soft reset doesn't help.
check if the card is sdhc or simply sd
sdhc cards don't work with prophet
its a 2GB SD Card from Sandisk that I use for over one year. The issue exists since last week.
it seems like it's some hardware problem
if you haven't warranty, maybe try to open your prophet and clean up pins in prophet's reader
[sorry for my english]
it seems like a hardware problem. the prophet has got warranty, so I will send it for repair.
thank you all for your support.
Hi there,
you may think : "not another one with MiniSD card problems !", but I bought my HTC P3600 yesterday with a Kingston 2Gb MiniSD card and it just won't see the card. I have the original, latest WM5 version and didn't try to reformat the card (because I don't have a card reader here) yet, so could that be the problem or is it hardware-related ?
Regards
you can see more info in the memory setting
for sd cards
otherwise it could be a hardware issue had it happen before
with various flash cards
and of cause it could be the phone's sd connector if no minisd cards work :S
It doesn't show anything there, it says "not installed"......couldn't it be the card that only has to be formatted ? Or do you think it is hardware-related ?
just yr luck tt yr kingston 2gb is not recognised by your trinity.
happened to my friend as well.
solved when she got a sandisk instead.
You need tio try one of 2 things
1) Try your card in another device
2) Try another card in your device
If either work OK, it points to the culprit and the solution
my best bet is that the card is dead
happent to a 512MB kindston i had too
1 day it just stop'd working
kinda odd too when they say that sd cards are very resilient
saw a clip where they placed a digicam on a bridge and blew it up
and the sd card still worked
and a cam fell into the sea and washed up and the sd card was still working so they could get the pictures out
but i have many kingston sd cards which work just fine
Well, formatting the card had the desired effect !
It is now found by the P3600 and I was able to install the TomTom maps
I'm glad it worked !!
hi guys your forum is great cant stop reading.But i have an issue i recently bought an 4gb mini sd card for my phone the card works but is like it works when it feels like if i put it in and wait for a while or just randomly turn the phone off and on it will work i format it using my card reader through windows on fat32 and all the thing is it works but i should not have to be going through all of this for the sd card to work.
My next problem is i recently upgraded to SNN Edition Version 3.0 LITE and i have to say i love it but before my phone could detect my sd card and from i did i upgrade its not detecting my card at all to be on the safe side i took out the card before the upgrade and now its not detceting at all please can any one help me is there a patch i can use or something HELP!!
i think try to format via fat16 option. i had earlier 2gb kingston card sdmini after formatting it works welll
i was doing some reading and i was told that 2gb is the highest for formating with fat16 i have a 4gb card so this cant work for me a even look in properties and the only option is fat32.any body else as any more in puts.
4GB cards are almost exclusively multilayer, and cannot be read by the Wizard's card reader. You are basically limited to 2GB, and it should be formatted as FAT, not FAT32, as was already noted. If there's a 4GB model that's single layer, that's great, but I don't know about it. (...not saying I'm the definitive authority, either...)
which program can i use in windows to format the card in FAT and not FAT32 and as i said before the phone could read the card before i did the upgrade the only thing its takes a while for the phone too detect the SD card and thats in FAT32 format but i will try the FAT format.
from my experience you can't put ANY 4gb minisd card into the wizard and have it work correctly since it uses double buffering which the wizard doesn't support.
you have 2 options.. either buy a 2gb one.. or format only half of the card in FAT ...as myrddin said.. this might use only 1 buffer..
if that doesn't work, you can look for a program which blocks clusters and block half of the clusters on the card. that would certainly work but you won't be able to get 4gb out of that card ever again.
i'd go with the first option.. 2gb cards aren't that expensive nowadays.
well guys i bought the sd card for my phone and i research before buying it and it caused work so there must be a way for this to work even if i have to split it in 2 partitions but i am at work now so when i get home i will work on it (good thing i bought that card reader) lol but i will give you guys an update soon i plan to format the card in fat16 all 4gb if that dont work i am going to split the partition in 2 but i would love a single partition but what ever works.
I have a 2gb SD Card...
Hey guys... i have a 2gb kingston card (micro SD with adaptor to miniSD), but i have the exact same problem... my wizard just stopped reading the card!

Correct-o-mundo.
Another common problem (related more to card readers than just to Wizards) is that the reader contacts (and even the card contacts) can become worn, dirty, or corroded. Try removing the card and battery, and get in there with a VERY bright light, a magnifying glass, and some cotton swabs dipped in isopropyl. Clean the metal contacts on both card and Wizard. Be careful not to soak the chip. Damp, not wet. Soak the chip and you WILL be buying a new one soon.
Let things dry COMPLETELY before trying anything, or you'll be sorry.
