hi,
i have this 4GB SDHC installed on my dopod 838pro (hermes)... and have lots of software installed on it.. the problem is after "off" mode (hybernate), all installed softwares on the SD card is not readable and can not run anything.. you can browse the folders but all are empty... what i always do is i will eject and insert the sd card and all goes well again.. does any one knows the best solution for this? I searched google and i have not find this problem/solution.. thanks in advance...
a think that the maximum is 2G
I use an 8 Gb card, no problems. May be the sd card, may be the rom you are using. Try backing up the sd card then re-formatting it FAT32. Transfer everything back and re-insert. Go to "hybernate" then power back up. See if that works.
The 2nd thing to try is change your ROM.
Or try another sdhc card. It may be a faulty card.
Cheers...
i have almost the same problem (4GB Kingston microSDHC). some of the folders remain empty and i don't know why.
i've changed 3 ROMs and with the last one (official) happened just for one folder till now. anyway it seems that the official rom is far more stable than the cooked ones and everything works as it should.
is there any wm6.1 rom that can be as stable as official wm6.0?
anyway, i've seen this problem metioned by others and I don't know what the cause is: card, pda or ROM.
maybe is out there someone that can help.
@ultramag: what ROM are you using?
re
mine is also 4GB Kingston.. maybe the Kingston is the problem.. my current rom is CRC v13.3
I'm yesying the new WM 6.5 rom by section8prime8, build 21139. Seems to work fine so far but only had it on for a couple of days. No problem with sdhc though... On ANY rom I've tried....
Hi, since I upgraded my SPL to 1.54/1.56, i've tried installing both Dutty WM6.1 v2.9 and Mira WM6.5 v8.1 but neither of them seems to like my storage card, i have to do soft reset for it to recognise the card, but after a while the card will disappear again...
any1 got the same problem or know how to fix it please?
Thanks

I've seen one other user with the same issue. What type / brand of SD card are you using? Trying to narrow down what is causing this... he had the same issue with same rom(s).
its the SanDisk 8GB SDHC one - one that came by default with Orange UK contract.
Btw, I did upgrade to the offcial 1.54/56 ROM before upgrading to the 2 ROMs above.

Maybe it's got to do with the power management policies the Chef applied. Try to use schaps' Advanced Config 3.3 to disable SD Card Power Management and see if it helps.
Also, some caches and DMA could be the culprits but first let's see about power management.
The Power Management is disabled.
Also, 1 thing I particularly noticed is when I open Windows Media player, attempt to update my library on storage card, it can find all my music files, but when it attempt to add the music to the library, it doesnt. and then the sd card disappear from File Explorer, WMP libary option.
Backup your sd card to your PC, and reformat it. Had the same problem, fixed with a format

I have the same SanDisk8GB SDHC one - default card which came with the phone. Same thing happned. It has become very slow to access, and practically useless, the phone cannot detect the card. If put into the computer with the adapter then also it is the same computer cannot read it or sometimes takes too long, cannot format. this happened after the 1.54/56 rom.
Happened to me also with some custom ROM.
I used my warranty to exchange the SD card.
My advice : backup your SD card when you can, from time to time.
Same Thing
Same thing happenned to my card. Same default card that came with the phone. But I have SPL 1.14 which I have had for a while now. I just flashed to a Miri ROM and it started happenning. I will try reformatting to see if it helps.
did you remove the sd-card when you flashed?

I am "others" too.
I tried every hint I could find on the forum including disabeling the SD card power management and setting the PnP values higher.
Nothing works (and I have a Apacer 8GB card)
For me it narrowed down to:
1) Hardware faulty or
2) Hardware cannot "cope" with 8GB .
I've called HTC in the US - which where very friendly brw - and the lady said that most handsets are only guaranteed / tested to work with 4GB cards, Although there are other handsets in other countries who where sold with an 8GB card as a bundle.
Today I called HTC "support" centre in "New Zealand" and the phillipin/indian/nepalese customer service lady told me that my handset had been parallel imported and therefore needs to be send back to the NETHERLANDS for a diagnosis / repair!
I told her that if she would'nt give the number of their authorised repair centre in NZ I might have to think to contact Ministry for consumer law. So I got the number and I will go there now, cheking what the story is..will keep you updated.

I doubt that the new SPL 1.54/1.56 is related to the SD card problem as I also downgraded to original HTC rom with spl1.14 and still have the same problem[/I]

EDIT: gurluver I think you're right! I downgraded my device now back to spl 1.14 and no problems anymore. As I am discussing this with crackwhore it seems that
1) some countries's touch hd might have a different hardware
2) however even though I have downgraded to official HTC ROM spl 1.14 (and the card is working fine then) as soon as I upgrade to offical and / or other spl 1.56 the problem appears again.
Conclusion: I have to go and (probaley argue) with HTC and see if they are willing to either fix it or send me a new device.
Will keep you posted
so to sum up, i guess i'll have to try these when i have sometime, and see what happens after each step, and only go to next step if previous step works.
- restore to Orange UK ROM SPL 1.14
- upgrade to Official WWE SPL 1.54/56
- Try another 1.54/56 ROM.
- Format the card
- Install SD tune up
I'll report back here my result.
update...
i have flashed my device several times, at least 15 times,.always using USB activesync, never thru the stotage card. I have v1.14 and I have never had a problem. After rebooting the phone a couple of times, I got my card to reappear today long enough to backup my stuff. Then I formatted the card, put it back in, loaded it up with the same files, and I havent had another problem, though its only been about 8 hours.

restore to orange UK ROM spl 1.14..and you will see that you will be sweet. After I upgraded to official SPL 1.54/56 it didnt work again..and I tried several versions (NDL; came with the phone , EUR & WWE)
I just think that its not right to be "stuck" with spl 1.14 in order to use or card...
SD Card Problem
I had this problem last night. Basically my card just disappeared from the file explorer. Could not connect it to disk drive mode or anything. Took the card out, re-inserted and the card would appear for a few seconds and then go again. Soft re-setted and it would appear for a bit then disappear.
Done a hard reset and the card still would only appear for a while until I tried to access it then it would disappear.
I eventually narrowed my problem down to something I had installed on the card which was MaxTTM. After deleting this folder from my card, it remained visible. Been working fine ever since. I didn’t have to delete my music or video files which make up around 6-7gb of my card. From now on I think I’ll install my software on the phone as opposed to memory card. My card is a 16gb Sandisk.
When the problem happened to me, first, only some directories had disapeared. Or at leat I couldn't access to them.
Even with a µSd card reader on the PC.
I formated it with the storage tool, on the HD, because the PC would'nt see it.
A week later, I couldn't access to the card anymore. Neither on the HD, nor on the PC.
I concluded that the card was destroyed.
Hopefully it was still under warranty.
I don't blame the cooked ROM I was using. Maybe the SDtuneup with some parameters I entered with Advanced config tool did the mess.
Like power management.
My first SD corruption occured when the card was almost full, and I was downloding a file with Opera. In the meantime I plugged in my PC in mass storage mode. I recognize my error. But instead of simply having a file system corruption, why did it destroyed the card ?
Because after then, the card access was longer. Perhaps the system was trying to recover some bad sectors ? I'm working in phone industry, and we do a lot of tests on these kind of use cases. So I can't beleive HTC hardware isn't that robust.
In my case, it ended with a hardware destruction. Even on other devices (with other OS/ ROM) it also failed reading.
Bad luck with a weak µSD card ?

Card done these step - works fine on 1.14, breaks on Official WWE 1.54/56.
I guess any of us who have this problem should probably email HTC so they release a fix for this.

I've sent my device in for diagnosis / repair / swap . I will update you what's happened. Good Idea with writing to HTC though
I had also an old Sandisk 6 GB card and copied to it the content from 8 GB card (which came with HD). That solved my (SD disappering) problem !
I have Pocket ScummVM and Pocket UAE on an SD (not SDHC) card, and up until two days ago they both ran fine, yesterday i upgraded my radio stack and now whenever i run either of these apps they stick in the loading state and i have to soft reset to terminate them. I can still run Sim City 2000 from the SD card so i'm wandering if it's some kind of transfer bottleneck/issue.
radio: latest (1.18)
rom: latest tomal WM 6.1
will try copying everything off the card, reformatting and copying it back, see if that helps

Try to reinstall the apps
seems to be general issues, last night adobe flash claimed to be out of memory, when there should be plenty, so i'm wandering if it's a RAM issue and nothing to so with the SD card or apps specifically. The Tomal rom includes a flash disk which s taking up 16mb can i turn that off somehow?
cycloid, the flash disk doesn't take up 16mb.
please read wiki Memory and Storage Types
so many people seem to make this same mistake
either the cook is very nice and gives you a flash disk, or you don't have one, and that memory is lost to you completely
thanks for pointing me at that info, ramdisk is actually quite cunning then!. I still suspect i have a ram or general memory marshalling issue, hmm..
fixed kinda. I had the 9.6 tomal rom, put 8.81 on it and all is good.
Hi all
Just want to share my experience. Don't know whether it was a result of me flashing my TP but just recently when I wanted to add some songs on to my sdhc card (which is in my TP) I noticed that I couldn't. Also when I delete some files, once I refreshed the screen, it would still be there. Noticed that something was going on when I couldn't save pics to my sd card, thought it was due to the NRG rom but now it's confirmed that the card will not delete/add other files on to it. I've had this card since I bought my tp 2 years ago
Whatever is on the card is fine, like my previous programs that were installed and my music which was there before. It is still usable, only with what is there.
I tried to format the card - after almost 24h of formating - it gave an error (forgot what it was though)
So, next time you flash, might want to remove that sd card?
i ve nrg Rom (ernergy style), too and a 16 GB sdhc card ... i never take it out when flashing new roms & i flash nearly every new rom that comes out, never had such issues as you have... maybe hardware error: did you controll/format (fat-format) your card with special progs as SDFormatter from Panasonic?
hi, no i just used initially via windows and then via command prompt. forgot about sdformat...
will google & try,
thanks for reminding me
I still use my htc universal, never stopped using it in fact, and recently it was totally crashed, so I flashed it to another rom and tried 2 other roms including the 1 I used first, and each time the sd card isn't detected.
What is likely is that for some reason, the sd card reader of my device simply don't work anymore, all of sudden. I just want to know if this happened to someone else so I may be more sure about that.
SD Card
Hello,
Try replacing your SD Card with a new one. If that does not work. Do a sprite backup on your device. Then do a hard reset. Try your new SD card before restoring your rom after doing a hard reset. Let me know so I can walk your through. This is the best rom for the Qtek 9000 Windows Mobile 6.5.5 Build 23566 Sun_dreams Rom
Sincerely yours,
Robert

I did but it still didn't work, I gave up since, my uni being damaged on many other parts I wasn't using much memory now anyway, thanks for answering though.
