Hi all
I have a problem with my XDA II that has been with me for quite some time (every since I started using the SD slot). what happens is that when inserting the SD card it can access it and all works 100%, but every now and then it disappears, if I take the card out and reinsert it, it works 100% again…
I’ve noticed that after turning the unit back on (after its been suspended/off) the card is not there.. but only seems to be sometimes.. the battery is always over 50% as its in the cradle most of the day, but every on weekends I have the same problem when I don’t dock the unit…. I’m lost of what it could be…
Any ideas????
I have read on several forums of some people complaining that the Kingston brand SD cards are sometimes not recognized on the XDA II. I used to have a 512mB Kingston and only experienced what you describe once. I lost my unit though and when I replaced the SD card this time I bought a Transcend 45x 512mB SD card and so far have not experienced the missing SD card syndrome.
Ed
Thanks for the reply ednap,
Do you know what the best format to use is for the XDA II? could it be a formating issue? I have got Pocket Mechanic 1.49 and have noticed there is many options just wondering what is the best one?
I am also using the Kingstone 512MB, is the problem with the card or the XDA II? should I take the issue up with Kingstone?
Many thanks for the info
Hi All
I have seen that the new 2GB MMC 4 card has been released by Pretec?
It is ment to be the fastest flash memory in the world. hear are the speeds:
Read: 22.5MB/s
Write: 18MB/s
Does any one know if this new MMC 4 cards will work in our XDA II's it says it should work in most SD/MMC slots around today... but regarding speed do you know if we would see any speed increases from SD with this new MMC???
http://www.pretec.com
from tests at least with sd cards the xda2 dont handle all that well compare to most other pocketpc's also worse then xda1 which dont use
the poor internal sd interface that xcale have
you can benchmark using pocketmechanics
and try doing a search people have been posting benchmarks they made with the xda series
Thanks for the reply Rudegar...
Does any one else know any info on the new MMC 4 cards???
well i would asume that they should work
but are they not a bit on the expensive side ?
i mean even with the extre speed if it would help
their price are pretty high
compared to some a few 256MB sd cards
and i dont have any serious issues even with my really really really
slow sandisk sd cards
Die MMC 4 Standard defines 4bit in parallel for data-transmission while AFAIK the MMC has only 1 bit data serial for data.
So it is likely, that it will not work.
Alex
but i'm pretty sure that sd also use 4bit in parallel
but i think the problem with the xda2 is that it's internal xcale interface is a mmc interface which is compatible with sd not the other way around
this is also one of the reasons the xda2 have a slower sd interface then xda1 where it have an external chip because the arm200 dont have that mmc internal interface like xcale400
So MMC are not necessary slower than SD?
Hi...
after reading about the new pretec card I went back to read the articles/posts regarding the difference between MMC and SD...
http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handhelds/0,39001709,39008492-2,00.htm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7901&start=0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5513&highlight=sd+mmc
So, if I undestand well now, MMC are not necessary (by definition) slower than SD (this Pretec is faster than the Panasonic?) and not necessary smaller than SD... the only difference boils down to the SD feature...
Rudegar (first all thank you for all the help you are giving in this forum... you are of great example! :wink: ) what do you use your SD card for? In particular, do you watch compressed movies on your XDA without any problems in term of speed?
Finally on SD vs MMC...:
-why do u think Pretec made the 2GB card MMC instead of SD?
-why do you think expansys is pricing MMC higher than SD (look at 256 and 1GB)
http://www.expansys.com/d_storage.asp
so it is not even true that MMC are cheaper than SD...
Mentioning Expansys... what are the best places on the web:
-with widest variety (expansys has recently cut a lot... there are no Panasonic etc... anymore...)
-with the past price (I want to buy one finally!!!)
Thanks,
Chris
i use my sd card mainly for music and a few programs that eat too much space and ebooks and a few video's mainly to brag
in terms of speed then i sometimes get nonsync audio on larger video clips
and when i tried journalbar i had sound clickings so i had to turn it off to listen to music (but i'm not 100% sure that was because of sd speed and not just journalbar acting strange)
and then of cause i use my sd for getting files from a pc that dont have a cradle or other sync cable
using the sandisk cruzer if it dont have a sd reader already
I find my battery goes down much faster with the 256Mb SD card plugged in - would a faster 2Gb MMC card require more power, 1. for higher transfer speeds and 2. for keeping powered up?
Thank you Rudegar!
Good point Madkat...
maybe some with a 1GB memory card who has tried the 256 before can answer us... but I think it would be easier if you open a new thread... something like "SD Card bigger = more power consuption?"
hmmm well. i am expecting my new xda 2 on sunday was thinking of gettin a new mmc on it. whts the max. it supports plz confirm. also whts the standard memory on the phone itself.
I have 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB SD cards. While I do not have any empirical data to prove it, I do not see any difference in battery consumption between any of the cards. BTW - I have 32, 64 and 128MB MM cards as well.
BRosenow: Any chance you could do a little testing, like leaving MMC & SD cards of same capacity in overnight, and a high capacity SD overnight, and checking the new battery % in the morning? Would be greatly appreciated
I'll give it a go and let you know what I have discovered in a couple of days!
How did the testing go?
How did you go with your testing BRosenow??
Cheers!
Thanks for reminding me. My testing was inconclusive, but there does not seem to be any consistent difference in power drain between the different sizes of SD/MMC cards.
I used the same procedures each night - when I got home from work I put my imate in the cradle to be sure it was powered up to 100%. At 10:00PM I inserted the SD/MMC card and soft-reset the device then placed it on the desk beside my laptop. At 6:00AM I turned on the device and read the meter (using the battery meter in SPB Pocket Plus 2.0) and recorded the % of battery power remaining. My first tests were as follows:
1GB SD 89%
512MB SD 92%
256MB SD 91%
128MB SD 86%
64MB MMC 89%
I was interested to see if the same card consumed the same amount of power each time, so I tried my 1GB SD again, and this time 91% was remaining in the morning.
Other things have kept me from continuing the testing, but my conclusion is that battery drain is not linear based on expansion memory size or type and is influenced by unknown factors, but the precision of the Pocket Plus battery meter could certainly be a factor.
Thoughts?
try leaving it in fligth mode
since variations in signal str's can cause more or less
power requirements depending on how much work the
gsm part is doing that night
I can see that your suggestion is a good idea, though I do not think it would make an appreciable difference in the outcome. A total spread of 6% with the given test parameters, particulary given that a distinct trend was not obvious, does not lend itself to indicate a practical difference in power consumption between types of cards or size of cards. (IMHO )
yeah i just talked about one way to make it a tiny bit less unpredictable
5% is always called the stat error margin and 6% is soo close i doubt there is any relation because size and power requirements
maybe the result would differ a bit if the card were being access'd
not sure doubt there is a world of difference because
these types of cards are used in a world of devices where many i'm sure have amp limiters on their sd power curcit to make sure that a camara malfuction would not kill the sd card
so if like a 512MB card required that much more power then a 64MB card
then many cam's mp3players and ..... would be incompatible with those larger cards
Agreed.
I was tempted to write a little script/batch file that would access a file stored on the card at regular intervals, but I just cannot conceive that there will be a measurable difference, so I didn't bother.
At this point I believe that access times are a more important decision variable in which type/size/brand of card to buy than is power consumption.
hey guys, just wondering if this is a known bug on universals or just several roms or if i have a dodgy universal or sd card in general:
It seems when i bring the device out of standby mode after a long period of inactivity, i enter my password and the device just freezes, locks up - Dead.
When I take the storage card out and repeat, the device is fine which lead me to believe the card was duffly formatted, so i stuck it in my card reader and formatted it into FAT32 and then put all my data back on... same problem!
So i then flashed my device from the QTEK rom to the o2 rom in corp mode to see if i still had the issue... was fine for a short while then earlier today i turned it back out of standby and same problem!
So i've narrowed it not to be the storage cards fault, since the card works fine in my xda 2s, and card reader and it seems to either be a subsequent issue in the o2 and qtek roms, or maybe ive got a duff universal with dodgy card slot?
Is this lockup issue a known bug?
Sometimes when i get lucky the device doesnt lock up but instead the card disappears from the system view, and only removing the battery and then rebooting solves it.
If anyone can shed any light i'd appreciate it!
had similar problem
On my compact and PRO (univsersal) I had 1 1gb SD card that always gave a message improperly removed when the device came out of standby.
Used the card that came with my PRO , a 512mb SANDISK no problem.
Put the 1gb in my panasonic camera its fine. the 16MB that came with my camera but branded panasonic works fine in my PRO, left the 512 in my compact for as MP3 with bluetooth headphones.
I think the compact had less problems after a recent T-mobile ROM update.
I think the Compact and PRO are both fussy what cards they use. My 1gb SD card is a generiic 66x. Also I think that there are some bugs to be ironed out with power management.
BTW should it be flashed in FAT or FAT32, some devices can only read FAT I believe.
If you use standby/suspend and you have media files (music/books/etc) on the SD card and the app in main memory you'll have problems when you re-start. I get this problem with MS Reader and eBooks all the time. Looks like another bug in WM5 to me.

Funny, I have all of my apps on the Main Memory, and my .prc's, .avi's, and .ogg's on the storage card, and I've never had this problem?
(I'm using a 1 Gig Jessops card that originally came with my camera, no idea what it "really" is though)
@sun69,
the problem only occurs if you use powersave/suspend and you leave a media file open, eg when reading an ebook.
this also happens when you have a 2577 folder on the sd card and do not have a start.exe in it. It will let the device hang.
Ive found the problem to be with the SD card itself, if i use the 128mb Sandisk from my Xda II s it's fine,but within ten minutes of sticking the 512 Lexitar card in, the whole device is ten feet under...
Looks like ill need another
MurphmanL
I reformatted my 2GB SD card and one problem I had with WM5 reporting a shortage or RAM went away. Not really sure why the Exec seems to be so sensitive about SD cards.
Actually this reminds me... I used a 1GB KINGMAX SD card in my XDA II Mini and it hangs randomly... Now I'm using a 1GB Sandisk SD Plus USB in my XDA Exec and it hangs randomly too...
I am reverting back to me Panasonic 128mb SD card to see if that helps... Although it's weird that on my Xda Exec it only SOMETIMES hangs when I receive an SMS... don't know whether this is two issues or one.
I have a 4GB Transcend SD Card. I can install and run any application on it but, the camera application can't seem to read or store any pictures on it. It states: "not enough memory"
I tried reformatting it using Pocket Mechanic on my Exec and still the same result. I tried reformatting it on my computer but it can't read the 4GB SD card from Transcend.
funny I have a 1Gb Sandisk card and even if I have no media files open sometimes it just hangs on resume. The only way to get around this problem is to leave the XDA switched on all the time and swithc only the backlight.
However, this way the battery life is shorter. I think this problem should be addressed to someone who is technical (not like me) maybe we get a plausable explanation of what shall we do.
It is very annoying since when the system hangs up the mobile does not have any coverage and in sales it means loosing potential customers!!!!
XDA EXEC
Same problem Here.
I had a 1 Gig card and I often had to take it out to solve the problem.
Now I have a 2 Gig card (Sandisk Ultra II) and the problem is solved.
I'm not that technical, but wasn't there an issue with dual voltage sd card's?
I too have a memory card problem. I have loaded some pictures and videos on the card but as soon as I try to open them in File Explorer the XD Exec freezes and will only work again if I remove the memory card or reset the Exec. Then it freezes again when I try and read the memory card again. I've tried loading stuff on using Active Sync and using a memory card reader and still the same. I've even formatted the card again. It is a cheap SD memory card will I need a new memory card or is it a software problem?
@jah, my wife has this same problem on her Wizard (vario), she got a 128Mb miniSD with her Vario. If she leaves the card in and allows the device to suspend then wakes it up she gets a white blank screen and has to soft reset to recover. With the card removed the problem goes away. She had her vario replaced because of this fault (tech support thought it was the vario at fault). It was only when the problem occured with the new vario that I had a play and found with the card removed the fault went away. We haven't taken the card back yet, but I am 99% sure it is a card fault.
I might try her card with the adaptor in my Exec and see if I get the same problems as you are getting?
Regards, Simon
It seems like Dopod900/Univeral is sharing the same problem, too sensitive toward particular SD brand/model. My Dopod900 also having a huge problem recognizing the Kingston 2G SD 133x but works fine with Transcent 2G SD 150x.
Hi all.
I have read many posts about different experiences and possible issues with hard drive. IMHO & from personal experience of using HDD in Smartphone etc..it is best to install ALL programs to either device memory or SD card. Use your MD solely for data storage and media (photos, movies and Music).
Personally, I would, like wu, install all GPS software to SD card, as it will ensure that the shock resistant technology won't even be needed for sensitive programs.
The HDD is a mechanical device peeps, it will inevitably put more of a strain on the battery.
Simple test for all you owners of the Athena:
1) Choose any movie and transfer a copy to your SD card and a copy to the Micro Drive.
2)Ensure your battery is fully charged at the mains then disconnect the mains and use TCPMP to bench-test the entire movie from MD....look at media properties afterwards and take a snapshot of all the details or note it down....now check battery consumption.
3) Recharge battery to max again and repeat the process using the SD card and record the results.
If you find the MD is performing better (I'd be happily surprised) then technology has moved on considerably in the last few months. If however SD card is performing better, power consumption wise, then you know for sure which will last you longer.
Whatever the result is I will still be setting my Ameo (when I get it ) as stated above, but it would be interesting to see from TCPMP what speeds the movie is benched at from both storage mediums.

I agress, that is a good way to test it. I have broken my SD card so i can't test it now, but personally i will install all the programs and navigation software on SD, and move the music, movie file to MD.
However i should let you guys also know, i have tested the writting and reading speed between these two using Pocket_Mechanic PRO, and the MD result is much higher than sd for some reason....

Interesting Wu. seems like MD hardware has made significant improvements.
My biggest concern is that if I install to MD and it by chance fails, I will have lost everything, but to SD, I don't foresee major problems.
I think when I get my Ameo, I will do a full setup between Device memory & MD and do a full backup with Spb Backup to SD card.
Then hard reset and do a full set-up to device memory & SD card, also with a full backup to sd card.
Save both back-up files to PC, just in case.
Then give each method a trial run for a week to see which, if any yields better results.
Hope you get your new SD card soon. So is the Athena SDHC compatible then? I think I read one of your posts somewhere that you had to rename the SD card to 'Storage Card' and then all worked well. Is that right Wu? And what is the largest available SDHC card on the market right now? Is it 8Gb?
I hope so. That would effectively give us in excess of 15Gb of storage space. Woohoo.....that's almost comparable to the Sony UMPC with 16Gb in-built Flash memory!!
Makes one wonder what is truly possible to do with the Athena.....dual boot O/S's? WM6 & Linux (when they get it functioning as reliably as WM O/S's).
This all getting quite exciting....possibilities possibilities.

Yes i am very exciting as well, Athena has got lots of possibilities.
Anyway, i think SDHC still not function very well,, or it could just be my card is fake ! so i go for the sandisk ultra 2 GB this time (non SDHC). The one i bought before is transcend SDHC 4G. don't know is there any bigger one, but i will suggest all Athena here but the normal mini-sd now, and wait a bit until there are more choice for SDHC. i think it's not very stable at this moment either to do with card or rom or machine.

Thanks for that Wu. Standard SD card it is then. They come up to at least 4 GB since last year, so a bigger version is imminent if not already on the market.
Oh am I sorry to report that I am having serious issues with this Micro Drive of the Athena.
SD wins hands down for me...like MD is snails pace in comparison.

That may explain why I'm having problems then. Well I suppose it's not that negative after all then as it seems that the Ameo ROM may be suffering similar issues to the X7500 Rom. Still hope for the future then.

well, actually you want to avoid the same problem that the Advantage have right now, basically, if you take Advantage on the road, you are likely to damage some sector on the Micro Drive when you come back, that's their ROM problem, as you can see, it's quite a big issue, so that must fix it before they release it.
I don't think Ameo has the same problem, but it so, it's bad because until you update the Rom, you probably damage the Micro Drive already.....

I think your Sdcard does not match to Wp7.
Change another sdcard and try again
I am using Sandisk 8m that for your reference.

I have 2 cards thay are both sandisc one is 16 gb the other is 4 gb i think thay are both class2 but am unsure thare is a logo that says c2 in the top right of the cards
however I dont think thats what the probulm is!
but am unsure.
I realy hope someone will help me figure this out.
Are you having this problem with BOTH SD cards, or just one?
The SD card, WP7, HD2 combination is very finicky. My Kingston 8GB c2 seemed to be functioning perfectly fine, with the exception of 6-7 hours battery life w/ little to no usage. I also noticed that it took a while for apps to install at the last step of a hard reset on 7720.
Thinking that Kingston was good, I upgraded to 16GB c4. The device wouldn't even boot past the splash screen after leaving magldr. So, I changed to a PNY 16gb c4 and got to see just how badly my 8GB had been performing. The apps that took a while to install at the last step of hard resetting Mango were installed in an instant. And my battery life tripled. I don't have to worry about my phone dying anymore.
So, it's very likely that your SD card can be causing the random reboots. Use dev_storagelock to unlock the card you currently have installed. Perform a hard reset. Stop the process when magldr starts and swap cards. Allow the new card to be integrated into WP7 and see if the reboot problem persists.

It's probably not the ROM and most likely the SD card. That's what WP7 does. It's super picky.

i did a haed reset and cleard all crc data the problum still ocurs
the only diffrence to both of the sd cards a i have is size
so unless i was to go buy a higher class im gessing buying another would be pointless
the weard thang is this didnt alwase happen
i used bttfv1 no problums
had bttfv2 then all sorts of problums started happening first time i flashed most of the updates with zune
then was forced to start from scrach agin after i messed up my registry with advanced config
second time i upgraded to bttfv2 i used the one shot method and im not exactly sure but i think thats when i started haveing the issue.
You allready know what's wrong, it's the SD cards you've been using. Keep trying with class 2\4\6 Sandisk cards.

what was that a sarcastic remark? & no i dont know whats wrong because as i stated before i didnt have this problum before my previous installation.
i am useing sandisk class2 16gb i am useing the card that came with the phone i realy dont understand why that would be the issue?
whats the best card to get then?
Your SD card would be the issue if the card or some sectors on the card lacks the required random read\access speed. This could very well create problems on one installation while working seemingly fine on another.
I've already said what cards I believe gives you the highest chance of working, you'll just have to keep trying with those. Theoretically you could also try reinstalling the whole thing and hope that no critical files ends up on the lower speed sectors of the card, but I don't know what chance that would have of working.
The only marketable difference between the cards may be size, but WP7 doesn't really care about that. When I we say that it's picky, we really mean it. You can have great success with one card, and then put another in of the same brand different class and WP7 will no longer boot. SD cards affect battery life and everything.
By an SD card from Fry's, if there's one around. They've got a 15 day return policy w/o restock fee. I only went through 2 cards finding the right one to upgrade to, but was prepared to go through their entire selection and the sales girl even told me to not feel bad about doing it.
Hi,
probably you must calibrate battery or yours SD card not works correctly...

I have a Kingston 16GB calss2 works perfect
The issue was that the original rom was American English
if i istall like it is everything works good and since i/m greek i can use also the buld in greek keypad with no problem
BUT when i change to my language the full functions of the phone , then it keeps
restarting byitself ....
For me no problem to work with the english menu at all , so i keep the device in english and works.
