hello, i am running mattc froyo1.5b, it is the most stable build for me, when i go to the market i can install apps without any problems but after i exit the app and then go back to using it after a while i become unable to install any app ( when i click on install , it doesnt download the app, and nothing happens to the download progess bar ) i have to shutdown android,restart it and then it will work again.
i tried unmounting the sd card then installing the app but it still won't download
anybody having the same problem? any suggestions?
p.s: i had the same problem with other android builds before mattc froyo 1.5b
not trying to be rude but you should have read the first post more carefully
from the rom thread

Known problems:
It is easier to list what I know doesn't work.
Certain apps from the market won't install. Neocore is one for example. You have 2 options to get them to work. A) Copy the .apk to your SD card then run it from your phone or B) Unmount your SD card first (Settings > SD Card > Unmount SD Card).
Flashlight app doesn't work. There are some on the market that will work.

thanx for ur reply but i actually read that post and it is not the problem that i am getting because i can install the same app that wasnt installing before in the first time but only after i shutdown android and restart
Your sd card is definitely corrupted. Backup your files out of the sd card, use a proper sd card formatter and restore everything back again. Because the card is formatted to fat32, the data.img file of which your actual android data files is stored can become heavily defragmented and causing these issues.

No, please don't use that format tool...read the thread...it's no good...it will format the SD Card as FAT16...which is highly inadvisable...
Use Windows to format the sd card.

Good tip Dave, also large files and sketchy data connections, are problematic. if you are not on WIFI, 3G network inconsistency is a big download killer, unless you have a good network H steady connection, the market is inconsistent. I've found
thank you everybody i formatted my sd card to fat32 and i will check and see if the problem is gone
i formated it to 32 and the problem is still there, any suggestions?? pleassse!! but for me no downlaod from android market ever worked, from other markets they did!

I can't even format it some how it got protected...even my phone days to formatted but is never successful...ANY ADVISE THANK YOU

ive got a sd problem too. i ever used the same 16gb class2 microsd card tu run android builds and store winmo and android data. last night ive tried to switch from darkstone to matcc android build. i reformatted the sd card, put the files on it (only android folder nothing else) and started android. everything was fine but i´ve got a bsod(radio 2.12.50_2 and german stock vodafone rom). then ive tried another android build but i got the same error(doesnt ever got bsod before). later android didn start at all(every build). then ive tried chuckys rom with matcc vers. 1.5 and ive got the bsod problem again. tried 2 other builds and now andriod doesnt start and i cant even connect my hd2 to my pc(bootloader doesnt connect too) but chucky rom boots correctly. everytime ive tried another build i reformatted my sd card to fat32. hope someone can help me, sorry for bad english.
i got this problem now too. android somehow writeprotected my sd card so i can't put files on or take files off anymore...it's basicallly made my 16gb card useless. can't format or anything. tried through windows mobile, pc, and android...nothing works. anybody know how to fix it?
Same thing happened to me. My class 2 16gb card is now locked and ive found no way to unlock it.
Not that I really liked that card anyway, but it was nice to have so much storage space.
thats no problem. On your adapter for your micro sd card, there is a lock on the side of it. Make sure that it is in the up position. Basically in the unlock position, then it wont be write protected.
No, your not understanding. Its not the physical lock on the adaptor, its a logical lock on the Micro SD itself.
The Micro SD card comes up as locked no matter what I use to try and format, or delete etc.
I've googled like mad trying to find a way to fix it even installing Ubuntu to see if another OS could do it, but everything fails.
Same here I came to a conclusion. That there are some files in the SD card....what was the last buid u were using before this happened...the best solution. For this should be with an android. Phone and astro file management explore the SD card...unlucky. me none of my friends have an android device

lemme try that...i formatted it through my computer and unchecked "quick format" and after like 30 minutes it finished with an error.. hopefully this works.

ok..
whats wrong with just formating the card with ' GPARTED ' .. assumption of Linux usage !
or if you use that sloppy old microsoft O/S then use 'paragon partition manager '
job done yea?

storage tool for wm
Ok

delete file by file and see which one is locked on the card.

yea.. i used mattcleo 1.6b. i can actually still boot up android...but even in android i can't delete anything using astro. I tried replacing android folder using a card reader but that didnt work either... i'm going to try that storage tools suggestion..but i doubt anything will work. CMD finished and said that the disk was unreadable after finishing 99%.
Ok
Sounds like corrupted sectors or damaged disk to me
Put the card into a windows pc and run scandisk on the card, make sure you check : fix errors automatically and scan for bad sectors
I have 16 GB SD card (scan disk) and after I formatted (with card reader on windows XP) the card to FAT32, I run android successfully.
After reboot I started WM (Energy ROM) and when I try to run android again it stuck on boot screen (white screen with HTC in green).
I need to reformat the card again, copy the android folder again and then to run android again.
Is there a possibility to switch between Android & WM without formatting the card every time?
baby jesus doesn't love you anymore
At first, you posted in the wrong topic. This thread should be in Android General Section.
Second, try to format your card two or three times with this tool:
World Formatter
And read this:
Manual
Cheers
i'm joking i have no idea why that's happenning
I'm not sure why your having that problem, maybe cards can get worn after formatting so many times? Not sure, but I haven't formatted my card in over a month and have had WAY less problems than when I use to format it a few times a week.
I have 8gb card, but i never need format, just im copy Android folder to sd, and run Android.
i suggestion, you try another sd card, may be your card have a little problem.
but whatever is your problem is I love the "Baby Jesus" part .. LoL
now to topic -- as said earlier .. try with some other card u have... ur card may be faulty

And as said, I was also a "format-junkie" but I think it's better to just leave the card as it is. Mine works fine now, I haven't formatted since a month.
i had massive problems on my 16gb card but it all cleared up when i formatted using the format tool under windows mobile on the cell phone. i dont think it matters but im using miri's rom. if you want to know the exact verison of what rom im using let me know.
As the title suggests, the full version of this game was finally released today. BEWARE, THE SITE KEEPS CRASHING DUE TO THE NUMBER OF HITS:
http://www.getjar.com/
but there are different versions for different android phones and I still haven't found the right one! The fact that the site keeps crashing due the volume of people trying to get the game means that I have only been able to download 2 versions, the desire version and the desire z. I don't even know if there is a version that will work for us yet but, if anyone has the right apk for the HD2 then please post it here.
Thanks

It is also in the market. I am downloading it now.
my question might be a bit off topic (don't want to create another thread), sorry about that, i have read in several threads that i need to unmount and then mount my sd card to install angry birds. just wanted to know how that unmounting/mounting procedure will affect the files in my sd card. basically, is there a possibility to loose all the data/files in the sd card? cheers
Yep,

you also have to do this for some apps like Google Sky Map and Gameboid, it never effects the files on your SD card.

as far as I know its not actually unmounting the card, obv we're running android from the card so therefore all sorts of problems would occur no??
I think it just pretends to unmount the card......
not entirely sure though....
Either way, Ive never had any issues.
Also unmounting drastically improves the speed of marketplace downloads......
Not been able to install this bloody game though........... about to try unmounting.
Ive been told it can be installed via ADB, however this involves dl'ing the entire android SDK....... all for a 12meg game about bloody birds........
anyway..... lol
Is there any website to download this game and then install it? I download it fine but installation is unsuccessful ...

Method 1: Go to settings and unmount your SD card. Then open the Market and Download and Install Angry Birds, this will be succesfull and afterwards you can mount your SD Card again.
Method 2: Download Angry Birds (http://www.mediafire.com/?6e1yfy5yg6912nk) and copy it to your SD Card. Next, move the file from the SD Card to internal memory with ASTRO or any file manager. You can place it in the 'cache' folder or something like that. Then unmount your SD card, go to the folder and install the .apk. After the installation is complete, you can mount your SD card again
P.S. Unmounting your SD card will not shut down your Android or make you lose any settings/features. You can safely mount and unmount the SD Card

It'd be nice to get SD Card to unmount on my hd2 with mccm 1.5 build :/ ...
It says unmounting in progress and that's about it - never unmounts it and if I exit and come back to settings - shows option available to unmount - so no angry birds for me
Hello,
is it necessary to format the SD Card before installing Android? Or different question: I want still be able to run WinMo on my HTC HD2 Leo and use all my programs I've installed on the SD Card - can I copy all files on the SD-Card to my PC, install Android and copy them back?
Thanks so much!

it isn't necessary to format, tho i have seen a number of posts from people claiming to have corruption & lag issues until they did reformat, so you may want to, just to be safe.
personally ive only done a full format once, just after buying the card almost a year ago & haven't had any problems to date (touch wood)
as for still using winmo & files, you can as long as you're using an SD build
all the best
I have tried both ways and worked fine for me.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
not needed , it is optional.............i have all my winmo related files and 2 android builds running from the same card, never done a format.....working wonderfully well from the start.............ifi t doesnot work, then try format like some people say
Thanks so much!! I tried to copy everything but can't copy one file: XMEMediaLibrary.mlb (some process uses it).
So I will first try to install Android without format.
Gromhelm
Did it and no problems untill now. I am amazed by Android on HD2! Even Layar is working!!
some manufacturer will format their card with SD Association standard because SD Association think they know best about SD Card.
they even say this in http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter:
SD or SDHC memory card file systems formatted with generic operating system formatting software do not comply with official SD memory card requirements and optimum performance may not be experienced.
Click to expand...

what they refuse to admit is everybody has given up hopes to do anything that does not work with old Microsoft standard, long before SD Association was founded in 2000, so everything (phone, camera, mac, linux) will work if you format it with FAT32.
to be safe, after you buy any card, just use Windows to format and you can be sure it will works on any device. just select default file system and default cluster size, or just click restore device default, and you're good to go. it's so easy and you don't have to know anything.
if you wonder why android works only on 32 or 64bit cluster size, it's because that's FAT32 default cluster size depending on your card size. and one day, i predict android will also work on exFAT.

hi 96edwy
i've asked you on your youtube link but also on here if you don't mind
i have a working 8GB PNY micro sd card that has been reformated from 199mb capacity
i want my hd2 wm7 to recognise it so i can use it to store more conversations, applications and put music on
do you have any idea how i can achieve this?
If wp7 doesn't recognise it, maybe its not supported, there is a thread on here with the sd cards that are supported, have you checked if your sd card is supported?

yes sorry to say your sd card is gone, all data is lost.
you can go back to wm6.6 by flashing a stock or custom rom, just boot into the tricolour screen and flash as you would any normal rom
Thanks God anyway
but when i try to flash custom Rom it gaves me connection error on the installation progress
why is that ?
I just mount SD card in MAGLDR then diskpart clean it then format it normally...

Hey Dude thanks for getting my card back very much appreciated, excellent tutorial
Manual with Command promt
1. Run command prompt with admin privileges
2. Type in diskpart
3. Type in "list disk" to find diskpart's designation for your flash drive
4. Assuming your flash drive is disk 1 type:
a. select disk 1
b. clean
c. create partition primary
d. select partition 1
e. active
f. format fs=fat32 quick
g. assign
h. exit
after runnng wm7, i still can format sdcard by using another android phone/nokia phone. And the sdcard is recognized when my phone is running android/wm7/wm6.5). But there are 2 weird problems that i can't solve:
1. cannot use SD formatter v.30 software to format my sdcard again. always get error message when the format process reaches 30-40%. Even if i pre format my sdcard by using another software(hard disck low level format, partition wizard) /phone( android phone, nokia, window 6.5 phone), SD formatter still can't format my sdcard.
2. cannot install any android SD builds. When the android boots, the screen show me " ... cannot find any logical sector..."

Format WP7 SD with photo camera
I had a very unconventional method to restore my SD card.
I put it in my Canon photo camera and did a low level format.
After this I could access it fully again through windows / android.
