Strange indeed, I can't delete or add any file, when I try to do so, the small circle shows up to show that the pocket pc is working, then nothing happing it keeps going round till it blocks. I had this problem before and I solved it with a hard rest. I don't have the intention to hard reset again. Anyboby had this weird problem??
I might add that i can delete the files on my computer through activesync with no problem. I have O2 German upgraded to the T-mobile 1.60 english.. so any clues whatsoever???
What software do you have installed, I would be inclined to do a backup then hard reset, then when reinstalling software check if the problem occurs after each installation of your programs, this might pin it down to a program that is locking all files for some reason.
It seems that it happens randomly, cuz when I made a backup I didn't had this problem.Then when the problem occured I restored but the problem remailned. I have a lot of programs installed I wans doubting Microsoft voice command but the problem remailned after uninstalling it other programs(metro,tomtom 2,finger clix,fullscreen keyboard,sms writer,xcpuscalar,pocketMVP) any of these programs is known to force this problem. Thanks
I don't know that any of these programs by themselves are known to cause this behavior - but sometimes combinations of programs, glitches during installations, or any of a dozen other things can cause abnormal behavior.
I would agree with cruisin-thru . . . the only way to be sure if it is one of the programs you have installed, and if so which, is to do a hard-reset and install the programs one-at-a-time, giving some time for testing between installations.
Same problem here
Yep - I have had and currently have the same problem.
Uninstalling programs does not help, only a hard reset and then reinstall one by one testing as you go.
I have done a hard reset in the past, but never built it back up to the same spec, so have not pin pointed an app (if it is an app)
It may help if you compare to my install list ??
Let me know how it goes,
Ian

I think that there is a bug which appear only when you use the SD card slot.
I've the same strange randomic problem, the workaround is:
- Remove SD Card
- Softreset
- Reinsert SD Card
At least, you don't need hard reset anymore
I think that there is a bug which appear only when you use the SD card slot.

All I can say about that is that I use SD cards extensively, and I have never experienced the behavior that whafni77 describes. It could be . . . but I'm skeptical.
Maddoc ur the man, it really resolved the problem and u made me feel small not having thinked of that. For the rocord the only program in common with InaF is Pocket Bluetooth Tools, don't know if it has something to do with it. Thanks guys
Well what do you know!!!
Well Maddoc, this just goes to prove you learn something new every day!
o I tried to delete a file in File Explorer - it hung
o I killed off File Explorer from the running program list - probably not required, but just to prove the file had really been deleted
o I ejected my SD card - a very cheaply made one
o Soft Reset
o Tried to delete another file - and it worked !!
o Inserted the SD card
o Tried to delete another file - and it worked !!
I'm very happy, and the confusion as to why it is acting like this will soon disappear.
Thanks again!
That's the good part, the bad one is that you have to pull out the SD card every single time you do a soft reset, but I'm satisfied with that until someone knows what the heck is going on.

Just to add some extra informations...
In my office there are 2 qtek2020 users, me and another friend.
The only differences between devices is that i use SD cards regulary and only my device is having this kind of problem, the frequency of this problem arises when i use TOMTOM navigator and the maps are stored in SD card.
The results are the same with my 256mb sandisk and 128mb pretec.
Seems that at some point the QTEK2020( and i think also mda/imate etc... ) is unable to "receive" file change notifications( or something like that ) and the results are:
1) You can't delete file with "file explorer"( hourglass loop )
2) If you write a new note and save it, you can't even see the note on the list !!!
3) If you install another application, the program group/start menu is not updated !!!
BTW i've just reformatted my 256mb sd card with flashformat two days ago, no problem for the moment but i'm not using navigator now...
Thanks to all
I stand corrected! Partially anyway . . . :wink:
Since I do not use TomTom Navigator (or any other GPS software for that matter) it is conceivable that the software is corrupting the FAT on the SD card.
Have you tried using StorageTools (or other similar software) to scan (automatically fix all errors) and defrag the SD card to see if it has any effect?
Well I formatted the SD card(pdc 256) with storage tool and fixed all errors(tried fat32&16) but the problem still there. The thing remains to try is to uninstall TomTom2 along with the Gps software to see if it solves. :?:
A key point here is that even uninstalling might not solve the problem. It is a sad fact that many times when you uninstall a program, both on PCs and PPCs, it is not uncommon for registry entries to be left behind, unnecessary .dlls and other files to remain, and some files that were overwritten by newer (or older) versions to remain as well. This is why several of us have stressed hard-resetting the device . . . it is the ONLY way to be sure you are starting from a known platform.
SD problems
I've only seen these type of problems if I haven't first formatted the card in the target device first.
Well finally the problem resolved. I should say the hint that mrg2003 gave is really the solution,in other words you should not format the card from the device but rather from the card reader(fat and not fat32) and bingo no more blocks. I should say this forum is great. Cheerz :lol:

I confirm, i formatted my sd with flash format... No problems at all now !!!!
I really don't understand this perfectly right! I have an SD Card and the same problem as all of you state.
What do I have to do? I use the Qtek 2020...
Thanx in advance.
Still have a problem and can someone help me with it!
I formatted the sd card with a lot of tools through the Qtek, like storagetools and flash format.
Afterwards I tried to format through windows format tool!!
But none of them worked and still have the problem of the hourglass..... Can somebody help me? I have a Sandisk 256 MB Ultra II.
Thanx in advance
I posted a few days ago this message : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38829
I asked for a sd card switcher. But no response.
I searched all around the web but in vain.
So I decided to search on my hard drive because I had one for smartphone.
It wasn't difficult to find it and I would try to install it on my ppc (SPV M3000) and... it works very well !!!
It's very useful for battery life. Switch on/off the SD as you want. This soft can't be easier than it is.
Install the .CAB file by executing it on the ppc and find the shortcut of the app in \Start menu\Accessories folder.
Enjoy !
Sorry, didn't see your message. Could have written this for you

didnt work on mine, cab wont even install. any1 to try extracting it for me??
Note, it gets reset when you eject and reinsert an SD card.

almost al my programs and documents are on my 1GB mini-SD card, so I don't think this will be very usefull...
thx anyway!!

i'm at work at the moment (so can't try till tonight)
but, what happens if you have set the camera to save to the card and it's switched off?
Hey, I'm searching how to set the camera to save to the card?
I think if the card is switched off, it will save automatically to the internal memory because of my smartphone it was like this !
answer for the camera please.
THX
You can change that easily in the camera app itself. See :
Teach me: How to save camera pictures directly in MEM. CARD?

i try this on mine.. no luck... cant save battery life then..
Works like a charm here
Did you guys find the sd card was re-enabled on re-inserting?

I've updated my ROM to the new official HTC rom and now my SD card now keeps getting lost! If I remove and replace it, the phone finds it and works fine for a while but then any applications that use the card stop working and when I check the memory, it says "Not Installed". HTC have been their usual helpful selves (not!), when I told them it was a 16Gb Sandisk they said the Jade can only use 4Gb cards. Strange how its worked perfectly for the past 8 months.
On a different note, does Net 3.5 have to installed on the Device or can it go on the card?
Any help would be much appriciated. If not, its Flash time!
Regards,
Woolly.
Just an update on this thread. I managed to get the SD working again but it needed formatting and not just any format. The standard format option on the PC didn't work, had to download a formatting tool. It had also corrupted the card enough to make it difficult to retrieve all of the data on it, so some was lost.
Is the new ROM any good? Can't see much of a differance except for the improvement to Opera. On balance I wouldn't recomend updating.
Woolly.
hi, need some help.
my hd2 freezes at start. hard reset did not worked.
anyone knows how can i reboot it?
apreciate
My device was freezing as well and I just install the latest rom 1.66 and everything works fine now.
Also on xda there mention if your device is freezing even after upgrading the rom. than there might be a problem with the memory card. Try to use the device without the memory card. If it improves than format the card and try it and if same problem than you need to invest in a new memory card
You can install hd2tweak and that has an icon for soft reset. Better than taking the battery out

Hi
I recently bought a Samsung omnia 2. But a strange thing happened that prevented me from installing programs is desired. I am buying this phone was to install a large number of books, but after installing some programs from the phone memory is full and other books can not be installed.
This is strange ; when i install the program on my storage ( ~ 16 gig ) memory the same amount of memory reduce from internal memory ( ~ 150 meg ) ! until the memory become full and critical memory low notification appear .
in the installation process i choose my storage for installation but the amount of internal memory decreased !!
it means that i can install only 150 megabyte of these books . these books are about 1 gig !!
these book installation program started from desktop and continued the installation on my PDA phone . ( Skyscape medical book )
i have Xperia X1 but there is not any problem for installing all of these book
help me please
sorry for my bad english
These books are installed from CAB or an EXE on PC?
Are they in some custom format of PDF/DOC?
Are other programs/games installing fine or they decrease internal storage too?

thanks for your attention
these books are installed from exe but final installation procedure complete from device .
any program installation ( from CAB files ) decrease internal memory too .
i think this is a mistake from sumsung for memory control to prevent huge installation of program !
help me if there is any way to correct this problem for me
I would try a hard reset because it's clearly something wrong with your system. If this not help you could flash another ROM version.
Or maybe you have some backup software running in background?
I'm using stock WM6.5 ROM and have installed ~250MB GPS software with no problems.
thanks
thanks for your reply
hard reset 2 times but the problem not resolved
my windows version is 6.5 stock and any backup program not running .
strange to me too ! probably hardware problem ?
Is this happenning when you're installing to My Storage (not Storage Card)?
Have you tried other microSD card?
It may be a hardware problem. Is your phone under free warranty service?
yes when i try to install on my storage this problem occured. because of 16 gig capacity i don't use memory card separately. there is a warranty service for my phone but it is not normal to me for service my only 1 month omnia !
I have my Xperia for 1 year without any problem and my previous motorola,nokia and sony ericson havenot any problem for years ! this is my first samsung devise and a bad impression
Try an application like Cleartemp or resco explorer (to empty recycle bin) to clear temporary memory .......

thanks , i test this way . hope for problem solving
The problem wont be resolved. This is happening because the installation path has been hardcoded into the cab file. So no matter what installation location you choose, it will install to phone memory, which is limited to around 150 MB. To resolve this problem contact the manufacturer of the software.
