I have an O2 xda mini S. Just put a mini SD card into it yesterday. Now Media Player keeps popping up asking if it should scan the card for files. I've said yes once, but it keeps asking the same question! The question seems only to be asked after I resume from 'off'. help please! How can I stop this without taking the card out?
Seems to be a problem with certain roms. I have no problems with my qtek with media player and minisd card. did hear it was a problem with some earlier models. so maybe a rom upgrade will cure your problem.
Been on to the O2 site. Seems I'm running their latest ROM
hmmm need to know if other mini s have this problem. so calling all mini s owners anyone else have this problem??
you may need to do new post calling mini s owners
I have this problem too, with a new UK T-Mobile MDA Vario (latest release ROM). Exactly the same symptoms, Media Player pops up after I wake the device up from the power-save sleep mode with a box saying that a new memory card has been inserted and do I want to scan it for files. It's a brand new (empty) Sandisk 2Gb Mini SD card. This doesn't happen after every power-on, and subjectively I think it seems most likely to occur when the device has been dormant for a little while.
hi everyone, i have T-mobile MDA USA, and i have noticed that everytime i try to copy large files (50Mb and up) from my PC to my SD in my phone through active sync cable it is taking forever...it is really pissing me off, when i use my card reader to transfer files it is a lot faster...does any one know what could be the problem? i thought the MDA has USB 2.0 isn't it supposed to be fast!!??
please help.
thanks
It's simply a bug with these phones which badly manage ActivSync ... The only solution is to use an external card reader as you do
:wink:
bought a new 512mb Kingston Mini sd card . I cannot seem to transfer anything to it. Both my PC and the Wizard `see' the card and register the correct size but I cannot transfer anything to it. Any help appreciated. I read somewhere you need to format a new card on the wizard ??? how do I do this
:roll:
you can use StorageTools
Hi Pat thanks for the reply.
What is the executable file you suggest ? is it for using on my PC or the wizard? whats the method ?cheers
its the desktop instalation of storage tools.

download link - http://www.softwinter.com/download.html
Its just pat hotlinked the exe file
yes, sorry. My post could have been a bit more explicit. By the way, what do you mean when you say you can't transfer anything to your card?
Is it just using ActiveSync or did you try your card on your PC with a card reader? If you do have a card reader then you don't really need storagetools . Just format it on your PC and it should be allright.
Another solution is to get WM5Storage (see this post) It will turn your Wizard into a USB drive so that you can copy files without the hassle of activesync or play music files on the card from the desktop, and since it will be seen as a usb drive...format it!
The guy who came up with WM5storage is a genius, I had been looking for this kinf of software ever since I had my fisrt smartphone years ago
Good luck
Hi Pat thanks thats brilliant.
I use a USB reader for the card but it is placed into a SD holder first because my 7:1 PC reader doesn't accept mini SD .
I can see the card and it registers the correct size 512Mb It seems to be accepting drag n drop in explorer and I can see the burn led writing to the card.
When I put it in the wizard it registers the card and offers to find the files so far so good. It then sees the files and transfers them to `libray'?but they don't show up in either the wizard's explorer or win media ?
well that was an interesting 15 minutes :shock:
Clicked on the link Danny gave and got a lockup followed by a BSOD from which the only escape was pull the power lead and reboot. I would advise anyone to treat with caution.
Hello again peanut!
You mean that just by clicking on a the link you got a BSOD? Amazing!
Back to your SD Card, have you tried 3rd party file explorer such as gsfinder (my favorite) or resco explorer to see if they access your card properly? And also try TCMP instead of WMP. For one, it's much better anyway and I've read somewhere (here I guess) that some people had trouble getting WMP to "see" their media files on the SD. Anyway, I guess it would be a good idea to reformat you card in either FAT32 or FAT16 with 512 bytes cluster so as to waste the minimum amount of storage
It may be related to a prolem I have periodically with firefox not loading . Ithink zone alarm is involved as well so I may need to re-install the lot
thanks for the suggestion about TCMP and yes I'll try a fresh format see what happens cheers
The link in my post was found by right clicking Pat12's link and looking at the URL.
All the links are from the same website and i seriously doubt anything is wrong with any of them, check your firewall as it can interupt file transfers and cause things to hang.
My mini sd card and my friends weren't working for banana's. untill i formatted them on the pc unsing a card reader. now they work fine.
never found out why the cards weren't correctly formatted to start with, guess i'm not bothered as they work great. they were also kingstons
thanks for your input RJ webb I'll try a re-format.
Danny your link is fine it was probably my zone alrm plus the drive had gone to sleep lol no blame mate just thanks for your help
Is it a branded card, where did you get it from?
I bought a 2gb unbranded one and it sometimes doesn't show up in the device, and sometimes corrupts the data on the card - so I assume its faulty/dodgy.
I've ordered a sandisk one to replace it with, hope that one works better.
Hi Scotland its a Kingston card I bought off ebay. Probably a crap card knowing my luck. I'll try re-formatting it on another computer maybe that will help.

I hate to ask the obvious, but is it locked with the little switch?
ha ha not so obvious actually because it was at first before I noticed it had a lock the other day. Thanks for the suggestion
Is there any other way of putting music and other types of files on my wing besides using active sync since that never worked for me. I don't know why it just wont recognize my phone. And is there any way of accessing the micro sd card from the computer? thanks
Hi, I need expert person help. I got HTC Shift from Ebay.
