Hi there,
I have an O2 XDA with the Qtek ROM (not the official O2 ROM). I have just bought a HAMA 128 SD Card. In my laptop's SD reader it works fine, but nothing happens in my XDA. In the settings / memory / storage card section in pocket pc 2002 it says NOT INSTALLED. Anyone who has an idea what the problem could be?
Please help me out because I want to install my TOMTOM software
Thanx
Michael
download this SD card tools , and reformat it ON the xda

Thanx for the tip my friend. I have already solved the problem in a different way. My father had an SanDisk 128 MB in his camera, i am now using that one, it works fine, the HAMA SD works fine in his camera also.

its still a good utility .
not only it formats, but scan & correct file enteries too.
like ScanDisk or norton utility
Lexar SD-Card 256 MB doesn't work
Hi,
I've just bought a Lexar SD-Card with 256 MB, but my XDA didn't recognize it. It seems that no SD-Card is loaded. In my PC Card-Reader and a Camera it works fine. I also have no problems with a Traveller 128 MB-Card.
Also the StorageTools mentioned before didn't see the Card :-(
What can I do? Is the old XDA (bought 1 year before) not able to work with 256MB?
Thanks for your help ...
Frank
i'm not sure if its the sd cards or the xda itself!
mine sometimes dont recognize New cards unless i reformat them.
but mine also sometimes dont see my SD-CAMERA card!
after repeated re-inserts, it works fine. then stops again.
so im realy not sure What the real issue here.
however... since the cards work fine on a pc
re format them on a pc.... fat16. and try.
i hope someone else out there has the solution for us.
good luck.
Seems that the Brand SanDisk works perfectly. Other brands seem to give troubles sometimes. That's what i have experienced.
Good luck!

Hi everyone,
I have a Siemens SX 56 (North American version) running the latest ATT WM 2003 official rom. I have the latest T-mo Radio Stack on it (6.24).
I bought a new Lexar 256 Mb SD card (32x write speed). I saved a whole bunch of mp3'z and stuff on it. The SD card works fine for some time, but then the phone seems to erase all data on it every once in a while! I searched the forums and someone suggested using "storage tools" program and formatting the card with "backup FAT" method.... I have done that too.... It has erased all data on my SD card twice after that as well..... Someone else suggested that you should exit all applications that open on the SD card (or are using the SD card) before you turn it off. I do that too. Even then I have lost all data.
My question is what can I do to correct this? Is the Lexar card the problem? Should I try Sandisk? Sandisk is actually a bit cheaper too..... I can exchange the card for that. Kindly reply quickly and let me know what I can do to fix this issue. Thank you.
Just had it happen to me on my SX56 using WM2003 Beta and a SanDisk 512mb card. Lost everything. Thought it might be the card but now I'm wondering...
Gonna try and replicate the problem.

some time ago I had similar problems with Lexar faulty card, but that seemed to be somewhere explained in that forum that ultimately it has been not card problem but .... wm2003, hehe :lol:
I know it sounds strange ..... if I can manage I point you to the right postings .....
regards, monika
ps. I have solved termorarily my problem by simply locking SD card :wink: and then after changing Lexar for Sandisk problems stopped
Bpd, there is a hisory of spontaneous formatting of memory cards ever since WM2003 came out, it wasnt just confined to XDA either, I saw a few posts in other pocket pc forums with the same problem, some people put it down to installed themes.

Use the little white switch on the side of the card to lock it!
Also its been reported that if you label the card after formating it you wouldn't have this problem. Personally I'd do both! :wink:
BTW whats the time frame on the erase after you did the upgrade?
HTH
Problem occured same day as upgrade... and now last night again.
Fortunately I made a backup of everything on the SD to my PC and have now just restored it.
I did not "label" the SD this time... just "locked" it.
See what happens this time.

Not sure, but you can try research on the highest capacity a Wizard can take. And, take note of possible scam on high cap unbranded memory cards. E.g. try copying full 4GB contents into the card, just to make sure it is now a scam card.
ok copied up to 3.88 gb of mp3s so its pretty much a 4gb. I stuck the mini sd into a old pda Acer N30 (adapted) and it seems to work fine. Seems like the card is the problem as i have no problems using my old 512mb mini sd. Apparently its a samsung card. Im really stumped.
Had the device for a few weeks now. Randomly the sd card was dismounted. No biggie, was able to mount it with a remove/insert or reboot.
Suddenly today it isn't possible to find, mount or read anything from it.
Can't read it through an usb-stick in the pc either. So the only possible reason is either a bad sd-card? Or the hero destroyed it?
Edit: This was a none branded 6 class 8gb. So my advice is to stay away from the bulk cards.
Back up all your stuff - which fortunately I had done
Exactly the same thing has happened to me 8gig class 6 etc. now unreadable -- interested in the reponse / cure suggestions from others on the site.
Well,well. I have a 16gb Sandisk card. Has been running perfectly in a Touch HD. Now is running in my Hero.
Turned on the phone this morning and it wants to format it. Lost alot of my photos so now I am worried.
This has never happend to me before with a quality card
If you can format it, it will still be accessible.
This has just happened to me. 8gb class 6 unbranded card is not recognised by the phone so I can't format.
It has happened in the past, but i could format, or restarting fixed it.
Any ideas, will trying over and over fix it?
My new 8gb trendmicro card keeps on unmounting after a couple of minutes. Any idea whats wrong? Faulty card or hero bug?

Same happend to me today with a ScanDisk 8GB class 2 card
Possibly it's a specification/compability problem, perhaps something related about hybernation specification.
I have two Nokia SDHC 8G cl6 absolutly incompatible. When the phone going to sleep, at 3-4 min sd is unrecognizable and megacrash ... A2SD is very unstable and when I had formatting all with FAT32, crash with bad structure file system in hybernation mode, loss data,......
The Chaos.
I will try with Kigston 8G cl6, I have good references about on it.
NOKIA never more...
***Using MoDaCo 2.0e ROM***
Sorry for my english
I have two 8GB Sandisk MicroSD card killed by my HD2 (i think so). Anybody faces the same prob? The cards are totally dead now after using it in my HD2 for a few days...
No such experience.
Good to know the Bland and model.
You mean brand?
Try to format it on your pc...
I had the same Isue.. could not format it on xp pc only on windows 7 pc..
mos of the time if you let you put it in your card reader and its recognized.. you just have to let it scan for errors and let it fix them..
Sometimes my cardreader fails to detecet my card. I don't think this is related to my HD2, atleast I don't hope so.
Not had it...yet...on my sandisk 8GB MicroSD. This is the one straight out of a Nokia 5800. The 2GB one which cam with my HD2 went tits up after I tried to import a playlist from WMP onto it. Seems I'm not alone with this issue either...
For the first time I can report a problem with my HTC HD2.
I also seem to have a problem with my 8Gb Scandisk card. It seems either my telephone or my laptop screwed the card up.
I have standard stock last rom available in Holland manilla 2.5 Rom 1.66. No special things installed.
The card works almost 100% except when I go to the tap music. Then hell breaks loose. The phone looks for the music files. But cannot find them and then suddenly the phone cannot recognize the card anymore? I have to restart the phone before it can recognize the card again. This only happens when I go to Music.
But the damage is done anyway. Cause when I insert card in laptop or computer. I can see the files but according to the computer there empty (which is not the case). I cannot copy or cut while in card is inserted in the computer.
I accepted this problem cause I have a good working TomTom on it which someone else installed for me. If I format the card I cannot put it back.
Try to format your card, I did this from my laptop (if it can reorganize it) and NOT chose FAST. Becouse if there is a problem with the card it will simply skip it. This is also a golden rule when you install new OS on a old or well used laptop.
Copy the tomtom folders to a folder on your PC before formatting, then copy back...done
I have a 8GB Sandisk card, I've had it on 3 plones now, using it for about 3 years, still works like a charm.
To the OP, maybe you got fake ones, Sandisk is the most counterfeit memory card brand, if you got them on ebay or so and not in a respectable street shop they might be fakes, for which that kind of failures are typical.

I have this problem, and I went back to HTC. I got a new phone replacement and everything is fine thereafter. =)
I had a problem with 3 different Kingston 8GB cards.
Statred working fine, but after writing more then 2GB to them, they suddenly died.
I tried all of them in the phone and in a card reader, and they acted the same way.
As a final test - I used a SanDisk card, and it works just fine from the time I got it.
So - maybe, you just have defective cards ?
Did you try formatting the cards in the phone and not in the PC ?
I have the same problem. If i put the files on my sd card from my pc there seem to be no problem. After I check these files on my phone, they are damaged or the folder is empty. So.. anyone has suggestions what to do?
Same experience here.
8Gb was working fine the first two days (the card that was included with my HD2)
Then, for no reason got a pop-up (invalid card type, do you want to format?)
At forst I said "no" and tried with my computer... None of the 6 software I used could save my card. Was definatly dead.
Put a second one in (1Gb, just to make sure), it's been a week, and I already get errors when I write. It's like the micro SD is on read only (though ther's no switch to set it back to "write mode")
One of the many (many many many) bugs of my HD2
i had the same problem. the 8gb SanDisk microsd card that originally comes with my htc hd 2 is now useless. lost a lot of pics, cab & songs. it can't even be read by card reader on my laptop. is this some kind of bug?? now im using another 8gb card & hope it wont happen again. im glad though that im not the only one having the problem
And i thought i was the only one. My 8GB only lasted for 1 day before it went died. Had to get a replacement from Service Center. The staff seem to handle it in a very fast manner (guess i am not the only one to get the SD card replaced recently!!)
My guess is i did a hard reset on the phone with the SD card in it. Anyone else did the same thing?
My card has been corrupted twice no the HD2 leading to:
1) Very poor performance
2) Very warm phone
3) Very fast draining battery
I believe it was due to the power saving features enabled to do with the microsd as someone else mentioned on this forum.
its a manufactures defect. something should be done. lots of users are getting this problem now,including me
maybe i know the answer..
sorry for my bad english..
I've the same problem. But searching from all forums, finally i get the answer. just find n download EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Proffessional 4.3.6 (for 5 MB). Insert the mmc in card reader, use this software to recovery all the missing file (choose Complete Recovery Option). After recovery process done, use software LLFTool (for 600kb, just doing some browsing at google) to Low Level Format the mmc (this LLFTool can recognize the mmc). After all done, Windows can recognize again the mmc at windows explorer. Just right click and choose quick format (format FAT32). Done, you can use the mmc like the new one

thanks for your help. i tried your solution but it doesn't work. neither the EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional nor LLFTool detect the memory card. i think there's nothing to be done for the card. just hope htc will sort that out
I have also recently had an issue with my 8gb Sandisk Micro SD card.
It has been working fine for a while now, then yesterday when I went to pick up my phone, I noticed my S2U2 unlock screen was black instead of having my usual wallpaper there. My HD2 had just suddenly decided it can't recognise the card anymore and tells me I need to format it for it to be readable.
I pressed 'no' and tried to read the card on several computers as I wanted to transfer all data off before formatting it, but it would not read on any of them, nor would it work in my old N95.
I don't understand why this has happened, it has been working fine no probs, had about 3gb left on it still and have not recently installed anything on it - very annoyed as I have lost lots of recent photos of my 6month old boy which I cant get back now.
Have had to order a new card and hope this doesn't happen again, but not a happy bunny
Hello ,
I guess i ****ed up my microSD card .
I had one 16 Gb A-data microSD card and for whatever reason , i try to format for APP2SD , that special partition, ext 3 or whatever .
But... not just i was not able to make it work , but when i tried to make it the way it was before ... it was stucked or seems to be a ireversible process.
I tried different methods but not one seems to work . I got to make a mention that the card was working just fine before i had that stupid idea.
No matter what , now windowx is showing to have only 1gb capacity, but... when i tried to format that 1 gb , everytime it fails.
flashnull , HPUSBDisk, SDFormatter, MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition, linux Gparted , every single tool i was thinking of was useless.
You guys are my last hope .
Thanks in advance for your help ...
Actually, the more you format it, the more harm you make, because sd cards are very sensitive when it comes to formatting them. I've successfully killed my 4gb microsd that way
Sent from my LG-P760 using xda app-developers app
so , i understand that is NO solution to this problem ?!
Well, as far as I know, no, but I might be wrong as well
