Hi. I have just bought an mmc card for my nokia 6230. I tried it and it worked perfectly then i tried it in my XDA and it will not work. Does the XDA 1 support mmc? If so could anyone please tell me how i can set up my XDA to use my 256mb mmc card
cheers
Biggy
Hi Biggy,
The XDA 1 supports MMC and SD cards, but I'm not sure if it supports the high-speed variants such as the 'Ultra' products.
Is your MMC card of a high speed variety?
Codenix.
seem to recall the org mmc std max was 128MB or something
so if the 256MB card is the new and faster mmc then i dont know if it's supported
Hi, i think it might not be working because the card is not formatted. Does anyone know how to format the card. I have not got a seperate card reader.
thanks
Akif
you could use storagetools or pocketmechanics to format if in the pda if it works
I also think its because you put the card in the nokia first then the nokia formatted it for itsself? You can use RESCO file explorer to format a card.
I'm not using MMC card, but i have a high-speed (66X) 1GB Ridata SD card and it works fine in m XDA I.
Hope this helps
I have downloaded resco but cannot see the card when i go to "my device", It is like the card does not exist.
when i click on "memory" in "settings" and then click on "storage card" a message is there displaying "Total storage card not installed"
Any ideas
soz dunno then man... maybe try formatting the card using a card-reader on your pc? gd luck!

He has mentioned in the beginning,that he hasn´t got a seperate card reader. But normally the device is trying itself to format the card. If i insert a sd-card with wron format, i got an popup that asks me, if i want to format the card.
So i would say it´s like Codenix told, that this card woulödn´t work in the XDA....
Stefan
Biggy, do you know anyone else with either another PocketPC with an SD slot, or perhaps a digital camera with one? Many digital camers (I have a Canon) can format cards in FAT format too, so that might work.
Codenix.
I don't know whats wrong with it but previous owner said that they tried a 32mb, 256mb and 512mb card in there before and it worked perfectly. He also stated that card might require formatting but i cannot find an app that can recognise my mmc card. When i insert the card i do not get any sign indicating that the card is working or not working. Is this normal? or is it that the XDA1 does not support 256mb mmc card like some of you said earlier?
Please help - i have just bought tomtom 3 and want to install the maps on the mmc card
Biggy
Biggy, I feel your pain mate; There's nothing worse than money spent on a cool tech item that doesn't work out
I suspect you may have an MMC which simply isn't compatible with the XDA. The XDA definitely supports MMC & SD cards up to and possibly over 1GB, however as I mentioned previously, many current-model cards are of the 'Ultra' variety, which are faster, but also draw more power. It is possible this particular card wants more juice than the trusty old XDA can supply.
I doubt your problem is format-related. As someone said earlier, the card should be detected anyway, and you should be offered the chance to format it - at least that's what is meant to happen.
Is you SD/MMC slot known to be working? Can you get your hands on another card to see if that works?
Worst-case, you should at least be able to try some different cards (I always use SD personally) at a retailer - find one who is agreeable to allowing you to try-before-you-buy, and you'll soon know if the XDA is at fault.
Codenix.
While on the subject, Twinmos mmc cards are also problematic with XDA.

can anyone please tell me how to format mmc card for xda...there's 3 options in win xp ...fat32....fat...ntfs....i cant format it from the xda , keep getting error code 31.....an error occurred while formatting the storage card folder...........thanks
Try formatting to Fat or Fat 32, however if the xda wont format it there may be a problem, make sure the "lock" switch is in the off position. I have had a problem with sd cards before, what I did was a sd backup from the xda, it then seemed to work ok, just deleted the backup and it worked ever after.
theres no lock switch on the mmc card...i've tried storage tools and flash format...the card must be buggered
i have a different problem, but im sure its connected to the formatting somehow! my card only fills up HALF way!
there is 40% more room availble, all scans prooves this, yet i cant add anything to it, im thinking, its the way its formated, was there a 'directory' limit to how many files that can exist in root?
and wasnt it related to the type of formatting? so my question is...
which format/cluster/ect... is best to fully use a 256 card? and 512/1G.?
Hello,
I actually started a topic last week concerning the same thing. i'm copying bits and pieces of it here; it also helps address your concern about which format to use and the sd card limitations. the first point below address which format you should use for the sd card; in this case use FAT. by the way, i use an sd-card reader (usb plugged) to format the card; it shows up as "removable disk e" in my laptop's window's explorer.
1) i'm using a 512 mb card; i was having some difficulty because the memory of the card would only go up to around 300. at first i thought there was a problem with the card itself so i had to constantly erase the contents to make mp3s, files, pics, mpegs, etc fit. then i stumbled upon the pc command for formatting disks; there were 3 options to format the sd card: FAT, NTFS and FAT32. when i used fat32; the behavior was the same and the memory usage would only go up to 300 max. when using ntfs; my xda2 refused to recognie the card (it wouldn't show up in the explorer app). when i formatted using FAT, everything was great. i can now use the sd card to it's limits and am no longer restricted to the 300-mb trouble i was having.
question: what's the difference in the 3 formats? i don't really know but obviously using FAT format was the best thing to do, but what's with the other formats?
2 cents worth.
cheers mates
robson
thanks Robson...but i have sent to back for a replacement....i tried it in my reader but the pc could not see the sd card...so i went out and bought a 128mb card while i wait for the new one to come....had no problems with the 128 worked straight away
thanks for the tip - from now on FAT is to be my solution
one more thing to add, I do have 256MB SD card on my XDA I and WM2003, ver 4.0.21
I can use my 256MB card to the full limit, the card has been formatted with CnetX format utility (www.cnetx.com) with FAT16 and FAT32 and apart from the fact that content has been missing from time to time, so I had to re-load the files ... when I locked the card, everything is fine now
regards,
monika
today I have tested sandisk 512MB SD card ....
I am allowed to fill it up to the full limit of roughly 484MB
I am curious about the other thing .... buying 512MB SD card for its prce it's almost a rip-off and you get only 484MB in return, I remember old times back with IPAQ + PCMCIA sleeve with inserted flash card 1280MB of sandisk - the size written on the back of the card WAS EXACTLY matching what PPC2002 was showing .... 1280MB
to me it seems like either different "disk geometry" or disk format - can anyone explain it to me pls
regards,
monika
I'm just setting up my XDAII (actually a Dopod 696 which I re-ROMed to the latest O2 ROMs). Everything seems to be working fine. However, there is something odd about the "Storage Card" situation.
Even with the SD/MMC slot empty, my Settings/System/Memory/Storage Card applet reports that I have "Total storage card memory" of 14.57 MB. Where is this coming from?
Also, perhaps more worryingly, when I inserted an old SD card (reformatted 32MB one from my Treo 600), the system doesn't seem to "see" it anywhere.
Do any of you gurus out there know why this might be the case?
Thanks very much in advance for any information.
CM
By the way, when I try using Storage Mechanic, it "sees" the "ghost" Storage card, which it is not able to format, but doesn't "see" the real SD card that is inserted into the SD/MMC slot.
Wierd.
Anyone have any ideas?
CM
It's the spare 'flash' memory. When you put a MMC/SD card in you get an addition item in the dropdown list.
Duh. Thanks for the info. However, any ideas why it's not "seeing" my SD card? Do I need to format it in some special way?
AFAIK the card should be formatted as FAT. Don't know if you need to do it or even if it can be done on the PPC. I generally format mine on a laptop before I start.
Hmm. I've been doing the same. Format is FAT (no choice given really), and the notebook sees the SD without any problems. But the XDAII just doesn't seem to recognize it whenever I insert it.
Sigh. I hope it's just a problem with my SD card and not the slot...
CM
If anyone else has any ideas as to why my XDAII doesn't see my SD, do let me know. Thanks again.
What type of SD card is it?
If anyone else is using the same card on their XDAII without a preblem then you can put it down to your SD slot
Ah! .... You did say it was an 'old' 32MB one didn't you? Wonder if the XDAII only accepts SD cards with a certain speed (e.g. 2x, 10x, etc).
My 16MB [Don't laugh ] Toshiba SD card works fine in my XDA II. I haven't tried my 128MB Sandisk one yet.
I would certainly try borrowing a new SD card (any tech-savy friends?) to see if it is "visible" to the XDA II before concluding that the slot is bad. Also, a soft-reset with the card inserted might also help the device recognize it.
Or try the SD card in another XDA / Phone / Digi Cam / PC whatever.
Thanks to all for the comments. The old SD card works fine in my laptop and my Palm. Sigh. I'm going to go look for a new SD card tomorrow and just pray that it's some wierd quirk between this particular SD card and the XDA. I really hope it's not a problem with the SD slot on the XDA (actually a Dopod 696) as it's a nightmare to get things fixed/exchanged here in China.
CM
Had a similar problem a month or two back with a work mates XDA1. He bought an 128MB SD Card (some odd make) which worked fine on his PC but his XDA didn't see it! My Sandisk SD card worked in his XDA fine tho!
is there a maximum size for sd cards in xda's... im having problems with my 4gb sd... is this a common problem?
Its the speed that is the key.
Hi, I had similar probs with Magician and 1gb,2gb, 4gb cards.
Seems that certain devices can't handle SD cards with speeds more than 60X. Most high end cards are 150X.
Finally I got this Kingmax 4gb SD40X card from Dabs.com under £50 and it works in my Magician ,Universal and Himalaya. Hope this helps
PS; If you can try your card in another device at least you can check if the card is faulty.I had one faulty card .I also had a faulty device which had backlight probs and had to go back under warranty for repair !!!!

Official answer from Qtek
After i had problems with TomTom:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Had the same error {map not found} thought it was TomTom error so i bought Destinator (excellent software) but the problem was identical.
So bought a new storage card Contacted Qtek about it:
"Thank you for your E-mail. Regarding your query, please note that the SD card standard is limited to 2 GB and our devices are fully compliant to the standard. Cards with the capacity greater than 2 GB are not compliant to the standard and we cannot guarantee that they will function correctly. As to transferring speed, we recommend not using ultra speed SD cards with the speed more than 64x as they either will not work or may pose problems later. Also we would like to inform you that some SD cards need to be formatted using any PC / Laptop (supporting SD cards) before using with our devices.".
So put in a 45x speed 2GB SD card and still the same problems.
Contacted Microsoft and they gave me a hint:

How about XDA II? I heard it is only support 512Mb
Can anyone tried SD card bigger than 512Mb?
i think it depends on the OS
Hi guys
don't quote me on this but i think the supported size by enlarge depends on the version of ppc/wm you are running...form what i read people with wm5 on their himalayas were happily running 4 gig cards (i think someone may have evn been using an 8gig) but 2003 i think only really likes up to 2 gig.
if someone can confirm this it would be appreciated as i'm looking to get a new card for mine...i'm stuck down in 2k3 so i have full backpack functionality but i'm hoping i can get a 4gig working in there
if anyone is using the 2k3 and has a 4gig working all fine and dandy please let me know which rom ver you are using and which card you are using so i at least have some idea what is possible.

Hi, Flakey software from TomTom. I have XDA IIs with 1GB and 4GB SD cards. TomTom v6, Western Europe maps, two voices, GB postcodes and satellite images sneaks into 1GB card.
TomTom wouldn't install to 4GB card, using 1GB SD card and TomTom Home software product I performed a backup. Then restored backup to 4GB card. Yes TomTom and maps work with the 4GB SD card.
However, when attempting TomTom Home back up from 4GB card software message says "No data to backup". Thats what I call flakey software and where are software updates for v6.01?

TomTom Navigator 6 - TomTom - Home software product doesn't like the 4GB SD memory card very much. Then again TomTom navigator 6 doesn't like the 2GB SD micro memory card either oh what fun
2GB cards DO WORK with Xda IIs and XDA II mini
The issue posted on the Microsoft Site isn't really related to the size of the SD card inserted - here's the updated URL by the way: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/277742
I've found that my XDAIIs does support a 2GB card - the main problem that I had was formatting it. The trick is that the card has to be formatted as 2GB (or max capacity) BEFORE inserted into the device, otherwise problems will occur. When I formtted the 2GB SD card in my device, it indicated that the card was a 2GB card, but 1GB of the sectors on the SD card were marked as bad (just run a DOS chkdsk command on the card following such an operation on the PC). To format the card properly, you'll need a SD card reader/writer that copes with cards > 1GB. I've also got a SD card reader in my Fujitsu latop (built in), but it only supports up to 1GB. Most of the latest USB multi-format card readers should work with the large capacity. So, to get it to work:
1) Ensure that you have a SD card reader on the PC that supports >1GB capacity
2) Format the card on the PC in the reader/writer
3) Validate that the format was successful by running the DOS chkdsk command on the SD Card - ensure there are no bad sectors
4) Then insert the SD Card in your PPC
I know for a FACT that a 2GB card works in both an XDA IIs card, and an Xda II mini device, as I've had both working.

To the forum,
Lately I've been having an intermittent problem where Windows Media Player Mobile doesn't "see" the storage card anymore [where the songs are stored]. All other apps on the card run fine. Pocket Mechanic Pro v2.50.199 shows no problem with card. A friend stuck in his storage card & media Player "saw" the card??? I reformatted the SD card using Pocket Mechanic Pro and checked that Media Player could see the card. I have a /My Documents folder on Sd card.
Three weeks later, the same problem is occuring, Media Player can't see the storage card. If I remove the SD Card and reinsert it, a media player dialog box comes saying a SD card was inserted, do you want to search the card for music and video. I say yes and it finds the 45 songs but hangs in trying to build a library of them. It finally returns with no songs and unable to see the SD card.
The SD Card is a 1GB SanDisk micro SD card about 8 months old.
Any thoughts out there?

Another question for the group: Pocket Mechnic Pro (PMP) has the ability to set the FAT and Cluster size when formatting the storage card. Could it be I have the wrong FAT-cluster combination? PMP supports formating a fat of FAT12, FAT16 & FAT32 and cluster sizes from 1 sector, 512B up to 128 sectors, 64K.
Any recommendation on FAT/Cluster combination to use for my SanDisk 1GB micro SD Card?
Thanks Craig
hi all
i haven't use my xda2 for long time, and recent wm6 bring my interest back on.
The stoneage sd card i'm using is 256m, and all in suddent i found a tool which says support the SDHC with XDAII. and can someone have SDHC plz try this tool on the device. The tool is harmless I swear, and only designed for the SDHC, NORMAL SD CARD WILL DISPPEAR from the device after installation as I tried on my 256 card, after uninstallation and it works again.
Please post reply if it works(with your device) and i'm gonna grab a SDHC for my XDAII. Thank you very much in advance!
Please always run virus check after download for your own safety.

From the beginning we have problem with the cards. You can find more info in (http://www.modaco.com/content/toshi...m/291115/toshiba-tg01-memory-card-corruption/).
Try to format your card and start from 0.

Wen I bought my TG01 it show me just 1GB and the card was 8GB then I find some info that you need to format y our card but I didn't find now where is this info. In the modaco web you can find more info and in google about this.
ive tried formatting it several times, the phone picks up the card fine when in winmo, i just cant flash any roms with it as the SDDL cant mount it.

To format your card use (“sdfv2000.exe”) I uploaded for you. Try it if not working I have an other solution.
Same Issue.
I have been having the same issue since day 1. Has driven me insane with program's icons that are loaded up on the sd card not showing up properly in the start menu, they always have a blank icon on them. Has really driven me crazy. Has anyone found a solution to this?
try and use sddl+ to flash the rom instead of just sddl

Thank you for your advice however I already tried that potential solution and many different roms and radios, I tried formatting my SD card with the Panasonic sd card format utility, but no luck. Would getting a class 10 Kingston card be a smart idea? Or maybe I need to buy a slower Transflash card? I have a 4GB Class 6 from SanDisk but the same error occurs. Do I and the other people have defective phones, or is this an issue that can be solved? What should I do?

I've never had a problem with SD Card. Now I bought a 16GB Kingston Class 10. I have no problem with the card, work properly.
Getting a class 10.
Tell ya what, I will get the class 10 cuz more space is always good, I will let everyone know if it has solved the problem. Before I do this, I am just going to buy an el-cheapo class nothing sd card and see if the same problem occurs and then I will have tested the range so to speak. I will report anything interesting.

Hello all!
I'm not able to post in the development forum (since I'm a noob with less than 10 posts ).
I just moved from the 182 CM7 Nightly on my Vibrant to the Passion ICS v10.
Everything is running pretty darn smooth and thing I thought i'd be missing from CM7 are not really bothering me.
The issue I'm having is with my 8GB external SD card. I'm getting the standard SD Card is empty of has an unrecognizable filesys.
1. I've tried formatting through Storage menu, recovery menu, blackberry and an adapter.
2. I've tried all the tricks on the forums.
The build is not recognizing the card for some reason. I plug the card into my Blackberry and its fine.
I took the 2GB card from the blackberry and put it in the vibrant and it immediately recognized it and mounted w/o a hitch.
Is there a size issue/bug w/ the external SD?
Have you tried taking the SD card and plugging it into your computer, and then formatting it from there?
EDIT: I just tried it with my 8GB microSD card. It looks like mine's not being recognized either.
I'm not running ICS, but maybe it just doesn't support that much on an SD? Just throwing out ideas and maybes.
That would be really silly. Not supporting 8GB SD card .
Kept trying a few more tricks. Still have the same issue.
Also, when I added the 2GB the internal unmounted. Have to go in and manually mount the internal after external mounts (just the first time).
This is a just a heads up.

I have 2 128mb, a 2gb (that came with the phone) and a 4gb and 8gb sdhc of the same brand... the 8gb and one of the 128mb dont get seen (and the 128s are identical) ive tried formatting in fat16 and fat 32 and ntfs and even mac os x journaled lol and nothing worked... i then returned to cm7 and formatted from there... went back to ics passion v9.2 and then v10 and cm9 and ssame exact symptoms... so idk.. its not because of sdHC, it doesnt sseem to be filesystem and the 128mb thing just really blows my mind..
Hope we get an answer

Hello all!
I'm not able to post in the development forum (since I'm a noob with less than 10 posts ).
I just moved from the 182 CM7 Nightly on my Vibrant to the Passion ICS v10.
Everything is running pretty darn smooth and thing I thought i'd be missing from CM7 are not really bothering me.
The issue I'm having is with my 8GB external SD card. I'm getting the standard SD Card is empty of has an unrecognizable filesys.
1. I've tried formatting through Storage menu, recovery menu, blackberry and an adapter.
2. I've tried all the tricks on the forums.
The build is not recognizing the card for some reason. I plug the card into my Blackberry and its fine.
I took the 2GB card from the blackberry and put it in the vibrant and it immediately recognized it and mounted w/o a hitch.
Is there a size issue/bug w/ the external SD?

might be something specific to your card...im on ics 16 gb sd card working perfectly. loving ics !
I have a 16gig Ext SD card and I am having the same issue. So frustrating!
im using an 8gb and it works just find. but to acces the files on the SDcard i look under "emmc" or "mnt/emmc" or "home/emmc" (depending on which file browser you use).

Obviously this question is turning to be a bug. There is confirmation from several users with the same problem.
I have a 4Gb micro sd Patriot and seems to be OK.
You have to look into emmc folder.
Wow , thanks for the awesome pointers that I should look into EMMC folder (sarcasm btw).
The bug is about the SD CARD NOT BEING MOUNTED and reporting as blank and having a non-supported filesystem.
The card in question works fine on the PC and 2 other phones one of the Vibrant with stock ROM.
I only want to help.
I understand your point but we want to exclude options. Can you try another SD cards in this same phone?

Me too
I'm also having this problem. Have tried multiple cards in multiple format options. None of them mount, it just gives me a "Damaged SD card" error notification when I try to mount manually. Freaking sucks I can't use my 32gb card anymore.

Have you tried smaller ones like the original 2gb that came with the phone? It should work for you
Btw, just general info, I fixed my 128mb with SD formatter program so that just leaves my 8gb unworking.. and sdformatter had no effect on the 8 gb

I had the exact problem mounted/unmounted I could still read on PC's. It seems this ICS can't handle symbols (external_sd, etc) in filenames - food for thought!
I have the same problem!

I have the same problem with ICS Passion with my 8gb Sd card.
I can see the files and open them but for an example, when trying to play them in the music player (google music or winamp) I can't.
Any Ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks...
