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.

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.

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!
Hi,
I would like to format my micro SD card, but I don't know how to.
I know that there is an option that says " clear storage" but it is for internal storage only ? or can format as well the sd card?
I haven't any card reader on my pc, so I have no idea about how to do it from Hermes itself. .

Keep your micro sd in card reader , you can format it only from pc.(buy one card reader)
if you want format micro sd from device , you need a 3d part application , but from pc is better.

The resco explorer, has a format storage card utility
I have done it already, and works fine.
pocket mechanic works well, also finds errors, cleans up, makes coffee etc
If you're on XP, just right go into disc management, find the card, right click, and choose format...likely a similar method on Vista, but I haven't used it.
No third party tools needed, etc.
Edit, oops my bad, I misread that you didn't have a card reader for the pc.
Another vote for Resco explorer btw, I couldn't live without it.
Well, I got 4GB Micro SD. Formatting (FAT32) done through PC but never been possible through Artemis by any of the softwares mentioned here. The SD works fine under windows, but I gatta take it out in every new ROM or Radio flashing. Is there any way to make it being seen by Artemis DOS system?
Thanks

Delete the folder "MSMETADATA" on your storage card and do a soft reset and that should work
Unless of course the sd card has failed... I had one or two do that... All you have, if the pc won't recognise to format, is a lump of plastic.... You'll have to get a new one...
phone no longer recognizes sdhc card
Okay, guys I flashed my hermes this morning with this
http://rapidshare.com/files/2179382...1.255.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship.exe.html and now it no longer recognizes any of my micro sd nor my micro sdhc cards. They come up on the computer but not on the device. I even installed the sdhc.777 cab and it still doesn't work. Help please...
refuse2bstopped, try a different os... If that doesn't work you may have a broken or misaligned pin in your usb reader on the Hermes. It may also just be dirty or have some corrosion on it. If you want to clean it use a cotton bud and some isopropyl alcohol (surgical spirits). DON'T USE METHYLATED SPIRITS... It leaves a residue.
Cheers...
sir...
im just wondering if my mini sd is busted and it has no use anymore..
why can my camera still recognize that there is still a memory card installed in to my unit that its even asking me to either save the picture's towards my unit or mmc
im just wondering if it can still be recognized by my unit can i still fix it/format it so that i could use it again...??
i know your the expert on this that's why i thought of asking you this..
thanks for reading my msg'
I like to look at things step by step
1. SD card isn't recognised by Hermes - not even detected...
2. Camera detects it - did you try taking a few pictures and seeing if it actually wrote them to the card? I had a phone that registered the card but kept throwing up "sd card corrupt" every time I tried to use it.
3. Does a PC recognise the sd card when inserted into a card reader? If you don't have 1 I'd make this a priority to get, a friend of mine bought one off ebay for $5 AUD including postage...
If the pc recognises it maybe you should reformat it fat32. remember to backup any data first...
4. If the pc and camera have no problem then I'd start suspecting the Hermes... I have two sd cards so I have no problems testing but you may need to either get a smaller card - I use a 512 for flashing the os, or find someone who can lend you theirs to test. If the 2nd card reads then either the card is bung or the Hermes has a problem with it (incompatibility has been known to happen). Clean the card reader as best you can with isopropyl alcohol and a piece of cloth. There may be some type of corrosion or dust on the sd card reader contacts.
These are the steps I have taken to work out if the sd card or Hermes is a fault. Generally I find its the card (happened once to me and once to a friend).
Hope this helps...
Cheers...
Been through this. Very recently, actually. Like, last night.
I don't have a microSD reader and I found myself needing to reformat my microSD in my Hermes to FAT32. I was trying to do SD flashes. Long story.
Anyway, know what I did? I used WM5torage. As long as your ROM is functional and your SD card isn't wasted, activate WM5torage and have WinXP format your "USB Mass Storage Device" for you through My Computer. It only affects the SD card.
I mean, it worked for me.
sd 2gb
i have i sd 2gb card, my pc can see it and use it but only on fat format. i cant format fat32, i get an error(not able to complete). i cant see or use it at all on my phone. (the only selection i have to format (on my pc) is fat,fat32, default unit size)
please help, so i can use the card on my pc and phone
edit:i have searched and the only thing i saw was prog. to format sd, that prog let my pc to see the card, but lost the ability to see it in my phone. (sorry i dont remember what the prog was)
A very good (shareware) 3rd party programm comes from softwinter (storage tools)
rgs
If the PC picks it up, right click on the sd card and select format. Make sure its fat32 though. Easiest thing to do... NO 3rd party apps needed...
i guess i wasnt clear enough. my pc comes up with an error "not able to compleate" when i try to format my card in fat32 (that is when it is in my pc), but i can format fat (but thats no help for me). if i put the card in my device, it doesnt see it, so if i link my device to pc, pc doesnt see the card. so still cant format via pc.
i tried 3rd party as noted, as i thought, if my device cant see it the app cant see it.
thanks for trying, but still in the same boat.
it is a new card too, im woundering if i bought a bum card and i should return it for a new.
any suggestions welcome
Reboot pc then try again... I've had this happen too and a reboot seemed to fix the problem. Just a psychotic computer problem...Sometimes pcs can be..... TROUBLE..
Cheers...
i tried that again, still doesnt work. but i did see autoplay run this time, i think that may be my prob.. 2 progs. trying 2 run on the same source at the same time. now trying to find a way 2 shut it off (like i really need it anyway)
i have recently bought a TG01, when i got it it was running the orange WM6.1 rom, it wouldnt detect either my 4GB or 8GB micro sd cards, i had to lend a 1GB card to run the official 6.5 update, now the 4 and 8gb cards are detected but whenever i try to flash a rom i get SD Mount error after it loads the SDDL. anyone know why this would happen and if it could be due to that its been partitioned for use on a hero previously?

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.

Try to format your card and start from 0. I had this problem but don't remember with witch program I format the sd card. 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
Already did that.

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.

Hi, i have my HTC hero rooted with the last Villainrom 12.0.0, i recently bought a new micro sd card 32gb and i dont know why but after i transfer data to my sd card i can see it, taste it, use it with no problems, but when i put the sd card into my phone some files get missing, i dont know why, but they just dissapear, may get into some kind of trash folder hidden into the card, but they are just gone...
i tried eather mounting the sd from my phone trough USB and retrieving the card from the phone and pluging it into the sd card reader in my pc, it doesnt matter, the problem stays.
i thougt may be it was some problem with the partition, i had the partition to use apps2sd, ext3 and all the crap, but the issue was still there, then i formatted in my pc fat32, still the problem, and finally formatted trough my phone fat32 and the problem persists, i dont know if maybe some software on my phone is making this happen or anything...
i dont know what to think, i know my sd card is ok becouse i used it filled with data and had no problems before...
please help me.... im gonna cry
I have exactly the same problem with my HD2... trying to upgrade from 8bg micro SD to 2gb micro SD.... everything copies across (or so it seems) however all the files in the 'program files' folder haven't come across, nor has my TOMTOM gps folder files..... ?
I've tried everything I can think of, why can I not copy card to card via my PC.... I'm sure it was simple when I changed from 2gb to 8gb cards.
Any help very much appreciated.

Transcend 8 GB Class 4 micro SD

Questions go to the Q&A, not General section.
To me, it seems like SD issue, because it happens on both computers.
