Hi all,
After i upgraded to wm2nd 2.02 from this forum, my t-m mda2 started not to recognize my sandisk 512mb sd card. Anyone experienced this problem? The sd-card works with my card reader but the device does not recognize it.
Thanks indeed
Is there any way to format my sd-card?
yes there is, lot's of tools that do this floatin around on this forum
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.
is prophet 6.1 compatible with SDHC and 8 gb to 32 gb cards anyone?
if someone has achieved anything with sdhc and 8gb to 32 gb detection please confirm it in this thread
is there some specific dll or drivers which took it to be achieved please share.
sandisk http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/sandisk-announces-32gb-ssd-prices-begin-to-fall/
and panasonic http://www.dpreview.com/news/0801/08010806panasonic32gbsdhc.asp
both confirm 32gb cards ,
one important thing i would like to add is windows xp supports formatting in FAT32 only till 32gb beyond that we need partition magic 8 to format cards in FAT upto 80 GB as tested by me (80GB hard drive here)
getting detected is one issue ,formatting is another , and running without errors is third most important issue.
i also saw my prophet incompatible with sandisk 2gb sdhc but it is running 4GB NCP non-sdhc card from last 1 year without any troubles.
there could also be some ways to attatch these 8gb sdhc micro sd (with clips provided)cards to prophet too. i mean one can use sd slot with mini sd and microsd also assumably with clips .
this is important if one plays S2P player like i*p*H*O*N*E or storing tomeraider wiki pedia which already is 3gb plus.
Personnaly I've tested my 4GB Micro-SDHC (with adaptator) from my Artemis to my Prophet with differents drivers found in "developement and hacking" section but never work, not detected.
It seem that the Prophet's card controller is too old and that not a driver issue.
But yes, if people can say their Xperience with that...
I think the hardware will not support it... SDHC hardware uses longer address bits, but 4GB cards can use the normal (no HC) address bits.
Unless you're good with soldering and can get the ICs required, you won't be able to get a Prophet to run a large memory card...
Hello ,

You don't need to load any drivers.
Now you didn't buy your 8GB card off eBay did you?
no , the card is from a nokia 5800 expresmusic, nokia manufacture SDHC 8 gb card , could you tell me what is your rom version , radio , spl/ipl ?

I'm using a 4GB SDHC. It works perfect.

today i have buy an 8 gb kingstone microsdhc card and it`s working perfectly , 10x all for replays.
Seems that the bull**** nokia is not capable to make an universal standard sdhc card :angry:
Hi!
I had a problem today using a micro SD card. I bought a Transcend 4GB Class 6 microsd hc card and the phone didnt recognize it. The HTC support told me that this card is on the compatibility list, but it did not work. Now I bought a Sandisk 1GB microsd card and this one works. any idea to get the Transcend card get working?
Thanks
Chris
hmmm , there is no solution for your problem , you must change your sdhc with another microsd card (from another manufacture) ...
I found out that the 1GB card I use is a class 4 card and the 4GB is a class 6.
Do you think the problem is the class or the manufacturer?
the class have nothing to do with that (if class number is biger - the transfer speed (read/write is better)) maybe not the manufacturer is the problem , maybe that card is not an original Transcend ... is some fake card .... who know ...
I checked the sd card via the genuine test on the Transcend website and its a genuine card. So this cannot be the problem
maybe .... is not compatible , you can try exchange that micro sd with another one from another manufacture , how you see in 1`st post i have somewhat the same problem ... the nokia microsdhc (8gb) card was not reconized , i`ve buy another (Kingstone 8gb microsdhc) and not is working perfectly .
* Note - i have try the microsdhc card before buy it ... so if you can try the card before you buy it
The nokia card is not in the compatibility list for this phone but my transcend card was. Maybe there are some issues with different revisions of the card. So be warned! Dont use Transcend on this phone!
Hi Guys..
M facin a major problem regarding my SD Card..
I have a HTC HD2 as my phone..Few days back I followed the necessary steps and installed Windows Phone 7 on HD2. I was successful in this.
I did not remove my sd card in any of this process. As usual Windows Phone 7 did not give me choice to manipulate the data on my sd card and the sd card was in its control.
Today, I came back to my original Windows 6.5.3 by using the ROM provided by hTC..
My sd card size has reduced to just 200 mb..I did not do nethin wid this..
After which i tried formatting the sd card and stil d same issue..just 200mb..
This is f** crazy ... m pissd on Windows Phone 7..
Can someone please hlp me restore my original sd card size of 8 GB...
Any help wud b appreciated...Thnx in Advance....
For formating your SD use a card reader and SD Formatter 3.0.
Have a look and play with the options.
