Hello,
I am having a problem with my SD card. I am currently running TripNMiUI Iris 1.09 with baseband .54. The rom is working fine, but it seems tht my 16 GB class 2 micro-sd card is not being recognized by my phone. It recognizes my 4GB class 4 micro-sd card just fine, but when I insert the 16 gb one it doesnt even recognize that I put a card in. Someone please help me. My computer recognizes the 16 gb card and even transfer around 4gb of music to it. Both cards are formatted in FAT32.
when you put your sd card in your phone and go setting>sd card, it should either give you an option to'mount' it, if not, you should be able to 'format' it. you can also download sd tools.apk free on the market, it will look for the card

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.
I have an x10 mini pro with f/w 1.2.A.1.174. Can anyone please tell me if my cell phone can run a 32 gb microSDHC card ? I currently have an 8 gb microSDHC card and it runs without any problems.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I believe it won't. u20i only supports 16 gb
Thanks pabling19. I will try to check it out with my friend.
It supports 16 GB max. Doesnt recognize if you insert 32 GB card. I've tried once.

i dont think that 32gb Sdhc microSD is created by Sony, Kingston if it was then definitely supported coz i myself use 16gb microSD card
Just a quick question, when you install a new microsd, do you factory restore your phone or you can just copy everything from the old to new? Because I'm having problems when I installed a new microSD, my phone restarts frantically whenever I mount/unmount when I'm connected to a pc

Maybe it's better to format the card from your phone, then copy the content of your old SD card.
I asked se support and waiting for answer
I formatted my new card with normal pc formatting tool, put it into phone and it ran no problem.. I didnt have any app installed to card or anything so it was just photos music and stuff aplications create there..
I'm happy with the 8Gb card, for a phone that small.

but i tryed to formate it in phone couple times, with no luck.. then i tried to formate with my default formate tool on my xp pc. formatet it to FAT32. only option i had. FAT32 or exFAT..
after formate with pc i set it in the phone again. and it said its damaged twice then miraculously it mounted it. :O.
i mounted the phone with usb cable and copied everything from old card to it. (Old card 2 Gigs)
apperently it seems to work.. i tryed also to reboot and it mounted the 32GB Sandisk MicroSD HC card..
lets see how long it gonna work..
when i was witing this it rebooted. not sure if its the cards fault. never rebooted b4. hmm

Mine certainly does. Kingston 32GB class 10 works like a charm.
x10 mini pro (u20): 16gb
mini pro (sk17): 32gb
They deleted X10 mini pro page, it did said 32 gb for it, stop saying that it's 16 gb only.
when i inserted 32gb in mini pro it worked very very hard.but 16gb is very very good.
Hey Everyone,
I'm having a slight problem with my new SD card. I just bought a new 16 GB SanDisk Class 2 High Capacity Micro-SD card. Unfortunately though, my Xperia X10a is not recognizing the card. When I insert the card into my phone, the phone acts like there is no SD card installed at all. It's been properly formatted to FAT32 and my laptop recognizes it fine. My phone recognizes my old SD card, a 4 GB PNY Class 4 High Capacity Micro-SD card just fine, but refuses to recognize the new SD card. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thanks!
Format it on the phone....not on the computer.
Settings->SD Card....Unmount if it is mounted....and Format from that menu.
It needs to partition the drive itself properly.
I wish I could do that. But the phone doesnt even recognize that there is an SD card in the phone. It says that the SD card is missing even when I put the new SD card in.
Or if you have everything backed up....start from scratch.
Download and install SEUS from Sony. And reflash from scratch using SEUS.
If you had any app2SDcard app or any apps loaded on your old sdcard, they could be preventing any new SDCard from being added.
Thanks for replying.
I've tried going back to stock but it still seems to be not working. Stock firmware still fails to recognize that an SD card has been inserted.
Is the card any thinner than the old one? If so, add a piece of tape or piece of paper to the back of it, so it fits in the phone snuggly.
When you do a full repair using SEUS and install with the SDCard in the phone, it should auto format the card during the the reinstallation of stock 2.1
Did you actually reinstall using SEUS with the SDCard inside?
Otherwise trade in your new card for another card (make and model should be fine) this time....do not stick the card in your computer. First place it needs to go is in the phone.
Actually...an old post I read on another forum, one guy was successful after he stuck the SDCard in his camera, and formatted the card from the camera...and he was unsuccessfull when he originally formatted the card in his computer.
Thanks so much for helping. Somehow, I managed to get it working. Turns out that the cluster size of my SD card was set to auto, which caused it to have cluster sizes that the phone couldnt read. After reformatting it to 4 kb clusters and FAT32, it was recognized by the phone. Thank you so much!
I have a xperia x10a from AT&T running a generic android 2.3.3 os (since AT&T will not allow anything past 2.1) and it is rooted as well. I have a 32GB micro SD card class 4 that is unbranded. The SD card works great in my computer but will not recognize in the phone. I have tried reformatting the card but it still will not see it. Any ideas?
Have you tried reformat it in phone? Even some no-name sdcard couldnt be recognised in some phones...
I have 32GB Lexar class 10 card and without problems.
i brought micro sd card for my phone it has phone memory 500 mb sd card 2 gb cant remove it and i buyed 16 gb so i want to install apps on my phone to new 16 gb card so i cant do it when i want to change preferred install location here is only 1st phone storage and 2nd 2gb card so what do to install apps on 16 gb card?
P.S i can delete write files on 16 gb card
Are you saying your phone has 2GB internal memory or a 2GB removable SD card? If it's a removable card, all you need to do is copy all the files to a folder on your computer, put the 16GB card in your phone, format it, then copy everything back from the comp to phone.
If the 2GB memory is internal (noted as 'SD card' by the system in some devices), then by default apps are installed here and not on the external SD card (removable card). There are ways to do it though, but they are phone specific and depend on whether a dev has made such a method work for your phone.
