Dear all,
I have installed ppc 2003 and tested its stability for 3 days. The followings are what I found bugged in this rom version.
1. For Some times the ppc won't turn on again after the screen turns off or after pushing unit turn-off button. I had to soft reset the unit to make it running again. This has happened to me quite a few times after I sync with my PC
2. My sd card was totally erased for several times, even the 'detect digital camera' option in the picture program had been deactivated.
So far, I only have these 2 inconsistencies. And after some trials here and there, here is the possibility of the error causes
1. Ppc 2003 doesn't work with window 98 even though the activesync 3.7 does. So try avoid sync through pc with ms 98.
2. I think that due to some incompatibility between the xda hardware and the inherent options in the ppc 2003 (my best guess is the bluetooth and digital cam option) that encompasses the functionality of sd slot, sometimes we'll find data in sd card being erased w/o warnings. I have also found out that programs that act itself as driver b/w the xda and other external hardware such as the external keyboard driver can also cause such a sd formatting problem.
Can anyone confirm my findouts? Any comments are extremely welcomed
Please post your ROM, RS and Protocol Versions.
dear,
I just happened to have my sd card erased again, pls help why?
rom version 4.00.01 eng
radio ver 4.21.00
protocol 32S54
please help ou
Dear all,
I think my conclusion to the screenoff problem was not valid since I still have my screen blackouts even though I am using window xp to sync. do you, mates at xda-developers, have any suggestion on how to get around the problem. Thanks
Sounds like its a Power problem to me!
So check your power settings.
OK, This is my first post. MW2003 seems to be must better that PPC2002 except for one thing. HOW DO I TURN MY XDA ON. the only way I have found so far is a soft-reset.
When the XDA screen goes blank it really isn't off because anybody calling get the ringing tone, unfortunately the phone does not ring so I cannot answer.

Dear,
I later experienced some correlation between the system (Screen) blanks and the installation of some software that was supposed to be used in ppc 2002 (for me the program is "True Fax"). Each time after my installation of True Fax, the system simply goes blank and I have to do the soft reset to uninstall such program to revitalize the system again. Hope this does some help to you. And if you have found some similarities, please confirm my findout. Thanks
It also may help if one removes the SIM Tool Kit shortcut (stk.ink) from the Startup folder. This shortcut is also know to bring up a blank screen. So remove the shortcut and soft reset. HTH
Qman is correct. For some reason the simtoolkit launches a program called HTC SAT on startup which produces a blank screen. Doesn't appear to harm anything but I removed the link anyway and all is still well. I have detect digital unchecked in the pictures program and my sd card was erased as well anyway. Any other thoughts on this?

Ken,
Like you, I think I have founfd the cause of my Power On problem. Looks like it was caused by a the GPRS traffic monitor supplied on the o2 XDA CD. I belive the progam was called "GPRS Traffic Counter"

This one is still a mystery to me, but I’m starting to wonder if it has something to do with certain apps. being installed on the SD card.
So lets do this, if this has happened to you can you post what apps you had installed on your SD cards at time of occurrence. Then maybe we can get a better fix on whats actually causing it. What you think!
For me I had:
Pocket Plus (which has since been removed)
SPB GPRS Monitor
PocketBIble
Resco Explorer
HPC Notes & Spell
Cash Organizer
ListPro
CodeWallet
HanDBase
I had installed:
pockeplus (since removed via hard reset):to RAM
spb gprs monitor:to RAM
that was it. no apps installed to the sd card at that time, just some text files and wavs to see if I would have an sd card erasure.
This morning I installed to the sd card:
Adobe Reader
Repligo
Lygea pocket 12c
fonix voicedial with us voice pack
Franklin Covey Plan Plus-Daily Record, Prioritized Tasks, and Activesync app
Illium eWallet
Agenda Fusion 5 w/icon pack
Sprite Pocket Backup
In RAM I have installed:
Spb GPRS monitor
MUTX RingtoneX
Isn't collaboration GREAT?

Dear all,
Since I have had countless SD card reformats, I wonder whether you guys have noticed the same thing?. Every time when the system starts to wipe out your sd card, there are iterations of sd card boots. That is the system will locate your same sd card more than once and acknowledges it as multiple different sd cards. This is noticable in the "Memory" program -> SD Card Menu (under settings) which shows multiple sd cards (i.e. storage card, storage card2, storage card3 and so on) being inserted at the time even when only one single sd card is in place. I think the secret to this is to try to stop that from happening. ANd since I'm a newbie about techno thing, I wonder whether it has something to do with the registry or it just systematcally occurs at random (suggest anything, anyone?)
For the time being, I have to lock my sd card unless when installation times come. BTW, valheru & Qman, I have not installed any of the programs you have in your sd cards (besides acrobat)
Hmmmm. Call me Val, it's easier. I have not had the numerous sd card iterations you have mentioned. Knock on wood, no erasure yet though I only had one. Locking the sd card is a good idea but I agree it is a pain. Do you have the detect digital camera option in the pictures program unchecked? I have heard this does and does not work but since the xda doesnt support sdio you might as well uncheck it. Also, which version are your running?
I think the sd card detection is built into the system much like PnP so I am unsure if it can be disabled. If it is detecting the card over and over, there may be a power issue or perhaps some dust, etc. has come into contact with the pins of the card thereby intermittently blocking the signal? Might want to check to be sure....
Dear Val,
I have had the digital option unchecked since the very beginning and nothing helps. It seems that the erasure comes at random, but I just happened to witness the iterations by accident.
BTW, my version is

Dear,
BTW again, is your ppc 2003 the official one for SX56, mine is not
P.S Really wish I could go back to using my 3.17 rom (the disadv far outpace the adv ones, at least for mine)
Nope, unofficial, back yard kitchen brew by Jeff's ROMKitchen.
Dear Val and others,
Just when I thought I could go to sleep, my SD card was erased again for the ......th time (I lost my counting somewhere along 10s). Up to now, I do not know what causes it. BUT I DO KNOW how to check whether your SD Cards are secure from erasures. If you have the programme called "PHM Device Manager" just go to the Storage Port and check the Device ID under it. It is supposed to be pre-assigned and stay intact. If after a while of launching programs and/or soft-reseting the unit, the Device ID (SD Port ID) numbers up, quickly lock your sd card before everything is erased. If anyone happens to know what causes changing SD Port ID, please let me know. It looks to me as if the XDA is constantly examining the SD slot and each time it does, it recognizes the same SD card as different ones.
I hope yours are still intact after such checkup cos if not..........???
I have also found out that the numbering up in Device ID (in Standard Disk Drive, DSK1) is 100% subject to how many times I have turn on/off the screen. Seems like the SD Card iteration is ignited each time the screen is turned off and on. ANyone, any clue to why?
Interesting. I'll have to check on that. I honestly never noticed the correlation. I have observed this site for a few months and I now making it a point to participate daily!
i know this might sound like a stupid question but how to i move my movie which work on my itouch to my sgs i tries using kies and ofc it doesn't pick up my phone conents and i also tried draging and droping the movie on my new brand new formatted 16gb sd card with nothing on it expect a note pad document called "devicefriendlyname" on but a message keeps poping up or it keeps frezzing and (im connect the phone i use mass storeage) and it doesn't WORK GRRRRRR does anyone know what i should do!? thanks in advance cause i just got the phone last week and loving eveything abit it except the lag and this! but what makes it worst is that when i put the sd card into my old g1 and reformat it on the it and put the same movie on it WORKS!!! is there something w rong with my sgs?
I would either use the phone and connect it to the PC and Mount the USB storage and drag it to the sd card or use a card reader on my pc with the sdcard and drag it onto the card.
I couldn't quite understand what you were saying when you explained what you tried already, so sorry if you did try this already.
Those are the simplest ways to transfer, no need to use kies or anything else. Just make sure the movie is in a format the video application you are using supports.
Ok I have a few questions I have been trying to find the answer for but need help with now.
1. Best way to FAT32 my Micro SD card? I saw HP tools. But I dont have anyway to put the Micro SD card into the comp can I do the FAT while it is still in my phone?
2. No sounds with the latest Kernel is that a bug or is there something I need to do on my end. Same with the Text sounds there are no my phone does not even vibrate for a text.
3. something weird I would put it into deep sleep solid green LED and then as i was walking or driving it might go to orange for a few seconds is that something to do with me moving around or just something else.
Thanks for the help.

1. HP Tool. Of course you can do it with the card in the phone, just use mass storage mode in Winmo.
2. Which kernel? Did you try formatting your card? ^^ I'd guess not haha.
3. The phone needs to wake - things syncing in the bg, etc. If you have no apps set to sync, airplane mode on, basically everything disabled it should stay solid green. Anything else that could wake it, will make it flicker orange. That's the point, the LED indicates sleep state.
what should I download to reformat and where can I get it from
Thanks again arrrghhh

If you're using FRX06, it's pretty obvious you didn't read the first post. The HP Tool is linked there.
This seems to be a fairly common problem on Android phones having searched XDA but it's a problem that has only just started happening on my SGS3 (whilst on holiday - fml).
I was listening to music on the beach (through Poweramp) and took some photos. The music stopped and when I went back into the player no files were found. Then the message appeared at the top saying either no memory card inserted, blank memory card or SD card removed unexpectedly. It's a 32 gb
I immediately swore a lot and then tried the usual routines of rebooting, reinserting, reflashing and reswearing but no joy. This was all on Omega 27.1 btw.
So, I flash a new ROM - Omega 13.1 (old faithful). Nothing.
I flash Supernexus 3. Nothing.
I swear. A lot. Nothing.
I go back to 13.1. Something...
It finds the card but it is still an intermittent problem - especially when using the headphone controls for some reason? I've since tried another smaller SD card and the problem seems to disappear so it must be a corrupt card that I need to reformat to FAT32 once I get home.
Has anybody else got any other ideas or had the same issue?

Well, my SD card just started having this problem today.
Since all my pics and backups are uploaded to Dropbox, I asked the S3 to format it, but it does not solve the problem.
My PC can read the card perfectly.
Any thoughts?
Had the same issue with my S3.
Turned out that the SD card was dying, this caused it to be unmounted by itself and then mounted again (sometimes showing notification “sd card removed unexpectedly”), hence triggering the media scanning process.
I created an application to monitor how many times the SD card was removed, and turned out to be unmounted every ~3 mins!!!
I then bought a new Transcend 32GB Class 10 card (made in Korea), and until now, this never happens, no reports from the application whatsoever, and no media process eating my battery.
I just published this app in the play store now, this is the link:
