URGENT HELP: XDA II and 1GB SD card problem

Dear All,
I recently bought a Sandisc 1GB SD Card for the XDA II (Himalaya) and ever since then, (in a span of about 2 weeks); my phone had to be hard reset 6 times! Is there anyway to prevent this or any solution to this problem? I have been using a 128MB card for nearly 1.7 years in the XDA and never had even one hard reset but suddenly after changing cards, I have had this problem. Would greatly appreciate any solution/idea/suggestion. Thank you.
Cheers, Vikas.

mate, xdaII can only accomodate 512 MB of storage card. thats all i know.

I don't think it's really accurate what ur saying,I have a 1GB in my Himalaya MDAII for about 3 months now....and it's running more than perfect... :wink:
@vikasmal:I donno if the SD is the what's causing u those hard resets...but anyway,have u tried formatting it FAT not FAT32?
Try then let me know.....
RAGO :lol:

not very helpful, but i have been using a PNY 1GB SD card in my xda2 for over 6 months without a hitch, the only thing that has caused mine to require a hard reset is some programs, trick is to install a new program then see how it runs for a few days before installing any others.
might be worth trying a different make of SD card if you know anyone that is willing to lend you one. a few mates have used cheaper ones that have caused quite a few problems, not sure what though.

Hi, thanks for your reply Formatting this in FAT, how should I do that? With my XDAII on the USB cradle or with a card reader?
Sorry for the silly question but am a little lost on this.
Thanks.
Vikas.

Thanks but the 1GB seems to work fine for a few days and then hard reset. Then ok for a few days and again hard reset.

Thanks Macca,
Maybe its the brand but thought Sandisk was a good one :-(
Haven't installed any new programmes other than the ones I was already using on my 128MB card. So that is why am quite puzzled.
Cheers, Vikas.

Hi,
I've been using a 1gig Sandisk Card for about 6 months & have never had to do a hard reset (unless taking the battery out too swap sims).
I didn't have to format it or anything, just got it out of the packet & put it in.
not much use to your problem but it may rule out the card??

Thanks Floody,
Appreciate it. Have done a format in FAT and NOT FAT32 for the Sandisk card and for the last three days, no hard reset. Hope it works this time around. Knock Wood
Cheers, Vikas.

Anyone know if this'll work on the MotoQ? (original CDMA Sprint, not Q9, etc)

has anyone tried this on a Vodafone VDA GPS (aka Toshiba Portege G710)?
2 Gigs are just not enough.

The attached driver just works fine for high capacity SD cards (SDHC) on the VDA GPS.
I run a 8 GB card in it.

Hi
can someone tell me if there is no risk to use this file on a G710 ?
I'm not what we can call a specialist ...The last time I used such a file , My Wm6 crashed ...my phone couldn't boot ...it was blocked on Toshiba logo...
luckily my phone was still under warranty
Thanks

pitzo123,
the VDA GPS is identical to the Toshiba G710 and YES, the driver 100% works fine. Try it out and enjoy.

thanks a lot tuo_kaerf .... works very fine on my Toshiba portege g710 with a kingston microsd sdhc 4 go and 8 go

The driver (from post #8) works on Toshiba G710.
But I see only 4GB of my 8GB card (Transcend microSDHC 8GB Class 6) (not only in SystemInfo, also in File-Explorer files are missing... )
Does anyone have a solution for this?

Download any formatting tool...

Ok, thanks for your reply...
I've tried tree different tools (some shareware), different Cluster-Sizes, full format, low-level-format...
all without success...
any suggestion?

You either have wrongly installed the SDHC driver or your card is broken.
Have you tried reading a different card?

I guess I now understood you problem correctly!
This is just a visual thing, because the application most likely cannot handle large SDHC cards! This does NOT mean, you cannot copy, move or access the card in any way. It works and you also can put data on the card, although the applications cannot properly show the disk usage.
Don't worry about that!
This is the same thing with quite any other device on the market, being developed about 2-3 years ago, which the G710 is.
I double-checked my System-Info and with me, it also only shows a 4 GB card (addressable of about 3.6 GB), which in return is used by 83%.
This is wrong information, because the card actually is a 8GB, just wrongly displayed. I filled the card until 12 MB was being left and - suprise, surprise - I can access it as 8 GB card with full content
So, as I said above: "Don't worry, be happy".

Tried installing the Kahuna SDHC Support Kit for windows mobile (HTC s620) and it disabled my wireless. Uninstalled it and wireless could be enabled again.
Any thoughts on this ?

Why haven't you installed the given proper SDHC driver from my linklist above, but a strange one? Try my link instead and it works wonderfully...

Another safe method to keep 3-card at the same time(SDCARD+SIM1+SIM2)

Dear guys,
I went through China Taobao and found one of small but useful adapter to make our Redmin Note 3 have more storage space and still keeps dual-SIM CARD.(i.e, SDCARD+SIM1+SIM2)
Please check image what I posted.
Or check this Chinese website and see those pictures how it works : http://mobileai.net/2016/09/29/2sim-micro-sd/
Cheers

Vol r u mean say use 2sim and sd card at same time
---------- Post added at 02:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

Yes !
You don't need to take the risk to screw up your SIM card and get dual-SIM + SDCARD at the same time.
The only one disadvantage for this kind of method - Your SIM card would be out of your phone. That's not a big deal and you just need to buy a cover to cover it inside.
Kris

I was a bit confused, I thought you meant increase sound/audio volume.
I see now it is an adapter that allows you to insert a 2nd SIM card, and a microSD card at the same time.

so where to buy
its cost in Indian rupess

Will the phone work when the holder isn't fully closed?

can you give any link

Yes !
Sorry for my bad description and worse English ...

That looks like an excellent option, if it means no cutting of the SIM card or damaging the SD card. Can anybody find one that can be shipped to UK? My friend who has a taobao account and lives in Hong Kong won't be able to get one for me until January.

This is great option to have dual sim + micro sd card at the same time.
Unfortunately, I have done the other method, which glue your sim card into sd card.
Anyway, its a great info.

Can any 1 plzzz give me the link from where to buy in India???

I have tried it, and it works very Good !
See image what I posted here.
This small SIM plastic adapter works very well. I found it has another useful function: To exchange SIM Card easily if your traveling frequency is pretty high.
You just need to take off cover and pull your SIM card off. Then insert local SIM card. Done !
Kris

Anyone having any link to buy this in India which works in redmi note 3 or anyone tried it yet ?
