Please can you help. I purchased Tomtom 3 a few months ago and installed it correctly on my XDA2. I used this fantastic program for 2 months until my XDA2 developed a hard reset problem. The Faulty XDA2 has now been replaced with a new XDA2i.
This is where the problem starts. Firstly I had trouble installing the software, I had to remove the Activesync Partnership to get it to work, it eventually installed correctly. I used the Tomtom 3 today and found the XDA2i freezes, the calendar works etc but tomtom is problematic. I even tried to close down all running programs and does so yet tomtom remains froze on screen, leaving me no option but to reset the device.
I reset the device and after 5mins - 30mins of using tomtom again it freezes.
I'm guessing it could be a probelm with the Bluetooth or possibly memory card however both the bluetooth reciever and SD card worked ok on my XDA2.
I have read as many posts on this forum about this problem and seem to have found the possible reasons:-
SD Card not fast enough or incompatible (especially the 1gb Card)
Active O2 is the problem with a memory Leak.
Phone signal loss causes the problem
Does anyone know for definte, which problem is actually responsible for this lockup?
SD Card - I have tried the SD card on my XDA2 and it worked fine yet with the xda2i it could be causng the problem. To check if this is the problem im going to install the maps on the actual HD of the XDA2i and remove the SD card, it can't be that then!
Active O2 - I have installed the corporate install and it has froze once already, yet it may have been a coincidence. Watch this space!
Phone signal loss - could be that need to test it out when it next freezes, check the phone signal status at the precise moment of the lockup.
Can you help? I now have a tomtom 3 sofware with UK maps and Maps of western europe that is at present useless to me, and I keep getting lost when I drive.

Its worth trying this, make sure your gps is correctly bonded and recognised by tomtom, open the gps portion of tomtom with blutooth switched on, when you get a lock open up the tomtom main program, always close tomtom with the exit tab and make sure its closed by using a task switcher or going to settings/memory/running programs. Please let me know if this long winded effort at a solution helps at all.
Hi,
I always close down Tomtom 3 using the exit button in the navigator menu. The problem I have is when the Tomtom freezes there is nothing it will do. Howvere I can press the calendar button etc to use the XDA2i as if there isnt a problem yet Tomtom 3 is still froze in the background.
When I go into the Memory settings of the XDA2i I stop all programs and can see TT3 running. It tries to stop it and says end task now, I end now and the question disapears yet when I go back into the memory it is still running and if I open TT3 it opens up as a frozen screen.
The only way to clear TT3 from being froze in the background and to get it working again is to reset the device.
It could be the SD card, Active O2 or the phone signal, it could be something else.
One thing is for sure is the reply I got from Tomtom which is below:-

Dear Mr Donnellan,
The XDA2i has not yet been fully tested and is not yet supported.
Please make sure that you have installed our latest GPS driver 3.07.
We hope to have answered your question to your satisfaction.
With best regards,
The TomTom Customer Support Team
GREAT HEY!! GOOD OLD TomTom
I had problems like you using a 1gb sandisk SD card, it worked fine in my XDA2 and XDA2s, but in the XDA2i it worked but would soon lock up.
after reading posts about sandisk cards causing problems i got hold of some cheapie lexar SD cards. and it now works fine.
I do understand you dont have a sandisk card, but i think it would be worth a try to change or borrow a diferent make card.
Good luck John
I've got a Lexar 1GB 32x High Speed card, and I've had this problem on both the 2 and 2i.
I used to use another 128MB and I really don't recall ever having this problem on that one. However, I sold it after I got the 1GB.
The 1GB was an Xmas pressie so I didn't really want to draw attention to it, and I've attempted reformatting it and defragging etc...plus now it's probably too late to request a replacement.
My first point of suspicion would be the card, definitely. Also, can you fit the 100+MB onto your 2i internal ram? I don't think there is anywhere near enough space is there?
Cheers
Ant
I'm experiencing the same.
Do you have Tom Tom Traffic installed?
I'm thinking that this is the cause of my problem.
Just for the record I don't have TT Traffic installed.
I have tried various methods of eliminaton to highlight the actual cause. The XDA2i freezes using tomtom3 with a fresh corporate hard reset with only the TT3 installed after default.
Tomtom's bare minimum was installed, that is no traffic just the software, GPS and maps of GBwith voice.
One thing I have found is the SD card works most of the time however last night i tried to run TT3 and it said it couldn't find the maps. I checked the Memory settings and ithe SD card was showing and looked like it was working correctly, yet tomtom couldnt see it!
If it did this when I was using Tomtom 3 then I would imagine a lockup happening which it is.
I am drawing my conclusion to the SD card being the cause.
Just out of interest!
PLease can all the people who have experienced this problem of lockups using tomtom 3 say what size of SD card they are using.
I am drawing my conclusion to it being caused by 1Gb SD Cards only.
Can anyone tell me if they have experienced the lockup using anything smaller than 1gb.
Cheers
Lee
I'm using a 1Gb card and having this problem. I'll change to a 250mB and see what happens.
Hi all,
Update!
I bought a new SD card today (512mb SD Card) and guess what, the XDA2i using tomtom froze again!! Its not the SD card. However it did take longer for the lockup to happen, I managed to drive 25miles before it froze.
I bought the SD card becasue I installed the Maps on the XDA2i's own memory and didn't experience any lockups at all on that. I thought it must be the 1gb SD card hence the reason why I bought a 512mb.
When I tested the maps using the XDA2i's memory, I didnt drive that far so it may have been within the 25mile range so it didn't truely test it.
After the lock up, using the same 512mb SD card, I tried driving with the phone off, I drove all the way back home from the point of the lockup i.e the same 25miles back home. It didnt lockup so it may be down to the phone. I have read the the phone signal loss causes the lockup, they may be right, I'll test it out fully tomorrow.
I'll keep you posted.
Bye
Are you using a BT headset at the same time by any chance?
That's when I get my lock ups.
Hi,
I have reached a full conclusion and can report success!
Following some extensive testing with various installs and setups I can now finally explain what I think is causing this freeze /lockup.
Its the Phone! of all things!
Here is a summary of the testing setups bearing in mind nothing else was installed on the XDA2i other than default and the tom tom had GB Only Maps.
Active o2 installed (Personal) using 1gb SD card and phone on (FREEZE)
Active o2 not installed (Corporate) 1gb SD Card and Phone on (FREEZE)
Active o2 not installed (Corporate) 512mb SD Card and Phone on (FREEZE)
Active o2 not installed (Corporate) No SD Card, Tomtom using Memory of XDA2i and Phone on (FREEZE)
Active o2 not installed (Corporate) 1gb SD Card and Phone off (OK)
Active o2 not installed (Corporate) 512mb SD Card and Phone off (OK)
Well there you go, with all the setups that froze, the lockup took longer to happen with the smaller SD card, using the 1gb SD card it took approx 5miles of driving whereas the 512mb SD card I managed to drive 20miles.
Today, I drove 149 miles WITHOUT a single lockup using the 1gb SD card, POI installed and other Apps in the background running, all this because the phone was OFF. Wireless On! as I use Bluetooth GPS.
The reason people may be experiencing a lockup when using a Bluetooth Handsfree head set is because the phone is ON! I think anyway! its not becuase of the Bluetooth Headset.
I think the problem lies with the phone changing cells (changing masts) when you drive, thats why the freeze occurs at various points when you drive. I don't think it is nessecarly due to loss of signal as the phone seemed have a signal when I had a lockup. The masts change must be the problem, changing from one mast with a good signal to another with a good signal!
Anyway Yippee I have found out the cause, hope its the same for you guys too.
One point I must add, I found that using the 1gb SD card the XDA2i runs slower and can cause you to experience problems loading the maps or installing tomtom maps onto it without deleting the partnership in activesync. I am downgrading my SD card to my new 512mb card as it runs smoother and seems to cause less problems for Tomtom.
Any one with other suggestions please post, Knowing my luck it will freeze tomorrow with the phone off, I think that 149miles is pretty conclusive though, especial as it froze again when I turned it on again.
Bye
So what good is that? A phone that has to be off to work properly!
I'll check out your recommendation of the smaller card and let you know.
Good investigative work.
If I hadn't unlocked mine I'd send it back for a replacement. I don't want to pay to unlock again and TomTom are a real pain with authorising a new install on another phone/pda.
lock up tomtom3
Hi all...I posted same problems some weeks ago...didnt take too long tho' to discover that it is indeed the phone that causes the freeze up... I noticed it when I passed the same point locally and realised that there is a phone mast there...so when the phone picks up a signal from a nearby mast etc it freezes the system...I use it without problems with the phone off..in flight mode..I have even had replacement xda 2i from o2 thinking it was that that was faulty..as for tomtom 3.7...doesnt make any difference,,still freezes...albeit whilst installing it it doesnt tell you that it was meant for earlier systems.
so come on tomtom...get it sorted!..
One thing I haven't tried is using Tomtom with Active O2 installed, i'm installing it now to test it out tomorrow.
Active O2 was always suspect after reading a post about it having a memory leak. I'll let you know if this adds to the cause of the lockup.
Its good to hear someone else report the phone causing the problem. I did actually read a post when I first started this task saying the phone was in fact the problem. One of the things I find with any forum is you never know if that is an isolated case or is the actual cause. This is why I have tried to report fully on what I have done in order to help other people.
I must say this Forum is wicked and many thanks to the creator and the users.
Cheers
It might definitely be ur SD card.. cos i use a Transcend 80x 1 GB card and never had a problem... probably the card is too slow.. try the 1GB from tanscend.. they never disappointed me....
Tom *#@%$Tom & XDAs
Sorry to hear about your problems. TomTom has given me problems on my XDAs, my XDA IIs, & now on my XDA IIi! I'm told that the new version 5 will sort everything out..........now where have I heard that b4? Have changed sd cards, tho I must say I haven't tried with the phone off & as TT don't want to give me a new key for mine, I'm waiting for the release of nav 5.
Also I travel a lot in East Europe I have always used TT Routeplanner, which has main roads in E Eu but it won't load on XDA IIi, you can also use MS Autoroute 2001 on a PC, which has main roads in E Eu but no bluetooth capability. (Autoroute dropped all E Eu detail a few years back as they provided for more detail in West Europe)
Has anyone heard of a version of Routeplanner that'll work with 2003SE?
Does anyone know of a Nav programme for PC that has comprehensive coverage of Eastern Europe?
Safe travels! My TomTom & I, lost in Europe! LOL

I can definelty say it is the phone that has caused my XDA2i to lockup when running Tomtom 3. My final test today was a success too, I performed a Hard Reset last night and reinstalled Active O2, Tomtom 3, POi Warner, All the usual Apps that come with the Device and Installed maps of europe.
After completing 200miles today without a single lockup using tomtom 3 with the phone off has proven the phone is the single cause of this problem.
I installed the Maps etc on my 1gb SD card! However I am going to use my 512mb from now on which seems to allow the device to run smoother.
Whilst on my travelles today, I stopped and had to use my GPRS connection to download Email.
I closed down Tomtom and reinstated the phone adn connected to GPRS Web and successfully downloaded my Mail. I then closed down GPRS connection, turned off the phoen which I have to say is pretty hard to do as I seem to only be able to turn off the wireless connection which in turn truns off bluetooth. I then managed to get Bluetooth working again keeping the phone off and managed to drive some distance until I reached home without a lockup. Just proves that the phone can be on but not at the same time as tomtom 3.

I am running the original ROM my Trinity came with.
WM5
ROM Version - 1.23.405.2
Radio Version - 1.38.00.11
I have no reason to change or update the ROM (partly as i don't understand how to), everything runs really well with it. My GPS, WiFi etc all work a treat. Recently I bought a 4GB Transcend Mini SDHC card as my 2GB is nearly full.
When I loaded everything onto it, it worked no problem. My Trinity recognised it and everything worked. However, when I switched my Trinity off and later put it on many of my programs wouldn't run. I used File explorer on the PDA and some of the files had disappeared. A soft reset brought them all back (which is wierd) but these problems persisted. But a soft reset would make it all work again. A couple of times everything did disappear except 1 folder (my inbox attachments), and a soft reset did not help. When I put the card into my PC (running XP) this one folder was the only thing on the card. Yet all the memory was still used up. I reformatted the card (FAT32 was the only option) and loaded everything back onto the card and into my Trinity and things worked again, but the same problems keep happening.
From doing a search here I see some people have produced Cab files which sort change the settings for SDHC cards, but these seem to be mainly for WM6 ROM's. I can see the card and it works so is there a Cab file I should install to make it work well? Is it the card? (I suspect not as it always reformates and works initially)
Will I need to upgrade to WM6? If so which ROM? Are there instructions how to do this?
Are these problems still there with WM6?
If anyone can help that would be great.
I would prefer to be able to keep WM5 and find a solution so if you have one please share it.
Thanks
Same here...
Hi, I am in the same position exactly. I would prefer to stay with my original WM5 installation as I don't want to risk upgrading the ROM. However, I would love to be able to use SDHC cards of at least 4Gb without the normal problems.
Ideally I would like to get a 6Gb card - am I living in a dream world or is this possible with my Orange SPV-M700 running WM5. If anyone has had any luck with this I'd be really grateful to know how to solve the SDHC card reliability problem.
Thanks!

Ok - so I bought a Topram 4gb card from ebay, and it works so far. All my files are there and continue to be there. Only once over a 3 day period have I switched my Trinity on to find files not there. A quick reboot and everything works.
This card is not a SDHC card!
6 Gig works too (WM6)
Upgrading to WM6 isn't that hard. If you don't feel comfortable doing it then don't. You will just have to live with a smaller memory card capacity.
At the moment I'm using a wm6 rom with a micro 6 gig sdhc card with a mini converter. so I can use this 6 gig card in my next phone .... (Forward thinking
It happened to me 3 times in 3 days. The entire contents disappeared with no reason. I have never experienced this issue, but it is getting me out of my nerves.
My SD card is a Sandisk 8 GB SDHC.
I have scanned the card using a card reader and it seems that all the files are there, but they're unlinked. The space is used, but the files are not accesible, so when I go to Storage Card, I find it empty.
It's TOTALLY annoying. Please, give your experience if you have this problem.
Have you lost all your MicroSD card contents and you don't know why?
My Sandisk 8gb card came with a USB2 card reader that is great speed-wise; but twice I lost all the data when using it. I didn't realize it might be related at the time, but then I misplaced the reader and switched to using the adapter kind -- the SD sized thing that you slip the microSD card into (my laptop has a SD card slot). It's been a few months now, and with constant switching of the card between my Touch, Touch Cruise and laptop, I've not lost the data since.
While I can't say for sure it's related, it hasn't happened since I stopped using the USB adapter that shipped with the card.
I think it's not related to the use of the adapter since the first time I lost my files I was on a route using Tomtom 7. In my way back, I had to go without the navigator :S No maps, and the videos and pictures that I took, totally lost.
Fortunately I have an application that is pure gold to recover every disaster that could happen (recovers partitions even after formatting the disk, and files with their original names). It's not pleasant for me to use this application ("[email protected] Partition Recovery Enterprise"), but this is becoming too usual...
By the way I'm using udK's WM6.1 ROM R6, even though I don't think it's related to it.
My MicroSD is formatted in FAT32 with 32KB clusters.
Any ideas about how to fix this problem?
The last time I lost the contents I was about to sync music with WMP (with the USB connected).
Good luck... I'm using the ROM that shipped with the device. Guess the only way to know if it's related to a cooked-ROM is to re-install the official ROM and see how things go.

did you use something like sktools for change pathes of temp/cookes files of I.E or so on?
If yes it could following happend:
You change the destination path for some application like InternetExplorers Temp and Cookies pathes to point to Storage Card.
After this you removed the card on any time.
The device cannot find the path to the Storage Card and creates a folder "Storage Card" on the root of the internal device memory.
If you insert a card again, it show you onliy the content of the new folder.

Dudes,
I'm bought a sandisk 8gb micro SDHC about a month ago.
Filled it almost to the brim with music and podcasts.
I regularly uses great programs like S2P and BeyondPod for music and podcasts to listen with my Bluetooth A2DP headset.
Had no problem until recently where the entire card is not readable anymore
Symptoms:
1) the phone started not to recognise the SDHC, where it could not detect any inserted card
2) the failures on the SDHC gave me corrupted files. I was able to repaired these by using the Windows XP chkdsk and fix error command
3) by the 3rd time i did this, the card was not readable at all
Suspects:
1) every time polaris hang, i would press the reset button. I suspect tat this would corrupt some files (possibly even the entire SDHC ??)
2) every time polaris hang, i think the phone was running more than 1 app at the same time. In my case, it was probably S2U2 and S2P or BeyondPod, together with BT A2DP.
Don't think it was caused by these great apps, but rather the way Polaris or WindowsPPC handles multi tasking
Will be returning the 8gb SDHC soon for a replacement.
Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening again ?
(other than not running multiple apps at the same time)
Thx
BTW, i'm running windows 6.0, the original HTC polaris rom
Also have a Scandisk 8gb card in my Polaris...
Problems im suffering is that now and then the storage card looses connection.... I can not see it on my mobile and also its not showing up using ActiveSync.
It happens really often and mostly when im using software that depends on it like IGO. The application crashes because it can not access the files needed.
Ive read somewhere that this only happens with scandisk cards so im considering buying a kingston card.. can anyone verify this??
Well the best thing is to make sure, you safely remove your hardware before removing the sd card from the pc or otherwise change the device settings of the memory card to "optimize for quick removal" in the device manager
I recently switched from a non-sdhc card (1 GB) to a SDHC 4GB kingston.
weirdest of all things is that i lose certain applications, but not all!
For instance i have TomTOm installed. Stopped functioning and lost the icon. But SK Tools still works. :S
I'm not very happy with this, since i use my phone ALOT with TomTom and all the other apps i installed on it. Especially at work.
Gonna try the artemis sd fix... Hope it works.
Could it be that you'd made a rom-upgrade with the sd-card in the phone? I had the same problem - lost files on sd-card - with the original 1GB-Card and a new 4-GB-SDHC. I think (and hope) that leaving the card while upgrading has reasoned this issue. After reformating the card in the pda the problem has gone for me . Thank you for your answers...

Yes, i actually did leave the card while upgrading. But i didn't lose any data until a few days AFTER the upgrade. And i frequently soft-reset the device.
I solved my problem (i think) by deleting 'program files' on the storage card and making a new 'program files' folder. It works for a few day now. (keeps fingers crossed)
I did a ROM upgrade (udK Diamond R7) without the microSDHC card, and yesterday night I lost all my files for the nth time.
The space remains used. I was listening to a podcast (that was stored into the card), and suddenly, when I ran the File Explorer to do something, all the files were missing. The podcast played correctly, but when I tried to re-open it, the file could not be found.
I'm feed up with this problem. It is like having no card at all...
Please, we need somebody to fix it. Is it happening to other brands of only Sandisk?
Thanks.
I simply turned my phone off. Then back on again and storage card had turned into storage card 2. Everything I had on the card was lost. So I carried on using the card and now its storage card 3 and the data from when it was called card 2 is now lost.
copilot often asks me to insert map data.
Ive found that if I remove the card and close all programs before I turn the phone off I dont lose data.
O2 told me to send it in for replacement. That was months ago. Not had chance yet. Might be too late!?

Do you mean that the problem might be the cooked ROM? Maybe we can isolate the problem with this approach.
Hola....
I have the TP now 4 like 3 weeks....
In the beginning I installed a lot of programs on my STORAGE CARD!
After the installation I had a lot of problems with my device...like the broken screen issue...and the grey stripes....phone flippin...crashing....thinghs like that.
BUT then I did a hardware reset....took the easy way...
setting->system-> erase content..
After my reset I installed all the programs I installed before...
programs like advanced config, diamond tweak,, coreplayer,klaxon, tomtom etc...
BUT the difference was that I installed everything on my phone....
It worked great 4 me!
I never have issues with my phone anymore....
Everything runs smooth!
so DON'T install programs on your card...
It helped me....maybe it is gonna help you!
you might be on to something here!
thanx for sharing.
With the HUGE amount of storage on-board there's really no need to install programs to the storage card anyway. Plus stuff runs faster from internal storage and is still available if the card is ever removed, or if you connect to a PC in DISK DRIVE mode (which makes the storage card unavailable to the phone's OS).
Basically, always use internal storage until you start getting low, then use the storage card, but only for programs you use rarely.
Incidentally I think Tomtom always installs to the storage card, I don't recall ever having a choice to put it into internal storage.
Now that you mention after my "grey screen" issue i've never installed anything on my storage card and my TP is running fine ever since.
I never thought i could be something so simple and like Jim Coleman mentioned with that much memory on the device who needs the storage card for installations anymore
Great finding pensador
P.S. I will publish this on the wiki at the know issue's section
I have everything installed on my phone, and not the card (except TomTom) and I had the broken gray screen thing once about 4 days into owning the TP and never since. Ive had it weeks now.

Have you used any Tweak programs??
I have found that if you use any 'Generic' Tweak programs the unit starts to go squiffy..seems a few non-device specific Tweaks from older devices cause problems, especially BT (different hardware and even WM5, 6 and 6.1 specific!).
Just add the known working tweaks for this device via a reg editor ( most Diamond seem to be OK so far) and if you add them one-by-one you will know where problems occur..
Remember, everything on this forum holds the the 'Caveat Emptor' disclaimer..(except you usually get it for free!)
Here, use this from windows when connected via Async if you don't have an internal reg editor (takes up zero room also!)
Search for the thread with Raphael tweaks, before the device was even released someone who got their hands on a pre-release tested out every single tweak from the "Diamond tweaks" thread and gave feedback on if it worked or not, and how much it improved the device. That should narrow it down to the tweaks you should do and the ones you shouldn't bother with.

lol, since i owned the TP i already installed everything on the phone itself and not the storagecard.
and like i mentioned in other threads, i have never hed a problem so far.
(still knocking on wood)
even TT works great, no GPS lag or what ever (the maps are on storagecard but program is not).
I have to say that I installed a ton of programs on my Storage card, and never had any issue. I am using a 2GB MicroSd card. Maybe the problem is with larger capacity cards or the SDHC drivers on the mobile itself?
I have the Touch Pro for a bit over a month now and never had any issues with the screen or anything else other than the GPS. Most of my applications are installed on the memory card, except WkTask and Pocket Wakeup. I have also used advanced config 3.2 to alter many settings. I have a 8Gb microSD Sandisk card which I purchased for my N95 many months ago when they first came out, which is formatted as FAT32. I don't know if these help but I guess other factors should be considered, like the SD card's format, it's speed and it's quality.
I got allmost all mt programs installed on the storage card (8GB SDHC) exept the advanced config. and my phone works like like a dream.. ok that was to exaggerate
But I never had any issues with it since I uninstalled sensor lock from the phone.

Have you used any Tweak programs??
I have found that if you use any 'Generic' Tweak programs the unit starts to go squiffy..seems a few non-device specific Tweaks from older devices cause problems, especially BT (different hardware and even WM5, 6 and 6.1 specific!).
Just add the known working tweaks for this device via a reg editor ( most Diamond seem to be OK so far) and if you add them one-by-one you will know where problems occur..
Remember, everything on this forum holds the the 'Caveat Emptor' disclaimer..(except you usually get it for free!)
Here, use this from windows when connected via Async if you don't have an internal reg editor (takes up zero room also!)

I used AdvancedConfig to apply the speed boost tweaks as well as various other things, like power saving stuff. I did a registry edit to hide SIM contacts, that didnt save though after a soft reset.
I only had the gray screen once at a restaurant about 4 or 5 days after receiving it. Since then I have had a few freezes, but nothing major. TomTom works great for me too.
Also, something strange, when i got it new, it got very hot like i read on the forum from a few people, but since then, it doesnt do that. It gets a little warm, but not hot.
hey friends,
I installed Google Maps in storage card (4GB HDHC).
sometimes I feel it freezes. I have to close the app and restart it to make it work properly, or I have to do soft reset.
if I will install it in my phone memory, will Google Maps cache consume lot of space?

... way to bring a post from last year back into action:[
no it will not you should just install it to your phone , there is more than enough room to hold 15 google maps if you wanted so don't fret about installing things to internal memory.
Hi Guys,
I have just upgraded from windows 6 to windows 6.1 ( got it from Australia HTC website ). After the upgradded , everything was working fine and I have noticed that it have improved the performance speed.
After afew days later, something funny has happened, all my programs and files that saved on my memory card was deleled. So I tried to do hard reset but the same problem happen again ( program and files got deleted from the memory )
Is everyone have the same problem as me ? Any suggestions what may be the problem ?
My device info :
HTC TyTN 2
Rom: 3.29.861.0 WWE
Radio v: 1.65.17.10
memory card : Sandisk microSD 8GB
I've never run into this problem until recently. Twice now in the past 4 or so days I've had all files and programs completely erased from my sd card. I haven't been able to isolate the problem and whether its rom related or software or just faulty hardware. I do see that you and I have the same sandisk uSDHC 8gb card though.

I got two cards one is 4GB and the other one is 8Gb and they are all sandisk uSDHC. It is really annoying that I have to backup the file to the memory card everytime.
I dont think it is the hardware problem at all. It is 100% a software problem.
Anyone can suggest what may be the caused pls ?
I just discovered yesterday that upon a removal and insertion into my memory reader on my pc the files were still there. (weird) I put them in my tilt and gone. So I soft reset the tilt and they are back again, including the ones I thought originally gone the first time. Go figure.

search for duplicate files/folders names in same folder.
this was my problem on artemis
with the same behavior as you describing
Same problem - Serious issue - must find Solution
HTC P3650 upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1
8GB Sandisk has been wiped twice now since upgrade about 2 months ago
This causes great inconvnience I was about to complain to Sandisk about a faulty microSD card until a came across this article which tells me it's definelty 6.1 software issue.
If I buy a different make SD card will it resolve, I don't care I must have a solution I cannot work with this.
I would be very grateful to anyone who can can resolve this
I also noticed most folders show as duplicate when browsing the SDcard. This may be as mentioned by someone that they noticed data was still there when they plugged just SD card into PC, maybe I have restored previous data and current data was still there. Although you should not be allowed to have same folder names. This error really sucks
Running official WM 6.1 ROM with Sandisk 8 GB, I've just encountered the same problem. There was no problem for 3-4 months and suddenly today the SD card shows as blank both within device using File Manager and plugged into my PC. The strange thing is that under Settings/Memory I see that about 50% of SD card is full. Card Export also reports around 50% full. So is it just the MBR that's messed up?
i have a 4gb SDHC Kingston card and it has happened to me like 3 or 4 times in the last 3 months... once i was installing Uptodate, and other time i was installing Destinator...but i cant seem to find a pattern...!!!
Hello,
Almost a year ago I purchased my Kaiser (an Orange Kaiser) ans started to flash my phone.
I have already used several ROM avaiable here: Dutty (sevearl versions), L26 (SEVERAL Versions), Hyperdragon, Mobile vista, etc, etc, etc. Have already tryed several versions of the Radio firmwares. 1.24, 1.57. etc. Also, have already tried almost EVERY Hard SPL avaiable and so far I had the same problem:
Few days after flashing the Kaiser starts do slow down its performence. For ex: I press the Call button and it takes 40 to 50 seconds to enter in the touchpad screen. Sometimes it don't even enter the the call screen.
It get worst: sometimes I get no signam from the phone even if i'm side by side to a antena (where any other phone have a strong signal).
The only solution: HARD RESET. I mean, after a hard reset it looks like its other phone. Strong signal, fast response.
I can't possible imagine that I'm the only one here with this kind of problem. Does anyone knows how to solve? Does anyone here knows ehy it happens?
PS: I have already tried configurations with diferent programs. I have already tried with and without S2L2, With or without HTC Home (most without), With and without pocket launcher, with and without today agenda and SPB calendar. Can only think that this is problem with something in the ROM or the radio since every single configuration had the same performance issues.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks

I had a faulty SD card that was giving me similar problems to this. I think it was due to Coreplayer and Audio Manager scanning the faulty SD card for music and the read speed was really really slow on the card. Everything would grind to a halt. I bought a new card and everything was fine after that. You could also try formatting or removing the SD card to eliminate the card being the source of the issue.... but you'll probably turn around a say you don't have an SD card
Good luck...
Yeah recently I got this issue. The filesystem on my SD card for corrupt somehow, and I was unable to access anything on it via activesync (my pc) and my phone.
So I just installed some prob( i forget the name) and formatted the SD card, then re-flashed. And since then it's been quick as can be
Hey guys,
I've been having this issue as well. I have not found it to be my storage card as i have tried 4 different cards. i have put the cards on my BJII and it works without issues. I also have found that with some of my early L26 Flashes i would just ride it out and it would work again.
However i have not had my HDIII Pro for that long but i'm hoping that it would would do the same.
If someone does find a link to what is really going on i would greatly appreciate the advice.
Thanks
Also, I actually believe if you text message a lot (i mean basically excessivly) as my brother does, the device will slow down.
He has my older Hermes, and he has unlimited texting, but within 2 weeks he would have sent 1500-2000 text messages and recieved about the same ammount.
By that time his phone would start lagging and being a pain, so I would usually just do a new flash (or hard reset), since deleting that many texts normally would probably take 48 hours haha.
Anyway when it gets re-flashed everything runs normal and fine. But whenever the phone gets cleared everything is smooth again
So maybe it's the amount of text/emails you have? Idk
Going to test the SD card. I have a 4Gb SD card but I'm actually only using 1,4 Gb, so I can use a 2Gb with no problem.
This going to take a while since the phone starts to slow down after three or four days, but I'll let you guys know if it solved.
Thanks!!!!

If you have a vista based machine, It will correct the filesystem errors automatically, and you wont have to reformat...
Works great for me, My desktop is VU64, and my lappy is MCE2005. All the flashing happens on the laptop, and transferring files to the SD (Music & Movies) via WMP happens on the desktop.
Idem
I have same problem.
I try to found confirmation in italian dedicated forum , nobody has had the same problem.
After any minutes where the kaiser freeze , i do not have the same problem.
As is autoconfigured.
Now i used selfmade rom (by official italian rom, and hardSPL 3.29).
Sorry for my bad english
