Dear all,
I notice the following problems with "Bluetooth Settings screen". When I click on the bluetooth icon on the extreme right hand corner it would take from 5 to 20 seconds for the setting screen to come up. This will only happen if I have an SD card (Apacer 256MB) inserted in the SD slot. I have SanDisk SD Wifi card, even with this inserted it would take between 5 to 10 second to bring up the bluetooth setting screen. This happens for both the initial firmware as well as the latest firmware from official XDA II site. FYI, without any SD device inserted the bluetooth setting can be activated instantaneously. This problem can be replicated time and again so it is not something that is caused by any program installed (tested all that even after cold reset). Does anyone know of a solution to the problem? Thanks.

Its likely that something on the card is slowing your XDA down..
What apps are installed onto the card ? if you have an app thats constantly being run from the card it will slow the system down, maybe not as much as you say but it does have a noticable effect with large apps.
My Bluetooth options pretty much come up instantly unless i have a few programs running, in which case it sometimes takes a couple of seconds or more..
Maybe your SD card is faulty. If so, your XDA might be constantly trying to read something from the card and keep hitting an error which isnt made known to the user. What id try is to backup the SD card, reformat it and then see if it happens again. :wink:
Hi,
I have no application running from the SD card. All of them are datafiles, mostly pictures, wmv and microsoft reader files. BTW, how do I format the SD card?. Thanks.

I dont think theres an option to do it within the XDA2.
You'd need a card reader or someone who owns one which can reformat the card. If you dont want to by one or know anyone with one, go to your local PC shop, they might do it for you. :wink:
I'm having exactly the same problem.... accept for it only happens when turning on the XDAII - if I do remove the SD card then the problem does go away!!!
Is anyone else having this same problem with the BT Settings ??
You can format your SD card with a ppc application called XDA-storagetools (do a google search)
I suspect it takes longer for the BT radio to start when you have a card inserted may be because the BT software is looking for a BT device in th SD slot??
I have the same problem too...If i want to reformat my SD card through card reader, do i just simply format it in the like of formatting, for example, drive c: ? I mean, just 'right click' on the SD card and choose 'format' ? Or do i need to use a specific software ? Thanx...
You cannot format a SD card from a card reader - windaz don't do it.
You need special software, try a google search for xda storage tools
Ok...thanx a lot. By the way, how do we know that a slower BT settings is affected by SD card ? Just my curiosity :}
I don't believe formating the sd card will make any difference.... just having the sd card inserted into the XDAII is enough to cause the problem.
Could it have something to do with when the XDAII is turned on, it has to read/regonsie the sd card first... and the BT settings has to wait for this to happen??
Hi - I'm a newbie toi the XDA2s & am quite impressed so far but...
Out the box with no card in the slot, it shows a storage card of 43Mb :!: , I assume this is a "virtual" card.
I have bought a 128Mb SD card (Kodak brand) and I can not get my XDA to recognise it at all :evil: - it stubbornly insists I have a 43Mb storage card, but when I hit "settings->about" the display correctly shows that the expansion slot is either "in use" or "Not in use" :?: :!: its just not able to use the memory on the card
I have tried the card in a card-reader attached to a PC and it looks fine, so what is going on?
My OS is Win Mobile 2003 2nd edition version 4.21.1088 (build 14132) and ROM version in 1.31.00WWE date 12/13/04
Hi,
Try (re)formatting in your PC and see if that helps. For 128Mb you probably want FAT16 filesystem with 2Kb clusters. Technically 128Mb is supposed to be 4Kb clusters, but since these things are always slightly smaller than they're supposed to be I'd try 2Kb and see how you go.
You can do this from MS-DOS with:
C:\> format X: /FS:FAT /A:2048
At least that should work (Change X: for the drive letter of the card!)
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the suggestion,
I tried it, but still no luck.
You could also try the "Storage Tools" located at:
http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html
You can download for free and although I don't know the limitations are of that version, I know you can format with it, as that's what I did (and all I did).
So hopefully you could format your SD card from their program for the Pocket PC. Just make sure you install the application into main memory since it can't format it if something's using it (although since you can't use the SD card I don't really suppose that'd be a problem!)
I had downloaded pocket mechanic which has a format utility, but this did not help
My issue is Where is this 43Mb card coming from? It is visible and useable whether or not I load my 128Mb SD card. Is there some way of disabling the SDIO port? This may be the problem

quick update:
I've figured out that the 43Mb Storage device must be onboard flash or similar and I have successfully used a 128Mb MMC card 1st time no problem, so the problem is either my SD Card, or my SDIO slot
I have heard that some SD cards are not recognised by PDAs, but the card I am using is happy in my PC. I hope its not the slot
I'm going to try a different SD card (when I can find one to borrow) and I'll post the results.[/u]
OK, so I tried another SD card and it still wasn't recognised; ergo, I have a problem with either the SD Slot, or esle a software config problem
Does anybody have any ideas where I might look to see if I have a software issue?
Thanks
Chris
I think you're looking at the storage folder - not the storage card. The folder is 43mb. If you're looking in system > memory, then change the drop down box from 'storage' to 'storage card'. You should then be able to view the card memory.
Have you tried saving anything in it via file explorer?

Hi JD, thanks for the reply;
I'd figured that bit out once I'd tried using an MMC card. I've renamed the mount point for MMC & SD cards and I can definitely say that MMC cards are fine, but SD cards are simply not recognized at all
I'm wondering whether I have a hardware problem i.e. broken SD slot, or whether there's something that I can look at with Windows i.e. a software config issue
Odd. SD and MMC are interchangeable, although I think MMC cards are slightly thicker.
Possily it makes contact with the card slot contacts when SD cards won't. Which would mean the slot is faulty.
Oh drat I suspected as much, but I thought I'd ask
I'm tempted just to ignore the problem and use MMC cards beacuse I don't want to return my new shiny toy
Thanks
Chris
If it's faulty, I uppose it's possible it will stop reading MMC as well at some stage, If it's stil under guarantee, I'd take it back.

SD cards are thicker than MMC, not vice versa.
Oh. That makes it harder to see why a faulty slot shouldn't be able to read an SD card.
I can't see any other answer though.
I have this strange problem.
today suddenly my sd card stoped working. so the first thing i suspected was that my sd card was broke but it turned out that my sd card was working fine but my himalaya doesnt show show the contents of the sd card.
if i check on my hima i see that the expansion slot is in use. so it knows that the sd card is inserted.
if i put in my sd card or pull it out the screen lights up again so that meens that the contacts are still intact.
i tested my card in my cardreader no problems. i tried another card still the same issue. i formatted the card didnt help either.
i already flashed a new rom. i cleaned all the contacts just in case that was the problem.
i checked all of the topics on this forum about this problem but it turned out that all of there sd cards where broke and that is not the issue here.
so i hope some one else can help me because i am desperate at the moment.
This may sound stupid but, do you use "WM5 Storage" ? Maybe you forgot to disable it after using it ? I have already been in this case, and this would be the reason why you can't read your card.
Even if you flash a new rom, if you forget to do it the right way (cleaning the registry hive and formating integrated storage), settings may still be there, and that would be why it does not solve your problem.
Try loading the "WM5 Storage" program and check if it is activated. If so, just disable it
I hope this helps...
i think that i have the same problem, cause im using kingston 2 gig sd card.. i have formated the disk drive. and the problem is my hima doesnt detect it after 5 minutes i play something in the sd card... its my 3 sd card ive change, i thought the card is faulty but when reading with card reader it has no problem at all.. im confused... btw im using wm6.1 from syed ather...

There are many reasons.
What I have observed, sometimes, it's because of the battery. There are some memory problems when you buy a new battery, actually, the warning is written on the battery pack.
So, before you buy, try to explore your folders if the storage card is visible. If not, ask for another stock of battery.
Sometimes, the battery is low and maybe the system blocks the usage of the sd card.
Sometimes, you got to check your folders via active, maybe there is such a file with a filename/s "ignore". I just forgot the whole filename but it definitely is read like that in a way. Delete it/them.
Or sometimes you need to softreset or clean your card slot or reformat the card. I just don't have any idea how you can clean them.
With regards to wm5torage, it has options, when checked hides the storage folder icon, and even sometimes erase all your storage card files. So be careful of using the options.
I use a 4G card on Atom Life, running WM 6.1. It will cause the system slowing down a lot after soft reset. Try to open \start menu\program\games (I have some games installed on card), it takes several minutes to load the menu. However, once complete, it will run very fast next time. It is ok when using a 1G or 2G card anyway.
I wonder if someone has a solution for it?
nothing

Hello, yesterday i found out that my cruise is not recognizing the MiniSD (2GB)! It was working fine a week before and it isn't.
When i am looking at the "About" it is written that the expansion slot is in use (the MiniSD is inserted) but in File Explorer i cannot see the folder and in "Memory" is written that the storage memory card is not installed!
The problem is not with the MiniSD, my cardreader reads it fine and my friends Cruise also reads it fine.
Does anybody had this issue before? Is there anything i can do?
Thank a lot
No wonder....
the device needs a micro SD

Ok
Sorry for the mistake, it is a micro SD!
this has not happened to my polaris but with my nokia the same thing happened, it was due to the fact the I had removed it from the phone and moved some stuff to it from my card reader and windows has made the device not readable from my phone, all I did was remove everything from the card from within windows then format the card while it was in the phone and moved everything back on to the card while in the phone and it worked fine after that.
Thank you dysolve, but how can i format the card when i cannot even "see" it on the phone?
hello,
i could not find any answer to my problem so I need to ask here.
After 1 and 1/2 years of using my mobile (O2 xda Orbit, WM6, tomtom6)without problems, since last week my 2GB sd card is not visible anymore. When I softreset the device a message comes up: do you want to format your sd card to make it readable? After formating the card, it is not shown on the file explorer. tomtom will not start. Things I tried already
- softreset
- several trials to remove and put back the card
- another sd card - same message as above
- use the sd card on my PC, works fine, writing and reading OK
- hardreset
Is this a software or a hardware problem.
I would appreciate all kind of help because I don't know what to do.
Thanks.
smell very hardware connector malfunction'ish
would try cleaning the slot
I already did. No result. Thanks anyway
