URGENT HELP: XDA II and 1GB SD card problem - General Topics

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.

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?

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...

If you did your "homework" what made you think you couldn't?
You can even use that 64 GB SDHX (or whatever it is called) from San Disk.
It's quite expensive, but is said to work just fine.

Yes
quite simply put, it can be used, but I've noticed my XE has become slower at reading photos/pictures from it, not sure if the RAM can handle it comfortably

It's possible to increase SD speed? :O I didn't knew it. If it's possible then I think I'll try to increase my SD speed .
Btw, I have a 8 GB SD with Class 4 and its not that fast as I thought. Whatever... thanks for the info.

For 8 GB, Class 4, you set at 2048 kb. Put a check mark on "Set on every reboot", and restart.

simply go to market ,,,
search SD Speed Increase..........
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sdincrease.it&feature=search_result
did you guys actually notice any "speed increase" after you used that app??
well, I tried it on my 16gb class4 (as well as 4gb class2) card...and the difference is bare minimum...
infact, if I wasn't paying attention to that "speed" thing, I would have barely noticed anything...
so, did it actually work for anyone??

There is a program of the SD Speed ​​Increase which can be adjusted up to 4096 kb. I do not know how much I need to configure it for my Micro SD Card.
trying
i'll try that market app
if we using SD Speed increase is there a chance to broke the SD Card?

i dont think so because in the app cpu master free there is an option to increase the sd card speed..i had done it once and i dint face any problems..........
Of course there is a market app but it may slow down boot time as it must run on every boot...running script in init.d folder is the best way
maybe know u didn't face any problem, but in the future? dont know either
Well honestly cant say anything abt future..but i experienced slow write speed after partitioning n moving apps to sd ext..previously write speed was well btwn 5-6mbps but now its 3-4mbps..using class 4 8 gb
