When I reset my Treo 750 TomTom 6 autostart. It also autostarts when I reinsert my miniSD card.
Obviously, TomTom is installed on the SD card.
Is this normal operation or have I missed something?
Thanks!!
hi either encrypt the 2577 folder on the sd card or just erase it completely
Encrypt with the PC or is there a way to do it on the phone?

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 guys
sorry for this really newbie question but when installing new progs on the pocket pc, internal memory is used, correct? When the memory becomes used do the programs get loaded onto storage card? I have a 1 gb sd card.
Can you run programs from storage card? How does it work?
sd cards are slower then internal storage
sd cards have a limited number of writes before they die
when you install from the pc activesync when you can pick the sd card to if you say you dont want to install in the default place
things like today items should not be installed on sd's as it is slow
and gets turned off at times when the pda is "turned off"
sd cards can never act as application ram only storage
because of all the resons state over this
Alright, I want to flash my treo 500, downloaded the my_rose for xda & extracted the .abi file to a micro sd card, and now..? Turn the phone off, & on again while pressing the down button on the d-pad? Nothing happens, also nothing happens while tyring to do a hard reset on the phone..
The phone sees the sd card, so that should be good.
your sd card should be <2Gb
At boot, the treo 500 will only be able to read SD card, not High Capacity SD cards. Be sure your card in 2 Gb max.
A Treo flashing guide is available at

Howdy all,
I was adding a few themes to my phone, using Activesync to copy them to my 2gb storage card, which is about 30% full with music / apps / video / etc... I was looking through my themes (all on storage card) with Activesync connected and -poof- storage card vanished. I reset my phone and I get this message "Do you want to format this storage card to make it readable? this will permanently delete any files on the card." Of course I click "No"
Any ideas on fixing the storage card --what might be wrong? Any apps to help with this?
This is major problem number three with my phone --and all three problems (all three data loss) have been directly caused by Activesync...
Is there an alternative to Activesync --I am absolutely done with Microsoft.

Try to insert it into your Computer and rightclick at properties on your Card. Ther you can click on something like "scan for errors" This should fix the problems!

Hi people,everithing was workin fine until last week.I have igo8 installed on my memory card(Kingston 8gb)for about 4-5months and before some days makes me crazy,everytime i start it the aplication ask me to install it :O and to use the navigation i was forced to make all the steps everytime .I format Memory Card and install igo 8 again,no problems until yesterday,igo icon was blank and when i tap on it the phone freeze .I think the problem is in neotouch but i hope is in memory card or igo8.What do you think people?
here is screenshot of igo8 icon http://img80.imageshack.us/i/screen001ua.png/
same thing happens to me ,with other programm(Vito Notes).
i think it has to do with the s200 reading the SD.
Most definite it's a problem while reading the memory card. First step reboot and try again. Second step: Check the memory card in another computer. Third step: Remove any software which might "grab" the card handler. Hope that helps.
I always make all these steps without the last one.What you mean with "Remove any software which might "grab" the card handler"?And one more thing,when i check the files in IGO folder i found something crazy,files that i cant delete :O,here is the screenshot
Ouch. That looks like a corrupted file system on your card. If you got a valid backup from your card you should reformat the memory card and then copy all files back onto it. If not, backup all files (which are still readable) to a PC and then reformat the card, copy all other valid files back and reinstall the missing files.
Answer to the "grab" statement: Programs like CardExport or any other program which allows reading the memory card via USB connection will hide the memory card from your device while active by "grabbing" access to the memory card.
"That looks like a corrupted file system on your card".Yes,i think you are right.This is not the first time this happening,maybe is better to buy another card,because i format the card 3-4 times and have problems everytime?
Yes. It's not worth the trouble to use the faulty memory card any longer. (Life is too short ). Good luck.
Thanks,i will bye another one probably SanDisk i never had any problem whit.Now i am using Kingston and dont recommend it!Thanks again for helping me
