4gb sdhc problem - General Topics

Greetings, World.
Every now and then a complete idiot writes in and asks a stupid question.
Well I cannot be a complete idiot because I've had my appendix taken out, but I do have a major challenge with this old SPV M2000. I've gotten it shifted to Vodafone UK from Orange. However I've had no success getting it to notice that I've put in a 4Gb card. I assume it doesn't need formatting since it's brand new, and I haven't found how to as yet anyway. Anybody got any clues?

Your phone probably doesn't support the 4GB that use the 'new' SDHC format .

Sandisk 256MB + WiFi SD

Hi folks,
Does anyone have any info about sites that are selling these? Sandisk website has been updated with this product in their product line.
Cheers!

In the Netherlands there is a shop, where you can put in pre-order. A few weeks ago, the owner told me it should be here this month. Maybe you can try it there.
LINK TO THE DUTCH WEBSHOP
Good luck
ps, if you somehow be able to purchase one, can you please post your experience with this card? I'm thinking to buy one too... :lol: [/url]
I wrote a review of this card a few weeks ago, and it should appear at US retailers in the next week or two, I'm told. Not sure about overseas.
I've used it with my XDA II and it works well.
From what I've heard, you need Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition to support this card; does this mean you have SE for your XDA II?
-e
WM2003 SE is most definitely not required for the card.
I tested it in a variety of WM2003 PPCs and it worked fine. At the end of last year, SanDisk had the drivers working for SE but since have developed drivers for pre-SE versions of the OS.
There wouldn't be any point in releasing the card now if it only supported SE since the Dell X30 line are the only SE devices and two out of three come with integrated WiFi.
I have this Sandisk SD Card with 256Mb and WiFi, she doesn't work on my SPV M1000/Qtek 2020 1.66 FRA. It's impossible to format the SD card and the WiFi don't work.
Do you have any idea ?
Sandisk WIFI + 256 same problem here
i can't adress the 256 Storage.... and WIFI isn't working.
I did try different ROM's ....
Does anybody know how to solve this problem ???
Well, I certainly cannot help you but I can confirm the problems.
I have a MDA 2 mysqlf and running with the 1.72 firmware.
For users who are considering about buying the card, this is what I send to the sandisk support:
After having installed the card according to your instructions and having done a soft-reset I finally plugged in the card.
I am always asked whether to format the storage card.
Even if it is formatted I am not able to access the card (as storage card).
Every time I select the AP Browser the device freezes.
Even when I turn off radio mode the green light blinks and wifi is not turned off!
Sometimes the device freezes if I go to any tab of the configuration utility.
Selecting SanDisk Wi-Fi from Settings->Connections I sometimes see the message "Card not found" but the card is definitely inserted and even blinks.
Finally I am therefore not able to use the card neither as storage nor as wifi-card.

I the same problem exactly, can you have keep us informed of the response of the support?
By using the drivers for PPC 2002 (It's strange !!!), there is a small improvement since the WiFi is finally detectable! But the 256 Storage doesn't work
Detectable - but not that useable it should be.
Please keep in mind it will definitely help if other users/owners of this card write to Sandisk. They won't care much about our issues if only a single solemn user describes it to them but it will slightly increase the pressure if every one contacts them!
(Up to now no answer from Sandisk.)
I also wrote to the technical support for this problem...
You can buy that card in Germany (they're also shipping into thw whole EU) at Reichelt: http://www.reichelt.de.
Back to the problems: Have you noticed it? At the top of PPC 2002 drivers you can read "SanDisk... SD Card" where using PPC 2003 drivers you have to wonder about "SanDisk... CF Card"!
Finally, PPC 2002 drivers do detect the card as written above but it takes an unlimited amount of time activating radio (unsuccessfully). And please notice your SDBusDriver.dll is overwritten with one which may not be suitable for the device (else Qtek would have it delivered, not SanDis).
(Short: The utility does not freeze but you can't use the card anyway.)
This SD isn't compatible with the Qtek !!!

Unfortunately due to hardware limitations with your device the sd wifi 256mb will not work.

I am somewhat angry. They have explicitely listed the mda 2 in their compatibility charts!
SanDisk Response: (07/22/2004 10:29)
Unfortunately due to hardware limitation, the MDA II is not supported on the SD WIFI 256MB card. The single function one will work fine.

SAN Disk Answer for compatibility
Your Response:
...
http://www.sandisk.com/consumer/download/sdwifi/sdwifi_compatability_list.htm My device is a PDA of the 'xda II, mda II, i-mate (HTC)' type, as the mda II is the T-Mobile MDA2 (aka HTC Himalaya - look at www.xda-developers.com). So is there any chance of making the sandisk device work proper?
SanDisk Response:
Unfortunately, we are talking about 2 different devices.
The compatibility list you have mentioned is for SD WIFI CARD (no memory). The SD WIFI 256MB card is not compatible with your device.
Remark:
no memory = SDWSDB-000-E10, 256MB = SDWSDB-256-E10
hope that helps
Thanks, Clemens.
Here are some more details I received:
The dual function card will not work in the XDA due to luck of Custom Bus driver in the unit.

Well then, does anyone know how to recover the overwritten files? (SDBus*.dll) After having previously made a hard-reset I have not been able to find them (with Resco File Explorer and by Active Sync) and now another hard-reset would not be that funny.
Or, can anyone provide the original files for the others?
Same problem.....
SanDisk Response: (07/22/2004 10:22)
Unfortunately, due to hardware limitation with the MDA II the card will not work.

Your Response: (07/23/2004 09:59)
Thanks for your answer, before I ordered the card, I've successfully tested the MDAII with your Wi-Fi SD Card (the one without memory) and it worked fine. The MDA II has the same hardware as the HTC Himalaya. Is it possible to do a software/firmware update, or is it a real "HARDWARE"-problem?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SanDisk Response: (07/23/2004 03:05)
Due to lack of Custom Bus Driver in the unit the card will not work properly. More likely there will be need for a firmware update by the manufacturer of your unit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your Response: (07/23/2004 03:07)
Thanks, Finaly I have to return the WiFi -Card to the reseller where i bought it, I also tried the newest firmware (version 1.72 HTC Himalaya) and a second PDA-device with no success.... How can I be absolutely sure that the sd-card is 100% OK and has no defect?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SanDisk Response: (07/24/2004 08:52)
Are you refering to the SD CARD or SD WIFI 256MB CARD.
Okay or not the sd wifi 256mb card would not work in your unit.
Sorry not to come up with a solution, but you might take comfort from knowing that there are lots of posters who have had problems with their Sandisdk SD wifi card, me included. I'm at the end of my tether.
I am perservering with Sandisk tech support for now.
There are some useful posts if you search around with things to try to get it working, and some people seem to have had success.

largest compatible SD card?

Hello
I've ordered my XDA II and i'm just getting ready for it to arrive.
I have a 2gb SD card and a 2gb MiniSD card, what im wondering is, will this card work in the XDA II straight off?
i will be updating to the wm5 aku3.5 rom available, would that make any difference?
also, i read in another post that transfer speed is limited to 1mb/sec?! is this true?
whats peoples experience like with this phone and watching movies?
ta
I regularly use my phone for watching movies, no problem. I would however recommend you download this http://mytreo.net/downloads/details-651.html?The_Core_Pocket_Media_Player .
In case you haven't seen it for yourselves, there's a thread regarding your question over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282104

How use a 4GB Card on Qtek 9100 ?

Hi,
I bought a 4GB mini SD-Card from amazon. Now I realize, that it doesn't work
with my Pocket PC (Qtek 9100). During being in despair and searching for a soulution I read ofttimes that it is possible to use it, if I install a SDHC-driver or by installing WM6. I'm unfortunately an absoulute beginner without knowing what to do next. Any ideas what can I do to solve this problem? I have a HTC Qtek 9100. Thanks for your help!
greetings,
reptile_05
If it is an SDHC card you are probably on a lost cause. The Qtek 9100 was in production before the SDHC spec and cards appeared (June 2006). The price of relentless progress I am afraid.
What a pity!
You know if the are 4GB-cards, which I can use for my PPC ?
SDHC cards won't work. Some SD cards > 1Gb may work, it depends on the build date of your phone. Sorry I can't be more specific. More over at this thread. :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327865
A trial and error approach my be safest. Beg, borrow or steal a card to try it out, and if successful, try to track down the exact same item.
Good luck!

XDA Orbit memory card question.

Hi Everybody, this is my first post on here so go easy on me if its in the wrong place or something. I have searched this too with a few vague'ish answers so just thought I'd look for a definative one. My phone is a bog standard O2 XDA Orbit with Windows 5.0 What is the biggest memory card it will take. At the moment I have a 2GB one in there, works fine but I have 6GB of music and was wondering if one of those 8GB Micro SD HC cards would work in it as they seem very cheap to buy on EBay?? (And sorry again if this is a bit low-brow for this forum!!)
Thanks for any advice,
Steve.

Tracphone ZTE Atrium - need help

So my buddy bought his son his first phone. It's through Tracphone. ZTE Atrium. it's running Android 6.1 the thought was to buy a cheep phone to see if he takes care of it. Bad mistake. This phone is worthless.
The phone has no internal memory. Son put 3 games on it and it's full. I suggested getting a memory card and moving the apps to the card. Well after formatting the card, the phone won't move the apps to the card. I read online that android can format card as internal storage. nope. Someone said to format card in older android phone. Mine is version 5. That didn't help either. People said that android 6.1 changed how cards are used. I don't know as I have a galaxy s5 rooted with Android 5.
What can we do other than buy a better phone?
