I have a new 8 GB Ultra SD card on my TP.
Copying 5-10MB file to SD card is very fast, but when I tried to copy 100MB file transfer is very very slow.
First I tried to copy a file from PC to SD card, than also from device internal memory to SD card. Exactly the same behaivor. At the beginning transfer data rate is about 1MB/s. After about 35% it drops to about 70KB/s. At the end is about 25KB/s only (very very slow).
SD card is formatted FAT32/512. It was formatted with two different programs.
Any hint?
Thanks for help in advance!
are you transferiing the file through active sync or disk drive mode
USb transfer is always slow, it if fastest for me to simply remove the card and use it directly on the PC. I know others do to.
get a better SD card? eg. Class 6?
Try tnyynt SD TuneUp (cab below). See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451983&page=2
I used this when I 1'st got my Micro SDHC Class 6 card:

Just a comment.
When I copy 250MB file from PC to SD card via Card Reader transfer is finished in 10 seconds. So I think that a card is not a problem (file system included).
I will try SD TuneUP.cab!
Also note the question from puddle22 above. Transfer via Activesync is always slower, primarily because it's a connection geared toward the entire pda system. If you connect as a usb drive, then it's just reading your SD card and should be much faster.
I understand that transfer rate on activesync is much slower, but with the rate of 50KB/s it is extremelly slow. On my HERMES with my old 2GB SD card is much much faster on big files (>100MB).
It is also strange that transfer from TP to SD card is very slow too.
That is odd. Just a shot in the dark here, but have you tried a different cable?

I've got some interesting issues with my sandisk 2G mini-sd card...
When saving camera photos directly to SD, I consistently get file sizes of 0b. When trying to open these files I get, of course, failures.
At first, I thought my sd is bad... However, I can copy picture files taken with the same program from the internal memory into the sd card and view them without problems both on the phone and using external readers. So it seems the sd is not bad after all.
Any thoughts? I have no idea how to approach this further... in additional directions or tests anyone?
Thanks!

have you tried to format the SD card with an external reader? i have a 1GB sandisk with no problems at all...
also try to copy from the pc to the SD in the phone a big file (30-40 MB) ,i have read that there are some issues with the mini-SDs and you can identify these issues if you cannot copy big files in the mini-SD from the computer...
I currently have a new TyTN II. I already had a 2gb microSD. Due to arrive in my hand shortly are a full version of TomTom 6 and a 4gb.
Is there a way to transfer all of the data/apps on the 2gb card to the 4 without having to re-install everything?
Just put the 2GB in your computer / an SD Card reader and copy the entire contents of the 2GB to a TEMP folder on your computer. Now remove the 2GB card and insert the empty 4GB card and recopy everything from the TEMP folder on your computer to the 4GB card.
SIMPLE!!!

Thank you for your response. To clarify my question with an example, if I had TomTom installed to the 2gb, would the process you describe work without reinstalling the program?
When you say "TEMP", do you mean just create a new folder on the desktop, for example?
It seems that I have tried to simply copy the contents and the programs then had to be reinstalled.
Yes it will work that way. I've done it many times, although not with tomtom, but every other app I have installed on it works so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. I've even copied my miniSD from my wizard on to my microSD for my Kaiser and all of the programs still work without being installed over again.
You can name the folder anything you want on your computer, besides, you may want to keep it for backup in case something happens to your card anyway. I backup my card about once a month since SD cards tend to corrupt a little too often.
I guess I have wasted a lot of hours of my life reinstalling apps when I have changed devices. HP4700 to TyTN to TyTN II over 3 years or so.
Thanks again for your help.
Hi all.
I have done some search in forums, but found nothing simmilar. So, here we go:
I've got myself 8GB SanDisk microSD class 4 memory card.
And now I have some strange behaviour from it:
- I can not copy files to it using Microsoft ActiveSync Explorer (I was able to do copying when I was using 2GB Kingston microSD card).
- I CAN copy files to it using MyMobileR ver 1.23 integrated Mobile Explorer
- camera often shows too small number of remaining pictures possible (at any resolution). Pictures are going to SD card, OFC...
No items are missing from SD card, no directory names are corrupted...
Card is about 65% used, mostly by iGO 2006 maps, pictures, pocket books and mp3's...
Any ideas?
same sd card works fine for me.
maybe your sd card has some corrupted areas?

I have the same SD card and no problems.
I expect that you are using the Polaris or other equipment that supports SDHC.
I would recommend to format the card using FAT32.
I'm new to Windows Mobile devices, having previously only used friends' before. I have orderer the Touch Pro, but I think this is more a general question, so I'm posting it here.
Is it safe to swap the SDHC cards while the device is on? I have ordered an 8GB card, but I also have a 4GB card already. I was wondering if I can put movies for example on the 4GB, while having music and everything else on the 8GB. This means I can bring more data with me.
Some programs will be installed on the storage card, so what happens when the card they are installed on is removed?
Also, is it best to install most things on the storage card or internal? I've seen reports of some programs not working well or at all unless installed internally. Is that common? Id rather not fill up the internal storage too fast.
Thank you
sum notes:
ur 4 gb card will prolly load up the appz much faster then the 8gb , i hate how slow my sandisk 8gb card is compared to my 4gb patriot card
definitely try to get the more xpensive higher speed cards
sum progs only work if u install it to the device memory and not the SDMMC
when u take out ur sdcard , and put in another one, u prolly gotta reboot so the pda can refresh/view it
to transfer files i use softick card exporter v3.12

ok, but what happens to programs? are the links still in the programs folder after the sdhc card they were installed on is removed?
if i have tomtom on the 4gb card and the rest on the 8gb card, will everything work ok without having to restart between swaps?

Any program you install on a card, if you remove the card, of course the program icons won't work. Just plug the card back in, no need to soft reset and it will work.
I suggest, use your 4 GB card for ALL your programs including TomTom with maps, so you can place all your videos and music on the bigger 8 GB card. I doubt you can fill the 4 GB with just programs, unless TomTom's maps are bigger than 4 GB. That way, the only time you have to insert the 8 GB card is during music and video playing.
Better yet, try installing ALL your programs on the 8 GB card, even music and video files. I am sure you will keep all your music files. For the video files, if you are like myself who after watching the converted DVD files, deletes them off the card so to place a new DVD movie file to watch. THERE IS NO NEED TO TAKE OFF THE CARD FROM THE DEVICE, all you need is WM5torage which is a FREE program that will let you view the card as an External Disk Drive. In other words, WM5torage turns your device into an instant card reader without removing the card itself from the device with just a push of a button. So deleting or file transfer is WAAAAYYYYY faster than using active sync.
Hello everybody, I've just bought my new Galaxy s, so I've put my old sd card into the phone but, surprise, the sd results unreadable and it's impossible to format. On the contrary, if i try to plug the sd card into an usb port of my PC: no problem.
The card was working very well till now on my samsung omnia.
Anybody encountered problem on sd card?
Is there a way to make the card readable again to the galaxy s?
thanks in advance...
my SD card is:
SanDisk Mobile Ultra® microSDHC™
the 16 GB sandisk micro sdhc card i just got in yesterday (and returned) came with a small 66k "media manager" program (full name "sandisk media manager") that one of the steps was for the user to select the actuall make/model of phone you wanted the media to format the card to or for
you might try sandisk's web and see if that program is available for download -
it installed on my computer, so i saved it for the next card, but, in case that helps
SOLVED!
Thank's for the tip.
I wasn't able to find the Sandisk tool, anyway I installed a software from HP to format the SD Card in FAT 32 filesystem, and .. it worked!
The sofwater is HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool (SP27608.exe), maybe it can be useful to others...
cheers
