Hi, I recently bought a 2GB MiniSD card for my Treo750v. When I put it into the system it worked fine, I installed some programs and put some music on. Then I left the phone alone for a while and the automatic keylock came on. When I returned to the phone and activated it from keylock the sound that is played when removing the card was heard and it reported that there was no card installed when there clearly was. To return the card to working order i had to remove and re-insert it. After that it was fine until keylock came back on and the same thing happened again!
Anyone got any ideas on why this is doing what it is doing!
Point to note, the card works perfectly in an HP device running WM5 and my Digital Camera!
I am starting to think this is a "problem" with the Treo because mine does the same with a 512mb card. Sometimes it wont be "seen" by the PDA but not a problem when put in my other pda.......

I get the same thing, also with a 2 gig card. But it happens only every other day or so. Still very annoying. Have no clue why this is happening.
I had the same trouble, too. But the trouble has already disappeared by replacement of 2GB mini SD to 1GB mini SD.
Remainning problem is that Spb pocket plus still cannot get application icons on storage card.
Went to a Vodafone store today and told them about the issue. They said it is a known issue and was a problem on a couple devices. They said if I would bring the box and invoice, they would exchange the device. Will do that in the next few days. Hope that solves it.
I have the same problem with my 512mb card and my 2Gig card. But I am in the U.S. and cant bring it in to Vodafone. Does anyone know what else can be done?
I should've did some homework and checked this forum before jumping on my 2GB which I bought 3 days ago. 'doh... I have the same issue here... except in the midst of playing with it, inserting and removing etc... all the data got corrupted. I have to figure out how to reformat the whole card.
Hopefully, there's a software fix later.
Hey
Thanks guys n gals for ur help!
magxs I might have to do the same!!!
Oh bum, silly silly smartphones! I just want something that works!
I've also been having problems with my Treo 750v and the miniSD card (2GB SanDisk Ultra II).
When I insert the card, the Treo sees it and can run programs that are installed on it. When I return the Treo after it has been off for a while the card is no longer recognised and the memory manager claims that no storage card is installed. At this point all I can do is either take the card out and reinsert it, or otherwise to a soft reset. The time it takes for the Treo to loose its connection to the card varies; sometimes I can turn it on after a few minutes and the card is gone, sometimes it still works after a couple of hours.
When I came across this discussion yesterday, I phoned up Vodafone and reported my issue. According to the customer service rep, this is not on their list of known issues but he agreed to an exchange anyway. I'll get the new device today. I hope that'll fix it, but by now have my doubts.
Someone else suggested formatting the SD card, citing issues with FAT16 vs FAT32. I might try that if the new Treo still suffers the same issue.
In another thread on this topic, someone reported that such an issue was observed on some other PPC device and was fixed by a ROM upgrade. I emailed Palm about it. Palm eventually got back to me today saying:
This may occur only with cards that are not Palm branded. If possible please try to use a Palm card to test it.

Either that's a lame excuse, or they're trying to force people into buying their overpriced own branded accessories by making their hardware incompatible with the industry standard. Unless SanDisk don't know how to make miniSD cards...
I guess my next step - after the reformatting - will be to throw £60 at a Palm branded storage card; I don't expect that would work any better than my current card, but at least then Palm can't argue that I'm using "unsupported hardware".
I exchanged my Treo yesterday at a different Vodafone store. The people there didn't know anything about SD card issues either, but they exchanged it anyway. Have been running the new device for about 24 hrs now and no issues, yet. But even on the first device, the problems only started later and even then it wasn't an everyday occurrence. So, I will need to watch it a bit longer.
new rom
Have you tried loading the Cingular ROM and see if it fixes this problem?
After two full days with my new Treo, the SD card was lost again over night. So, it doesn't seem to be an issue that just a few devices were affected by. Too bad....
I didn't try any other ROMs yet.
I have the Cingular ROM, and have the same exact problem.
hi,
i am new to this board and hope you dont mind my bad english. i am from germany and proud owner of a treo 750v
and i tell you what: i am so glad i am not alone with the storage card problem.
it was nearly making me mad.
now i know that there are a lot of other people with the same problem. that may not solve it but gives me a better feeling an hope for an update which solves that.
PS: i use a 1gb sandisk
Well It's working
I bought another MiniSD card the other day, a 512Mb Kingston one, and so far so good, it works well (about 5 days now) and has not been "lost" so far! Not sure if it's the size of card or the make or what but I will keep investigating this!
Hope you resolve your issues!!

What kind of card did you have issues with?
I get the feeling the this might be related to specific cards. To find out: please everybody state which card you are using and if you have problems.
I'm using Sandisk Ultra II 2GB and it's dropping out.
Thanks

i am using sandisc (normal) 1 gb and have the problems.
Card Type
Mine was a generic 2GB card bought on EBAY but the one that is working now is a Kingston 512MB card. The Generic 2GB works perfectly in my Digital camera. There are no Identifying marks on the 2GB card sadly so Cannot say for sure who makes it!
I'm also using a SanDisk Ultra II 2GB, and it's getting dropped regularly.
Sounds like SanDisk is the one to blame.
But would be good to have more reports before we all go out buying new cards. Keep em coming...
Recently received my orbit 2 and it came with a 1gb micro sd card and copilot. I want to upgrade to a larger card but will that mean losing copolit? Not sure if it installed itself on the card the first time I turned on the device, or if it came on the card to begin with. If that's the case, how do I switch this over to another card? Thanks.
Everytime I upgraded my MicroSD card, I just copied everything I had on the card to a folder on my computer, then inserted the new card in the phone and copied it back.
Everything ran the same exact way as it did before I upgraded the card. Even all my applications that were installed on the card.
Great, thanks
Was about to buy a new card (going for 2gb), when I found a few choices:
- sandisk micro sd
- sandisk micro sd premier
- or I could go for sandisk 4gb sdhc
Is there any difference in performance or anything else between the above? Any advice on best option for the orbit2 (or even other brands)?
Cheers.
I'm using a Sandisk 4gb SDHC card. Works great.
If i'm not wrong SDHC is a completely new technology, and the cruise is one of the first to support it.
Thanks, I was impatient and just went for the normal 2gb

I just dumped a 2gb in favour of an 8gb. It was only £30 or so, might as well!
SDHC
I cant get my orbit 2 to see an sdhc card. Can anyone help?
Hello !
Someone got the same problem ?

corrupted my 8GB Sandisk Ultra II after 3 days of use.
The card could be read INSIDE of my Raphael but not on my PC with different card readers. This would be a minor problem but my Raphael also destroyed randomly files on the card too.
I thought the Micro SDHC Card was defective and send it back.
Now I own a Sandisk 16GB Card and it got also courrupted in like 2 days of use.
Some file from my *Notes* was thrashed and other files followed.
Raphael will try to open the file and then stay busy. After like 20 seconds a message containing "There is not enough memory " pop up... (150MB free ram should be enough to open a 2 kb Notes-file )
Wierd thing -> My *old* Sandisk 6 GB MicroSDHC Card I own for more than half a year now works flawlessly... (Till yet )
Someone here got the same experiences ?
Someone got some advice for me ?
I read something about updated SD sdrivers from member Tucan which he cooked into a german stock rom. Are they any good for me ?
Is there a Rom which should solve my problems ?
Help will be really appreciated !!
im sorry but the new memory you have must be fake, that explains why it works with your old mem, and why after sending it back, the same place sent you another fake.
Oh lord here we go, I just ordered my 8gb MicroSDHC card from newegg since the Fuze will be out soon I hope this isn't a common problem.
I corrupted my 8GB once, but by my own fault. I was in the middle of a transfer and was connected as a hard drive, not through activesync, and hit the power button which disconnected it from the computer. I hooked it up as a hard drive again, went into windows and reformatted the MicroSD... No issues from then on.

I ordered both cards from completly different places, so that is unlikely.
They did work normaly (some days) even on my PC, so I guess it is my Raph which corrupted them

I´m always *releasing* my harddrives/cards (on my PC) with the icon in the lower right corner to be save from what you experienced.
Oh man. I have the 16GB Card sitting here and cant use it... I will try it in my old XDA Trion (aka Hermes) for the next days ...
Anyway thanks for your replys !
Someone else has some thoughts about the problem ?
Maybe it has something to do with all the powersaving *features* beeing enabled through -Advanced Config 3.2- and -Diamond Tweak- ?
Well I'm using the same rom as you and was using an 8gb Sandisk card until I got a 16gb Sandisk card and both work flawlessly I'm afraid. I have also applied the power saving tweaks you mention with no ill effect.
using 8gb for about a month now, no problems at all.
Oh, I should mention I've heard many people talk about how there were a lot of Tilts that corrupted MicroSD cards. It was a flaw from the factory, apparently affected a number of them. I wouldn't be surprised of HTC saw some of the same issues with the Fuze, knowing all of the issues they've had already.
My 8gb card works just fine.
For reference, I'm using an A-DATA Class-6 8gb microSD purchased from NewEgg. Cheap, fast, reliable, perfect.
16gb bog standard San Disk Micro SD is working fine at the moment.
Formatted using Panasonic's SD Formatter as I corrupted it before I even put it in the Pro.
my 8GB works fine too
Maybe if everybody posts the brand name of their cards we can determine if this has something to do with the issues.
I remember with my Hermes I had to get a specific brand and produced from a certain plant to not have any issues. I still have my Kingston Micro SD from the Japan plant with no issues.
Using 8Gb and 16Gb of Sandisk with no probs on my Touch Pro.
Hi,
I may be barking up the wrong tree here but are you sure you have not enabled the Encryption setting under Settings. This will encrypt the storage card so it can only be read from the phone. Removing the card and placing in a PC or Laptop would show up as corrupted.
I selected it by mistake once and it corrupted my folder tree and showed garbage.
Not saying this is what is up but is worth looking at.
Personally I have a 16GB SanDisk card in my Touch Pro and it been OK. Been running for about 3 weeks now.
John
maybe the cardreaders from youre PC are not compatible with sdhc.
This is redundand and it may be opinion but im looking into buying a class 6 8gig. Is adata reliable? What company is the best in your opinions for what im looking for. Fastest?

Sandisk. Always. Forever. For my memory cards at least
FYI...
I put a 16Gb Sandisk in my TP on monday (5 days ago)... not a single problem with it and no corrupted files either.
I was previously using my 4Gb Sandisk card from my old Kaiser... which also worked perfectly fine.
Had a Sandisk 8GB card in mine, no problems. Now have a 16GB Sandisk, no problems.
For me I'll buy Sandisk, and only Sandisk, for my memory cards.
I have the very chip you described in my kaiser (class 6 a-data 8gb) runs without a problem. I've never really had much problems with microsd chips but I gotta admit I got a little worries when this thread poped up not so much about the chip but the phone itself, I've never had a bad chip in my life bought about 20 or so thus far, the a-data does well in terms of speed nothing to be excisted about but for it's class and size it holds its own.
I took out my microsd card from my old 8525 and put it in my fuze and it will not read it. I put it back in my 8525 and it reads it fine. I also use an adapter for my pc and windows reads it fine. Just got the phone today about 20 minutes ago. Could the microsd slot be bad? and YES I am putting it in the correct way. The SD cad is a 2GB kingston.
2GB SD cards are picky. I have a 2GB card in my camera that my laptop will only recognize about 50-75% of the time, although I've never had a problem with it in my camera nor with the card reader I have plugged into my other computer. Of course, it could be a defective slot in the phone, too. The only way to tell is to try with another card (preferably a different size).
microSD cards are cheap. I'd suggest getting a 4GB or 8GB card and seeing if the phone accepts that; if so, just use your pc to copy all the data from the old card onto your hard drive and then onto the new card. If not, you've still got a new card as well as evidence that the phone needs to be replaced.

Guess ill have to run to walmart and give one a try.
Actually I did a hrd reset and now it will read it fine. Guess its just typical windows BS.
Ok, so I just bought an 8GB Transcend SDHC Class 6 from Amazon. My Fuze (with default ATT rom) won't recognize it, but my friend's Verizon Touch Pro does. It also works in my laptops SD slot with the adapter. I tried formatting it, but my phone still doesn't see it. I tried googling for help, but the only thing I found is wm5/6 having issues with SDHC. The Fuze is supposed to be compatible, right?
Is there anything you guys could would suggest? I found a SDHC.cab file, but it doesn't do anything.
-nate
also, my 2GB Kingston works fine.
I have found Transcend SDs to be iffy.
I've been using a Transcend Class 6 microSDHC card that I purchased from Newegg (with miniature USB reader) since day one with my Fuze, hasn't missed a beat. Sounds like you may just have a faulty one.
This is what I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208460
same problem here, please help ..........
Using a Transcend 8GB Micro here no probs at all!! Been using for months I'd say
GL
JFlitt
So here's what I tested:
I bought 2 of the Transcend 8GB C6 cards.
Neither card worked in my Fuze or my bosses Fuze.
Both cards worked in a Verizon Touch Pro.
Both cards worked in multiple Verizon 6800's.
I found a friend with a Trans 8GB CLASS 4 card, it works in my phone.
I sold one of the class 6 cards and traded the other to my friend.
Oh also mine does say C6 on it, or more specifically a 6 with a C around it!
Thanks
JFlitt
Sandisk is the only way to go..pretty cheap on Amazon
You know just for the hell of it, one of you guys w/ the 8gb card should dl and try the Panasonic SD formatter program. Google it. I have one that just says V2.
I had weird issues w/ a 4 gig card, reformatted it numerous times, w/ numerous programs nothing worked until this panasonic program i found.
SDFormatter V.2
My 8GB Transcend Class 6 works great in my FUZE. What I found interesting is that I bought an 8GB Transcend in November for $16 and another in January for $15 but now they cost $21! How does the price RISE $6 in 6 months? I think there is something fishy going on in flash memory prices. They had working 32GB prototype cards a year ago yet they still are not out.
it could be putting the storage card at the bottom of the list in file explorer. you made sure it wasnt there by looking at the storage card tab under memory settings right?
Trying it Now

Using http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.html
Tried 1. quick format, format size adjustment off- no luck
now trying 2. full format(flash erase on), format size adjustment off- no luck
Maybe something like this would work:

I've got the same card with the same problem. The card actually worked for the first time, but after flashing a new ROM onto the device, the storage card was no longer accessible from the phone itself while it is from card reader. Formatting does nothing.
I had an issue like this once with SD cards on a Dell Axim but it turned out to be the fault of the WMDRM folder--which isn't the case here since the card is empty now.
Is there some other method in which the device locks the card?
Just wanted to throw my two cents in. I bought two Transcend 4gb class 6 SDHC cards, both of which worked find in my computer and camera, but neither worked in my Fuze. I ended up buying a Sandisk card which is working famously in my device. However, it is only a Class 4 card... Hey, as long as I can save and playback video to it without interruption, I'm happy.

So it stopped working after flashing a new ROM? Have you tried going back or flashing a different ROM? It could be a problem with the ROM if the problem started happening after you flashed a new ROM.

I've gone back to that ROM with no success and on to different ROMs with no luck. Changing Device ID doesn't seem to help.
I will try that format utility when I get home.
My 64MB Sandisk works fine however.
The only way to access the 8GB Transcend card is to install wm5torage and use the phone as a reader, so it's not a hardware issue. The storage card itself cannot be viewed in File Explorer/TC or through ActiveSync--basically WM refuses to acknowledge its existence.
No deal with the Panasonic format program.
I'll just use the card in my Garmin for MP3s instead.
The card just arrived from Amazon for me, and it isn't working. I should've searched this up before buying the card. Still no fixes?
i have trancend microsdhc class 6, 8gb and not working in my raphael (asia wwe stock rom)
is there any chance that upgrade rom to the newer one / flash custom rom will fix this issue? panasonic sd formater didn't help.
i have this card 1month and it work ok for me. one day card crash i get new (same) but device don´t see this card. i try new rom, panasonic sd format but no change.
i try 8gb sandisk class 4 and kingston class 6 and this cards works ok.
