running App on SD closes down when power on - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

Does anyone know how to get around this problem.
I have apps installed on the SD and when the Uni is switched ON, the app will close.
Tomal states that "It is because of the PM for SD. Also, latest kernel's are very "efficient"" and has suggested disabling Power Management for SD. This didn't fix it for me.
Has anyone any suggestions or fixes? Or perhaps this doesn't effect all SD cards (mine's a class 6 8GB)
(NB. I started a new thread as this is not a problem with Tomal's ROM, but seems to be a WM6.x 'feature').

Hi jon,
I've just tested it in 3 different SD cards.
Result is interesting: running application do not get closed for 2 of them but it is the same of you for another card!
Affected one is a 4GB SD, it is a non-branded card.
Hope this information helps.

Ah now this is interesting. I usually use SD Settings Type I for my card (I get better benchmark results). But in switching to Type II I now don't have the aformentioned problem.
Code:
measurements in ms Type-I Type-II
Write 1MB file 2370 6226
Read 1MB file 998 1502
Copy 1MB file to card 1156 5926
Copy 1MB file from card 2045 2773
Write 10k x100 files 6772 10490
Read 10k x100 files 1179 1579
Copy 10k x100 files to card 5778 10610
Copy 10k x100 files from card 4528 8913
Directory list of 2000 files 209 203
(using spb benchmark 1.6.0)
However, I really don't want this fix to be the only solution, as you can see the card runs a lot slower with Type-II settings
Anyone can test this out on their card... what is your card? Mine is veho 8GB class 6. [nb, ask me if you are interested in spb benchmark to test]

mini-sd issues

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...

4MB SD memory card

My Qtek 9000 cannot recognize 4GB SD card (DANE-ELETC)
Your help much appreciated.
Rom 2.05.00
Rom Date 04/09/07
Radio V. 1.15.00
Protocol 42.51.P8
I guess you mean 4Gb SD Card.
Is it SDHC?
If so, then it would be worth looking in the Universal accessories board at what people have to say, which is 'no' for the sdhc cards.
I bought a 4 Gb card but it is a non-sdhc type so that it would work.
Cheers

I can't seem to find the manufacturer's website. Can you post the the spec sheet of the model you have got?

Transcend 4GB 'SD' card getting corrupted repeatedly
I have one annoying problem,It is the third time that my Transcend 4GB SD card got corrupted without any reason ( as far as I know ).
It goes like this --I just moved one .jpg image ( clicked with my Universal ) from main memory to card -- a my document--my pictures folder,then I checked it ,the entire my document folder is empty..around 150 MB.No data recovery tool can retrieve it.
The default file explorer and Resco explore read the card differently --950 Mb and 1100 MB respectively.The data is gone,the space 150 MB is gone.On previous two occasions,there was not any transfer of any data from device to card yet it happened .I had the card replaced,but it is very annoying to live in this impending possibility of losing the data.
What is the cause of this problem?WM6?Universal?ROM?4GB?Transcend?
I never had this problem with 1 GB cards.What is the solution?Please suggest something,anything.
There are a couple of WM6 roms which can corrupt your SD card.
But it shouldn't make a difference if you have a 512 mb card or 4 gb.
Did you upgrade to WM6 and then got the 4gb card?
You could try to flash back to the original wm5 rom from your manufacturer, good change the problem's gone then.
ROM change?
No Sir,
I did have this problem with WM5 and to get rid of it I shifted to WM6,but the problem persists.Other people with WM5/6 with 'NCP' 4GB are doing fine,I am also going to try it.Like I said I never had any problems with 1GB.
I like the HTML mail support in WM6 and I need it for the attachments so I'd rather keep WM6.
One more thing, the file explorer SOMETIMES shows two separate folders viz. storage card 1 & storage card 2, and in storage card 1 there are only files called mail attachments.At the same time all the today shortcuts and programmes on the card are 'uninstalled',Then I have to hard reset and install the back-up file and everything comes to normal.What does it mean?Please clarify.

This is a known issue. Sometimes the system forgets about the exixstence of SD card. You can brows here for such cases. People claim that it happens while the battery goes low or for some other reason.
However, if this happens, and some of your apps are set up for using Storage Card for saving it's data, then the system creates a folder named "Storage Card" in the main memory. Then if you softreset or recharge your device, the system finds again your SD card and tries to give it a name "Storadge Card", but this already exists, so it names it as "Storadge Card1", and so on.
Solution:
Ither delete the "Storage Card" folder from main memory or rename it as you wish, and then rename your card as "Storage Card" and softreset your device. It should help.
okay

Okay,
Thanks for explaining and the simple solution.
But a soft reset doesn't solve it,reinstalling the backup(I use SPB)does.
But what about the card getting corrupted,losing data and vanishing folders?Is there any cause and solution for it? Or should I go for another card manufacturer as decided?

SDHC start at 2gb, you have a normal SD.
Native universal SD driver does not support SDHC, the driver ignores CMD8 that is required for SDHC to work. I've purchased 8Gb card and can tell that after patching - Uni started to recognize it. But testing is required before publishing a patch.

Does this patch involve physically deforming the SD Card such that its lifetime warranty (lifetime warranty is applicable to some SD cards only) becomes void?

microSDHC 6gb working on my p3600

I have now a microSDHC 6gb in my p3600.
It is a Sandisk microSDHC 6gb in a microSD to miniSD adapter from Kingston.
I have about 4.5 gb data on it, many mp3's.
On this moment it works fine. Have anybody try this before?
(I have AX3L WM6 rom on my p3600)
Brilliant!
It boggles my mind why they have 6/8 gb micros, but not minis....soooo irritating. Guess I'll give your method a try since it seems to be working. Looking forward to more than 4gb on my phone!!!
Mike
Please tell me if you need any patch to do that?
I also have 3.0.8..AX3L WM6, please tel me if I need further patch or cab to enable my trinity SDHC compatible as when I was downloading the ROM I saw a SDhc cab I wasn't sure that time if I should had download & install it to make my trinity SDHC compatible. Plaese anybody guide me I'll be very thankful. I intend to buy 8gb sdhc. ???? please email me at [email protected] as I might loose track of this thread. Thanks
I have installed AX3L 3.1.1 Lite.
I didn't load a SDHC patch. I had buy a miniSDHC 4 gb and it works without a problem.
Now I have the MicroSDHC 6gb.
The 8gb MicroSDHC is comming in the next months.
Cool, thanks for the conformation that 6GB MicoSDHC’s with Micro>Mini adapters work in our WM6 Trinity.
Has anyone else tried a 6GB in a WM5 ROM by using the various patches around?
There are so many RegEdits and DLL’s floating around for SDHC support that I thought I’d try and collate them by viewing the contents of the CAB’s and doing some binary comparisons.
These are just my opinions and I welcome anyone who can correct/enlighten me.
1)
HTC_SDHCsettings.cab – 4.4KB
This one from lvsw basically adds a bunch of registry keys about BuiltIn SDHC and StorageManager but doesn’t add or modify any files.
2)
sdhc.cab – 66.4KB
This can be found all over the forum under different names. It adds two DLL’s but doesn’t add/modify the registry.
a) sdbus.dll – 47.4KB
b) sdmemory.dll – 15.4KB
3)
miniSD HC Patch v2.2.cab – 15.6KB
This one by AX3L adds the same sdmemory.dll from 2b and nothing else.
4)
SDHC drivers WM6.zip and here– 69.4KB
This has some extra fixes that have been proven to work in E-TEN’s.
a) sdhc.cab with the same two DLL’s as 2a&b.
b) Certs.cab – 4.59KB which adds a bunch of certifications (not sure what else it does).
After installing the two DLL’s to \Windows\ and the Cert’s, then you copy these two slightly different DLL’s across.
c) sdbus.dll – 47.8KB
d) sdmemory.dll – 15.8KB
I don’t have a SDHC to try this out on but will get one while in Japan next month. It would be nice if someone could try out a combination of these on WM5 to see if they work. I think a combination of 1 & 4 might do the trick
@ janegsm or anyone with AX3L 3.1.1 please check out these two sets of DLL’s and do a binary comparison with the ones installed on your ROM.
Would be nice to get some closure on this
OK, so I dumped AX3L’s 3.1.2c and did a binary comparison on the apparent DLL’s. As suspected they are different again to the previous DLL sets.
Only problem is, I don’t know what to do with the S000,S001,… files, convert them to reg entries? They mention reading the cards using block mode addressing and not byte mode addressing which is promising.
AX3L has pointed out on other threads that SDHC is controlled by many DLL’s and they are ROM specific, so I might just be talking round in circles, but if someone can do something useful with this then we might be able to get a working SDHC patch for the Trinity!
BTW janegsm, what class of MicroSDHC do you have? Class 4 appears to be most common at the moment.
im interested to know whether anyone has these running on a standard WM6 rom from HTC.
Also, are there any speed related issues with using microSD cards? there certainly are speed differences between SD and miniSD cards (mainly noticeable in my digital camera though).
Lastly, i can't seem to find any miniSDHC cards over 4gb. Is it just me, or there really isn't any out there? Why are there larger capacities for microSD and SD formats?

Simple... electronics are getting smaller thereby the need to use a smaller card i.e. less real estate for the socket. Lots of companies are shying away from the mini to migrate to the micro. Mini manufactures see this trend and don't wish to spend resources developing and tooling for the mini when a micro with adapter will do the same thing. Hope this helps
umh, no one have try micro sdhc on WM5? the fix realy work?
where i can buy only micro to mini sd adapter? i have find only kingston package with micro to mini, micro to sd and micro sd of 1GB or 2Gb not more big.
I have WM6 ROM on my p3600.
I had buy a Sandisk microSDHC 6gb class 4.
Also I buy a Kingston 2gb micro, this is a set with 2 adapters: microSD to miniSD and microSD to SD.
I use only the sandisk 6gb and the microSD to miniSD adapter.
(I sell the 2gb MicroSD)
(When the Sandisk microSDHC 8gb comms I will buy the 8gb to.)

No luck with WM5. I tried all the options above (except #3) and the best I could get was to have a 6GB micro SD recognized as a 2GB card. Any solutions that will work with WM5 would be welcome, as WM6 is not an option for me right now.

Gutted, I still haven't heard of anyone getting this to work with a WM5 Trinity
Have you tried using AX3L's DLL's (from post 6 of this thread) after installing the certs.cab?
There has been a surprising amount of success here which is exactly the same as option #4 of my post you quoted.
I still don't have a SDHC card but will probably jump straight to the 8GB, although there still seems to be issues being able to see more than 4GB of the 8GB cards even using Trinity WM6.
Now I'm even more determined to get this working on WM5.

I followed up on both of your suggestions. I tried the thread you pointed me to and I tried using AX3L's DLL's. The only thing I got out of the process was a lot of trouble overwriting the DLL's. When I succeeded, the cards were not showing up at all. Otherwise, the system only saw 1.7gb of my 6gb Micro SDHC.

New Problems with Micro SDHC Card, help needed
Problem: I was using a SanDisk 6GB MicroSDHC Card with MiniSD-Adaptor in my Trinity (P3600):
With the Original WM5 Rom there was no chance; when I switched to Bepe's WM6 German it was recognized at once and working (still I think a bit slower than a 4GB MiniSD Card) but the older my installation of WM6 got (or perhaps the MicroSDHC Card) the problems got worse: Very slow when using something that was on the Card and finally no chance to work with the card anymore. Then I formatted the card in my PC and did a new installation of the same Bepe WM6 ROM on my P3600. Since that time there is no chance to use the card in the phone: it doesn't get recognized, did't matter what I tried. But in my much older TyTN with WM6, the card works perfectly!?!
Maybe anybody has an idea. e.g.: I wanted to format it in my Trinity or TyTN, but I can't find any option for that.
(Funny: When I put on my camera in Trinity, it asks to use Main or Card memory, I chose card an it hangs (needs softreset); memory manager says no card at same time; I put the card out and in my TyTN and open explorer and can see that the trinity has made new my documents and pictures folders on the card???)
edit: Seems to be a Trinity failure: Now I tried my older 4GB MiniSD card and 2GB MiniSD card in the Trinity and it doesn't recognize any of it; so it should be a Trinity failure?
Does anybody have a clou what I could try to do or will the device have to go to repair?
Thanks a lot for any suggestions!

Hot swapping sdhc cards

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
GL
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.

Samsung 64GB SD Card - SO SLOW

So I ordered a Samsung 64GB Class 10 micro SD card, and it seems VERY slow.
While I gone so much mind the slowness, as I dont play a lot of games and would use it more for pictures and music I was wondering if I could get a few questions answered before I send it back or just give it to someone else.
1: Does the S4 have problems with 64GB cards?
- I am running Sacs KitKat V2
2: should I format with a format (NSFT/exFat) and is it better done on a Mac or PC?
3: what should the Unit Size be?
4: I just copied my old sd card on to this one, and some of the big games I do have stopped showing up. but when I put my old card back in, they are there again.
Why would this happen?
Thanks for the help everyone!
You have to format the card using the phone itself. Go into settings then storage and the option should be there. Try that, then re-copy your stuff to the card. If you still have problem then it is probably a dud card.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
You shouldn't re-format it at all from stock, but if you do you should try the official SD Formatter: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
I have a samsung 64GB microsd in my S4 and it's ridiculously fast according to SD Tools (http://i.imgur.com/EXUVIP7.png), probably a caching causing that; but anyways, it's great in normal use copying roms over/etc.

No, samsung does claim the card gets 70MB/s read and 20MB/s write - and the reviews on amazon match that even for the lower priced card:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-64GB-PLUS-Micro-Adapter/dp/B00I4ZMNY4/
Obviously the SD Tools benchmark isn't testing the actual card performance, but what matters is that in actual use the samsung cards are great.
Windows/crystaldiskmark can also easily be used to do a real test.
Here's in a usb 2.0 card reader:

Sequential Write : 17.352 MB/s
Random Read 512KB : 22.898 MB/s
Random Write 512KB : 16.407 MB/s
Test : 100 MB [D: 32.1% (18.8/58.5 GB)] (x5)
Date : 2014/03/26 11:16:15
OS : Windows 8.1 [6.3 Build 9600] (x64)
If @chaos67731 isn't getting at minimum 10-20MB/s after formatting the card then there's probably something wrong with it.

1: Does the S4 have problems with 64GB cards?
- I am running Sacs KitKat V2
2: should I format with a format (NSFT/exFat) and is it better done on a Mac or PC?
3: what should the Unit Size be?
4: I just copied my old sd card on to this one, and some of the big games I do have stopped showing up. but when I put my old card back in, they are there again.

1: A good amount of users (including me) had problems with their SD cards on S4s. The problems are between:
occasional unmount/remount (the system does this for no apparent reason). S4 cant read cards after a sudden unmount, and cards usually get killed. most of the cards reported are 16,32 and 64 GB micro SD kingstone. SandDisk has problems too but I'm not sure about Samsung's.
2: Just use the official SD formatter mentioned by @Oishikatta above.
3: if you used the official SD formatter you wont have to deal with Unit Size. (personally, I dont know what's that)
4: Do you use a card reader when you copy your memory card? or do you just connect the phone using a cable? try using a card reader when copying your SDs. Some hidden files may not appear if you used the cable.
I hope I helped and excuse my English, its not my native language.
Well if you have a SanDisk they want you to format exfat. http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/d...sion/L3RpbWUvMTM5NTg5ODI5OS9zaWQvRDdTTFVmUWw=

No, samsung does claim the card gets 70MB/s read and 20MB/s write.

Sure, on a PC with an appropiate very fast SD-card reader. Using a phone you won't get those advertized speeds.
This is the result with a more proper SD-benchmarking app (although internal and external SD are shown in reverse):
These values will be more realistic. SD-Tools results (cached) don't mean jack, unfortunately.
