O2 XDA Orbit 2 Storage Card Problem - General Topics

Hello,
In an attempt to cure messaging refusing to start up I took out the storage card, soft reset, after restarting inserted the same card. Since then the card has automatically been renamed to 'Storage Card2', and none of the programs on it will work.
Why, and what can I do to cure it please?
Cheers, Guy.

Don't Panic
Hello dumb-bo calling??!!
I saw that there was two storage cards listed on file explorer so I deleted 'Storage Card' and renamed 'Storage Card2' to 'Storage Card', and all is well.
Cheers, Guy.

Slow mount of SD Card is freakin' irritating!

I'm using WM6 (mUn), and I'd like to store my e-mail on my SD Card. But the card takes too long to mount, so when Cingular 8125 boots up, it creates a new "Storage Card" folder to put the mail in, and mounts my actual Storage Card as "Storage Card2"...
If I remove the "PropertyPath" value in the Registry, it mounts my card normally, but my e-mail (poutlook.exe) is placed in "Windows\Messaging" on the main memory. This seriousl limits the amount of mail I can have in poutlook. (I am storing attachments on the SD card - but that is insufficient for what I need.)
I know that the problem is related to order things happen at boot time (and after a power-on restart), but is there a solution to this _ANNOYING_ design flaw from Microsoft?
Is there any way to talk to Microsoft about this issue - clearly any other "computer" mounts it's storage devices before it starts looking for places to store things. Why does Windows Mobile (all versions) choose to do this in such a retarded way?

Ummm...have you renamed the new folder it creates to storage card.bak, then reboot and put your card back in and see if it stops doing that.
This is a common problem on the Tmobile Wizard I am using, that solved my problem.
But, it stopped doing that since I went to Xplore rom. Also, remove messagin from the today screen, it might be what is also causing it.
Good luck.

Mail program accessing storage card before it has started

Using HTC Cavalier with WM6, trying to get my mail stored on the storage card.
The registry edits work to direct the mail onto the storage card, but when the phone boots up, the storage card does not start soon enough and the mail program creates a "Storage Card" directory in main memory. Then when the "real" storage card starts, the phone renames it to "Storage Card2" which messes everything up big time.
Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? Please help.
I have tried renaming the in-memory storage card directory to "Storage Card.bak" and rebooting, but then I get yet another "Storage Card" created in main memory in addition to the "Storage Card.bak" and "Storage Card2".

Is this my SD card giving me problems?

Hi All - I've got an unlocked 750 using it on T-Mobile. It's been working great up until a few weeks ago. It stopped downloading email. If I take out the SD card, the email downloads. Put the SD card back and once again email doesn't download. In fact, I can't even open the program with the SD card in place. The phone locks up. I've done multiple soft resets with the card in place and out.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Check out for SD card slot or SD card.
It is 5% chance to have that problem because of this but....
2 weeks no single SD card worked on my Palm.
every time phone notice me by some beep or sound but it simply does not recognize SD card.
I was planing to sell it for "couple of $" as damaged but i said to my self
"why not use it, it has plenty of internal memory about 50 mb. only i must to say BYE to mp3 or videos"
and once again i push SD card that didnt work and suddenly STORAGE CARD appears in File Explorer. I was happy
Now i try not to do open/close so much...
Viva la buggy Palm

Storage Card not recognise and Messaging will not start

Hello,
XDA O2 Orbit2
Mobile 6
When the phone is restarted messaging will not start, auto start, or receive messages, and the 8GB storage card is seen in File Explorer as "Storage Card 2".
To get messaging to start I have to remove the storage card, then messaging will start, delete "Storage Card 1" in file explorer, and reinsert storage card.
When I reinsert the original 1GB card restart goes okay and messaging works.
When I purchased the card I am sure I checked that my phone was okay with 8GB cards.
Any suggestions please?
Cheers, Guy.
I think I have sorted it out.
I noticed that; after I had started Messaging function, with the storage card not inserted, that a folder "Inbox.mst" was created in the none existent Storage card; that appeared in file manager. So I tried delegating that Folder on the 8GB card, the folder was empty anyway. Restarted the phone with the card inserted, and hey-presto everything works.
So if anyone else gets that problem, there is the solution.
mssyncapp Activesync broken
Thanks for the tip grwsmith...
I had a similar problem as I thought I had a corrupt file somewhere. It all started with a dying battery. I thought I had encountered a bad 'write' during a battery die and got something corrupt. Could not get activesync to start and all messaging was gone. Could not get messaging to even start up.
So... I found an old spb full backup from September and started with a hard reset then restore. It did not work, still no activesync or messaging. Did not make any sense. Until I read this posting... Did another restore, then when the 8925 went to restart I pulled out the 8gb sd card. It booted up just fine and everything was good again. Inserted the sd card, deleted all inbox files from it and re-synced to Exchange. I sounds like I had a corrupt inbox file that kept breaking activesync and messaging someway.
Just my $.02 in case it may help anyone else.
Thanks again for the tip...

Strange thing with apps and SD card

Hello,
I lended mine SD card to friend. And inserted he's SD card in my phone. Now he gave me back my SD card. But all my apps are missing. Music/Video is working. But all apps are gone. No one deleted them, where did they gone ? What should i do now?
Strange thing. I inserted friends sd card, and all my apps was there and fully working. WTF ? He even did not have those apps . My apps somehow transfered to he's SD card.
What should i do now ?
if all your apps are on his sd card, plug it into ur computer, and transfer all the apps into a folder. the get your sd card and transfer all the apps onto it
cheers
I didnt moved anything from that card to friends card. How did SD card content transfer to a phone, if sd card never were inserted in that phone?
Situation:
I have my phone with inserted SD card in it. Friend asked for my sdcard(he needed more space, mine was 32gb) So i gave him. He gave me he's 4gb sd card. I inserted friends card in my phone. And all apps that was on mine sdcard appeared in phone. All apps that was on my sdcard, transfered to friends card from phone memmory ?
Now when he gave back my SDcard, i inserted it to my phone, and all apps that was on that card was gone. Apps are shown in Settings>Applications with SDcard pictogram. All aplications in list also has Size: 0.00, And when i push on any that somehow it shows "Move TO Sd card" function. But all theese apps were on sd card, watahell is going on ?
You could try to move apps to phone memory while using his SD, then move them back to your SD.
It's strange, anyway.
You did not change ROM or whatever on your phone in the meanwhile, did you?
One more thing i just noticed. I inserted friends card , all my applications that were on SDcard was displayed and working, it was like that mine card was inserted. But strange thing , i did unmount with friends card. And still all apps was fully working, they somehow transfered to phone memmory or what? I have HTC Desire, i think there's no enough space for all theese apps on phone memmory.
With friends card all apps are displayed, and in Settings>Applications when i choose application it shows "Move it TO SDcard" , so they are on phone, but with my SDCArd they are not even shown.
No i didnt change anything, except transfered few videos from to friends card via usb.
When i installing application that was already on my sdcard,(but now not showing up),
it says " This application will replace existing application" or something similar.
Inserted friends sd card all my applications were there, so i went to Settings>Applications, clicked on my one application and it shows option : "Move to SDcard" I clicked that. After that I inserted my Sdcard, and that application appeared on my phone, so it didnt moved it to friends sdcard. And when i go to Settings>Applications it shows Move To Sdcard . So it turns out, that phone didnt moved application anywhere when friends sdcard was inserted, but it made that application to appear on phone with my sdcard.
What the hell ? Its so strange and absolute nonsense.
P.S I cant do more Move To SDcard on friends sdcard, because it says No Space.
