Thought I saw every weird thing in wm6 guess not.

Hi, guys and gals, just wondering if anyone experience this with thier wm6, just the other day my MDA froze and like usually if it does I would have to take out the battery and reinstall it. But this time a very new experience came in, all the programs I installed on my SD card is missing, but I'm able to access the SD card and all the other files are there, except the files in Program folder odd eh? So I try to reinstall some of the programs to my SD card and the same thing happen, no files in the program folder after reboot? Oh yeah and also when I tried to use spb backup to restore a point didn't work too, still the programs that were install on SD card is missing so somehow the files just disappear on the SD card...on the files in the program folder. And now if I try to install on the SD card it still doesn't work.
Rom version 10.2.0.8 WWE
NBD v5.3

happened to me too.
I had this happen to me as well. I blamed it on the battery. I let it drain down to 2 or 3 % which I had never done. I was using one of the MUN variations, not sure which I must admit as I have been flashing almost daily. Besides the missing programs and inability to install either on the sd, or main mem , I was having my first instability issues. It was freezing, restarting by itself and not responding to controls. I flashed with the new crossbow 1.7 and reformatted the card. No problems in 2 days of use.

i've heard problems like this back when people were using wm5. sounds like something got corrupted on your card. actually...something like this happened to me once too...i think i just re-formated the card and re-installed the apps and it worked out afterwards. or if you're lucky the quick and easy...take the memory card out...and then plug it back in after a few seconds...and see if the card functions properly afterwards...sounds simplistic...but for some reason every now and then some cards use to get corrupted...

Help needed with SD card

I am running the original ROM my Trinity came with.
WM5
ROM Version - 1.23.405.2
Radio Version - 1.38.00.11
I have no reason to change or update the ROM (partly as i don't understand how to), everything runs really well with it. My GPS, WiFi etc all work a treat. Recently I bought a 4GB Transcend Mini SDHC card as my 2GB is nearly full.
When I loaded everything onto it, it worked no problem. My Trinity recognised it and everything worked. However, when I switched my Trinity off and later put it on many of my programs wouldn't run. I used File explorer on the PDA and some of the files had disappeared. A soft reset brought them all back (which is wierd) but these problems persisted. But a soft reset would make it all work again. A couple of times everything did disappear except 1 folder (my inbox attachments), and a soft reset did not help. When I put the card into my PC (running XP) this one folder was the only thing on the card. Yet all the memory was still used up. I reformatted the card (FAT32 was the only option) and loaded everything back onto the card and into my Trinity and things worked again, but the same problems keep happening.
From doing a search here I see some people have produced Cab files which sort change the settings for SDHC cards, but these seem to be mainly for WM6 ROM's. I can see the card and it works so is there a Cab file I should install to make it work well? Is it the card? (I suspect not as it always reformates and works initially)
Will I need to upgrade to WM6? If so which ROM? Are there instructions how to do this?
Are these problems still there with WM6?
If anyone can help that would be great.
I would prefer to be able to keep WM5 and find a solution so if you have one please share it.
Thanks

Same here...
Hi, I am in the same position exactly. I would prefer to stay with my original WM5 installation as I don't want to risk upgrading the ROM. However, I would love to be able to use SDHC cards of at least 4Gb without the normal problems.
Ideally I would like to get a 6Gb card - am I living in a dream world or is this possible with my Orange SPV-M700 running WM5. If anyone has had any luck with this I'd be really grateful to know how to solve the SDHC card reliability problem.
Thanks!

look at this

Ok - so I bought a Topram 4gb card from ebay, and it works so far. All my files are there and continue to be there. Only once over a 3 day period have I switched my Trinity on to find files not there. A quick reboot and everything works.
This card is not a SDHC card!

6 Gig works too (WM6)
Upgrading to WM6 isn't that hard. If you don't feel comfortable doing it then don't. You will just have to live with a smaller memory card capacity.
At the moment I'm using a wm6 rom with a micro 6 gig sdhc card with a mini converter. so I can use this 6 gig card in my next phone .... (Forward thinking

SD Card problems

I have this strange problem.
today suddenly my sd card stoped working. so the first thing i suspected was that my sd card was broke but it turned out that my sd card was working fine but my himalaya doesnt show show the contents of the sd card.
if i check on my hima i see that the expansion slot is in use. so it knows that the sd card is inserted.
if i put in my sd card or pull it out the screen lights up again so that meens that the contacts are still intact.
i tested my card in my cardreader no problems. i tried another card still the same issue. i formatted the card didnt help either.
i already flashed a new rom. i cleaned all the contacts just in case that was the problem.
i checked all of the topics on this forum about this problem but it turned out that all of there sd cards where broke and that is not the issue here.
so i hope some one else can help me because i am desperate at the moment.

This may sound stupid but, do you use "WM5 Storage" ? Maybe you forgot to disable it after using it ? I have already been in this case, and this would be the reason why you can't read your card.
Even if you flash a new rom, if you forget to do it the right way (cleaning the registry hive and formating integrated storage), settings may still be there, and that would be why it does not solve your problem.
Try loading the "WM5 Storage" program and check if it is activated. If so, just disable it
I hope this helps...

i think that i have the same problem, cause im using kingston 2 gig sd card.. i have formated the disk drive. and the problem is my hima doesnt detect it after 5 minutes i play something in the sd card... its my 3 sd card ive change, i thought the card is faulty but when reading with card reader it has no problem at all.. im confused... btw im using wm6.1 from syed ather...
any solution someone??

There are many reasons.
What I have observed, sometimes, it's because of the battery. There are some memory problems when you buy a new battery, actually, the warning is written on the battery pack.
So, before you buy, try to explore your folders if the storage card is visible. If not, ask for another stock of battery.
Sometimes, the battery is low and maybe the system blocks the usage of the sd card.
Sometimes, you got to check your folders via active, maybe there is such a file with a filename/s "ignore". I just forgot the whole filename but it definitely is read like that in a way. Delete it/them.
Or sometimes you need to softreset or clean your card slot or reformat the card. I just don't have any idea how you can clean them.
With regards to wm5torage, it has options, when checked hides the storage folder icon, and even sometimes erase all your storage card files. So be careful of using the options.

I use a 4G card on Atom Life, running WM 6.1. It will cause the system slowing down a lot after soft reset. Try to open \start menu\program\games (I have some games installed on card), it takes several minutes to load the menu. However, once complete, it will run very fast next time. It is ok when using a 1G or 2G card anyway.
I wonder if someone has a solution for it?

Kaiser performance: Slowing down few days after flashing

Hello,
Almost a year ago I purchased my Kaiser (an Orange Kaiser) ans started to flash my phone.
I have already used several ROM avaiable here: Dutty (sevearl versions), L26 (SEVERAL Versions), Hyperdragon, Mobile vista, etc, etc, etc. Have already tryed several versions of the Radio firmwares. 1.24, 1.57. etc. Also, have already tried almost EVERY Hard SPL avaiable and so far I had the same problem:
Few days after flashing the Kaiser starts do slow down its performence. For ex: I press the Call button and it takes 40 to 50 seconds to enter in the touchpad screen. Sometimes it don't even enter the the call screen.
It get worst: sometimes I get no signam from the phone even if i'm side by side to a antena (where any other phone have a strong signal).
The only solution: HARD RESET. I mean, after a hard reset it looks like its other phone. Strong signal, fast response.
I can't possible imagine that I'm the only one here with this kind of problem. Does anyone knows how to solve? Does anyone here knows ehy it happens?
PS: I have already tried configurations with diferent programs. I have already tried with and without S2L2, With or without HTC Home (most without), With and without pocket launcher, with and without today agenda and SPB calendar. Can only think that this is problem with something in the ROM or the radio since every single configuration had the same performance issues.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks

I had a faulty SD card that was giving me similar problems to this. I think it was due to Coreplayer and Audio Manager scanning the faulty SD card for music and the read speed was really really slow on the card. Everything would grind to a halt. I bought a new card and everything was fine after that. You could also try formatting or removing the SD card to eliminate the card being the source of the issue.... but you'll probably turn around a say you don't have an SD card
Good luck...

Yeah recently I got this issue. The filesystem on my SD card for corrupt somehow, and I was unable to access anything on it via activesync (my pc) and my phone.
So I just installed some prob( i forget the name) and formatted the SD card, then re-flashed. And since then it's been quick as can be

Hey guys,
I've been having this issue as well. I have not found it to be my storage card as i have tried 4 different cards. i have put the cards on my BJII and it works without issues. I also have found that with some of my early L26 Flashes i would just ride it out and it would work again.
However i have not had my HDIII Pro for that long but i'm hoping that it would would do the same.
If someone does find a link to what is really going on i would greatly appreciate the advice.
Thanks

Also, I actually believe if you text message a lot (i mean basically excessivly) as my brother does, the device will slow down.
He has my older Hermes, and he has unlimited texting, but within 2 weeks he would have sent 1500-2000 text messages and recieved about the same ammount.
By that time his phone would start lagging and being a pain, so I would usually just do a new flash (or hard reset), since deleting that many texts normally would probably take 48 hours haha.
Anyway when it gets re-flashed everything runs normal and fine. But whenever the phone gets cleared everything is smooth again
So maybe it's the amount of text/emails you have? Idk

Going to test the SD card. I have a 4Gb SD card but I'm actually only using 1,4 Gb, so I can use a 2Gb with no problem.
This going to take a while since the phone starts to slow down after three or four days, but I'll let you guys know if it solved.
Thanks!!!!

If you have a vista based machine, It will correct the filesystem errors automatically, and you wont have to reformat...
Works great for me, My desktop is VU64, and my lappy is MCE2005. All the flashing happens on the laptop, and transferring files to the SD (Music & Movies) via WMP happens on the desktop.

Idem
I have same problem.
I try to found confirmation in italian dedicated forum , nobody has had the same problem.
After any minutes where the kaiser freeze , i do not have the same problem.
As is autoconfigured.
Now i used selfmade rom (by official italian rom, and hardSPL 3.29).
Sorry for my bad english

6.1 ROMs have SD Issues - anyone find a fix?

All of them that I've tried, thus far.
You MAY NOT see this, by the way, depending on your access pattern, but it is DEFINITELY HAPPENING.
The problem is that its really, really ugly - your card's data is slowly being DESTROYED.
When it hits the "wrong" file, you will find out - the hard way.
This is NOT a "cooked ROM" problem - AT&T's base 6.1 load does the same thing (!)
The EASIEST way to find it is to use Advanced Config to move the IE cache to the card, then play a while. Suddenly the device will lock. You soft reset, and all "appears" well. Its not.
How do I know its damaging data? Because it has scrambled my TomTom map files "just enough" that TomTom comes up "No Maps" (!) - but the file names ARE THERE. The signatures are destroyed - it only takes ONE BYTE of change in the wrong place to do it.
Now what the ##$)! is PIE doing writing in that directory? Its not - on purpose.
The RSS reader will reliably do this too.
If you point them at main memory, no problems. Its SPECIFIC to the SD handler.
Its also SPECIFIC to 6.1 ROMs. 6.0 does NOT exhibit the problem, yet EVERY 6.1 load I've tried can be provoked into doing this.
The only fix is DON'T WRITE TO THE SD CARD via programs. Well.... that's not the WORST thing in the world on a Kaiser as it has a lot of internal memory, but....
Anyone know what the #@#$ is going on here - or have a fix for it?
PS: If you think you're not running into this, don't say I didn't warn you when you find one of your files destroyed without warning. I have run byte-wise compares of SD images and the corruption appears to be almost completely random. And yes, its across both SDHC and non-HC cards (2GB) - both are hit by it, and I've got three, all from different manufacturers. This is VERY reproducable and its not hardware either since 6.0 does NOT exhibit the problem.

Quite interesting... which rom build are you using ?

Have tried several - the most recent being the Hyperdragon 11/15 build.
The stock AT&T 6.1 build did the same thing as soon as I switched PIE's storage to the card. Its not instantaneous but if you browse for a significant length of time it WILL do it.
Flashed to 3.29 HardSPL to be able to load the various cooked ones here, all that I've tried so far do the same thing. Flash back to 6.0 AT&T, no problems.
VERY consistent.
I just put 3.28 HardSPL on to see if that changes anything. Can't imagine why it would, but....
Its pretty subtle if you don't browse heavily - if you get a "lockup" with PIE while its set to write to the card YOU ARE SCREWED. You may not know WHICH file got smashed but I guarantee one did. If it smashes the MFT then the fun really begins (the entire card's contents are gone), but I would prefer that to a RANDOM file getting destroyed!
I have run sector-by-sector compares and have found that where it "scribbles" when it happens appears to be completely random.
And again - 6.0 does NOT do it, and if you only READ from the card, its fine.
I suspect that its a "per-event" risk and so anything that runs from the card and writes data back there EVENTUALLY will screw you - its just a matter of time.

thats why it is strongly recommended NOT TO store ie cache to storage card. Keep it on device memory. There is no fix for this problem yet except keeping ie cache on device.

Sounds pretty easy to bypass the problem, eh? Don't store stuff to the card. No big deal. I mean, c'mon, it's not like we're going to run out of memory storing the IE cache on the device.
Beside that, it must only be IE as I've always used the card to store my email and attachments and have never had a problem. However, I am using a 16GB card...perhaps that makes a difference. I've been running various 6.1 ROMs (including some questionable betas) for almost a year now and have experienced ZERO corruption. Also, if it makes a difference, I perform so much data transfer with my card on a weekly basis. Pretty much filling and emptying about every third day.

It is NOT only IE.
The RSS reader that is in there (RSSHub) that HTC stuffed in the later roms does it too.
I managed to trigger it last night with RssHub; thinking IE was the only culprit cost me (another) reload of my SD card.
Be careful - if its per-event risk then ANYTHING you store on the card (e.g. pictures, etc) could cause it, and apps like TomTom that write places you set as destinations to as a cache can cause it too - its just that being data dependant the more often you write, the higher the risk.
BTW this is a 6.1 issue that does NOT affect the Wizard - I have had a custom (I cooked it) 6.1 ROM on my Wizard for six+ months without a single screwup. But I've yet to find a 6.1 ROM for the Kaiser that DOESN'T have this problem.
BTW, is there a 6.1 ROM around WITHOUT the new PIE? God I hate the new format on that thing...

I have been beating on PIE stored on the card, plus RSS stored on the card now for over an hour - after loading HardSPL 3.28 (was running 3.29) and SO FAR I haven't had it happen.
Now this doesn't mean much, but that I got a solid couple of hours in without it blowing up - when I was pretty reliably able to do it previously - might be significant.
Or maybe not.
I'll run this way for a week or so and see if I can get it to misbehave.... I have card backups

yah i have learnt to back up my sd all the time cause im CONSTANTLY getting corruption..but corruption i can see like messed uop names and folders which ive found more consistant when i have sd power settings set to enabled in advanced config..

I have also witnessed RSSHub destroying my card several times
I remember this problem when WM5 came out on the Artemis. It was linked to the power state and the device going into sleep mode. It never occured when you used the power button, only when it went into automatic sleep. I think there are options in schaps advanced config regarding this - might be worth a try.

I mean CE build number and aku. We have now many available builds from which to choose, and we could investigate whether it's a problem related to an HTC driver alone or if there's something in the SYS services too which has to be patched. I'm not talking about workarounds at all.

20931.1.5.0 (assuming the SYS and XIP were ported)
I don't have the numbers from the AT&T load handy.
Downgrading the SPL MAY have fixed it. I haven't had a lock/trash since last night when I changed the SPL. Hmmmm..... that "hotfix" may have been a "hotf$ck" instead.
Will update as/when I learn more.

This is NOT WM6.1 problem, if anything - it is WinMo's problem in general (all versions).
I have witnessed exactly same problem on WM 2003, WM2003SE, WM5, WM6 and WM6.1 - and I bet its the same on WM2002 and WM2000 (I just never had any of those ancient devices).
Solution is very simple:
DO NOT move IE cache to SD card, that's all.
Unless you have to (i.e. my iPAQ 6515 have literally no space left on Main Storage and I have to use SD for IE cache etc) then simply make at least weekly backups of your SD on your PC, its not a big deal, but it is annoying like hell (specially when it happens "on the road").

I have same problem several times!
Most offen it's happend in A***OS Smart Rom (don't remember full name), then i flash into wm6.1 off and it happends only one time. I use StorageTools to ix My Card after that (not data, only card)...
Is this heal????

Just use Opera browser. I dont have that problem in my tilt, although i did had problem with hermes, and scan and fix errors for the card made it go away. And i also a 2GB card, maybe it is an issue with higher storage capacity cards.

hi there, i have similar problem with my vario 3, i have installed all my application on sd card including tomtom. I have about 500 mp3 and pictures. i can listen to music all day at work but when turn my tomtom on, it says no maps found and then everything disappears on the sd card. it still shows in memory status that i have used 70% of my sd card but it doesn't show anything in win explorer.
i think it might have caused by installing tomtom on sd card.
can anyone help please?

To recover that files you can use de windows tool error checking that will recover your files but to the found.000 folder (hidden), but the files are useless because is will be on the wrong extension and name
you have now 2 solutions:
1 - is guest the extension of that files and rename it
or
2- use the program named "getbackdata for fat" and it will correct the name and the file extension but not the correct name of the folder where it was. but better than nothing.
hope i could help

I saw this many times with RSSHUB - finally moved to main mem and have not seen it since. I also don't use PIE. It will be interesting to see if its 3.59 causing the issue, please keep us posted. I went a bought a new card thinking that it was a bad card:

If you're running 3.29 get it off your device - in fact, there should be a WARNING on the page for the various HardSPL versions. This may be device version specific (are there multiple hardware versions of the Kaiser as there are with the MDA?) but on MINE, 3.29 does this repeatedly.
I have now been running 3.28 for a week with ALL power management enabled, RSSHub and PIE caching to the storage card, and all my user-loaded apps running from the storage card, and I have been intentionally pounding the everloving hell out of it to try to get it to misbehave.
ZERO ISSUES.
The ONLY thing I changed was the SPL. I didn't even reflash the ROM (just the SPL) when I changed it - just used Jump to get back into the "superCID" mode and flashed 3.29 down to 3.28.
If you're running something other than 3.28, try 3.28.
So far, one week in, it has completely fixed this problem on my Kaiser.

Does this happen with both cmonex’s & jockeyw2001’s HardSPL 3.29?

It happens with the ORIGINAL REAL 3.29 SPL that AT&T is shipping with their STOCK 6.1 ROMs!
That's not one of the hacked ones - that's OEM. I was able to REPEATEDLY lock the device and scramble the card by sticking PIE's cache on the card with the stock AT&T ROM.
I'm near 100% convinced its the 3.29 SPL that is FUBAR'd and not the hacking on it. I don't know why it should matter (its just a boot loader) but perhaps its doing something funky with the SD interface and whatever it does survives ROM initialization during the boot process.
In any event with 3.28 on my Kaiser I have had ZERO ISSUES with SD corruption or freezes of any kind, going on a week now. I've had no reason to reset it - at all - during that time.
I won't call this "conclusive" for another week or two, but given that with my usual usage I wouldn't survive ONE HOUR on 3.29, well, you tell me.
