URGENT HELP: XDA II and 1GB SD card problem

Dear All,
I recently bought a Sandisc 1GB SD Card for the XDA II (Himalaya) and ever since then, (in a span of about 2 weeks); my phone had to be hard reset 6 times! Is there anyway to prevent this or any solution to this problem? I have been using a 128MB card for nearly 1.7 years in the XDA and never had even one hard reset but suddenly after changing cards, I have had this problem. Would greatly appreciate any solution/idea/suggestion. Thank you.
Cheers, Vikas.

mate, xdaII can only accomodate 512 MB of storage card. thats all i know.

I don't think it's really accurate what ur saying,I have a 1GB in my Himalaya MDAII for about 3 months now....and it's running more than perfect... :wink:
@vikasmal:I donno if the SD is the what's causing u those hard resets...but anyway,have u tried formatting it FAT not FAT32?
Try then let me know.....
RAGO :lol:

not very helpful, but i have been using a PNY 1GB SD card in my xda2 for over 6 months without a hitch, the only thing that has caused mine to require a hard reset is some programs, trick is to install a new program then see how it runs for a few days before installing any others.
might be worth trying a different make of SD card if you know anyone that is willing to lend you one. a few mates have used cheaper ones that have caused quite a few problems, not sure what though.

Hi, thanks for your reply Formatting this in FAT, how should I do that? With my XDAII on the USB cradle or with a card reader?
Sorry for the silly question but am a little lost on this.
Thanks.
Vikas.

Thanks but the 1GB seems to work fine for a few days and then hard reset. Then ok for a few days and again hard reset.

Thanks Macca,
Maybe its the brand but thought Sandisk was a good one :-(
Haven't installed any new programmes other than the ones I was already using on my 128MB card. So that is why am quite puzzled.
Cheers, Vikas.

Hi,
I've been using a 1gig Sandisk Card for about 6 months & have never had to do a hard reset (unless taking the battery out too swap sims).
I didn't have to format it or anything, just got it out of the packet & put it in.
not much use to your problem but it may rule out the card??

Thanks Floody,
Appreciate it. Have done a format in FAT and NOT FAT32 for the Sandisk card and for the last three days, no hard reset. Hope it works this time around. Knock Wood
Cheers, Vikas.

Yes, I have the stock SD card aswell..,it is only rated a poor class 2, so games saved on SD card (I.e - gangstar) tend to lag. Also my 720p videos lag when recording. Could this be the problem? Any advice from anyone?

i also have the stock class 2 samsung card (write speed=5) works pretty good with 3D games and apps. video bitrate is much lower than writing speed, so try to kill running applications, clearing cache, or a custom rom. i also had some lagging when i was recording 720 in the first seconds but now it's fixed

thanks for the info mate!

tnx use usefull for info

I happend to meet this situation when I format my card on the computer.
But it turned to be normal when I do nothing.

Can we use 32gb sd card on our Sensation XE?

Hi guys, as the title says can we use 32gb sd card on our Sensation xe? Not that I don't do my homework, its just that I wanted some feedback on the users that actually tried that. I read it work, and it doesn't. Just a little confuse. Thanks guys!

Yeah I have 32GB SanDisk and it works fine.

Hey k0zmic thank you for a very fast reply. will be buying one asap. thanks man!

If you did your "homework" what made you think you couldn't?

You can even use that 64 GB SDHX (or whatever it is called) from San Disk.
It's quite expensive, but is said to work just fine.

Was it hard to say a yes or a no too?

Yes
quite simply put, it can be used, but I've noticed my XE has become slower at reading photos/pictures from it, not sure if the RAM can handle it comfortably

I'm thinking about that too, speed surely matters.

In settings, look under storage settings, maybe something like default app install location. Also i would recommend you don't buy anything bigger than 16gb for sdcard. also buy class 10. Bro i have one more question.... how much is the total RAM the phone is showing? and how much free ram are we getting?

Interesting... have you same SD card as me? If yes, can you test it with A1 SD Bench and tell if it improves the speed?

Same card here and same read and write speeds. Tested it in my computer and it is getting full speed like it should so its not the cards fault.
