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...
there are four problems in my HD7:
1. After I setup Zune, and connect my HD7 to MY PC,but my PC still cannot find the device.
2. In "About", the total storage shows 15.73MB. and 10.12MB can be used.
3.every time I run application in HD7, it always indicates storage limit.
4.After I hard reset my HD7, the screen stays in the flahing and in the middle shows HTC. It has lasted several hours.
who can help me?!!! Save my HD7, save the World. SORRY for my poor English.
I think you have a broken device. You will need to contact your carrier/htc if a hard reset doesn't fix it. Yoy might have a bad internal sd card.
I bought my HD7 from another countries，so that's a big problem. Should I replace my SDcard by myself. IS the 32GB class2 Sandisk the best choice?

i also bought my hd7 from ebay and i also encountered a problem with it.what i did is i had it repaired by an htc service center here from where i am at.
did you receive it that way? why not report it to your seller. if you bought the device in ebay, chances are you can make disputes. seller might provide you a solution. if there is an htc service center near you, try visiting them im sure theyll be able to help you out.
You definitely have a broken device, get hold of the seller and get your money back
I picked up a DVP for practically nothing on ebay to replace my aging Samsung Focus. I have a 32GB microsd in my Focus, and I have a couple questions.
1. If I simply yank the microsd and reformat the Focus will it be usable? I don't want to brick the thing. Is there an order to removing a microsd?
2. If I put the microsd from the Focus in the DVP, will I face any problems? Will it be formatted properly or should I just buy a new microsd?
Removing the microSD (while the phone is off, please!) will make it unusable until you hard-reset the phone. If you were going to shelve or sell the Focus anyhow, I imagine a hard-reset won't be a problem for you. There's a hardware button combo you can press to hard-reset (same as you did when you installed the card, most likely).
You'll have to hard-reset the DVP almost certainly, but it *should* be able to work with the card out of the Focus. You'll lose all the data that was on it, though. The way WP7 works, the data from a phone's microSD is not really recoverable with consumer-grade tools.
Hello,
I have a broken usb and also the touch is broken....
So I can't get the photos via usb connection on the phone and can't upload photos to skydrive ...
Is there a way to get the micro sd card into the pc and get the photo out of it?
Insert to another phone with microSD or buy a Adapter "microSD to SD".
So with the adapter windows can read the sd?
Going to try it out
Of course!
Sometimes you will need install drivers, but it's no problem.
Thought that locking sd thing didn't let you use the sd after...

Warning!
You can't just remove the SD card from your device...If you do, It will be unrecognizable to other devices and PC's, you run the risk of never recovering any of the data on it.
WP7 devices security encrypts the SD card and it has to be unlocked before removing it from the device.
If you do remove the SD card make sure not to turn on your device while the SD card is out of it, otherwise your device won't recognize the SD card anymore either
If your device is Pre-Mango (which I highly doubt) some devices like a Symbian can detect it. If your on Mango/Tango there is no way anything will detect it unless you unlocking the SD card first.
Trust me I found out the hard way when I upgraded mine from 16gb to a 32gb SD card. No device will detect, format or recover any information from it and I've tried several PC's, cameras, phones, Symbian, software programs and even printer stations.
To unlock it you need to install XMod storage unlock cab. With your USB port not working I'm not sure how you'll be able to do it.

Well windows7 doesn't recognize my sd card...
also I can't do anything since the usb on my phone is broken
if you are lucky you enabled wifi sync in zune , if so you can sync with that
if not then you will never get to your data
The touch on the phone stopped working...
Seems it's a go to the trash bin phone...
So it's impossible to recover the data, when u have no phone to do it?
Is there any original wp7 phone with sd card?
That may be used to do it?

no because the sd card is locked to your phone and only your phone.
sorry but I think you will never see your data on your sd card again.
Damn...
This is so so so anoying....
[end of rant]
Sorry for my recent posts.
Why you don't repair phone? Maybe only need to change Touchscreen, also fix charging circuit?
Well, because is super expensive...
Around 100-170€ the fixing it
and I don't know if htc will flash the phone...
Or only saving all data from phone. I think you need only photos/videos? As I know, htc services only change parts or mainboards, they are not fix charging circuit or etc, when phone was broken. If give phone to htc or etc service without warranty, you can say, than they do not flash the phone.
I think, you can give the phone to other service and repair only USB.

HTC will never agree not to wipe the phone, in fact its doubtful anyone will, things happen, sometimes bad things happen, they promise not to delete stuff and something goes wrong, the next thing they have is a law suite
if your replacing the screen try do it yourself, id strongly suggest you replace both the LCD and the digitiser in one go, usually you can buy them combined which is a lot easier to install, replacing the USB socket is a bit harder but equally possible.
you might find a local tech that will can "try" to fix it all without losing everything, but they will never promise to do it.
Hello,
I've been lookng at lcd + touchscreen...
And I got a question, the ones I see on ebay (for example) say its for HTC HD2 T8585
I think my htc hd2 is the europe version, is there any problem with buying a lcd for t8585?
Man I've been having problems since day one. I've had it for a couple of days now and I'm so frustrated that I'm thinking of going back to my LGV10 and returning it back. At first I was super excited to open up the package but then......
1st problem...
Wasn't able to install the SD card and sim card. I kept on trying to install it but it would jump out of its slot and fall off. With the weight of the phone I had to also not just try to insert the cards but try to not drop the phone while juggling to balance it.
2nd problem.....
SD card doesn't read...
I have a 200gb SD I had on my V10 so I thought I could just pop it in and enjoy me some movies on this big screen and enjoy some music but Nope, it doesn't seem to want to read it and making me reformat it. I don't think so.
I installed a new one. Had to format it and thought I could transfer files to it and..
3rd problem.....
No OTG..... I didn't know that I tried to manually install some files and no luck.
Oh yeah I dropped it already also but good thing it was on the carpet.
I really really like the phone so I there's anything anyone can help me with I would be much appreciated .
Thanks and sorry I had to vent..
This phone could be great, but it really needs some dev love. If it could be unlocked and rooted I really think a custom rom could make this phone really shine. Maybe in the near future. For now I went ahead and ordered the Zenfone 3 Ultra. Going to spend the next week comparing the two. If I can get over the lack of LTE and the Zenfone has better user experience I will probably return the Lenovo.

I had a 7" display phablet. It had simcard instructions printed on the back shipping plastic. I kept the plastic on because it was a very handy reminder and was hidden by the case anyway. The way I did the simcard in Slot 1 and the sdcard in Slot 2 was to keep the phone flat on its face on a table. Open the slots one at a time... Install the cards... The table made it so easy!!! My simcard had to go into a plastic adapter to make it the right size and it was a real juggling act before I tried this - it also aids in not losing the teenie cards. They land right on the table. Now, it's possible that you have to put the phone on its back on the table... It just depends on the orientation of the card in the tray and the tray in the slot!!! Don't let that be the reason why you return the phone! Try it!!!
Another thing, I am not a techie but a few people here have mentioned that our old sdcard format doesn't work in this phone. They have (usually) purchased a new card (which I'm going to do once I get lucky enough to get this phone in my hands!) and reformatted it to work in this phone and then transferred the data from the old card onto the new one... I am not a techie so I am still going to research this different format... I still have some questions about whether my pc card reader reads that format or do I need to get a reader? Are a lot of newly released phones changing the sdcard format? Why would they request the new format? But I am not letting that stop me... I really want this phone. In my area the Chinese phones don't give good MMS text performance or I would be doing an ASUS Zenphone 3 Ultra!!!

Yeah I figured out the card inserts & I also installed a brand new SD card. I format it to how it was suppose to be and I installed one song. Took me forever just for that one song. I just hope to figure it out before it's to late to return. Just want to be happy with it if you know what I mean lol.. Thank you
