Hello all,
I've written a watchdog that allows to catch a moment when the storage card is corrupted and softreset before the driver flushes FAT and root folder.
More details are here:
http://www.nixie.narod.ru/sdsentry/index-en.htm
I hope this will help you.
Any feedback is welcome.
I'm online with MSN [email protected] (also it is my email)
BTW, it doesn't matter what brand and size of the storage card is.
I have Kingston 1GB, and _it happens.
Thankyou for your work, Nikolay. It is apreciated.
I have had the software installed for a couple of days, and all is well.
Same here Nickolay, I have already posted a reply to your post at Spb Club forum.
I have your piece of code installed for few days and haven't seen the red icon, yet. Hope never will. Tnx .... as your code can save some nerves
I have tried your program but it keeps throwing up a corruption warning saying that there is an empty directory - Program Files on the storage card (which there is - I guess it is empty because I have no apps installed on the card)
Any suggestions?

Create a file in that folder...
Does anyone know the workaround with the WM5torage program?.....everytime i launch this app the SD-Sentry red icon appears saying that there is a corruption but when i check the storage card its fine.......thanks in advance
WM5torage disables the storage card for the orbit as long as it is active. During that time it is only accessible by the PC. Other programs like Tomtom do not work, because they can't find their data on the card. So does SDsentry.
Dear programmer,
your program seems to be a fine PlugIn for the XDA-Error with destroyed directorys oon the SD-Card.
Unfortunately your program is working in english devices only as it seems.
In german devices where the storage card is named "Speicherkarte" from the german WM5 your program will creating a new folder named "storage card" where it puts its check-files SdSentry.txt into each existing directory. No SdSentry.txt-file in any Dirs on the storage card.
In the dialogwindow of SdSentry the storage card is names "Speicherkarte".
The real storage card is not recogniced and protected in this way, as I assume.
Or did I something wrong?
Will you program a german version of SdSentry too?
I would be very glad about.
because of the described problem, I wrote a mail to the programer of SdSentry.
A solution was coming back immediately, how to install SdSentry im devices with other WM5-languages than english.
The program has a little bug to find the real storage card and creates instead a directory named "storage card" in the root of the device, that contains two directorys named "My Documents" and "Programme". In each of this three folders SdSentry creates a txt-file "SdSentry.txt" for verifiing the directury-structure for accessibility later.
For getting SdSentry working on german devices (analog other languages), copy following files:
\\storage card\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte(or however the name of your real storage card is)\SdSentry.txt
\\storage card\My Documents\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte\My Documents\SdSentry.txt
\\storage card\Programme\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte\Programme\SdSentry.txt
After copying the three files, you can delete the folder \\storage card with its subdirs "My Documents" and "Programme"
Since I've did this modifications, SdSentry seems to work well on my german-XDA Orbit.
Hoping it avoids more crashs of my SD-Card.
What a fun sitting in the car and loosing Navi, adresses and all tasks for today out of the HTC. May driving back to office and reinstalling the device.
I won't count how much time cause of this this worthless phone I had loosen last weeks.
I think it as something to do with the new OS version (5.2.1921 Build 18521.0.7.0), because in all latest ROM's with this OS I don't have anymore
the My Documents folder in the PC side, I still synchronize everything inside it but I do not know where it's stored.
For example I have notes in the PC but I cannot find them anywhere, but when I flash with different ROM they appear in the Trinity, so they must be stored somewhere.
Can someone give me any thoughts abut this??
Thx

Hey All,
This is my first post but joined long ago, Great forum by the way
Please tell me if this post is in wrong section...
I have a Jasjam running:
WM6 Professional
ROM Version 3.62.305.5
ROM Date 11/06/07
Radio Version 1.54.30.10
Protocol Version 32.87.1020.20H
ExtROM Version 3.62.305.116
I'm having the following problems over the last few days, Was fine previously...
1. Phone is running slow,
2. Can't always send sms messages and "locks up" in message function, I have to stop this via settings to egt out of sms area......
3.Storage Memory is full - even after deleting text messages and uninstalling some software. Space frees up once this is done and then seems to somehow get full again without explaination...
I have even moved everything I can from phone to storage card and memory increased, then I get same error message again and somehow memory is full again...
Keep getting this meesage "Storage memory is critically low. If storage memory is not increased, other programs may not be able to start. Use file explorer to delete files that are no longer needed or move some files to a storage card"
Please help, Is my phone stuffed?
Thanks in advance.....

try to flash a new rom?
I really didn't want to do anything except correct fault, as it just suddenly started having this error. I will only reflashing if I can't resolve it any other way. Thanks
try searching for sktools, I am not going to post it here unless it is necessary it is floating everywhere here.
try this
try oxios memory
If you are installing it in the phone memory then try to unload few programs that you use less. Install them on storage memory card, do you know that SD card thing. Increase your SD card memory to 2 GB if it support or try 1 GB as I am using it and don't need more of it. Also try to transfer your pictures and movies to the storage card.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Use ActiveSync Explorer to do the job or use any file explorer other than the windows own. GS Finder is the one I like but there are other available on net.
Not posting here coz it will make people lazy. Try to use search and get use to it.
Low mem
hi, as a ex hermes user I too faced this problem many times.
My issue was too many emails and attachments.
I had outlook on my pc synced for all messages from last 30 days (usb), plus 2 other email accounts with about 5000 messages done via 3g when out and about it killed my mem free untill I eased back on the qty I needed.
Hope helps

I know the answer to this!!! You have to delete temporary internet files although you might have figured it out by now
I actually just re-installed WM6 and the problem is now resolved.

In other words, you just wiped everything out of the phones memory.... As was suggested by just about every other post after beastfellows post...
Make sure you save attachements for sms/mms/email, save as many apps to the memory card and put all pictures and music on the memory card or you will be back to the same point pretty quick...
Cheers...
hey guys
I had a bunch of pics that I received via MMS and I needed to use, so I just long click on it and selected to save do sd card. But when I connect the phone to the pc on mass storage mode, I can't find them anywhere.
So I installed the app SaveMMS and saved all the pics to a folder with the same name. Still nothing showed up when I connect the phone to my PC.
Using ASTRO, I can see all the pictures on the download folder and I can also access the SaveMMS folder (and actually some other folders that I cant see from my PC).
I tried to copy to somewhere else and even that didnt work.
I ended up emailing myself the pics...
Any idea on whats happening?
I got root and im using opendesire with a partitioned sd card (and no, there's no pictures on the ext partition).
many thanks
Does any file names or folders on your phone look like, for example, this ".hello"
If so, get rid of the full stop at the start of the name via Astro, as it will not show up on your computer
Thread moved to Q&A.
delete my post
thanks for the reply
the first thing I checked was for hidden folders, and it wasnt that.
the folders ended up showing up on the desktop as well, out of nowhere.
but it just seemed some random, dont know what was the issue.
This is usually because you are using a2sd which makes the SD card do strange things. Changes are only actually saved to the card for the computer to see when restarting the phone
The problem is well documented, and a fix have been made which should fix it
Well, its really weird.
But better weird with A2SD than normal without it ;p
Hi guys,
I really need your help on this one.
I have searched the forums and the web for a full day now and it seems that I am not alone with my problem here:
Last night I used Solid Explorer to create a subfolder with pictures within the Camera folder. I then tried to move that folder somewhere else on the "SD Card".
But when the process was finished, the subfolder was empty and all the pictures were gone. I could still see the thumbnails in the Camera folder, but when I tried to open one of them, they also all just disappeared!
Now I have read several threads here on xda about the problems of file recovery on a MTP device... Seems like normal file recovery programs will not be of any help in this case.
However I was hoping, that by now someone came up with a solution to this problem, since it affects all users of the GNex.
Some more infos on my side:
The phone runs 4.0.4, is not rooted and not unlocked - everything is stock.
Data back up via Google Plus and Dropbox was not possible, since I am on holidays in Asia with no data plan or WiFi available.
I have switched the phone to flight mode and (hopefully) not written any new data on the storage.
So my questions would be the following:
1) Has anybody yet found a way to asign a physical drive letter to the GNex, making it possible to be recognized by regular file recovery software?
Or is anybody currrently looking into that matter, trying to find a solution?
2) In case that I will not be able to recover the pictures myself through some pc software off the net, will I be able to let some professional have my files restored for me? If I understand correctly, all it takes is a software, that is able to recognize a ext3 or ext4 storage system???
I would really appreciate any help on this matter, because these pictures mean a lot to me and I really hope that I will be able to get them back somehow.
Thanks in advance,
Patrick.
Edit: Argh! First post and I got it wrong already! Sorry, I meant to post this in the Q/A section but ended up posting it in General :-/
I had to format my sd card losing 13GB of information yesterday. This was also due to stupid mtp. Sorry i doubt you can recover.
Sorry to hear that! Until now I could never understand the objections many people seemed to have concerning MTP, as it handled pretty much the same as an USB device when using a Windows PC. But now that I gained some insight in the matter, it's probably the ONE thing I don't like about this phone.
It just sucks to find that out the hard way...
But maybe somebody else still has an idea and can point me in the right direction?
I've had the same problem, and I'm blaming MTP as well. I finally gave up, formatted my drive and replaced MTP with cloud services or transferring files via adb.
