I did a Back-up on the SD. Then I did a Hard reset, to check that every thing is gone and returnet to original. Then a Restore from SD, and every thing returned to my modifications. This is a Windows Mobile Qtek 2020/TSM500. Well, sorry about all this, but is necessary to explain what I am trying, and is that; to know, if some one knows, how to do a script to call the RESTORE program (and that he calls the file on the SD), the use is to auto recover every thing in one old PDA when the battery goes off completally.
I use it, in my car (and since I use it eventually, the battery goes exausthed, and that loose all the loaded programs).
I look to do automatically what I am doind maually, by puting the script on the Extended rom.
Any Ideas... 8) :shock:

Hi
In the last week or so my SD card has suddenly started disappearing until I soft reset the device. If I remove and reinsert a different card this also does not appear. The only way I have found to resolve the problem is to do a soft reset. It will then be visible for a day until it disappears again.
I haven't been able to narrow it down to a specific application or action.
Has anybody else seen this (or even better know what the problem may be?)
I have had the same problem i found it to be "Spb ToPlay" everytime i used it if i stopped it playing i lost all sound on my XdaIIs and the SD card went missing. removed the plug-in and havent had the problem since...........................do you have this plug-in? if you dont then i have no idea sorry i couldnt help.
I have recently installed spb time but it doesn't conincide with my problems starting. I may try disabling it to see if that makes a difference.
this has happened to me before, but i didnt have anything like you mentioned installed, so it must be a bug or something!!!
I found on my M1000 that the card will not be visible when the battery gets low, most times it gives a message like "the power is too low to support the device"
Happens to me with my O2 XDA IIs. When I contacted O2 about it, guess what their reply was?

"Thank you for choosing O2!
With regards to your query below, you may like to remove your storage card and monitor the device. Please note that O2 Asia has tested with different brands of 256MB SD card and works fine. However, storage card of larger size may not work properly and cause the device to hang. You may also like to test your unit with another storage card to verify. Hope the above information is useful for you. Thank you."

**To perform a full reset:
Warning: Clearing memory deletes all data and restores the Pocket PC Phone
to its default settings. Programs installed at the factory remain, while
data you have created and programs you have installed are erased.
Before performing the full reset, use ActiveSync to keep a backup of your
Pocket PC Phone data so that if you need to clear memory, you can restore
the data on your Pocket PC Phone.Do not use Xbackup on your device to do
backup for your data.
To perform a full reset on XdaIIs, press and hold the power button, and then
use stylus to press the soft reset button at the same time. After the full
reset, you will be prompt to recalibrate the touch screen.

What a load of crap!
The other day my P3300 was somewhat slow and I decided to give it a soft reboot. Ever since it keeps on rebooting. It reaches the phase where you may enter your pincode but when it wants to load the user interface it reboots again.
Sometimes I have luck and after 5 loops or so it finally gets into full WM5.
If I remove the SD card the problem dissappears. So I expect it's the card (which never corrupt(ed/s) on me).
Another option would be it has run out of main memory. I'm a little short on that one. Would it reboot if memory was too low?
I think a hard reset or format of the SD card would solve it but that is the easy way. I want to know the reason so it won't happen again.
HTC P3300 T-mobile Compact III
2GB Sandisk microSD
WM5 and updates original as a danish virgin
I installed the Artemis SD patch
I had this a few times and the only way around it was a hard reset followed by a recovery of the phone from SPB backup.
It always seemed to follow me installing software, but never the same application so I thought it had corrupted something in the startup. You can try booting without the card installed and it should be OK, then you may be able to work out what app ./ reg entry is causing it.
HTH
I rebooted without card and it worked
i put the sd card in my cardreader and defaced some .exe's in my autorun folder (the 2527 folder). Than it worked again. Until... a few days ago it started all over again.
did the same procedure but there was no .exe anymore in the autorun folder.
I dont want to do hard reset. Do you guys have any clue if i can see in the register what it tries to run?
it's defenitely one program doing this. It boots straight into WM5 and is responsive but after let's say 3 seconds BOOM there it reboots again.
Mine did the same, deleted a few folders from the storage card Program Files\ folder, think from memory the progs causing mine to reboot were CE Converter Pro, Pocket Weather & E Wallet Pro, but as already mentioned it can be any number of different programs, I didn't delete any reg entries, just the actual folders on the memory card, it seems to be a common problem I a very serious bug as far as I'm concerned, definitely one that needs addressing.
I did NOT (for example) changed/upgraded ROM. I just put new 2GB SD card and scanned some folder on it in Today Player for mp3s. It hanged. So I restarted it, aaaand I can't get to my phone at all
Sometimes it gave me message with something about Voice Commands (and hanged) and now it just hangs on Today screen - bottom "buttons" (Calendar/Contacts) aren't displayed on the screen, but everything else looks "proper". It just isn't reacting to _anything_ (I mean keyboard or touch-screen).
update1: I just noticed that Calendar and Contacts _do_ appear for less-than-a-second then disappear - and at this moment system gets unresponsive
update2: the message that sometimes appear is: "Voice Command has encountered a problem. Restart Voice Command and try again.". I googled for it but nothin helpful.
HELP!
Of course I will probably try to perform some ROM upgrade, but... (for various reasons - don't ask) ...I didn't perform any synchronization. Is there any way to backup data (most important being Contacts and SMSes) ..before performing any ROM upgrade (and assuming it will going to work)... ((
Funny thing is: I was postponing ROM update (from current 6.0) for some time, because I didn't want to loose any data...
Have you checked your battery?
Are you sure you flashed a ROM according to your RAM capacity? (128Mb or 64Mb)
Have you done a hard reset?
Please have a deep read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549207 (post 2)
Hope it helped,
1. I did NOT flash the ROM. It happened "by itself". the only thing that I could suspect is TodayPlayer trying to read folders recursively and writing something in memory.. (some kind of buffer overflow?) ..damaging the content.
2. I don't want to loose my SMSes and Contacts, so I didn't try hard reset *yet*. It's the last resort and basicaly I would be willing to even desolder the memory to get the data from it - even loosing the phone. (yes. everyone -including me- will now say: if those data were so important - why didn't you made a backup? that's why I said in my post above: "don't ask")
Is there ANY way to get to those data from software that boots from SD card? I mean - when upgrading the ROM - is there any way to backup other-than-rom contents to SD card?
Sorry to ask a simple question, but can you connect via active sync, or is the system unresponsive to this too?
I don't know what 'Today Player' is, but it sounds like that it cached stuff to the main memory (maybe making a database of music files) and has filled it up without respecting to leave any memory for the OS to use.
no prob.
I tried that and apparently it freezes cold within that fraction of a second. computer reacts to "new device" but then ActiveSync hangs because it's already unresponsive...
Hi There.
Did a search on this but didn´t find any with an identical proplem so here goes:
Once in a blue moon the phone part of my TP2 shuts down. In this event everything else but voice calls & sms works fine.
When it happens, and it did twice now, i´we tried soft reset, without success.
Only thing that seems to work is a hard reset meaning a couple of hours reinstalling everything.
Can anyone please tell me, if there is another way to restart the phone software, e.g. running an exe file from the windows directory.
Regards
ELO
try putting the phone is airplane mode and then going back to normal operation.
when the phone is working properly use a back up program like Sprite or SPB and make a back up.
Then if you have to hard reset you just load back up your restore and you are good to go. Just as a note though: It does not write over stuff that is not in the backup ie: if you removed an app or many and then backed it up it will be there when you restore. You will still have to remove those apps. However all your settings etc will still be there.
This does not solve your phone issue but it may save you a few hours that you can invest in finding a proper solution.
Good afternoon, dear xda-developers forum members.
I really hope to find some help here.
In last two months I had the following issues:
1. This one happened two times already: after using my phone as a flash in windows 7 and "safely removal" of it, all my applications which were installed on SD card were saying that "Application is no longer installed" when I tried to run it, although other documents and files were readable from ASTRO File Manager, i.e. SD card was mounted. In Settings->Applications all these applications had black icons with SD card image on it and rather with package name than regular application name(for example com.navitel instead of regular Navitel, etc.). I've restored all these applications from Titanium Backup, but I'm afraid that there is something more disappeared also which I don't know about.
2. My "Android" folder on sd card became a file with weird contents(this folder was used for NFS Shift data only). I couldn't restore it. Again: if this folder corrupted, then there is definitely something else also corrupted.
After I saw these things for the first time, I used Windows checkdisk with auto-fix errors. It found a lot of files and put it into "FOUND.000" directory. I recognized in these files few apk-files of installed applications from SD and also few images from my SD. Then I restored applications to SD card and for some time it seemed ok. But one time it happened again.
My assumption is that Android fails to re-mount SD card after I disconnect it from PC.
I don't know what to do... is it Android bug or is it Desire bug or what? I swear that I ALWAYS make "safe USB removal" in Windows before disconnect the USB-cable and I ALWAYS wait for the message "It's now safe to disconnect your device".
I'm very disappointed with all that Please, advise me something useful...
P.S.: If needed I can give you any debug information you want, I'm a programmer, so I've been around
You could try to format your SD card, just backup the contents first, see if that works. As for Android, it does a pretty good job of mounting straight after. What version of Android are you running?

I will, but strange that it happened, because I formatted the flash before using it for the first time...
I have two assumptions:
Maybe I shouldn't press power button to switch the screen off just after disconnecting USB cable from PC. I was doing that as a habit, because every time you disconnect your phone from PC, the screen turns on.
Maybe I shouldn't try to run application which is installed on SD just after disconnecting phone from PC. Maybe I should have waited for a minute. I've tried to do it once, because I wanted to see the result as soon as possible, so the phone said that "Application is no longer installed", I though that Android haven't mount SD yet and tried later. It worked. But next time when I used USB cable, all SD-card apps became uninstalled.

I'm sorry, forgot to mention. I'm using HTC Desire with Android 2.2(2.10.405.2).
Fast Boot option may be the culprit
In case anyone checks this old thread...
CUT TO THE SOLUTION BELOW -- SEARCH FOR ////
Some (not all) of my apps moved to SD (all by Titanium Backup Pro) have begun to disappear and (sometimes) reappear without warning after I began to add and delete large Virtual Machines created in QEMU from my 16GB SanDisc class 10 microSD card on my HTC Droid Incredible running rooted stock Verizon Android Froyo 2.2.3. I know this thread is far from my phone's "home base", but from what I can tell this problem with disappearing apps located on an sdcard is NOT determined by hardware or even Android version.
I also happen to use LauncherPro by Federico Carnales instead of the built-in HTC Sense launcher. I noted elsewhere on XDA that a user had suggested that because at least some (maybe all) launchers start before the SD Card that this may be a problem, especially if changes are made to the sdcard that the launcher did not perform, or was not active during their performance by other apps such as Titanium Backup. That fits my situation, because I unmounted the SD, physically removed it to a PC, and added/deleted large VM files to save (lots) of time. No problems of this sort before I did this, so there must be some connection.
I noted that other users have tried reformatting SD, substituting different brands of SD, using newer/older SD etc. None of these reliably helped. So I skipped these options.
//// The (simple!) solution I tried that SEEMS to work (only time will tell!) is buried in the main Android Settings (accessed from the Menu button while in Home screen). Under "Applications" there is a setting "Fast Boot" that I checked long ago and forgot about (it seemed like a good thing to do at the time). The text warns "Turn off to use some Market apps" (that shows the age of my 2-yr old used phone and Android OS -- ohmygosh!-- because it refers to Market rather than Google Play Store!) Anyway, I unchecked the option and rebooted the phone.
Yes, it took a bit longer to boot (maybe a whole minute!), but after waiting about another minute ALL my home screen apps had normal icons and loaded properly. Titanium Backup Pro batch scenarios confirmed there were no apps in a forced uninstalled state (i.e. I had not done the deed, the system somehow had done it or at least rendered the apps "invisible" to Titanium, which decided they needed reinstallation).
The only odd behaviour was that auto brightness was turned off after I unchecked Fast Boot and rebooted. Going into Android Settings > Display and rechecking "auto brightness" took care of that. No other oddities or strange behaviours thus far (but it has only been about an hour).
I will report back here on this thread only (Samsung Fascinate > Fascinate Q&A > What just happend? apps on sdcard) if anything else requires reporting. Silence implies success!
