Hello!
I just purchased a new 4GB Sd card for my HTC Universal and I'd like to test it, so I can garantee it's 150x (it's a OEM one).
Is it possible, either doing it on PPC or on laptop (I have card reader)?
Which software to use?
Best regards,
Deiota
pocket mechanics for pda
on pc you can use any hd benchmark program and just pick the sdreader
or you can use total commander and copy stuff to the card total commander tell at what speed it's transfered
but on the pda it will never run full speed
sd interfaces on pda's cant keep up with new sd cards speeds at all

How do I get programs that are installed on my device to find files on my storage card? eg. I have Ms Pocket Streets installed on the device, but when it starts it opens a page which has a drop down menu for "All Folders". "All Folders" shows only folders on the device and not my SD card. This happens with all programs. As you can imagine my 1 Gig SD card is badly under utilized as I have to store all files in the device. I use to have a Nokia 9210, which occasionally suffered this problem, but a reset fixed it. Is there an undocumented reset to fix this? Or is it a problem with SD cards? Could I set up a shortcut to the storage card and if so, how do I do it?
I assume you can "see" the MMC card from File Explorer
I have an XDAIIs which refuses to recognise any SD cards at all, but will work happily with MMC cards
in file explorer, go to root....i.e. "My Device"
then you should see "storage card".....tap it and you should be off...
BAM!!!
good luck....

Hmm im having these troubbles with MMC card, and got my Kingston Secure Digital 1024MB Elite Pro1 today, and haven't seen the problem so far.
And it's fast

yeah, I know that SD is faster than MMC, but my XDA simply refuses to read any SD cards - and I've tried 6 or so
Damm, never should have wrote that message. My SD card just dissapered and had to do a Soft Reset to get it back........................
DAMM i'm getting tired of constantly having to reset it to use SD :twisted:
Rejoice - My SD_Card has come back
My 1 Gig SD Card is now recognized by ALL my programs. I'm not sure which changes caused it to come back, but here's what I remember I did.
1. I found a zero length file on the device called ignore_my_docs & I copied it to the root directory on my SD_Card.
2. I remapped my SD_Card & renamed it in Pocket Mechanic (Storage Folders - view & configure the storage card mount folders name)
and
3. I installed & uninstalled MVP movie player & "voila" everything was fixed.
You might think step 2 was the answer but I checked after this and the card still wasn't recognized. I have noticed that another 4k file has appeared in the SD Card root directory simply named dummy. I don't know if my PPC is trying to tell me something.
I'm guessing what actually fixed it is that the movie player had a playlist generator & I'm thinking that fixed the problem of the device finding the card, but your guess is as good as mine.
I'd certainly be interested in peoples view and if what I've done works on anyone elses PPC.
PS. Tried to FTP both v small files but FTP keeps rejecting :-(

What do you mean "remapped" the SD card, simply rename the moint point in pocket mechanic?
I'm sure I've tried renaming the moint point but pocket mechanic doesn't even recognise my Sd storage card. I'll play around some more
ANOTHER UPDATE
A colleague at work had the same problem. We transfered a powerpoint presentation to his storage card (1gig SD Card) and when we loaded ClearVue PPT viewer on O2 XDA IIs it didn't list in all folders.
I created a folder on the storage card called My Powerpoint and beamed "dummy" & "ignore_my_docs" to him we tried to transfer both to the root directory on his device, but it reported that "ignore_my _docs" already existed. I think it might be a hidden file.
So after transferring dummy into the root directory we reloaded ClearVue PPT viewer and My Powerpoint appeared in the All Folders list. We selected it and there was the presentation.
It works for me......
Hmmmm...
Well my problem has got worse...
I bought a new 1Gb MMC card since I thought my machine was not reading SD cards and it doesn't work!!!!!. My 128Mb card is fine, but I've reformatted the new card, sowrn at it, pleaded with it etc, but pocket mechanic doesn't even see it.
So I can not read any SD cards and only one of my two MMC cards, but all the cards read fine in my PC
GRRRR!!!!! :evil: :evil:
anybody got any ideas?

You may have already sorted this but...
I had exactly the same problem with my 1GB PNY SD card it read fine in my pc but not in my mda. I compared it to my old 256 MMC and noticed the card was a bit warped and the bit where the metal contacts are was a bit thinner. So (I know this sounds drastic :? ) I bent the card slightly :shock: (not too much pressure) which made all the contacts touch the relevent bits in the slot and it's worked ok since.
Hope this helps
I'll try anything - which way did you bend it? I presume convex with the connectors on the outside radius
Thanks
Chris
yes that was the way... But just try it both ways and stick it in.. Not too much though, just till you feel a bit of resistance.
Looking to get a 4gb sd card for my IIs, I heard that the transcend 4gb sd works fine.. I also heard that I need a card reader to format it..
Doing a search I found that there is software that can turn the IIs into a card reader, which would save me buying one, but I can't find the name of the software.
Can someone give me the name of a piece of software which turns the IIs into a card reader...
Thx.
Found one called Card Export II.. basically turns the pda in to mass storage device via usb..
It finds my storage folder and sd card as separate removable drives.. it's the mutts nuts.
Hey, this is my first post, but i've been looking around here a lot recently and have learned quite a bit. I have a question regarding my SDHC card on my phone.
So well I flashed Rose's Rom 1.6 on to my dash and implemented Windows Mobile 6.1 in order to try and get my 4gb SDHC card working on it. After doing this and going through several drivers, the card still was not recognized. Help?

Is your card formatted to the FAT32...
the card wont be read by my phone or my laptop so i cant configure it
I suggest getting a SDHC reader for your laptop then. Always good to have anyway. I find it faster to copy files through a reader then through syncing anyway. I have a 4gb in my Dash
it is possible the card is no good , have a friend try and read / write to it ?
having several devices ( htc-621 , asus Eee pc , 2 camera's , generic mp3 player ) that use the sd/hc format , and a ( small ) handfull of cards from 1 to 8 gig ,
i agree that a usb sd/hc reader and adapters for micro sd is the way to go .
makes it uber-easy to load / share photo's , music , movies etc.
i dont seem to see a huge speed difference transfering files via sync or through the usb adapter . ( could just be my pc ? )

Na there isnt much of a speed difference transferring files through sync or through usb adapter...
What brand is the card? I have heard that sometimes certain brands are not compatible.

I have to disagree there is a massive ammount of difference on data transfer speed, try copying a full album via async can take 4-5 mins card reader 20-30 secs at the most... The other problem with async transfer is there is a top out on the size of data you can transfer in one file off the top of my head can't mem the exact ammount.

Try transferring a big file through ActiveSync (something like a map for navigation software) and you'll notice a HUGE speed difference, activesync being much slower

Haha I only transfer like 10 MB at most, I never transferred huge files... lol.... but thanks for the info...
Some months ago I was able (after half a night - due to my incompetence, a slow connection and a very large map) to install Garmin - it works excellent on my Blackstone!
Meanwhile I installed a lot of things to this card; to avoid a lack of space I bought a bigger microSD and copied all the data to this new SD card. All programms are working - all except Garmin. Unfortunately it seems to be impossible to transfer the Garmin Data to the bigger SD card.
Is there a understandable method for dummies like me to transfer Garmin and the map to a bigger microSD card - WITHOUT using the terrible and very complicated way of "normally" installing?
Thanks for your help!
unless you turn on the dark side of the net, and look for a "illegal" I suppose keygen to register your legally bought maps, I'm afraid it will be impossible.
unfortunately garmin does not understand that their product is not the only piece of soft we want to be able to run on our phones. nor that we would like to have some music or video files beside of our beloved navigation system.
haha...what i did was put the microsd ontop of the sim while using my 16gb. i just swap it when i want to use garmin. Previously i have crossed over to the DARKside when i used HTC DIamond. My justification is i own the damn software but there is no slot to put the memory card.
i have a SanDisk 16gb micro SD card and recently it has been making file explorer crawl and crash when im trying to navigate my data. i tried using total commander to access the memory card hoping that it was just file explorer giving me a hard time and it is doing almost the same thing in total commander (it is slightly more manageable in total commander) this did not start happening untill a few weeks ago. is there a chance that a corrupted file would be causing this issue or possibly i just have the card too full up? (its not at capacity yet but it is about 1 gig away)
is anybody else having this problem or does anyone have some insight for me? any help is much appreciated.
Chances are it's only a Class 2 card. Those are extremely sllllllooooooowwwww.

correct, it is class 2, but it used to be no problem whatsoever untill a week or so ago, anyone else got any clues?
It could be a combination of the fact that it's Class 2 and you loaded it to near capacity. I wouldn't think a corrupted file could do that, although I might be wrong. It could also just be a bad card. I've gotten a few that work fine for a couple days and then stop working completely. I would go with a higher class in the future (or a lower capacity Class 2 card).
Perform a CheckDisk/Scandisk(equivalent for your OS) on the card either via a Card Reader w/ an adapter, or connecting your phone to your PC in Disk Mode. Kind of fishy that it would happen all of a sudden. Flash media doesn't have noticeable file fragmentation issues.
You could also back up everything you have on the card, reformat the card, and reload everything back to it.
Hopefully this may help.
thanks for your responses, i will definately buy a higher class card in the future. how exactly do i perform that scan on my card though? i have an sd adapter so i can plug it directly into my computer. i use vista for my OS

Plug the card into the adapter, and in file explorer on your PC, right-click on the drive that is the SD card. Choose "properties", then the "tools" tab. There you will see the option to "check this drive for errors"
And for future reference, this is the same procedure you would use to do a "chkdsk" on any drive connected to your pc. It will check for signs of defects to the physical media.
