Does your wm6 work well with a 4G mini sdhc???

hello everyone
i'm using a 4gb sandisk mini sdhc with my trinity, and the rom is "v3.00.07.09 PDAVIET". there are lots of problem on this combination, the biggest one is that i cannot find anything after i open a folder!!!(for example, clike storage card->progame files-> you find nothing there!!! but after one soft reset, the system runs well in about 10-20 minutes, then same problem again.)
is this a bug of the rom? or does the problem comes from this sdhc card? anybody know how to fix it? thanks

Hi there... I've got the same problem with all the wm6 "flavours" I've tested so far.
I've narrowed the problem down (in my case) to the way the device was being powered down... If I just let it by itself so that it powers down own its own when I power it back on everything is OK with the memory stick. All the folders and their contents are there.
In the other hand, if I press the power button so that the device powers down (what I usually do to save battery switching off the screen etc and keeping the phone functions on) whenever I power it back on all the memory card contents are either gone (can't see them on the file manager) or otherwise corrupt, showing as garbled characters sometimes or just showing empty folders.
As for now I'm waiting for Mun's next ROM to give wm6 another try... but if the problem persist I'll have to stick to WM5 (sadly missing the HTC Home Plugging which is wm6 only).
Best,
M Addario

what language do u use in your wm6?
i just find that, a english rom without any other language plug-in, the rom will be stable with this 4gb sdhc. hope this can help u 2. cheers.

Hello, i use a Transcend 4GB SDHC (class 2) card and have no problems at all with ax3l wm6 rom 2.0.8
under wm5 the card didnot work correctly

My Transcend 4GB SDHC works fine too.

i'm just testing 4gb Transcend classe4 SDHC an no problem

I'm using Sandisk MiniSDHC 4 Gb and tested many WM5-6 roms.
Every rom worked properly with the card.

some software make system unstable.
hi everyone, i just find where the problem comes. some software, like ce-star(this software enable your system display asian language) can make rom unstable. the problem will go as long as you uninstall that software!

TomTom 6 - NO Map Found

I am using HTC P3600 with WM6. Every time I power off and on the device, start up TomTom, it will say 'No Map Found'. The only work around is to remove the SD card, do a soft reset, re-insert the SD card.
Is this a bug with WM6 or a bug with TomTom?
Can anyone shed some light here? Is there a solution??

Change ROMs!

After having tried most cooked WM6 ROMs over the past six months, I've noticed now and again that some do lose contact with the SD card.
I'd change ROMs and see if that fixes the problem.
Cheers!

hmm...i have ROM 3.00.707.17
i am a bit reluctant to upgrade to a new ROM just to test this out

Disable Bluetooth Explorer from Settings -> Connections -> Bluetooth -> Bluetooth FTP
It causes TomTom to think that the bluetooth folder is your storage card and tries to load map from there. Disabling it should do the trick.

hi
i would reformat youre sd card i had a same problem the map folder got corupted u may also find that u wount be able to remove folders or rename them the only way i could recover from this is to format the card
hope this helps

Try deleting the MSMETADATA
This happened to me in almost all roms. This is mostly accompanied by Mediaplayer loosed all songs in the memory card.
Try deleting MSMETADATA. It's a hidden folder in the memory card.
Please acknowledge.
I hope this helps.

if the map folder is corrupted in anyway, then i should the 'No Map found' error every time, correct? it should not only happen when i power on and off.

i'm using a 4gb SDHC(sandisk) with my trinity(wm6)
i found that the sd card corrupt very often with all roms.
tomtom cannot find map because sd card had corrupted.
just a soft reset can solve this problem.
i suppose wm6 do not support sdhc very well, or mybe my sd card is not good

disable bluetooth explorer seems to do the trick. Thanks everyone for all the help!!!

I think tomtom, WMP and other programs use the first drive found after FLASHDR.
If you have only SD, you should have FLASHDR and DSK1
No problem ...
If you enable the BT Explorer, you will have
FLASHDR and BTD1 and (the second optionnal drive ?) DSK1
If all programs class the "optionnal drive" by their name ... Does a rename of BTD1 to DSK2 can resolve the problem ? in this case, the DSK1 will be always SD and 2 the BT.

Slow microSD write speed!!!

HI
I have one little problem with microSD card! When I copy some files on card with ActiveSinc or with mobile, speed is 35 Kb/s!!! When I copy the same file with card reader speed is 3-5 Mb/s!!! Is this a problem with my Hermes (AT&T 8525) or with ROM (Shap's 3.60, 4.0, ..., 4.30)? Maybe SDHC driver is problem or something else? Anyone tried some other ROMs?

Are you using vista? I experience the same thing, but only under vista

i am experiencing this as well
using the card reading da speed is very fast

What ROM are you running? Some with SDHC driver?

I am also facing the same problem. I am using vista and Schap's full rom 4.31. Not sure what to do.
At&t 8525
olipro 2.10

I noticed the same - Fixed the problem by using WM5torage and I had write speed

Maybe WM5torage fix the problem when coping from computer to phone (SD) but when I copy from phone to SD card its slow (when I'm recording something with VITO AudioNotes to SD it says that my device is slow and I can't record for a long time)!!! Anyone tried with generic (not custom built) ROM?

Maybe you can use the format of FAT.

This has always been the case when transfering files onto the card via activesync.........just unfortunatly the way the software transfers the files to the device and then to the SD card from there.
As said above, ive overcome the problem with the use of a card reader or using WM5torage.

OK! But my question was is there any way to speed up write speed phone to sd? I always transfer files from my computer with card reader but some PPC programs (VITO Audionotes) are complaining about sd speed and it wouldn't work as they should! Is this problem with SDHC driver or is it device?

Try to change File System cache...
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize
I set CacheSize to 512 and work fine with this settings. Look at this settings in your registry and try to change other parameters.

No! The problem is still there! Something else?

What card are you using ?
Benchmark your memory card with SPB Benchmark or Pocket Mechanic and post here the results..

WM5 Storage on my Schaps 4.22
Ok, I thought I saw WM5 storage in my Rom,, but now that you mention it,,I can't find it (unless it was there on a previous Rom , and not there now). I think ,last time I dug it up by accident, I was asking myself what the hell this SW was used for. So, for speeding up things, how do I use WMstorage to enhance download from PC to SDcard installed on Device? Found WM5Storage through file explorer,,tried it , but can't get my PC to see SDcard..

I would think about the low usb 1.1 speed.

USB 1.1 is slow but not that slow and I am copyng from phone to SD card so this is not a problem and the SD card is also not a problem because i tried few different cards and the result is the same!

Maximum Storage Card Capacity in O2 Orbit ?

I have an O2 XDA orbit and used to have a 2GB SD card i it which worked fine but I have lost it. I am not looking to buy a new one and the prices have dropped so was thinking about getting a 4 or 8GB card but was wondering if my phone would be able to handle it.
Does anyone know if there is a maximum SD card size we can use in our O2 orbits?
Thanks for your time,

memory
hi,
it supports 4 gb as i have used the same with a 4 gb

a friend of mine uses 8gb, there is a "patch" for it somewhere; dont know the link atm

Obviously the one named wm6 is for wm6, the other is for wm5 (although I think they both work for wm5)

Maximum Storage Card Capacity in O2 Orbit
Hi,
inside my Orbit, a 8GB SHDC card is working. I use the Artemis Touch 4.02 WM6.1 ROM --> the SDHC support is already implemented in this ROM --> no patch needed .
Kind regards,
hqqh

Thanks everyone. I ahve the touch 4.01 so does that have the patch ?

Yes it does.

I just put a new Sandisk 8gb micro sd in my Orbit (using Artemis Touch 4.02 WM6.1 ROM) Works fine, shows as 8gb in Total Commander, but on my today screen (if I'm reading it right) it's indicating it's only 3686mb?

Have you formatted your micro sd card yet? If you decide to make sure you format it with fat32 selected.

No. I tried format from my pc card reader but it won't detect it. I didn't try to format in the Orbit (couldn't find the option) I found another screen (storage memory or some such) where it showed as 8gb, just not the today screen.

the micro sd 4g card doesnt work on xda orbit arte 200 wm 5 regardless if its formated to FAT or FAT 32, however 2g works fine. I suppose this is the reason that on websites its written " expandable memory slot" and the value aint mentioned. If theres any way to 'patch ' it to make 4g work on wm5, i'd be curious 2 know.

btw, has any one managed to use the internet via wi fi on xda orbit arte 200 WM5. what has to b done??? mine connects to the wifi, but is unable to browse the internet for an unknown reason.

have you downloaded the sdhc.cab update here on xda???
Will allow upto 8gig(what I use in my partners orbit) may even allow larger but never tried...just do a search...
It works on ALL PPCc and wm based devices...
I use it in my i-mate pda-n (8gig card) and Orbit (standard rom which is partners) but also try a newer rom with 6.5 as is included...

I use sandisk SDHC 8GB more than 2 years and it work perfect , i have wm6.5.
cheers

32 GB MicroSDCard working without problems for a long time. Prerequisite is the sdhc.cab patch for original roms, in current roms it is mostly included.
Regards!

Can any1 having like for wm 6.5 for o2 xda orbit
???

WM6.1 as removable storage card

First I apologize for being lazy and not reading x+1 threads trying to find the answer.
I installed WM5 Storage thingie on WM6.1 and when I activate it, I get message from computer that says new bluetooth something installed but it has some problems working.
Question is, is there a program with what you can make the TyTN running WM6.1 to appear as removable storage card (especially the SD) on a computer?

WM5 Storage (version 1.8) does exactly this on my tytn running CRC's v13.0 wm6.1 rom.

WM5 storage has never worked for me on Schap's, DVH, or PDACorner

There are some compatibility settings in the newest WM5 storage, I suggest trial and error with them.

That's interesting, since I am too using CRC v 13.0 and it's a no go for me. The version is also 1.8.

if you disable RNDIS on activate it usually works.
