Hi,
I am using dopod 818pro. But whenever i use a 4gb(mainly kingstone SD memory card) memory card, it shows, "no memory card installed". But i can use 2gb memory card (any brand).
My config is as follows-
windows mobile 6.1 professional
processor- OMAP850-195MHz
memory- 50.02 mb
ROM version- 7.0.0.7 WWE
ROM DATE- 7/5/8
RADIO VERSION- 02.19.21
RAM size-64mb
So please help me to use 4 GB memory card.
SDHC
The HTC prophet doesn't support SDHC cards (over 2 Gig)!
i'm using non sdhc 4gb card from transcend. make sure your card is not sdhc...
oh yes, but you still need a driver
hey man, if you have a normal SD card with 4GB, it still will not just work ,you needed a driver of some sort, sorry, I had it, but changed my computer some months ago. Maybe someone else has it?
do you?? i just put the card in & my prophet recongnised it.
SD
I used to have MMC and I thought the disable power management would resolve my problem of getting my files disappearing from the card if the path 2 or more folders deep, but when I changed the card to a normal SD (2GB), I had the same problems happening sometimes (but not as frequently as before), but I'm getting another (harder) problem now. I'm saying harder because this seems to be very hard to track because it happens when it wants!!
sometimes the card works for several days without any issue, but sometimes I get a blank card. even though when I look at the status I see the used space and the free space, but when I open it with resco or file explorer it's just blank.
and I even got a worse problem (fortunately it happened only one time yet). since I set the ie and opera cash to the card, these programs created their temp folder on the card again, but everything else was totally erased! I used a recovery software to get my data back!!
as I said, it happened once, but the usual problem is I just see nothing on the card until I shut down, and boot my prophet again. and sometimes it doesn't work until I do this several times.
I think I've looked everywhere to find a solution for my problem, but I didn't find any real solution for it. I've tried several roms, several cards, always getting the same problem. I don't think it's a hardware issue because of its nature. I mean how could it be a hardware issue if the data disappears without even touching my phone? if there is a hardware issue I don't think the card would be recognized at all! or (at least) it won't be recognized after I move it (causing the weak or loose contacts - if any - to disconnect) however, I don't think it's true, because the contacts are clean and tight, and like all HTC devices, the SD slot is high quality.
if anyone can offer a real solution to my problem, then I'll say he/she is the one who enabled me get the full of my HTC Prophet!
So thank you in advance. whoever you are!
I have an interesting problem with my phone (updated to froyo via OTA)
whenever I move a app to sd card or from sd card to phone the widgets on scenes reload (you as if the phone is turned on first time) and the weather widget stays as a grey rectangle box.
It is only fixed if I remove it and add again as a widget. I believe this weather widget situation also causes battery drain. I am not sure though, does the same happen to you if move an app to sd or vice versa
I have even tried hard reset, still the same. weather widget doesn't function after moving an app to sd.
I have this problem too. Unbranded UK Desire with OTA Froyo
Tried a hard reset to no avail.
Same problem here. Nothing helps.
Sent from my ZX Spectrum using Froyo_zx81
Same here also............
anyone else ? or anyone with a solution
can it be related to SD card ?
It happens to me too. Orange UK desire, debranded using a WWE ROM and OTA updated to 2.2. Rebooting also brings back the weather.
I just wish the news would automatically update.
Are you moving anything that has a widget?
I have Vanilla android but you can't move anything with a widget to SD Card (for example, last.fm). If you do, those widget(s) wont be avaliable for selection.
It could be possible that if you're moving something with a widget, that particular widget is lost and thus all widgets are refreshed in the launcher causing a freeze.
It happens with every app I move to sd or from sd to phone. Refreshment of widgets is not a problem it happens very fast and doesn't cause any issues.
However, something goes wrong with weather widget. It does not refresh correctly, it stays as a big grey rectanagle w/o any icon or info on it.
I'm also suffering from this problem. I get it whenever I mount my phone as a disk drive. I've also noticed that it's only the large weather widget that won't refresh.
How did I miss this thread?! Yes, I too have this problem and I already described it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7525995#post7522835
And I can add 4 more people with this issue. Yup, in my office this phone is very popular So we tested it on every phone we have. This deffinitely should be reported to HTC. I did.

When you move the app to SD card, not entire app will be moved, however the mojority part does.
So if you move the app which contains widget to SD card, it is highly possible the widget is also been moved. And the phone will not have the access to SD card when you mount it as a disk drive via USB cable, that also means your phone will not be able to retrieve any data from SD card.

Yup I also get this when I mount my phone as a disk drive.
I think its because when u mount it on the pc it demounts it from the phone so all the apps on the SD card get removed from all the menus and desktop links get messed up and it reboots sense.

How to Move Apps to the SD Card on Android Froyo the Easy Way with SDMove
Some apps shouldn't be installed to the SD (especially not widgets), even though the app itself supports it

Nope, I think this article is not about this bug (and it is a BUG). Five phones I tested behave the same way - widgets go nuts after connect / disconnect phone from PC and upon moving any "SD card safe" application to SD card (tried Compass, Rock Player, Slide Puzzle game...)
Aforemetioned article is just a help for people whose common sense is not so common Of course I would never try to move a widget on SD card, but I guess some people would...

What OS are people on? As I am experiencing this problem also. Widgets reset as soon as I connect the phone to my PC. I'm running Win7 64bit which this happens on yet on my work laptop running WinXP 32bit the phone mounts fine and not a single widget resets.
Idea's?

I use Windows 7 32bit. Will try XP tomorrow... But widgets also behave funny on initial boot, in which case if you are "pushing it" weather widget can also crash.
Done some more messing about and this is defiantly related to move apps to sd card. I moved an app to the sd card and tried on both my work laptop and my home pc. Both running different OS's and it happens on both. I then moved the app back to the phone and connected the phone to the laptop and then the PC and the widgets did not reset.
I've raised call with HTC so hopefully that they will be somewhat helpful but not holding my breath.
FroYo, unbranded Desire, I find the Weather widget goes blank and cannot be reactivated, but I think this only happens when I am in an area that does not have a specific weather report.
My solution is just to remove the widget and then add it again to the desktop. Frustrating but only takes a moment.
Happened with my phone as well when I updated to 2.2 yesterday. (unbranded, unrooted, 32 GB sandisk sd card)
I can only speak for myself, I have never tried, and never will try to move any weather app or widget to SD card but the problem is still there.
As soon as I move any other apps to SD (for instance Opera mini) the weather widget dies, it goes grey and cannot be refreshed. The only solution I have found is to remove the widget and them put it back again, then it works and updates.
I say this is a software bug, and not a problem between the desire screen and 40 centimeters away
Tried different operating systems today: XP 32bit, XP 64bit, Windwos 7 32bit, Windows 7 64bit. The bug, as described above, persists!

Hi,
Everytime my phone runs out of battery power or I reboot the handset, the phone refuses to load all the applications for the memory card. The memory card can be seen - within the settings, however the applications dont appear as normal within the menu or on the homescreen, the names of the apps are present but their each application logo of applications installed on the memory card is the same.
This is random also. Sometimes the apps show as normal, all icons load as normal. But mostly it fails. If it does load as normal, it sometimes takes upto 5 minutes for the card to 'kick in'.
Any suggestions please?
It could be to do with your sd card. What brand & size card do you have, where did you but it from and how did you first format it?
All the above may not be relevant, but some cheaper, non branded cards can cause issues!
Something you could try... I was having a similar issue, except mine would boot up with the message sd card corrupted.
Only a format would get it working again in the phone, but strangely my PC could view it, although the pc would occasionally loose sight if it!?
The only solution I found is to unmount the sd card before shutting down - Menu, settings,
Sd & phone storage, unmount sd card.
This seems to resolve my issue, perhaps it will help you too? (although it won't be possible when the battery dies I guess.
I hope that helps! Let me know how you get on!

I have the problem but I have +75 apps on the SD card, pretty chunky ones too and my SD card read/write speed on class 2/4/6 cards is down to 1-5MB/s best case when using such a forced SD card installation for most apps so I sort of expected it. In my case, it seems to be Titanium Backup causing a hold up for the rest since it is always the last to load before the rest can commence, and if it doesn't load, most of the rest don't either. For whatever reason, it can take minutes to load so it delays everything else (7 minutes is the max I've counted).
If I hit a reload SD card widget on my homescreen that is part of SwitchPro widget, everything reloads as expected so I generally use this.

I'll give that widget a shot, thanks.
I picked up a Black Friday A100, and spent the day playing with it, when I discovered that the micro-SD card I installed wasn't being read properly by the tablet. I had pulled it from my Nook Color, and while the A100 seemed to mount the card just fine, it couldn't see any of the contents. After reading a thread where someone else had a similar problem and solved it by replacing the tablet, I exchanged it at Wally World only to discover that this one has the same problem. I've tried multiple SD cards with no luck, and also noticed that the tablet doesn't give me the option of formatting the card.
Anyone else have this same problem? If so, do you have any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks in advance!
i also picked one up yesterday and popped in the SD card from my Nook Color, but I had no issues reading it.
Picked one up myself and had the same problem but found that the microSD is at /mnt/external_sd and not the usual /sdcard. They either have an internal sdcard for the tablet's memory or they have mapped onboard memory to the normal sdcard location.
Enjoy the tablet!

After a bit of research, it seems that the problem isn't with the tablet... it's with my expectations. Apparently, with Honeycomb, Android dropped the ability to move apps to the external SD card. The 8GB internal card is where the apps are installed, and the external_sd is only for media like movies, books, pictures and music. It seems like a strange step backward from Froyo, but it makes sense if a lot of the problems with performance and FCs had to do with apps running off of potentially crappy SD cards.
So... the stuffs still there, but it's just buried under root mnt/external_sd. For things like Titanium back-up, you just need to move the folder to the internal sdcard for the program to see it.
I hope this makes sense.
If you do need to free up some of internal storage (if you have a bunch of games with 200+ mb resource packs) you can install a root-access app called "GL to HD" that lets you move the game files to SD.
To make a long story short, I took some irreplaceable pictures today that disappeared.
I have my camera saving to my 64gb memory card. I took a few pictures and a couple of panoramas and they ended up showing up glitchy and useless.
They didn't appear in the gallery with the exception of a few images.
It looked odd.
I rebooted the phone and tried to go into the gallery and they just weren't there. The previews showed up momentarily and then they vanished.
Now when I try to take a photo to go to my external memory, it works fine. It didn't pre-reboot.
Is there a method of:
A: Recovering my lost 10-15 images.
B: Ensuring that this doesn't happen in the future.
For the record, my card seems to be working fine. Music on it loads up quickly as well as any other images that I loaded onto it. Files open and there is zero lag. I don't suspect that the card is corrupted or anything.
Thanks guys.

You could try something like Recuva: https://www.piriform.com/recuva
I successfully used that to restore files deleted from microSD cards a few years back.

I'm unfortunately on a Mac. Guess I'll boot into boot camp and install it and give it a go.
I hope the pictures actually existed as files though and not some cached object.
Update:
Overnight, the saving issue arose again. I'm forced to use internal storage when using my camera.
I've seen this problem before. So SD cards don't work well with Samsung devices. I bought a Samsung SD card and never seem this problem again. I recommend you do the same.

I wish I wasn't broke :/
I'm using a SanDisk 64gb. Guess I've gotta dig up some cash and get a Samsung.
I don't see how this is an issue though.
What is your card formatted in? My current is in exfat. I'm thinking the format may be an issue.
It may be a kitkat issue. Google "kitkat SD card write". Root users are using a fix that sets permissions so the sd card can be written to by all apps as expected.

Right before I came across your post, I found some info on the kitkat issue with sd cards. I'm guessing that's what's causing this problem. Odd because it's the default Samsung camera that's messing up.
Oh, how I miss root. I just hope we get root soon. I'm pretty close to selling this phone and hopping on Tmobile.
I had this problem happen with very VERY irreplaceable pictures, on my backpacking trip to china, one of the most irreplaceable pictures of my entire life was taken, appeared glitchy in gallery, phone reset and it was gone.
after taking out the SD card, and doing many deep scans to try and recover the deleted pictures, it seems the pictures arent there, which leads me to believe it somehow tried to save it in internal memory (which cant be mounted as a drive, so cannot be recovered).
if you can somehow flash an older version of android (like 2.xx) you can mount your phone as a drive, and then attempt to recover deleted data from your internal SD..
yeah all i can say is ,,|,, you samsung.
I too have the same problems as the OP. And I am on SAMSUNG micro SD card! Guess it is one of those first batch gremlins?
However, I think the problem has gone away after I switch on the image "preview" option. Give it a try.
I had the same issue with a 64gGB SanDisk micro SD card. The camera would seem as if it was taking pictures but nothing was actually saved; they just shows as corrupted files in the gallery. I lost countless irreplaceable images from our honeymoon because of this. Once I switched to a 32GB Samsung micro SD card I never had the issue again, also saving the pictures directly to the internal memory solved the problem. I use the SD card for music as well so it has to be something with the phone writing to the SD card. From what I've read it's a issue with the compatability with samsung and non samsung sd cards for some reason.

Never had this issue with any of my Samsung phones (S2, S4, and now the Note 4). I'm using a SanDisk Class 10 32GB. I'd recommend pulling the files off the SD and doing a format. Download the App SD Maid as well for routine maintenance on your SD. Good luck.
My 64GB SanDisk SD card was giving unexpected unmounted errors, so I picked up a Samsung 64GB SD card. The unexpected unmount errors went away, but now I have this problem. Pictures are not saving to the SD card correctly. Sometimes it says media not found. Others the preview/thumbnail looks fine but the full view is just grey.
I am going to try saving to internal memory and manually moving to the SD card as I run out of room.
