XDA IIi Storage card problems - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi. O2 swapped out my 2s for a 2i. I've got a MMC card with some MP3s on used to play fine in WMP9 on the 2s however... on the 2i the song cuts out randomly and crashes WMP10 until I take the card out and put it back in or do a soft reset. Also my friend with another 2i has the same problem playing video files from storage card it hangs in random places... Anyone else experienced this?
Cheers

I have similar issues though I find its if I actually have something running/playing from the storage card and have to use the phone...

so its just another crappy bug then? Text messages or the phone ringing also kill WMP on mine aswell...

I've had problems with SD card on my XDA 2i.
It keeps freezing up when programs are run from storage card, or playing music or video from storage card.
Anyone else come across this? And is there a solution to it?

Is anyone able to shed some ight on this problem?
I cannot fit much else on the built in memory after installing tom tom navigation software and maps. Installing it to the memory card causes the program to freeze after a few minutes, and i have to reset.
Please help.

I'm not experiencing this.
I woul not run programs from the SD. Just store the maps there. I'm using Tom Tom too - installed in main memory and maps on SD.

Hi, I had a similar problem with my II when running TomTom, with the maps on the sd card. Changed the make of the card and all now well. Seemed as if the card was not compatable with the XDA.

SD CARD problem

hope someone could help...
im having problems with my 1G SD memory card. I have mp3s and movies on there and when i enter it into my XDAII and play it while using another program (ie file explorer), my music/movie lags and skips. What's the problem? is it because my device is dirty? or a bad card? it was running smoothly before when i first bought it. But now its doing this when i play music.
help please
i had the same problem once
i solved it by removing journalbar which took
too much cpu while running so the xda2 got audio issues
try removing your today items one by one and see
also using the program
www.GB-SOFT.cz/XDAII
and setting audio streaming prioity up also helps alot
thank you sooo much it worked.

Tom Tom On XDA IIi Please !!! Help !!!

I tried looking on the forums but my head started to hurt can anyone help me with this
I have just helped my friend setup Tomtom 5 in their XDA IIi they are using the standard O2 rom only other app installed is sprite back up
They are using a wired reciever
Tom tom opens fine and aquires 7 or 8 sats no problems
Route is planned and off they go
But after a couple of mins it locks completely
No phone calls or texts sent or recieved to make it lock up, it just stops
I havent got a clue cos it worked fine for me on my M1000 and now on my Wizard, (i know about unticking recieve in coming beams)
At frist i thought it my be the reciever but surely it would'nt aquire the sats in the frist place
Anyone got any clues ??
My firend has bought this set up because of the way i priased everything up, and now it wont work and i fell like a muppet, please help so i can sort it out and look more brainer than I am
Have you applied all the upgrades for TT5?
No we have'nt upgraded it yet if we upgrade to 5.2 will this sort it out ???
Had the same problem myself - after trawling thru posts here changed my sd card to a transcend x80 one and works fine now.
Apparently alot of slower cards won't work in the xda2i for tomtom.
My original card was a 512 sandisk (bog standard type) and when i tried tomtom it just locked up after a couple of minutes ( running tomtom5.21).
Since changing to the transcend x 80 its not locked at all.
I bought a 80x 1GB transcend card after looking at the forums...didn't stop it crashing.
My symptoms are:
1. Freezes at more or less defined/fixed regions in the journey - conclusion: the phone handoff singalling when moving from one cell to another is causing the sd card to stop working.
2. Taking the sd card out and immediately putting it back in will, most of the time, get the device back on track, without having to restart the xda or tomtom softwre (only works for a limited no. of tries...after that a rest is required).
My fix:
take the sim card out OR put the device into flight mode (if not using bluetooth).
Still worth getting a high speed 'quality; sd card (like a transcend) for your pda... it makes moving files back and forth much faster...and it's more stable when watching mini videos.
Same here!
TT5 also crashes and closes after a while on my QTek S100. I tried to take out the sim card, but didn't work. Any more suggestions?
sd card
if i buy a new sdcard how do i transfer the tomtom data from the old card, a question from a complete novice, keith :lol:

XDA IIi freezing,while accessing SD card

Hai,
I have recently bought XDAIIi a month ago.
I really don't use the pda much, but I bought it just bcos I fancy it.
But now it is getting struck too often, mostly while I listen to mp3 music. while I am playing he playlist, player freeze down :roll: If I leave the device as it is the whole device will freeze after a while.
I have taken off the SD card out, when media player was frozen and re-inserted. By doing this player comes back from frozen state. there was no problem with my SD card as I can still browse to it from file explorer
Has any one had the same problem
i run th eprocessor in std. mode not in turbo mode
I wonder if it make anything better by running in turbo mode. but I don't want to waste lot of power
can any body help plz.....

Hai,
Looks like no one had this problem before or I havn't explined properly :?:
I tried to look properly into the problem.My XDA IIi has problem accessing the SD card, while I am listing to the music on it.
While playing the music on SD card Windows media player halts. Player strucks because it can't access SD card. This was also proved, when I tried to browse to File Explorer as I can't access SD card.
Only way to get out of frozen state is to remove the SD card and wait for WM player error and insert it back, when I can browse to the SD card or can see and play music library.
If I don't do this whole XDA freeze not just music player or file explorer :!:
This problem is a really letting me down.I am infact thinking to put this on e-bay.
I have upgraded XDA from O2-UK website, still same problem. Removed battery to reformat still same problem. :roll:
Any body please plz........ help solving this problem

MP3 playback stuttering

Hey all,
I'm very happy with my Jamin but i've loaded up some MP3's to listen to at work and i'm noticing a 'stuttering' that is occuring during playback.
I thought it was my old SD card, so I bought a new fast (120x) one - no change though.
It is the SD card though, if I copy over an MP3 to device memory the stuttering doesn't occur.
It does the same thing with WMP10, TCPMP, Mortplayer - including using pre-buffer, but still does the same thing - stutters for about a second.
I can't find anyone having the same problem here, but there has been a problem posted on the imate site (no solution of course)
Anyone had this and found a work around? it's _really_ irritating.
Thanks,
Craig.

TomTom 5.21 hangs with 2GB SD Card

Hello all
I've done lots of searching on here and elsewhere and I've found lots of useful info but no definitive answer to this...
Until recently I was using TT5.21 with the original GB-only map on an unbranded 512MB SD card on my 3-year-old Himalaya (02 XDAII) with no problems. I then upgraded to the TT5 v6.60 Western Europe map and needed a new, larger SD card. Realising that my Himalaya is of advancing age, I avoided the latest high-speed cards and settled for a basic Kingston 2GB card.
Since then my TT has periodically frozen - often in one particular spot that I pass regularly, always whilst travelling in the same direction (edit: I pass the spot most days travelling both east and west but TT only freezes when going west). I have put this down to the well-documented issue of the Himalaya having insufficient oomph to power both the card reader when it is reading the TT map and the phone handshaking with a new cell.
I have uninstalled some little-used apps from storage memory and used the slider to allocate as much memory as possible to programs (original 02 WM2003 1.72 ROM). This has improved matters somewhat (I presume that the Himalaya does not have to read the map so often, thus reducing the chance of this activity coinciding with a cell change - am I right?) but I still get occasional freezes and only a soft reset and restarting TT sorts it out.
So far this has only happened on the open road and hasn't caused me too much trouble yet. However if I was in the city on an unfamiliar route it could get me into big trouble!
My question is - would a ROM upgrade sort this out? what about an updated driver for the card reader (is there such a thing or is it built into the ROM?)? am I using the wrong spec of SD card? or is it a hardware problem with the Himalaya that can never be fixed?
I have also read that an MMC card may solve the problem as it doesn't use as much power - any comments?
Thanks in advance

Sounds familiar..the only solution for me, was to obtain 2gb mmc card, and that solved my problems. I also had kingston 2gb, which was said to be compatible, but really wasn't.
Fixed!
Hi all
In the end I took Jarno's advice and switched to a 2GB MMC card. It's now been in use for several weeks with not a single freeze - thanks for the tip, Jarno666!
Of course, now that I've posted this the damned thing will of course freeze on the way home...
...the upside being that if it doesn't, I will know that it is really, really fixed.
Cheers

It didn't, so I guess it is.
