lvsw, you rock
@Ivsw,
Is this fix a global fix for mini sd, or is it just if you have a SDHC card? In other words, will it mess things up if you just have a standard 4gb card? My card is pretty reliable right now (with a couple of exceptions here and there) and I don't want to make things worse. Thanks.

For SDHC only
Hi,
has anyone tested this Fix on other Devices and was able to use SDHC?

Hm, I may have done it wrong, but it still disconnects the card when the Trinity goes to sleep.
I installed the driver (upon completion of the install it says it may not display properly because it is for a older system, or something like that.)
Then I opened Resco and formatted the card. I thought there was a difference in formatting schemes, but Resco did not offer an option for SDHC formatting, should there have been one? It seems like it's FAT32.
Am I lost and doing something wrong here?
Thanks!
There is no driver, or any other files, installed by this cab.
It contains registry settings for two keys, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\SDHC and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS
The values that are set are the exact same ones that are the defaults in the first DOPOD GPS enabled test rom, with just one exception being a cache size parameter that is changed from 0 to 4K; that's all.
So installing this cab will not cure the SDHC problems that people, myself included, are having with the DOPOD test rom.
Thanks its. Bummer:-( I guess I'll have to shelve the 4GB card until someone figures out a fix for this. It sucks:-((((
so for someone in the market for a 4GB card, would you people suggest miniSD or miniSDHC?
Based on my personal experience I definitely wouldn't recommend a SDHC one for the Trinity right now.
Of course the problems with directories appearing empty and the need to reset etc. could be fixed in a later release; but right now, no.
but this doesn't happen with 4GB miniSD also?
No; I have a 4GB FAT32 formatted miniSD from Moby Memory, and this one has been working for about a month without any problems.
Just be aware that it is quite slow compared to say a 2GB Sandisk Ultra.
I guess I am confused a bit here. My Transcend 4GB card arrived as SDHC, and had the disconnect problems in the Trinity (if the Trinity goes to sleep, upon its waking up, the card does not reconnect and it, and all applications and databases residing on it, appear to be missing, until it's taken out and placed back in, or until a restart.)
I formatted the card to FAT32, once in a Casio Exilim camera (USB 2, great to use as a fast card reader and once with Resco. Neither had any effect on the disconnect problem.
Is SDHC a different medium, or a formatting scheme, and if a different medium, why am I able to format it as FAT32, and have it still show as 4GB?
The 4GB card itself is working great in two cameras, so I don't think the problem is with it, but rather with the ability of the Trinity beta ROM to handle it. Hopefully HTC will fix it in the final ROM, or someone more knowledgeable than me will come up with a solution.
In the meantime, I've gone back to a 2GB card, which works just fine, but it is way too small to hold all the stuff I need it to hold.
SDHC has a different internal protocol, a different microcontroller AFAIK. No different format (format just follows the normal "mass storage" guidelines) or real hardware (in the sense of using different kind of transistors or something).
Why wouldn't it be formated as FAT32 and show as 4GB?

Yes, SDHC is different. It follows the SDA 2.0 standard and uses a different adressing method than SDA 1.0/1.1
Have look at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1083860&highlight=sdhc#post1083860
O.K., thanks. I think I get it, sort of.
Would it matter at all to stability, if the 4GB SDHC card is formatted FAT or FAT 32, or any other parameters are changed?
I guess I am puzzled at what might be the causing the post-sleep "disappearing files/card" problem. It seems like a software glitch, and I am wondering if a different formatting scheme might help?

If your card is corrupted, you may need to reformat it. That happened to me too. I'm going to try and format the card in a newer camera that supports SDHC.

It works! I went to the local camera shop and inserted my Transcend 4gb miniSD card and formatted it. Now my Trinity can read it again. I'm going to stick with my TopRam normal 4gb until this file dropping issue is solved.
I've formatted my card in camera abd this helps. But this card doesn't work for trinty anyway

Hi All,
I have had numerous problems with my 2GB card such as files and directories disappearing; files showing up on Windows when I plug my SD card in, but not on the PPC.
Anyone know the cause of these issues? Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? I don't think it's the new high speed format card either. It's a corsair brand.
Thanks

I have the same problem. its a known issue in the trinity. no solution yet.
waiting for a rom to fix that..
I have no problems with files and directories disappearing and I'm using sandisk 2GB mini sd. It seems like sandisk 2gb doesnt have any problems in TomTom either.
Also using a 2GB Sandisk and no problems whatsoever with any rom version.
No problem with my Sandisk 2G MiniSD too!
Sometimes my phone do not detect the card when it was inserted, but no problem when I insert again. It won't "mssing" or lost data as long as it was regonized.
I think it may related to the brand.
my 2gb minisd corsair card became unreadable yesterday and my phone asked to format it. ( after the phone format i only have 1Gb free space. does anyone knows how to format this card with my phone as a 2gb card, because it seems that my phone format it as a 1gb card?
My 2GB sandisk is working OK too. I think make sure the mini sd card is not a high speed one. Mine is x66

Which Brand do you have?
I have a Kingston 2GB card, and it works great, except Media Player seems to screw things up. There are about 1GB of songs on it, and when Media Player creates the library, it creates a hidden folder on the card called MSMETADATA. Inside the folder it creates some kind of MediaLibrary file, which appears to get corrupted. When it does, trying to play anything from the storage card's library results in a media player error. But deleting that folder and running an Update Library works fine. Selecting a song to play directly also works.
The first time this happened, I couldn't figure out what was going on, and a hard reset didn't fix it. Sticking the card into my PC's media card reader showed me the hidden folder, since I didn't have "Show All Files" turned on on the device. It's happened a couple of times since then. But now that I know what's going on, it's a quick fix. I think removing the card might be what messes it up.

Well, my Sandisk Ultra 2GB was fine until sometime in last couple of weeks.
Now it does not appear at all desipte multiple reinsertions. Need to but another adaptor before I can test in reader. But nothing changed on Trinity - now new apps installed, card never removed from slot - just vanished (not unrecognised - no prompts to format it - it just isn't there).
Any thoughts?

Hmmm, very strange, I'm sure you tried soft reset. If it works in card reader, I guess you can copy everyting off of it and reformat it, maybe that will help. All this card disappearing stuff with the Trinity is very strange, it never happended with my 4gb SD in my Prophet in over a year. Mind you, I haven't had any problems with my current 4gb mini SD either but it hasn't been that long yet.
Good luck.

OEM card from MobyMemory.com
standard sandisk 2gb seem very reliable, maybe its the high speed ones that cause problems, i ordered 2gb ultra2 & had major problems, ie not detecting & when did it wanted to format then giving me only 968mb,
my 2gb (standard) sandisk works flawlessly
Hi there. Bought 4GB Kingston Elite Pro SD card. Formatted FAT32, and 3.0GB of files on it. XDA exec will neither read, nor format it. (NB, works perfectly with identical card, but in 2GB capacity. Card is standard SD, not SDHC.
Any thoughts
Thanks
I have a 4gb card aswell for my spv 5000 and it won't read it. it only sees 1.71gb of it but won't format it
I recall that this has been dealt with on the Uni-Accessories area. Have a search there. 4Gb cards definitely work. Maybe it has to be FAT not FAT32?
Also wondering if you flashed with the SD card inserted? I think this will consider the SD card as part of the ROM and basically uses some of the card (although what for I don't know).
Mine is FAT32 (4GB Transcend 150x) works fine.
Have you tried the card in a card reader? What are the results there?

No, haven't flashed ROM for many months.
Card shows up fine when inserted into the reader slot on my Dell Inspiron 9400. I can open files on it, and copy files to it, but when put in XDA EXEC, always get 'Would you like to format this disc to make it readable?', and if you click yes, the XDA EXEC freezes.
Hello All
I too hav a Orange SPV m5000 and im using a PQI 4GB Sd card.
Its working fie here.
Formated: FAT32
I guess its a kompatibility thing?
@kennethsross... have you ever been able to read the card from the phone?
I know there are lots of problems with imitation cards on the market that aren't quite as reliable and fast as they're supposed to be. It's worth buying one of the more expensive ones just to avoid this problem (not saying this is the problem, just bit of info).
It does seem strange that it reads fine out of the unit though... maybe like SPVlover says, it could simply be a little compatibility issue (which would be annoying as hell!).
Just wondering what your OS version is? Maybe it's a slightly corrupt install? That's clutching at straws I know...
Might be worth checking the following settings in your registry...
hklm\drivers\sdcard\clientdrivers\class\mmc_class
hklm\drivers\sdcard\clientdrivers\class\SDMemory_c lass
The value in each should be set at 64 as standard unless you've tweaked it. Just wondering if those values are present at all? If not, it sounds like a corrupt driver install.

Looking more and more like this is a counterfeit card. Wondering if it is an SD-HC after all - Kingston claim they do not make 4GB standard SD cards.
I guess that would explain why my laptop can read it (SD-HC capable), but the XDA-EXEC can't.
Thanks again for all your advice on this. Maybe shouldn't have bought on eBay!!!
I have a hermes and there i was using a 2 gb sandisk micro sd card for some 5 month...and recently i brought a trinity and then hence im using that micro sd card with a minisd adapter in the trinity...and for last 1 week it worked flawlessly...last night all of a sudden the minisd card disappeared...no sign of storage card like that there has no card inserted...although in the about window it says expention slot in use..but in memory window no storage card installed!! and resco explorer or any other program cant detect the card...
firstly i thought my card is currupted so i inserted it (the micro sd) in my hermes and it worked there without any glitch...even then i formatted it in both fat16 and fat32 in the pc with a card reader but my trinity cant detect the card....
then i thought my mini sd adapter is broken...so i tried the memory card with the minisd adapter in the nokia 6280 and its working there without any probs....and then i tried the 64mb minisd card that came with nokia 6280 in the trinity and WTF my trinity can detect this card and also working with it..that means the card slot of the trinity is ok...
after all of this experiment then i flashed 3 types of rom in the trinity to see if it can detect the card... one is the lsvw edition with gps...(that i was using for a week before this thing happened) then a original htc rom and the dopod australia rom that my set had when i purched it...but all this three rom has same result...can detect 64 mb card (which is nokia oem minisd) but cant detect the 2gb sacdisk (wich is a micro sd to mini sd converted)...
now do anyone have similar kind of problem...or this is a new issue...i dont have any other card to try in this moment.... just ordered a oem 4gb minisd...will get it in next week...
and finally to let you know that my micro sd card is perfectlly working both in hermes and in nokia with the mini sd adapter and i also did a rough test on it with a card reader in computer with the mini sd converted inserted...and no sign of a probs there...
any comment or suggestion would be helpfull...
and a final thing as i brought it in plan from 3 australuia..and im still in that 14 day period...do you thing if i go to a 3 store and told them the setuation will they replace my handset..??i have the dopod australia rom installed so i dont hink they will be able to detect that i had flased other roms...??

Sorry but I disagree. I have been using a standard Sandisk 2GB miniSD for 4 months now without any problem.
i got told it will only support a maximum of a 1gb mini sd?????
Using a 2 GB SanDisk without problems.
I've been using a standard (non SDHC) 4 gb card for 3 months with no major problems. Never had the card 'disappear' completely - only minor file corruption like losing a picture or a ringtone (but it always comes back on soft reset). Only have those types of issues occasionally anyway (like maybe 1 a week - device should be soft reset that often anyway!) Overall, very pleased with the performance of this device.
G'day,
Perhaps you could try formatting the card in the trinity using an OEM tool. My card (1GB Sandisk miniSD) "disappeared" a few weeks ago after using it OK for a month. I used a card reader in my PC to back it up then formatted it using Spb Pocket Plus in the trinity. I was then able to restore the data from the PC using activesync. Worked OK for me and no problems since.
Good luck.
minisd card problem
Dear Customer,
Thanks for your email regarding your P3600.? The issue you describe is something we are aware of and are currently in the process of rectifying.? It seems to be linked in some way to the latest updates to Windows Mobile 5 and as such we have also enlisted Microsoft's help in solving this.? It seems that the device is accessing the memory while it is in an idle state.
We are currently still investigating the matter with the help of our engineers in Taiwan, but in the meantime, to workaround the problem you can set the device to turn itself off after 1 minute in the power options, then let the device turn itself off instead of pressing the power button.
Once we have fixed the problem, I have no doubt it will be released in some sort of ROM update in the near future.
Thank you for your patience in this matter.
Hong Kong's D810 now officially shipped with a 2G miniSD as a gift
Ok,
I also asked HTC europe supoport about the specifications and got an answer per eMail that the P3600 supports mini SD up to 2GB and does NOT support 'ultra' or SD HC-versions.
So perhaps give it a try with a regular (and unfortunately slower) 2GB SD??

A strange developement that i thought better to be share...firstly my 2 gb sandisk micro sd card (converted to mini sd with a adapter) still doesnt work after updating to latest dopod rom and to latest aku 3.3.1 htc rom...setting>memory still says not installed...but if i boot into bootloaded mode and use the trinming.nbh trick to flash my trinity with a nbh file..it does detect the sd card instantly and start flashing without any problem..so it also prove that the sd card slot is ok and it also detect the card in hardware level but it cant recognise in software part...its strange as the same card worked for the 1st 1 week after i brought the d810..!!!!
now does anyone one have more ideas??
and hopefully im getting my topram 4gb card in a days or 2 to test more furthur...in this mean time im really frustated for not able to use tomtom as no space to keep the maps....

Have you reformatted the card using a card reader with XP?
Now...I have maintained many times that my TopRam 4gb works just fine in my Trinity while many others have complained about problems with cards from many different manufacturers, both 2gb and 4gb cards. It may not be just a coincidence that mine has no problems. I always do the WM5 performance tweaks on my devices and yesterday I saw in the Hermes Wiki a reference to a known problem with the storage buffer settings. The fix that it recommends is one of the settings that I always change with my performance tweaks. It cetainly won't hurt, and for all of those people that are constantly complaining about their miniSD cards, maybe you should try it! The other performance tweaks might also help.

There are two issues to this. One is that SD Cards that are made in Taiwan seem to have more problems than Japan made cards. Kingston SD Cards are made in Japan, so, they are a relatively good bet. Sandisk and Crucial are made in Taiwan, so seems to have more problems. The second issue is the registry; the default values are just too low.

i put this values in HTC P3600.... still not regonized. i try whith 8196 but nothing apenned too.....
in anytime, if i put my miniSD in the QTEK 9100, he work's whith no problem....
i already read all this tread, but i can't find the solution to this problem.... maybe i search badly, but can anyone indicate me , if exist, the rigth method to format/resolve this problem.... please help....
hi to all again...
when i'm to format my miniSD in my PC, i can chose the cluster size.... in the tip above, it was referring to change two value to 8196.... but in my PC the cluster size is 8192..... i try whith both value, but still can't get my miniSD recognized....

After reading this perhaps a 1GB would've been a safer bet... Still, worth a try. Would prefer to have the complete EU maps on one card.

anyone used this?
Is it really necessary?
I had a 4Gb card from Moby Memory- it randomly corrupted data. I couldn't work out if it was the OS, the handset or the card causing problems, but assumed it was the card. They refunded me no problems.
I now have a 1Gb Crucial card- no problems so far. (fingers crossed).
The Trinity does seem to be a bit fussy with spotting cards when you insert them (well mine does!)

I Need
SD/SDHC Memory Card Unlocker.
I really need a 4GB or more sd card.
I have searched and searched for a solution but there seems to be no clear answer. It would seem that some Trinity users are able to use 4gb and 8gb micro cards with adaptors, but others end up with problems after soft resets, such as the device no longer seeing the sd card, or files becoming corrupted.
SO.... I ask you all:
- Can the Trinity reliably use a 4gb micro card with adaptor?
- Is there a fix or download that actually works to achieve the above?
- If not, is there such a thing as a 4GB mini sd card (not sdhc or micro)?
I have tried using a 4gb micro card with adaptor and after soft resetting my Trinity either fails to see it or the sd card became corrupted. I have read many similar stories and experiences. However, My Tomtom maps are nearly 2gb, so I need a 4gb card at least!!!
I see other xda members using 4gb and 8 gb cards. Please, HOW are they achieving this?
Thanks,
Mattster.
hi Mattster,
best way I can hopefully help to answer your questions is:
1. I have used cheap Sandisk 4 gig micro sd's with adaptor in a few Trinity's with no problems at all.
2. there are 4 gig min Sd's out there - see ebay item 260468007473
3. disregarding that cards usually come ready formatted, I always format myself before use anyway.
I have used the Panasonic Formatter (ver 2.0.03) for some time and it works for me.

Hi Carkev.
Thanks for the advice.
I have looked at the 4GB mini sd. It's from Hong Kong and he has sold "4" to date, so I may wait a little before getting one.
Some Trinity's seem to accept 4GB micro's with adaptor, some don't. The search for the reason or solution has tired me out, so I'm sticking with my 2GB for now. I only needed it for my European Tomtom maps (2GB!) so I'll just stick with UK and Ireland.
Thanks for your reply,
Mattster.

Did you get a solution? If yes, please let me know.
My HD2 either doesn't discover the storage card, or loses it after just a few moments.
I have tried two different cards (the 2GB supplied and my 8GB microSDHC).
Has anyone had a similar problem?
Any ideas?
Or is my phone defective.... Help!
^2 options
either storage card is defective or phone is defective...
seems like you did a cross change...
try another storage card on HD2 and try your HD2 storage card on another phone.
then you know which one causes this.
Usually 95% of the cases its the storage card thats defective
My 8Gb card works in my Xperia X1 - the card is a Sandisk Micro SD HC. Whereas the card supplied is a 2Gb Sandisk Micro SD.
Not sure what HC is.
I assume the HD2 can take a 8Gb card - but unsure about the difference in the cards.

HC = High Capacity IIRC
The HD2 can take an 8gb card.
The cards don't seem to be faulty (that is assuming that you've tested the 2gb also).
Try a reset/hard boot. I have had this issue before with other phones and that sometimes fixes
indeed SD stands for Secure Digital and HC for High Capacity...
the next generation will be SDXC (with eXtended capacity)...but thats coming 2010 or 2011..
anyway seems like your phone has an issue. Because HTC devices of the last few years are all capable of SDHC memory cards and they support either 16 or 32 GB.
I would make use of my warranty. But before try a hard reset.
Thank you all for the information.
The HD2 doesn't like that 8GB SDHC Card. When in the memory section of the phone, it recognises it, displays it used/free space, then shortly afterwards states no card is installed!
A hard reset, if no luck, I'll return it... fingers crossed.
Crap!
Hard reset didn't work! Why do I always get the duff unit!
I find it strange that it detects the card for a while then loses it...
Sending it back tomorrow for exhange....
thats the only reason I'm not such a big fan of online orders...in warranty cases everything takes a little longer.
but don't be discouraged...worse things happen in life. keep your head up
At least in the UK you are covered by Distance Selling Regulations. Hope you get it sorted soon mate!
Did you try to format your SD card?
I faced a similar situation with Diamond 2 where the SD was faulty until I did a quick format Fat32 and it worked perfectly
faced this issue in my touch hd AND x1. try formatting the card - helped me twice.
Did you install SD tune up? I also had the same problem. I uninstalled SD tune up and reset and storage card was found again. also I installed s2u2 but believe it was the former app that caused the problem.
Ah-haaaaaaaaaaa!
Formating to FAT32 has fixed the problem - thank you all for you help and suggestions.
I also must say thanks to HTC tech guru's too who experimented with various memory cards too.
Now to start a new thread on Bluetooth - Car Kit...

I had the same problem with my 16 Gig card. I made a backup of the card on my pc, formatted it and inserted in my HD2 and from that moment I had no problem anymore
