I guess you would hafta believe the speed ratings on the cards, hence I presume a 200x MMC would beat the pants of any other flash memory card under 200x, regardless of whether it was a MMC, SD, etc.

Yea I've read of poor Magician compatibility with any cards above 1GB. But what baffles and irritates me most is that dave106 has (seemingly) exactly the same bloody card working in his mate's i-mate JAM, yet my bloody thing will prompt me to format everytime - if I don't, it doesn't read, but if I do, it formats to RAW and doesn't read :? !
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] toomuchdogfur:
hmmmm... examining the 4GB card using Paragon Partition Manager gets some interesting results! Here's the card when properly formatted:

Partition 0, hard disk 2

Volume label:
File system: FAT32
Drive letter: G:
Serial number: 00000000

Sectors / boot: 32
Sectors / cluster: 8

Size (capacity): 3.8 GB (4.120.833.024 )
Used space: 7.7 MB ( 0%)
Free space: 3.8 GB (100%)

Physical sectors:

First: 63 (Cyl 0, Hd 1, Sec 1)
Last: 8048564 (Cyl 500, Hd 254, Sec 63)

HDD info: Cyl 501, Hd 255, Sec 63

...and here's the card after a stint in Magician's 'format':

Partition 0, hard disk 2

Volume label:
File system: Unformatted
Drive letter: *:
Serial number: 00000000

Sectors / boot: 0
Sectors / cluster: 0

Size (capacity): 3.8 GB (4.120.833.024 )
Used space: 2048 GB (53363%)
Free space: 3.8 GB (100%)

Physical sectors:

Last: 8048564 (Cyl 500, Hd 254, Sec 63)

HDD info: Cyl 501, Hd 255, Sec 63

2048GB used??? Even if I delete the partition on my SD card so it becomes RAW, the used stays put at 0 bytes. It seems as though the Magician gets confused as hell when formatting this card... wonder why?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dave106:
when i got the card, stuck it in the PC and it was already formatted. Put about 3.5gig of music on it and a few days later tried it out in my mates jam and it came up fine in the memory cpl and in file explorer.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] toomuchdogfur:
Still no luck... after numerous reflashes and ideas, i've given up on this card. Thanks for all the help anyway dave! My uncle has a XDA Mini as well so I'll try it in his later.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] thormdac:
howdy,

not too sure wether this revelation applies to your 4gb cards, but I found out many previously unrecognizable sd cards( upto two gigs) were readable once formatted with sktools.

- No, this is not a joke, try it and lets see whether it applies to 4 gig cards as well.

cheers

RE SKTools

Hi.. just tried SKTools.. I couldn't use its feature for SD Cards, it couldn't detect any SD CARD when i inserted my 4gig SD Card, but it could, when i inserted my 256MB...

But thanks,, i found it so useful for alot of my other pocket pc concerns..

HELP...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] toomuchdogfur:
Thanks for the tip thormdac, but no luck with it either - doesn't detect the memory card on my XDA Mini, and even if i slot it into my Dell x30 (which can read the four gigs perfectly fine) it cannot format the card such so that it can be read by the Magician. BLAH!

Anyway the seller has offered me a refund, which is either very kind or very suspicious depending on your mindset :P but I think I'll take up the offer - after I try it in my uncle's XDA Mini on Saturday. Losing ten bucks kinda sucks though :roll:.

Oh and btw I also ran the card through this handy formatting tool from Panasonic/Matsushita - the guys who enforce the SD 1.1 standard. It only works for cards up to 2GB, though even when I partitioned the 4GB card to fit under the limits it spat out an error halfway.

On another note: Another SanDisk eBay scam

Sandisk Ultra II 4GB cards don't exist! I was going to report him, but the sneaky bastard avoided mentioning 'SanDisk' at all... plus the 1-day listing makes me suspect that his account might have been hacked. I just hink it's sad there's these scammers around since there are inevitably people who are going to get sucked in by this :x
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] toomuchdogfur:
OMG!

It worked in my uncle's XDA! In frustration, I carefully dissected my Magician with the help of my uncle only to find... errr, nothing. HOWEVER when I partially put it back together (the first two layers of the top-back panel were still off) and switched it on to test, the card bloody worked! Not knowing what I had did, I put it back together only to have it not work again! @#$!

HMMM... again I pulled off the top two layers of the rear and it worked. Eventually we figured out that if we tightened the screws on the rear panel too much, then the Magician would refuse to read the card properly. A bloody manafacturing defect. Peeling off that fat red sticker on the SD card also helped, and eventually the Magician was reliably reading the SD card!

This might go some length in explaining why 4GB SD cards won't work in the Magician while others will - the thickness of SDs may be putting too much pressure on the contacts in the slot, which are already under some pressure by the panel on top of the SD slot. The only difference between my uncle's and my XDA Mini were the bootloader versions - v1.00 and v1.02 respectively - which seems to indicate that my uncle's is an earlier model - perhaps they don't make them like they used to? Note that my XDA Mini reads every card fine BUT the 4GB - I still cannot come up with an explanation for that, considering that this reading problem seems to be a mechanical problem.

I don't know if I'm right at all, but perhaps if anyone is having problems reading SD cards in their Mini, you might want to try opening the cover above your battery panel (its plastic, held by hinges, you should be able to figure how to open it if you're brave enough) and adjusting the tightness of the screws holding the panel underneath (you WILL need a TORX screwdriver... bloody small one too, 'TORX 06').

Thanks for all your help too! :)

4gb Sd card not working in Imate Jam

Thanks for the tip "toomuchdogfur" untightening the screws on the back of my T mobile MDA has now allowed me to use my new 4gb SD card ,before it would constantly suggest to format card .
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] toomuchdogfur:
Hmmm... so its not a single case after all. I wonder if there are a large number of Magicians with this fault?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] fishtmw:
4gb sd in magician

Hi guys , Ihave been driven mad by the imate jam ( magician ) not recognising memory cards, so I contacted imate support and got this reply:

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your E-mail. Regarding your query, please note that the SD card standard is limited to 2 GB and our devices are fully compliant to the standard. Cards with the capacity greater than 2 GB are not compliant to the standard and we cannot guarantee that they will function correctly. As to transferring speed limit, we recommend not using ultra speed SD cards with the speed more than 64x as they either will not work or may pose problems later. Also we would like to inform you that some SD cards need to be formatted using any PC / Laptop (supporting SD cards) before using with our devices.

Regards,

Technical Support - i-mate™

So I finally sent my jam back for repair under warranty as the backlight kept going off too and now it seems to be ok . I did wonder about the thickness of the memory cards because some do feel like a tight fit. I have also read on various forums that the jam cannot manage larger than 2gb size memory cards and lots of owners seem to complain of the same format/ reformat problems.I am looking at getting a 4gb card but don't know which one to try. Most uk available ones are 150x speed. Any I mate jam users with good advice on this topic? :!:

Update 18/10/06

Today I received a Kingmax 4gb 40x sd card from Dabs.com £54.48 and it works in my I-mate jam straight out of the box, no formatting or anything. Finally I can hardly believe it!!!!

http://www.dabs.com/ProductList.asp...y=All&PageMode=3&NavigationKey=0&SearchType=1

:)

ps. MMC plus cards don't work at all in my Imate jam ,although an old ancient 256mb mmc card works.Guess it really is all down to the speed. Keep it below 60x and its hunky dory!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] toomuchdogfur:
Well the dude who sold me my 4GB (which is now working fine with two slightly loosened panel screws + blu-tak to prevent slipping) also sells on eBay UK:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/150X-4GB-OEM-...6QQihZ017QQcategoryZ18871QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I can't sit here and say 'OK, this is guaranteed to work on your Magician' though, as you see above I've had an asses time getting it to work! :P But hey, he offers refunds if you ask nicely, and I'd think that with just a small tweak the card should work fine! (At a good price too)

If you have a bit more money, two so-far confirmed cards are 4GB Transcend 150x SD (Yellow) and AData 4GB 200x MMC (Green) <-- Double check this on the forums, I'm not precisely sure about the AData. They're rarer to find at a good price though.

On another note, does anyone find it weird that there are some Magicians that work with thick cards = more pressure, while mine works with loosened screws = less pressure???
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dave106:
well, quite a unusual fix for magicians then! actually my mates jam is a bit beaten up so maybe his case loosened it self anyway!

Hi there.

Device: GT-9505 jfltexx (jflte)

ROM: SlimKat build 4

Kernel: ROM stock kernel

The problem is that I can't activate the external sdcard from Settings/storage. When I press "Activate sdcard" the "Preparing sdcard" notification appears in the status bar but it never ends successfully, so extsdcard, sdcard1 and other else folders are empty.

The point is that external sdcard is accessible via recovery, I can restore and so on from it, but I don't find the way to make it readable into the ROM. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

P.S. Just flashed the ROM and Gapps after using the "Clean to install a new rom" feature in Philz Recovery. I haven't done anything else.

Am i the only one, and so, should i ask for a replacement?

What do you think about?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
Firstly safemode only allows core apps to run that came with the phone such as phone, calculator, calendar etc. that's why your apps wont open.

next for the massive data transfer I think you have a memory controller problem or a battery problem I suggest RMA or contact LG for repair

it also could be a rouge app that you install that is causing everything to crash.

Try transfer that large file on safe mode as it disables all apps except stock apps
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garfius:

here is the guide to unbrick your phone if you got it hard bricked (no fast boot mode)

Disclaimer: do this on your own risk. I am not responsible if you..blah blah blah well what worse you can do you have already bricked your phone so pull your pants together and try this

USE only XP 32 bit (win 7 32 bit may work) nothing else works...

this method is to revive the device via accessing the qcom soc in bare board mode so that you can upgrade the firmware on device

1) download the flash tools given in the forum

2) download drivers and image of firmware (16gb or 32 gb) depending on your phone version (1.8 gb rar)

3) install everything

4) plug your phone via usb cable

if device manager shows

"qulacom HS-USB qloader 9008" under com port your phone is hardbricked and ready to go

if it shows more than 1 device under com port (gionee NEMA /GIONEE digonostics)your device is soft bricked and needs to follow steps for soft bricked device do not follow this guide any further

else if nothing happens hold power button for a long time (so as to make sure your phone is switched off) and try plugging in your device

5) open GNQC_download.exe and select path to bp-image folder in frimware image

6) AP image path is automatically selected (parent folder of bp-image folder)

7) select name as WBW 8901 or GBW 8900A (depending upon english or chinese version of flash tool)

8) select mode as emergence mode (bp + ap)

9)while qloader 9008 device is showing in mini window click download

10) after successful download phone will reboot in storage mode

11) if antivirus prompts for permission allow it

12) let it continue to download the files onto your device

after completion you can click tools and select which img files to download (let it be default)

click ok to save and now you can upgrade the firmware...
