[Palm Treo 750] bnycastro:
I just fried my Kingston 2Gb miniSD card this morning whilst I was on my way to the airport! Grrr! I'm out of the country ATM and have no way of returning the card. I tried inserting it into my notebook's card reader with no luck. I tried reformatting it with my DSC and I get a memory card error. I got the card yesterday and had just finished re-installing my apps and syncing my music... :mad: I've reverted back to my 128 miniSD. What is the highest capacity card that works well with the 750v??? I love the phone but if it'll fry my memory cards and the data within them I may have to sell it... argh I was hoping to keep the 750v and sell my TyTN and get a Excalibur but I guess the TyTN will have to stay for a bit longer until I get this memory card problem sorted or sell my 750v.
[Palm Treo 750] georgedorn:
So that must be a firmware issue. What' s your firmware version? I have 1.12 and had the same problems as you with the 2GB Sandisk. After changing the card to a Palm branded 2GB card I never had these issues again. I would ask your provider if there is a newer firmware available.
[Palm Treo 750] Razor1973:
1GB Kingston card -- Same exact problem. As soon as (and every time) the device comes out of standby (whether it got there by itself or me locking it manually), I hear Alarm 1 and the storage card is gone.

I tried formatting the card directly on the phone (using Pocket Mechanic, FAT32) and still get the same condition.

I also tried this on another Treo 750 with the same results.

From reading this thread, I see this is a pretty common problem, which doesn't seem to be either device nor card specific. Firmware, maybe? I am running

Software Version: TREO750-1.13-CNG

Hardware Version: A

Firmware Version: 1.17.20.00

How about everybody else? Please specify whether you get the problem too or not.

Thanks.
[Palm Treo 750] fredkf:
georgedorn, I'm running firmware 1.12 also (firmware: 1.12.0a.00; software: TREO750-1.12-VFU; hardware: A). I haven't heard or read anywhere about new firmware being available in the UK so I don't think any updates are out yet.

Razor1973 - it seems to me that you're running a slightly different firmware (for Cingular instead of UK Vodafone) - but are suffering from the same problem.

What we know so far

The problem affects only some people

The problem occurs with 2GB as well as smaller cards

The problem occurs with Palm branded cards as well as cards from other manufacturers.

The problem occurs on 1.12 (VFU) and 1.17 (CNG) firmware.

Reformatting the card doesn't solve the problem

I'm still in contact with Palm Support (don't have as much time as I'd like to spend on this in the evenings so it's a bit of a slow process); the latest suggestion is to try a hard reset [which I know won't solve anything, but hey], before the CA will escalate to his manager. I'll keep you posted on any results.
[Palm Treo 750] Razor1973:
fredkf, please keep us posted on what Palm tells you.

By the way, I just switched to my 512MB SanDisk card and no problems so far. I know it's only been one day, but when I had my Kingston, the problem could be reproduced by locking the phone manually without fail.
[Palm Treo 750] luminus:
Did anyone tryed to format the SD card into FAT16 instead of FAT32. Maybe it could solve the problem. On many other devices FAT16 could solve a lot of issues about SD card or memory cards in general.
[Palm Treo 750] mikechadwick:
i formatted a 2gb card yesterday using total commander - this morning the card was still showing as connected even though the phone had been in sleep mode.

maybe.........

day 2 - still there
[Palm Treo 750] bnycastro:
hi luminus do you have a link to the article/discussion about FAT16 vs FAT32, would like to read up more on this. Thanks in advance. By the way I exchange my 2Gb Kingston miniSD with a Transcend 2Gb card nothing fishy yet but it's still on my 2nd day with the card. Fingers and Toes are crossed :D

[Palm Treo 750] CRP:
I can confirm that Transcend 2GB cards work. I used to have a no-name card bought on EBay which gave me problems (see my previous posts). I then got myself a Transcend card (again on ebay for less than the noname card!!) and this one works beautifully!
[Palm Treo 750] luminus:
I don't know the links anymore where they talked about issues with SD cards and how they could solve the problems.

I will inform and post links if i can find some links to it.
[Palm Treo 750] bnycastro:
it's cool... so far the Transcend card I got is doing ok. I formatted it in XP @ FAT32
[Palm Treo 750] miloszz:
Are Transcend cards doing well?

I have 2GB Kingston and it's pi$$ing me off!

Now I'm thinking about buying Transcend 2GB 80X mini Secure Digital Card. Is it good idea?

Btw, I have Treo like bnycastro.
[Palm Treo 750] GURUGTS:
2GB Kingston - Loses Data- Possible Workaround, read here!

I have a 2GB Kingston MiniSD and the Treo will not read it every once in a while. I have to pull the card out and insert it into a memory card reader, copy the files off the card to a folder, format the card then copy the files back and put it back into the treo. There is a utility called WM5storage that allows you to turn your device into a memory card, just plug in the Treo via USB and XP will think it's a memcard. When it's in Memcard mode, the treo can't see the storage card but the PC will see it as a folder. I hope this toggle will work. I'll know shortly if this can be a workaround. Hopefully there will be a firmware update to fix this issue or I'll have to contact Kingston for them to make their card more compatible.
[Palm Treo 750] miloszz:
I know these feelings. I have to format my card about two times a week. More often I'm loosing all my data or part of it. It's pretty annoying - I have to keep directory with backup of a card on my pc. But when I'm losing data being out... Grrhhhhh!!

That's why I'm asking about Transcend cards. I think we won't get update soon :(
[Palm Treo 750] GURUGTS:
Go Fat 16

Palm assumes that their media card will be installed in the Treo and possibly never formatted from an outside source. The best thing to do is find out how the Palm MiniSD card is formatted so we can then format the after market cards the same way. My Kingston 2GB card kept getting undetected by my TREO until I formatted it as FAT. Pop it into a memory card reader and right click then format as FAT and not FAT32. The difference is that FAT32 can hold more data per cluster vs FAT16 but since a memory card is Linear you may still be able to get all the memory available on the card. I didn't see a noticeable loss of space when I formatted FAT16 (FAT). When it was in FAT32 mode I would hear the eject sound play after the Treo sat for a while, it hasn't done it yet after the FAT format.
[Palm Treo 750] miloszz:
Damn! It looks that it works. I'm testing at the moment. I also wanted to format in FAT16, but i ws waiting for dataloss ;) I didn't want to format almost full card and restoring it.
[Palm Treo 750] miloszz:
Maybe it's better, but still card is sometimes "unattached" after using :(
[Palm Treo 750] GURUGTS:
Almost 100%

Well I think the FAT16 format did the trick. The Treo will sometimes lose the card but the card will still be recognized once it's re inserted. I haven't had the card lose detection unless I was doing a lot of movement and having the thing bounce around in my pockets. I'm sure it's in the best working order and is finally usable without the fear of data loss like before.
[Palm Treo 750] miloszz:
FAT16 isn't cure for me :( Tomorrow I'm buying Transcend card...
[Palm Treo 750] miloszz:
I've bought Trascend 2GB. Works like a charm so far :D
[Palm Treo 750] GURUGTS:
Found this on Palm...Must Read!!!

Link below or you can read it here:

http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=96,E=0000000000604557526,K=20,Sxi=9,Case=Obj(10716)

Looks like PALM formats their card in FAT12. I'm looking for a way to do it. If anyone finds out sooner please let us know.

File systems used by SD and MMC expansion cards

Solution ID : 10716

Secure Digital cards (SD) use a different file system than MultiMediaCard (MMC) cards. SD cards use FAT12. MMC cards use FAT16.

In general, SD cards will appear to have more free space than MMC cards with the same raw capacity. This is because the SD specification requires a particular formatting method, which contrasts with what Microsoft (originator of the FAT file system) suggests the formats should be. MMC, on the other hand, generally follows the suggested Microsoft formatting structures, which tend to use more space. Data card devices differentiate between the two types of cards, and format them according to their specifications mandate.

The cluster size of each formatting technique is different. Cluster size is the smallest amount of space that can ever be allocated. Thus, the cluster size determines how efficiently the space available can be used. SD uses a larger cluster size (16 kilobytes for most cards) while MMC tends to use smaller cluster sizes (1 or 2 kilobytes). If you have a number of small files, they will occupy more space on an SD card.

For example, if you had an 18KB file for on an SD card with 16KB clusters, it would take two clusters for a total of 32KB. On the other hand, these same files stored on an MMC card with 2KB clusters would take up only 18KB. In this example, the SD cards uses an additional 40 percent of memory to store the same file.

You can format card into FAT12 using Pocket Mechanic on your Treo. Or using partition manager on pc/reader.

I'm having too many things on my card (Transcend) and I'm feeling sick, so I won't try it with my kingston now.

But if it works, I got $30 in the back :/

BTW,

my Transcend is FAT16 (as it was in the box - I haven't formated it).
[Palm Treo 750] Parallax20:
I bought a cheapo card from Currys which was made by Dane-Elec that also exhibits this disconnection problem (They listed item as Unbranded on their website). I've searched the net for a solution to the disappearing SD card and so far there doesn't appear to be a definitive fix for it. So I've decided to return the Dane-Elec card and purchase the Transcend one instead based on members opinions. They worked out to be the same price at the end of the day.

But one thing I should have done before purchasing any sd card was to check compatibility from the manufacturers website. Both the Sandisk and Transcend list the Treo 750 as compatible devices, whist Dane-Elec didn't even support Treo handsets in their device list. A lesson to be learnt for future buying is always check compatibilty beforehand. I normally don't check because I just assume it should just work base on industry standards, unfortunately not every manufacturer follows standards.

My transcend card should arrive in a couple of days time, so fingers cross it works without problems as confirmed by other members.

Cheers guys,

Parallax.
[Palm Treo 750] flashgordonv:
Not True

Nah, Pocket Mechanic says it supports FAT12 but it will NOT do it. I tried with two different cards and it defaults to FAT32. I did some research on the net and apparently FAT12 was the format used on floppy disks and only supports a 16 Mb disk, so it woudl be a fat lot of good on a 2GB memory card I suspect........
[Palm Treo 750] miloszz:
Yea', FAT16 is for disks up to 2GB, so FAT12....

Upgrading to WM6 has solved this issue for me. I can finally just open up my media player instead of taking the card out and putting it back in each time.
[Palm Treo 750] calgary_hero:
Same for me, I have a generic 2GB miniSD that simply didn't work with wm5, then after the upgrade it worked perfect.

** I did a reformat to fat32 prior to upgrading
[Palm Treo 750] GaryN5PHT:
problem here too

Hi,

Ok, I posted something like this on another forum and then realized this forum had lots of input on the subject. Anything definitive from Treo? Sounds like most are saying that a 1 gig card will solve the issue?

If that is true I can live with 1 gig but I have about 200 meg on my 2 gig card. I have all important programs I installed on a folder on my desktop pc. However, if I go to a 1 gig card is is easy to just copy and past everything on my 2 gig card onto my 1 gig card? Sorry, but I am new to MW5 and all this stuff. My step by step: (correct?)

1- sync with pc

2- find my storage card and copy all

3- paste onto my pc (desktop or whatever)

4- disconnect Treo 750 from PC

5- replace 2 gig card with 1 gig card

6- sync again

7- copy/paste from pc destop to new card

Or, do I just have to reinstall the programs again?

Also, if WM6 cures this problem that would be good too. Other than this being a nuisance is there any problem just doing a soft re-set when this happens? ((I had assembled a group for a picture the other day and it was the first time it happened and I had the camera pics to store on the storage card and got the not enough memory error and by the time I figured out the problem some of the people had left!!)) Oh well, a learning curve...

Thanks for any help with the above questions.

Gary
[Palm Treo 750] GaryN5PHT:

Also, I forgot to mention that I am currently using a microSD with the miniadapter. Would that add anything to the problem? I may go ahead and try the 1gig but like to hear from some others.

Thanks again,

Fat 32

Here is my luck break. I have WM5 AT&T. Corrupt publisher file screwed everything up. Deleted every last file on PC related to activesync. Deleted eveything on SD with card reader. Formatted to Fat32. No mail attachments set to go to SD card. No disappearing card. I don't have to open the door 64 times a day. Keeping my fingers crossed. Not once since the reset. I would go on PC and use the search to find any files with "activesync" associated

solves all problems? :confused:

Hi,

I got CM 11S flashed on my Chinese OPO, boot loader unlocked and rooted.

But the cam results are terrible.

1. Front camera though 5MP has better results.

2. Main camera, in Auto mode wit Flash set at auto, doesn't flash in darkness, if for some reason it does the pic results are so dull, creamy unsharp, despite that its a 13MP.

3. Flash sensor issues?

4. I got great results with Color OS initially......... and later when previously flashed CM 11 S over Color, they weren't that bad either..........may be by chance the the Color cam got ported over CM 11S?

5. So disappointed plan on going back to Color.

Any suggestions, recommendations,

Thanks.

For the camera, I don't know what to tell you, but it sees like you just want to modify the camera shutter and exposure settings to your preference. Or you can go into the themes/app section and reflash the stock camera.

It's fundamentally a camera sensor issue.

Hello,

I currently own a LG Optimus 4X HD and I really do not really like the battery life, which is quite bad for me (Around 2h SOT, 3 if I'm lucky). I'm on the market for a new phone and I've been looking at the S5, HTC One M8 and Note 3.

I already looked at the main battery life thread, but what should I expect with medium usage throughout the day and little to no social app use and also with stock firmware, only root, Greenify and disabling the bloatware?

How do you think this phone compares with the other two listed? I am leaning towards this phone mainly because of the IP67 protection it offers.

I would be buying this phone in Europe.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Seems a rather pointless exercise, given that you've read the battery use thread. Medium usage is a vague description. Battery life is highly dependent on what apps you use as well as how long they are used. And it only takes one or two bad apps e.g. Tunein or Skype to put a big dent in your battery life.

One person will tell you that his medium usage takes him 14 hours. And another will say that medium use sees the battery run out in 8 hours. To answer your question something like 10 - 11 hours total, including 6 - 8 hours of screen time. But the error margin on any such guess..

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiinkotheone:
Thanks. Yes I realize that it's hard to predict the battery life, but that would surely last me long enough. Also, is Skype really a battery hog? I never heard about that one.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Then you don't read the forum much as there have been a lot of threads about Skype. Presumably because Skype is constantly polling the camera and connection status. The problems may or may not have been resolved in recent updates, but a lot of people have had Skype put a big dent in their batteries recently.
