[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Are you using either 64bit version of Vista or Windows7? if so I know I had to completely uninstall and then fully re-install WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center) to make my phone sync with my PC again

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoz350:
Yep. Same thing here. Switched to Windows 7 x64 and had to re-do everything. Outlook even erased all of my contacts on the first sync so back them up first! Once I restored them, all is well.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mbaseball3:
I'm actually still using windows xp. by the time I got around to wanting to try out windows 7 microsoft shut down the download. no biggie though.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoz350:
Its open now until June.;)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] akatcl:
go to start->settings-> connections-> "USB to PC" -> then check off "activesync" and "ask me first..." Even if they are correctly checked, check something else off, soft reset, then put them back as they are supposed to be.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mbaseball3:
ok my activesync issue is no longer an issue. thanks for all the advice folks. something so simple cured it =D I just uninstalled then installed activesync (yes newest version from ms) and it worked. ta-da! shoulda been something done first but didn't think about it. doh!!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] akatcl:
Glad your activesync issue cleared up.

Can you tell me how you got data working again? It took some time on the phone with verizon before they could get my newly flashed 6900 activated then I had to download a prl file myself to get rid of the roaming indicator. But I still don't have data working.

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA General] Boobuntu:

[P3400 ROM Development] saurabh88:
dont laugh if u feel that this is stupid question but is it possible that after upgrading rom:cool: to 6.1 or 6.5 our gene turn from qvga to vga?????????
[P3400 ROM Development] ramersonw:
Well, in a simple word: impossible.

PS. not really:p. You can use nyditot virtual display to make this hapen, but I didn't see any rom with this incorporated.
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Technically, if I am not wrong, it should not be possible, since Gene comes with a resolution of 240x320 (which is a hardware limitation, the screen can display 240 pixels by 320 pixels). Whereas VGA is 640 x 480 (or 480 x 640) pixels, so I do not think its possible to somehow make it possible to display at that resolution. But then, I could be wrong :D.

BTW, If we use a virtualisation software (as mentioned by ramersonw), I believe it will slow down the device :confused:.
[P3400 ROM Development] saurabh88:
Thanks for reply
[P3400 ROM Development] Xumit:
I used it for a couple of days and its a crap.

Font goes too small to view, and it lags all the time.Not of much use.
[Touch HD General] gurluver:
Hi, since I upgraded my SPL to 1.54/1.56, i've tried installing both Dutty WM6.1 v2.9 and Mira WM6.5 v8.1 but neither of them seems to like my storage card, i have to do soft reset for it to recognise the card, but after a while the card will disappear again...

any1 got the same problem or know how to fix it please?

Thanks
[Touch HD General] Digital Outcast:
I've seen one other user with the same issue. What type / brand of SD card are you using? Trying to narrow down what is causing this... he had the same issue with same rom(s).
[Touch HD General] gurluver:
its the SanDisk 8GB SDHC one - one that came by default with Orange UK contract.

Btw, I did upgrade to the offcial 1.54/56 ROM before upgrading to the 2 ROMs above.
[Touch HD General] tnyynt:
Maybe it's got to do with the power management policies the Chef applied. Try to use schaps' Advanced Config 3.3 to disable SD Card Power Management and see if it helps.

Also, some caches and DMA could be the culprits but first let's see about power management.
[Touch HD General] gurluver:
The Power Management is disabled.

Also, 1 thing I particularly noticed is when I open Windows Media player, attempt to update my library on storage card, it can find all my music files, but when it attempt to add the music to the library, it doesnt. and then the sd card disappear from File Explorer, WMP libary option.
[Touch HD General] xmsnx:
Backup your sd card to your PC, and reformat it. Had the same problem, fixed with a format :)
[Touch HD General] incobra:
I have the same SanDisk8GB SDHC one - default card which came with the phone. Same thing happned. It has become very slow to access, and practically useless, the phone cannot detect the card. If put into the computer with the adapter then also it is the same computer cannot read it or sometimes takes too long, cannot format. this happened after the 1.54/56 rom.
[Touch HD General] foulke:
Happened to me also with some custom ROM.

I used my warranty to exchange the SD card.

My advice : backup your SD card when you can, from time to time.
[Touch HD General] ryahia:
Same Thing

Same thing happenned to my card. Same default card that came with the phone. But I have SPL 1.14 which I have had for a while now. I just flashed to a Miri ROM and it started happenning. I will try reformatting to see if it helps.
[Touch HD General] 2unique:
did you remove the sd-card when you flashed?
[Touch HD General] Friend of Bill W.:
I am "others" :( too.

I tried every hint I could find on the forum including disabeling the SD card power management and setting the PnP values higher.

Nothing works (and I have a Apacer 8GB card)

For me it narrowed down to:

1) Hardware faulty or

2) Hardware cannot "cope" with 8GB .

I've called HTC in the US - which where very friendly brw - and the lady said that most handsets are only guaranteed / tested to work with 4GB cards, Although there are other handsets in other countries who where sold with an 8GB card as a bundle.

Today I called HTC "support" centre in "New Zealand" and the phillipin/indian/nepalese customer service lady told me that my handset had been parallel imported and therefore needs to be send back to the NETHERLANDS for a diagnosis / repair! :eek:

I told her that if she would'nt give the number of their authorised repair centre in NZ I might have to think to contact Ministry for consumer law. So I got the number and I will go there now, cheking what the story is..will keep you updated.
[Touch HD General] Friend of Bill W.:
EDIT

: gurluver I think you're right! I downgraded my device now back to spl 1.14 and no problems anymore. As I am discussing this with crackwhore it seems that

1) some countries's touch hd might have a different hardware

2) however even though I have downgraded to official HTC ROM spl 1.14

(and the card is working fine then)

as soon as I upgrade to offical and / or other spl 1.56 the problem appears again.

Conclusion: I have to go and (probaley argue) with HTC and see if they are willing to either fix it or send me a new device.

Will keep you posted
[Touch HD General] gurluver:
so to sum up, i guess i'll have to try these when i have sometime, and see what happens after each step, and only go to next step if previous step works.

- restore to Orange UK ROM SPL 1.14

- upgrade to Official WWE SPL 1.54/56

- Try another 1.54/56 ROM.

- Format the card

- Install SD tune up

I'll report back here my result.
[Touch HD General] ryahia:
update...

i have flashed my device several times, at least 15 times,.always using USB activesync, never thru the stotage card. I have v1.14 and I have never had a problem. After rebooting the phone a couple of times, I got my card to reappear today long enough to backup my stuff. Then I formatted the card, put it back in, loaded it up with the same files, and I havent had another problem, though its only been about 8 hours.
[Touch HD General] Friend of Bill W.:
restore to orange UK ROM spl 1.14..and you will see that you will be sweet. After I upgraded to official SPL 1.54/56 it didnt work again..and I tried several versions (NDL; came with the phone , EUR & WWE)

I just think that its not right to be "stuck" with spl 1.14 in order to use or card...
[Touch HD General] Dizzle:
SD Card Problem

I had this problem last night. Basically my card just disappeared from the file explorer. Could not connect it to disk drive mode or anything. Took the card out, re-inserted and the card would appear for a few seconds and then go again. Soft re-setted and it would appear for a bit then disappear.

Done a hard reset and the card still would only appear for a while until I tried to access it then it would disappear.

I eventually narrowed my problem down to something I had installed on the card which was MaxTTM. After deleting this folder from my card, it remained visible. Been working fine ever since. I didn’t have to delete my music or video files which make up around 6-7gb of my card. From now on I think I’ll install my software on the phone as opposed to memory card. My card is a 16gb Sandisk.
[Touch HD General] foulke:
When the problem happened to me, first, only some directories had disapeared. Or at leat I couldn't access to them.

Even with a µSd card reader on the PC.

I formated it with the storage tool, on the HD, because the PC would'nt see it.

A week later, I couldn't access to the card anymore. Neither on the HD, nor on the PC.

I concluded that the card was destroyed.

Hopefully it was still under warranty.

I don't blame the cooked ROM I was using. Maybe the SDtuneup with some parameters I entered with Advanced config tool did the mess.

Like power management.

My first SD corruption occured when the card was almost full, and I was downloding a file with Opera. In the meantime I plugged in my PC in mass storage mode. I recognize my error. But instead of simply having a file system corruption, why did it destroyed the card ?

Because after then, the card access was longer. Perhaps the system was trying to recover some bad sectors ? I'm working in phone industry, and we do a lot of tests on these kind of use cases. So I can't beleive HTC hardware isn't that robust.

In my case, it ended with a hardware destruction. Even on other devices (with other OS/ ROM) it also failed reading.

Bad luck with a weak µSD card ?
[Touch HD General] gurluver:
Card done these step - works fine on 1.14, breaks on Official WWE 1.54/56.

I guess any of us who have this problem should probably email HTC so they release a fix for this.
[Touch HD General] Friend of Bill W.:
I've sent my device in for diagnosis / repair / swap . I will update you what's happened. Good Idea with writing to HTC though
[Touch HD General] Perttir:
I had also an old Sandisk 6 GB card and copied to it the content from 8 GB card (which came with HD). That solved my (SD disappering) problem !
[Touch HD General] tsalta:
I had befor the same problem after i flash to 6.5 ROM

So for everyone who have the same problem and the SD card disapear sometimes or when you try to listen music she desapear or anything like this i can tell you the desigion!!!

Just restart your HTC

without to do anything after this just sync your Blackstone with the date cable and FORMAT the SD CARD trought your PC

You will lose everything in your storage CARD but befor to do this you can backup the files you want to save!

So after the FORMATING the card ALL IS fine and you will not have anymore this problem with the Disapearing of the SD card

Im using the stock one 8gb too!

So this is the desigion:)

ENJOY
[Touch HD General] eAzYE666:
this worked for me!

Hey guys,

Wow, was I feeling less terrible to read I was not the only one with the SD card mystery! I have being flashing for some time now and currently running on latest Energy Genesis ROM. Like all of you after some time (sorry I don't know exactly how long), I got the same SD card troubles as the rest of you.

First it looked to be solved after reset, but the time you could access your card was getting shorter and shorter. Not having the proper cardreader at the moment I started to try some stuff I read in this thread, but no luck. Also did a reflash without card... no luck.

So I tried and tried until I found the folder which was causing my troubles, it was Program Files on the SD (with some old installed program files). I tried to open it....frozen...card disappears

soft reset....try to delete it....frozen...card disappears again.

So again soft reset.

So out of the blue I try to RENAME it (I accidentally tapped it lol!)

Did a reset and now.....

EUREKA I could at least access the folder by PC connection without loosing the card as long as I do not 'touch' the renamed Program Files folder. So now I have made a backup of the SD, I hope this also help you get your data back.

After backup, now you can safely format your SD and it should be solved.

Big question remains for how long it will be okay now.

Greetingz!
[Touch HD General] Dennis-TW:
You probably just got some corrupted files in that Program Files folder and/or corrupted file structure.

Using a card reader and fully formatting the SD card should be the solution. (use SDFormatter 2.0)

For me, everything seems lost right now since there is no sign of the SD card after all...however in all other devices working well, but not in the HD.....
[Touch HD General] eAzYE666:
and if you reenter it while running Explorer, does it come back for at least 3 seconds after a refresh?
[Touch HD General] tulip79:
need help

Hi!

I have a strange problem with my new Touch Pro 2. It happens in the following situation:

1.) Playing music via the Touch Flo Music Tab with headphones inserted.

2.) While the music is still playing I switch off the display via the ON/OFF button.

3.) Problem: The music continues for 5-45 seconds, then it stops shortly, maybe it comes again for a few seconds, then it finally stops.

4.) When I switch on the display again, the SD card is gone. I cannot further play the song and in the settings menue I see the message "the sd card is not installed".

5.) Restarting the device brings back the SD card. (Problem can be reproduced by the steps 1-3.)

No further complaints with the SD card. Hardreset did not help. It does not happen when I use the Windows Media Player in the above setting. If I do not use the headphones, then this problem does not happen. With the TP2 the music does not continue via speakers, when you switch off the display, but when I switch on the display again, the card is still there in this scenario. Problem only occurrs with headphones inserted. So far I found no other TP2 user sharing the same problem :-(
[Touch HD General] Dennis-TW:
Did you already try another music player instead of Windows Media Player?

[Touch HD General] ehsanij:
for me the problem is that i can not format my Card by any means, it shows files and forders and i have made a backup

has somebody encountered/solved this problem; how?
[Touch HD General] Dennis-TW:
In which way did you try to format the card? Did you also try to format it in a digital camera in case it didn't work on PC? Considered the possibility that the card may be really damaged and thus subjected to be replaced? Just a few thoughts of mine.

As for my case, the problems after all got so bad that I had to send my HD to repair, where they replaced the whole mainboard and now everything is fine again. :)
[Touch HD General] chatter_tk:
Just wonder how come after I formatted my SD Card, it becomes StorageCard2 instead of the original StorageCard?
[Touch HD General] ehsanij:
thanks for reply actually my 8GB SD card is working but my 16gb has got problem, actually this is the second time it has got problem the first time I format it with the camera but this time it is deferent scenario, no camera no pda no card reader, no partition manager or windows disk manager can format or fix it

it is strange my pda can read it for a while i could get my data, but it is not work normally i am sure there should be a way to bring it back to normal, but could not find a way yet to bring it back to normal
[Touch HD General] DdimDdim:
If your PDA can see it, you may try to use Flash Format and format the card right on the PDA.
[Touch HD General] ehsanij:
did so with everyting, some says io error, some says disk is write protected, i afraid i lose my 16GB card!
[Touch HD General] craigsad77:
Think I have just fixed my problem of sd card dissapearing. Installed advanced config 3.3 .Turn off Sd Memory power managment to Disabled. Go to performance settings and change PNP unload display to 3000

and PNP wait I/O delay to 3000.

Hope this helps others.

My card works fine with every type of file, and the phone has no issue recognizing it...as soon as I hit igo8, the phone restarts. At one point, the phone restarted but would not go past the htc logo...forcing me to hard reset. I have already installed all components of igo, but still same problem and ONLY with igo8...by the way...using leo r5
[Touch HD General] ezumi:
I have tried this, but it doest work... i m not sure if it is hardware or rom problem.. I have been using energy rom fro NRG it works fine, after several weeks, it start happening that I keep losing the mem card... and now it completely unable to detect mem card.. i ve tried refomat, and insert other card too.. all doesnt work.. my card is Sandisk 2G. I ve tried Nokia 1G too.. both didnt work..

Any suggestion.. pls help..
[Touch HD General] slimest:
If a card disapears, and you need to softreset, three things are usually recommended:

1. Go to HKLM\drivers\sdcard\clientdrivers\class\sdmemory_class

Try to change the parameter DisablePowerManagement (dword) between 0 and 1, then softreset. If the parameter does not exist, create it.

2. Go to HKLM\System\StorageManager\ and change parameters PNPUnloadDelay and PNPWaitIODelay from 1500 to 2000 (usualy enough).

3. Remove any resident software, themes, today plugins etc from the card and reinstall them into your device main memory.

Usually helps. If not, try to hardreset or change your firmware. Also consider your card replacement.
[Touch HD General] ezumi:
I have tried the above steps.. still my HD cant detect the SD card.. when I insert the card into my Nokia E63, it can read the card.. I'm not sure what's wrong with HD.. definetely not the card issue,,,
[Touch HD General] ezumi:
Any suggestion??
[Touch HD General] Dennis-TW:
Sometimes the reason is simply a defective card reader...:(

You and me seem to share the same story...first everything worked fine, then the sd-card was occasionally not detected and finally no detection at all. I worked through all pages of this thread, flashed different roms, formatted my sd-card, bought a brand-new sd-card but everything to no avail. End of the story was sending the HD to repair and getting the mainboard changed. Since then, no problems at all.

Sorry for the bad news....
[Touch HD General] leslie lee:
same problem twice

The first time I experienced this problem I overcome it by flashing to a newer rom.

After using the newer rom for about 3 months I had the same problem recuring ie sd card not detected, This time I remove the Micro sd card and battery and thereafter remove my last installed software program ie Inesoft Phone Extension (that I installed a feew days earlier in sd card) and soft reset and it is ok now for a few days already.
[Touch HD General] chainbolt:
Same problem here. The original scandisk SD card that came with the HD is not reconized anymore, have to soft reset, then it is recongized for a few minutes and disappears again. Trying to acess the SC card from the PC is resulting in data courruptions, I/O error, etc, same as reported by other users.

What the f*** is this?

MOD EDIT - Offensive language removed
[Touch HD General] Dennis-TW:
Not very difficult to find it out.

Try reformatting the card with SD Formatter (you might look for a way to backup your SD card data before, if you haven't done this already) or use a digital camera to format the card.

Try using another SD card with the phone to determine whether it's just a card problem or the phone's card reader problem.

Try using the SD card in another device (e.g. camera) to doublecheck the previous step.

If the card fails in other devices too and formatting doesn't help, the card will be broken and you should replace it. Which still would be better than replacing the phone...
[Touch HD General] itsme_4ucz:
I had the same problem....I had to buy a new memory card
[Touch HD General] chainbolt:
Who would use a digital camera to format a SD card? :eek: That is usually done with your PC and a card reader. But thank you, did all this. Does not help. The question is, why it happens that often going by the posts here? Is there really a connection to flashing certain ROMs?
[Touch HD General] Matthes42:
I guess you have read all those previous posts in this thread with all those hints and solutions.

So are you sure you took out your sd-card while flashing a rom?
[Touch HD General] chainbolt:
To tell the truth, I did not. But is this really the reason that the SC card is now failing?
[Touch HD General] Matthes42:
If you have read this thread you know that it´s not really clear what´s the reason for that issue, but flashing with inserted sd-card might be one reason as often the cards fail working after flashing not during normal use
[Touch HD General] tavsiyeci:
I had the same problem but solved as follows.

First connect to PC as ""Disk Drive" (not thru active sync). Than in "My Computer" you will see the card. Than format the card as FAT32 (64 kb).

After that, right click and select "Properties">"Sharing">"Advanced Sharing" and check the "Share this directory" and close clicking on "Ok".

Disconnect the phone and reconnect via "Active Sync" (do not forget to deselect click under "Active Sync" connection type).

The concern is that the SD card sharing option is closed after you format the SD card or after you flash.I hope it helps

[Touch HD General] danielca89:
Hi, ive had one of Miri's 1.56 ROMS for months now and all of a sudden my phone would only recognise the memory card for a few seconds after resetting or re-inserting it...it also only detects for a few seconds on my pc...how do i back it up and format it when that happens?
[Touch HD General] danielca89:
I just tried putting my memory stick in another phone and it is also not recognised there so its definitely an issue with the memory stick, ive tried other memory cards in my HTC and they work perfectly
[Touch HD General] mybetrayal:
I thought that originally, but when I eventually got my phone to connect as a disk drive and formatted it, the problem went away. Touch-wood, it has not happened since. Must be something to do with the sharing / original formatting that does not sit well with WM6.x
[Touch HD General] danielca89:
When i connect the phone to PC i no longer get the option for data connection lol. I will try using a micro sd adapter to see if it is recognised by PC
