Hi,
I need some urgent help...
today i got apacer 1gb 60x sd card.
the card does not allow any write function when it is in my pda2k, thru active sync or thru file explorer on my pda2k,
though it works fine in a card reader, can write and delete on the card.
my older 1gb mmc card is wirking fine in the phone.
i also formatted the card using a card reader, even that does not help.
i tried a format utility on ppc, but that can't do anything on the card, it says the card is read only or the access has een denied,
pls help me!!
I have the same problem and I can not fix it.
I think its the quality of the card.
Same problem here.
For future Reference it is a 1GB, Pretec High Speed
my friend bought 2 cards and sent one to me,
his pda is O2 xdaIIs and mine is imate pda2k, both blueangles..
but the card is working on his pda, and not mine..
hardware is supposed to be the same from HTC...
i fail to understand how can this happen.
Possibly the size of the card, 1gb, is the problem?
FWIW, with regards to size, I use a 2GB Sandisk card in my XDA IIs without any problems.

1gb mmc card is working fine on this phone..
so size should not matter..
i can read the stuff from the sd card... but can not write on it when it is in pda, i'm able to write to it by using a card reader..
Actually I think it may be the speed - 90x on this end

Been using a Kingston 1GB SD card for the last 4 months with no problems at all, until yesterday :shock:.
I was downloading the a file from the internet via GPRS directly to the SD card. The browser locked up the PPC so I had to reset it. Now the card is completely dead, whatever device I put it in.
What have I learned from this?
1. The XDA 2i kills SD cards if it is reset whilst writing to the card.
2. Don't use flakey apps to write to the SD card, or download from the internet directly to the SD card!
yup my xda2i killed on of my sd cards as well can't read it on any device
same card same problem ... later some freeze and soft reset my sd kingstone 1gb is missing and also winxp don't format!!

yes, the card reader reads my card but the mda3 dont read
format using card reader your card into fat file system and try it, the other option is to format your card using pocket mechanic in your pocketpc
I sent my BA back to the shop due to the same Issue,
SD was not readable, new rom did not help.
can anyone help? ive just brought a 2gb sd card and my o2 xda iis wont read it? is there a patch or software to help?
2gb cards are general ones any pda can read them if u r getting any problem try some other cards on ur pda, if they works repalce the 2gb asap.
tried a 128mb card and it wont read that either...
Make sure the card isn't a SHDC-type of card (most likely not, but one never knows).
Does the phone even see the card, or does it just have problems reading it?
Tried reformatting it in the phone? A known issue is many programs on a stand alone computer will try to format SD cards as drives (floppy or otherwise), which is the wrong formatting for flash devices.
no its not a shdc card.. ive no idea how to format the card in my phone ( a o2xdaiis), it shows the slot in use but no storage card

Well, you can format it from your computer using a card reader and the flash formatter software from panasonic, or you can get an evaluation version of various different programs for the PPC platform that will do it as well.
Google for it, there are a lot of different ones and I've only ever used the panasonic software and a usb card reader.
not hain any luck .. got a flash card programme but my xda wont read any memory cards at all

If the cards are readable with the computer and/or other devices but not in the phone, I would suspect a hardware or potentially software problem with the phone.
Has the phone been able to read any cards at all, or is this the first one you have tried?
Have you tried backup up your data and hard resetting the phone?
tried a 128mb card and the 2 gb.. it reads the slot in use but no memory card ..think the problem may well be the phone... it had mobile 2003 on when i brought it have now upgraded to mobile 6 and still donrt work

i use normal apeed SD is ok
run 4D SDHC , ths pda can't detect the card so
use 2G non SDHC is OK
I have AT&T Tilt with Sakajati's HyperDragon IV Windows Mobile 6.1 OS ROM, I also have this 8 GB micro SD card, which has around 3.5 GB of data, but for some reason I am not able to write on it any more. When ever I tried to format it I get this message which says " The card is write protected" I don't remember putting any password or anything. I can read data from that card on any computer or phone, but can write anymore data on the card. I can't delete anything from the card either.
Can someone suggest what could be wrong with the card and how can I unlock it?
I have tried low level format also, the format completes without any error, but when see in file explorer all the files are still there. If I try to format from SD formatter, I get error "The memory card is write protected", windows format doesn't give any error, just runs and in the end says "Windows can't comeplte the format". Card is working file and have no problem in reading the data it has, just can't write new one ot delete old one.
This is very weird problem... any help/comment is good.
Not sure if this will help....
I've had very similar issues over time...
Because of high TomTom & Music Use.
Both are loaded and work off my SD Card (6 GB worth)
What I finally found that worked for me, was to get a 2nd card and backing up my SD card to my Desktop PC, so later I could transfer to the 2nd SD Card when needed.
Then I do a Complete Format [Full FAT32 Format] of the old SD Card, via the Mini SD adapter on my Desktop PC.
I found that formating within the phone doesn't always work...
If this is not the case I can think of 2 other reasons for potential problems..
~Some ROM's require the removal of SIM & SD Cards when installing?
~If you were using an adapter formating the SD Card and it was not set to write mode?
Best of Luck!
JAC,
Thanks for your reply, but I have already tried FAT32 formatting using micro sd card, but as I said before, but it errored out.I even tried low level format, but didn't work. There is no locking swithc or anythign in micro SD card, not sure how the data can be locked. If it was ecrypted I was not able to read data on other devices. So what happened? Any help!!!
Like everything else, sometimes things just wear out, break or are just low quality to begin with. If you can read it on other devices, then transfer it and get a new card.
There is also a trick used by nefarious suppliers that takes a 4GB (or any size chip) and format it in a way that it appears as a larger chip. Then when you go to write to it the whole thing goes crazy.
This is why I recommend using reputable resellers and buying good quality Name Brand Chips, Like Sandisk or Kingston.

Very easy SDHC is not support on the Blue Angel
really? ( too bad.. now i understand .. wish i can still return or exchange it to the store...
even my 2gb SD card is not recognized any help?
back up everything on the card (assuming the pc can still see the card).
then format it like this:
file system: fat32
allocation unit size: standard allocation size
label: whatever you want, e.g. BLUEANGEL
and untick quick format!
then you should be able to access it from the BA.
if you still aren't, there is probably something wrong with the card or your sd card slot in your BA.
