I was wondering.
Just the other day I posted on how I had trouble with the email on my MDA Vario and how it was caused by my mini-SD card?
Ever since I had the Vario, almost a year ago, I had been having trouble with the extern memorycard. First the trouble was, that the data on the card went missing for no apparent reason. I stacked the card full of pictures, mp3's and other data, and when I wanted to listen to some music, the card appeared empty. I solved that one by making a back up of the SD card every other day and formatting the mini SD card.
I even tried several cards, but the problem did not go away, yet
I haven't had the "disappearing data" problem since I hard resetted my Vario, February this year. I still have the same ROM, only the Vario has been unlocked (with the Lokiwiz).
It seems that all my memorycard issues and "The Calender won't give me reminders anymore"issues were gone.
So why this post?
Since the hard reset I don't have any MMS setting on the Vario. I checked, but when checking the "message" services, I have Text Messages, Outlook, Gmail (manually added) and Hotmail (when signed into MSN).
There are no MMS options.
I did check on the extended ROM through Total Command, the CAB files seem to be in place, and when dubble clicking with the stylus, they seem to install.
After a soft reset, nothing happens. There are still no MMS options in the messages-option thingy.
I did install the T-Mobile MMS settings/CAB's, double clicked, soft reset, nothing still. I can, however, configure MMS settings in the menu. But there is no way that I can actually use the MMS option.
(Tried with pictures taken with the Vario camera)
I do think that a hard reset and installing only the neccessary stuff (no T-Mobile, that is) will solve the problem, but I am too lazy to do that right now.
It's not that I can't continue this life ;-), but I was just wondering if someone else has this problem.

About 2 weeks of testing and still frustrated. I dont get TomTom 6 and Xda IIi to work fine. Everything works fine, installation, gps connection, poi an so on. The BIG problem is while i´m driving. Suddenly after for ex 3 min, 10 min, 28 min or 55 min the TomTom hangs. Then it works again after a soft reset and then it hangs and so on...
I´ve tried change ROM on the XdaIIi, tried TomTom 5 but the problem is still there.
I Use GPS Globalsat BT-338, Xda IIi ROM ver 1.11.00 WWE, SD card 1GB Kingston x50 and TomTom 6 (ver 6.030).
Any proposal? I´ve read some suggest faster SD card?
Works fine on mine, my SD card is a 4Gb 150x one. It may be another piece of software you have installed that is causing the issue. If you can back it all up I would test it on a clean install without the o2 front end ie corporate install but it may be your card.
i´ll try a faster XD.
I had troubles till I gained a disk by a Gentleman called Plasma from another place I cleared out the previous incantations and installed his works like a dream no problems even picks up my shortcut knowledge very quickly (I used to be a Transport Manager and am one of those horrible people with a map in my head for major routes) I use it mainly for the last couple of miles or the one or two places I don't know but mainly for the POI i.e. the speed camera's(I may be an old git but I like to travel reasonably fast)
3 possibilities I can think of:
1.) If this is a fairly recent install of TomTom 6 it might just not happen to like the particular SDcard you are using for the maps - I've heard some people find much faster cards give fewer/no crashes.
2.) Having too many POI files selected to display. Mine goes all unstable if I have more than about 25 different ones ticked to display on the map.
3.) sometimes the TomTom cfg gets corrupted, 'losing' my home locations and I am unable to set it...it gets tetchy & sometimes crashes out. The answer is to delete TomTom Navigator.cfg in the Navigator folder in Programs - TomTom will re-create a fresh one when you start and you go through the setups again, but hopefully without it crashing.
hope these are of some help

I had the same problem.
Changed the SD card to: "Transcend 2GB" and TomTom6 works perfectly on 2020i
Seems like Xda IIi freeze no matter how fast the SD is (with all tomtom version) if using SD and SIM card plugged in.
Change to MMC or take off SIM card then no more system hang.
Now I´ve test with SD card Extreme III. The problem i still there.
I know a few places where it hangs every time i drive past. Exactly the same position at the map. Very strange.
I deleted all pois, same **** again.
a lack of GPS signal can cause a map to "Hang" / "lock Up" and favorites for this are the Bluetooth GPS units
Greetings I've just got a Vario III (T-mobile) having upgraded from the Wizard (Vario I) the Vario I came with co-pilot gps mapping software - now I've got the Vario III i've copied the files across from the Co-Pilot data card to the Micro SD on the Vario III. It's installed fine on to the Vario III but when I try to run CoPilot it won't open tells me "unable to open CoPilot check the storage card is inserted and data downloaded properly" - well the card is in fine and readable.
So my question is, is CoPilot 6 Live compatible with Windows Mobile 6?
Cheers guys
I have copilot running on my TyTN II so it is possible. Works like a charm with the inbuilt GPS.
Anyway back to your problem check you have copilot in capitals as a folder in storage card/ it should contain datacd save and speech. Without this folder copilot will not run. I had the same error as you as I just copied over the program files originally, copy it over and you should be good to go (you will have to reactivate it though). If you copied over the 2577 folder and installed it from there then I cant see why it isnt working.
Anyway hope this helps
I can confirm that Desktopflame has got it spot on, as I've just followed his instructions and installed CoPilot Live 6 to my 6 Gb. SanDisc MicroSDHC, stuck it into my Vario 3, installed, reset, run, activated and taken it for a short test walk!
BTW I seem to remember reading on this forum that a couple of people thought the GPS receiver was rather a weak point, but so far I've had no problems with lock speed, (around 20 seconds and didn't need to use Quick GPS), accuracy, (it had me right where I should've been), or even signal strength, (to the point where I even maintained a lock when I inadvertantly walked into the kitchen forgetting to quit the thing, although I should point out it was less than a minute before I did shut it down so I'm not too certain how long it would have been before I got a little message if, even at all.
So, all in all, very satisfied.
I am running a tilt that is giving me the message "voice command has quit due to low memory" a few seconds after pressing the VC button. I have an 8gb Sandisk micro card in it with about 2 gb of music and the remainder is movies. Voice command will generally work fine with the card removed.
When viewing the memory page and starting Voice Command with the card in the slot, available memory goes from about 68mb free to about 66mb free, nothing close to wiping out the memory
Originally when this started I could clear out the IE history and it would be fine - no such luck anymore.
I have gone through the Kaiser Tweaks turning card management stuff on and off and have found no combintion that helps.
Is this an irreperable problem with large cards and voice command, or is there some registry hack that can help me? Not much on this subject on the forums, I hope I am not the only one experiencing this...
Thanks
Which version of Voice Command / ROM are you running?
Voice Command 1.5 does not work properly with WM6.1 ROMs.
I'm using version 1.6
I just bought it about 2 weeks ago.
It worked fine for the first week, adding nothing of significance to the storage card or installing additional software. What set it off was downloading a large file over WiFi directly to the storage card. I immediately deleted it and checked the disk over in windows, but it still kept happening. clearing out the memory worked for a day or two, now nothing will stop the error aside from removing the memory card.
Also...
The ROM is the 6.0 ROM shipped with the Tilt.
Here's a few things to try:
1) Uninstall / Reinstall Voice Command (kind of obvious, probably already tried)
2) Backup your data on the SD card, and then format it
3) Perform a hard reset on your Tilt and start over.**
**Note: This step will erase EVERYTHING on your device. You can use a program called PIMBackup to save your contacts, call logs, appointments, text messages, and much more. You can then restore them once the hard reset is done.
If you make it to step 3 and do not know how to do a hard reset, check out the Wiki link in my signature.
MSVC 1.6 Low memory problem
I am having this same problem of the low memory error ever since I installed a cooked WM 6.1 ROM with MSVC 1.6 baked into it. Since then, I have flashed several WM 6 ROMs on my HERMES and the same problem always comes up.
I never had this problem with the MSVC 1.6 since I first bought it over a year ago. Now no matter what ROM I flash, when I install my purchased MSVC 1.6, this low memory error plagues me.
This is not just a Kaiser problem, guys. Thought I would let you know. There have been a number of posts in the Hermes forum about this. It's driving me nuts. No solution found yet, and I have searched and searched here and on the internet.
If I find a solution, I will come back and let you all know.

Well...
I did the card reformat and replaced all the data, and it worked...for a while. Now it is back to doing the same thing. I am going to retry the format, try it for a few days and progressively add files to it. If number of files is not the problem, I'll reset all the way back. I have been using the tilt a lot for listening to streaming audio, maybe that has something to do with it (temp files in places I can't find, or heat buildup?)
Good to know my device is not just a lemon at least - Ben, does your problem happen all the time or only with the storage card installed?
Thanks for the help!
Philly Fan in your Kaiser forum also suffered with this issue, and I PM'ed him to see if he found a solution.
Taking my card out, MSVC seems to run without giving me the "has quit because of low memory" error. I don't understand what the memory card would have to do with this, but there you go.
Next I will try reformatting the card, and let you know how it goes. I presume you added programs to your device after reformatting, right, and then the problem returned? Did you install one or more of those programs onto your SD card?
I wonder if doing that is causing our devices to cause this problem? Funny it only now is happening to me after a year of using MSVC.
I will be back to you later on this. I hope someone else chimes in. This problem is really bizarre.
Ben
Reformatted my storage card, reinstalled MSVC 1.6. So far so good. Thanks NotATreoFan and Jaeger for the help. Will advise if any further issues.
Regards,
Ben
so far my second reformat is still working...
I have not wiped the memory on the PDA though - I have only been wiping the storage card. I have no programs installed to it and I haven't installed any new software during the time that I have been experiencing this problem. I'm replacing all the same exact files when I reformat.
There are a few things that I did on the tilt between the time that voice command worked and when it stopped again (from intensive wireless streaming of large playlists, to updating the WM library that packs all that metadata crap on the card) I'm going to do some troubleshooting this week and try to isolate something as the cause, see how many days I can go before it quits.
I really hope someone at MS is noticing these posts...
Voice command gone wild ( not hot )
I have a tilt. at&t rom ver. 1.57.502.2 radio ver 1.27.12.11. 3 day ago I loaded my 2 gig card with music all the way to only 3.3 MB remaining. I deleted some songs and have about 131 MB now. ever since then any contact vioce command i request loads programs that also have voice commands assigned. I would like to keep the songs but I need voice command more. So I guess I delete most of the songs and see if this helps Voice command. If It fixes my problem I will post again the results. JJ
I had this problem too. The solution was to turn off media player voice command so I can't use it for music control. It keeps a voice tag in memory for every song so if you have too many it runs out. VC was never designed for that many songs since cards bigger than 2 GB are new.
vc gone wild more info
Wilhelm I did not have voice assigned to any of my music players. but I did have it assigned to pictures & video application. maybe same rule applies. Anyway when I looked to see if I assigned VC to windows Media or others players I did notice that all the contacts that I HAD assigned VC to were no longer listed. I reassigned five contacts again, and now it is working again. So this looks like a fix but need to figure why it happened in the first place? Hope this helps out there. JJ
I have at&t tilt with windows mobile 6.1..I can't view any txt messages or e-mails when I click on the icons in the today screen nothing happens..also from the menu when I go to the MESSAGE ICON and click on it nothing happens.
I'm having the exact same problem, and it just started today. I didn't even know it was happening until someone called me and said "why aren't you responding to my text messages".
I've done several soft resets, to no avail.
I haven't installed any new programs recently.
Earlier this morning, before I knew about the messaging problem, I couldn't connect to the internet. But a soft reset fixed that.
So what would cause the messaging portion of the phone to just suddenly stop working and acting like it doesn't exist?
Euklid, with a little help from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2563559#post2563559 I think i fixed it. It seems that apparently sometimes files associated with tmail.exe (the messaging program), that are on the storage card sometimes become corrupt. So the solution is deleting the folder where these files are. Don't worry, a new folder will be created. The folder is named "Inbox.mst########.##########" (#=various numbers).
Worked for me, hopefully it works for you.
I had a similar problem and found rebooting with the storage card out (only happened when I set attachments to be stored on the SD card) solved the problem. Popped the card back in then and it was fine.
HTH
Ok sorry I didn't see the replies so i was desperate..I backed up my contacts using SPB Backup...i went to settings and CLEAR STORAGE..that seemed to have cleared everything and reinstalled the software..now my phone runs SUPER FAST and everything works..i had to restore my contacts that i backed up..and i had to reinstall all my programs..if u do this make sure u have all your contacts/apps etc backed up..im happy now cuz my tilt was going REALLY SLOW and not it seems alot faster..;p
Removing Storage Card Worked for me
I had the same problem - followed advise above, removed SD card, rebooted, inserted SD card, all is well. Thanks!
IT Worked for Me !
Guys, thank you very much for your help. i Almost lost hope.
I have an At&T tilt , upgraded to ROM version 3.57.502.2 WWE from HTC website a few months ago.It worked fine (although i hate threaded messages).
Then Suddenly 1 week ago, i couldn't receive any SMS (text messages) and the Messaging would not open altogether. I also wasn't able to launch Active Sync on the PDA. Whenever i tried to launch Active sync, it opened for less than a second then closed.
I followed the instructions in this post and deleted the last Inbox.mstxxxxxxx folder only and everything went fine. It seems this folder was corrupt
Thanks again ..... you saved the day !
All i did was remove the inbox.#########.######### in the storage card and it worked fine.
deleting 'inbox.mstxxx' does it
After all the soft reboots, etc, removed the sd card and messaging worked again. Deleted the empty folder 'inbox.mstxxx' from sd card in PC and all's well. Thanks
It Keeps Coming Back
I also had this problem (see thread from today "Inbox Attachments Screws Up Messaging" as I can't post links). My deal is that the folder keeps coming back?!?! How do I stop this?
HTC Viva Solved
Thank you everyone.
It worked for me in my HTC Viva:
1. Delete the Inbox.mst........ from the SD Card
2. Soft reset
3. Working!
