Ive been having some problems with my tmo wing lately in terms of extreem lagging. Ever since I have used pocket mechanic to defrag my storage card, everything went to sh1t on my phone. I cant boot my phone with my storage card in the slot or it will just reset when it gets to the green windows mobile background. And most importantly, whenever I open "Messages" on my phone, it takes honestly 5 or more minutes to open, then another 5 to open sms/mms then another 5 mins to open/reply to a sms. My program memory is usualy always ATLEAST over 10MB and I had batery status running and while i was opening these windows at the task bar it showed it was using 0% or minimal processor usage, so im assuming that it's not executing properly... does someone have a fix for this? can someone help me out? because to temporarely fix the issue i have to reboot the phone... thanks!

Here's something you should try.
Remove the card then insert it into a card reader at your computer. Copy everything on it and then format the card using FAT16.
Now back-up everything possible on the phone. (in your case this could take a while). Place the back-up file on the computer, if you use the card for back-up reformat it again after you complete the process. Then hard reset the phone and check to see if it still has this problem. Place the empty card inside the phone and try to copy some stuff to it. If everything is ok, restore your files using that back-up you just made. Check to see if the problem manifests now. If it does, clearly there is something rong with your program configuration and you may want to reinstall all your programs manually.
If the phone still runs slow after a master reset you should try to rewrite the phone's ROM as a last resort option. (your back-up copy woun't work after this). If it still runs slow even after this, then... well that's bad. It's something I call "the dead slow card problem". I've tried to find a fix for this for about 3 years on different htc products, but with no succes. The good part is that there's a very small chance this can happen in the normal every day usage. Try this things first and tell me what happens.
wow... Before i even attempt this surgery, i just want to say thank you very much for taking the time to write all this. it's very appreciated.
Before i try all this, i got a few Qs.
What do i use to back up my stuff on my device? or do i just copy paste important stuff... if so what about extensions and associated files...
And what involves a hard reset? does it effect the registry tweaks that i have done? in the end... what will be reset?

Ok no idea how this happened so I'm sorry I can't say exactly what went wrong. Last night I noticed that for some reason none of my mp3s were showing up in the library. Was out with some friends so just went on with my night until I tried to use PocketCM Contacts. Some reason it wouldn't load and I had to uninstall it and switch my softkey back to standard contacts. Latter on I realized that everything on my storage card was somehow gone.
In settings - memory it still shows the same amount of file space taken up on the card and I have tried removing it a few times and resetting.
If it's all gone that's ok because I have copies of all the programs I had installed. Only problem really is that I don't think I have the mp3s on my computer.
Was just wondering if this has happened before and if there is a chance the files are still there since the space on the card is still used. I also plugged the phone into active sync and it also shows nothing on the card.
This is a common problem and there are lots of things that cause it. Primarily, it is installing programs on your SD card, and leaving them running and your phone hibernating.
Typically when this happens, a simple soft reset will fix the problem... but I always suggest keeping up to date back ups of your SD card in order to avoid losing all your data.
I'm in a car at the moment using internet sharing on my phone, so I'm not going to find you all the links, but run a search on the site for "Corrupt SD Card" or "disappearing SD card" and you'll find lots of info about it.
Thanks man. Since I lost all my programs I think I'm gonna reflash the phone too. Want to try touch-it out.
man it has happened to me like 3 times on my wing. the first time i soft reset my phone and it worked. The next time i deleted my documents folder because it was showing 2 of them and i lost everything. I formatted the card and it messed up again this weekend. I ended up flashing to the touch it rom yesterday to see if it would make my phone more stable because i read that it might be the phone making my card act up.
I searched for ways to fix it and downloaded programs but they didnt work because my SD wasnt recognized by the programs. I lost 400 songs and ringtones and videos the first time and 500 songs the next. I have all the songs on my cpu but i made them all smaller to save space and that took a while. I dont even feel like putting anymore music on there because i might end up losing it all again.
Just keep contant backups of your card in case it happens... I bought a USB 2.0 card reader Stick thing for like $20... so I can copy files back and forth faster than thru activesync.
Hi,
For some weird reason my kaiser has corrupted some directories on my micro-sd card. I had a backup on my pc of course, but it's annoying when this happens outside. My TomTom map was corrupted as well.
This happened to my twice now within one and a half month.
How can this happen? What can I do to prevent this?
I don't even use the card for a lot of read/write stuff. most of it is just idle data... a few apps and my internet explorer cache. And I didn't even turn it off.. one day all was wel, and the next day my TomTom can't find it's map anymore. no reset or reboot happened in the time between that..
Any ideas? It's getting quite annoying....
Diamond Missing internal storage
I have discovered the same issue of the Internal storage missing, I have tried flashing it with the latest and greatest firmware and nothing appears to bring it back. It just does not show up when the phone and when I go to memory it just says that the Internal Storage card is not installed.
Any help would be fantastic.

Hi SurfHost,
The storage is missing even when the phone is unplugged from the PC,
It is a real concern, when I first noticed is when I went to play music while I was driving and the phone could not find the music that was stored on the internal storage. mmmm
I am concerned its buggered.
If you run some Programms you cant acess your internal storage. (had the same problem with tomtom for a while).
HI i have the same problem. with my orange diamond. secound phone to do this.
orange giving my problems with changing the phone again.
i spoke to htc direct and they were very helpful. after a long phone chat with there engineer he agreed the phone is faulty.
they have had cases were a double hard reset somtimes brings the phone back in line. but in my case it didnt work.
did you connect your phone to your car stereo? and then it became faulty?
Maybe theres somthing in these readers which trips the phones up?
The Internal Storage only disappears when you set to use it as a high speed mass storage device and not an active sync device.
Try changing the usage over and see if it comes back.

Try to read before you post, and welcome btw
Hi dazkent,
How do I do a double hard reset?
I am willing to try anything at this stage.
Besides from it losing most of its memory, I still love this phone, but not having the space for Mp3s or TomTom apps its just a simple phone.
Looking forward to some help
Thanks everyone

Never heard of anything called 'double hard reset'. I'd suggest performing 'ordinary' hard reset, here is the how to:
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and
ENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
3. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until you see the message on the screen (about all the personal data being deleted)
4. Release the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the
VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other
button to cancel the reset.
If that doesn't help I'd try to put newer ROM in if I were you.

If you had come to this stage . . . .
I suggest that you goto: Start > Setting > System > Clear Storge > in the drop down panel select "Format InternalStorage Only", see whether is works . . .
You are the one who decide, is you Diamond . . .
I would be happy to format the internal storage if it was seen by the OS, it just does not show up. I will try the hard reset now and see what that gives me. Thanks everyone for your help so far.
HI
Double hard reset. was sugested by the engineer at htc. when trying to solve this issue.
basiclly perform hard reset and as soon as reboot finish perform again.
It didnt fix mine and the htc engineer said my phone was faulty.
After 6 hours back and forth on the phone to orange.
Orange finally replaced my phone for the 3rd time for this fault. had it a week now and current phone seems to be holding out fine. although now i have a battery drain issue with this one!
My Diamond loses Internal Storage when connected to the PC as a USB disk - as expected.
Sometimes it does not regain the Internal Storage when unplugging it from the PC. My assumption (not yet tested) is that this tends to happen when the File Explorer is open on the Diamond when disconnecting.
Completely powering off+on the Diamond (not just Standby) solved these incidents for me every time so far....never needed to hard-reset.
I have exactly the same fault.
My internal storage will return if I do a hard reset, but that's a pain to set up my device from scratch everytime.
After using it for a day or so (using Active Sync at work and mass storage at home), it will lose the ability to 'see' the internal storage.. either via mass storage or Active synch connection, although plugged in as a mass storage device the PC can still see and use it as normal, just active synch or the phone itself can't see it.
I'm not so sure that this is a hardware issue, I think the phone still thinks it's connected via 'normal' usb.
Any ideas, I'm on Rom 1.93 and the issue is still occurring. It's doing my nut in!
The best way it's to use linux...
Just connect the phone to the pc(with linux), chose the disk option on the phone.
Then on the pc go to the partition manager and on the right top side chose the phone memory.Chose and eliminate that partion and after that just create a new one.This not very complete any doubt's just post...
I have done this one Ubuntu,the 8.10 version, with the disk running, not instaled on the pc.
if you are a sprint user this is the solution http://www.htc.com/us/supportdownloa...id=148&act=all i have the same problem but im not sprint
I had this problem once also. Diamond could not see internal storage.
I opened file explorer and saw that i had
Internal Storage
and
Internal Storage2
Internal Storage did not contain anything though
What i did is rm the Internal Storage folder and Soft Reset.
Everything back to normal...
actually while you enter the hardreset menu there are two options, choose the one that says hard reset along with formatting internal storage(moviNAND or somthing).
No Internal Storage Install
My Diamond (P3700) have the same problem.
I tried use hotfix here http://www.htc.com/us/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=148&act=sd&cat=all
but it's said : ''Please use the correct device to install this Hotfix Program!"
Is there a way to get my internal storage back??

2) format your internal memory there.
3) flash your phone again.

Note: dun try to connect your phone to your car audio again.
Hi,
My X1 felt from the table yesterday and it happened before. Normally take the battery back in, starting up and everything is okay.
Now I putted the battery back in, and started up, the system ask me to align the corners, like the first time I started up over a year ago.
Yes, F**K........for some reason it hard resetted my device during that fall from the table....or at the landing
Anyway, I am back on track now, but all my programs on my storage card is not easy to reach anymore. When I go to settings and startmenu, I can only put programs from the device in it.
The only way to open programs from my storage card now is to Open File Explorer and than go to storage card.
I tried a lot of things, but I am still not able to put my favorite programs from the storage card in my start menu.
Does anyone recognize this and more importantly, is there a solution for it????
Cheers,
Arnold
