Hello guys,
after the news about the HTC Touch Pro, in my eyes just a diamond, i asked myself about the internal storage. the diamond has the "large" 4gb storage but the Pro just have 512mb?? What's up there? than i saw that in the specifications of the diamond are listed the ROM storage and the internal storage. 256mb ROM storage i think.
The question is, why threw HTC he internal Storage of 4gb out of the device? maybe there's not enough space for a "second" card slot....??
If somebody already opened the diamond or has a picture of an open device can you please post it?
I think HTC has already an storage slot in the diamond, they just blocked it against use of outside? just as a buying argument for the Pro??
I'm just interested how they integrated the 4gb storage,... if it's really so simple as i hope i don't have to buy the Pro. i don't like the "qwertz" keybord, it just makes the really nice device thick and ugly,... but it's sad that the diamond just have 4gb because that's quiet poor in my opinion,... so i really search for an solution for more storage in the diamond....
Have you ever had a WM device before?
The Pro comes with:
ROM: 512 MB
RAM: 288MB
+ microSDHC slot
and the Diamond with:
ROM: 256 MB
RAM: 192 MB
Internal storage: 4 GB
If you look at most of the WM devices out there, the concept usually is like with the PRO. Although with 512MB ROM and 288MB RAM the Pro comes with about twice as much memory as previous PPCs.
I am pretty sure that HTC has soldered the 4gb flash memory right onto the board. Having a cardreader on the board would cost more and take more place... therefore very unlikely...
It is a bummer that the Diamond has no memory card slot. On the other hand, most people will not need more than 4 GB memory.
With that much ROM/RAM that the Pro offers in addition to a Memory Card slot, the machine should actually do very well with quite a few opend applications.
If you search (the forum or use) google, you will find tons of reports on the HTC Touch Diamond...
Just a silly question - does hard reset erase also Internal Storage? Thanks...

Don't believe so. From other posts I've read (and a quick look through a copy of the manual someone posted) it appears to acts just like an SD card (except you can't remove it!). You can clear/reformat the internal storage if you need to but a hard reset doesn't clear it.
Others confirm?

Dealbreaker for me on the diamond which is too bad as I love my Vogue right now; but my 8gb microsd card is nearly 100% full...

hard reset

actually... "it can do" is the answer. when you hard reset, you get a chioce whether to or not!
I concur
BTW, there is hope that it can support USB host and plug a card reader to read whatever you want. Try holding Vol Down and Back (<-) while reset and see for yourself...But I don't know how to get it to work while WM6 running.
My question to the topic is ... did somebody opened Diamond ? (disassembled it) ... whether internal storage is fixed 4gb micro sd / it can be changed for higher capacity micro sd ?
before i do that...

most bets are no...
it wouldnt make sense to have such a complicated contraption when you can just solder on a 4gb chip directly on board
if they had a 4gb sd slot they would prob give you a memory card reader and say here is a 4gb card with the diamond

Hi guys,
I have just bought my Tilt 8925. Everything is going fine except the Storage card, the PDA seems not able to read the storage card - Kingston 1G mircoSD.
I tried something like:
- Format the card with my PC and copy some file into the card but when I use File Explorer to find the card, nothing there.
- Check About: Expansion slot: In use
- Check Memory: Total storage card memory: Not installed.
What should I do to make the PDA recognize the card? Any help is much appreciated.
Hi there
Have you tried formatting the card with the PDA instead of the PC? I'm sure Windows Mobile has the setting somewhere (can't think off the top of my head!)
Or, could use 3rd party software like Pocket Mechanic to format it?

I have used Pocket Mechanic but even this software can not find the storage card. I have also tried with a few other cards but the phone can not read either.
What should I do now?
I think you may have a bad storage card. Have you tried another one?
If you try another and it still fails to read the card then it is the Tilt, but try another card first.

If you've tried other cards, then it seems like your phone has a hardware problem with the microSD slot. If you're still under the 1 year warranty, it should be covered.
Had a similar problem with my htc tytn ii (not tilt). Was a day away from booking it in for repairs when I downloaded the official WM6.1 rom. Flashed it and it worked.
Then it worked again. Hard reset didn't do the trick for me.
Thanks all guys
I have tried all solution that I could find from forum, google...But I have to convince myself that it is hardware problem.
I will flash another ROM as last hope.
I have the same problem for about 1month now.. It just stopped reading the mem card.. After a few days, I was able to see the card again in the device's file explorer, but after a few minutes it desappeared (lol)
I needed my tytnII, so I haven't send the device for repairs yet, but I will tomorrow..
I tried everything possible (tried to use other mem cards, flash offcial roms, cooked light roms, etc) but nothing worked.. And my mem card is read by other devices.. I'm also convinced it is a hardware prob..
Just be sure to revert to an official rom and revert the SPL as well, so you don't void the warranty.. You can find the instructions here
Cheers
Hi again
I know this doesn't really help but I had a similar problem with an SD card I bought for a digital camera a while ago (256MB card - biggest there was when I bought it )
I had bought 2 cameras and 2 cards (one for me, one for my dad). His memory card just refused to work in either of the cameras, but worked fine in my Nokia 6600 (told you it was a while ago!). Tried formatting with the PC, phone etc. but nothing worked - had to get a new SD card in the end to replace it
I'm having the same problem. Expansion slot says it's in use, but file explorer shows no card installed. Settings - Memory says no installation. Do you really think flashing a 6.1 rom might help?

Who are you asking?
Does it not see other cards? Even after a hard reset? If you don't have 6.1 then I would say that you are behind the times.
ChumlyEX:
I've read plenty of posts saying that 6.0 is preferred for many situations, stability among them. I just moved to ppc and haven't flashed yet. Do you recommend a specific cooked version?
Very Similar Problem
Hey everyone, before anyone says anything, i researched this pretty good and havent seen an issue similar to mine and this thread is a bit old so i might start a new one.
My problem is that my at&t Tilt is only reading one of my microsd cards,
they are all sandisk, they range from 64mb, 128, 256, (3 different 1 gig) 2 gig and a 4gig sdhc
the tilt reads the 128 with no problems, the others, in About section it shows expansion slot in use, but under Memory it says not installed. does the same for all except the 128mb
i tried them on another tilt, they all work fine
i tried them on my htc wizard, they work fine (with the exception of the 4g sdhc) because wizard has no support for sdhc.
they are all formatted over and over, tried fat32, and fat16 using windows xp, also tried formatting using good old DOS
Scanned them for visruses, none found
I just got the phone so i dont knonw much about the history of the situation, however it had original ship rom, tried reflashing, upgrading to different at&t roms (3 total) tried custom roms.
anyway if anyone reads this and knows something it would be very helpful
Thanks
I had the same problem. My Tytn stopped seeing storage card. I tried another card, same problem. I've flashed the ROM, same problem again. So I guessed it's not the software problem, it is hardware. I gave my device to repair store and they realized that one pin from card reader slot was broken and unable to read card.
That happen because the card I bought was just a slight wider than it should be, it's card manufacturers problem. And when I was putting that card in the slot, it broken one of the pins. It's unable to see it through slot, you need to open device.
They needed to replace whole slot and that cost me about 250 Euros.
****ty thing..
p.s. If you planing to return your phone to repair store and you still got warranty, be sure that you put back original ROM, if you have flashed now. They will not approve you warranty if you have custom ROM
Feedback changed flex cable
ok so this is intressting, and as i was saying in my previous post, there was no problem with the cards (that im aware of) and they worked on my friends tilt, so after some convincing, i got him to agree to let me take his phone apart this morning and swap up the cables so i dont go and buy a flex cable and it turns out its not it. well i took em both apart (without braking anything!!) and i power it up, and guess what, it did the exact same thing!!!!
so a working flex cable did not solve the problem, i tried my cable in his phone, and it worked, read about 7 different micro sd cards!
unless its the motherboard of the phone, or it has to be some software that a hard reset or oem rom wont fix.
there has to be something, i just wish i could find it!
well yesterday i was drunk and dropped my tilt into a toilet full of piss. I took it out to dry, took battery out and shut it off... i forgot to take out my microsd card though.
My tilt is working somewhat fine but its still clearly water damaged. same problem with all of u.. my phoen wont read the microSD card now and i cant load up android which is bull****. so it must be a hardware problem imo
that sux to hear, well i dont belive mine got wet, not that i know of and no signs of water intrusion on the little white water detectors. I am still trying different sdhc drivers but nothing yet
I solved my problem with a new front board and main ribbon. Swapped them out and everything reads perfectly. I paid around $30 or so on ebay for the part.

lucky you!! i did that and it didn't change anything
i even swaped boards, sim card reader, lcd screen, but it has to be something in the main board, i still belive it's a software issue or firmware maybe, something still stuck on that board, i tried it all from hard resets to different roms, spls, radios, reverting back to ship rom, other official roms and nothing. expension slot shows in use, but no storage card with the exception of a couple of different small ones that will show in file explorer, i can install cabs from them but cant really copy anything from device to card or card to device this is so annoying. I even went out and bought a new micro sd and ended up returning it cuz it did the same thing
Final Update
well i was sure that it had something to do with the board of the phone or at least a software or registry issue that was causing this problem, after being 100% sure that it wasnt the flex cable or anything I was lucky to find a motherboard for $26.50 (with shipping) on ebay, so i didn't even hesitate, baught it, swaped the camera (it was the only thing missing) and everything works! i dont know what i'm gona do with the board, but i doubt that im gona give up on figuring out what caused this problem and how to fix it, and i will keep on checking this thread on regular basics
I am using a micro sd hc by kingston 8gb. I have been using this sd card for over a month now with now problems using about .5gb of space. I took my battery out of my tilt while powered on to reset the phone. Now the phone is reset fine and running but it says theres no sd card! I go to settings, memory, storage card and it says not installed. I took out the card put it back in several times no difference. I have an older sd card thats 1gb that i put into my phone and it reads it just fine. I then put the 8gb card back in and says not installed, what the hell? I also tried putting the 8gb storage card in my 8525 and it says not installed. Did my memory card die for some reason some how? Ive never heard of this and never had any problems with an sd card and ive been using them for years. Ive never played with the sd card, once i put it in the phone it stays there and i never take it out. Did maybe resetting the phone by taking the battery out while powered on somehow kill the sd card? Ive done this before with no ill effects. I dont understand, please help anyone. Hate to lose all the info and everything i have stored on my 8gb storage card. Thank you!
did u try to access it on a pc? if you success, move the contents to the pc, and format it, and then move the contents back.

No, my ghetto pc doesnt have a slot for the card. Need to get a usb slot thing for it but i really need this card working now. Doesnt make sense what would case this all of a sudden. Only thing i can think of his taking the battery out.
I think ive really tried everything except the pc method but dont think thats gonna work either. I put the sd card in my 8525 and had the same problem so its not just my tilt, its the card itself. I put an old 1gb card in my tilt and it read it just fine, same with my 8525. Im really stuck here guys and need help, i already contacted kingston tech since they offer a lifetime warrenty even though i got it free but what the hell? Some of the stuff on that card is really not replaceable, really need it. Thanks.

Chances are you need to format the card in a PC as fat32 and try it back on the kaiser. Go to Staples/BestBuy/Walmart and go get a 10$ usb microsdhc card reader. I have one and it works great. I got the Mobilemate Micro Reader and I wont go without it now.
I went to radio shack and for the same price I got one that will read eight types of cards, nifty tool to have around, it can read multiple cards at once

Oh yeah? Well mine is the size of your pinky fingernail when plugged in so HA
Having a micro reader around attached to my keyring ( With my old 4gb card in it ) is nice when im copying random files accross multiple computers. For work i can DL the file using Opera ( Drivers ) and simply pop my micro reader into the PC

Thats great guys but i need the info on the card that is irreplaceable. I could care less about the card, i get em for free. I really just need the files on the card to be recovered but my phone is having this problem and even my 8525 is having the problem with this card too. I ordered a keychain usb thing like what u got from cellphoneshop.net for like $6. Im assuming though if my tilt and 8525 cant read o reconize the card than either will my computer once plugged in. Unless the computer does something my 2 phones dont do to recover the files, i dont know since ive nver had an issue with an sd card before. I really need to recover the files then ill worry about the sd card working again or i could get another no problem but need the files back. What would case this problem, i dont get it? Did taking out my battery wile phone was powered on cause this and make a short erasing the card or something? I have takin the battery out of my phone numerous times while powered on and never had any problems before. How can i recover the files? Thanks!
Your going to have to research some file-recovery tools and try some of those, or send your card to one of those (expensive) places that perform file recovery.
Good luck.
/I feel your pain -- I once lost everything on a 1-gig card. Now, of course, i do regular backups.

Well before i had a 1gb card for over a year with my 8525 and my tilt with zero problems. I just got this 8gb card (really dont need one that high, just got it cus) about a month ago and still worked fine like the first one in my tilt. I actually used the dang sd card as my backup for files on my comp since my ghetto walmart computer likes to crash all the time. Now im screwed! What would i google or search for a file recovery program for my sd card? Worst comes to worst ima send it back to kingston since they have a lifetime warranty and tell them i need my damn files back and see if they will do it. Still waiting a response from their tech unit. Ive also searched this problem here on xda to see similar problems but no solutions. Theres gotta be a way, any ideas guys? Thank you!

How are these programs expensive? I just googled "sd card file recovery" and got tons of pages of freeware apps that recover. Problem here is it wont work with my sd card in my tilt and my tilt connected via usb activesync. It will check your computer or anything via usb but doesnt find or show my phone as a device for some reason. Stupid me didn't think about just stoppin by the store and picking up one of those sd flash usb things and instead ordered one online. Id hate to have to wasted another $10 and get one tomorrow then ill have 2. Any other ideas guys? I found this one to look pretty cool if anyone needs an app for this, http://data-recovery-professional.com/?k=Sd Card Data Recovery It seems to be freeware since i didnt see anything about paying and doesnt say register or anything like that while running the program. Check it out. Any other ideas though? Id really like to get to the bottom of this and find out how the hell this all happened in the first place? Thanks!
This site also seems to have some legit freeware programs for this too! http://www.pcinspector.de/Sites/task_manager/download.htm?language=1#
Yeah guys, i think im royally screwed now. I remembered i have a digital camera so i put in my sd card into the adapter so it would fit into my digital camera, then i could connect the camera via usb as a mass storage device then use the freeware program to get my files back, sounds great right? Well after i put in the card the camera displays "Card Error" and connecting via usb the computer doesnt display the storage device, probably because the card is screwed. Did i fry my sd card somehow in my tilt? I really cant think of how to fix this now. Ill get a sd card reader that plugs into the usb and try that but my digital camera i think is doing the same thing. Ill probably just get the same "card error" after plugging my sd card into the usb adapter. What do you guys think?

card reader + file recovery software is the way to go
also, work slowly, don't panic, and don't attempt to write anything on your card if you got it to work until you pull all your data off of it with the file recovery software.
even if you somehow could format it, the file recovery software could still retrieve some of your files, so, again don't panic, unless the card circuitry is just fried, there is hope

Im gonna try to get a card reader tomorrow even though i already ordered one online but i need these files asap! Problem here is NO Device reconizes my sd card now. My 8525 doesnt show it when i put it in, my digital camera says card error and doesn read how, how will a card reader read it if none of these other devices will? I tried using my digital camera as a card reader but nothing comes up. Tech support from kingston emailed me bck just saying that warranty echange is going to contact me and send me a new card. I just emailed them back saying i could care less about the card but need the files! Hopefully i can send my card in and they can recover the files and mal them back on a fresh card. Until then, ima try to get a card reader today or tomorrow and try i out.

Im assuming you are using the SAME MicroSD to SD card adapter when swapping between your cam and phone. Make sure you are buying a card reader that will work WITHOUT an adapter. It MUST take microSDHC and read it without the use of any other device. Ive had issues with 3 sd to microsd adapters already. All 4 of my Microsdhc cards work great even though i had the issue of not being readable in the phones.

That reader doesnt show microSDHC as a compatible card ..... not too sure if its going to work......
Here is the exact one im using and have been using it for months. Works wonderfully I keep my old 4gb card in it when its on my keyring and swap my 8gb card to move files to my kaiser.
Hello, I can't seem to find anything related to this on google or your wonderfull website ( thanks to you folks i was able to root my htc desire and install cyanogenmod, as well as unlock it from the network), any way to the point, I switched network providers because ive had it with telus, long story short, i went to bell and had to get a new phone, so i tried this htc hd7, n i kick myself in the teeth, but im stuck with it now... n now that i can use my desire on any network, i popped my bell sim in and am using that, so, i want to use the 16 gb class 4 sandisk sd card out of the hd7 in my htc desire, windows doesnt recognize it, nor does kubuntu, and nor does the format utility windows comes with, the format fails... and of course the phone wont read it or format it through recovery or in OS, ive also tried a program called low level format tool, it sees it, but results in multiple errors when formatting, any thoughts?
you need a Nokia phone to format it. The SD card is locked.
Does it need to be a specific model? The only nokia device i have is an air card for my laptop and theres no memory card settings, i think i have a couple buddies that own nokia phones though, damn windows phail 7

You must have not looked on Google very hard:
"format WP7 SD card"
Actually, thats the first thing i searched, which is also how i discovered the low level format utility, you can have absolute faith i've searched anything i could think of and explored multiple options that i could think of, including a kodak easy share c183 (fairly new digital camera) and multiple sd card recovery applications designed for digital cameras, ive tried using linux and both windows/linux OS disks, im thinking, now that the bootloader has been exploited for the the hd7, if i can port either kubuntu mobile or some third party android build to it, i would gain access to the card, then mess around with that, but theres gotta be some way i can format this bugger. ive also come across the thread that includes using the nokia phone, but i dont have one. this is the only other thing i could find besides the llft, is there anyone else out there that has wanted to use there 16 gigger out of the hd7 for some other device after upgrading to a 32gb card? i have skimmed these forums as well and turned up nothing
well i just came across this post and aim on the same boat... i have 4 16g and going crazy i will hate to see this 4 16 sd go to trash... just cause mocosoft have play bad with us.....
ps just like guitarjunkie i have try all i can think-off
well im going to render this question unasnwerable i think for the time being, until we can find an application that works, if there wll ever be such a time, i will keep posted if i find one, thank you almostinsane for your time and input about the nokia phone, and to my boys from microsoft, blast you all, creators of wp7 to eternal damnation! @#$%&*(random curse words) power to the linux community!
Hmmm my friend formatted his memory, but no longer has the software that he did that with... =\
Try this:
http://www.pendriveapps.com/format-fat32-larger-than-32gb/
If it failed try:
http://tokiwa.qee.jp/EN/Fat32Formatter/
Try the whole re-initialization thing...
If both failed, try to find something else which can destroy the partition table for the memory, then rebuild it using Disk Manager.

Having contact with sony right now on Twitter but what i do want to know how many people have had this issue here.
This morning after unplugging from USB my second SD card also failed.
Luckily it was only 1 GB and not corrupted like my 32 GB last sunday.
Its hard for me to believe this is a software issue, because i used :
10.1.1.A.1.253 on sunday taking pictures when it failed, and not readable in PC or other phone
10.3.A.0.423 since yesterday this version when it failed this morning, but readable after putting it back into phone
Hope your willing to add your comments here so i can show this to Sony themselves
Thx in advance
well the 4.1.2 was in the fat32 format however the 4.2.2 wants a "exfat" but becarefull since this format is very weird because in not always working due to the fact that the master table very messy therefore it might asking for the deframenting often. so it can lock it self 0x....
So re format to exfat and everthing should will be fine and there should be no issues .

Did that already not readable , and lockswitch is like your image
See image
Had a call to Sony Belgium, seems like its an issue they know about.
But they won't admit it right now or the lady I spoke didn't really know herself
She also said its a sofware issue. So in my case in two versions?
And Sandisk SD cards shouldn't have this problem.
Well one of my links provides an issue with Sandisk also.
So do yourself a favor and backup your SD card from time to time.

make sure you use other software such as this http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Partition-Master-Free-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html
Well that is strange because oddly enough that's looks like to me that the controller in sd is dead
well i got 64gb sd sandisk extreme cost over £120 which is full of movies and other customs room but i do back every month. And it is still on warranty both
i was planing to unlock the boot loader today and i am not going to do so
I triest this program also nothing works.
I had luck with sdformatter on a dead 1 gb card nut not on my 32 gb

I don't know this phone but I know Linux in general.
More than once I observed that phones are too weak to manage bigger filesystems like 32 Gb SD.
Their android is not designed for this purpose.
Possibly programmers shortsightedness.
For myself after having SD corrupted I splited 32Gb for 3 partitions - 8+10+14 Gb.
One is mounted in default way, I formatter it as VFAT, remaining two I made ext4 and mount via init.d script under two mount points.
Much better since then.

If something is damaged - even miracles have limitations.
What remains is to avoid future losses.
Additionally - if it is hardware problem - you can do nothing but to replace.

Nice update after talking on twitter to a dutch member of XperiaNL
Translation;
Own hardware putting into a Phone is own risk
How stupid this sounds like????
An SD Card cant work without a powered Phone. So the power of the Phone causus the problems with the SD card.
So if you buy a Sony DVD player and you put a dvd into it and the dvd gets broken its your own fault.
What was the situation with Xbox right Microsoft admitted after a while their Xbox did the same thing, and offered repair or replacement.
Not accusing you or what but do you take out your SD card out often?
SD card are really sensitive, a tiny scratch on the back of the SD card can cause it to malfunction. It happened to my mom's SD card, accidentally scratched off something and the SD card became useless.

NO SD Reader in your pc? Any family who does?
Try that first use SDformatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ to recover your files
Got SD card corruptions right after upgrading to 4.2.2. On 4.1.2 there were no problems for about 3 months.
