Hi,
I've just received a 2GB Kingston card to use in my XDA IIi, however when I insert it, it doesn't pick it up at all - anybody got some advice maybe?
You always lose some space when it gets "formatted"...
Thanks for that Mike but does that mean I have to format it in a card reader / writer before I will actually be able to use it in the XDA?
Hi,
Does XDA2i support 1G SD card? I tried but it doesn't show up in the explorer.... Can someone help? Many thanks!!

1 GB Dane-elec Xs work fine on my Qtek 2020i(XDA2i)
you may format card before use
I have you tried any other card in your XDA IIi.
I have a DANE-ELEC 1 GB SD card and a INOV8 512 MB cards
and both work well.
Sorry I can't be of more help

Kingston 2 GB (30651-001.A00LF p799861x01)work as well,
maybe i should have purchase a 4 GB :wink:
Scandisk 1GB SD card working fine!
transcend 2gb 150x absolutely fine work =))
maybe you have bad card? or maybe format it via cardreader can help..
My Kingston 2GB works great on the device, might be a case of a bad card for you, tried it on any other devices?
Worked
I use Kingston 1Gb SD card... 50x and it works fine... maybe your battery is dying
I think theres still a 4gb SD card at work which I'll give a go tomorrow if I get a chance.
I work at CeX in Brighton, England, and we get a lot of different types of memory cards in. So far I'm just using a standard SanDisk 512mb card, but will eventually get a 2 or 4gb (the 4gb we have is £120 >.<)
Kingston SD Card 1GB works fine on my XDA IIi. What brand do you use anyway?
XDA IIi definately supports up to 4gb (150x) cards.
I just got a "Topram' 4gb 150X...despite formatting both via card reader and my device it will not read...
Does it show the card size in the Memory cp? Or can you just not transfer files to and from it?
neither...as soon as I insert it into the 2i I am asked to format it to make the card ledgible...so I agree...but it still does not show up at all. Neither in memory size menu or file explorer.
I have formatted it via card reader on the compeuer too...It accepts files via card redaer so the card itself is ok.
But every single time I insert it into the PDA it asks me to format it again and it never shows up.
bit off topic but as anyone else had a problem with SD/MMC cards working for a while (sometimes as little as 6 months other times over a year) then totaly stopping ie show as not being there in any card reader, only to come back to life after about 12 months stuck in a draw. I have had this with 2 cards so far and got 1GB card in the draw at the moment which stopped working just as I put some important files onto it
SD Cards
I have a 4GB Transcend, 2GB SanDisk and a 512MB Unbranded and they all work perfectly fine in my xdaIIi, maybe your card reader is a bit iffy?
EDIT: By card reader I mean the bit that you insert the card into the xdaIIi
It may simply be certain makes of cards that work, and certain that dont. All you can do is hope the retailers let you try before you buy

erm... u made sure u formated them as FAT not FAT32? i had no end of probs with my 2020 when i did that, and the 1gb unbranded card i have in my 2020i is FAT and works fine, as most hand helds and camera (i use it in my konica/minolta SLR digital, it hates FAT32 file systems too) format them as that and jobs a good one!
Hi XDA Gurus,
Recently when i was trying to install TomTom 5 on my O2 XDA IIi, suddenly my XDA stopped recognizing the external Memory Card. I tried with different memory card still it doesnt recognize. What could be the proble is it something to do with plugins? have i lost any plugins. Earlier i used to have Storage Card folder in my device but its no more exists. Please help me sorting this out. Do i need to format my external Memory Card.
Cheers,
Suresh
I had the same problem with storage cards and alpine. I noted that Kingston cards are easier to be recognized by alpine and Dane-elec are the hardest. Just try to remove and reinsert the card several times. It's anoying but works. after each reinsertios you can wait some time since the device lasts some time to recognize card.
no use
I have tried it so many times. so far trying to insert different memory cards. still it doesnt recognize any.
Have you tried soft resetting the device?
I had that problem and after soft resetting the card can be recognized again.
I use Transcend 2GB SD.
No use mate.
Thanks for your comments. But no use mate. i have tried it 100 times. still it doesnt, it seems like there is some problem with my Set. Memory card is working fine. I dont know if anything stuck in the memory card slot and its stopping from proper connection. Or i lost the drivers. How to upgrade the software on my xda IIi. or reinstall the drivers. Please help me in fixing this problem. Its all happened when i tried to install Tomtom on the system. damn softwares.
Cheers.
Suresh
Does this SD card work in a card reader. I have found that some of the cheaper SD cards dont last very long especialy if removing and replacing them alot.
Been using transcend 80x slc cards for a whiel and had no problem with them.
I use tomtom, also constantly writing video and mp3s to the cards so far they have outlasted any other make I have had.
Yes.
Yes. i am using this in my camera. I can read and write to the card using other devices. The card which i received from O2 is also not being recognizing.
Cheers,
Suresh
Hi,
just clean the SD card slot thoroughly,it might help.
Hopefully an easy question for someone to answer! Will the Kaiser read a SanDisk 8GB MicroSDHC card?
On another point, I have a 4GB MicroSD that no device can read anymore. I cannot reformat it as it does not show up on the device (PC, PDA or anything!). Any ideas?

1. yes
2. ??
1. Thats what I have
2. Broken card, throw it away?
Hmmm
1. Been running that for a while.
2. Make sure your PC Reader can support MicroSD before deciding that the PC can't read it (hint - putting the microSD card into the Sandisk larger shell does NOT make it a regular SD card). If you are POSITIVE your computer can read a MicroSD card, and it doesn't register, then toss the card.

Corrected above - the adapter DOES turn a MicroSD into an SD, AND a MicroSDHC into an SDHC. But, not all readers can read the HC cards (4GB and more).

This has been asked many times and the answer remains yes (the same for the 16 GB version - I use one with my TyTN II).

When you say 'anymore', whats changed? Are you still using the same microSDHC -> SDHC adapter that the card came with and a suitable SDHC compatible reader when testing it on your PC? If so, it's time to get in touch with the company that sold it to you for a warranty claim.
I had a similiar problem. While moving some music over to my 8 gig SD brand card it failed after about 3/4 of the files and then dissapeared. I've tried soft reseting and popping the card in and out and I can't get my phone to recognize it.
I need to get a new usb adapter b/c the I don't think the one I have is hc compatable (it's a few years old) so I have no idea if my computer will recognize it directly. Does this sound like a card issue or phone issue.
Running ATT WM6.1 minus bloat with a few programs (all of which have been running for a week or so no problems). Sorry to hijack, I just didn't want to open a new thread and get flamed.
i got a 4gb micro SDHC, its a sandisk. i got it to upgrade from my 2gb sd, i have read that the HC cards (sorry if the card is in the acronym) are compatible with tytn II's.
it wasn't with my original rom, and now i have tried to new roms both of which wont recognise it at all. is there anything i can do?

Since this morning my device is telling me that no Storage Card is inserted. I didn't change anything and the SD has been inside the device all the time. I bought the device around april 2008. I still have to test the card on my PC at home, but I wanted to check what my chances are. What is a bigger change? That the SD card just died on me or that my device has a hardware problem?
Funny thing is that yesterday I flashed to a diffrent ROM. I did a hard reset, still no luck. Flashed with an entirely other ROM, still no luck. So I am hoping its just the SD card that broke. Would be strange if flashing a ROM would cause the SD card hardware inside the device to fail the next day.

Try to reformat the sd card with fat32. That helps sometimes.

My laptop has a SD reader but it doesnt even map the card to a drive like it usually does. Any tools that I can use?
I already ordered a 8 gig MicroSD which should arrive tomorrow.
I'm not ready to blame my Tilt for my mSDHC problems but it sure seems like theres a lot of posts out there here and other places about people having memory card problems with their Tilt. I"m going to try again but if another memory card fails I'm sending my tilt back and hopefully I can demand to at least upgrade to a Fuze for a cost.
Funny this thread came up as my 4 gig card crapped out on me recently and is unrecogniseable to any device after running the sdhc cab on it. But yea, 8 gig works just fine. Using a 16 gig now with smooth sailing
Hy
i am a bit new so... i have a question...
i bought my tytn II and i got the micro SDHC 4GB class 6 card with phone,on this card is gps software cardinale 2.5. as i am a stupid guy i managed to lost the card with software. i bought a new card but it is a class 2 card and i coppied cardinale from my frends card and it is not working on my phone... my question is... is it the thing with class 2 card so i need to buy a class 6 so my gps can work or i am F...ed? i tried my frends card with cardinale on it and it worked...
Thanx
Class 2, class 4 and class 6 just refer to the sped that the card can transfer or write data.
The Tytn II will work with cards of any class, so that isn't your prolem I'm afraid. You should still be able to see your card and view the files in file explorer....
Perhaps the new card needs formatting as FAT first? It might be formatted in a way that the TYTN can't read it...
There may be some instances where speed (class) made a difference, bu tit shouldn't stop the application working - and even if that was an issue - you should still be able to view the files on the card using explorer. If you can't do that the card may be faulty...
