hi there
i had a sandisk sd card 512mb for a while, then i had broken the touchscreen. anyways. its fixed, but it had to be disassembled many times. anyways after those the card didn't work on device nor on my computer. so i thought it must have been the sd card. So:
i've bought trascend 150x 2gb sd card, formatted with fat(fat16) and when i am trying to put it into my pda it doesn't easily fit. i have to push it little harder.
after that windows prompts me whether i want to format it now. i've tried numerous times either formatted or not, my pda just does not recognize the sdcard. its not shown under explorer nor under settings.
what could be wrong? the sdcard works perfectly when i hook it up to my computer...
hmm very wierd. i tried again and again, it read the card and said that its 1.12gb after couple of seconds, i lost all again..
(
i had a simular problem a while ago.i did a hard reset and upgraded my phone at the same time.this did cure my xda.as to if it will yours im unsure

I installed Garmin XT on my Kaiser to try it out, got it to work but did not like it, I removed it but now every time I soft reset or restart the phone it asks me if I want to install Garmin XT, I have removed everything I can think of from the phone memory and from the storage card, but it still asks me, there is nothing in the startup folder I can think of that is doing this, can anyone give me a clue to what I can do to stop this pop up ?
Thanks in Advance
Look for a folder called 2577 on your Storage Card. It probably has an autorun.inf in it. Either delete it or rename it.
Just a blip, I spoke with a Garmin PDA specialist at CES last week and they will be making a version of the program that will run on a Kaiser WITHOUT needing a memory card, like the other mapping progs, finally! He said fairly soon, next few weeks/months.
One day my wizard decided to stop recognizing my 2gb Toshiba MiniSD card. I tried all the usual, formatting, etc... I even reflashed my wizard from TNT to Slim Edition, it still doesn't work (doesn't show up in file explorer, memory manager, nothing).
I'm confident this is not a hardware issue, the phone responds to the card being inserted/removed with the backlight.
Also, I have tried it with 2 other MiniSD cards (2gb Kingston and 16mb Kingston). All of these cards do work, recognized by both my laptop, other phone and digital camera.
Pls. help people! I need this to run TomTom
Thanks for any help!

So are you saying that the toshiba card is recognized by other hardware? and is any other cards recognized by your phone?

I believe he's saying all the cards are recognized by other hardware which obviously means that the problem is in the Wizard.
If warranty has expired i suggest dismantling the phone and clean all pieces carefully
EDIT:
found another post that might be of interest

cheers
Just to clarify, yes all the cards are recognised by everything apart from phone.
Yes, the phone is indeed out of warranty, I'll disassemble it then.
Thanks
Any luck with this? I've just had the same issue, remember this thread and came for help. In the meantime, I removed my SD, shut down the wizard for a few seconds and turned on again with no SD card. I put the SD card in my reader and defragmented it in Windows and when I put it back in the phone, it was recognized. I don't know if it's anything of the above but my SD now works. Good luck
Still no luck. Took apart phone, ensured contacts were clean, tried everything.
Then I formatted/defragmented all of my test cards in every combination possible.
Still no luck, they're recognised by everything apart from phone
oh also, just remembered... Before the card went awry, I was having battery drainage, and amongst other things I tried, were some SD power management drivers... Could it be something to do with that? are there different drivers I could try?

Why not a Hard-reset? or a new ROM?
tried both (first post)... still no luck... i'm looking into smaller partitions, but no luck with finding a tool to do it...
Same Problem...
Any news? I'm having the same problem... using a AMPv.2 G4 Wizard. I notice that other people are having this issue with other pdas... but i found no deffinitive solution ... So, post your ideas and let's try everything that cam make it work!
Same problem
Hello guys,
I have same trouble with my Qtek A9100! The original SD Card 512MB that came with is broken, don't format, don't delete files and don't accept any new files... so i buy a 2GB kingston, brand new, but don't recognize at first time in a B.D 3.1, after install SD card high capacity it work's...
After some time, my phone become locked in that 3 colored screen, only way to solve my problem is a change for a new one.
Now it's in a original rom, brand new, but don't recognize 2GB SD Card and don't accept SD card high capacity installation.
i don't like to update my rom again, but could this be the only way?
(sorry! my english is a little bit rusted!)

Yesterday my girlfriend told me all of a sudden her programs on her storage card stopped working. Well come to find out, it was like everything related to windows on the card was deleted somehow (program files, application data, etc.). She used to have the same card in a flip phone so the folders from that like music and pictures still exist. She hasn't changed anything on her phone, I usually do all that for her, so she wouldn't have done anything in that department.
Anyone heard of this happening before?
Any help would be greatful, I would like to possibly retrieve some files before I reformat the card.
Thanks in advance.
Step one: Buy a SD reader. You can get one on Ebay, Radioshack, etc. Very cheap. 5-25 dollars. I think 25 is even pushing it.
Step two: see if you can retrieve files with reader
Step three: after retrieving said files, format your SD card.
You forgot step four:
don't let girlfriends use technology and don't trust anyone when they say nothing happened
j/k
Very true. She sometimes can be a little thick, but with Windows mobile, who knows what can happen.
I've had the exact same thing happen to me. AT&T Tilt and 6GB Sandisk MicroSD.
File Explorer on the phone shows nothing on the card. Tried reading the card with a card reader on the PC and it also shows the card is blank. However, the Tilt's memory usage program still shows 3GB of memory is used on the card.

Same problem here (few times). Even change the SD card. Maybe something in power managment (kaiser tweak?)
Same problem here - lost a TomTom map just randomly - copied map back on, same files, same path.... still using and extra 1gb....
Good stuff...
Cart corrupting on Kaiser is often a problem, you can use a card reader and the soft R-Studio to try get your stuff back...it worked great for me =)
And after formating your card, try to install the Artemis plugin for Card corruption...=)

I have not heard about this plugin either. Interested!
I have had the same issue having lost tom tom maps pictures etc. I have actually installed the artemis card coruption fix as I had that phone b4 this one & it still has happened to me a few times. I am going to format card one last time & the phone from default & see if this occurs again, as I believe it to be caused due to excess heat from the device but that is only a hunch as each time it has occurred the phone has been red hot prior to this.
Guys,
have you ever had this experience? It just happpened to my Kaiser this morning. Yesterday it ran out of power and shutdown itself. When I am trying to start it this morning, it always stucks at the window mobile 6.1 screen.
I tried several times softreset, but it never goes up.
Until I found that I pull out my 4G SD card, everything goes well, it starts smoothly. also after I started it, I put SD card back, Kaiser can recognize it and make use of it. thats really wired.
what do you think would be the root cause of this? related to SPL or ROM?
I am using Dutty's Diamond V1 rom.
Please help. thanks in advance.
It might be worth backing up the card, formatting it and then restore it.
Something might have become corrupted when the power ran out.
Or, if you have a second card, try booting up with that one and see what happens.
EDIT: Took the quote out.
What happens when you re-insert the card and then navigate to the card? Does the device freeze? If it does, then alt236 is likely correct. It happened to me, and I simply reformatted the SD with my camera and all was well.
have you got htc home on it if you have then snap ive had the same this morning with a o2 stellar took it off and works fine

Yes indeed - and the lesson is don't install today screen or any start up items on the SD card. Or indeed any applications that connect to thye web - weather apps, mail apps etc.
I just tried to take off HTC home, but I still cant start Kaiser.
I am going to reformat my 4G SDHC, but need some accessory first that my old card reader doesnt support SDHC.
You can try using a trial of Card Export (http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/).
Oh, and I would avoid writing on the card until you back it up, as if it is corrupted, it can get worse.
i recommend using a card reader as there might be some system files in use by the os, Channon's comment was about htc home or start up applications.. so better be safe sided and use a usb card reader
btw try driver update for ur card reader - strange to hear that it does not support high capacity

I think it turns out Kaiser Micro SD reader became faulty...
I ordered a replacement main part...hopefully I could have a test later then I could demonstrate that it was the Kaiser reader problem.
i took out the card and did a reset(hard i think) and it was fine then tried it again then it was fine put in the card and yep it didnt work so card in a reader and took off htc home and worked fine.hermes home was the issues for me
