Warning! WM2003 Pictures application will erase your SD card

[Qman]

Ok this is warning to all how have upgraded their PPCPE to WM2003.

It was been determined that the new 'Pictures' application will erase/format your SD card without any warning if the 'Detect digital camera storage cards' option is turned on. I should know because it has already happened to me and a few others as reported in the xda-developers forum thread listed below:
http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1778

So it is HIGHLY suggested that everyone should turn off / disable this option ASAP!

Dear,
I confirm it is not the picture application that erases all data in the sd card. Let's listen to my story. My SD card has been erased 4-5 times so far. The first 2 were thought to be attributable to the "detect digital cam" option in the picture prog, so I turn the option off. It worked fine for several hours until I installed my external keyboard driver that is incorporated with an option of either keyboard or infrared connection. The option was infrared on default, so I switched back to keyboard and that was when my 3rd time sd wipeout occurred. Then I decided to uninstall the driver (Since I thought it was responsible for the wipeout). My 4th and 5th times were completely free of all these problem softwares. I completely lost faith in this rom version and start looking for ways to restore my prior rom version of 3.17. If you know how (I don't have a sd reader), please advise. I am nearly desperate :evil: Thanks

I have the same issue and all else with ppc2003 seems to be fine. I have only had one erasure so far but I have only had it installed for about 12 hours. How oftern did you card get erased and over what length of time? Thanks.

P.S. I am backing up my storage card intermittently just to be safe now.
