Sprint beta 3.16.651.0 microSD problems?

[xdalurk]

I've been running the leaked 3.16.651.0 ROM on my Sprint Mogul for a little less than month now. A problem I've seen (only twice) is that the microSD card just 'disappears'. Both native file explorer and Resco file explorer say it isn't there when I try to navigate to it. Problem is resolved with a soft reset.

I don't run programs from the card so I wouldn't notice it is missing unless I'm specifically working with files on it, which isn't too often. The fact that I've seen this twice (out of maybe 20 times working with the card) just had me wondering if anyone else has seen this. I'm using the 8GB Sandisk SDHC card. Since I just got the phone, and updated to the ROM about the same time I got the card, I have no experience with the card running on stock ROM

I've never had that problem (leaked or official ROM), but I seem to remember my old 6700 had issues like that when I installed voicecommand.

you should do a search cause alot of people with dcd rom based on the new rom had the same issue i think you have to not use encryption or something

Try installing this:

It's supposed to help your phone function with the larger Micro SD HC cards.

correct me if im rong, i thought the mogul supported up to 8gb so why would you need the patch

[eXplicit815]

Originally, it wasn't supposed to. It would only support up to 2GB. Coincidentally, it works, but will have it's days that it won't. This is to ensure that it works constantly.

I am running M$ Voice Command (1.60.4622.0) and did see this on rare occasion on my old 6700 too, but didn't investigate back then. I have not turned on encryption. There hasn't been a problem recognizing the 8GB capacity, just with it completely disappearing. It isn't a large problem, but even one disappearance seems odd.

I'll try collecting some baseline stats on how often it is disappearing by going to it regularly, and then try suggestions to see if things change for the better.

Any suggestions on places I should look beyond using file browsers (stock, Resco) and start>settings>device information>memory>storage card to see if the card is being recognized? I'll also try card re-insert vs. soft boot when it is gone to see if that brings it back. Thanks for the suggestions

Ran fine yesterday, saw problem today (last soft reset 1d2h ago). Additional details on symptoms on this particular failure: File browser: sees top level folders on storage card. In some of these lower level folders and files appear, in some not. Nothing consistent with respect to levels down where things start disappearing but I couldn't get to any folders or files more than two levels down. start>settings>system>memory>storage card shows capacity of card as 7782.5MB (correct), same amount as in use (incorrect), and 0 free. Popping the card out and in resolved the problem. Next time it fails I'll see what Pocket Mechanic can see with respect to the card when it goes out.

I did a search on 'storage card disappears'. Seems this is a problem folks experience across phones and WM5/WM6 PPCs. May even be the card. Didn't come across any explanations of the problem or fixes (some registry hacks related to thinking it is a new or old card, that were later discounted in the thread, but even if true, the new/old card isn't the problem as I'd still expect to see files if it were a new card). e.g., http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1138270. From what I found searching, its something I live with for now. I'm pretty sure it isn't anything specific to 3.16.651.0 ...
