2.0 Gig Micro SD card problem with Wing

---

Hi Guys

I don't post much here and I tried doing a search on this before so if I missed it, PLEASE BE GENTLE WITH ME


My question/problem is that I bought a SanDisk 2.0 gig Micro SD card for the Wing. I started to add stuff to it via the ActiveSync program for the Wing. After awhile though, I received a "not enough memory" type of error message, saying that the "disk is full" and to remove programs before I can add anymore. I checked the storage on the card and I didn't even use a quarter of the storage on the card. I remember that this happened to me with the MDA when I bought a 2gig card and T-mobile told me that they really didn't support 2gig at the time. So I bought a 1gig and the same thing happened.

I figured it was a problem with the MDA. But it's happening on the Wing as well.


I go Tools> Explore Pocket PC> Mobile Windows Device. From there, I click on the Storage Card folder.


I'm only trying to add stuff to the storage card, not run any programs. I am storing themes and 30 second mp3 clips to use as Ring tones and pictures.


When I try copying one of those files from my computer to the Storage Card folder, I receive the following error message:


"Cannot copy xxxxx: There is not enough free disk space.
Delete one or more files to free disk space and then try again".


I called T-Mobile and they could not figure out what was wrong.


Then they said that it could be because I am using a SanDisk card.

Can someone tell me if this is true? Also, how are you guys doing it?

Any info would be greatly appreciated


Any suggestions? Hints?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I have a 2 gig micro sd on my wing as well (though it is a Transcend brand) and it has been working fine for me all the time.

Try the card on a card-reader and make sure the card is fine.

Try to use a Card reader! i do not have any solutions if you wish to leave the card in your herald though..

Had the same problems with my 2GB SanDisk, suddenly the free space kept on shrinking.
I deceided to backup my XDA and did a hardreset.
So far I have no problems anymore , but I still can't read the SanDisk with all my cardreaders in the PC on Windows.
Out of 6 (including the built-in in my Notebook) only one can read that card. With Linux I had no problems at all.

Where did you buy Sandisk Memory from is the real question. If you got it from Ebay then chances are you've been had.

No, I bought it from Best Buy. Stupid thing cost me $75.00

I'm going to try that Linux reader and see if that does the trick. If not, what about reformatting the card?

That was another thing. T-Mobile tried walking me through that, but when I tried to reformat it via ActiveSync, I did not have that option when I right-clicked on the Storage Card folder.

Holy Crap! You paid alot for that! Newegg.com for like $25.00 and 3 day shipping sometimes it comes faster. I would order from Newegg and return that one.

I came across the same issue the other day, but unplugging and then plugging my Wing back in solve it.

In case you're interested Transcend is the memory I'm using and so far I'm happy with it. Just wish the Wing had more on-board memory. Program memory gets eaten up so fast.

Hi

I know. I have SUCKER written across my forehead. LOL!!


How did you get the files on the card? I know that might sound like a stupid question, but I am running out of ideas here. Im going to look into the card that you have.


Thanks

Try different card readers (ask your friends or maybe you neighbors). Those xx-in-1 readers should work well. Those USB-Stick like card readers didn't do the job for me as long as I use them under Windows.

try re-formatting the SD card ...then see if that works .. if not, return it ... go buy a Kingston 2gb MicroSD ...it works fine on my wing. .. i bought mine for $40 ... never had a problem with it.
