virus on wing!?!?

---

hey guys/ girls i have a serious problem.. i think i have a virus on my wing or something... it was working fine for the 1st four days i had it then i just happend to check storage card memory and all my music, pics, videos, etc are gone plus i have these weird lookin empty folders in my storage card that i didnt put there that have squares, number signs and dollar signs for the name... its about 10 of them and i cant delete them... plus to top it off.. its murdering my memory....i have a 2 gig card i checked it n it said i only have like 16 mb left n it seems like every couple of hours i lose a mb in program memory (side bar: i hard reset and soft reset my wing a few days ago 2 get rid of the tmo bull so i started with like 30mb storage and 15mb program plus a 2 gig card) ... so im thinkin wtf?! cuz all i have installed on there is the chi- tai battery status plugin which has been working fine, spb back up, spb mobile shell, and google maps and they are all installed on the storage card, and i know this takes no where near 2 gigs and yes i already soft reset and even tried a hard reset but no luck it was all working fine until last night.. so i am asking for:


1) any idea what is going on with my baby?!? lol
2) any ideas/ apps to fix this cuz im freakin out right now
3) any ways i can avoid this from happening again

It sounds to me like your storage card is getting corrupt... which is not uncommon due to some bug. Look at some of the posts for "corrupt storage card"

here's one of them

you might have to repurches a new one

when i changed roms, i copied all the non-corrupt folders to the computer, then formatted the card. everything has been fine since then =)

Before you go and toss your SD, try this formatter program from Panasonic. It fixed my card time after time.

BTW, dont use FAT32 for the format. Use plain FAT which is actually FAT16.

1) Nope. and thats not from lack of research or trials
2) I have nothad a problem for a week since I loaded the Touch_IT ROM. The ROM is sweet.
3) Again, Nope. As long as I ran the Tmobile ROM, I kept getting the SD corruption.

Good luck and if you still cannot fix your problem, try the Touch_IT ROM with a 6mb pagepool . It's fast and increses memory by a bunch.

your wing is not resonding

have you tried a clear storage under setting and then system this sends the device intototal reset and all factory settingd...

I might be pushing my luck.... but ever since I stopped having my tmobile wing write mail attachments, camera pics, and Iexplorer temp files to the SD card I have not had a corrupt sd.

Could be luck, but it's been weeks now. Whereas before my SD would end up corrupt several times a week.

Would prefer a cab patch for this or something to that effect.

All I did to mine to fix it was, back it up, reformat it with the builtin winxp formating program and pop it back in. Hasn't happened since then.
