Help needed with SD card

---

I am running the original ROM my Trinity came with.
WM5
ROM Version - 1.23.405.2
Radio Version - 1.38.00.11

I have no reason to change or update the ROM (partly as i don't understand how to), everything runs really well with it. My GPS, WiFi etc all work a treat. Recently I bought a 4GB Transcend Mini SDHC card as my 2GB is nearly full.

When I loaded everything onto it, it worked no problem. My Trinity recognised it and everything worked. However, when I switched my Trinity off and later put it on many of my programs wouldn't run. I used File explorer on the PDA and some of the files had disappeared. A soft reset brought them all back (which is wierd) but these problems persisted. But a soft reset would make it all work again. A couple of times everything did disappear except 1 folder (my inbox attachments), and a soft reset did not help. When I put the card into my PC (running XP) this one folder was the only thing on the card. Yet all the memory was still used up. I reformatted the card (FAT32 was the only option) and loaded everything back onto the card and into my Trinity and things worked again, but the same problems keep happening.

From doing a search here I see some people have produced Cab files which sort change the settings for SDHC cards, but these seem to be mainly for WM6 ROM's. I can see the card and it works so is there a Cab file I should install to make it work well? Is it the card? (I suspect not as it always reformates and works initially)

Will I need to upgrade to WM6? If so which ROM? Are there instructions how to do this?

Are these problems still there with WM6?

If anyone can help that would be great.

I would prefer to be able to keep WM5 and find a solution so if you have one please share it.

Thanks

Same here...

Hi, I am in the same position exactly. I would prefer to stay with my original WM5 installation as I don't want to risk upgrading the ROM. However, I would love to be able to use SDHC cards of at least 4Gb without the normal problems.

Ideally I would like to get a 6Gb card - am I living in a dream world or is this possible with my Orange SPV-M700 running WM5. If anyone has had any luck with this I'd be really grateful to know how to solve the SDHC card reliability problem.

Thanks!

Ok - so I bought a Topram 4gb card from ebay, and it works so far. All my files are there and continue to be there. Only once over a 3 day period have I switched my Trinity on to find files not there. A quick reboot and everything works.

This card is not a SDHC card!

6 Gig works too (WM6)

Upgrading to WM6 isn't that hard. If you don't feel comfortable doing it then don't. You will just have to live with a smaller memory card capacity.

At the moment I'm using a wm6 rom with a micro 6 gig sdhc card with a mini converter. so I can use this 6 gig card in my next phone .... (Forward thinking
