It's only become a problem when my scheduled backup doesn't happen because a)Sprite backup is installed on the card and b) the backups are stored on the card so there is no place to backup! I do keep a copy of Sprite in my ExtROM, but it's not much help if there is no place to put the backup file.
It's also been noticed when I try to play a game that is on the card isn't found.

Would also be helpful to know whether you selected SD or SDHC drivers in the kitchen and whether or not you have another card to try.

I second the advice on cleaning out the SD slot--especially if your PPC has spent any length of time without a card in there--it's basically a big dust trap.

Thanx for the help post #206.
All works great but now sprinttv giving the unauthorized user error. looked through the sprinttv forum and they gave advice but not clear whether the update and cache strategy works with kitchen cause there is not folder for sprinttv under program files. any advice?

My phone volume is constantly resetting itself to the lowest setting, which results in me missing calls. It does not seem to have anything to do with the slide. It resets itself when it is just sitting in the charger. Any ideas?

From the screenshots, there is supposed to be a folder for Hbutton, with more icons inside.
There is a new version 2.1 http://hbutton.pavlicek.org/downloading.jsp
Installing it to my extended ROM has it partially working. Adds the folder and icons. The old icon is still in Programs. Opens the old program 2.0, but it doesn't work. The new one does, but so far, only the first application actually comes up.
If I flash another WM6 ROM, I will leave this one out of the Kitchen unless it gets fixed or updated.
I will also try installing to the main memory rather than Extended ROM.
Edit: Even in main memory, only the first application opens.

Have you tried a soft reset?

If so, then your solution is likely the best until a new OEM is made.

The cache fix will not work with the version in the kitchen, it only works with then newest version.

The cab and cache folder is all included in one rar...

Edit:
Scratch that. Even the new version doesn't work anymore. Sprint likes to break it on their end.

I have tried several different RUU versions even the no id one and still no luck flashing my apache. I had previously flashed it with wm6 5.2.1620 build 18125.0.4.2. I have bootloader version 2.02. When i sync it thinks this is a ppc-6800. The newest version on Helmis Kitchen will not reconize the device I get error 101. I tried premade roms and i get the same error. I tried disabling USB on activesync and i disabled advanced network functions on the ppc. Still No luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Now that's what I call a kitchen update!

Try flashing just the 6700 radio from the stock ROM. Then try the stock ROM again.

Wow - you messed with this a lot! I'm really bummed it's not working correctly. Thanks for the effort and for posting. I've been wondering if it was an error on my part.

I had a similar problem to yours, I cleaned the contacts of the CD card with a Qtip and rubbing alcohol, and (carefully) aimed a shot of compressed (air with a small plastic tube) to blow the dust out of the slot. I believe you can buy small cans for dusting off keyboards, etc.

My card is back to normal. May be coincidence, but it won't hurt.

Be careful with the air, tho.

Trying this now.

I selected the regular SD drivers. I'm using an old 1Gb that is almost always in there. I do have a generic 2Gb card that I could try, but it's not something that I would keep in for an extended period of time as I mostly use it for music/data. The current card is for backups, some programs and cabs of programs that install but don't want to keep installed in main memory.
