Who has NOT had memory card issues with the Touch? - Page 11

Ok, been folowing this thread ever since my SD card crashed on me and is a garbled mess. Is there any hope of recovering my data. Not so much the music downloads that i paid for, but the many photos i took and had yet to backup. I never thought my saved photos on my sd card would get erased. Any recovery tools that can sucessfully recover the data from my card or should i just forget about it and move on?

I posted over there - we'll see what happens. The link you posted wasn't correct, though.

Anyone have this issue. It stopped when I deleted half the pics in that folder.

I solved my own problem with the photo album. There was one photo (a jpg) that would close photo album for some reason. First I removed all the pics from \100MEDIA with Total Commander. Then I moved them back into the 100MEDIA folder 5 at a time and opened photo album to check if the bad photo was one of the five. And wouldn't you know it, the corrupted photo was one of the last five I moved. After I deleted that one everything was fine.

I've had the problem of garbled and missing folders 3 times in the past month.
Soft-reset only worked once.
I woke up with it this way today.
I can't even delete the garbled folders since it thinks they're system files or read-only.
I even booted into Safe Mode with iLauncher and tried to delete them but it still won't work.
I guess I'll need to copy over to my PC what I still have, format, and copy back.
I hope they get a hold of this.

Well...kept on having data corruption problems, but soft reset would "fix" it...but tonight, it didn't...so I had to plugin my MicroSD card into my PC and run GetDataBack in order to retrieve its contents...looks like I'll need to keep a daily backup on my PC in case stuff happens like this...

No, you missed the point: S2U2 has nothing to do with the corruption. The device can be put to sleep with the WM power settings and/or power button.

Besides, even if you did manage to leave the phone "awake" all the time, you'd end up with a battery life of merely a few hours - hardly a solution!

You couldn't be more wrong.

The thing that has helped my corruption is that I removed my nightly backups. Therefore if the card is grabled, you wont write to it without your knowledge. Therefore a soft reset always fixes it. Then I manually run a backup 1-2 times per week and copy to computer for safe keeping.
