more memory card corruption!!!!
 

so since there are alot of new roms out there, are there still memory card corruption issues? I am about to take the step. I basically like my stock rom except the damn memory card has been messing up every 2 weeks or less. How close is the merged wm6 and the 6.1 rom to the stock sprint rom? and one more question...will i still lose my msl code on these new roms?

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

yep i just got corruption and this time it's bad. The card is totally unusable so I have to buy a new card. SO will see when my card gets here.

I have WM 6.1.

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

damn...no difference. 6.1 has the same problem

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

I'm not sure what's causing the problem, I haven't had any corruption at all, even with the stock ROM.

I know one thing that was rumored to cause it was having emails stored on the memory card instead of the internal memory.

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

maybe i will try switching the email back to the internal memory

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

I have email stored in internal memory and still having this issue.

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

so it doesnt matter if you have wm6 or wm6.1, and it doesnt matter where the emails get stored to. And it doesnt matter what size card you have. this part is getting tiresome. I use my music almost everyday at the gym and i hate when i show up at the gym and i can use my card. I wonder if sprint has a fix in the works.

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

I wonder if the type of card matters, if there's certain brands that work and some that don't.

I think mine was a Kingston 4gb SDHC card from Best Buy.

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

I get this problem all the time as well and it seems to happen primarily when you listen to music that's stored on the card. For me, it seems to happen frequently if I pause something and leave it paused for a while.

So the question for you since you say you don't have any issues...how often do you listen to music on your Touch?

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

Sometimes I listen to it alot, but I usually don't pause it and leave the HTC AudioManager open very long, I'll usually close AudioManager.

A few weeks ago I listened to it for a couple hours on a plane ride, twice. Before that I would listen to it for 30-60 minutes while working out.

So I wouldn't say I listen to music alot, but I do use it. I have about 200 songs on my card.

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

That's what causes it. You leaving it paused for a while means the phone goes to sleep while reading from the card. That's the problem.

Again, the problem is caused when the phone goes to sleep while reading or writing to the card. If you listen to music while working out, just use a screen blanking program or set an option in TCPMP or CorePlayer to blank the screen. You will never have card corruption that way. Just remember to never hit the power button while listening to music.

the prob lies with THE FILE EXPLORER system in wm6 (the filesys.exe process) i had one corruption issue and it was because i left my file explorer in a storage card directory. I noticed it when i opened resco and directed to the storage card and saw the corrupt data. i then opened the windows file explorer and it opened in my DCIM folder on my card. It seems to open up to the directory you last were in. Ever since then Ive avoided the wm6 file explorer or if i must use it, i exit out of it when im not currently accessing a storage card directory.

im using a 8gb Sandisk MicroSD w/ 1560.50 MB free
Sprint stock rom
yes i do have S2U2 installed.

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

No, that's not the cause.

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

Hippity is correct

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

Well, I'm having an issue where my music and pics are wiped out, the only thing that remains on my microSD is some folder that's titled "Inbox.d#$#" can't remember what is after the Inbox part. I saw what MindFrost mentioned about the e-mail being stored on the card so I changed that and I feel that will probably fix my issue. As for listening to music and then hitting the power button, that's never caused an issue for me while using S2P anyway, S2P seems to integrate nicely with S2U2 also, works great.

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

Well, it seems the new model of Touch, the Diamond, will have 4 gigs of internal storage. There's no mention of a card slot. So HTC's fix appears to be hard wiring memory in, thus avoiding the extremely delicate little fingers that contact the gold plated terminals of your memory card and have to pass tons of precise data to and from storage. Faulty terminal contact may not be the only cause of trouble, but several experiences with corruption in my own Touch have led me to believe it's a major culprit.

Re: more memory card corruption!!!!
 

based on my own experience, the only time that I my memory card gets corrupted is if I leave the music player running in the background and soft reset my phone with it open. After the first couple of times it happened, I know make sure to close out of the audio program after using it and I havn't had a problem since. Good luck.

Personally, I have a "SanDisk 8GB microSDHC w/ MobileMate micro Reader" bought from Buy.com.
I have always used it on my Vogue regardless of the ROM (currently on DHarveys 6.1 Black Vista) and still good and dandy.
I have tons of pix and music, a few large videos (over 500MB) and many applications running of the card, including storage for email attachments. I listen to my music every day on my way to work on the metro and back. I use Windows Player, GSPlayer, CorePlayer. No problems.
The only one time I had a problem with this card, was not on the phone though. I was using the reader on my laptop to rip a DVD directly to the card, and it didn't like it. I contacted SanDisk support (totally useless and ridiculous) and they referred me to the RescuePro thieves... yeah, they want to sell you a half-*** product to profit on your problems... I said no way, i formatted the card and never looked back.
I am sorry I am not giving you answers. But at least, I hope this post helps to determine what should NOT be an issue with your card.
And if you still have the issues, stick to your PIM backups and hopes.
