SD Card speed test app - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps

Can any of you geniuses develope an app that can test transfer speeds of the SD card. I think this would be extremely usefull for us HD2 users.

Windows Phone 7 SD Card Test
May not be possible. Windows phone 7 locks down the SD,
The best chance is testing the SD card in Windows PC (x86 or x64)

Testing the SD card on a Windows PC will only tell you how fast it works on a Windows PC. Some SD cards work on a WP7 and some don't, those that do have different speeds even if they are the same class.
I'm no expert on this but surely its just a matter of starting a timer, copying a 1MB/2MB file from one location to another and when complete stopping the timer. A little bit of maths and bingo bongo you've got you're speed test??

Well you could, but that time would be pretty inaccurate. It's affected by reaction speed of the person with the stop watch and background processes of the system being used for the transfer.
But it's better than nothing I suppose. Give it a shot!

Are you serious!
I don't think you understand how coding and timers in code are triggered and work.

How safe is data on MicroSD/SDHC?

Every once in a while I'm having the same sort of problem whith my storage card, whether it's MiniSD, MicroSD or SDHC. To be more precise some/all files disappear leaving nothing but some bloody FILE*.CHK files, which seem to be completely useless. I did some google-search and there seems to be no practical way of retrieving the lost data.
I'm curious: why is it happening in the first place and has anyone been successful in combatting this issue? (don't tell me about backups )
I have yet to have a problem with the mem card in my Kaiser. it is a 6Gb Sandisk. Do you have an off-brand?
My old HTC Sable had issues like you describe...
arent .chk files left over by scandisk on a windows box?
this could be due to not ejecting the hardware before removing it from the pc!
under what circumstances are you experiencing this
Yes when combatting this issue I find that handguns are useless and shotguns are all the rage. When trying to do the official combat I like to taunt the problem a bit with the pistol (which just makes it mad) and then go all out with the shot gun. It's always good to have someone else at your side with a missle launcher or something, ya know, for the hardcore combat.
.CHK files are recovered file fragments from Scandisk. I would try a low level format of your SD card and then reformat as FAT32 (for the love of ____, do not use NTFS). NTFS is not designed for removable media and will give you nothing but headaches.
How do you low level an SD card. You only really hear about that with SCSI drives now days, Or do you mean a full format?
im not sure that the post that says dont format ur sd card as ntfs is accurate, while it may be true that a windows mobile device will probably not recognise this disc at all, i use an sd card formatted as ntfs in a laptop with no problems!
try hdtune @ www.hdtune.com/ this might be useful!

You can use an SD card reader with a PC and use a program such as Boot/Nuke to do a DoD-certified erase of the contents.

You can format removable media with NTFS, but you need to be extremely careful since NTFS is constantly caching data from the drive. Unless you disable write-back caching or eject the card each time prior to removing it (which cannot be done on a phone), you run a high risk of corrupting the data on it.
The problem with NTFS on removable media seems to be a windows issue. Not sure if that is windows mobile as well but it also seems to be fixed in a service pack. If I were having problems I wouldn't be using something with user rights and permissions on a device that does nothing with that.

Forgot to mention when trying to fix this I used the windows disc-check utility, but initially problem started after I installed one of the games (Tomb Rider I think) and the battery power was down to 2-3% when I turned my Kaiser off. I couldn't access the programm files folder from ppc, and it was empty when I opened it on pc...except there was tombrider.exe left...

Hmmm, interestingly it doesn't display the file system in the properties menu like it would for the hard drives... but I'm pretty sure I didn't format the card...unless was formatted NTFS when first inserted in a device...

If you didn't format it, then it would be FAT32 formatted by default.

You installed the games in the MicroSD, right?
I experienced it twice, sorted out that it happens when I'm using an application that installed in the MicroSD and then turned the device off. The strange thing that it is only occurred when using a large sized and resource extensive application (especially games), it doesn't happen when using light application such as YahooGo!, MapKing, etc. I end up to install all apps in main memory, and lived peacefully (finger crossed)
I hoped someone could explain why this happen, even better cured it

Actually you still can save your files, it still there just with mixed up name and extention
1. Sort the file by it's file size, you could get an idea what file it was by it's size
2. Change the file extention according to what you think it supposed to be judging by its size, ie:
small file to *.txt and open it with notepad, read what's in it and change it to what it's supposed to be .pwi, .xls, etc
2 - 6 MB files to *.mp3
etc
I know it's painful especially with my 2GB data, also you cannot saved your application this way, but I saved my most recent and important data this way, for the rest I just have to satisfy with my 1 month old backup
If anyone could suggest better way, pleaseee let me know
Just happen again
[email protected]!!! me and my big mouth... it just happen again this morning, same thing, install app in storage card, device turned off and wham!
But this time I did some googling and found this utility really helpfull
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download
Well, anyone could explain what caused it and how to prevent it?
Any information will be appreciated
Thanks

Yes mate! Sounds very much like what happened here - after intstalling Tomb Rider (4-6MB) in the MicroSD I launched it and then soft reset - my program files vanished...And I dont think I could do anything about that, the .CHK files I got after running the checkdisc utility were all the same size - 32kb, something to do with the cluster size I think...
I guess the question of the cause and the way to prevent it remains open...
Bump
No one can help?
Anyone also experienced this problem? Please tell us your experience, who know we could sort out something

Can Use kaiser as Usb mass storage ??

Yes, slower than a normal card reader, but 10 times faster than ActiveStink.
But calculate the time it takes to power your phone down, remove the card, stick it in a normal card reader, transfer files as needed, put it back in the phone, power back up.
With Card Export, I click on an app button and plug into my pooter.
Some of us are even geeky enough to have the flash card bootable.
Mine loads BartPE, and has all of the Windows XP Source files on it, so I can now boot any system, perform maintenance on it using the BartPE image and utilities, and even reinstall Windows XP Pro from my phone.
I do IT work for a living.

Too much information, as in, irrelevant to the thread? Or too much information, as in "Whoah Nellie! You ARE a geek, and it blows my mind!"
In short, to answer the OP's initial question.
YES. You can use the HTC Kaiser/AT&T Tilt/Orange/anything else it is sold under, as a USB flash drive for a PC, by using a program that you install on the phone.
WM5Storage does not work for me. It will not load the card as usable. I ended up using CardExport, and paid for it. I love it.
thanks... sorry because i m new bie..
Code
The card export needs a code to funtion properly is that version cracked?

Card Export is payware. It is worth the money, for as often as I use it. No crack.
They just require that you have an Owner Name set on your device. The Owner Name has to match the name used to register it to receive a key.
Card export installs a universal usb driver that it installs to your device and utilizes. I use it and it works on every machine I've tried it on. It's a very good program and worth paying for.
wm5torage is similar software but does not include a driver... either you have it or you don't (hence it sometimes doesn't work)
warez, I hear warez!!!

SDHC corruption problem

My 16gb sandisk card got corrupted yesterday and apparently it has something to do with this file EncFiltLog. I cannot copy anything to the card, cannot delete anything from the card and cannot format it. I found the solution in Blackstone forum...but as a kaiser owner I cannot benefit from it because we don't have DISK MODE on kaiser. Apparently it's been cooked in a few new roms for kaiser but Disk mode doesn't work. Has anyone successfully fixed this on kaiser? I,ve spend 60 pounds on the card and I don't feel like buying another one especialy if the problem might occur again.

PROBLEM:
Now, the problem all started when try to format the micro SDHC on the phone or on the PC with card reader.
Tried with differ format program also low level not worked.
DONT USE THESE!!! Waste of time!!!
SOLUTION:
So after doing some thinking about the situation, I figured that there was a problem with the card inserted and find the file EncFiltLog on it.
It is the WM 6.1 encription file. You can't delete, move files from or in to the SDHC.
The best way to solve this issue, as the hard-reset DOES NOTHING to fix this issue, would be to have windows hopefully find the connected device and format it. Here are the EASY steps which DO NOT involve using a dozen computers and has provided the same result EVERY time; which is a working on my 8gig memory in my HTC HD.
1. Connect the HD to the computer and select DISK DRIVE as the option on the on-screen popup on your phone. Don’t select ACTIVE SYNC. If you miss it, then go into your phone and press START>SETTINGS>CONNECTIONS TAB>USB to PC and select the bullet of DISK DRIVE and hit ok.
2. On your computer, (USING A WINDOWS XP MACHINE), go into your "My computer"
3. A window for will open with two columns.(If not, change the view to "Group") We are looking at the RIGHT side right now. In there is has three categories, and we are only focusing on ONE of them. LOOK for STORAGE which should be the center category.
4. Click with right to the desired "Storage device; A: ; D: E;", it will take a minute or two depending on your computer speed and environment to populate your hard drive and connected memory devices.
5. You will eventually see your PHONE internal storage listed. IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME BECAUSE YOUR PHONE INTERNAL STORAGE IS CORRUPTED!
***BE SURE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS IN FACT YOUR PHONE AND NOTHING SOMETHING ELSE LIKE YOUR MAIN HARD DRIVE OR SOME OTHER STORAGE DEVICE WITH IMPORTANT FILES ON THERE***
****I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU FORMAT THE WRONG DEVICE***
6. Choose format and let it format the drive. This should also take a few minutes. Select FAT32 and name is whatever you want! Let this finish COMPLETLY!

I received a corruption error a few months back because windows media player decided to sync my media files to my storage card. what error did you receive when you attempted to format it? I do not want to sound arrogant but when you placed the card into the micro sd/sd adapter did you unlock the adapter?

Yes that was the first thing i did. I tried formatting it on my laptop with 2 different apps and also on my PPC without success. I'm able to copy about 90% of my files to my laptop's harddrive but cannot save anything to the card or format it. The problem occured yesterday when I was creating a new Word document on my PPC... it wouldn't save to storage card and some error window poped out. Since then the phone has been a mess. It was barely usable because I had a lot of programs on my memory card which were used all the time by the ppc, had to hard reset and it's fine now of course until I try to browse files on my card.
I'm guessing that you didn't have any problems formatting your card?
Windows native formatting program gave this error: Windows cannot complete formatting
SDFormatter: the memory card is write-protected. please release the write protect switch"(have tried formatting the card with the switch in both positions to no avail)
some ppc formatting app "told" me to check whether any programs placed on SDHC card are being used by the system at the moment
I had the same problem with my 8 GB SDHC card. I spend few days trying to find solution. Most likely you card is gone for good. There is only one thing that I didn’t try and that maybe could work is to format card on Linux. They said it helps in some of the cases. Good luck with your card but be ready for the worst.

Perhaps this is different than I've experienced, but multiple times my SD card has become unreadable on my Tilt, and I just run a disk check on it, it finds weird/bad stuff, then it's fine again when it's done.
Not sure what's going on with that, as I've never made any sense of the chkdisk files that are created that are parts of the bad data.

Thanks all, I've tried that Panasonic formatting program hell I have tried at least 10 other programs for formatting, repairing and checking(chkdisk didn't help either) cards none of them have worked. And the most annoying thing is that I sent an email to sandisk on thursday last week and they haven't replied yet...I'm going to claim warranty replacement.
Do you have a digital camera? If so try and format with that as i had a simlar problem again a SanDisk to which the computer would not format, the phone would not format yet i used Fuji DSLR to format and it worked.

Sounded like last ditch efforts to me
to bad ther is no followup on this matter, but i would advise a digital camera to. it always helped me out. lowlevel format on a nikkon dslr!
Have you tried this little baby.... http://www.cnetx.com/format/download.asp
The trial allows you to format without purchasing, but it's worth buying for the next time it happens - I was stuck with all other programs not working until this one.
Good luck.
Ps. Sorry if it doesn't work and I get your hopes up!!
Had a similar problem 2 days ago with my micro SD SanDisk Class 2 8Gb that I use on my HD. Became corrupted after trying to erase some movies while connected to my PS3.
Tried this: www[dot]sdcard[dot]org/consumers/formatter [didn't work: Micro SD write protected]
Tried GParted on Ubuntu, didn't work!
Tried MiniTool Partition Wizard and other XP formatting tools, didn't work!
Tried formatting with the SD inside the Blackstone and connected to PC, didn't work!
Got VERY frustrated and bought a new cheap micro SD 8Gb class 6+adaptor [1300Yen, about 15Eur]
Now I followed the Digital camera trick, and formatted the corrupted microSD in less than 5 sec!!!
I think it doesn't matter what phone you use the SD in, any relatively recent digital camera will do the trick for you.
THANK YOU

to much to ask?

i along with several other noobs would like to try the newest roms but,everything is lzx. through sd card i have reformatted and everything else one would need to do. is it to much to ask to get some .nbh files upload if it is too much work just let me know i will understand just want to try out all these new rom that are helping keep this wing alive...... p.s that cab. file fix for opera mobile has that worked for anyone? it didnt for me... thanks in advance
Okay, so what are you saying? You formatted your SD card and it doesn't work or something? Did you format it as FAT32 under Windows? Did you rename the file to HERAIMG.nbh? Did you press and hold the camera button? Im thinking that you didn't.
If you're trying to flash through sd, and it's not working, you either missed something or did something wrong, period.
LOL
I can;t take you seriously with the smoking obama
You Must Be HardSPL First! See Here
1. Download the ROM you want to Flash
2. Rename the _______.nbh to HERAIMG.nbh ( ____ being whatever it was named first )
3. Format your sd card in FAT32 ( can't be sdhc, smaller cards work better )
- you can format your sd with a card reader on your computer
- or you can find resco explorer and format it on your phone
- if either doesn't work skip this step and see what happens
4. Place the HERAIMG.nbh onto your hopefully reformatted sd card. ( keep it in the root directory don't put it in a folder)
5. Make sure your phone is off and your sd card is in
6. Press and hold the power button and while holding it press and hold the camera button
7. When asked to press a button press down on the volume strip.
8. you'll get a progress bar leave it alone until there's only a gradient screen ( around 5min) then restart.
If for some reason this doesn't work, start back at step one and try again.
If for some reason the second time doesn't work get a cheap sd card and try with that one.

Yeah it's like dial-up slow, but it does work in a pinch. But if you're wanting to use your PC's internet connection for your phone, I couldn't find much. There's something like that for Symbian, but not really windows mobile.

Yeah definitely 2GB OR LESS, NOT SDHC. Everyone that puts up directions to flash seems to keep forgetting to note that part.

hey guys i covered that in my steps give me some credit.
and about the passthrough. i have a dash and when you connect to the computer my dash uses my computers internet, im wondering why i can;t do that with my wing?
the thing is i have a 2g sd card now i have heard of the term "partioning" a portion of your sd card for flashing.does anyone have steps for it? thats what i might need and if that doesnt work i'll just wait for the next signed_ruu file through active sync.
You can try to partition your SD and have part of it FAT or NTFS and the other FAT32 for flashing purposes, but I would not recommend it. Just do this, connect your SD card to your PC some way, copy everything on it to your desktop, then format the card to FAT32 and install as normal. If you partition your card I do not know wether the bootloader of the phone is smart enough to search for a FAT32 partition or if it expects the entire sd:/ disk to be FAT32.
I've never tried partitioning. I always use a 2gb Kingston and format the entire card to FAT32, and I've never had any issues flashing. That is the method I recommend.

dumb me or computer

OK im tired of looking i am trying to load a new rom but coming into some wierd issues and cant seem to find a solution i do a wipe then do a fat32/ext3/swap format right from my boot loader screen. then pull my battery pull my memory card stick into my computer. but here is where the problem starts my computer says the card isnt formatted and wants to reformat but with no partions. i have been hunting for sometime now and cant seem to figuire it out. please help i know this is probaly easy for most but i have no clue.
Have you tried another sd card? Is your card reader locked(SD card reader)? Do you have any FAT32 memory on the sd card?

i am trying a new memory card right now, my card reader isn't locked and i don't believe there is any fat32 memory left on it.
What recovery image are you using? Some of them will allow you to mount the sd card whilst in your phone as it is in recovery mode (home+power). If you have one that allows you to do that you can format the card and just plug your phone in to the computer and transfer what you need that way.

Well thanks for your great input. How could i have gone on so long without your guidance. i love people like you who get all high and mighty on their computers and think cause some one isn't so knowledgeable as you are that they shouldn't really be in an area that you coincide. Well i sure hope there may not be some matter of your life where i might be able to actually help you cause my good will and natural wanting to help my fellow man,might inspire you to either look at yourself and wanna change for the best or go jump off a bridge cause you realize that you may never change.

Thanks i haven't tried that and honestly i couldn't tell you which recovery image i have. I had someone root my phone for me cause i didn't feel i was up for the task.
This is the last time I'll ever try to help you out.
Get off your "bill gayes is god" box and accept that you need to use the RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB.
MS is OPENLY HOSTILE to everything that is NOT MS.
And you are trying to make a filesystem layout that is a hybrid of MS and NOT-MS.
It asks you to format filesystems because it is DESIGNED TO DESTROY EVERYTHING that is NOT MS.
The solution: Don't use MS!!!

fine all hostility aside. then why does it work when using two other windows based xp running computers? there has to be something other than its windows. Correct me if im wrong but aren't all computer systems based of linex code one way or another?
you are the sh*t

What's a "linex"?
(I know, that was a typo... linux.)
But AAAAHHH, holy crap! There sure shouldn't be.
Note: The answer is that there is TONS of linux in Windoze.... Including big long branches of code stolen verbatim. It is totally illegal and is a strict violation of the GPL license protecting the linux source code.
Once in a while we get PROOF that MS has stolen linux code... and it results in a complicated set of denials, but ultimately MS is forced to comply with the GPL license in these cases.
