type of storage card

[n5phtgs]

Hello,

I am using a micro 2 gig in my 750 - of course with the mini adapter. Once (only so far) the device was not reading the card and I did a soft reset and all was fine. I am using a San Sung card. Would it be better to go with a mini SD instead of a micro and the adapter or would that matter?

Have you ever heard the saying if its not broken don't fix it...
In other words if if works OK why change it?

Well, it is now starting to look like a problem. I just had it happen the second day in a row. I have since found many, many posts and the gists of the post seem to indicate the solution(s) that seem to surface quite a bit:

1- use Palm branded MiniSDs (more expensive and I already have this SanDisk)

2- use 1 gig instead of 2 gig (quite a bit less problems reported). That would actually work for me because I have only used about 200 meg on my 2 gig card and don't see myself loading it up but, like above, I already have the 2 gig.

So, there does appear to be an issue with the storage cards not being read. Any others?

it may be a bad card there have been reports of that is your card an hcsd or just a mini sd card that might be the problem. Also before you use it you need to format it for TAT32 either with software solution or a card reader.

I have tried 2 cards. Both are SanDisk and used as they come out of the package. I am now using a 1 gig card and it has not happened as often but still some. I have read posts that they
1- should be fine out of the package
2- must be FAT16
3- must be FAT32 (I think that is what you meant to say)
4- and some say must be FAT12

I know very little about the File Allocation Table (FAT) stuff.

Well, for now the 1 gig seems to be doing ok. And for future reference how do you format a card to FAT32 or 16 or whatever with a card reader?

Thanks,

Gary

just use a card reader with your pc. open My Computer and right click the icon for the memory card and select format from the pop-up menu.
