I just saw this happen with my own eyes! I brought my phone out of standby and saw total commander displaying one of my folders in my storage card, all is fine. The moment I move to the root of the storage card, all the folders instantly turn into weird characters. All I could do was to do a soft reset and I can see the contents of the storage card back to normal again.. Thankfully..

I cannot confirm it, but I still think the chances of data corruption is higher if we were to leave our phone go into standby while it is still accessing a file in the storage card... just my two cents..

Yes this issue is present in original 6.1 roms of Omnia B7610. To stay away from it, follow these rules :

1. Format your memory card from inside the phone, not using Windows on PC. You can do this by going to Samsung's skinned settings>Memory Settings> Storage Card and clicking Format button. It seems like samsung has done some amendments to the structure of FAT32 file system. I guess due to this fact, the filesystem is accessed using PocketFS.SYS.

2. If connected in Mass Storage mode, always unplug your phone from PC after using the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in system tray.

3. Set your phone to not turn itself off when its on external power. To do so, go to Samsung skinned settings>General Settings>Power>External Power. Here set the "Turn Off Device" setting to "Always turn on".

Cheers!

Hi, I don't know if this would help. But i'm thinking that our phone automatically encrpypts out files from the storage card. I'm using windows mobile 6.5 and it has an option to encrypt files on the storage card, so it's very possible that it does it automatic sometimes. so what i want to know is if there is a file or way to permanently disable the encryption option?

I purchased an 8GB Samsung Plus Class6 card. After using it for almost a month, I am yet to see this issue. I had the issue with my stock Sandisk 2GB and Kingston 8GB Class6 cards.

One thing I noticed, The card performs faster than my earlier cards. Dont know how it compares with Sandisk Class6.

hi folks i don't think there's anyway to resolve this issue in 6.1 coz i visited the area sales manager yesterday and he said this is a fault in os and can be resolved by updating it to 6.5 an official 6.5 rom is to released soon by samsung and microsoft

[passion_streak]

Well u dont have to wait for so long ,just flash ur phone with http://www.modaco.com/content/b7610-omnia-...-5-build-21895/

all credits go to daskalos , chose full or megalite according to your choice ...... i m using full version i had flash it some 7-10 days a go and havent seen any probs since then

[joe_9999]

yes passion_streak ur right and even i tried it but the issue is that samsung service centre won't except our cellphone if it has any other os than the original 6.1 rom and back up and flashing all the time also becomes tidious and not feasable

[passion_streak]

well even if they accept it, they wont do anything ..... & u have to back up & flash a new os just once not ALL THE TIME .Its quite easy i guess not TEDIOUS

spell check is duly noted
and i was referring to a scenario where one had a problem in device hardware or buttons which needs to replaced under warranty.

After two months of moderate to heavy usage, I am yet to see the issue with my Samsung Plus Class6 card. I believe Samsung Phone <> Samsung Card combination has resolved the issue.

Anybody else wants try this card, you can buy it from here mymemory.co.uk. They provide free shipping
