Re: My T-Mobile Dash keeps restarting after inserting a Micro SD card!

Thanks Chester.

Seems like I'm not the only one. In the meantime I got a response from
TMobile suggesting 2GB cards don't work.

..., please note that currently, the T-Mobile DASH reliably supports memory
cards with up to 1GB storage capacity. Issues such as long loading time and
device rebooting may occur if larger memory cards are used. I understand
this is not exactly the information you wanted to hear, and I apologize for
any inconvenience this may have caused and I thank you for your patience and
understanding.

Re: My T-Mobile Dash keeps restarting after inserting a Micro SD card!

Hmmm... I had the same card with WM5 for months without this issue. Would
think it's more related to WM6 than the Dash using a 2gig card. Guess
that's an easier answer for T-Mobile to provide...

Re: My T-Mobile Dash keeps restarting after inserting a Micro SD card!

Chester,

I had a similar issue when I upgraded to WM6. It was not related to
the memory card, but the older SIM card that I was using (pre 2002 is
what I was told). It worked fine with WM5, but after the upgrade began
doing this soft reboot over and over until I removed the battery.

After I picked up a new SIM card from the T-Mobile store everything
began working perfectly. Thankfully they did not charge me.

As a test, try turning your phone on without the SIM card. If it
starts fine, but alerts you that you don't have a SIM card in the
phone this is probably the problem.

Good luck!

Re: My T-Mobile Dash keeps restarting after inserting a Micro SD card!

When I initially started having the issue, I thought the same thing. I
tried removing the SIM and MicroSD cards; no change. From what I've read,
there are several scenarios to this issue, with just as many resolutions --
glad you found one that works for you! Thanks though...
