Just a small update, I went out to Best Buy and bought a cheap Micro SD card, 9.99 for a 2gb one just to find out whether or not it would work. Loaded it up and it is now sleeping properly even though my XL only has half a battery left.
The brand I got was PNY if anyone else is interested in trying one out.
I've emailed both M3 Adapter and the place I got my card from, M3 says they haven't been able to duplicate the error and the place I ordered from said they'd be looking into it. I'll post in the thread if they end up finding anything out, for the time being though I'll just stick with the 2gb card.
its because a 2gb isnt an sdhc card.
it only fails with SDHC cards when not with a fully charged battery.
i have tested 8gb sandisk, pny, and a kingston sdhc cards. all fail on sleep
i saw this from the m3i zero forums.....
"When I first bought a microSDHC card for my DS, I took the highest class I could get, thinking it avoid prevent any lagging problems.
Here's what I got back then : Transcend microSDHC 16GB Class 6.
Then I got the problem where sleep mode would turn off the DS unless the battery is full.
Finally, following your advice, I ordered a cheap SanDisk microSDHC 16GB Class 2, and now everything works perfectly !
It definitely was a SD compatibility problem."
maybe ill buy a slower SDHC card and report back.
but even still.....if getting a slower card solves the problem it isnt actually fixed. there will still be a problem the m3 team should come up with an explanation for.
