Today i installed a bunch of different HTC programs and Skype
and i played with skype and it worked fine and after a little while i went to use it again and it wouldnt work .. and i find out that my storage card which was called "storage card" is now called "storage card 2" does anyone know how that happened? now any of the programs that i installed to it wont work because they are looking for "storage card"
any help would be greatly appreciated
Thats easy to fix, just delete the storage card folder that it created and reboot your phone and your storage card 2 will be storage card again. That's usually caused by you taking the card out and the phone trying to write something to the card such as email attatchments or whatever and since it doesn't find a card it creates a storage card file on your phone to replace it then when it find the card again it renames it to storage card 2.
i jus had the same sort of problem i deleted both sotrage cards, i deleted a new folder named storage card which showed as a normal windows folder and now wen i soft reset and the card is no where to b seen :s
Hi guys
Had problems yesterday with my Storage Card being renamed to Storage Card2 etc and could not figure out what was up. Renamed it back as described in various places (By deleting the Storage Card folder created and resetting).
Today however the Storage Card is not showing up at all. Have tried the following:
- Remove storage card, copy contents onto PC using card reader and formatting. Copy contents back and put in phone. -> No luck.
- Hard reset. -> No luck.
Never had any other roms than the standard. Have not upgraded to 6.1 yet.
Could the contents stop it from showing up?
Cheers

One thing i could think of is a corrupt file.
Try formatting it again (with all your files backed up in your PC) and just insert the card with nothing on it. If it shows up and your phone reads it, a good bet that one or more of your files from your backup is corrupt and the phone is unable to read the card.
yes i suppose that is a logical step to do. lets hope it is. but luckily it is still under warranty if it is hardware...
Reformated the card (FAT32 is this right?) and loaded into HTC TyTN II without restoring files onto it (i.e. completely blank).
Still not showing up...
Any ideas?
ur storage card reader might have become faulty. i would recommend a warranty exchange for ur device.
Installing WM6.1 sorted this out...
I have the exact same problem as you had.. But I already have WM 6.1 and the storage card still doesn't show up..
Tried formating, etc and still nothing.. I can see all the contents if i use a card reader on my PC, but once I insert de card on my kaiser it doesn't show up..
Any ideas?
Have you hard reset? It didn't help me until I installed the WM6.1. Otherwise is it still under warranty. I was actually on the way to take mine in when I installed 6.1. Actually I should have taken it in as I have a scratch on my screen and I suspect they would have replaced the phone...
This problem usually happens if you are using a third party file explorer like Resco etc. and make non visible areas such as your ROM visible.
It then treats the new area as Storage card and the SD card becomes Storage card2.
Just check if you have any other memory areas set as viewable and undo this.
My storage card completely disapeared but came back when I installed WM6.1. Didn't use 3rd party explorers etc. But this might be Baretto's problem.
This problem also occurs when running Card Export II. The Storage Card is renamed as Storage Card2. The only solution is to remove the card and re-insert it.
This solved the problem for me.

The problem I originally described here was the Storage Card disappearing completely. Not renamed etc. I.e. there is no Storage Card2. Baretto may have a similar problem to mine or his may also just be renamed.
Yes, I have the exact same prob as lrossouw did. My mem card wasn't renamed. It just disapeared..
I've already did hard-reset, and I don't use any third party explorer.. I already formated the card.
My only hope is to flash another rom.
I'm using the official HTC 6.1 portuguese rom and i'de like to stick with this rom..
If I was the only one with this problem, I would think it would be a hardware prob, but lrossouw solved his prob by flashing another ROM, so I'm hoping there will be another solution..
EDIT: Just tried to flash another ROM and still no success.. Still Can't find my mem card
I got one better for you. I had to wind up formatting mine because of this. Here's the deal. I go to open up my storage card and the folder is there but none of my files are showing. Then I go to the memory to check the space available and it was still showing that I had half of the card full. So I popped out the card and plugged it into my computer with the same results, nothing. So then I soft reset twice, nothing. I pim backed up my phone and hard reset, nothing. The pim back up was on my card but nothing else. Then I made another my documents folder and for a split second it showed the files that use to be in the old my documents. So seeing that all was lost I formatted my card and I haven't had any problems yet. I started a thread about this but no one responded so I assumed no one else had this problem.
P.S. I have an 8gig sdhc card

No one has answered you, because there are already other threads about that problem.. Search and you will find them..
This thread is not about empty mem cards.. It's about the device not recognizing the card, so pls refer to other threads..
Thanks
Baretto is it possible to reflash it with the wm6.1 rom? It might fix it.

LOL,
Guy this is the easiest fix ever.
All you do is delete the folder that says "Storage Card" then remove & reinsert the SD card. SD 2 will disappear & be corrected upon reinsertion.
This issue happens because of the Unload delay & sometimes because of SD Power management issues.
Always best to make sure SD Card Power Management is DISABLED.

As I & Baretto posted before (read the bit you quoted) there is no *spoon* (edit:storage card folder). It is not there. Can't delete it if it is not there. There is no Storage Card 1,2 or any number either. The storage card is not showing up anywhere and not as SD2 either.
Mine was fixed by upgrading to wm6.1. Baretto is on wm6.1 already.
@ lrossouw
I already tried to reflash it with HTC original 6.1 rom and other 6.1 cooked roms and nothing..
I'm getting desperate..
I'm thinking about sending it to the warranty, but I'm predicting 1 or 2 months without my Kaiser if I do so
@ GSLEON3
What do you mean by "SD Power management issues"? As lrossouw said, I don't have the SD card rename problem, but maybe my Kaiser ins't recognizing the SD card because of something related with power mangement..
It might be power related. My phone was on very very low battery power just before this happened for me. In fact had to reset itself a couple of time due to low battery. The next day the storage card was gone.
Anythign similar for you Baretto?
Good Day XDA devs!! I have a BA aka XDA IIs wherein I use a 256mb SD Card. Every time I flash a new ROM, I copy the extended ROM in my SD Card. Since my SD card is quite short of storage space, I erased the other folders in my SD card to accommodate space. My problem starts when every time I'm done with my installation, the unit resets itself right...??? then after when I access my storage card, everything and I mean everything (the folders that I deleted) comes back to life!
How can I possibly "STOP" the storage card from "autoload" the folders that I have already deleted...
I tried doing a hard reset (power + record + reset) following the format NO, YES, YES. The 3rd entry states "format the storage card" to still "NO AVAIL"

Huh? Format Storage Card? or just Format Storage?
If you mean the SD card, If you need to format it go use a card reader.
The Format Storage Option in the bootloader is for the OS Storage, it's where your OS and other programs are located, you cant really format it empty. Otherwise, you'll have a bricked unit... Err... considering the bootloader is beyond the BA Storage Allocation, we are safe.
Check
for the "Storage"
Settings->System->Memory->Main
for the "Storage Card"
Settings->System->Memory->Storage Card
Ok so I started noticing that the songs on my storage card weren't all showing up on Media Player.... only some of them. I refreshed the library, and still only a couple more showed up.
So I popped up Resco file explorer to look at things... wtf? I have a Device folder called "Storage Card", and another folder with the storage card logo called "Storage Card2". In both are what look to be attachment storages.
How do I resolve this? I removed the card but I can't seem to delete the "Storage Card" local folder.
Oh and File Manager doesn't work at all
remove the sd card and soft reset the phone

My storage card likes to rename itself to Storage Card2 in the wiki covers this. Never had it happen to me personally but then I always take the card out when the device is powered off.
DO you solve this? the card2 appears when you have removed it and put it back again.
it recognizes it as card2. What I did was to back up, then remove card and erased card2. it worked to me.
for some reason everytime i install programs it installs to my phone and not my sd card. when i run the cab it gives me the option storage card or phone and i select storage card, but it seems as if its still saving to my phone. any idea? my phones out of memory=(
Sometimes there's a folder called "Storage Card" in the phone and the system misses itself.
Or maybe you have problems with your SD card (do a search here about "SD corrupted" and read about it)
If you're experiencing problems always with this, you'ld better have to hard-reset.
Or you may try to modify the registry "by hand" using Total Commander or similar and tell that "storage card" is the card and not any folder.
Could you tell us what ROM are you using, and which is your memory / SD / etc. status ? (screen accessible via settings/system/memory) And how many apps are you installing there ?
basically my memory is reading the following:
from the storage card(2gb):
0.287gb used
1.610gb free
from my phone
122.5mb used
0.00mb free
i'm running abu's v10 ultimate with the 1.65.21.18 radio. its not the suggested but it hasn't given me any problems yet. its just this saving thinig that's been a problem. all of my ringtones and pictures go to the storage card so i don't understand why my CABS aren't. all i know is my phone keeps telling me critical memory. sheit.
how do i set it so that it saves in the storage card on total commander?
You got too much snizzle on your device, i'd recommed getting everything off via active sync/WMDC and performing a hard-reset start fresh back up your SD card and give a fat32 format with computer.
Then you'll be back on a roll with a fresh device
so i did the hard reset, but do i needa reformat my sd card too? its already as a fa32. so everything should be fine now? =)
