4GB Sandisk
I have the AT&T Tilt variant, and the 4gb sandisk, and it works perfect, see it as 3878.5 MB

Yeah me too, check your sd card using the PC and see if it shows the same.
I have a Kingston 4GB microSDHC and it appeared as 4 GB on my TyTN II but I stopped using this card when the phone started showing a problem I haven't seen since I tried AKU3.x on my old JASJAM: that files vanish from directories and only reappear after a soft reset.

Couldn't be something silly like being formatted at FAT instead of FAT32 could it? Try a reformat at fat32 and see how it goes.
Did you get it off eBay? Maybe you just been sold a 'fake' card?
If you got it from a shop take it back. I once heard of people buying 1gb cards at a big chain of stores and getting 2gb cards because someone at manufacturing had put the wrong label on, possibly you got the unlucky end of the problem.
I planing to buy a milestone second hand.
the guy says that the phone doesn't want to format the memory card - he says it's from the software. so he is selling it pretty cheap. the phone is in warranty till august 2012.
i intend to buy it, root and flash custom rom and i think this will fix the issue.
do you guys think this can be a hardware problem though?
or maybe the memory card is in bad shape and he doesn't know it?
You can always format the memory card using a laptop or a computer..
If the card itself is in bad shape, buy a new one, they aren't that expensive
he sais the phone cannot format the card and shows that the card is not formated ( i'm asuming he tryed formating on the pc and still dones't work).
can the problem be from the hardware?
It can.
Easiest way to find out is meet with the seller, and bring a fat32 formatted microsd card with you.
If the phone can read it, then go ahead and buy it. If it cannot (and the seller is telling you that you cannot return merchandise), then you might be taking an uncalculated risk there.

thanks for the info. i will test it with the card from my htc tattoo.
but if the problem is from the software, than a custom ROM can fix it i guess. well it's maybe a try and risk case and i'll have to sell it afterwards.
well i had this sdcard issue as well. Neither my phone nor ubuntu could format my sdcard. A new 8 GB card for 9,50€ solved it for me so maybe its the same for you

Wait, the warrant is up to aug 2012?
AFAIK, Motorola only issues 1 year of warranty.
You should ask him again

If you are looking for true custom ROMs then I would look else ware due to the Milestones looked bootloader.
i was just looking arround for a phone better than what i have - htc tattoo. i love the little thing and don't need anything extremly fast/new or fancy. milestone is nice and the price is good. i just hope this can be worked around with th e sd card
Yeah, just get another one.
Before formatting sdcard you chose an option-settings/sdcard and phone storage/unmount sdcard for safe removal. Then you can format sdcard form the phone itself.
I am pretty sure that's the issue because it happened with me too.

wrong thread
Take with you working sd card an try to format it with phone if it can't format it do a hard reset and try again. When you do hard reset and if the phone can't format card I think this is hardware problem may be the sd card slot is damaged. If everything is ok buy it Milestone is very good android device.
saw these online. the site is a trusted one (bought lots of stuff from this site and they are reliable) but what im not sure of is if the items listed wont hurt my hd7

have u tried walmart for the card
Hello,
I'm having a strange problem with my newly acquired HTC One 802w (M7_DUG). As you may know, this version has a slot for an external SD Card.
Coming from the Defy I had a 32GB Class 10 Samsung SD Card that I installed on the One. A few days later (always running on stock ROM) I notice that the SD Card is no longer recognized. I then switched to a 4GB Class 4 Kingston SD Card just to see if that one worked well, but no, it also stopped being recognized a few days later. On the last try yesterday I used a 8GB Class 2 nobrand SD Card and today is fried again!
When I try to connect them to the computer they are not recognized (nor I can format them) and the cards are hot as hell! I mean REALLY hot. This obviously does not let me dig further because I unplug them right away. This leads me to believe that there's some kind of short circuit inside the card.
I honestly don't know what to do as obviously I don't want to keep kililng sd cards! Anyone experiecing the same problem?
Here are my specs:
HTC One 802w M7_DUG
ROM MaximusHD 1.0.2 Rooted
Unlocker bootloader
S-ON
EDIT: Solution here
EDIT 2: This seems to apply to BLACK models only. SILVER model seems unaffected from this issue.
No. i use a 64 gb samsung micro sd for 3 month now in my dual. All working fine.
Hi! I have the same problem - one of my SD cards died in 802w... And some other man from our russian forum 4pda also had such problem.
My idea of what happens is that it's just the mechanical damage. There are some projections on the inside of the back cover which are supposed to hold SD and SIM cards in place so they don't slip out of slot (?), but the problem is they're placed too close to the slot's end. So if you close the back cover that projection may press on SD card's end and just cracks it in two pieces.
At least that's what happened with my microSD... First I didn't notice it but then checked and it's really cracked. So this may be an answer - careful people tell that cards work normally, and strong people like us [ ] experience dead cards...

Thank you for your suggestions. I will try with another card and see what happens. I will report back.:good:
SOLUTION!
Well...sorry for the late reply but took me a long time to dig into this.
As @vitalif mentions the SD Cards suffers a mechanical damage. This is due to the pressure received from the protuberance in the removable back cover that should supposedly keep the SD card in place (not needed though as card/SIMS are physically held by the slot, but c'est la vie!)
The first thing I tried is to remove the small dent all Micro SD cards have but these cards are very sensible and the circuitery reaches this place as well, so I ended up ruining a few of them.
The solution I found was to use a dremel to remove that protuberance from the back cover as you can see on the attached photos. This has to be done with patience and probably better to have experience with these tools.
With this method I have been using the same SD Card for the past two months with no problems at all!
very interesting, i use my samsung microsd card from the begining and not damage at all. Maybe only black version have this problem , mine is silver and i open cover almost once per day .
802d in silver here and never faced sd card issue , using it since august.
using silver and no problems for past 5 months.
This seems to be a black edition only problem so far....any silver edition out there with this problem?
Same problem on black 802d model
The phone (black 802d) just broke my Kingston 32Gb microSDHC in half.
The back lid was not laying flat on the back since it was pushing against the sdcard, probably in my pocket, it got squeezed tighter, applying all the pressure via the back-panel extrusion onto the sdcard, which cracked it. Lost all my data

Yeah, is a pain in the neck. I also lost all my data.

So far this seems to be a BLACK edition problem only.

I recently bought a new SILVER edition htc one 802d and then i purchased a 32gb sandisk uhs micro sd.
Don't know why it killed the micro sd after 3 weeks, so it appears to be all htc one dual sim problem not the black edition only.
having some problems with sd cards on the z. bought a cheap 64G card off ebay and the phone reads it as 64 gigs but when i copied a bunch of videos and pictures to it from my laptop they showed on the windows file explorer but some didn't show up when i plugged it into the phone. also pictures taken with the phone say cannot save and the videos say cannot play this file. ok so i figured i got ripped with a bogus card on ebay and thats what i get for going for a deal that seemed too good to be true. bought another card this time a 64GB sandisk ultra that i know and trust because i have had the same exact card in another phone for over a year with no problems. well lo and behold same problem with this card in my wifes z. now i'm wondering is this a hardware issue? has anyone else had problems with 64GB cards? when i first put it in it didn't ask for a format or anything so i assume the z can handle these cards. her z is completely stock unrooted and running the latest 4.2.2
Is the card formatted as exFAT? I believe it has to be to work correctly in the Z.

Get the SD Association tool from here and format the card while it's in your PC via a card reader.
If it still doesn't work, you may have a faulty/counterfeit card. Return it for a refund and if you didn't buy directly from someone reputable (even a seller on Amazon may stock counterfeit cards), then do so.

originally it didn't ask for a format, but then i got an error stating card damaged and would i like to format it. this happened while trying to transfer a folder of videos onto the card yesterday. anyways it is formatted through the phone now and i just spent hours transferring all her photos and videos back onto it. i set her camera to save to the internal memory now so we'll see if the problem persists. if it happens again i will try to format with your tool one last time. thanks for your advice!
