Hi XDA Gurus,
Recently when i was trying to install TomTom 5 on my O2 XDA IIi, suddenly my XDA stopped recognizing the external Memory Card. I tried with different memory card still it doesnt recognize. What could be the proble is it something to do with plugins? have i lost any plugins. Earlier i used to have Storage Card folder in my device but its no more exists. Please help me sorting this out. Do i need to format my external Memory Card.
Cheers,
Suresh
I had the same problem with storage cards and alpine. I noted that Kingston cards are easier to be recognized by alpine and Dane-elec are the hardest. Just try to remove and reinsert the card several times. It's anoying but works. after each reinsertios you can wait some time since the device lasts some time to recognize card.
no use
I have tried it so many times. so far trying to insert different memory cards. still it doesnt recognize any.
Have you tried soft resetting the device?
I had that problem and after soft resetting the card can be recognized again.
I use Transcend 2GB SD.
No use mate.
Thanks for your comments. But no use mate. i have tried it 100 times. still it doesnt, it seems like there is some problem with my Set. Memory card is working fine. I dont know if anything stuck in the memory card slot and its stopping from proper connection. Or i lost the drivers. How to upgrade the software on my xda IIi. or reinstall the drivers. Please help me in fixing this problem. Its all happened when i tried to install Tomtom on the system. damn softwares.
Cheers.

Does this SD card work in a card reader. I have found that some of the cheaper SD cards dont last very long especialy if removing and replacing them alot.
Been using transcend 80x slc cards for a whiel and had no problem with them.
I use tomtom, also constantly writing video and mp3s to the cards so far they have outlasted any other make I have had.
Yes.
Yes. i am using this in my camera. I can read and write to the card using other devices. The card which i received from O2 is also not being recognizing.
Cheers,

Hi,
just clean the SD card slot thoroughly,it might help.

hi there
i had a sandisk sd card 512mb for a while, then i had broken the touchscreen. anyways. its fixed, but it had to be disassembled many times. anyways after those the card didn't work on device nor on my computer. so i thought it must have been the sd card. So:
i've bought trascend 150x 2gb sd card, formatted with fat(fat16) and when i am trying to put it into my pda it doesn't easily fit. i have to push it little harder.
after that windows prompts me whether i want to format it now. i've tried numerous times either formatted or not, my pda just does not recognize the sdcard. its not shown under explorer nor under settings.
what could be wrong? the sdcard works perfectly when i hook it up to my computer...
hmm very wierd. i tried again and again, it read the card and said that its 1.12gb after couple of seconds, i lost all again..
(
i had a simular problem a while ago.i did a hard reset and upgraded my phone at the same time.this did cure my xda.as to if it will yours im unsure
hi
hello i did buuy a mmc card for my xda IIi but it didnt fit i dont what to buy?..what can you advice to buy? that it really fits i think theres something inside the slot that blocking the card to slip inside..
plz help me..so that i can put some more movies in my xda..
open up your own thread will u!
One day my wizard decided to stop recognizing my 2gb Toshiba MiniSD card. I tried all the usual, formatting, etc... I even reflashed my wizard from TNT to Slim Edition, it still doesn't work (doesn't show up in file explorer, memory manager, nothing).
I'm confident this is not a hardware issue, the phone responds to the card being inserted/removed with the backlight.
Also, I have tried it with 2 other MiniSD cards (2gb Kingston and 16mb Kingston). All of these cards do work, recognized by both my laptop, other phone and digital camera.
Pls. help people! I need this to run TomTom
Thanks for any help!

So are you saying that the toshiba card is recognized by other hardware? and is any other cards recognized by your phone?

I believe he's saying all the cards are recognized by other hardware which obviously means that the problem is in the Wizard.
If warranty has expired i suggest dismantling the phone and clean all pieces carefully
EDIT:
found another post that might be of interest

cheers
Just to clarify, yes all the cards are recognised by everything apart from phone.
Yes, the phone is indeed out of warranty, I'll disassemble it then.
Thanks
Any luck with this? I've just had the same issue, remember this thread and came for help. In the meantime, I removed my SD, shut down the wizard for a few seconds and turned on again with no SD card. I put the SD card in my reader and defragmented it in Windows and when I put it back in the phone, it was recognized. I don't know if it's anything of the above but my SD now works. Good luck
Still no luck. Took apart phone, ensured contacts were clean, tried everything.
Then I formatted/defragmented all of my test cards in every combination possible.
Still no luck, they're recognised by everything apart from phone
oh also, just remembered... Before the card went awry, I was having battery drainage, and amongst other things I tried, were some SD power management drivers... Could it be something to do with that? are there different drivers I could try?

Why not a Hard-reset? or a new ROM?
tried both (first post)... still no luck... i'm looking into smaller partitions, but no luck with finding a tool to do it...
Same Problem...
Any news? I'm having the same problem... using a AMPv.2 G4 Wizard. I notice that other people are having this issue with other pdas... but i found no deffinitive solution ... So, post your ideas and let's try everything that cam make it work!
Same problem
Hello guys,
I have same trouble with my Qtek A9100! The original SD Card 512MB that came with is broken, don't format, don't delete files and don't accept any new files... so i buy a 2GB kingston, brand new, but don't recognize at first time in a B.D 3.1, after install SD card high capacity it work's...
After some time, my phone become locked in that 3 colored screen, only way to solve my problem is a change for a new one.
Now it's in a original rom, brand new, but don't recognize 2GB SD Card and don't accept SD card high capacity installation.
i don't like to update my rom again, but could this be the only way?
(sorry! my english is a little bit rusted!)

Hopefully an easy question for someone to answer! Will the Kaiser read a SanDisk 8GB MicroSDHC card?
On another point, I have a 4GB MicroSD that no device can read anymore. I cannot reformat it as it does not show up on the device (PC, PDA or anything!). Any ideas?

1. yes
2. ??
1. Thats what I have
2. Broken card, throw it away?
Hmmm
1. Been running that for a while.
2. Make sure your PC Reader can support MicroSD before deciding that the PC can't read it (hint - putting the microSD card into the Sandisk larger shell does NOT make it a regular SD card). If you are POSITIVE your computer can read a MicroSD card, and it doesn't register, then toss the card.

Corrected above - the adapter DOES turn a MicroSD into an SD, AND a MicroSDHC into an SDHC. But, not all readers can read the HC cards (4GB and more).

This has been asked many times and the answer remains yes (the same for the 16 GB version - I use one with my TyTN II).

When you say 'anymore', whats changed? Are you still using the same microSDHC -> SDHC adapter that the card came with and a suitable SDHC compatible reader when testing it on your PC? If so, it's time to get in touch with the company that sold it to you for a warranty claim.
I had a similiar problem. While moving some music over to my 8 gig SD brand card it failed after about 3/4 of the files and then dissapeared. I've tried soft reseting and popping the card in and out and I can't get my phone to recognize it.
I need to get a new usb adapter b/c the I don't think the one I have is hc compatable (it's a few years old) so I have no idea if my computer will recognize it directly. Does this sound like a card issue or phone issue.
Running ATT WM6.1 minus bloat with a few programs (all of which have been running for a week or so no problems). Sorry to hijack, I just didn't want to open a new thread and get flamed.
i got a 4gb micro SDHC, its a sandisk. i got it to upgrade from my 2gb sd, i have read that the HC cards (sorry if the card is in the acronym) are compatible with tytn II's.
it wasn't with my original rom, and now i have tried to new roms both of which wont recognise it at all. is there anything i can do?

Since this morning my device is telling me that no Storage Card is inserted. I didn't change anything and the SD has been inside the device all the time. I bought the device around april 2008. I still have to test the card on my PC at home, but I wanted to check what my chances are. What is a bigger change? That the SD card just died on me or that my device has a hardware problem?
Funny thing is that yesterday I flashed to a diffrent ROM. I did a hard reset, still no luck. Flashed with an entirely other ROM, still no luck. So I am hoping its just the SD card that broke. Would be strange if flashing a ROM would cause the SD card hardware inside the device to fail the next day.

Try to reformat the sd card with fat32. That helps sometimes.

My laptop has a SD reader but it doesnt even map the card to a drive like it usually does. Any tools that I can use?
I already ordered a 8 gig MicroSD which should arrive tomorrow.
I'm not ready to blame my Tilt for my mSDHC problems but it sure seems like theres a lot of posts out there here and other places about people having memory card problems with their Tilt. I"m going to try again but if another memory card fails I'm sending my tilt back and hopefully I can demand to at least upgrade to a Fuze for a cost.
Funny this thread came up as my 4 gig card crapped out on me recently and is unrecogniseable to any device after running the sdhc cab on it. But yea, 8 gig works just fine. Using a 16 gig now with smooth sailing
Hi Guys, I had a problem with my phone so i did a hard reset and lost all of the stuff i bought the phone with i got 99% of it back with the help of the threads here. Thanks Guys! but my memory card slot on the phone will not read the card through the pc or the phones software. please help!
Have you verified that the SD card is working? Try it somewhere else?
Yes i put my card into my brother in laws sidekick and he could play all of my files and i put his 2 gb micro sd (not hc) and my tilt read his card fine so i think one of my settings files is screwed im kind of a noob to winmo but im alright at windows
I would suggest that first you put the sd card into a PC, and check the file system on it for errors and repair them if any are found. That will often take care of the problem.
Otherwise, like my tilt, it could be a hardware problems. I can no longer read SD cards at all, even though the phone knows when I insert and remove a card, it won't recognize it as storage.
A friend of mine has a LG Marquee from Boost Mobile and he is having a problem which is a little weird.
The when I install Speech Synthesis from the market place it installs fine but when I go to run the program it wants to install data to the SD card which is normal. But this isn't normal. It doesn't detect the SD card and wants me try again.
This is a new 32 GB card from Sandisk he bought two of them and they both have the same issue. I tried a 2, 4 and 16 GB card thinking there was something wrong with that but they didn't work either. It just wont in see the SD card.
This is not the only program. The stock music app doesn't see the music on the SD card either.
When saving music today to the card from the Android Market place to the SD card it says its full. I know its not there is barely anything on it.
In an effort to fix this I did manage to root the phone. But that didn't seem to help much either...
But I know its working because if I run any other program it finds the card with no problem. I stuck the card in my own phone and it works fine. Sooo...
HELP!!!
Thank you so much..
Hey I have thag same phone but I don't have that issue like your friend is havong with his. Have you tried to format it in the phone? I took my old 8gb sd card out of my old android phone and it works fine. The phone itself may be defective. If u haven't tried to format the card in the phone I would do that first
Sent from my LG-LG855 using xda premium
I did that with other cards and with no avail. So I'm not sure if its a defective phone because the SD card reads normally on other apps with no problem.
