I have a serious problem with my Trinity, 4-5 times a day the data of the memory card disappears.
I have to take out and put in the card every time in order to see it again, this is very annoying.
I have searched around and it seems I’m not alone with this.
If you haven’t got this problem please tell me your type of MiniSD card.
thx

Ok no idea how this happened so I'm sorry I can't say exactly what went wrong. Last night I noticed that for some reason none of my mp3s were showing up in the library. Was out with some friends so just went on with my night until I tried to use PocketCM Contacts. Some reason it wouldn't load and I had to uninstall it and switch my softkey back to standard contacts. Latter on I realized that everything on my storage card was somehow gone.
In settings - memory it still shows the same amount of file space taken up on the card and I have tried removing it a few times and resetting.
If it's all gone that's ok because I have copies of all the programs I had installed. Only problem really is that I don't think I have the mp3s on my computer.
Was just wondering if this has happened before and if there is a chance the files are still there since the space on the card is still used. I also plugged the phone into active sync and it also shows nothing on the card.
This is a common problem and there are lots of things that cause it. Primarily, it is installing programs on your SD card, and leaving them running and your phone hibernating.
Typically when this happens, a simple soft reset will fix the problem... but I always suggest keeping up to date back ups of your SD card in order to avoid losing all your data.
I'm in a car at the moment using internet sharing on my phone, so I'm not going to find you all the links, but run a search on the site for "Corrupt SD Card" or "disappearing SD card" and you'll find lots of info about it.
Thanks man. Since I lost all my programs I think I'm gonna reflash the phone too. Want to try touch-it out.
man it has happened to me like 3 times on my wing. the first time i soft reset my phone and it worked. The next time i deleted my documents folder because it was showing 2 of them and i lost everything. I formatted the card and it messed up again this weekend. I ended up flashing to the touch it rom yesterday to see if it would make my phone more stable because i read that it might be the phone making my card act up.
I searched for ways to fix it and downloaded programs but they didnt work because my SD wasnt recognized by the programs. I lost 400 songs and ringtones and videos the first time and 500 songs the next. I have all the songs on my cpu but i made them all smaller to save space and that took a while. I dont even feel like putting anymore music on there because i might end up losing it all again.
Just keep contant backups of your card in case it happens... I bought a USB 2.0 card reader Stick thing for like $20... so I can copy files back and forth faster than thru activesync.
You may remember me. I posted a thread before about 'sd card failure'.
I stopped posting because the problem was gone. until now.
I was listening to same music when I got a notification that my battery was low, then my Kaiser hung, I soft reset it and then it stopped reading the SD card.
I tried a hard-reset, no go.
My PC is reading both (a 1 GB and a 8 GB micro SD card) without any problems
Any ideas what happened?
I going to find out how I fixed it the first time, but I’m afraid that it was an accidental repair.
Have you tried accessing the sd card on a PC to ensure the events of the hang did not corrupt the card in some way?
Yes I have,
to be sure I formated the SD card. Didn't work.
Guys, sorry..
The Kaiser is reading the sd-card again.
I hate it whene I dont understand what is wrong.
Sorry for the ****like English
Thanks for help anyway
All HTC phone types have this same problem. It does not occur often, but when it does all you can do is re-insert, and re-insert, and re-insert... until suddenly the problem is gone again. I don't think anyone knows what causes it, but taking the card out and putting it back in 10-20 times seems a sure way to fix it.

It does..
Good to here I'm not the onlyone with this problem.
Thanks for de replays
You all didn't mention what brand/size/type card? I had this problem with every HTC phone I owned, EXCEPT the Tilt/Kaiser. I'm on my 10th month now with -0- problems.

Exact same here. Just not 10 months yet
First of all thanks to all on the forum for all the useful tips and tweaks.
I finally took the bold step of my first flash two days ago to Dutty's latest Rom.
As he advised I have slowly added programmes and tweaks to make sure there were no bugs. Last night I was playing around with different wallpapers after a day of the phone being stable. Waking up this morning I found a lot of my tweaks for the today screen had reset themselves. Using file explorer i tried to open my storage card (I kept all the cabs i have been using on it) and it wasn't found. I took i out and have tried to open it through my laptop and it keeps asking to 'insert card' i.e it can't see it either. I tried a hard reset on my HD to see if it was anything I had installed and still nothing!
I have most things backed up on my PC and yesterday set up microsoft myphone so hopefully I haven't lost anything...BUT. Has flashing caused this or is it just coincidental that my storage card has gone tits up!
many thanks in advance.
P.S Off topic. has anybody else found that the Virgin advert causes a stuttering effect when scrolling down a page?
Hi Mate,
take a look at this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506560
Should explain all, it looks like when you upgrade to one of the newer roms not based on the 1.14 it kills the SD card, you could try formatting it again..
Happens quite randomly , so ...

Cheers Bloke
Although the cause doesn't seem to be very clear. I flashed my HD without the SD card in. I have a sandisk card. It came with the phone but it was a replacement phone so not exactly bundled per se. (after getting the phone on an upgrade last Dec with Orange actually paying me a fiver for it, I lost it/had it stolen after owning it a month and had to then fork out £160 for it )
Sods law that i haven't been backing up my SD card as the majority of it was music that i have on my laptop anyway.
Thanks once again
I've never lost any info on my SD Card from flashing any roms, and I've flashed a lot. Even when going from 1.14 roms to 1.59 roms. No probs
However I have heard others have had similar problems and unfortunately only remedy was to format card. Once formatted problem shouldn't arise again
So to update:
tried out spare sd. Not a problem although only looked at it rather than file swap etc
Hard reset: still didn't find card
flashed stock 1.14 rom. Had colours go strange on screen whilst first installing but then touch flo started and colours as norm. Put SD card in and it wasn't found. Soft reset with card in and once booted funny colours came back (all kind of negative and opposite original colours, kind of cool but obviously not good). Still not finding card. Took card out and soft reset, all good and colours back to normal.
So, it seems, I will have to format. Bye Bye data!
I tried to look at the card from command prompt on my PC (xp pro) and it still couldn't see it. Muchos corruption me thinks. Not sure how I am going to format it now?
I hope HTC will look into this and release some sort of fix. Unless they know it's a hardware fault on the card reader and realise it will cost a small fortune to fix everybodies HD not to mention the bad publicity.
Okay, maybe not the most common method to do this, but when I had this happen to me, I also couldn't format the card anymore in my PC (Vista). What I did wat put the card in an old Samsung phone I had lying around, and the phone initialised the card for itself. After that it was also readable again on my PC and in my HD.
Since this happened to me I always take out the SD Card if I flash my phone. Just to be on the safe side.
Hey guys .. i know this question got questioned couple times but no one has a fix for it so I am going to try again and ask one more time
my 16gb sd card was working perfectly fine.. till yesterday.. i was playing songs through the topaz music player and it stopped all of a sudden.. my topaz couldn't find the card so i soft reset it and the card was there but when i tried exploring the card it would vanish again.. so i did the hard reset cause some one mentioned on this forum. So the card was found but still the same problem .. when i explore it it kicks me out and no more card. it works fine if i use it on my laptop.
I will try to format it cause this is another suggestion i found on this forum.
Are there any hotfixes for this problem.. cause it looks like there are quite a few htc's with this problem.
Any one know why this is happening??
HI,
I got the same today for the 1st time! If the screen is on it works well but if the screen is off the player will stop and the sd card vanished!!
Soft reset and it s back but vanished again? I'm trying another card but I think it won't be better

I'm trying a brand new 16 Gb card (sandisk) as fresh copy and my former 8 GB one. I switched off the screen and listen to music for 30 min and still working...
Strange
i posted a suggestion in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533790 that may help with your dissapearing SD card
ok guys so what I did is:
1) format the card !
2) hard reset
everything works like a charm.. I would recommend for new buyers to hard reset your phone right after the first start up. My topaz was really weired when i first used it but now it works perfectly
thanks guys !! xda rules!!
Hello everyone,
Today, I just received the dreaded "blank SD or unsupported file system" all of a sudden from the stock Samsung 2GB Micro SD Card. Everything gone, Card Fried.
But then I tried to put in a separate memory card into the phone. It's a Kingston 2GB. But the moment I even put it in, the whole phone freezes into oblivion. Only when I take it out and wait 5 seconds, will the phone run at normal speeds again.
Another issue is that I am unable to format the aforementioned Kingston Card from the phone. When I try to do so, the phone just says Erasing... then it stops. When I try to press the Mount SD card option, phone just freezes, until, of course, I remove the card and wait 5 seconds.
All this suddenly happened today. I have been owning this 5830i for about 2 months now, no problems, and suddenly today...
Any insight into these issue are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
To help give a more visual approach to this problem, I have decided to take some time off to create a video.

Hope this clarifies things.
OMG what is this shenanigans? I just put the KINGSTON card into the phone and waited two hours, and the phone had the cheek to work normally again. Yay its solved, but I still find this issue to be very strange. Fickle phone, I guess.
I just found a solution to the Kingston Card Lag Problem.
Go google Panasonic SD Formatter and Format the SD Card using a card reader. Then put the card back in the phone and the Card will work normally again.
umm umm. lol?
