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.

Just wondering if anyone else has or is experiencing any of these issues.
Had a HTC TyTN II for about a year now (I think).
Sometimes turning it on, the screen doesn't sync properly. You get the waivy lines, and have to hit the power button a few times to turn it off and back on, eventually it turns on properly.
Device cannot read MicroSD cards.
I'm thinking one of the cables that connects the top part of the device to the bottom is coming loose, however, I knoticed that when doing hard resets, it lowers the frequency of this happening, until the device gets filled with data and apps... This is the second time ive done the hard reset to make it usuable.
Super odd... Typicly if a hard reset fixes it, it woulnd't be hardware issues, but I still have issues with the MicroSD card.
Just wondering if anyone has any hardware failure stories.
Tried changing spl's and radios yet ?
sorry for the hijack but do you or anyone else have an issue with a bluetooth headphone. i've tried different bluetooth devices and on incoming calls if i use the bluetooth to answer the callers hear a loud screeching sound for a second. but using the same headset if i press the answer button on the phone the screeching doesn't occur. i've tried 3 different headsets and all had the same issue. any ideas??
SPLs?
I havn't modified the firmware or anything whatsoever. Running HTC firmware. No special addons or mods..
Then your warranty should come to the rescue - see what they say!

Then if it's a HTC TyTN II, the warranty is just over a year (I think it was about 15 months on mine) so it'd be worth contacting HTC pronto with your phone to hand to see if you can get it fixed under warranty. Let us know how you get on.
Wow,
So I noticed that the MiniSD card reader has been going lately. Card goes in, it doesn't recognize it. have to put it in 20 times to get it to recognize it.
ANYWAYS....
I decided to take the card out, cuz its pissing me off and almost pointles. BAM the phone became super responsive. When u hit the power button the screen turns on instantly. When your on a phone call and press hangup, it hangs up normally (there was a 10 second delay before that it would take to turn the screen back on and hang up the call).
So I think its JUST the microSD slot thats fried, i think since its kinda working, it was causing freezing issues and caused the phone to freeze, etc...
I don't care that it doesn't work. Ive sent stuff in for warranty before, I always get stuff back in worse condition then i sent it with new stuff broken. I cant go without exchange push for longer than 4 hours at night, so im going to live without the microSD card. lol
Thanks anyways guys!

Wow indeed. Maybe the problem is related to the card itself or whats on it. Try backing up the card (using its usb reader) then reformat it in FAT32 and with the phone totally powered off insert it. Boot up and see how the phone then performs. If this still proves problematic and you don't want to get it fixed under warranty there's not much anyone can do to help I'm afraid.
Card is fine! Tried 5 others, lol.
maybe some pins are crossed or something inside the slot.
Mine is having same problems exactly. sometimes if i reboot with the slide open it will work ok sometimes not wtf
Weird... thats odd that someone is having the same issue...
OMG ITS THE Y2K9 bug!!!
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 ...
Bloke
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!!
So I have to reboot my Galaxy S about 10-20 times a day -- every day -- because it disappears all the time. I have an external card in there too - but that too goes missing.
Anyone know how to fix this ?
no one knows why this happens ?
no one has EVER had their SD card disappear randomly and have to reboot ?
I don't buy that.
Apparently the 51 viewers as of this post haven't had this problem.
I certainly haven't.
Maybe someone that has, will show up.
It's just super annoying

Might help to know what firmware and apps you are running.
maybe you need to format the card inside the phone using the built in format app. Maybe you have a fake card. Maybe you have bad phone, in that case get it looked at
happened to me for a few days too.
Went uninstalling everything (tried a bunch of podcast/rss readers trying to find something that could handle passworded podcast feeds) as well as the games I was trying out and a few apps.
Hasn't happened since so one of them had to be the culprit.
- Completely vanilla sgs-i9000m from Bell, just unlocked. Not even rooted.

Looks like your sd card is beginning to wear out. Better backup as much as possible and replace it right away. I once had 2 kingston cards with similar issues. Formatting them seems to fix it for a short period of time only. Then eventually the problem returns.
Did you try erasing the card through the phone itself - that is putting it back again after un-mounting from your PC?
