Sandisk 32gb MicroSD working fine!

1. Sandisk 32gb MicroSD working fine.
Yesterday, I got a Sandisk 32gb MicroSD card from www.pdashop.be. They told me I was probably the first customer in Belgium to get one, hah! Anyway, it works perfectly well in my HD2.
2. Just a little rant.
Some time ago, I noticed the 32gb cards from Sandisk were announced on www.htcaccessorystore.com. It's a storefront for Expansys, who handle everything behind the scenes. Anyway, the memory cards weren't available yet, but I left my e-mail address and credit card data so I'd receive a message as soon as they got them.
Then, a little over two weeks ago, I got that message: the cards were "available now", so I immediately confirmed my order for one 32gb card. At this point, it was no longer a pre-order but an actual order.
After confirming, I was told by Expansys the cards were still "with their supplier" and would arrive in 7 days. Huh, I thought they were "available now"? But, no problem, I could wait.
I checked the order status every now and then; after 6 days, it suddenly jumped from "1 day left" back to "4 days left". Then when those 4 days were up, it again jumped to 4 days. Notice a pattern?
By that time, I noticed that the cards had appeared on www.pdashop.be as well. I've had an excellent experience with that shop each time I bought something there (and they have a store close to where I live), so I just went ahead and ordered my memory card with them. Less than 24 hours later, I had it in my hands.
Yesterday, the countdown timer for my Expansys (or htcaccessorystore.com) order had gone up again, this time to 7 days. Needless to say, I cancelled my order there.
Edit: Expansys have contacted me in a reaction to this post. If anything, I have to admit that their customer service is alert, and that they care about how their customers feel. I probably should have talked to them before posting here.
In all fairness, I have absolutely no reason to assume that Expansys "deliberately announced the availability of the cards way too early to reel in all those orders ahead of other retailers", as I stated earlier. This was just me jumping to conclusions.
My only complaint is that their delivery estimate was so unreliable. Last time I checked, it had gone up again to 14 days, though the initial message I recieved said "available now". This is probably due to high demand for those new 32gb cards, but I found it quite inconvenient.
Maybe I'm just an impatient customer, I don't know. I would probably have been a better idea to talk to their customer service first.
Just to balance things: I've bought with Expansys before and had a much better experience then. Swift deliveries, great customer service. Problems can happen everywhere, and it should be no reason not to shop with them anymore. In fact, now that the initial surge of demand is over, they're probably a good place to get your 32gb card right now. As I said, it works perfectly well in the HD2.

I have ordered quite a few things from pdashop.nl and also i can say from experience there nothing less then good service. it is probably the same webshop as the be version.

some photo please

how much did that baby set you back...?

nooooo i just ordered a 16gb card!! arghhh

Any idea if there are plans to release a class 6?
After the horror stories of the class 2 that came with the TMOUS HD2 I'm hesitant to pull the trigger

Sorry I hate political correctness,tell it how it is,they were misleading in their
original message saying they were 'available'
In my book,that means they have them in their stock room boxed and ready to be dispatched,anything else is just so much horse crap surely....

Here are some pics.
The card cost about 160€. I don't know if there are any plans for class 6 cards yet, but to be honest, I've never regretted just using class 2. They're fast enough for music and high quality video on the HD2, in my experience. The only time when you may notice a speed difference is probably when copying files from your desktop using a card reader.
@Marct77 -- I agree: in stock means in stock (actually their original message said "available now"). When they contacted me after I'd posted the original version of my rant, at first I was pretty mad actually. Then I realised I couldn't prove anything of what I said about their intentions (the "trying to reel in orders" part) and such allegations actually weakened the point of my post. I decided it would probably be better to just stick to the facts and let the readers make up their own minds.
I told them I wouldn't remove the whole thread (as they had requested) but just the unfounded allegations. They were cool about that. And the rest is all true: I have had good experiences with them in the past.

Same, but on purpose... Paying 4x the price of a 16GB class 6 for 32GB class 2... no thanks.

2 1gb for less than 25 bucks
one from tmo free the other for 22 bucks
that's 32 gb and I'm happy with that

....... mine has been dispatched from mobilefun.de last Friday ........... close enough since I run out of memory with my 16gb card.
Will have to cancel my order now at expansys ............

What did they say their intentions were when they said "Available Now" yet couldn't deliver the product?

Great story, lol. I had kinda like the same experience when i first bought my HD2, but obviously from another retailer. They´re all trying to get so many pre-orders as possible with changing the delivery date.

They said they try to indicate the availability of products as correctly as they can, but sometimes they get the wrong info from their own suppliers. Fair enough.
Anyway, it's no use speculating about the real reasons for the delay (or rather, the fact that they started taking orders prematurely). I'm fine with the most "lenient" version of the story, which is that they made a mistake and later apologised. They gave me no problems cancelling my order either (and I'm sure I would have received it eventually if I'd been more patient). Whether there's anything more sinister going on, there's no way of knowing. Just thought I'd provide the facts here and let everyone decide for themselves.

I ordered from the mobilefun.co.uk on apr 15th and had to cancel after over one month of changing delivery dates ... I was pretty p**sed off, but I have to say they were polite and they refunded quickly.
I have placed another order with Sandisk directly, should be here this coming week.
I just can't wait ...

Did I get a fried card from SanDisk?
Just got my new 32GB card from Sandisk.
When I slid it in and powered on the phone asked to format it. OK I thought ...
But what happens is that it keeps asking to format it over and over again.
I tried accessing it via USB , and the PC asks to format it as well, showing a total capacity of 30.6 MB.
Same thing if I try running the WinMo Format SD Card: capacity 30.61 MB.
I contacted SanDisk suport. Awful. At first they said that they only test cards on PCs, then they said that dd not even know if hardware was compatible and that I should contact the phone manufacturer.
Finally, when I gave them the link on their site where compatibility is stated pointed me at a tool by HP to format flash memories over 32GB ...
They are clearly clueless.
I will try later to slide the card into my PC directly (don't have the adapter with me), but I am skeptical about results.
Is the card defective or did I miss something?

Expansys is horrible by my books. I can tell you now that what you thought was happening OP, is likely to be true. I've seen a phone go "3 more remaining" for the longest time (couple of days), the moment it goes out of stock, it refills up to "5 more remaining".
Bull crap nonsense. I don't buy any of that bureaucratic, "We try to be as accurate with our stock as possible". That's just a legal smokescreen for misleading consumers.

Do you really mean 30.61 MB, or should that be GB?
If it's GB then that's normal. There will be a decent chunk of the card taken up for filesystem overhead, and "rounding" of what a gigabyte is.
If you format the card in your PC I would expect it to stop asking you to repeatedly format.

maybe you will find your answer. by the way your 32gb card is really gone. you won't be able to do anything about it except a replace.

WOW, THIS was fast now by expansys !
Received my 32GB SanDisk mSD yesterday, no way to cancel order
Switched my HD 2 to flight mode, took out my 16 GB SanDisk (which was also class 2 and worked blazing fast), inserted 32GB mSD, was recognized immediately (no formatting neccessary).
Copied the content of 16GB mSD to PC in Flight Mode and Harddisk-Mode (ActiveSync switched off), took out the 16GB agagin and replaced it with the 32 GB, copied contents back from PC to 32 GB mSD, restarted HD2 and everything worked as if nothing had happened.
SKTools now tells me: 30,x GB available, everything running fine. Did a video recording test this morning driving in the car: 30 minutes of recording at max. res. NO PROBLEM !!!
Everything works perfect wirthout flaw ! FANTASTIC !!!

Mini SD Corrupt?

Hey i recently purchased a 16GB Mini SD. As soon as i got it i formatted it to FAT32 then tried loading Android onto it. Went to file explorer on my phone and the SD didnt show up. So i plugged my phone back into the comp (i dont have an SD reader on my comp) and it showed the SD's storage to have 707GB! Yes 707GB! lol Unless this is a super magic card, something is wrong lol.
I Have tried formatting it again but under windows the only options are exFAT and NTFS. Im not to sure what exFAT is?
Any light shed on this is appreciated

how much did you pay?
i guess its one of these cheaper ones which are only shown with a higher capacity but are in reality a 2gb card or something like that.
DN41

$40 Australian dollars. Thing is when i first put in the phone it read 16GB but when i tried putting Android on it it wasnt read by the phone. And now its 707GB, i wish it was really haha

try to format it as ntfs or exfat and back to fat32...
does this help?
DN41

I tried formatting to NTFS and a window pops up 'windows was unable to complete the format'
And thats all hmmm.. maybe a dodgy card?

Did you not mean microSD? I'd love to see how you can fit a miniSD (larger than microSD) into the microSD slot of HD2.
Where did you purchase your card from, mate? If the answer is eBay then there's a good chance it's fake.

I bought a 32GB micro SD (Kingston) off ebay... It showed up as a 32GB sd card on my laptop, and tried to work on my phone, but every time would try to run android I had problems... I thought I was just a noob doing something wrong, and honestly wasn't gettin a lot of help from others on the forum. Tried new builds, new ROMs, nothing.. Bought a new 8GB card, Perfect! Everything works! The questionable cards seem to lead to questionable results. I would buy one from a brick & morter store and try it. If it works, great, if not, take it back. Good luck!

...and I beg you could probably read/write 32GB of data on your laptop.
However, a common hack used by fake cards is to only store indexes of files beyond its real capacity on the card and store the actual data on your hard disk. Once you take the card to other host (i.e. HD2) then it would all fall apart...

As far as i know its a legitimate card. Came fully sealed in the original packaging. And yes it is a microSD, im sure you know what i mean.
Question i ask now is it possible to bring back a corrupt card to life. I downloaded this tool to re-format but no luck. It says 'this format is not recognized' i even read somewhere else putting it in the freezer might give it a kick start haha

You must got a good deal if you bought locally then. www.staticice.com.au tells me the cheapest 16GB microSD is $41 plus delivery and it's only class 2.

Depends. IF you bought a fake it could be well packed as real. Then again, I don't know where you bought yours from.

I replaced my hd2 SD card 3 times all of them are SanDisk 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB.
And every time it works for 2 weeks or 3 then it get corrupted so I’m sick of buying SD cards for this device.
I have no idea why it's getting corrupted even the tech support says my device is ok no problems found.
So I decided to save my money and wait for HTC Windows Phone 7

i had nothing but problems with android on the hd2 and micro sd's all are genuine cards too, managed to recover the files and format the cards luckily otherwise i'd be buying two new micro sd cards, leave android for android devices lol, windows phone 7 out soon no doubt there'll be some new roms out for us happy HD2 owners then.....

I have the same prblm with the 2gb and 4gb microsds. The 2gb one got corrupted till the extent I can't format it nor recover the files from it.
The same happened to the 4gb except that the format on my hd2 seems to be working but not helping much, it's taking too much time and yet the storage card folder still didn't appear.
The formatting prgms on my computer gave me errors when i tried formatting the microsd. So in the end, the microsd is corrupted badly as the first one.
I realized that it been a while since your last post, so any luck in fixing ur prblm?

Hey ppl's, this has just happened to me a second time today. I happend once before when I was traveling. Though I think I have quite possibly found a link. While I was traveling i was useing the Win mobile app for facebook to upload photos (which i hardly use) Then today I was using it (randomly) again and shortly after the micro SD card was unreadable. Could it be something to do with the app / the way it creates multiple subfolders to cache photos from facebook profiles?

I just bought a kingston 32gb class 6 micro sdhc but when ever i put it in my hd2 it just freezes up and as soon as I remove the card it works fine again.At first i though that it was a fake so I:
1)performed multiple tests,
2)reformated a 1000 times,
3)even putting 20gb of data just to make sure.
Turns out that it is authentic and it works perfectly on my girlfriend's htc BalckStone it also worked when I installed NAND (which i later removed due to insufficient memory).Ive been searching for days, I think its a windows mobile issue, any tips??

[Q] this sd card is good?

Hi. I have some problems in my note 2. And after check some things. And it's looks like the problem come from the sd card. I have 32 giga. And I wad try to format him. And check problems and all good. But in the the phone have problems...
So.. I am from israel and I search a good sd card. Of 64 GB. I found this in nice price. I'm not understand in cards.. so I ask here. This is the card
sandisk com/products/memory-cards/microsd/ultra-class10-for-android/
Change the space to .
64 GB..
Its good or search another?

Yes, it's a very good card. Not sure the note 2 can handle 64gb though.

It can handle 64gb cards that's what I'm using.

I've been using a Sandisk UHS 64GB and it's been fine.
You may have a counterfeit SD card. You might want to read this XDA thread.
You might also try formatting is with the "official" SD card formatter (from the SD Association, which AFAICT is a trade association for manufacturers).
Also - the phone's specs state "up to 64GB" but I've seen some posts from folks who say they are using 128s (which is a different format) successfully.
Speaking of counterfeit, if you've found a card for a "really nice price", it could easily be counterfeit (they're f'ing everywhere). I'd stick to places I could return the card - and test it as soon as I got it. In the US, eBay has a "get what you ordered - guaranteed" but I don't know if they're doing this outside the US, and I'm only 95% sure it'd cover a card that turned out to be counterfeit. Wherever you get it, test it right away. Returns are easier if they're soon after purchase.

sd card tips?

My sd card (samsung, this time) is being reported in my Note 8 as corrupted. Now I'm going to lose my photos again. This is really getting to me.
I now only use name brand sd cards, Samsung or Scandisk. This has been happening in all my devices....first my S6. I thought it was just a cheap sd card, but when it happened again with a name brand one, I thought maybe an Android thing with the S6. But then it also happened (one time so far) in my Galaxy Book 12", which is a Windows device. Now, this morning, in my Note 8.
Any ideas why my sd cards seem to occasionally get corrupted for no reason? At this point, I do not believe I can trust any sd cards for strorage. Does it happen to anyone else?

Was the SD card bought directly from Samsung?

I don't think so, since this began I stopped buying from eBay and usually get my cards from Amazon.
Where do people usually buy from? I thought Amazon was relatively safe.

That and if from amazon. Make sure the product is fulfilled by Amazon. That way if stuff fake, they will replace with ease. Walmart another safe bet. Samsung also offers product identification on weather product is fake or not. You just send them pic and they will tell you. I've used that and it's free.
Ebay can be trusted only if seller has a lot of high feedback. Also the product has feedback from people.

Oooo I just had a thought....I installed the mag mount by Pitaka yesterday in my car and used it. Could that have done it? I've never used a magnetic mount before.

Flash memory is immune to magnets because there is nothing magnetic in them. Smartphones basically wouldn't be possible without it. I would just buy SD cards from local electronic or Office stores and don't buy the cheap brands. You may save money online from Amazon but only by a few dollars anymore. Physical stores have realized they need to stay pretty close to online stores prices or face extinction.

Strange...I've used either SanDisk or Samsung SD cards on a few devices over the last 4-5 years and none have corrupted. Maybe a rogue app or something causing a conflict? Seems like too many corruptions to just be bad luck.

NM Memory Card not Working after update to 10.0.0.190

NM Memory card not getting picked up after last update, anyone else experienced this?
Before last update the memory card was chosen as primary storage and was working fine for a while.

I've not seen anyone else mention the same problem so it looks like it's rare.
Im about to buy a genuine Huawei 128GB card but think I'll hold off for now until I see how this thread develops. Or doesn't.
These forums are nowhere near as busy as they used to be. Android has become less open source and development is stifled. Manufacturers not allowing b/l unlock certainly makes things less interesting.
Anyway, I hope you get some good advice here.

I am waiting for a NM card reader to arrive to check that the card is not stuffed (hopefully not so I don't lose everything on it)
The threads have definitely been quite nowadays but hoping for some positive feedback with this problem

OK good luck and keep us informed.
Huawei sure benefitted us with their proprietary nano memory card and associated card reader...... what a great earner.
I have any one of 4 Micro SD cards here that I could have used.

Told you these forums are quiet (dead).
I bit the bullet this morning and ordered a genuine (it better be) Huawei 128GB card for £41.00. Ten minutes later I wanted to check something on the listing and the exact same item had increased to more than £46.00. Crazy

I didn't had any issue with the (original) NM card after .190 update, but I'm not using it as primary storage

I'm also on .190 so I'll post back here and update how things go when my card arrives on Monday.
Thanks @TorpedoGirl

I thought it was dumb too to not have an SD card slot. I guess they got me too as I went with a bigger capacity phone to not have to buy a card.

I got my card delivered a day early, only 3 days from ordering it to arriving from Spain. I've always had great service from Amazon.
The packaging was different from what I'd previously seen, it was much smaller and printed in Chinese so I was a bit wary.
Anyway I checked it out on the Huawei website and it was validated as a genuine OEM card.
After inserting it and powering up I did a format and was surprised to see the capacity showing as:
Used 10.01 GB / 123.81 GB.
It's a new card, I'd not put a single file on it.
I've since copied some music and pictures to it, keeping the original files in internal storage in case there are any problems with the card - hopefully there won't be. I'm still using internal storage as default location.
My phone was on 10.0.0.190 but I got the update to .195 earlier today and so far everything is OK with the NM card.
If I do have anything go wrong I'll update back here.
@gavinwatson
Have you had any luck with your original problem or is your card still not recognised?

Haven't had any luck as of yet, still need to get my card reader to see if the card is still fine, will update when I receive though, once I get card reader, depending on what is on it I might format the phone and try again

OK, I'm interested to see what you find out.
I think its only Huawei that make the NM card reader, it's ~£20 on Amazon UK. I've not seen any other brands.

Sure, np.
I just had a look at that Yaomaisi, it reads SD cards too so that's a bonus - I think the Huawei reads only the NM card.
Things are still OK with my NM card, no problems at all.

I bought a Yaomaisi NM card and it worked flawlessly for 2 months,then wasn`t read at all after an update. Bought a Huawei NM card reader (does both sd and nm) but the Yaomaisi wasnt able to be read in the official reader. I spoke to the seller of the card and they said that only Huawei cards could be read in the official reader and they sent me the Yaomaisi NM card reader and the card was read with no errors - the only problem being that i had to format and put everything back on the card(100gb of music).
So i`ll wait and see what happens with the update to 10.1

NM Card Reader Arrived
I received the NM card reader just now, luckily all my data was still on the NM card that I could see with the reader.
Copied data off, formatted card, inserted into phone and working again.
I think this time I will not be using the NM card as default storage though, not sure if that was the cause but lets see how it goes. (Assuming it might be as the read/writes would be constant with accessing apps over the card)

That's great, no data loss. Hope you have no further problems.
My cards is still functional, hope I also don't have any future problems.

My nano memory card is not being recognized now. It worked fine for six months and was also selected as the primary storage. I'm on update 10.0.0.195. I'm currently waiting for a card reader and also hoping for a happy resolution. If I lose the data l'll be devastated. I used it for taking photos. Six months worth of photos, not backed up anywhere... I have obviously learned my lesson!

OEM Huawei card or generic?
