Hi All,
I have a HTC Fuze. I recently purchased a Transcend 8GB Class 6 microSD card. The problem is even if the card is plugged in memory it shows that its "Not Installed".
I updated the ROM from the HTC site and then It showed the card. But, after that I could transfer the files as it gave me some error. So I kept the card in the provided adapter and pluged into my system to copy all the needed files.
But when I pugged the card back into the phone. It doesnt recognize again and just shows it as "Not Installed" I tried flashing the ROM agian but of no use. The card is not being reconized at all. Please help me how to work it out?
I replaced the card once alread with Transcend!
However, about your card problem, have you tried re-formatting it before using? I'm not sure how well it will work, but at least something worth a try...
Ohh Ya, I have tried it all. Reformat, Soft/Hard reset. Upgraded to new version of ROM. I didnt try the Enerygy ROM, trying to get one. Also I see in the forumns that there are specific format tools to do to. Any idea?
i am having the same problem with my FUZE, I have a 8 GB transcend micro SDHC did you ever get yours to "read" or install it?
Same problem here...
8gb Transcend microsdhc class 6.
Fuze doesn't recognize at all, tried two different roms. It recognizes my non hc card but not the hc card.
You need to post this in the correct forum (i.e Touch Pro). Only Diamond related posts here.
ATT FUZE and 8 Gb Class 6 MicroSD
ATT FUZE and 8 Gb Class 6 MicroSD
I tried everything reflashing phone numerous times, low level formatting microsd card nothing worked or at least not permanently. Bit the bullet and bough another microsd card after some reading but this time a Class 4. I think a Class 2 would have worked also. I don't think it has to do with the brand name and/or size just the Class.
Also had lots of freezing issues with 23081 Roms so went back to a 23420 Rom and have not had a freeze or lockup since. Not naming Roms because it's not the fault of the Roms since these are all Beta builds otherwise we would be stuck with the dull stock Roms. So i'm grateful to be able to have all these choices and I do say choices because no one here is being forced to change their Roms.
Sandisk 16 Gb is a Class 2 so that should be a clear indication that not all devices are able to work with newer storage. Standalone cameras yes but smartphones not so smart.
This is my two cents
I have ordered 2 of these same cards(18 each from Newegg deal).. both of them do not work on my FUZE. They work fine on samsung impression. Tried formatting, reflashing other ROms, TAEL, NRG etc.. no use. Any help???
Sure Fire Fix!!!
I had the same prob..Switch back and forth from the touchflo view to the regular today screen view. in both views insert and take out your memory card it should reappear in your file explorer in one of those views

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?

I have 4GB sandisk sdhc card in my Kaiser and its working withot problem.
Did u try to format the card using fat32?
I just put a 16 gig Sandisk in mine last week I found on Amazon.com for about $65. Works fine.

New owner of Kaiser,I had Artemis and Touch so far,now I want to buy 4gb micro SD card (made by Kingston) for Kaiser, Has anyone had any problems with 4gb miscro SD?Will it work smooth and without any problems?
Thanx in advance
Greets from Serbia!
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
I've searched the forum without much luck so hopefully I won't be flamed..
I am looking at getting either an 8G or 18G Sandisk microSDHC with adapter.. but wondered if anyone else had taken the plunge yet?
Thanks
erosco
*bump*
Isn't there anyone out there brave (nee dumb) enough to try out one of these?
Hello i have 8G Sandisk microSDHC Class 6, trinity dont work corectly, when i soft reset access ton the microSDHC is ok, but when long time arrive access to microSDHC is slow. i return to my "old" miniSD 2go an now access is ok.
microSDHC 8G work fine on touch HD i think my rom drivers is not ok for microSDHC.

Hello!
Tried with a sandisk 16GB SDHC micro. I formatted but the Trinity formatted only for 3 GB :-((.I formatted in a notebook for 16 GB, but the HTC saw the card as a 3GB one :-(
Now I should try another mini adapter, because my one is a little old (used for a 2GB microSD)
Any news on this? I just purchased a p3600 and 16 gb would make it the perfect Phone for me.
Someone else had an 8GB SDHC and in the the trin it showed 0gb but he was able to write/read the full 8gb. Maybe you could try to fill your card to the limit too.
I have a SanDisk 16GB SDHC which didnt work with the original ROM (also only saw approx 3 GB). But updating the ROM fixed it and it now works perfectly. So I guess its a driver thing only.
Wohoooo!
16gb sandisk is on it´s way.
which class is the Card (2,4,6)?
i want to know too. im guessing its a class 2.
I couldn´t find any other than class 2 too. So I guess it is class 2 but I decided to go for 8gb first and maybe upgade to 16gb in March/April when I expect the prices to drop because 32gb will be available in stores.
any link for update?
(shall I update the whole ROM or it's just a littla patch?)
working with WM5 only... (don't wanna upgrade for WM6 :-( )
HTC 6300 and SDHC 16G
Hi, My experience (2 days) is the following:
- PDA recognises the SDHC, with 15,5 GB (iso 16G but this is normal)
- I copied from an old backup lots of programs, etc using a PC and all files are seen by PDA and programs work fine...
- BUT I tried to move files and to install in SDHC card directly from PDA and it does not work.
I am now tying to find a driver or something, but not success for the time being.
(I am using a class 6, HTC P6300 with original WM5)
Hi again,
I heve rechecked and the only failing action is the SW installation in SDHC card (both from PC and from cab file).
Any idea about why installation is failing?
Thanks
Hi people,
I was brave enough to buy last week a Sandisk 16 Gb microSDHC class 2 to use on my HTC P3600. I'm using an old miniSD adapter and my cooked ROM is [PTG] WM6.5.3 OS 5.2.23554 (build 23554.5.5.0) by Antix. I have not installed any other custom sdhc drivers. It is using the original ones that come in the ROM.
I never formatted the card. Not on Trinity or PC. So it has the factory format. I just tested with H2testw to confirm that it was indeed a 16Gb card (I bought from ebay-30€) and also the write speed is 5.8Mb/s.
First impression was that the card worked flawlessly with 15185Mb recognized. I took some photos, installed programs directly to the card, all good.
But then I noticed that 1 in 5 times I reboot the phone, I see some missing icons and it says no storage card inserted. The icons are stored on the card that is why I miss them. To solve this I need to reboot the phone again.
Other than that it seems fine until now. I will update this topic if anything different happens.
Still I would like to hear if anyone has a flawless experience with Sandisk 16Gb microSDHC with some other ROM / drivers.
Twice in the last two months my 16 GB Class 6 AData microSDHC memory card has popped up as being "corrupt" and needed reformatting after powering back up from reboot on my Nexus One.
The first time happened on CM 5.0.3.1, the second time was with CM 5.0.4.1 with the UV kernel. Both times, data could not be read either through the N1, my old G1, or my friend's Droid. Thus a reformat was required and data loss ensued.
Anyone else experiencing occasional data corruption on their SD card? Another friend had it happen to his G1 with an 8 GB microSDHC memory card recently, running the latest CM for the G1, also on reboot and battery swap.
Is there a common thread here? Could it be HTC hardware-related? CM software-related? Just coincidentally two bad memory cards? Me using chinese replacement batteries when swapping out? The UV kernel? Not trying to point fingers or throw stones, just trying to get to the bottom of this...just lost some great pics of a recent vacation I just got back from. Suggestions or hints are welcome!
TIA!
this has happened to me a few times but I was still able to get my data through amon-ra recovery. I think it have something to do with an improper dismount of the card.
I'm curious, what brand of memory were your friends using?
I actually had this happen when my n1 was still stock (16gb class6 card)
I put the sd card in a card reader on my pc, everything was intact so I backed it up, reformatted and still had the n1 report it was corrupt. I ended up having to shut down, remove card, boot up w/o a sd card in, then with the sd card back in I never had the problem again
I know I did a full format the very first time, that 2nd time I had done a quick format. I've done a format recently also via amonra for ext partition and still no problems.
I happend to me few weeks ago. After turned it on ... I couldn't do anything because the screen was black and any key or type of touch was useful ... so I removed the battery and at the next start the SD wasn't readable anymore!
sry 4 my bad english!
erikikaz:
i'm running a 16 GD Class 6 AData memcard in my N1, my friend is running an 8 GB class 6 SanDisk memcard in his G1. Neither of us is running Apps2SD or anything weird.
glad to see i'm not the only one with this issue. was gonna buy a new 16 GB card but saw an article yesterday that sandisk is coming out with a 32 GB class 6 sdhc card in a month so i'll just wait for that one.
Same here
Same thing has happened three times on my Sandisk 16gb. I am running stock everything on nexus..nothing funky app wise.
After the first time it happened I replaced the sd card. It still happens. I have never been able to fix the card other than reformating. Chkdsk /f on win7 gets to 98% then throws an i/o error.
There is something majorly wrong. It seems that it happens in all android phones from time to time not just the nexus one. The consensus online seems to be that it is a mount/dismount issue that corrupts the card. I never mounted or dismounted the card at all with PC and it still happens so not sure what else it could be.
Do you think it is a phone hardware issue that would resolve with a new handset?
Has this ever happened to anybody using the standard 4GB card?
Where did you purchase your micro SD cards? There are a lot of fake/faulty cards being sold. I bought a fake one (unknowingly, obviously) and it kept getting corrupted until I tested it properly using h2testw.
I have the same problem on my nexus! I use an LG 16GB Card and CyanogenMod-5.0.5.3-N1! Any way of recovering the data without amon-ra?

roman

+1 Make sure you dismount from computer first...otherwise this problem will pop up again...and may not be correctable next time. (There's a reason why the phone asks you to properly dismount from computer first)
no **** my n1 has the error message damaged sd card. restarted the phone a couple times and same message. what should i do? i see peoples solutions on this thread but idk where to start. i have a rooted n1 running cyan 5053 with apps2sd
I have had this problem a couple of times too, the latest being this morning
I have a stock N1 with a 16GB Sandisk card. The first time this happened, i went to use the camera and it said insert SD card, even though there was one there, I rebooted the phone and then got the Damaged SD card message.
This morning I was on the train, had been using the phone to read the news earlier with no problems, I got it out of my pocket and screen was black. and the phone completely unresponsive. Removed and replaced battery, booted up and got the Damaged sd card message again.
Both times I have been able to recover most of my files by putting the card in a PC, the first time I found that a couple of my photos were corrupted and unrecoverable, indicating that possibly it was the camera app that may have caused the issue the first time.
This time though, I found that some of my music tracks were corrupted along with one of my videos, and also a directory on the SD called LOST.DIR. Everything else was fine.
Not sure why only these files were affected, as I was not listening to music or watching any videos, so I dont see why the nexus one should have been accessing those parts of the card when it corrupted.
I could not delete the corrupted files, even on my PC, accessing them causes the PC to lock up. The only way to get card working again seems to be a format.
If only the format would work!
Regards,
Roman
Just happened to me as well. Genuine 8gb Sandisk, class 4.
After a reboot Nexus reports corrupted card. It really seems corrupted, I'm unable to read it in a PC or anything else:
[ 1042.673542] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE
[ 1042.673551] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : Medium Error [current]
[ 1042.673561] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error
[ 1042.673571] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 10248
I'm using CM 5.0.4.1 with UV kernel.
It's happened to me, even using the "safely remove hardware" function on the pc. i started just using the unmount on the phone which seemed less problematic.
Yep...add me to the list. Running stock N1 was playing music when it ocurred it started skipping through the tracks fast right before it stopped. It has affected/removed all my pics and left the music.
I'm with you all:
2 times on my Motorola Milestone, using a 16GB class 4 "unbranded" card
3 times on my Nexus, using that same 16GB class 4 card.
2 times on my Nexus, with a 16GB class 6 SanDisk card.
Most times, the data has been available by mounting the card into a PC or Mac directly, though my Mac has seen the card as "read-only" in these cases.
I seem to have this problem after mounting the card onto my work PC, though I don't often do that. I mostly use ADB to copy files. Maybe it is linked to leaving the debugging interface up all the time? I do that and I'm sure that most of you do as well...
Me too
I am using FRF91 MRCr21 and I am on a 800mv 070810 .35 rc4 kernel. Newest 5.00.08.04 radio.
Twice now after using quickboot my phone has reported my SD card damaged and it says I will have to reformat. It is a 8gb class 2 sandisk, real. One time I used quickboot to enter recovery mode and the other was only to reboot the phone. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the best fix? Both times I rebooted my phone was stable. I wasn't downloading or installing anything. Thanks!
My phone can't read the card. If I pull the card and put it directly in my computer it won't read either. Both OS can't read the file system and want me to reformat.
Neither happened due to not dismounting. Anyone correlate the problem with quickboot?
have had zero luck with adata 16GB classs 6 cards. i have gone through 2 of them however their 8 GB card has been awesome
Just had this with a Sandisk 16GB Class 2 card. Inserted into card reader, copied something, popped it back into the phone, corrupt card message. Even the computer says I have to format it.
Hi all.
I have been trying to install CM7/gingerbread over the past couple of days to no availe.
First I tried my 16gb card and now I've tried my 4gb card. Unfortunately, I don't have any smaller, or non SDhc, cards around.
Tried holding the power button, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I have attatched a screen capture of the sd card contents. The "extra" folders at the top were not originally there, but were added when it launched into the normal OS.
One thing that came to mind is I have installed ClockworksMod to internal memory earlier. Could that be screwing up my being able to boot the SD card?

(will attach image later as Dolphin HD won't let me do the pull down for whatever reason)
I found my Nook Color was very finicky about the card. It did not like the Transcend 4 GB class 6 that I had, but worked on some generic 2 GB card that I had leftover.
See if you can get a cheap brand name 2 or 4 GB card and try it with that.
Hey all, recently my external SD card has been developing all sorts of weird characters in it, and all my files are now gone. I have no idea what could be causing it, but there is upwards of 160 of these weird files on there, and I have no idea why. Any thoughts?
I also attached a screenshot of what it looks like from Windows. Thanks.
try reformatting it, make sure when you do its FAT 32 and not ntfs.
Is this a card you bought off eBay? Lots of counterfeit cards there that won't hold data reliably.
It's actually a card straight from Sandisk. I had purchased a 16 gig when I got my Windows Phone 7, then came to find out that 7 pwned sd cards. So I had it RMAed with Sandisk and they sent me a brand new one.
If it helps, I am running Firefly 3.0, Speedmod K13e, and JL3 modem. This only started happening after the update to 3.0.
