I bought a 32 GB card on Ebay last week (I know, I know). It is one of the cheaper card, however, when I load music on the card, all the music plays fine on the computer. When I put the card into the Hero, all but 2 gb get thrown into the lost.dir.
I have run the test I am currently running the h2testw utility on the card.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am running fresh 3.2.2

Santa is bringing me a 16GB card for my AT&T Tilt (HTC 8925 WinMo 6.1). I'm currently using an 8GB card, and nearly all of my programs are installed to it. I have spent hours...no...DAYS getting my phone how I want it, so I'm understandably nervous about the prospect of changing cards.
Should I just copy the 8GB card onto the 16GB card, or should I instead do a hard reset bloatware removal and start from scratch. Now that I'm a little more experienced, it shouldn't take as long to install everything.
If anybody has advice, I'd be glad to hear from ya. Not long ago, I copied my own Garmin Mobile XT card to my 8GB card (with a few little hacks). I know Garmin won't work if I copy the 8GB card to the 16 GB card due to the piracy protection that uniquely identifies the storage card, but the other programs should transfer okay, right?
Thanks in advance.
If you use your PC to move everything off of the 8GB to the 16GB, there should be absolutely no problem (unless certain files just won't move) with, of course, the exception of programs that are secured. However, I can't think of any other programs that would give you trouble.
I did the same when I upgraded from 1 gig card to 8. I copied all the files to a folder on PC, turned off phone, switched to the 8 gig card and then copied old files back to new card. As long you don't erase all the old info from the 8 gig and just copy and paste to the 16 gig, you should have no probs.
This may just be a case of me being genuinely unlucky in my purchases but humour me anyway!
Like you lot I have an SGS and with all the recent mods regarding sound I like to use it as my mp3 player, so buying a micro sd card for additional storage was a must.
I had a spare 4gb class 2 card lying around so I've been using that for some months. Finally decided to upgrade to a more meaningful 16gb class 4 card.
Ordered one off Amazon through a seller. As soon as I put the card in the phone, it refused to recognise it but my PC, digital camera, old blackberry 9000 and n95 saw it just fine. So I formatted the card in the pc using the downloadable SD Card formatter as some googling suggested this might return the card to a working state. After that the phone saw a 16gb card, so I copied some music onto it, it worked for about 30 mins and then the card died totally. Upon reinserting it into the pc, windows only saw an 8mb card in RAW format and nothing I've done since has recovered the card. Card was dead.
Anyway I contacted the seller who posted me a nice shiny Kingson 16gb class 6 card right away.
New card arrived last night, appeared in the phone straight away as a 16gb card. Great start.
Plugged the phone in, started copying some music on it - the write speed was incredibly slow. I mean really slow, 100mb of mp3s was taking the best part of 3 minutes. Popped the card in the PC, same problem.
I find that I can actually write data to the card till its full (albeit slowly) but once you've written more than around 4gb of data, the files start to vanish.
I know it sounds incredibly stupid but anything written after around the 4gb mark just doesn't appear when I plug it into the phone or the PC. The card claims it is full, but only 4gb of data is visible, let alone accessible. I've done the usual formatting of the card and changing card readers etc etc but the result is the same and this is starting to grow boring.
So, question. Am I just incredibly unlucky in my purchases or is my SGS killing cards? Because I'm quite weary of buying yet another card now.
Funny enough my old 4gb card still works just fine like it has for years.
I know you'll have a FAT (file allocation table) that usually reserves a predetermined amount of space on the card for file locations. But your memory card should not be able to accept more than whats available and should be displayed correctly no matter what your using. IE pc or phone. Kingston are fairly reputable, but is your dealer reputable. There are a lot of counterfeits out there. I don't believe the phone itself is damaging these cards. Since your stating your old trusty card still works like a champ

i had no real idea where to put this, so since i will be using it in my nook i figured id try here.
Wintec microSD class10 16Gb
i bought this new micro SD card for my nook. i put it into my card reader to format it (fat32 is the only option).
when i quick format it goes fine, then i try and put stuff on it and i get a dependency error and windows explorer crashes (not responding).
when i do the regular format, it gets all the way to the end and says "fromat can not be completed" and windows explorer crashes (not responding).
try it in another computer with the exact same results. is the SD card bad? i havent done anything with it. i took it out of the package and straight into the card reader.
bought it from newegg. should i contact newegg first or wintec?
You aren't the only one that has had problems with that card.
I have one and it works, but speeds are class 4 at best. A little under that actually.
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?

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.
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

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.
