Its been a week since Ive been desperately searching with no luck!!!!!!!
I just baought 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 weeks, I think its a windows mobile issue, any tips??
HD2 freezing with microsd
I have the exact same problem.
HD2 + 32Gb Kingston micro SD card (bought from ebay)
Freezes on card insertion. Unfreezes when card is removed.
Found any solution?
Do a google search for SD Formatter.
Try reformatting using that program.
Also, when you're reformatting, don't use the phone, use an external card reader or adapter.

If you ahve bought a 32GB SD card from ebay there is a very high probability that you have bought a FAKE 32 gb card.
If it was cheap its 100% a fake card.
These fake card are actually 1/2/4/8/16GB card but have been modded to report 32GB, some of them you can use but data will get corrupted as soon as you get near the real capacity. Some will just not work from the offset.
Stick your card into your pc via reader/adapter and run it through a drive scanning software and see if its got any bad sectors you will soon know if its fake or not.
The same issue with my 16gb microsdhc. On my friends Samsung Galaxy S it works, on microsd carder it works. But not on my HD2.
I had scanned my microsd with few scanners all of them shown that my SD is in perfect condition.
What about formating? What program should I use? And what formating options should be(file system and etc.)

Fat32, 32KB Cluster, Quick is fine usually but do a normal format to test your card
I red somewhere says that HD2 are compatible with 32GB SDHC class 2 only..
Same problem here…..
Is there any hot fix for the HTC HD2 to solve this problem?
The card is Kingston 32g class 4.

This is an issue that has yet to be solved, unfortunately I cant get any real answer even after searching for weeks. My only solution now is just to buy a 16gb and use the 32gb for some other occasion.

Oh, yes it is. At least mostly true, if not even absolutely true.
I've been using a class 2 32 GB Sandisk micro SDHC card for a year now on my HD, and it will go into my Leo as soon as I get it. Absolutely no problem at all, of course.
It's also the one to use on the HD7 to get the maximum available storage memory.
It was quite expensive when I bought it, but it never bothered me, neither did the Sandisk Compact Flash cards I'm using with my goo old Canon EOS 350D camera.
Some Kingston memory card seem to have compatibility issues with some devices (I'm thinking about EeePCs, too, as it's a very frequently reported problem), but it may be essentially related to higher speeds, as those cards drain too much current. The symptoms are exactly the same : the device will sometimes boot when mains powered, but will crash as soon as you disconnect the mains plug, and won't boot at all from battery power.
The HD2 (and HD7, as it's exactly the same hardware) is known for not loving too much current consuming memory cards, so you'd be wise to stick to class 2 only, as it's supposed to be what HTC recommends.
If you still want to use class 4 or 6 cards... Then don't complain if it doesn't work.
And no, it is not "absolutely true". While the HD2 may not r/w any faster no matter the card, any class will work just fine.

Easy. I always first format my cards using a card adapter and a windows machine.
I know for a fact that class 6 microsdhc 32GBs work. It's what I have in my phone now. I also use a 32gb class 2.
I'm using a Kingston card. I've formatted, the computer sees a mass storage device with 30.2 gb available. However it locks the phone up in the boot sequence. Any Ideas?

What program did you use to format it?
One recommended app, outside of the built-in windows app, is SD Formatter:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
(Link leads to the SD Association, of which I have no affiliation.)
If you have a card adapter, format it there instead of while inside the phone. Good luck
You suggestion is right.
Correctly formatting the card first generally solves most of the problems.
However, most high class micro SDHC cards will probably drain too much current from the phone. You have to find a really serious brand, and a really good one.
I've tried the posted formatting tool. Is there a setting or something I'm missing? After an hour of formatting, nothing, same problem.
I put the card in a 3 year old blackberry curve I had before the HD2, and no problem. I then put an 8gb class 6 card I had in that same blackberry into my HD2 and it worked fine.
I'm trying not to have to return this card because I don't want to wait another week and a half for back shipping etc.. Please give me some hope

Hi!
I understand that HTC Kaiser (TyTN II) support SD 2.0 standard, which allow it to use microSDHC memory card.
Yesterday, I have found a Kingston 4GB microSDHC memory card at one retailer shop, I want to buy it. So I asked the storekeeper for a test by inserting the 4GB card into TyTN II card slot. The result, TYTN II do not recognize or see the microSDHC card from Kingston at all.
I have read in other forum that TyTN II can use Sandisk or Toshiba microSDHC card up to 4GB without the need of any driver of anything.
So what's the problem? My Kaiser use released ROM (WM6) and it work fine with 2GB microSD, but why it do not work with microSDHC?
Can any friend explain why? and can you help me get my TyTN II to work with 4GM microsSDHC?
Thank for advaice

Same here. And I also have tested the 8GB. Also worked fine.
I own Kingston 4GB microSDHC, works like a charm The problm may be in the card or your device. First of all try inserting the card when device is switched on.
Don't forget, maybe it was a shonky card in the first place?

It may not have been properly pre-formatted either, sometimes the factory format isn't perfect.
I also use 4GB Sandisk card. The only problem is it get's stuck (U can't remove it just by giving it a little push after wich it's supposed to pop out).
In some other thread there is a discussion of this problem and someone recommended "going round the edges with a paper clip" wich I didn't understand. Can someone who has solved the issue give me more details about the solution?
All in all 4GB Sandisk card seems to larger than normal.
I was about to buy a 4gb Kingston Micro SDHC on the weekend, but held off because my Sandosk 2gb isnt even half full.
It was a class 4 which i presume is faster than my Sandisk 2gb.
Im curios to know what the Kaisers actual sustained transfer rates are with the SDHC cards.
Imo, Kaiser will not be able to use full speed of the card even if it was 0.5 class =)) Higher class card only works faster through card-reader, not in the device or through Card Export.
I've also noticed, that my kingston is hard to get back from the device, but i think it is the problem of the slot cover - it really s*cks.

Is your Kingston a SDHC? And did you get a card reader with it?
When i had my HTC P3600i i found that whilst running TomTom6 off my microSD and selecting 6 types of POI it would hang as i beleived it would 'time out' as the data transfer rate was slower than allowed. This was using a Sandisk 1Gb MicroSD in a miniSD adaptor.
Hence why i am genuinely curious to know what is the actual sustained data transfer rate of the Tytn II.
Yes, it is microSDHC (I doubt you find microSD 4Gb large), cardreader was purchased separately. I'm almost sure, that inner kaiser controller will not be able to transfer data to main memory at rates close to the specified in the class description. Though, I also doubt, that you TomTom problem had anything in common with SD data transfer rate. I'm sure you were able to watch video from it (your card), and it is about 1500kbit/sec (HQ) - far more then needed to perform any searching operations. Practically, I've noticed, that copying files through cardreader is about 5 times faster than through CardExport and not sure this was device USB limitation.
After reformatting the 4GB Kingston micro SDHC card, it work OK!
Thank for advise! The shopkeeper thank me a lot, saying that if you don't tell me to format the card, I will never know!
Thank guys!

see the third post from this very thread
Hey guys,
I've been having a great deal of trouble with my cheap Transcend 8gb class 6 card . . . spontaneous unmounts, lots of finicky behavior all around. Having the apps on the SD means the phone crashes, and the app permissions get borked to hell.
I've heard these are not very good cards (you get what you pay for in this case) and are known to have problems with the G1 . . . or the G1 is known to have problems with them. Either way, perhaps some of you can help me:
-Are the Transcends indeed "problem cards?"
-Has anyone had one, gotten fed up with the crashing, replaced it, and is in good working order?
-If that's the case, what are some known good cards I can get to replace it?
Thanks!
they are not problematic, they are just not compatible enough! Every device has issues with every other sd card no matter what. I been buying sd cards and I have had problems with these since the day they were born.
In my opinion, transcend are one of the more compatible sd cards. Funny thing is I use a sandisk on my phone and I always had issues with sandisks before on other devices.
First things first, Transcend are by no means a 'cheap brand'. They actually make some of the more expensive memory cards you can buy, and they are very good. My memory card is a Transcend, an 8GB Class 6 like yours.
The difference is that my one has never failed me. It's actually very fast. Furthermore, Transcend are known for making good memory cards. Maybe you just got unlucky with your one.
I ordered the A-Data class 6 to replace my class 4 sandisk based off raving reviews. I havent read much for negative reviews on the A-Data lineup, even though they are a smaller company
I had a transcend 8gb class 6 card that failed completely (can't even access from a PC). When it failed, and due to my apps to sc and other changes, my phone wouldn't boot without a card. I had to install the 128 mb card once I got home and re-update from scratch. When the transcend card worked, it was fast. I've used other cards of theirs in my cameras for a while now, and they've been very good. But this failure caused a bit of a headache for me. I'm at the point where if I see any problems with my sd card, I'll simply replace it to avoid worse problems. Wouldn't have helped in this case as I saw no signs before hand. If it means much, I'd try another transcend card again.
Sorry, didn't mean to bash Transcend undeservedly. So maybe it's just an issue particular to their cards and the G1?
Thread moved to Dream Q&A, please post in the correct place; not dev related.
i went through 2 4gb class 6 adata cards that wouldn't work at all after i partitioned them. phone would bootloop regardless of rom. it worked great if i left all fat32....very strange.
orange that should be a good card. if you have any way to put it into your computer and try to format it, via a usb conector ect. then give that a go. other wise it could be the rom your on, what type of rom are you using or is it stock?
Don't base your purchase decision on the Class classification. Sandisk's Class 2 cards have known to have stellar performances under ATTO.

Cyanogen Mod. Latest (4.2.12.2) but I've had this problem in previous versions. A friend's G1 has experienced similar problems with the same Transcend 8gb card, and I vaguely recall hearing warnings against using that brand w/ the G1, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
For now, I've deleted the EXT and swap partitions from the card and did a wipe so that all apps are running from internal memory. I haven't noticed any unmounts today, but last night the phone was unusable and this same sort of thing has happened before with the same card in both my original G1, and the warranty replacement (the warranty replacement was for an unrelated issue).
Saw this card on Newegg today. Pretty cheap for a Class 10 16GB card and reviewers state it meets Class 10 standards, and that it appears to be a rebranded Samsung card, so it is a quality product.
Android only supports Class 6, meaning this card should be plenty quick, and will utilize full Class 10 potential during file transfers over USB.

I bouth this card from newegg and ive been using it about a week now and it works great not a snag at all

Wintec 16gb CL10
Just got the Wintec 16gb CL10 from Newegg, put it in my Sprint Hero to format and as soon as it finish saying setting SD card the screen locked up. removed battery/ installed and saw installed apps icons were gone in its places gear icon. Installed original 8gb and app icons were back but apps came up with FC. removed each app and reinstalled and they work fine now. I'm afraid to put the 16gb back in, it seems fine in my laptop. I have no idea whats wrong!
I got one of these around Christmas. Formatted, partitioned and transferred my stuff. I thought all was well until I had to restore a nandroid and it bootlooped. I put my old 8G Sandisk back in and haven't tried again. So my experience was it worked about a week. I guess it's a write/read issue. I had trouble with recovery mounting the card to even see my backups. I had read reviews of spotty quality and I guess I had the bad luck of the draw.
hmmm ok then I guess i'll pass on this one. I want to get one that'll last so i can transfer it to a new phone when i upgrade.
on htc website, it says microSD 2.0 compatable, & i know some phones can only support so much extra storage, ie: some say microSD up to 16gb, so maybe the hero doesnt support high capasity cards.
anybody got a conformation on how big a microsd card we can go, that wont cause issues.
i was looking @ this card in the OP, but now im double thinking.

I bought the wintech 16 gig card back in january and 15 days later I woke up and my phone said the sd card was not formatted. Both windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10 only saw the card as 1 gig but neither could format it nor create new partition tables. I lost all the data but luckily had a semi recent backup on my computer. RMA'ed it back to newegg and got a 16 gig class 6 card from a more reliable manufacturer.

I have a problem with 16 GB SDHC cards. I'm using nFinityROM 1.15 and when I insert an SDHC card it works for a couple of hours and then it just says something like unrecognized file system. When I remove and reinsert the card it says “Damaged SD card”. I cannot format the card with the phone (nothing happens) and my computer does not even recognize it.
I have tried two different brands (not budget cards) and the result is the same, an ordinary SD card works though.
I figured it could have something to do with the rom so I unrooted the phone and bought a 4 GB SDHC card and it have now worked for two days.
Does anyone else experience the same problem?
Have anyone tried nFinityROM 1.15 with an SDHC card?
Have anyone tried any 2.2 or 2.x rom with an SDHC card?
Wrong post
this post not related to tattoo general should move to tattoo accessories
Gee, thanks, nice of you to at least answer the questions while you bother with posting
Sorry for posting in the wrong part of the forum, if I could move it I would.
A lot of us here have 8 GB, but don't know about 16 GB. That is 8 times the capacity of the HDD in my old laptop!
I have just switched from nFinity1.18 and had no problems with my 16gb card.
I have just flashed nFinityGB-0.5 and still have no issues. Either upgrade to Nfinity 1.18 or you could try formatting the SD card to see if it resolves the issue (don't forget to format FAT32 and back it up first.
hope this helps.
I have tested and noticed that memory cards that are class 4 speed/specification do not work on the phone, so you should check that out.
Do the cards still work on other devices? I had a similar problem where my HTC Tattoo (unrooted back then) kept permanently corrupting memory cards: it fried any card I inserted in like 2 weeks. I had to send it back to HTC and they replaced all the internals. If your problem sounds similar, I'd check your warranty and send it back to HTC so they can fix it for you. Don't forget to revert to the original (unrooted) RUU. Good luck!
This sometimes happens to me. I have a 4GB card. So I don't think this is a issue on the SD card.
Thanks for the answers
The SD cards became totaly fried, did not work at all. After reflashing to stock and the 4 GB card had worked for like 4 days I rooted and flashed nFinity 1.18 and the 4GB card have worked since. I will use it as long as it works, if it breaks then I will send the phone to HTC.

I'd the same issue with my 16GB cards so I switch to my 4GB and it had work for 6 month ( 2 weeks on nFinity Rom)

Or maybe 8GB card will work on Tattoo.

Still working?
Because my girlfriends Tattoo killed 3 SD Cards (Class 2 8GB SanDisk). And the Tattoo from her brother killed SD Cards too. Only the stock (came with it) works. Buut it´s only 2GB Class 2.
Have no money to try more cards...
So would be nice to know, if it´s because of a wrong ROM...
The 4GB card (class 2) is still working like a charm
I have no idea why the cards get fried but I don't think the rom matters. My card has survived arcos roms, nFinityROM (Froyo) and nFinityGB (Gingerbread) and ofcourse the stock rom. My guess is that it has to do with the hardware but I don't know.
btw have you tried to return the cards to the store? I changed my cards when they got fried. They braged about "life time guaranty" so they hade no choice when I showed up with a fried card

My goldcard never worked with my 8GB, it used to get corrupt. I found an old 512MB card from an older phone and made it a goldcard. It worked fine.
Then I formatted my 8GB and use it as a general purpose storage.
BTW, I format with GParted on Ubuntu and never have problems with read/write on phone.
But... what is the problem? Does the tattoo give problems with fast cards or slow cards?
And.. in your opinion, will a "patch" in the ROM fix this? i mean if the SD driver is rewritten including a limitation to the speed, will it work?
I have a 8GB SDHC card (i don't remember the class but i will test it with crystaldiskmark) that seldom works..

Let us know if you find a 128GB that your VS986 is happy with.
I use the 64GB version of that exact PNY card in another phone without any issues for several weeks months now., then bought a Samsung 128GB because I needed a larger card.
I am actually using a Lexar 128gb in my h815 no problems at all. Also have a second one in my v500 which works fine too. No unmounting problems at all.

Sony's firmware has a own sd card knowing system. I have used my Xperia Z1 for 2 years, whenever I plug a new sd card it was offering me format it or it was scanning almost 5 minutes.
I suggest you format it first ExFat then format it FAT32 in windows. After you plug in the phone format it in settings- storage-format sdcard.
If your sdcard is not broken or it had not harware problem, above instructions will fix all problems...

I know a few people who use 64GB and 128GB microSDs from PNY for some time now. No issues so far. Chances are that some of them were fake. Happens everywhere. I bought a dozen of 32GB and 64GB of Samsung microSDs respectively. Two of the 32GB ones and four of the 64GB ones turned out to be obvious fake and surely enough, didn't work after a few write cycles. Also the colors didn't match, some didn't even had the S/N printed on the back. Wasn't even bough on some weird internet marketplace. I bought the from a legitimate local store in bulk.

For that very same reason https://www.raymond.cc/blog/test-an...b-flash-drives-bought-from-ebay-with-h2testw/
I now run h2testw on all storage devices I buy, no matter the source.
Now this card works 100% with C5 ultra.
I had issues with the first one that I had, but Amazon sent me a replacement and it has been fine.
my card too got corrupted the other day, the data is still on there but everytime i put it in the phone it says its corrupted. when i try to access it on the pc i can't format the card because it says it write protected

Were you able to read the files from the SD card using your PC to save them? Is the phone unable to format the SD card?
You might want to give this a try for formatting in PC: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html

1. Try formatting in the phone or another device without microSD adapter.
2. Try a different microSD adapter with PC for formatting and confirm write protect switch is off.
3. If one and two fail, return to seller or RMA to PNY.
Backup up data firstly, of course .

...or use a stand alone dedicated micro SD reader.
I also tried the PNY 128gbyte sd card (it was on sale). My G4 just spit it out no matter what I tried. Also an older 32 gbyte Kingston one.
What ony seems to be working is a high tier version, like the Sandisk extreme (90 MB/s)
The 128gb PNY works fine in my Note 10.1 2014 though
Nexus 4 & 7 (root), Note 10.1 2014 (root), LG G4 H815 (stock)
I'm using a Sandisk 128 GB card with no problems. FYI.
