1 GB Dane-elec Xs work fine on my Qtek 2020i(XDA2i)
you may format card before use

I have you tried any other card in your XDA IIi.
I have a DANE-ELEC 1 GB SD card and a INOV8 512 MB cards
and both work well.
Sorry I can't be of more help
Muzza

Kingston 2 GB (30651-001.A00LF p799861x01)work as well,
maybe i should have purchase a 4 GB :wink:

Scandisk 1GB SD card working fine!

transcend 2gb 150x absolutely fine work =))
maybe you have bad card? or maybe format it via cardreader can help..

My Kingston 2GB works great on the device, might be a case of a bad card for you, tried it on any other devices?

Worked
I use Kingston 1Gb SD card... 50x and it works fine... maybe your battery is dying

I think theres still a 4gb SD card at work which I'll give a go tomorrow if I get a chance.
I work at CeX in Brighton, England, and we get a lot of different types of memory cards in. So far I'm just using a standard SanDisk 512mb card, but will eventually get a 2 or 4gb (the 4gb we have is £120 >.<)

Kingston SD Card 1GB works fine on my XDA IIi. What brand do you use anyway?

XDA IIi definately supports up to 4gb (150x) cards.

I just got a "Topram' 4gb 150X...despite formatting both via card reader and my device it will not read...

Does it show the card size in the Memory cp? Or can you just not transfer files to and from it?

neither...as soon as I insert it into the 2i I am asked to format it to make the card ledgible...so I agree...but it still does not show up at all. Neither in memory size menu or file explorer.
I have formatted it via card reader on the compeuer too...It accepts files via card redaer so the card itself is ok.
But every single time I insert it into the PDA it asks me to format it again and it never shows up.

bit off topic but as anyone else had a problem with SD/MMC cards working for a while (sometimes as little as 6 months other times over a year) then totaly stopping ie show as not being there in any card reader, only to come back to life after about 12 months stuck in a draw. I have had this with 2 cards so far and got 1GB card in the draw at the moment which stopped working just as I put some important files onto it

SD Cards
I have a 4GB Transcend, 2GB SanDisk and a 512MB Unbranded and they all work perfectly fine in my xdaIIi, maybe your card reader is a bit iffy?
EDIT: By card reader I mean the bit that you insert the card into the xdaIIi

It may simply be certain makes of cards that work, and certain that dont. All you can do is hope the retailers let you try before you buy

erm... u made sure u formated them as FAT not FAT32? i had no end of probs with my 2020 when i did that, and the 1gb unbranded card i have in my 2020i is FAT and works fine, as most hand helds and camera (i use it in my konica/minolta SLR digital, it hates FAT32 file systems too) format them as that and jobs a good one!

[Solved] Not A Fake

EDIT: Nevermind. I'm new to OSX and didn't realize that when I delete a file on the sd card it doesn't actually delete the file until I empty trash on mac.
I bought a 16GB Class 6 Adata micro sdhc card from Newegg several months ago. I never thought there was any issue with the card as it showed up as 16GB on my PC and in phone settings.
Yesterday the sd card memory was full which seemed weird since I knew I didn't have that much data on there. On my PC it said the sd card was 15.9GB full out of 16GB. I roughly added up the size of all the files on the SD card and it came out to slightly under 4GB. It appears my 16GB sd card is really a 4GB sd card.
Has anyone else had this experience with the Adata 16GB card from Newegg? I know it was a fairly popular buy.

Micro SD

hi, i have a micro sd 4gb class 6 and my phone works fine, When i put the original micro sd 8gb class 2, the notification icon of "preparing SD" doesn't dissapper and when the screen go off i can't turn it on because never shows me the screen, only the inferior buttons lights on (nothing i can press) and i have to pull over the battery to make the phone works, i put a micro sd 8gb class 4 and the same happens, i've tried to increase the cache memory to 2048 bytes using "SDBOSTER" and nothing happens with the micro sd 8gb, but my micro sd 4gb works faster.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem? i want more space in my external memory.
I'm using original eclair 2.1-update ROM

Hey jp23,
I recently encountered this problem with my stock 8 GB class 2 card, while transfering files in bulk to the card. I use linux on my laptop and there is a known bug in one of the drivers which causes failures while tranfering large amounts of data in one go. For me it caused the same issue, and thats usually because the card is temporarily corrupted.
For me the fix was buying a microSD card adapter and formatting the card once through the computer and not the phone. I also bought a 16GB class 4 card in the process.
I suggest formatting your card via a card reader or adapter and then trying it on your phone. Although I find it odd how both of your cards can have the same problem. Hope this helps.

I've tried this before and works when the card storage it's <1gb, when i put some mp3 files and pass 4gb or more the same thing happen.
i don't know what to do...

Did you do a scan and repair using windows? That fixes it for me

format it with LLF low level format from hd guru, it always fix my sd card whenever it corrupted.

My card it's not corrupted, i've checked that before.
I bought a micro sd 8gb class 4 and set format as fat32 and put it on the phone, then i connected to the pc using sd adapter to put some music and videos, and when i put the sd back to the phone got the same issue...

I updated to BRAVO yesterday and have no solutions for my micro sd 8gb class 4

i have a similar issue with my 8gb stock sd card too, when i try to open the media gallery or push the media gallery button, my phone shows me that there's a problem with read/write into the sd card... =(
always it says me : "Failed to Read/Write SD Card" and also i cant record any hd video cuze when i try to do it, the video get freeze and stop to record ..
im thinking to buy another sd card, maybe 10 class ..

Here is a reason and fix for this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262030&highlight=failed
But I do recommend getting a c10 card for the speed.

I have same problem, you should update your phone to 2.3, you will out of this.

I just purchased a Micro Innovations Wireless keyboard for my Zaurus-SL5600, but theres a problem; I dont know how to physically set it up to work. I can type with it, and the Z recognizes it fine, but the problem is that the Z has its infra-port on its side, so I cant use the stand The keyboard has it just above the w key, and I dont know how I could rotate the screen.. Does anyone have any ideas?
Yack

Too bad with micro sd

Question about increasing storage please

Hi can someone tell me if my note 4 already comes w SD card? I'm out of storage all of a sudden and not sure what or if or what kind of card to buy. Will this mame the phone faster. So slow lately.
Also, if I do buy one not sure size, brand, etc.
Thanks guys

No, the note 4 does not come with an external SD card. It has 32gb of internal storage and if you filled that up then you will have to buy an external SD card. Just buy either a 16 or 32 or hell even a 64gb SD card....brand wise I guess San disk that's what mine is and I've never had issues with any of mine.

The Note 4 supports SD cards. You'd have to buy one that suites your needs.
On another note, have you tried clearing your cache? Checking out what is taking up all your memory? Might want to check these first.

Note for does support SD card. I have a 128gb SD card on my note 4 that works like a charm.

Samsung is known to have problem with sandisk cards. For peace of mind stay with samsung brand of sd cards. Putting card in phone wont solve your problem instantly. You will need to do some work first. Move all your pictures, videos and music to sd card to offload internal storage. Use aplication manager and move some of yours apps to sd card. Setup your canera aplication to use sd card while taking pictures. Use Smart Manager to clean unnecessary files.

Thread moved to proper forum.

SD Card Read only?

Greetings!
I purchased a new SD card from SanDisk with 400GB.(didn't use my old one on this phone because of low storage size)
My problem is that i'm unable to copy/move/delete files to my SD card.
I can't even create a new folder.
I tried several explorers and activated the permissions for writing but no success.
I was also trying another SD card but the same problem.
If I format the card over my phone as internal storage the phone freezes, formatting as external storage is working though.
I also formatted the card on my PC but still the same issue.
Remounting the card in the settings sometimes works for a few seconds.(creating a folder,etc..)
My razer phone 2 has the newest FW with Android 9.

Heya buddy,
Just a quick enquiry, from where did you purchase your MICROSD? it sounds like you may have a fake card, the memory size is worrying indication, normally cards are sold in denominations of 32, 64, 128, 512,GB not 400 GB. Have you run a check to see if it's reporting the correct capacity size on a SD card checker. Sounds like it's a fake and when it tries to format, it goes into a loop state and crashes as the card is formatted over and over and over trying to reach the stated size but never reaches it due to it not being 400gb in size.
Sorry to spread the bad news, have had the same happen to me, I am so dam careful over which company I buy my cards from.
Let me know if I can help.
Yours
CLG

Phone says it has 393GB.
I bought it on amazon. Its a SanDisk Ultra 400GB that also appears on the official homepage. I'm pretty sure its not a fake.

Ok, that clears up the possibility of it being fake good good..
..hmmmmm. Do you have any old phones at your disposal that have a card slot? If so,. Try it in those and see if you can access it and read/write/modify files on it. Maybe format it with another device and then stick it in the razer and see if it works.
I'm sure now that cards a real deal as Amazon don't seem to allow frauds to be sold the only other thing I can think of is that it's a faulty card, it happens, they are just mass produced. Maybe a replacement if it's dudd.

I am having an SD card issue as well. I have had my Razer Phone 2 since last Monday brand new from Ebay. I purchased a Samsung 128GB class 10 (u3) SD card for it from Amazon. If I format the SD card as "internal", it shows that there is 131GB's of system files on my SD card. It shows I'm using 131GB's of storage from a total of 320GB's. The Razer Phone 2 has 64GB;s plus my 128GB SD card which would be 192GB;s total. I have tried many file manager apps, move to SD apps, etc and I cannot transfer any files. When I format the 128GB SD card as "portable", it shows the correct amount of storage space in both the phone and the card but once again I cannot transfer any files to the card. I have tried a 16GB SD card as well. The phone did recognize it and read the available storage on the phone and the card correctly. I did not format that card as I have music, photos and documents on it. I did try to transfer an app from my phone to the 16GB card and once again I could not do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance and take care.

I have had similar problems with my Razer2. It ruined a 512g scandisk brand microsd card. Copying, or moving files, is a real problem for this device! It hangs up sometimes and ruins the files. Never had these issues, this bad, with any other phone

I have a bunch of music on my SD card, my music app sees some of them. If I move the whole folder to my phone storage, music app sees all. If I boot to twrp (per arters kernel) and try to backup to external SD card, it fails. If I save it to the phone, works fine. It's like it doesn't constantly see the SD card slot properly.

Exfat is needed with art kernel. Stock formats as vfat a old file system. I have a 400gb exfat formatted and works perfectly

I'll have to look into getting that kernal
