"SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem" --arghh
I recently bought a Class 10, 16gb card from Patriot and RMA'ed it because it kept declaring itself damaged sometimes (although it did work for weeks at a time). Now the new card they shipped me doesn't work at all in my Captivate.
It seems to work in everything except my Captivate (which is where I actually need it to work). It works in my father's Motorola Bravo, in my Canon Camera, and in my computer's SD card reader.
But when I put it in my Captivate, it'll say "SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem". When I try to format it, it won't actually do anything. Sometimes it won't read the card at all, it'll be like I never inserted it.
My Captivate works perfectly with all the 2gb cards I have which are probably Class2's. I'm clueless what is wrong.
Some class 10 cards will not work well in phones. Sorry mate.
It's certainly seeming like that's the case. Oh well. At least I can use it in my camera.
Are class 6 cards ok to use with a Captivate? Is that the highest class that's fully supported?
Works just dandy in my cappy...

Did you try formatting with your computer, then inserting into phone? Used to have a phone that would only take card that way.
I've tried formatting on the computer both through windows and the SD card formatting utility from the SD card group. I've tried everything... my captivate hates that card even though my computer and father's phone have zero issues with it.

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
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.

All SDHC cards I have tried is class 2 cards.
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)
My 16 Gb cards works fine on my daughters Huawei phone :-(
Maybe try to buy a budget 16GB card class 2 card?
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..
I'm having issues with my tab not recognizing files from the sd card, Ill put media or videos on the card and they will be deleted whenever I transfer the card to my tab or disengage usb mode. It occurs when using oldmacnuts better than life rom or cm7. I thought 32gb cards were compatible with the tab, am I wrong?

Might be an issue with the card there are a LOT of 'hacked' memory cards out there. A 2gb card is firmware hacked to read as a 32gb card by PC/Laptop/Tablet, then a three is printed on the card before the 2gb to look like a 32gb card. Try formatting the card and only put a few files on it (less than 2gb) and try it to find out if the same problems occur. If the card works fine then its probably a hacked 2gb card, with the hacked card it does appear as if more than 2gb files are on it but on trying to play the files (once you go over the 2gb) the card throws up different errors and will not play the file or files.
I have a 32gb Adata class 10 card that works perfectly in my Tab. Stock, Better than Life, and now CM7, all read it just fine. Sounds like you might have a bad card like ericbt32 mentioned.. depending on where you bought it you might have been scammed.

For those who wonder if their card is fake or not, try the card in HDTUNE. Look at the attached pic , it's fake microSD 32GB, the curve shows the true capacity (here 2GB) ,then jump and display a perfectly straight line.

So I was just taking some pictures with my Xperia T, after a few shots, the camera app said it couldn't save the pictures because there was no memory card installed.
I have a 32GB Kingston memory card that's worked flawlessly since I bought it and has never been taken out of the phone since purchase.
How do I fix this?
Thanks for any help guys.
EDIT; the SD card doesn't show up in Windows/ doesn't show up in settings > storage/ can't run Chkdsk on it/ fails to work in Recovery.
Try formatting it. If not im guessing the hardware has problems.

That means it's broken.
I had similar problem and found others have too, Xperia T seems to be breaking cards.
The solution was keep trying the card in your computer, then do a full format to FAT32.
Took me about 15 attempts.
Had the same issue awhile back. Happened right after I watched a movie via MHL. The phone cannot detect the sdcard suddenly. Though card can be detected as a 36MB memory only when inserted in PC. Tried many different things to revive the sdcard but to no avail. Bought new sdcard, this time a Samsung 32GB class 10. Last card was a 32GB class 10 SanDisk one.

Sucks when that happens.
What kind of card did you use, normal microSD, SDHC or SDXC? As only SD and SDHC are supported (SDXC also if formatted differently I believe). If you are using the last 2 formats then make sure your cardreader is capable of reading them else your pc won't see it. For now the only thing I can say is to go look on the Kingston site for any tips/prog to recover/format your card.

Anyone know what types of microSD cards should work for the S5? I have a Sandisk Ultra 32GB microSD card and it worked and displayed the pictures on it for about 3 minutes before saying it was removed. Re-seating it doesn't even bring it up anymore.

That should work. I'm using a larger card from the same line. Mine is the SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 it works in the S5 and it worked in the S4.

Your card might also be at the end of it's life. These things have a finite number of read/writes before they start to deteriorate. How old is the card? If it is new, then you just have a defective one and should try taking it back.
Have you tried formatting microSD from device?

The card is about two years old. I formatted it on my S3 and copied a bunch of pictures/music/movies over from my computer to it while the phone was plugged in via USB. Now trying to use the same card in my S5 and its been wonky
Used different sd cards and had same issue. Did some research a few days ago b/c was having same issue. . It was reported that S5 had locked write access from other application when intentionally initiated. For example: You can take picture and it will copy to SD care but if you" Folder sync", it will give you error msg that permission is denied.
