Another one bites the dust :-(

Been using a Kingston 1GB SD card for the last 4 months with no problems at all, until yesterday :shock:.
I was downloading the a file from the internet via GPRS directly to the SD card. The browser locked up the PPC so I had to reset it. Now the card is completely dead, whatever device I put it in.
What have I learned from this?
1. The XDA 2i kills SD cards if it is reset whilst writing to the card.
2. Don't use flakey apps to write to the SD card, or download from the internet directly to the SD card!

yup my xda2i killed on of my sd cards as well can't read it on any device

same card same problem ... later some freeze and soft reset my sd kingstone 1gb is missing and also winxp don't format!!
i have seek this utility to format my sd and now all run good!!

TYTN2 micros sd card not recognised

Help,
After i flashed my KAISER i have a problem. The sd card is not recognised anymore. Is there a solution for this problem?
I hope so, otherwise i have a brick

Storage card problem
I always used a 4 gig card, just tried an 512 mb card, and that one was recognised. Strange isn't it?

First, which method did you use to flash your new ROM?
If you used the USB method to flash your new ROM, did you remove your SD card during the flash process?
If you used the SD card method to flash your new ROM, did you do a hard reset with your SD card inserted?
Second, do you have an SD card reader for your computer? I would probably try to verify that the file system and data are intact on your SD card. If you have an SD card reader, you can also use it to reformat your card.
If none of this is helpful, provide some more information to fill in the gap between your microSD card working properly and not showing up on your phone.

Re
I flashed to TPCV5.1 full today. No sd in my phone.
My cars reader in the computer doesn't recognise the sd card either.
Strange thing is , when i use an other 4 gig sd card, the phone still doesn't recognise it, my card reader on my computer does, so why not on my phone.
I had a 2 gig sd card, and put all the data again on it, and it's working.
Stilli have a problem that my phone won't recognise a 4 gig sd card.
So far my story.

Does seem odd. What file system is your 4GB card formatted with? If it shows up as "RAW" or anything, I would definately format it to FAT32.
Edit: I was referring to your "other" 4GB card. I don't think I have any advice for the original one.

Changing SD cards?

I wanted to ask before I did it. If I transfer all my data that is on my 4gig card to my 8gig card and switched it out would it be fine? I have a lot of back up files and stuff on my 4gig, but doesn't the new card have to be formatted before you can use it? Sorry, I'm real stupid when it comes to external storage.
Thanks,
Alex

It does have to be formatted as a fat32 drive, which you can do in Windows.
I did the same thing though (transferring from one card to another) and it worked fine.

Cool, Thanks.

You're gonna be just fine transferring content from a 4GB to an 8GB SD. Just watch out for potential hidden files that might not get copied in the process. Usually they are either temporary or cache files that will get regenerated when you use the new SD for the first time.

When I put my card in the card reader my computer doesn't find it, then I put it back in my phone and it's fine. What could be the issue? Would a PNY micro sd adapter work with a sandisk micro sd card?

Well, I found out it was my card reader. It wouldn't detect anything over 2gigs. That's odd, but I got it to work at home. Thanks for all the help.

Milestone SD card problem

Hi everyone
Currently I'm experiencing an issue with my Micro SD card for my Milestone. Simply put, the phone always says that the card has been removed and unmounted.
At first i thought it was a software issue, however, when I booted to recovery and tried to run OR, it says that the card is not mounted and update.zip is not found. Therefore I'm inclined to think that this is indeed a hardware problem
tried another sd card, doesn't work. So i think the SD card slot is spoiled.
Is there anything that I can try? If motorola's phones are so unreliable that the sd card slot spoils without touching for 1 year, I will get rid of this phone. sad because Eyebee's MIUI is becoming a perfect rom to use.

Hello, I've had that problem with some class 6 cards, have you tried class 4 or class 2 cards?

"external storage" slow access with Android File Transfer

I added a 32G mSD in the ext slot. It is very slow to access and sometimes locks up Android File Transfer.
Anyone have any idea or a work around?

have you took any steps to remedy the situation?
if not please answer below
1. did you format from the phone or from your PC/Mac?
2. have you tried running diagnostics on your external card to see if its corrupted or not?
3. is SD card authentic? meaning was it purchased from reputable website or retailer?
4. have you tried with other SD cards and see if situation persists?
if SD card was received during the LG promotion, they aren't very good cards. both of my 32GB from LG (sandisk brand) failed. sandisk was nice enough to honor warranty replacement for both and works much better.

phone formated after diagnostic on Mac.
Amazon. SanDisc class 10. Brand new.
same issue with other cards in the ext slot.

please try format the card from your phone. see if that helps.
frankly, formatting from PC and phone shouldn't make any difference but won't hurt to try. my card is formatted via pc with exFAT. no issues.

it was phone formatted originally.
gave up and tried AirDroid, which had no issues.

I'm out of ideas at the moment.
I'll get back to you if I think of something.
