Hi guys,
My phone used to crash an awful lot and I would get the 'Storage Card Not Working' error, this was made so much worse when I upgraded to Mango, where in some cases it would just go into an endless reboot loop until I took the battery out. Again, it often gave the storage card not working error. I upgraded the memory from 16gb to 32gb hoping it might fix this problem...it hasn't. I got the phone running fine but again had a couple of errors and endless reboots when I upgraded to Mango.
Any ideas what the problem could be?

ok so about 2 weeks ago my g1 said that my sd card kept getting removed unexpectedly, now it wont even read it, it just says checking for errors, now today my phone says i get no service, its like its not even seeing my sim card, i tried taking it out and putting it back in, but still nothing. im on jf 1.5. any help would be appreciated
i just flashed to cyanogen stable mod a couple days ago and tried apps2sd for the first time, it worked fine for a couple days, and today for no reason the phone resets itself or just turns off. btw im using the stock 1gig stick
bump/update, it keeps resetting randomly and once and a while ill see, unexpected removal of sd card, could my sd card be bad? iv seen this error before and it makes sense that now with apps2sd it keeps resetting
I had an issue like this... it was more so what seemed like random freezes, though. I actually used to have the same issue with the microSD card I used with my nintendo DS rom cart, too. lol. Sometimes it would boot saying no cartridge was found, or the cart would boot saying no SD card was found. I've found that clicking the SD card in and out a couple times usually fixes it. If that don't work, looks like the SD card you have is going bad. Sounds like a good time for an upgrade.
I was just thinking as well... I don't know if you've used apps2sd before, but I would suggest, if you don't mind reinstalling apps and losing any of your settings, doing a wipe/factory reset in recovery mode, followed by dropping to the console and "rm -r *" your /system/sd. If you're having issues after that, it's gotta be the SD card.
Hi guys,
So I've gone on the HTC website again and looked at the specs of my HTC HD7 (as I have done many times before, e.g. when I was finding out the official "spec" for GPS on the phone - related).
Anyway, it seems that HTC have recently made a change to the specs page, they have split the internal storage size spec - 8GB for Europe handsets, and 16GB for Asia. I am 99% certain this was not the case a few months ago, it used to just say 16GB.
I happen to have 2 HTC HD7s (one bought from O2, one purchased offline, both acquired within a few weeks of each other - around Feb/March time this year):
Both boxes have the same P/N as each other, and also same model barcodes (6HTGD7XN)
Both boxes have identical specifications printed on them, also identical packaging and contents
Only discernable difference between them is that the O2 handset has a silver kickstand bed and the other handset's kickstand bed is orange.
Frustratingly, my O2 phone started its dying process after the Mango update. It never misbehaved before. Slowly and intermittantly at first, I would get random reboots, giving me "Memory card not working" error screens, setting itself as incorrect time, and even wiped itself a few times (meaning I had to reconfigure everything from scratch). I searched all over the net, checked and tried all sorts of remedies suggested on forums, e.g. doing a full factory reset, uninstalling all the HTC apps, disabling location services, disabling 3G/data connections, etc. Also I hadn't played any music with it since the Mango update either, so it wasn't the music player for which some people reported problems.
Sometimes the phone could go 12-18 hours without so much as a hiccup, and other times it would crash and reboot within a minute of starting. My SIM card has a PIN on it, so I always knew if my phone had rebooted itself. On average I'd say it happened a 2-3 times a day, though some days it would happen 10+ times.
Keeping my data connection turned off and only using Wifi seemed to keep the crashes at bay for several days, at least until today. I'm a fairly tolerant guy, but today was the last straw.
I was playing a new game I downloaded (Jewel³) when travelling to work, when suddenly it crashed and rebooted just like it did so many times before. I rolled my eyes and waited so I could carry on with it until the next crash, except instead of the usual process of booting up and acting normal, it kept crashing and factory resetting itself, asking me to configure the phone for the first time after every single crash/boot. That was it, now it was well and truly buggered. I took it to the O2 shop and they have now taken it in for repair. I assumed the memory card somehow developed a hardware fault, though the timing of when these issues started happening seemed too coincidental with the Mango update.
This is where my spare HD7 comes in handy. I've barely touched it since taking it out of the box brand new about 8 months ago (was meaning to sell it but never got round to it). I threw in my SIM card and began the update process using Zune. All updates successful etc but then afterwards I suddenly noticed the bottom of the Zune window. I went into the phone "about" screen, yep, 8GB total capacity, even though the box says 16GB.
So what I'm thinking is this: does the Zune Mango update patch actually recognise I am in Europe and try to flash the phone into only utilising 8GB? Even if the memory card has a physical capacity limit of 16GB?
If that's what happened to my first phone, that certainly explains the random rebooting behavior and memory errors, as I probably had parts of my data occupying the space which the Mango patch told the phone to ignore.
Just a hypothesis, anyone here got a 16GB HD7 in Europe which had a lot of data on it pre-mango, and had any similar problems afterwards?
It would also be interesting to know if you fall under this category and haven't had ANY issues since mango. I would like to try getting to the bottom of this, as my searches on the net seem quite fruitless (this was the best thread I could find, though I couldn't reply as I'm not a WP7 developer)
Mango is more sensitive to SD card timing issues... Check out the how to upgrade your phone to 32G in the general section... I benchmarked the factory 16GB card, a 32GB card that wouldn't work (constant reboots) and a 4 year old 8GB card... all Sandisk Class 4.
the 8 and 32 are undeniably not going to work, the FACTORY card is marginal, and I have been getting occasional reboots since upgrading to Mango. If I downgrade to NoDo, the reboots cease.
Ah ha, very interesting, and that certainly explains a lot. I wonder if my "repaired" phone will still suffer the occasional crash like your 16GB did. Would be nice to see which make of memory card they use (assuming they will replace it), though I don't want to void my warranty doing it!
Hi everyone,
I upgraded my phone to 6.0 this morning, and have been facing issues ever since. The phone keeps freezing or rebooting at will. When I first tried to format my SD card (a class 10 Strontium Nitro 32GB purchased 2 months back) as internal storage for the first time, it got stuck for a long time and I had to do a factory reset and format again. After that, I moved all possible apps to the SD card, but every time I try to access a few of these apps (official Twitter, Truedialer, AdSense, etc) the entire phone will freeze for about a minute and then reboot for a very long time (over 5 minutes). I am terrified of opening any app on the SD card right now because it might trigger the reboot again.
Is anyone else facing similar issues on their Android Ones?
The battery life has also seemingly degraded, and once the phone completely shut down because the battery suddenly went from 40% to 0%.
After last year's Lollipop debacle and now this, I am really disappointed with Google's quality assurance. Marshmallow was supposed to be all about stability.

My experience is pretty opposite to yours, my canvas is working flawlessly, and battery life has significantly increased. There is no sd card problem for me and app permissions and doze mood is best of the picks...try to reset your device

Install android m stock rom again and after install format your memory card for internal storage using wait when memory card is formatted don't shutdown your mobile try this it will work
I am also facing random freezes with Spice Dream Uno on MM.
So I factory reset again this morning, formatted the SD card as internal storage one more time, and installed a few apps to the SD card. Things look much better than yesterday, so I am slowly adding apps and checking if any of them misbehaves.
I can't believe there isn't an option to auto-install apps to the SD card for sprout4 models.
Thanks for your replies. :good:
There are a lot Fc's on sprout 8 on root too I guess it has to do something with costom kernel apparently stock rom works perfectly
same problem Here in Spice Dream uno
I am also facing random freezes with Spice Dream Uno on MM
Freezes are back
They are back. At this point, I don't know what else to do except swap my SD card and see if the new one fixes the issues.
I can confirm this on Sparkle V too.
Making ext_SD to be used as internal even on Class 10 makes rebooting to take a hell of time.
I can confirm this with my canvas A1 running stock Marshmallow and Nitro Class 10 memory card.
It works flawlessly as external storage. But often freezes when used as internal.
I experience this on low battery usually.
Use sd card as external no problem but crashes the other way around same here
Really strange issue which started shortly after the phone got updated it suddenly didn't recognised my MicroSD card. Did all the usual trying the card in another device to make sure it was working then tried a different MicroSD card in the S10 and it didn't detect it either. Restarted the phone and it didn't read the card still. As I'm just about to call to get a replacement the phone suddenly detects the card and it was normal again so I just shrugged and carried on as you do.
Fast forward to today as I'm coming home and listening to some music on the underground the phone decided to throw it's toys out the pram again. It just won't read the MicroSD card. Got on the blower to get a replacement sent. All arranged after a bit of back and forth about trying all sorts including "formatting the card" despite the phone not detecting any card. :laugh: Anyway I hang up & the little son of a gun starts working literally seconds after. Too late Holmes, you're getting picked up in the morning.
