Ok so i bought this verbatim microSD 16gb class4...at first it worked fine on my xperia x8...but today it just decided to not be located at all...
On my pc the card is working properly with the card reader and i tried another sd on my x8, and it worked too..but the 16gb still wont be located...i tried everything from formating it to reboot etc...i tried the 16gb one on a x10mini but no luck either...
any recommendations?
oh and the shop said that they cant do anything cause this maybe my fault
Please help...
I had the same problem with 8gb class 4.
I did like what you did.
Finally it didn't work, I returnd it back to the store.
What I understood is: class 4 sd cards are not working on our x8.
because I asked the guys here and they were answering that they have a working sd cards on x8 but with classes like 2,8,10 not 4!
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
1Fawwaz thnx for your reply
but i could use it for about 2-3 days...and the same happened with an 8gb card but i dont remember of what class..
any ideas anyone?
[UPDATE]
After many experiments i found out that my card was working with thsd card adapter that SE provided once...the one that is like a usb stick...but with a MicroSD to SD adapter,my card wont be located by my pc...
[UPDATE 2]
The card is working fine on my sony ericsson yari.
also i read through the forum that others are using class 4 and its fine..so i cant see why mine wont work...come on guys..you have fixed far more complicated issues...

If the adapter you refer to is really a mSD to SD adapter then your PC would do the right thing(TM). To read a mSD you need a MicroSD to SDHC (<--!!!!) adapter.
SD, SDHC and SDXC are three totally different standards not really compatible to each other.

Then there you have your confirmation that the card is actually working.
If the X8 and X10 is refusing the card, then you may have hit a incompatibility (EDIT: that's why it is important to either straighten it out with the dealership that you can return the card in case it doesn't work or that you can try the card right there in front of the eyes of the shop dude). The only way would be to swap the card with one of another brand (like Kingston or SanDisk ... I wouldn't buy Verbatim crap).
In theory the X8 should be able to accept mSD's up to 32GB.

True, I used a 8GB Kingston Class 4 mSD with my X8 - worked flawlessly.
thnx for your reply..
my card was working in the begining..so im not sure if this is really an incompatibility...

Question is ...
- If you're running a custom ROM ... you tried another one?
- If you're running Stock ... you tried a custom ROM?
Also ... try putting the card into a _working_ mSD adapter and ERASE the partition that's on it. Then "Safely remove" the card reader / card from your PC and put the EMPTY (unpartitioned) card back into the phone. From there you have two options you can try ...
1. Try to partition and format (FAT32) the card in ClockworkMod recovery and see if it works now.
2. Boot up Android and format the card through Android (I think it's "Memory and Storage" in "Settings")
I tried with both stock and GingerDX...same result...im going to try this and post reply in some minutes..
nothing....i tried to partition with CWM..no luck....
I partitioned it with Partition Wizard..no luck again...
pfff...why it just denies to locate it?i was working just fine :S
I take CWM actually recognized the card even at its correct size.
The last thing you can do now is to look through logcat to see if the log holds any hints about why the card isn't recognized/mounted.
You better do that through adb as it's a medium pain in the rear to do that in the Terminal Emulator on the phone.
If you find something that could be related to the issue at hand post it here; maybe the error message carries something that would give a clue.

can anyone help? ive just brought a 2gb sd card and my o2 xda iis wont read it? is there a patch or software to help?
2gb cards are general ones any pda can read them if u r getting any problem try some other cards on ur pda, if they works repalce the 2gb asap.
tried a 128mb card and it wont read that either...
Make sure the card isn't a SHDC-type of card (most likely not, but one never knows).
Does the phone even see the card, or does it just have problems reading it?
Tried reformatting it in the phone? A known issue is many programs on a stand alone computer will try to format SD cards as drives (floppy or otherwise), which is the wrong formatting for flash devices.
no its not a shdc card.. ive no idea how to format the card in my phone ( a o2xdaiis), it shows the slot in use but no storage card

Well, you can format it from your computer using a card reader and the flash formatter software from panasonic, or you can get an evaluation version of various different programs for the PPC platform that will do it as well.
Google for it, there are a lot of different ones and I've only ever used the panasonic software and a usb card reader.

If the cards are readable with the computer and/or other devices but not in the phone, I would suspect a hardware or potentially software problem with the phone.
Has the phone been able to read any cards at all, or is this the first one you have tried?
Have you tried backup up your data and hard resetting the phone?
tried a 128mb card and the 2 gb.. it reads the slot in use but no memory card ..think the problem may well be the phone... it had mobile 2003 on when i brought it have now upgraded to mobile 6 and still donrt work

So you made NO CHANGE (V2 to V2) and now can't FORMAT your card?
Formatting is not something that you do in the phone is it?
Are you sure that it is seated correctly - take it out and put it back in?
Can you write to the card with a computer?
Bill
soory, to v4 i meant. Yes, Can write to the card with my PC. I pulled it out many times, flashed also.
The icon of Storage Card has something like sim card on the half of it? Why it is so.
It is no big issue that can't format it, but to save time when need deleting all files it is inportant.
Any other suggestions ?
why are you formatting the card in the phone? why not format it via PC ?

Totally lost here...
You imply in your message that you had version 2 of this ROM and that the card was in the phone and worked flawlessly - no issues.
You imply that by simply upgrading that you cannot FORMAT the card now. Can you read from the card and write to the card in this new ROM? or is this card magically DEAD now that you have upgraded?
I am assuming that you REMOVED the card when upgrading and possibly that you took a static charge hit on the card while it was out of the phone?
Or that you did NOT remove the card - please note that recently (last couple of days) I remember seeing that someone ELSE messed up their card by leaving it in the phone while flashing a ROM update.
Bill
Upgrade my v2 to v4. Pull out my sdhc card and sim card. And then when tried to format my card using Resco Explorer, I get this message

No idea - here are my current guesses:
1. somehow your card got write protected?
2. somehow the upgrade corrupted your card?
3. the new ROM cannot read cards of that size?
4. something else that I have no idea about.
Personally - without trying to read this card on a PC I would not continue to mess with it. You will FOR CERTAIN corrupt it if you keep trying.

I got a card reader that supports micro SDHC !
So, in the main directory i have a file named EncFiltLog.menc - and this is why i can't format from card reader or ppc. I even can't delete it, what I am gonna do ?
As I understood from this forum and google this file can't be removed after hard reset, right ?
i have this exact same problem too.

Same exact card, same exact problem.
Did you ever figure it out?
Im facing same issue, I think that root cause is within XIP.
i too have the same issue. i opened tom tom one day and tom tom closed on me and the micro sd had lost everything off it. now the card cannot be used.
did anyone find a way to format the card to use it again?
I think you can only format the card on the PC and not on the phone itself, if im correct ive seen a forum post here on xda-dev... (by searching: menc) give it a go and good luck!
when i was using my xperia with the cm 6.1 barebone that is released by neopeek,i see in the gallery that it stated thet the sd csrd is not mounted so i tried manualy using setting to unmount the sdcard.but when i tried to mount it again it failed.so,i switched to winmo and i can't read my sdcard.i tried to connect it to my computer,it won't recognized.it said in properties that it is in RAW format.How can i repair it?i tried few formatter like sdcard formater by panasonic but it said card not suported.
btw my sdcard was san disk 4 gb sdhc.
any help would be appriciated.

sounds like you broke the sd card. as android runs from the sd card it could have been corrupted when u pulled it out.
Ps. If u did not spoil your sd card, sd card not found problem could actually be fixed by hp format tool. Probably android does not read the format of the sd card at first....
thank you all.i will try it.and if it don't work,then i should buy new one.
i recently tried the cyanogenmod 7 .59 on my galaxy s,all right except that it gave me so many problems with my sandisk 32gb sd card:sd card not included,sd card damaged format may be the case,it delete files at random.
i tried to format it both pc from phone,i tried to copy files with the sd card reader from pc,i tried with the usb cable,but does not want to read it in an optimal manner,instead it read perfectly the 16 gb sd card (always sandisk),i pray help me the i love cyanogenmod!!!(sorry for my bad english)

Hi, Is it a genuine sandisk card? Check it with the H2testw1.4 program.
It could be your problem.

but the other 16 gb sd quietly law,however i'm testing it with the h2
finished,i said it found no errors,?how can i do?
I've bought a fake 32GB card before. It came in real looking packaging, hologram etc. It was impossible to tell that it was a fake until I tested it.
Could you cut and paste the output from H2testw1.4, just to make sure it isn't that?

Is your sd card kingston? I have the same problem, and found out that there is a compatibility problem with kingston 8gb.
SE claims to have solved it with an update but this is for stock rom users. So not me. I don't know if anything can be done and if any of our fantastic (slurp slurp) developers could help.

mine is apacer 8GB ...it's so dam annoying i flash back to stock but still have problem i flashed like 6 times now and it's finally ok...can read sd card so far...but still going to the retailer and asking for a refund if the problem occurs

Not able to confirm again ...
There's a 8GB Kingston Class 4 in my X8 which is working perfectly fine since the last 7 months (GDX v021 on Stock Kernel).
However, as there's been another one posting about SD card problems who also has a Class 10 mSD ... I would rather say the phone seems to have a problem with Class 10 Micro SD cards ... given my Class 4 and some Class 6 (if you search the X8 section) work flawlessly.

so i tried 2 more sd card a 2gb class 6 and a 8gb class 10(?)
Click to expand...

The 2GB Class 6 _should_ work, given we have some posts around where people use a Class 6 mSD successfully.
But, as I said above, I would be cautious with Class 10 mSD's as there not only yours which gives trouble.
for some reason my phone is a magnet for trouble ...
I spoke to the guy that sold me the card and he told me to go by the store and try with either a kingston 8gb class 4 or an apacer 16gb class10 (that's what he has in store). I guess i'll try the kingston but i'll be away for a week so I'll have answers next week.

haha yea...we are really poor souls =(
damn it i tried my sister's sd card ( just to confirm my problem ) i connect it to pc and all is fine ...then i click turn off usb storage and it says blank sd card ...i guess i cant confirm it's the hardware problem
Just as a related note now that I checked back...
The other guy who had about the same SD card problems was using a Verbatim 16GB Class 4. Seems as the X8/W8 is somewhat picky when it comes to the brand (manufacturer) of a SD card and the related class.
As I wrote in that post - either try the card in your phone right there in the shop (if the clerk agrees to it) or strike a deal that you can return the card in case you have severe troubles due to compatibility issues.
as always thanks BJ! you helped me so many times! so yeah i called my dad to send it to the repairman but i doubt it's the sd card problem since the other 2 i tried also failed to read ...it could initially until i restart the phone or connect it to usb then it will get the warning..i suspect its the hardware problem
