SOLUTIONS I TRIED:
1,SOFT FORMATD
2,HARD FORMATED
3,ROM UPGRADE (rom downloaded from this site)
so any solution u people got ............................
Did you try to read the SD card in another place (ie PC) ?
Maybe you must format the card using any of the apps to format or data-recover. This happens sometimes with the cards, so that you must backup them in your computer and reformat them, or the phone will crash.
(That's what is happening me now... and I missed soem data)
no this dose not work

[Q] My external memory card's been erasing itself

Hi, I got my Galaxy S a 16GB memory card 2 weeks ago then I started to move my apps into the memory card. It was okay until one day when i restarted my galaxy S and suddenly it says "damaged SD card" and asked me to format it. However after a while the "damaged SD card" warning was not there again and i thought that my memory card recovered itself. but when i flipped through my external sd files it's empty.
After that I just reinstalled all my apps and tried to place them back into the memory card again. It was working fine for a few days. however i just realized today the content inside the memory card went missing again. No 'damaged SD card" warning at all..Just disappear.
HELP!! was it the memory card problem or problem on my SGS?
It was a Sandisk external memory card.

you probably bought a fake one or something off ebay.
I did not buy it at ebay. It's from a computer shop and on the box it says 5 yrs warranty.
how do i differentiate between a fake and real ones? tried searching for it but only told me about normal SDHC memory cards.
It may be defect on your micro sd card so if you have other phone let's try it.
i tried on an SE phone before when the first time it said it was damaged. when the photn read the memory card it was empty. after tht i tried placing it back to my sgs and the memory inside was lost but it can still be detected.
now the memory card cannot be detected by my sgs!
i tried on an SE phone before when the first time it said it was damaged
Thats your answer DAMAGED .

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.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
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(?)

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.

Same here mate. Perhaps we shouls start a club.
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

[Q] 8GB card is not working on my x8

Hello everyone.
Well my question is regarding my sd card, i have a 8gb sd card in for my xperia x8, it was working fine untill yesterday when i tried to listen to music and the whole phone froze. from that moment on the phone is not reading the sd card, i even installed froyobread (nice rom btw) but still the sd is not reconigzed in the phone.
The sd works fine in my pc, i can open it and everything but i cant format it (says that windows could not perfomr the format), i tried a 2gb and a 4gb sd in my phone and they work just fine.
What do you think? is a sd problem even tought i can read it in my pc and my camera? do you know any program to repair/format the sd and check if it works again in my phone? could it be some kind of problem with my phone that dont allow it to read 8gb+ sd cards?
Thx in advance
oh and the micro sd has no "lock" thingy xD
