No, there is current no fix available. HTC is said to release a new WM6 ROM that fix this problem - but it's just hearsay, don't count on it.
The storage card 2 appears when your card is corrupted (perhaps on the system memory, or the card physically), it just got stuck in an unusable state in the system. Somehow at the same time, some program is trying to write things into it. The WM OS is so dump (convienient to programmer, however) that it treats storage cards as part of PATH for saving files. So the OS "magically" creates a new folder "storage card 2", in an attempt to give you the most pleasant experience using WM instead of an error. But users won't notice problems until it is too late, or would only notice this with even bigger confusions like you.
To be honest, I believe a simple error message would really make everyone's life easier, be it users, and the guys at HTC.
OK, if you are asking for remedies, there is one. Try the program "sd sentry". It will notify you whenever there's a corruption or disappearance of the SD card, so you could prevent damage actually being written to the disk physically by rebooting the machine in advance.
How to get this little but useful program is left as an exercise the the readers.
Twice in the last two months my 16 GB Class 6 AData microSDHC memory card has popped up as being "corrupt" and needed reformatting after powering back up from reboot on my Nexus One.
The first time happened on CM 5.0.3.1, the second time was with CM 5.0.4.1 with the UV kernel. Both times, data could not be read either through the N1, my old G1, or my friend's Droid. Thus a reformat was required and data loss ensued.
Anyone else experiencing occasional data corruption on their SD card? Another friend had it happen to his G1 with an 8 GB microSDHC memory card recently, running the latest CM for the G1, also on reboot and battery swap.
Is there a common thread here? Could it be HTC hardware-related? CM software-related? Just coincidentally two bad memory cards? Me using chinese replacement batteries when swapping out? The UV kernel? Not trying to point fingers or throw stones, just trying to get to the bottom of this...just lost some great pics of a recent vacation I just got back from. Suggestions or hints are welcome!
TIA!
this has happened to me a few times but I was still able to get my data through amon-ra recovery. I think it have something to do with an improper dismount of the card.
I'm curious, what brand of memory were your friends using?
I actually had this happen when my n1 was still stock (16gb class6 card)
I put the sd card in a card reader on my pc, everything was intact so I backed it up, reformatted and still had the n1 report it was corrupt. I ended up having to shut down, remove card, boot up w/o a sd card in, then with the sd card back in I never had the problem again
I know I did a full format the very first time, that 2nd time I had done a quick format. I've done a format recently also via amonra for ext partition and still no problems.
I happend to me few weeks ago. After turned it on ... I couldn't do anything because the screen was black and any key or type of touch was useful ... so I removed the battery and at the next start the SD wasn't readable anymore!
sry 4 my bad english!
erikikaz:
i'm running a 16 GD Class 6 AData memcard in my N1, my friend is running an 8 GB class 6 SanDisk memcard in his G1. Neither of us is running Apps2SD or anything weird.
glad to see i'm not the only one with this issue. was gonna buy a new 16 GB card but saw an article yesterday that sandisk is coming out with a 32 GB class 6 sdhc card in a month so i'll just wait for that one.
Same here
Same thing has happened three times on my Sandisk 16gb. I am running stock everything on nexus..nothing funky app wise.
After the first time it happened I replaced the sd card. It still happens. I have never been able to fix the card other than reformating. Chkdsk /f on win7 gets to 98% then throws an i/o error.
There is something majorly wrong. It seems that it happens in all android phones from time to time not just the nexus one. The consensus online seems to be that it is a mount/dismount issue that corrupts the card. I never mounted or dismounted the card at all with PC and it still happens so not sure what else it could be.
Do you think it is a phone hardware issue that would resolve with a new handset?
Has this ever happened to anybody using the standard 4GB card?
Where did you purchase your micro SD cards? There are a lot of fake/faulty cards being sold. I bought a fake one (unknowingly, obviously) and it kept getting corrupted until I tested it properly using h2testw.
I have the same problem on my nexus! I use an LG 16GB Card and CyanogenMod-5.0.5.3-N1! Any way of recovering the data without amon-ra?

+1 Make sure you dismount from computer first...otherwise this problem will pop up again...and may not be correctable next time. (There's a reason why the phone asks you to properly dismount from computer first)
no **** my n1 has the error message damaged sd card. restarted the phone a couple times and same message. what should i do? i see peoples solutions on this thread but idk where to start. i have a rooted n1 running cyan 5053 with apps2sd
I have had this problem a couple of times too, the latest being this morning
I have a stock N1 with a 16GB Sandisk card. The first time this happened, i went to use the camera and it said insert SD card, even though there was one there, I rebooted the phone and then got the Damaged SD card message.
This morning I was on the train, had been using the phone to read the news earlier with no problems, I got it out of my pocket and screen was black. and the phone completely unresponsive. Removed and replaced battery, booted up and got the Damaged sd card message again.
Both times I have been able to recover most of my files by putting the card in a PC, the first time I found that a couple of my photos were corrupted and unrecoverable, indicating that possibly it was the camera app that may have caused the issue the first time.
This time though, I found that some of my music tracks were corrupted along with one of my videos, and also a directory on the SD called LOST.DIR. Everything else was fine.
Not sure why only these files were affected, as I was not listening to music or watching any videos, so I dont see why the nexus one should have been accessing those parts of the card when it corrupted.
I could not delete the corrupted files, even on my PC, accessing them causes the PC to lock up. The only way to get card working again seems to be a format.
If only the format would work!

Just happened to me as well. Genuine 8gb Sandisk, class 4.
After a reboot Nexus reports corrupted card. It really seems corrupted, I'm unable to read it in a PC or anything else:
[ 1042.673542] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE
[ 1042.673551] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : Medium Error [current]
[ 1042.673561] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error
[ 1042.673571] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 10248
I'm using CM 5.0.4.1 with UV kernel.
It's happened to me, even using the "safely remove hardware" function on the pc. i started just using the unmount on the phone which seemed less problematic.
Yep...add me to the list. Running stock N1 was playing music when it ocurred it started skipping through the tracks fast right before it stopped. It has affected/removed all my pics and left the music.
I'm with you all:
2 times on my Motorola Milestone, using a 16GB class 4 "unbranded" card
3 times on my Nexus, using that same 16GB class 4 card.
2 times on my Nexus, with a 16GB class 6 SanDisk card.
Most times, the data has been available by mounting the card into a PC or Mac directly, though my Mac has seen the card as "read-only" in these cases.
I seem to have this problem after mounting the card onto my work PC, though I don't often do that. I mostly use ADB to copy files. Maybe it is linked to leaving the debugging interface up all the time? I do that and I'm sure that most of you do as well...
Me too
I am using FRF91 MRCr21 and I am on a 800mv 070810 .35 rc4 kernel. Newest 5.00.08.04 radio.
Twice now after using quickboot my phone has reported my SD card damaged and it says I will have to reformat. It is a 8gb class 2 sandisk, real. One time I used quickboot to enter recovery mode and the other was only to reboot the phone. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the best fix? Both times I rebooted my phone was stable. I wasn't downloading or installing anything. Thanks!
My phone can't read the card. If I pull the card and put it directly in my computer it won't read either. Both OS can't read the file system and want me to reformat.
Neither happened due to not dismounting. Anyone correlate the problem with quickboot?
have had zero luck with adata 16GB classs 6 cards. i have gone through 2 of them however their 8 GB card has been awesome
Just had this with a Sandisk 16GB Class 2 card. Inserted into card reader, copied something, popped it back into the phone, corrupt card message. Even the computer says I have to format it.
So, I purchased 8GB SanDisc micro SD card 4-5 months ago and it started to acting weird. When browsing pictures, some pictures have glitches meaning half picture is bluish and half greenish, sometimes redish.
Disconnecting and connecting SD card solves the problem but after several days problem continues. Few days ago I received message that my SD card is broken and it needs to be formatted. I formatted it and it worked 2-3 days and then again started to act weird.
Is my SD card broken or maybe it is phone? Someone else with such experience?
Thanks.
Same story here. This has happened with 2 out of 3 cards i have owned.

Really strange. It is important to detect are there really broken SD cards or our phones make bad SD card under some conditions/roots/ROMs. Hmmm....
First: when you will have such message, remove it and try to access it on PC. If it will work on PC - then it is the phone problem.
If not... well, where have you purchased it? SanDisc cards are covered by Lifetime Warranty, and thing what you have to do is to make claim.
Of course, if you have bought it for bargain price on eBay from China, then...
Thanks. I bought it in Mediamarkt, regular store for IT accessories. I will make a claim if this problem repeat.
I had the same problem with 16GB sandisk card so replaced it (JB hifi - reliable Aus store who replaced it for free). Same prob with new card though. both cards reformatted many times but still no joy.
photos taken with phone cam and saved to int SD no problem, but every so often if saved to ext SD the glitch occurs. Photos taken with a digicam then transferred to SD same prob - randomly in gallery won't show some photos properly.
Also discovered that videos made on pc (like clips from films my son likes) but put on ext SD often don't play well or stop before end of clip - no problem if saved to int SD.
I figured it was a bug with the SGS in dealing with files on ext SD - super annoying but have basically accepted it as can't find anyway to fix it!
FYI Recuva is a great program to retrieve lost files

forgot to mention that on my phone, it only seems that photos or videos are affected by this glitch.
I have mp3 files, homemade ringtones and word docs on the ext SD and so far (touch wood) haven't had any problems with using them or viewing them etc.
DoctorV, exact my story. I am assuming that problem is in SGS, although I tried Sandisc 4GB card and 3 days without problems. As soon as I put back Sandisc 8GB, problems started. Very strange and annoying.

Interesting - wonder if it has anything to do with the size of the SD card then? From memory my 2nd 16GB card had no problem for 3 or 4 days too before the issue happened again. Let us know if your 4GB continues to do ok - I may try a smaller card if yours seems to work ok.
thanks
I had 8G SanDisk - no problem for 3 mths, when I replaced it with Sandisk 16G. both were class 6. the second one - 4mths in sgs now - no problem at all.
@doktorV you, in australia, are too close to China, you know
Additional question: which gallery viewer are you using? Both, you that have problems with SD card and you that never had problems with SD card?
I noticed that in QuickPic I picked picture, picture is opened with errors (strange colors or even 3/4 picture is missing) and when I open same picture in stock gallery viewer few minutes later, everything is fine. After opening same picture in QuickPic, it is OK.
After 1-2 hours problem repeats. It is really seems like SW problem and not problem with SD card. Don't know...
I dont know if there is still some activity here..
My sd-card (lexar 8gb SDhc ) is recognized by pc and phone.. after insert it scans.. scan is ok. then a few second - minutes is says sd card is broken and needs to be formatted after format it goes to scan scan ok ... and again broken repeat....
is this a problem with my sd card ? does it matter if its an regular SD or an SDhc ?
and when I format in on pc in wich sort should it be ? stock of ext3 ? or anything like that ?
since im on custom rom now I can format it in my phone ( darknight 4.0.4, when I click format sd card it formats the wrong sd card so I cant use this option )
but its not in the custom rom, had the phone on stock 2.3.6 and the same problem was there. ( also on stock 2.3.3 same problem )
Can I conclude this actually is a '' broken card '' or can I change the settings and make it work ?
thanks in front....
Greetings!
I purchased a new SD card from SanDisk with 400GB.(didn't use my old one on this phone because of low storage size)
My problem is that i'm unable to copy/move/delete files to my SD card.
I can't even create a new folder.
I tried several explorers and activated the permissions for writing but no success.
I was also trying another SD card but the same problem.
If I format the card over my phone as internal storage the phone freezes, formatting as external storage is working though.
I also formatted the card on my PC but still the same issue.
Remounting the card in the settings sometimes works for a few seconds.(creating a folder,etc..)
My razer phone 2 has the newest FW with Android 9.

Heya buddy,
Just a quick enquiry, from where did you purchase your MICROSD? it sounds like you may have a fake card, the memory size is worrying indication, normally cards are sold in denominations of 32, 64, 128, 512,GB not 400 GB. Have you run a check to see if it's reporting the correct capacity size on a SD card checker. Sounds like it's a fake and when it tries to format, it goes into a loop state and crashes as the card is formatted over and over and over trying to reach the stated size but never reaches it due to it not being 400gb in size.
Sorry to spread the bad news, have had the same happen to me, I am so dam careful over which company I buy my cards from.
Let me know if I can help.
Yours

Phone says it has 393GB.
I bought it on amazon. Its a SanDisk Ultra 400GB that also appears on the official homepage. I'm pretty sure its not a fake.

Ok, that clears up the possibility of it being fake good good..
..hmmmmm. Do you have any old phones at your disposal that have a card slot? If so,. Try it in those and see if you can access it and read/write/modify files on it. Maybe format it with another device and then stick it in the razer and see if it works.
I'm sure now that cards a real deal as Amazon don't seem to allow frauds to be sold the only other thing I can think of is that it's a faulty card, it happens, they are just mass produced. Maybe a replacement if it's dudd.
I am having an SD card issue as well. I have had my Razer Phone 2 since last Monday brand new from Ebay. I purchased a Samsung 128GB class 10 (u3) SD card for it from Amazon. If I format the SD card as "internal", it shows that there is 131GB's of system files on my SD card. It shows I'm using 131GB's of storage from a total of 320GB's. The Razer Phone 2 has 64GB;s plus my 128GB SD card which would be 192GB;s total. I have tried many file manager apps, move to SD apps, etc and I cannot transfer any files. When I format the 128GB SD card as "portable", it shows the correct amount of storage space in both the phone and the card but once again I cannot transfer any files to the card. I have tried a 16GB SD card as well. The phone did recognize it and read the available storage on the phone and the card correctly. I did not format that card as I have music, photos and documents on it. I did try to transfer an app from my phone to the 16GB card and once again I could not do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance and take care.
I have had similar problems with my Razer2. It ruined a 512g scandisk brand microsd card. Copying, or moving files, is a real problem for this device! It hangs up sometimes and ruins the files. Never had these issues, this bad, with any other phone
I have a bunch of music on my SD card, my music app sees some of them. If I move the whole folder to my phone storage, music app sees all. If I boot to twrp (per arters kernel) and try to backup to external SD card, it fails. If I save it to the phone, works fine. It's like it doesn't constantly see the SD card slot properly.
Exfat is needed with art kernel. Stock formats as vfat a old file system. I have a 400gb exfat formatted and works perfectly
I'll have to look into getting that kernal
256gb samsung Sd card mine works fine razer phone 2
Just received my RP2 yesterday and I'm really confused on how SD cards are used. I currently have it formatted as portable.
Here's the problems I'm seeing:
- Camera doesn't have an option to save to SD card.
- The Google photos app doesn't see any pictures/videos on my SD card.
- plugging into my Windows 10 computer, I only see internal storage.
I've tried formatting as internal, didn't seem to resolve any of the issues above. Not sure I like the idea as internal. When does it decide to use the SD card? It even warned that apps may be slower when formatting as internal.
So far I'm only able to use my SD card for Netflix downloads and Google Play Music downloads.
Never had this problem with any previous phones (Xperia XZ1, Nokia 7.1, LG G6)
I've noticed this on my razer phone aswell tried to use a 128gb card and it just absolutely tanked my loading speeds to the point phone wouldn't boot with said sd card in mounted as internal storage. Took said card out phone works fine. It was a class 10 speed too guess they need to be alot faster in read/writes to work properly
It appears the photos app couldn't see my SD card due to a common bug. I had to clear data and cache from system apps "Media Storage" and "Settings Storage". After clearing, photos app now sees my SD card and I can also see it when plugged into a computer.
