Htc Camera And SDHC Issues

hi there i was wondering if anyone has had issues with the htc camera and an 8 gb card. i put my brand new 8 gig micro sdhc card into my tytn 2 and it showed 21.24.16 when using the video with cif resolution then i put some mp3s on the card and had 4.16 gig left and it showed i had 01.16.05 left now ive checked further and when i put some other files on the card so theoretically should have showed no time left but it came up with 18.34.17 so what im thinking is my camera is reading my card in 4 gb sections
any others had this issue is there a fix.

i do not have the 8 GB card. i have only 2 GB card with 1256 MB free and the camera is giving me 07:18:27 for video.

I noticed the same issue a few months ago. Mine was reading in 2GB sections. Since it could record over 24 hours at a time however, I didn't really care, as I don't often record a full day. XD

You could have a Cheap Knock off Card. Watch for data corruption then you'd be certain.
I have an 8GB card, bought from a trusted reseller. And my Kaiser reads it as one big 8GB section.

its deff not a knock off as it fully sandisk registered. there has been no data corruption is there a chance the cam software could need updating.

I'm running a 4Gb Micro SDHC with free space of 2278.31Mb. Below are the video time left from the 4 resolution settings.
CIF: 13:15:13
S:36:45:11
M:36:45:11
L:13:15:13
Think the camera software needs an update.

My new 8Gb SDHC Class 6 hangs the HD2

I bought a Team 8Gb SDHC class 6 and the HTC freeze and work very very slowly. No obstanding, with the card readers works fine.
In memory mode (HD2) works more less (3Mb write and 6.2Mb read), but the phone works too slow. I power off the phone and change the card to the original Sandisk 2Gb and works nice.
IS there any way to fix it?

I'm assuming you tried formatting it in your PC? Maybe try using a different block size. Others have had success with this technique for various card issues. It's worth a shot.

I didn't format with the PC, I formatted with the SD format tool in HD2. I'll try from the PC.

this happened because you probably have a large music library on the sd card. the htc sense music tb hangs in large libraries

No, I have no music on it. I have some pictures (no too much), a few videos, igo 8, tomtom 7, 2 ebooks and 1 pdf.
I just copy the content from my original SD Sandisk 2Gb (included with the HD2) to the new one (8Gb). With the 2Gb works pretty fast and with the 8Gb is very very slow or sometimes it hangs.

that's the only thing i hate about my hd2. i use a 16gb card and when i hit the music tab, id have to wait 25 seconds before anything comes up. i do have a large music library with about 2500 songs. is there ANY way to keep this from occuring?

I just returned a defective sandisk 8gb SD card.. sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't.. if i worked it was veeery slow..

@oscar8x
I am having the same problem with my Team 16 gb sdhc class 6 card as well. Now I saw that you had the same problem, I am a little concerned. I formatted it using my PC but apparently that does not make much difference.
Also, I found the card rather slow not as fast as it is claimed to be. What do you think?
I would be really happy if there is solution to make it work. I can't get past entering the PIN phase.

I think it's a fake class 6 card, but I gonna try it on another phone (N97 mini) and I'll see how it works. I'll post que results

Try formatting it in FAT 32 but block size should be 4096 - use windows 7 to format card

Delete "Application Data" folder on the sd and let the device rebuild a brand new one.
I had a similar problem with a kingston 16gb, solved in this way

Yes, that was the problem. I formatted the card and I copied all folder excluding "Application Data" and it's working right now.
Thanks for your answers.

[Q] Seems like external SD card is broken?

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....

Have you tried formatting the SD card (FAT32)? I too have a 32GB class 10 with 27+GB of music, but I have no problem with the files.

I got same SD as you, but without the problems. Maybe the mounting doesn't work probably on either PC or phone, or you unmounted the SDcard wrong from the PC.

Ive noticed this, deleting files on random times..

i have a 64GB class 10 in mine ,and everything is good

Put the SDcard in your phone and select in settings > Storage > Wipe External SD.
Connect it to your computer again. Put music on it and try again. If it still deletes you need to run a HD check on your SD. Could be that the I/O is defective.
Also; put questions next time in the correct place

Not had the same issue but something very similar.
I had 2 sdcards both by sandisk one a class 10 32gig the other a 32 gig class 4.
When using folder mount app to mount games obb files after maybe 2-3wks they both started to play up not being recognised by phone but working on computer.
Got a TDK 16g class 4 BUT not using folder mount... the card is running happy with it and used for movies and music.
It seems maybe that folder mount in my case was causing the probs with the script it ran and led it to causing the cards to fail.
If you have used folder mount would suggest to stop and get another card.
I don't have any suggestions in how to solve your problem but only another option based on my findings.

[Q] sandisk ultra microsdhc uhs-I (32GB) heats up my d410 ! Solution???

I had recently opened a thread here asking the possible cause for the heating up of my phone. After getting it diagnosed at the local service center, I discovered that my 32 GB Sandisk class 10 microsd card is the culprit that is causing the heat-up. Unseating my microsd card from my phone does the following things/improvements:
1. Phone doesn't heatup (isn't prominent with back cover) while playing hd videos & while browsing data
2. Battery lasts longer
After I insert the microsd card, I would notice that my phone would normally heat up below the rear camera & below the ear-piece, as it would previously. I have witnessed my phone getting hot upto 47 °C (under mild to moderate usage) ! That's unbearable.
Possible causes
1. Is the SD card defective ? Please note that... I have noticed this exact issue on two different 32 GB Sandisk Class-10 cards which I own. The local service center told me that your sd card might have short-circuited & would be causing the heat-up. They couldn't test it since I hadn't take it there.
2. Is the android indexing service running constantly & triggering the heat up?
Some Additional Info:
1. Most of the data in my sd card are multimedia files/ android apks
2. while taking out the concerned card from it's original adapter/reader(inserted in my pc) , after copying,say 6-7GB of data, I had also witnessed it getting really warm. Is this normal ?
3. A similar concern here can also give you a better idea
Can anybody please confirm & tell if this is a known issue with large capacity sandisk high capacity cards (16GB>) so that I can switch to a sd card of a different make that most of you use & recommend or should i purchased a lower capacity sdcard?
Any other workaround that will likely work (formatting the card on the phone instead of PC/ using custom rom)

Some more info please.
1. What if SD card is freshly formated. (not quick format). An empty SD card still causes it?
2. Did you install any software like Xposed module or SD mount? Or have you swapped internal mem for SD card? (Some do it)
3. Does stock ROM also cause it?
4. Use move to phone option in the app. Move media to internal memory. Play it. Still heat?
I own 16 GB Trascend. No issue.

thank u for taking the time to write back Coming to your questions, I will answer them in the order they are numbered
1. I haven't tried inserting an empty SD card & check if this issue comes up
2. No I don't have any xposed module installed but I do have an app installed called "folder mount" but I have disabled it from starting up automatically (on boot/ when network connectivity changes)
3. Ya..all this I have witnessed on stock v10d ROM & I haven't installed any custom rom on my current phone yet.
4. I will try doing that but that won't be a fix because my video library won't fit in there
I would like to also add here that a day before I took my phone to the service centre, I was at a friend's house where he had deliberately put his 16 GB microsd card (Transcend Class 10, in this case) so that we could check if the phone heated up & surprisingly IT DIDN'T !
We had tried playing a full hd vid in mx player at full volume & brightness for 4-7 mins & there was no sign of heating.
Did this happen because the card was of 16 GB & had considerably less videos/ because card was of different make?
I don't have own a 16GB card personally since my previous phone was a moto g & before that I owned a P500 (optimus one) in which I put a Transcend 8GB class IV card.

Still cant know if its a software problem or a hardware problem until you test all of the above.
Does folder mount make your SDcard the internal memory?
Internal memory is heavily accessed by all Apps.
A 32 gb sd card will have twice the address length compared to a 16GB. At high speeds and at a high access rate, it may lead to a problem.
If you did swap SD an internal storage functions, you should consider switching back.
SD fix in Xposed module gives you full access to SD card. I think it is better than folder mount.
I do not own any 32 GB card of any company and hence cannot comment on hardware.

no it doesn't! it just makes mounts the app data so that the respective app understands it's in the internal memory. I haven't installed that xposed module for swapping external sd as internal memory yet but yes..I do have full write access to my sd card by installing SDfix app from playstore.
I think, I should insert a freshly formatted sd card (as u recommended), move current data to internal memory, test & then report here. Let me see how it goes.

I also have the same issue, mine is 16 gb sandisk sdhc card. Please let me know any work around.

does it get as warm as that of mine? pls monitor the temp using a coolify and share ur details. is the principal content of your sd card : video? have you tried testing it with a sd card of a different make (transcend/strontium/kingston/sony/samsung etc)?

Yes while playing video on YouTube, playing games, it heats up and drain battery very quickly. Right now i m traveling so cannot do any sort of testing. But during travel, within 2 hrs of music listening using ear phones, it drained 10% battery.

My apologies for the delayed reply! you should consider removing the SD card fully and check if the isssue persists. Also try decreasing your SD card content or use a blank SD card/one that contains other data than that of yours. monitor the temp & then report

Sure, i'll
