Hi guys,
I have just bought my Tilt 8925. Everything is going fine except the Storage card, the PDA seems not able to read the storage card - Kingston 1G mircoSD.
I tried something like:
- Format the card with my PC and copy some file into the card but when I use File Explorer to find the card, nothing there.
- Check About: Expansion slot: In use
- Check Memory: Total storage card memory: Not installed.
What should I do to make the PDA recognize the card? Any help is much appreciated.
Hi there
Have you tried formatting the card with the PDA instead of the PC? I'm sure Windows Mobile has the setting somewhere (can't think off the top of my head!)
Or, could use 3rd party software like Pocket Mechanic to format it?

I have used Pocket Mechanic but even this software can not find the storage card. I have also tried with a few other cards but the phone can not read either.
What should I do now?
I think you may have a bad storage card. Have you tried another one?
If you try another and it still fails to read the card then it is the Tilt, but try another card first.

If you've tried other cards, then it seems like your phone has a hardware problem with the microSD slot. If you're still under the 1 year warranty, it should be covered.
Had a similar problem with my htc tytn ii (not tilt). Was a day away from booking it in for repairs when I downloaded the official WM6.1 rom. Flashed it and it worked.
Then it worked again. Hard reset didn't do the trick for me.
Thanks all guys
I have tried all solution that I could find from forum, google...But I have to convince myself that it is hardware problem.
I will flash another ROM as last hope.
I have the same problem for about 1month now.. It just stopped reading the mem card.. After a few days, I was able to see the card again in the device's file explorer, but after a few minutes it desappeared (lol)
I needed my tytnII, so I haven't send the device for repairs yet, but I will tomorrow..
I tried everything possible (tried to use other mem cards, flash offcial roms, cooked light roms, etc) but nothing worked.. And my mem card is read by other devices.. I'm also convinced it is a hardware prob..
Just be sure to revert to an official rom and revert the SPL as well, so you don't void the warranty.. You can find the instructions here
Cheers
Hi again
I know this doesn't really help but I had a similar problem with an SD card I bought for a digital camera a while ago (256MB card - biggest there was when I bought it )
I had bought 2 cameras and 2 cards (one for me, one for my dad). His memory card just refused to work in either of the cameras, but worked fine in my Nokia 6600 (told you it was a while ago!). Tried formatting with the PC, phone etc. but nothing worked - had to get a new SD card in the end to replace it
I'm having the same problem. Expansion slot says it's in use, but file explorer shows no card installed. Settings - Memory says no installation. Do you really think flashing a 6.1 rom might help?

Who are you asking?
Does it not see other cards? Even after a hard reset? If you don't have 6.1 then I would say that you are behind the times.
ChumlyEX:
I've read plenty of posts saying that 6.0 is preferred for many situations, stability among them. I just moved to ppc and haven't flashed yet. Do you recommend a specific cooked version?
Very Similar Problem
Hey everyone, before anyone says anything, i researched this pretty good and havent seen an issue similar to mine and this thread is a bit old so i might start a new one.
My problem is that my at&t Tilt is only reading one of my microsd cards,
they are all sandisk, they range from 64mb, 128, 256, (3 different 1 gig) 2 gig and a 4gig sdhc
the tilt reads the 128 with no problems, the others, in About section it shows expansion slot in use, but under Memory it says not installed. does the same for all except the 128mb
i tried them on another tilt, they all work fine
i tried them on my htc wizard, they work fine (with the exception of the 4g sdhc) because wizard has no support for sdhc.
they are all formatted over and over, tried fat32, and fat16 using windows xp, also tried formatting using good old DOS
Scanned them for visruses, none found
I just got the phone so i dont knonw much about the history of the situation, however it had original ship rom, tried reflashing, upgrading to different at&t roms (3 total) tried custom roms.
anyway if anyone reads this and knows something it would be very helpful
Thanks
I had the same problem. My Tytn stopped seeing storage card. I tried another card, same problem. I've flashed the ROM, same problem again. So I guessed it's not the software problem, it is hardware. I gave my device to repair store and they realized that one pin from card reader slot was broken and unable to read card.
That happen because the card I bought was just a slight wider than it should be, it's card manufacturers problem. And when I was putting that card in the slot, it broken one of the pins. It's unable to see it through slot, you need to open device.
They needed to replace whole slot and that cost me about 250 Euros.
****ty thing..
p.s. If you planing to return your phone to repair store and you still got warranty, be sure that you put back original ROM, if you have flashed now. They will not approve you warranty if you have custom ROM
Feedback changed flex cable
ok so this is intressting, and as i was saying in my previous post, there was no problem with the cards (that im aware of) and they worked on my friends tilt, so after some convincing, i got him to agree to let me take his phone apart this morning and swap up the cables so i dont go and buy a flex cable and it turns out its not it. well i took em both apart (without braking anything!!) and i power it up, and guess what, it did the exact same thing!!!!
so a working flex cable did not solve the problem, i tried my cable in his phone, and it worked, read about 7 different micro sd cards!
unless its the motherboard of the phone, or it has to be some software that a hard reset or oem rom wont fix.
there has to be something, i just wish i could find it!
well yesterday i was drunk and dropped my tilt into a toilet full of piss. I took it out to dry, took battery out and shut it off... i forgot to take out my microsd card though.
My tilt is working somewhat fine but its still clearly water damaged. same problem with all of u.. my phoen wont read the microSD card now and i cant load up android which is bull****. so it must be a hardware problem imo
that sux to hear, well i dont belive mine got wet, not that i know of and no signs of water intrusion on the little white water detectors. I am still trying different sdhc drivers but nothing yet
I solved my problem with a new front board and main ribbon. Swapped them out and everything reads perfectly. I paid around $30 or so on ebay for the part.

lucky you!! i did that and it didn't change anything
i even swaped boards, sim card reader, lcd screen, but it has to be something in the main board, i still belive it's a software issue or firmware maybe, something still stuck on that board, i tried it all from hard resets to different roms, spls, radios, reverting back to ship rom, other official roms and nothing. expension slot shows in use, but no storage card with the exception of a couple of different small ones that will show in file explorer, i can install cabs from them but cant really copy anything from device to card or card to device this is so annoying. I even went out and bought a new micro sd and ended up returning it cuz it did the same thing
Final Update
well i was sure that it had something to do with the board of the phone or at least a software or registry issue that was causing this problem, after being 100% sure that it wasnt the flex cable or anything I was lucky to find a motherboard for $26.50 (with shipping) on ebay, so i didn't even hesitate, baught it, swaped the camera (it was the only thing missing) and everything works! i dont know what i'm gona do with the board, but i doubt that im gona give up on figuring out what caused this problem and how to fix it, and i will keep on checking this thread on regular basics
Well I recently ran into an SD card problem. To find a solution I have searched many forums and Google. None have offered any solution. On my search for answers I have found at least 100+ G1 owners with the same problem. All posting within the last month. The error we are getting is "SD card removed. insert new sd card".
All threads I have come across have suggested to reformat the sd card, repartition, use ADB, cyans recovery image, to fix this problem. None of the above solutions have worked. A majority of the threads the G1 owners were still able to use there sd card with there pc.
Now I know this is in the right section. We need a developer to figure this out. A g1 without a sd card is like a g1 that is bricked. It is horrible not being able to download, play music, shoot pictures, ect.
i ran into this issue on a friends g1. came to find out he dropped it and the sd card would neved get seated correctly in the sd slot. i had to wiggle it a bit before the phone recognized it
Now we are getting some where. This solution didn't help me but might help others in the future when they use the search feature.
I had this problem on one of the roms I was using, maybe Dude's cupcake?
Wipe of the phone fixed it.
I have whiped and upgraded to new roms. My problem began when I entered a command into terminal to fix another problem. After that I whiped and updated to cyans.
I have experienced this 1 time only. When it happened to me, I removed it from the phone completely and checked it in my card reader. It picked up on the PC just fine and everything was still intact, so I knew the card was still good. I rebooted the phone without it and then shut down. Reinserted the card in the phone and booted into recovery. I ran the fix partitions thing and rebooted again. Problem solved. I personally haven't had any other problems since then. I was told on another forum as well that when you flash a new rom or even a new theme to run the partition fix included with cyans recovery. Something to do with apps2sd I think? I have just gotten into that habit and no more issues. Good luck.
I think I might have changed a path on my phone while in terminal and thats what is causing my problem. I can't get cyans recovery because my phone isn't reading the sdcard for me to install it. Also, good post I am sure your solution will help many!

Same for me. With Dude's it wouldn't read my SD card. Wiped, installed Cyanogen's ROM, wiped again, and the problem instantly went away.
Have you tried another SD card in the device? One that you know is good and working in another unit. I screwed up one of my older smaller cards trying to make a Goldcard. It has never worked since.
I tried that a few days ago. No luck there. Im glad were getting this thread going. So far I see a lot of good solutions. Best part about this is all the information is all in one place! If anyone has any input please do tell.
Do you have another card to test out? Have you tried to mount/unmount the card with the phone on? I know if a rom has built in apps2sd the unmount/format option is grayed out. Maybe try to take the card out with the phone on and reboot and then put it back in? Not sure what all to try. I know I was frustrated when mine was doing that as well.
This would happen to me all the time with the camera. I would take two or three photos, then I'd get a message that I need to insert an SD card.
I think the problem was the card. I was using a Patriot 4GB Class 6 card from Fry's. I switched to a Transcend 8GB Class 6 card and have not had any problems since.
It sucks having to buy a new card if you already have one, but $18 for a good quality 8gb card is pretty reasonable.
I have class6 card that does this.. I also have other card that don't .. in the case with my class 6 card it works fine untill I use it for apps to sd, wich in my case renders it useless..
It's word cuz it will load everything fine and run, but then freez up in the middle of use. That's when I know it unmounted itself. Then I'm forced to pull battary out or reboot.. I have truer every methed to fix it with no luck...
Mine is a 4gb c6 card and other than the 1 time, I've had no further problems. I have run A2SD for quite a while even before it was included with different roms.
First comment: Why is this in this section.
Most of these I've seen have been mechanical (poor card seating) - poor card contacts. Swapping the card has always removed the issue for me.
I've had 2 cheaper sd cards go bad. they looked like they worked fine when i put them in a card reader and plugged into a linux box -- but only at first glance.
further inspection revealed bad sectors and damage to the storage. Since i got a nice class 6, it has seemed fine -- i think you get what you pay for a lot of times.
Not to be crass, but this does not belong in this section of the board. Just because one seeks the expertise of developer, doesn't make it ok to post a thread in this forum.
My $.02
I agree, I also think it was cards that were just made bad I guess that's what I get for buying a cheap class 6 transcend from target lol..
Bad SD Card Slot
This happened to me to a week ago after flashing a new Rom, thought I do not think that the flashing had anything to do with it. I tried everything wiggling it , cleaning connection, reformatting. The card worked in other phones and computer but mine. I just think it went bad. Nevertheless after 5 days of getting no where I had T-Mobile send me a replacement

I should add that I also tried 2 new card as well both class 6
this is in the right section. If you havent noticed this a spread problem among many. We have tried other Sd cards. They do not work. This is a internal problem. Thats why its in the developers section. This post will save others from having to post about this same issues if they can find all the answers here. That being said if you have a problem with it maybe you should explain to me why brick threads, ect are ok in this section? There is nothing wrong with my sd card. Just like there isnt anything wrong with the other 5 sd cards I tried.
Google this you will find a lot of people having the same problem.
Hello there,
me again, i fear i do not have much luck with my note....
this happened to me with 2 different 32 GB sd cards (same type though) now. First time i thought the card itself was the problem, but now i doubt it.
When i first inserted the card, everything was fine, i copied several gb of music on it without problem, could access al files from phone and via Windows.
Played some files with MortPlayer the other day, and after the next restart of the device (had to shutdown for flight) it suddenly complained that i had removed the card while the system was running.
This does not happen at all with my old 8 GB sd, though, it's running fine whatever i do.
Cannot access the card anymore from phone, camera or PC (Win7 x64).
Runnning german stock rom ICS 4.0.3 rooted on the phone.
Did this ever happen to anyone else and/or is there i way to get that card running again? It does not show up under Windows at all anymore, not even as unformatted or so.
Any help or hints appreciated, thanks in advance.
Try paragon partition manager to format the sd card then see if it works if it does reformat on the phone. I read somewhere that you could format to ntfs and back to fat 32 to get it recognised

thanks for the quick answer.
the problem is (don't have paragon where i am atm, but tried with Acronis Disk Director & HP USB Repair Tool and i guess it would be the same with paragon?) that i simply cannot see the device anymore via such tools, same is for the windows disk/storage management.
So reformatting it seems not to be an option here, was more or less hoping that someone knows another "trick" how to get the thing back to life - and of course a reason why my Note might have "destroyed" the 2 cards.
did you buy these SD cards new ? if so was the seller a reputable one ? there are a lot of fake / dodgy Sd cards on the market nowadays
Do you use a card reader via a usb port ? if so try a different port, like one on the back, direct to the PC's motherboard, finally if that fails, try someone else's PC.
If all the above fail I guess the SD is completely dead. I dont know how the Note could have caused this unless the card was a fake, People are using 64GB SD's with no issues at all.
both were brand new cards, bought directly from Amazon.
Could of course be possible that they both were from a bad batch... Gonna ask amazon if there have been any issues with that product so far, could not find bad ratings for it though when i checked.
I'll try to get hands hands on another cardreader, left for vacations yesterday and just have my Netbook with internal USB based card reader, the Galaxy Note and a Nikon D7000 with me, which all do not recognize it, but the backup 8 gb sd card .
thanks for your time
S.
Amazon are friendly, If you havent had the cards long just explain to them the situation and im sure they will refund / replace.
You could be right about a 'bad batch' unfortunately with all the technology we have, it still happens
Hope you get it sorted :good: keep us posted !!!
Samsung NOTE - dead 32gb SD card
first - apologies - I am not an XDA developer (I am a retired architect... and a noob)
This thread came up when I searched "Samsung note destroys SD card". I will simply report my experience in the hope that others may find it useful.
I get a Samsung NOTE G-N7000 in late August & buy a 32Gb SD card from amazon (specifically getting a Samsung one to avoid any incompatibility)
I load about 7gb of music tracks onto it from my PC; it works perfectly& gives me good quality music playback until a week ago; then all playback form the card becomes impossible with an "unrecognised file type" message. I format the card in the phone. I dismount it. I slot itn to my PC, where "my computer" says that it has zero gb capacity, & will not format it. I mount it in my old Blackberry Curve which says it has 29.2 gb capacity - I format it - & the curve says it now has 1.2 gb capacity. The PC still says it has no capacity.
The only possible cause I cant hink of it is that I seem to remember there had just been an Android software uprgrade (to 4..0.3.?)
I find Samsung phone help, ring them, and get very badly run around - several times I am given a phone number for "Samsung SD cards" which is actually the UK "Orange" help number. I have rung three or four numbers at least threet imes each before I get through to Samsung SD cards help. They ask for photos of both sides of the micro SD card - having (I presume) established that it is a genuine Samsung product they e-mail me a product return form & code.
I have sent the card off to Florijn in the Netherlands.... I am not holding my breath.
It has not been a good week for memory...
- Outlook Express started to compact messages as the computer was closing down (so I have no e-mails before 15th Nov 2012)
- this SD card died on me
- & I forgot to go to a folk music dinner &music session that I had booked a week previously
I begin th think alzheimers might be a welcome release....
Your "watch this noob" video... perhaps one of the funniest videos I have seen for a while ... and certainly the most annoying... andyou expect "thanks"?
Well thats something really unusual. Because i am using my note for a year now and bought a 16 gb card with it. I onky encountered 3 errors where my n7000 stopped Reading the memory saying bad memory and what i did was to take it out of the slot and then reinsert it again and It worked fine.
The only advice i give to everyone. Dont plug ur phone to the pc or any other device always keep ur phone wireless with other devices so thst the malware cant replicate to ur storage. I use kies air or bluetooth exchange in cases there is large data i cooy it to the usb and then plug that usb to my phone and it works ok.

Hi,
I bought a kingston 32gb microsd SDHC class4 card for the note about 10 days back..Worked fine for 2 days then suddenly stopped working...Stopped working means does not get detected in the phone or on the laptop (there is no option for mount/unmount on the phone)..Ive tried my older 8gb card on my phone and that works fine..Ive also tried the screwed up card on my blackberry bold and it doesnt detect there as well..
Well, i thought its the card's fault and ordered a replacement...
They sent one and same story again!! worked for 2 days and same thing again
Now i dont know if its the card's problem or my phone's..Anybody with any idea??
PS - i am rooted and on criskelo v11.2 with speedmod 3-13 if it matters...also both times i had about 15gb of data in the card...
ive also tried blowing and cleaning the contacts..also tried inserting a piece of paper in the slot to cancel out loose contacts but nothing works
Thanks..
is the card showing up on the device under recovery?

i have the same problem but i was using 4gb for at least 5 months and first i tough that my old card busted so i bought a new card 8gb class 10 just in case and it lasted like 2 weeks so now i dont know if its a problem wt a phone or wt the cards.
so my question now is:
i mostly use my phone on a power saving mode when the battery comes to critical level like last 20 or so % so is there a connection to this.
thank you very much if anyone can answer this question.
Every so often I get an error saying the sd card is corrupt or not working or something, and photos or music on the card will not open. After a hard reset, it works fine. Is this common? The card is basically brand new but I suppose it could be that.
So I am having a lot of things acting weird. Apps not working, sd card failure... I need to do a hard reset about once a day now. It is becoming a little frustrating. Any suggestions?
So I opened up the sd and sim tray, took out the cards and put them back in. Seemed to fix the problem for a number of days. This morning I had the failure again and I opened the tray and I noticed that the SD was a little off... does anyone else have this problem? Of the card moving around? Any idea how to fix it?
I may just have a bad sd card, now that I think about it.
Thank you because now i know i am not the only one with this problem!

Hey actually I got a new sd card and it has ZERO problems now. Taking the card in and out was only a temperary fix. i think the real problem was a bad chip. I had the PNY 128gb one ($30) and now I am using the SanDisk 128gb one ($40). I would only buy SanDisk from now on.

Unlucky many people have the same problem and no, your sd card is good... there is something wrong with the hardware or software of the huwawei..
I'm having the same problem with my Huawei P9 lite, both the phone and the SD card Kingston32GB are new, i even bought another SD card because i thought the first one was bad, but the problem persist. I haven't found a solution yet.
I have the same problem. I do not think it is specific to the card. I think the card is dislodged and moves around in the card tray and thus gives the issues.
I wanted to but a new card as well, but think this will not solve the issues. I will try sticking the card in the slot somehow to see if that solves things....
I've had my P9 Lite for a month now, and I've only started getting the SD Card corrupt error since last night. Unmounting, and mounting it again fixed it briefly, but then I got the error again while trying to take a photo about an hour ago. I've just formatted the SD card to see if it will fix the problem. I'm hoping for the best.
Have any of you fixed the issue successfully?
I get this when I copy a large files to the microSD card, movies for example (1080P FLAC 4GB each or something). It still works fine though.

Just an update: My SD card gave in completely last night! :crying: It worked fine after formatting, without any errors, until it just stopped working, so I lost a few days of pictures. Anyway, the SD card isn't even being read in my laptop, so it's definitely a goner. I'm currently using a different memory card, to make sure that the same doesn't happen to that one, to make sure it's not my device corrupting the cards.

Sounds a lot like my issues.
After having the phone P9 lite for about half a year, i'm on my second sd card.
2 weeks ago, i had the message it was bad once or twice, but now my phone is acting weird. A few apps (Twitter, netflix, pokemon go) will just start and close instantly sometimes. Apps will just crash. And everytime i reboot my phone, all that has happened after the 6th of July is nowhere to be found on my SD card.
It took me a few days to realize I might have some problems.
But reading this thread i might invest in a new sd card before doing a factory reset.
Problem is from bad quality sd card not from the phone,exactly like u are connect usb flash to your computer,if sometimes u have problem with the usb flash ,u should blame the usb flash not your computer.your phone is just a reader,try to buy good quality sd card

Did the same thing happen to your first SD card? I actually only started getting the issue when I updated to Nougat. I noticed that when I reboot my phone, just before it switches off, I see the notification that the SD card was removed abruptly, so I think it could have something to do with the software that doesn't safely eject the SD card before the device restarts or shuts down. I might be wrong though, but it's just a theory. I don't restart my device too often, but when I sometimes insert my SD card into my card reader, I get a prompt to say my SD has errors, and needs to be scanned.

I had a Kingston one, something i consider good quality.
But you make a valid point and i'm currently looking around for a new one.
It seems that for now my problems are solved by an old one i had lying around.
Saw SanDisk being promoted.

No, it behaved quite differently. That escalated from one of two error messages in a week to multiple errors daily.
And it was really corrupted, couldn't format it on the pc or anything.
But how is your current card behaving? All is well?

I had a Kingston one, something i consider good quality.
But you make a valid point and i'm currently looking around for a new one.
It seems that for now my problems are solved by an old one i had lying around.
Saw SanDisk being promoted.

I had a 32GB (Class 4) Kingston SD card as well, which is one of the brands Huawei recommends to do software updates with. I had that card for 4 years, if I remember correctly, and I've used it with 3 devices, including my P9 Lite, which was the only device it gave problems in (only after updating to Nougat).
At the moment it's still behaving. I got a 32GB Class 10 Sandisk a week or two after my previous post, and so far it's fine. Like I said earlier, when I put my SD card into my card reader, I get an error message to scan my SD card, which means my device doesn't eject my card correctly, before rebooting. I still believe it is either an issue with Nougat, or EMUI 5.0. Again, this is my theory, according to my personal experience.

For me the problem also seems to be solved in the mean time with a new sd card.
Don't know if i like your theory though, since it would mean it is just a matter of time.
On the other hand, google does not show that many complaints......
Time will tell I guess.

I don't like my theory either, lol, but today when I was taking photos, I tried viewing the photos within the camera app, but it took a while to load them, and my gallery app stopped responding. I'm hoping it doesn't have anything to do with the SD card though, but I can't help being sceptical.

I changed from Samsung to Sandisk, yesterday after os update same thing. Took out the card, apps default to internal storage and works. Reseller is no help say it's virus. I am sorry I gave up my Samsung edge. May be should have bought iPhone if only working wit internal storage.
I have an expensive SanDisk card and it's worked fine for over a year, just started happening to me too now though...
