in x8 storage it shows space unavailable.

i dont know. there's got to be a way updating it by wifi.
have you searched google?

yes i have but everthing i attempt always says "you must have a sd card"..lol
which i have in but not recognized.
pc companion recognizes the x8 is plugged in but will not connect as "i must have a sd card".
if i take out the sd card... only then the gingerbread logo pops up on the x8 saying "copy files"...but wont because the sd cards out.

hmmmm iv never come across this problem before. i will have a scout around for you see if i can find anything

try disabling usb debugging
it solved my problem

ah ha
iv got 2 things.
have you got a sd card slot in your computer and a sdcard converter thing. try sticking the card and just the sd card (take sd card out of phone but turn off phone first)
2. i think its not just the lcd that is damaged. ithink something else happend that no1 else recognized

tryed that.....think iv tryed most things.

no card reader.
as for more damage than the lcd........possibal but it was pressure on the bottom right hand side of the display that done the damage..wast droped.
so im skeptical on that one.

result!!!!!!!
booted in to xrecovery/advanced/boot usb device.
i then fired up pc companion and everthing went as normal running the repair option.
i now have my sd cards working ?????....and a boring looking x8.lol
i would have to root it again to flash with gingerbread...right??.
still very confused what the problem was.

weird but at least its working again now.
P.S yes you will have to re-root it and probaly install xrecovery again too since it requires root access and install gingerbread rom again
good luck

ok thxs for your help
everythings back to normal now....includeing gingerbread.
i couldt resist re-flashing back to find out if it would be ok..lol and it is

If you can, post detailed information about your problem and the solution. This can help another people

PLEASE help with sd card

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.

Try format card via recovery. Always worked for me.
Try remove partition and make new one as well. Then format it from phone.

I think you won't need the CWM-apar, just the format using your phone

You could also try repairing your phone with SEUS...
It would be better to see if stock can manage your sd card or not

He has already did it with no success.
I had similar issue on som roms on LG GT540.
I inserted card into card reader. Remove partition. Make new one and format it from phone.
Try change filesystem from FAT32 to exFAT. Can also help.

When you will format SD Card on PC then you dont have to format once again on phone.

Theres a lot software for making/removing/changing partitions. In win XP is also in Computer Managment an option where you con check for existing partitions, making it, or remove. I dont know if there is similar software on other windows (I dont use it ) Just use google and some brain.
Did U used MTP (Multimedia) Mode or MSC (Memory) Mode?

It could be a software issue.

Micro Sd card compability?

hey guys, i have an xperia sp LB unroted on stock 4.3 i updated from sony bridge for mac. Is the sp compatible with cards over 32gb? i would like to know as i am about to get a case and sd card as i plan on taking many pictures during my upcoming vacation and i dont know if the 64gb card will work. Thanks in advance

For many people 64gb cards work a treat on others the phone wont detect the card.
It depends on your current Rom and on the brand of your Micro SD card (For example i heard that Sandisk 64 Micro SD card work with XSP )

so i guess i should play it safe and just get the 32gb card? I dont have a custom rom im using the stock one

It depends on the card, a friend of mine had 64 gb sandisk on his xperia sp, and worked fine, i tried to put it on my xperia sp, and it didnt recognize it

From what i've seen so far i would trust a Sandisk 64GB card to do the job.

so if i put a 64gb card in then go to settings>storage>sd card and it says 64gb available then it works but if it doesnt say theres a card it wont work?

If it recognizes your card there it should be no problem but after one point its just a game of chances.But i think if you partition the card to 32 and 32 gb partitions it should recongize it even if it does not when its not partitioned. (I just thought that never tried it )

Any Help? :(Rooted z1 LB now I Have a Dead SD Card

Recently rooted my z1 by NUT's method to the latest fw.I was really enjoying it suddenly this problem appears.First i copied some apk files to my SD card but recognized they dont show up in file commander or another file manager.I thought it might be because i use sd fix and folder mount programs to copy my games to SD card in kitkat.Now i have an SD card i cant read or format.

Is it working on PC?

Nothing works.I tried to format the SD on my pc in different ways eg. disc management but my effords seem to be non-sence.I guess both the SD card and internal storage of my phone turned to RAW format itself.I repaired z1 by pc companion so no more root and i feel very upset for that Internal storage now works fine but looks like my one day used SD is gone for good

So, it's dead I think. Test it on other phone, maybe this will help.

Try to format your card with this application on PC (no quick), if you still have problems then your card is dead.
