Its been a week since Ive been desperately searching with no luck!!!!!!!
I just baought a kingston 32gb class 6 micro sdhc but when ever i put it in my hd2 it just freezes up and as soon as I remove the card it works fine again.At first i though that it was a fake so I:
1)performed multiple tests,
2)reformated a 1000 times,
3)even putting 20gb of data just to make sure.
Turns out that it is authentic and it works perfectly on my girlfriend's htc BalckStone it also worked when I installed NAND (which i later removed due to insufficient memory).Ive been searching for weeks, I think its a windows mobile issue, any tips??
HD2 freezing with microsd
I have the exact same problem.
HD2 + 32Gb Kingston micro SD card (bought from ebay)
Freezes on card insertion. Unfreezes when card is removed.
Found any solution?
Do a google search for SD Formatter.
Try reformatting using that program.
Also, when you're reformatting, don't use the phone, use an external card reader or adapter.

If you ahve bought a 32GB SD card from ebay there is a very high probability that you have bought a FAKE 32 gb card.
If it was cheap its 100% a fake card.
These fake card are actually 1/2/4/8/16GB card but have been modded to report 32GB, some of them you can use but data will get corrupted as soon as you get near the real capacity. Some will just not work from the offset.
Stick your card into your pc via reader/adapter and run it through a drive scanning software and see if its got any bad sectors you will soon know if its fake or not.
The same issue with my 16gb microsdhc. On my friends Samsung Galaxy S it works, on microsd carder it works. But not on my HD2.
I had scanned my microsd with few scanners all of them shown that my SD is in perfect condition.
What about formating? What program should I use? And what formating options should be(file system and etc.)

Fat32, 32KB Cluster, Quick is fine usually but do a normal format to test your card
I red somewhere says that HD2 are compatible with 32GB SDHC class 2 only..
Same problem here…..
Is there any hot fix for the HTC HD2 to solve this problem?
The card is Kingston 32g class 4.

This is an issue that has yet to be solved, unfortunately I cant get any real answer even after searching for weeks. My only solution now is just to buy a 16gb and use the 32gb for some other occasion.

Oh, yes it is. At least mostly true, if not even absolutely true.
I've been using a class 2 32 GB Sandisk micro SDHC card for a year now on my HD, and it will go into my Leo as soon as I get it. Absolutely no problem at all, of course.
It's also the one to use on the HD7 to get the maximum available storage memory.
It was quite expensive when I bought it, but it never bothered me, neither did the Sandisk Compact Flash cards I'm using with my goo old Canon EOS 350D camera.
Some Kingston memory card seem to have compatibility issues with some devices (I'm thinking about EeePCs, too, as it's a very frequently reported problem), but it may be essentially related to higher speeds, as those cards drain too much current. The symptoms are exactly the same : the device will sometimes boot when mains powered, but will crash as soon as you disconnect the mains plug, and won't boot at all from battery power.
The HD2 (and HD7, as it's exactly the same hardware) is known for not loving too much current consuming memory cards, so you'd be wise to stick to class 2 only, as it's supposed to be what HTC recommends.
If you still want to use class 4 or 6 cards... Then don't complain if it doesn't work.
And no, it is not "absolutely true". While the HD2 may not r/w any faster no matter the card, any class will work just fine.

Easy. I always first format my cards using a card adapter and a windows machine.
I know for a fact that class 6 microsdhc 32GBs work. It's what I have in my phone now. I also use a 32gb class 2.
I'm using a Kingston card. I've formatted, the computer sees a mass storage device with 30.2 gb available. However it locks the phone up in the boot sequence. Any Ideas?

What program did you use to format it?
One recommended app, outside of the built-in windows app, is SD Formatter:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
(Link leads to the SD Association, of which I have no affiliation.)
If you have a card adapter, format it there instead of while inside the phone. Good luck
You suggestion is right.
Correctly formatting the card first generally solves most of the problems.
However, most high class micro SDHC cards will probably drain too much current from the phone. You have to find a really serious brand, and a really good one.
I've tried the posted formatting tool. Is there a setting or something I'm missing? After an hour of formatting, nothing, same problem.
I put the card in a 3 year old blackberry curve I had before the HD2, and no problem. I then put an 8gb class 6 card I had in that same blackberry into my HD2 and it worked fine.
I'm trying not to have to return this card because I don't want to wait another week and a half for back shipping etc.. Please give me some hope
"SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem" --arghh
I recently bought a Class 10, 16gb card from Patriot and RMA'ed it because it kept declaring itself damaged sometimes (although it did work for weeks at a time). Now the new card they shipped me doesn't work at all in my Captivate.
It seems to work in everything except my Captivate (which is where I actually need it to work). It works in my father's Motorola Bravo, in my Canon Camera, and in my computer's SD card reader.
But when I put it in my Captivate, it'll say "SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem". When I try to format it, it won't actually do anything. Sometimes it won't read the card at all, it'll be like I never inserted it.
My Captivate works perfectly with all the 2gb cards I have which are probably Class2's. I'm clueless what is wrong.
Some class 10 cards will not work well in phones. Sorry mate.
It's certainly seeming like that's the case. Oh well. At least I can use it in my camera.
Are class 6 cards ok to use with a Captivate? Is that the highest class that's fully supported?

Did you try formatting with your computer, then inserting into phone? Used to have a phone that would only take card that way.
I've tried formatting on the computer both through windows and the SD card formatting utility from the SD card group. I've tried everything... my captivate hates that card even though my computer and father's phone have zero issues with it.

What make and model 64GB card are you using?
I just bought a 64GB SanDisk Class 10 that comes formatted exFAT (curse Microsoft with their damned proprietary filesystem and convincing gullible vendors to license it. I'm looking at you Sharp). I stuck it in the Atrix HD and formatted it when prompted at first boot with it in. It was mounted for a bit, but I couldn't write to it and whenever I launched Settings and selected Storage Settings would crash. I just re-partitioned and reformatted it FAT32 in my laptop using a combination of diskpart and Acronis DiskDirector 11 Home. At the moment I am waiting for my files from my old Lexar to be copied to it before I stick it in the Atrix HD again. Will suck if the HD has problems with this card. Can't complain about the brand as SanDisk is one of the inventors of SD cards, including MicroSD.
I'll report back what my experience is.
I thought the Atrix HD was only compatible with SDHC cards (thus 32 GB maximum capacity).
The cards that are 64 GB (and higher) are SDXC, and not compatible.
I got this one when it was on sell a week ago for $43.50 shipped.

Yeah, it isn't just the reviews; Motorola's specs state "Up to 32 GB microSD," but as was pointed out before what they really mean is MicroSDHC cards. However, as these are all extensions of the SD format one would hope that SDXC cards would work. I've seen a few other reports of people using 64GB cards with the HD w/o problems. I'm just curious as to what has been the experience of the people here as they are generally a good deal more tech savvy than on the other forums.
So far the only hiccup I've had is that it wouldn't format the card. Also twice I've tried to unmount and then remount the card, after which the phone thought the card had mounted, but it wouldn't use it. A reboot fixed this each time.

I formatted my card in my phone, put it in my pc and copied 33GB of mp3s, then copied the stuff from off of my old card 23GB, then some tv shows. I watched the tv shows from my phone, deleted mp3s and recorded a movie. I have yet to unmount and remount.
have you tried searching for this? I remember there being a topic about people using 64GB SD cards already in this forum
Hey everyone. I started my ZR with an older (don't remember the brand) 8G class 6 memory card. All was fine for 2 weeks.
Then I bought a Kingstone 16G class 10. After 2 days, error message "SD Card unexpectedly removed". The card was dead, no computer could read it anymore.
I went back to the store and changed my card. Another Kingstone 16G class 10. After exactly 2 days, the same error. Card is completely dead. I cannot go back to the store, because they checked the second one and it was working fine.
I am sure the phone somehow destroys the cards. But the first one I used seems to be fine.
My question is: What memory cards do you use? Should I try a card with a different brand, a different capacity or a different class?
Thanks!

I think Kingston has issues. Bought a 16 gb one from them and it packed up in a week. My dealer replaced it and cautioned me never to buy them as though cheap, they're prone to failure. I then bought a SanDisk and have been using them ever since

It's great, fast and didn't cost that much at the time. I think it cost me € 31,- at the time.
That was 1,5 years back or so and now there are really cheap.:highfive:
Big capacity and high speed, so you can watch series/movies on your ZR!

What sdcard are you using now?
Previously I said my Sandisk 32GB class 10 card is fine. But after upgrading to 4.2.2, I was having similar issue as yours. First there was "SD Card removed unexpectedly" message appear. Today my card is not recognized by the phone anymore. Though it's still working fine in PC and other phone.
Similar issues have been reported by users of other Xperia phones as well. Some Xperia L users said the problem is fixed after upgrading their firmware which was released a few days ago.
im using samsung 32gb class 10 with no issues so far.
http://www.samsung.com/in/consumer/memory-storage/memory-cards/micro-sdhc-plus/MB-MPBGC/CN
and im on 4.2.2
So it looks like it's a problem of class 10? Hmmm. I wish I knew the exact problem before I buy another one.

Using Sandisk 16gb class 10 Ultra HC - 0 problems,fast and stable
Last night I switched to my old Kingston 32GB class 10 because my Sandisk 32GB UHS-I can no longer be recognized by the phone, thought it still works fine in my PC and old phone. So far zero "unexpected removal" has been detected. Interestingly, I bought this Sandisk sdcard a few months back because the Kingston was not working properly in my previous phone (HTC Incredible S).
So this post starts to make sense. Maybe class 10 cards doesn't play well with smartphones after all.
I have a SANDISK Ultra microSDHC Card UHS-I, Class 10, 32GB for Android.
So far I have no problems with it, so I don't know if it's the same SD like you were using @itandy.
I have the same one too man but no problems here I've even been flashing back and forth between firmwares testing out different regions. If you still have the warranty you should try get a replacement.

I doubt it's the problem of my Sandisk card since it's working great in PC and in my old phone. In fact, when I first saw this post my reaction is the same. It must be your sdcard. But now I'm not so sure. I'm very surprised when I Googled about the issue and found many people are having similar issue with different Xperia phones. Specifically the latest Xperia L firmware fixed issue with class 10 sdcard too.

Let us know if you find a 128GB that your VS986 is happy with.
I use the 64GB version of that exact PNY card in another phone without any issues for several weeks months now., then bought a Samsung 128GB because I needed a larger card.
I am actually using a Lexar 128gb in my h815 no problems at all. Also have a second one in my v500 which works fine too. No unmounting problems at all.

Sony's firmware has a own sd card knowing system. I have used my Xperia Z1 for 2 years, whenever I plug a new sd card it was offering me format it or it was scanning almost 5 minutes.
I suggest you format it first ExFat then format it FAT32 in windows. After you plug in the phone format it in settings- storage-format sdcard.
If your sdcard is not broken or it had not harware problem, above instructions will fix all problems...

Have a question on my SD card in my LG G4. Not having any problems but thought someone here may know. Using a sandisk 64 gig and when looking at in ES file explorer or the stock explorer instead of it showing up as ext sdcard like all my other phones it shows up named 4C5e-5C17.
Any reason for this? Attached a screenshot. It's working fine just not what I am used to seeing.

I know a few people who use 64GB and 128GB microSDs from PNY for some time now. No issues so far. Chances are that some of them were fake. Happens everywhere. I bought a dozen of 32GB and 64GB of Samsung microSDs respectively. Two of the 32GB ones and four of the 64GB ones turned out to be obvious fake and surely enough, didn't work after a few write cycles. Also the colors didn't match, some didn't even had the S/N printed on the back. Wasn't even bough on some weird internet marketplace. I bought the from a legitimate local store in bulk.

1. Try formatting in the phone or another device without microSD adapter.
2. Try a different microSD adapter with PC for formatting and confirm write protect switch is off.
3. If one and two fail, return to seller or RMA to PNY.
Backup up data firstly, of course .

I also tried the PNY 128gbyte sd card (it was on sale). My G4 just spit it out no matter what I tried. Also an older 32 gbyte Kingston one.
What ony seems to be working is a high tier version, like the Sandisk extreme (90 MB/s)
The 128gb PNY works fine in my Note 10.1 2014 though
