Hi guys
Had problems yesterday with my Storage Card being renamed to Storage Card2 etc and could not figure out what was up. Renamed it back as described in various places (By deleting the Storage Card folder created and resetting).
Today however the Storage Card is not showing up at all. Have tried the following:
- Remove storage card, copy contents onto PC using card reader and formatting. Copy contents back and put in phone. -> No luck.
- Hard reset. -> No luck.
Never had any other roms than the standard. Have not upgraded to 6.1 yet.
Could the contents stop it from showing up?
Cheers

One thing i could think of is a corrupt file.
Try formatting it again (with all your files backed up in your PC) and just insert the card with nothing on it. If it shows up and your phone reads it, a good bet that one or more of your files from your backup is corrupt and the phone is unable to read the card.
yes i suppose that is a logical step to do. lets hope it is. but luckily it is still under warranty if it is hardware...
Reformated the card (FAT32 is this right?) and loaded into HTC TyTN II without restoring files onto it (i.e. completely blank).
Still not showing up...
Any ideas?
ur storage card reader might have become faulty. i would recommend a warranty exchange for ur device.
Installing WM6.1 sorted this out...
I have the exact same problem as you had.. But I already have WM 6.1 and the storage card still doesn't show up..
Tried formating, etc and still nothing.. I can see all the contents if i use a card reader on my PC, but once I insert de card on my kaiser it doesn't show up..
Any ideas?
Have you hard reset? It didn't help me until I installed the WM6.1. Otherwise is it still under warranty. I was actually on the way to take mine in when I installed 6.1. Actually I should have taken it in as I have a scratch on my screen and I suspect they would have replaced the phone...
This problem usually happens if you are using a third party file explorer like Resco etc. and make non visible areas such as your ROM visible.
It then treats the new area as Storage card and the SD card becomes Storage card2.
Just check if you have any other memory areas set as viewable and undo this.
My storage card completely disapeared but came back when I installed WM6.1. Didn't use 3rd party explorers etc. But this might be Baretto's problem.
This problem also occurs when running Card Export II. The Storage Card is renamed as Storage Card2. The only solution is to remove the card and re-insert it.
This solved the problem for me.

The problem I originally described here was the Storage Card disappearing completely. Not renamed etc. I.e. there is no Storage Card2. Baretto may have a similar problem to mine or his may also just be renamed.
Yes, I have the exact same prob as lrossouw did. My mem card wasn't renamed. It just disapeared..
I've already did hard-reset, and I don't use any third party explorer.. I already formated the card.
My only hope is to flash another rom.
I'm using the official HTC 6.1 portuguese rom and i'de like to stick with this rom..
If I was the only one with this problem, I would think it would be a hardware prob, but lrossouw solved his prob by flashing another ROM, so I'm hoping there will be another solution..
EDIT: Just tried to flash another ROM and still no success.. Still Can't find my mem card
I got one better for you. I had to wind up formatting mine because of this. Here's the deal. I go to open up my storage card and the folder is there but none of my files are showing. Then I go to the memory to check the space available and it was still showing that I had half of the card full. So I popped out the card and plugged it into my computer with the same results, nothing. So then I soft reset twice, nothing. I pim backed up my phone and hard reset, nothing. The pim back up was on my card but nothing else. Then I made another my documents folder and for a split second it showed the files that use to be in the old my documents. So seeing that all was lost I formatted my card and I haven't had any problems yet. I started a thread about this but no one responded so I assumed no one else had this problem.
P.S. I have an 8gig sdhc card

No one has answered you, because there are already other threads about that problem.. Search and you will find them..
This thread is not about empty mem cards.. It's about the device not recognizing the card, so pls refer to other threads..
Thanks
Baretto is it possible to reflash it with the wm6.1 rom? It might fix it.

LOL,
Guy this is the easiest fix ever.
All you do is delete the folder that says "Storage Card" then remove & reinsert the SD card. SD 2 will disappear & be corrected upon reinsertion.
This issue happens because of the Unload delay & sometimes because of SD Power management issues.
Always best to make sure SD Card Power Management is DISABLED.

As I & Baretto posted before (read the bit you quoted) there is no *spoon* (edit:storage card folder). It is not there. Can't delete it if it is not there. There is no Storage Card 1,2 or any number either. The storage card is not showing up anywhere and not as SD2 either.
Mine was fixed by upgrading to wm6.1. Baretto is on wm6.1 already.
@ lrossouw
I already tried to reflash it with HTC original 6.1 rom and other 6.1 cooked roms and nothing..
I'm getting desperate..
I'm thinking about sending it to the warranty, but I'm predicting 1 or 2 months without my Kaiser if I do so
@ GSLEON3
What do you mean by "SD Power management issues"? As lrossouw said, I don't have the SD card rename problem, but maybe my Kaiser ins't recognizing the SD card because of something related with power mangement..
It might be power related. My phone was on very very low battery power just before this happened for me. In fact had to reset itself a couple of time due to low battery. The next day the storage card was gone.
Anythign similar for you Baretto?
My micro SD card is partitioned and I have been installing apps to it. The phone does recognize photos, music etc and everything else on the card, although the apps are not reading and loading. Can somebody please help???
When I restart the phone the apps at times do load, but not often. I have tried mounting and un-mounting the sd card in recovery mode but still no luck. Cleaning the card slot also did little to solving my problem. I have also formatted the sd card and did a clean wipe to the phone. The apps were loading but just for 1 day and the problem reoccurs. Completing a diagnosis on the computer to the sd card also did nothing.
I having been running CM6 nightly since it began but the problem recently occurred, so I've ruled that out. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers
I'm having a weird problem with a Nexus One. It had a 2GB microSD card in it that seemed to go corrupt (all the file names went crazy) so I reformatted it and it happened again within minutes. So today I bought a new 8GB microSD card and and the Nexus now gives the error of "Blank SD Card - SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem." It is unable to format the card, but it doesn't give an error. I tried formatting the card to FAT32 on my computer, still the phone thinks it is blank/unsupported.
I'm hoping the SD slot isn't fried... any thoughts?
You could try reformating the SD card in a computer using SDformater with erase on.
I have the same problem for a few weeks now. My phone can't seem to read the sd card at all. Thought it was the sd card so I bought a new one, but problem remains. I know both cards work (have tested them in another phone and the computer reads them). I've tried formatting the card in the phone and reformatting with erase on using SDFormatter in my computer but my phone refuses to read it. Think it might be my sd slot as well...
Currently running CM 7.1.0. Haven't tried a factory reset or flashing another ROM (how would one go about doing that with no sd card?) as I'm not too keen to lose that data if I can help it.
Did you manage to fix it?
I was not able to fix it and after many hours of troubleshooting, so I gave up. Good luck to you, and please reply if you find a solution.
Hi guys.
I've got an original 16gb Lexar, Class 10, bought on Amazon. My software is Gingerbread 2.3.3.
A few days ago I got a "Blank SD Card" error. The only solution seemed to be the format of the card. I have put the card into a card reader in my computer to try and get the data back, but all I managed to recover was some pictures from my holiday (I used a program for that). The card was in RAW state. I couldn't format it with my phone (nothing happened when I did) so I formatted it using my computer. I also did a factory reset to start from a scratch.
The same error appeared today morning. I did the same thing, but I insalled only trusted and well known apps such as Go Locker, Zedge and Fancy widgets. Everything was fine up to now - I didn't get an error this time, but everything on my card has been deleted (only the system folders such as DCIM and Android are on it, but there's nothing inside of them). All the application installed on my card are unavailable.
I'll be grateful for any help, I have no idea what to do. :crying:
Thanks,
Draggy
Edit: It's a Micro SDHC card of course, sorry for the mistake.
Are you sure it's a legit card?
Check if there is holographic stickers or anything that mark the product genuine.

I had my Samsung Galaxy Mini for over a year now and had absolutely no problems what so ever even after rooting it.
Week ago every application I try to install gives the "usb memory not mounted" error, so after searching and trying to solve this problem as it is an internal memory space issue couldn't solve and gave up eventually.
Days after I tried to install another application and it did install successfully, but then I restarted the phone and it was gone along with all pictures I captured at this duration were all gone, so I thought it was a SD card issue and started on trying to figure what was that.
I tried to add, remove files via the PC but after mounting the SD card to the device like there's lock and nothing happened. Tried to format the SD card using the device settings and the PC but still after reconnecting the SD card nothing changed.
Thought perhaps the SD card is broken, so I bought a new one which worked fine before mounting it to the device tried to take a picture and there it was, then I unmounted the SD card and mounted it once more in to the mobile and the picture was gone and the same story happened again. I even tried with another 3 brand new SD card, same story happened.
Please if you know what is that and if there any way to unlock the card tell me what to do.
PS. The microSD adapter isn't locked. And I'm not an android professional I'm a newbie XD
