I noticed that like me some other people have problems with the kaiser not reading a micro SD card.
I have a 8 GB Sandisk Micro SD card and a T-Mobile MDA (with the original firmware)
A couple of days ago my Kaiser could read the memory card. Task manager (PPC) said it was not installed (something like that, I have a Dutch firmware). I had all the files on my PC so I formatted the SD card and tried again. No go..
some time later I repeated the process and it worked, for over an hour or so. (WMP was transferring some music when I got a notification that there was problem.)
I tried to use the original 1 GB SD card, didn't work.
Next I tried a hard reset. Again, a no go..
So.. I think the problem is in the hardware [Peran is wondering what the status is on those promised hardware acceleration drivers..]
been using 1gb, 2gb, 4gb, and 6gb ones...havnet had a problem...havent tried 8gb tho
6GB + 8GB working with it for the last 6/7 moths. And did not have any problems.
At the risk of sounding rude...
What is the point of having a poll on this? you got a bad card ...we see that.We have read your other post.
there isn't really a point.. Just me knowing that I am about the only one with the problem.
On topic; yesterday evening I tried it again and.. the problem is gone..
Has anybody any ideas what I did wrong? ... it seems to be me that is doing something wrong.
Still no problems..
are you going to retract your vote?
I dont know. I hate things like this happening..
Still no problems..
Offtopic, does XDA forums 'close topics'?
I have similar problem. 6gb card been working for months.
Suddenly the HTC can't see it.
Can still see it on PC.
Reformated it, etc and still no luck.
i had this, it turned out to be some exe files which were corrupt, and were screwing up the PDA.
As soon as i removed these, access to the card speed wise, was also greatly increased. Seemed to be the icons for the exe files failed to load, and hung the PDA.
I doubt its the card thats failed, more than likely, the drivers.
i formatted the memory card and hard reset my tytn. there are no files on the memory card...
Im having the same problem again...

I have the same problem.. My Kaiser stopped reading my sd card..
What exe files did you erase? How did you find the files that were currupted?
Thanks
Mine didn't work on/off for a while after I dropped my Kaiser...but i put it back in and stuff and it has worked for about a month since.
I just got my tilt today. And I threw my 1gb Lexar in and it won't recognize, and my pc won't recognize it either.
My tytn2 is running HTC official rom(WM6.1).
I'm currently using a Sandisk 8GB MicroSD card without any issues for a couple of months now.
Run fsck on the card... If that comes up clean, there's a problem. Otherwise, the Kaiser (WM?) is just very picky.
used a 1 GB Sandisk in the past, upgraded to 4 GB Sandisk..no problems with either one...
having problems with mine right now.
The other day while driving tomtom displayed a message about my accessing my map settings.
I closed tomtom and started it again as i'd had problems in the past with my BA not reading from the card. no maps found!!??? I checked with file explorer card was there but no files on my card. I checked with resco file explorer still no files.
When i got home i checked through active sync, and tried a few restarts, same again so i thought it may be the phone, only had it a week.
I tried the card in my card reader ...strange... 3 gig was being used but no files on card.
Formated the card put everything back aarrgggghhhh!
Today go to put speed cameras back on card and all files on the card have strange names with blocks in.
I unplugged the usb ready to format, again. Rebooted the phone pluged in the usb all files back to normal.
God that seemed like an essay!!
I have had the same thing happen several times. Most of the files on my card have disappeared and I know they are still there. I have found 2 causes.
Sometimes I disconnect the sync cable with out closing folders. Especially when I have been installing things directly to the card. My card will only show a few files but when I connect it back to the computer it will fix itself. The files suddenly reappear.
The second cause took me a while to figure out. I use a motorokr in the car to listen to my music while I drive. Sometimes I shut off the power without stopping wmp. Again the card will show no files. I knew they must still be there but connecting to the computer didn't help. I decided to update my wmp library and suddenly everything was back. Hope this helps someone!
Yesterday my girlfriend told me all of a sudden her programs on her storage card stopped working. Well come to find out, it was like everything related to windows on the card was deleted somehow (program files, application data, etc.). She used to have the same card in a flip phone so the folders from that like music and pictures still exist. She hasn't changed anything on her phone, I usually do all that for her, so she wouldn't have done anything in that department.
Anyone heard of this happening before?
Any help would be greatful, I would like to possibly retrieve some files before I reformat the card.
Thanks in advance.
Step one: Buy a SD reader. You can get one on Ebay, Radioshack, etc. Very cheap. 5-25 dollars. I think 25 is even pushing it.
Step two: see if you can retrieve files with reader
Step three: after retrieving said files, format your SD card.
You forgot step four:
don't let girlfriends use technology and don't trust anyone when they say nothing happened
j/k
Very true. She sometimes can be a little thick, but with Windows mobile, who knows what can happen.
I've had the exact same thing happen to me. AT&T Tilt and 6GB Sandisk MicroSD.
File Explorer on the phone shows nothing on the card. Tried reading the card with a card reader on the PC and it also shows the card is blank. However, the Tilt's memory usage program still shows 3GB of memory is used on the card.

Same problem here (few times). Even change the SD card. Maybe something in power managment (kaiser tweak?)
Same problem here - lost a TomTom map just randomly - copied map back on, same files, same path.... still using and extra 1gb....
Good stuff...
Cart corrupting on Kaiser is often a problem, you can use a card reader and the soft R-Studio to try get your stuff back...it worked great for me =)
And after formating your card, try to install the Artemis plugin for Card corruption...=)

I have not heard about this plugin either. Interested!
I have had the same issue having lost tom tom maps pictures etc. I have actually installed the artemis card coruption fix as I had that phone b4 this one & it still has happened to me a few times. I am going to format card one last time & the phone from default & see if this occurs again, as I believe it to be caused due to excess heat from the device but that is only a hunch as each time it has occurred the phone has been red hot prior to this.
Guys, I've been searching for the last couple of weeks for solutions to what I believe is a unique problem with N1, so here I am ...
Basic details of NI:
Mod: Cyanogen 6.0.0
Kernel: 2.6.34.5
Baseband: 5.08
Build: FRF91
Issue number 1: Intermittent detection of SDcard.
A few weeks ago the N1 was not detecting my SDcard. I searched the web and tried a number of solutions. What has worked for me is to shut down, reseat the SDcard and hope for the best. Sometimes this would work after a couple of attempts other times I'd try this over days...
So I decide to buy a new card. Kingston 16gb SDHC. I format this for FAT32 copy my files across and pop it in. It gets detected, but once again intermittently, though it is detected after a shutdown and reseat more often than the previous card.
Now here is the uniqueness of my issue which I haven't been able to find in other places.
Even is the card is detected by the system and loads all the applications that are installed on it, if I go to 'manage applications' and select an application the 'total', 'application' and 'data' fields under storage show "computing..." and this doesn't change no mater how long I leave it. This is also the case for 'cache'.
Also, if I go to 'sd card and phone storage' it show the total space and available space no problems, but if I try to unmount it stalls then crashes out of settings.
I have no trouble reading either card on my Windows 7 machine.
Does anyone have any ideas on this particular issue?
Issue number 2 is that I can't update my apps ... it always gets stuck on 'installing ...'. I suspect however that if I sort out issue 1, issue 2 will also be solved.
Any help is much appreciated, as I'm rather at my wits end...
Ok, so an update on this. I've done a bit more reading, and discovered that my problem isn't so unique after all. Have tried a number of things, but nothing has worked perfectly for me yet.
I've wiped the card, reformated and the phone now detects it.
When I copy across all the files again the card stops being detected again.
So then I delete everything but the .android_secure folder and it still doesn't detect.
Does anyone know what app could be causing this?
I've seen some success by formatting the SD with a specific PC based program. Formatting from the phone gives mixed results.
Unfortunately, I can't remember the name, so you'll have to search...
If I remember, I'll post back...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Try SD Formatter.
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
So after tinkering around with this issue a little bit, I ended up deleting the .android_secure folder.
After this everything seemed to work again. I could install apps and the card was being detected just fine.
Now, a couple of weeks later, I am having the same issues and it is again driving me nuts.
Does anyone have an idea of what the app is that is causing this problem?
I have the same problem since yesterday!
Btw I have rooted stock Froyo FRG83D, locked bootloader.
I think the app I installed yesterday was SetCPU. I don't know if the problem appeared because of that..
My apps installed on the SD Card are not recognized but I can see my photos in the Gallery which are stored on the SD Card as well! WTH!
Also I cannot install anything from the market..
Any solutions anyone?!?
I think what is screwing up the apps is using CM's ability to move apps to the SD card.
I have reinstalled all the apps using Titanium and have only moved those that you can natively. Will see how this goes.
I have a problem (my friend also) on the Note, when I load videos on microSD, in any folder, they disappear after some time. I do not use Kies, but frequently I connect the phone with cable for external storage.
thanks
Hi,
no idea to solve?
Did you try doing a disk check?

...the strange thing is that a friend has the same problem...
^^ are those 720p videos ? or greater than 4gb in size ?
same issue
Most of the videos has been deleted from my micro sd card (32 gb) with my galaxy note. It is really frustrating,problem disappears if using phones storage. A fix is requested urgently cuz this not accaptable from samsung.

While connecting the phone to the PC it is possible that a program intended for synchronizing or importing media file to PC can delete the files from SDcard. So does "PMB Sony" for example. You can change it in options.
Same issue with samsung Galaxy s2
Same issue here. My device keeps deleting video files from my external 16gb microsd.
I put video files inside a folder (/media/video) and after some time the files disappear. The only thing that I do is plug and unplug from a pc mounting usb storage several times a day (i do not use Kies).
I also used a freeware program to recover deleted files from the microsd and found out that the files were marked as deleted (i had success in recovering).
This thing is starting to be very annoying.
I'm on MIUI 1.12.9.
Thanks
I confirm that I have the same problem.

If I store video on the phone memory (not inside te microSD), the problem persists,
without using Kies, where can I found the menu to change options?
thanks
recovery program
Can you tell please which recovery program you have used cuz i tried one program but couldn't recover them . Thx

This is true and I also can confirm this. I did not notice that my videos were missing until I saw this post and checked for my videos on my XD card and they were all gone What was odd was that the video which were transferred over from another computer to the XD card did not vanish but the videos which were recorded with this Samsung Note did all vanish WTF
I never did a sync either.
I really don't remember the used application 'cause I did it on a pc that i can not acces anymore. In any case, the application was free and i really found it on 5seconds search on google.
bye
I'm thinking of two things, neither of which are probably right
Firstly, I recently installed Window7 alongside my Linux Mint installation. On this I've noticed that if I copy files from Mint to the windows partition that Win7 often does a chkdsk thing on booting up and goes and deletes all these files ! I've never had this happen with any other version of Windows (Xp, etc). I'm wondering is there some filesystem 'tag' on your pc that makes the system think that file is corrupt or something and results in the files being hidden/deleted.
Secondly, I was looking on Amazon for a Sandisk sd card and I saw a review by a guy who said that many sd cards are fakes and not made by Sandisk at all. Apparently a lot of these have a much smaller capacity than claimed and as you add data they fill up and older data is destroyed. Here is the link

I never connected my Samsung Note to a Windows PC and the videos still vanished.
Same issue here..
First of all, I don't think it's a resolution issue because I have two similar videos, one disappeared while the other is still there.
Second of all, my videos are on the phone's memory and not an external sd.
If I go to folder details and check last modified date I notice that all folders from which videos have disappeared have been modified at the same time.
No solution?!
did anybody contact Samsung?
and could it be app "smart lock" causing this disappearance?
thanks
all of you developers out there.. anyone to help??
I might be wrong, but i think that those files aren't deleted at all. You may have a FOUND or LOST dir on you micro SD card with files in it that are the same size of the lost Videos.
I think this problem occures when you turn the phone off while it searches for media files on the card.
Try making a .nomedia file on your SD Card root folder, Stock players might not find any Videos after you've done that but you can easily open them with a Filemanager (ES FileExplorer).
.nomedia helped me

maybe I do not understand your proposal, but the problem persists if I put video in the memory of the phone (not external microSD) adn I do not find the file with File Explorer, so I think it is lost...
I remember some people complaining about this when the EVO 4G first came out as well & for some it seemed to be bad SD cards but there were also a lot of firmware changes happening so unclear about the determined cause. This is troubling & would not like to still have to worry about this if I purchase the SGNote. Sounds like backup & keeping an eye on this is necessary. Has anyone emailed Samsung?
If I try to download PDF filed on to my SD card it will only allow Downloading onto the tablet. The SD card option is greyed out and says not enough room. I have formatted the card (65gb) in the tablet and there are no files on it but the problem persists.
This has never been a issue with my previous Samsung tablet nor my Samsung phones. Any suggestions to resolve this would be gratefully received. Thanks, KJR.
Hi! I expect you've already covered these bases, but:
Are you able to download other kinds of files directly to the MicroSD card?
Have you verified in a file manager that you can copy/move files from your internal storage to your MicroSD card?
What format is the MicroSD card?
Have you tried re-formatting it and re-verifying you can copy/move files to it?
It's always possible it's become corrupted, although I used to have more of a problem with that years ago.
Good luck, and let us know if you find a solution.
Thank you, I had tried the suggestions you offered. In the end I reformatted the SD Card again and shut down the tablet and restarted (again) and magically all was well! What I did that was different from before I do not know but all is working as it should. I can only assume that the card was corrupted some how and it took several reformats to sort it out..
Awesome! You're welcome. That kind of thing is one of the reasons why Google stopped supporting MicroSD cards on their phones (and other OEMs too), although I'd rather they still did as I mostly keep hundreds of gigabytes of music on them, so I normally don't have a lot of deleting and re-writing going on.
