My SD card (Transcend) goes 'missing' once in a while. and the files seems to get corrupt even when I am copying on my WinXP PC (using an SD card reader).
Searching the web I found this Panasonic SD card formatter which claims to format your SD card to be more 'SD compliant' compared to a windows format. http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.html
Eager to solve my SD problem, I went a head and download this software and perform a format on my SD card. To my horror, after formating, my SD card is only recognized as 1Gb!! Maybe it's only meant to format certain SD card brands, clearly mine is not the case.
If anyone is having this problem, you can download this software to fix your 2Gb SD Card back http://www.ritekusa.com/jsp/SD_Cards_Download.jsp
It does fix my SD card and give me back 2Gb of space. Hopefully after formating it with Pocket Mechanic will make it more compatible with my Dopod D810 and not make my files go corrupt.
Help,
After i flashed my KAISER i have a problem. The sd card is not recognised anymore. Is there a solution for this problem?
I hope so, otherwise i have a brick
Storage card problem
I always used a 4 gig card, just tried an 512 mb card, and that one was recognised. Strange isn't it?
First, which method did you use to flash your new ROM?
If you used the USB method to flash your new ROM, did you remove your SD card during the flash process?
If you used the SD card method to flash your new ROM, did you do a hard reset with your SD card inserted?
Second, do you have an SD card reader for your computer? I would probably try to verify that the file system and data are intact on your SD card. If you have an SD card reader, you can also use it to reformat your card.
If none of this is helpful, provide some more information to fill in the gap between your microSD card working properly and not showing up on your phone.
Re
I flashed to TPCV5.1 full today. No sd in my phone.
My cars reader in the computer doesn't recognise the sd card either.
Strange thing is , when i use an other 4 gig sd card, the phone still doesn't recognise it, my card reader on my computer does, so why not on my phone.
I had a 2 gig sd card, and put all the data again on it, and it's working.
Stilli have a problem that my phone won't recognise a 4 gig sd card.
So far my story.
Does seem odd. What file system is your 4GB card formatted with? If it shows up as "RAW" or anything, I would definately format it to FAT32.
Edit: I was referring to your "other" 4GB card. I don't think I have any advice for the original one.
I just got a new SD card.
After putting it in my phone, android said it looked corrupted. Formatting didn't solve this.
I rebooted into recovery and partitioned my SD card.
After that, the SD card worked just fine, but it's slow.
Only 1.9 MB/s while it's a class 6 SD card.
Is there anything I can do to speed up the SD card, maybe a different way of partitioning it?
there isnt a way to really speed up the card. it might just be a bad card. try formatting it on your pc or mac as FAT32. results will vary with the speeds.
sd card errors i format the sd card and i still getting the sd card errors please help.......
I have just installed the official CM10 nightly from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p990
First of all used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975274
Took me a while to find the external sd card, it is listed as storage/sdcard1 but I can't access any internal sd card, I assumed it would be listed as storage/sdcard0 but clicking that just gives me an empty folder.
When I attach the phone to the PC only the external sd card shows up. CWM-recovery can't mount the sd card either (I have tried with CWM6 and CWM5).
I tried mounting the sd card from "settings-device-storage" and it starts to do it and then stops.
I could maybe live with this but I use Sygic for a satnav and that is telling me there is no sd card present, so I can't use it.

it's ok now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34086129&postcount=30
