Hi guys! I recently purchased HTC Touch Pro and A-data 8 Gb micro sdhc class 6. My laptop recognizes the card and I format it to FAT 32, so I think the card functions properly. The problem is that the device does not recognize tha card. I updated the ROM with the latest official release from the HTC site , and I was happy finally to see my card. The problem is that after restart, the card is invisible again. Can anyone help me? Maybe the storage card is faulty after all?
Possibly man, i am sure you have another card in there. Test it, if all is ok with it, then exchange your 8GB if possible....
The same thing happened to me; I don't know if it's faulty though. It is recognized at first, and of course I can transfer files from my laptop.

incompatability with SDHC
There is a known partition problem that can destroy your Micro SD (or any other size SD) if you every stuck it into an older reader that does not support newer sizes (any HC, or even standard SDs over 1GB).
Old readers can show your newer SD-family cards, and APEAR to work, until you fill them up past the size the old reader supports.
FOR EXAMPLE:
my old laptop has a built-in SD reader. Back when I used the HTC Wizard, I bought a 2GB miniSD, and dumped files to it from my laptop. Little did I know, the built-in reader only supports SD card up to 1GB. It worked back and forth many times untilI crossed the 1GB line (filled teh SD past 1GB). Then files disapeared or could not be accessed randomly. Kindgston told me it was a known issue of some older devices (readrer/camera/etc): the older device messes up the partition, which you CANNOT fix yourself: reformatting the messed0up partition does nothing. Ship back to manufacturer to fix. Now I'm careful to avoid the built-in SD reader
So I would advise: fill your microSD up aver half-way, and see if you desktop/ laptop has problems accessing files sampled from all over the chip. If it does, this is probabaly your problem.
I think it's just the card/brand itself. The HTC site lists card brands and sizes that have been tested and proven compatible, and the A-Data 8GB isn't one of them (although the 4GB SDHC is compatible). Sandisk is the only 8GB card that's supposedly compatible, and I've pretty much found that out since I had no luck with an A-Data 8GB but the Sandisk works flawlessly.
When I first copied files over to the A-Data and put it in the phone it didn't recognize it at first, but after a couple times of taking it out and putting it back in I was able to read and write to it in TotalCommander, but when I went to play music files the player froze up solid and the card was no longer readable until I did the in and out thing again. Bottom line was there was no way that card was going to work right in the phone, but as soon as I started using a Sandisk I never had a problem.
same thing happen to me
i think the phone will not recognise class 6 memory card
i will try sandisk 8gb class 2 when i got a chance

my touch pro two times had the same problem.The sandisk 8gb microsd HC (class2)collapsed.I can do nothing.My computer doesnt recognize the card.I cannot format it also.Does anybody can help me .What can i do.Thanks.
Card doesn't work in my Fuze. Oh well, I'll find another use for it.
Wierd.... I have two Adata 8GB cards, one works in the Touch Pro, the other doesn't. Both of them work in my Sharp EM One.
hi ive been looking like crazy to fix this problem but this seems to be the only post close to it.
i recently got a transcend class 6 4gb micro sdhc (listed on the website as compatible) for my htc fuze. the fuze (WM6.1) has been updated to the new rom version (5.xx).
i put it in nothing happens. it work fine on a computer (via usb reader). i have a kingston 2gb micro sd that works fine (but is used for another device). I really want to get this one to work so its not a waste.
so far ive tried reformatting to FAT, 64K and FAT32, 32K (via windows vista formatting).. none of which work.
really annoying, i dont have any other device that uses this card and i specifically checked this brand and type with the htc fuze and seems like everyone having no probs with it.
any other things i can try? is it a faulty card maybe (but it works through usb reader)?
I am having problems with the 8gb class6 cards as well. I have tried the Adata and the transcend cards. Here are some interesting things I have found.
1. The energyrom series of roms seems to be the only rom that lets me see the card.
2. I can't access the card until it the rom loads.
3. I can flash roms from the card even if I cant access them from the phone.
I did see there was a utility to help load SDHC cards called SDHC_WM6. I was never able to get it to load right but it indicates there is some kind of software driver that might help these cards.

I saw this utility too.. but its for windows mobile 6 not 6.1.. when 6 came out it had no support for sdhc so that thing came out, 6.1 should have support from the start
of course that didnt stop me from trying it anyway... doesnt work
I have a 8 gb Sandisk- Works flawlessly. I have a 16gb Adata( class 6) that worked for awhile then stopped. Put the 8gb- works, 16gb doesnt. tried different ROM- Still same effect. I has to be the Adata card. I am going to try a 16 gb Sandisk when my funds are available.
Oh- the 16 works fine in the microsd/SD card reader......
SDHC Class 6 works in HTC Jade
I have a jade and both cards that refuse to work with my fuze work just fine with the htc jade. I am not sure if it is a hardware problem or an issue with some software such as the sdhc.dll.
My thought is it is probably software. Why?
First the class 4 cards work just fine. In fact I am currently using a Dane-elec 16gb class4 card.
Secondly I am able to get intermittent class 6 cards access if I use one of the NRGY roms.
I have been using a 8gb Adata card that I bought from newegg, and it has been working flaslessly since november.
I recenlty bought another 8gb Adata from meritline, and this one does not get recognized by the fuze.
I then read in the above posts that somebody used Total Commander to copy files, so I opened up Total Commander, and the card is shown there.
I closed the the program, and now the File Explorer can see the card as well.
Maybe you can try the above steps and see if it works.
edit: actually, I have to plug in and out a few times for the phone to see the card...
I also have this issue with my transcend 8GB class 6 microSD.
HTC Touch Pro (T-Mobile), upgraded to EnergyRom. After upgrade, able to work perfectly. After few hours (the phone of course went into sleeping mode), then the phone was not able to read the card, so starting application installed in it makes the phone hangs.
After a while, the application (10-15 mins) was able to start, then everything is normal again. Very confusing.
At the moment I am assuming it's due to the sleeping mode, somehow the phone (software??) was not able to 'resume' reading from the micro SD.
Note: Previously somehow it clashed with the keyboard mapper software (pro_fuze_keyboard.ZIP), then I uninstalled it, then it was fine. Then I install another version of keyboard mapper (Shlomki TouchPro Keyboard in Fuze ROM.cab), then it's fine again, so I now stick with this mapper. However above issue is still happening.
I read some thread about changing some registry (pnp** set to 8196), so I set it. However still the problem persists.
I haven't tried other suggestion to tweak other registry values. Here's the thread on Hermes device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294324&page=29
I am wondering if it's really class 6 problem. Is there anybody having the same issue with 8GB class 4?
Note: my PC can read the card without any kind of problem.
I put the microSD into N95 also without any problem.
and i have the same problem to touch pro will not recognize my sdhc 4GB class 6, and i have no problems with 4GB class 4.
HI Bobby,
Were you able to get the Transcend 8gb Class 6 work on the HTC Fuze? I have the same problem. I upgraded the rom from the HTC site and I could see it. But later I plugged the card using the adapter to the laptop to copy some files and when I plug that back into the phone, it says "Not Installed". My happiness of not losing 20 buck was only for a couple of mins Any help is appriciated?
Can you give me download link for the energy rom which actually worked with the card?

I had somewhat of a similar issue, wondering if anyone else has seen this?
8 Gig no name brand MicroSD card in my TouchPro, all of a sudden I had less than 1 gig left, using Resco I couldn't see a thing taking up all that space but it was all gone.
I put the card in the transflash adapter and looked at it on my desktop Windows Explorer and saw the following folders in \Storage Card\Program Files
one directory named (*#LD*))#KDP|} with some text after it
another directory named (#*(Y%*(#(*#*(@#kKD* with some text after it.
NEITHER directory could be renamed, moved, deleted, or anything.
Formatting the card hung the format process.
Finally, I put the microSD card back in my TP and all of a sudden Resco Explorer saw these directories and so I just deleted the Storage Card\Program Files directory (no programs in it) and formatted the card and everything was fine.
Anyone else ever seen this?

I have a hermes and there i was using a 2 gb sandisk micro sd card for some 5 month...and recently i brought a trinity and then hence im using that micro sd card with a minisd adapter in the trinity...and for last 1 week it worked flawlessly...last night all of a sudden the minisd card disappeared...no sign of storage card like that there has no card inserted...although in the about window it says expention slot in use..but in memory window no storage card installed!! and resco explorer or any other program cant detect the card...
firstly i thought my card is currupted so i inserted it (the micro sd) in my hermes and it worked there without any glitch...even then i formatted it in both fat16 and fat32 in the pc with a card reader but my trinity cant detect the card....
then i thought my mini sd adapter is broken...so i tried the memory card with the minisd adapter in the nokia 6280 and its working there without any probs....and then i tried the 64mb minisd card that came with nokia 6280 in the trinity and WTF my trinity can detect this card and also working with it..that means the card slot of the trinity is ok...
after all of this experiment then i flashed 3 types of rom in the trinity to see if it can detect the card... one is the lsvw edition with gps...(that i was using for a week before this thing happened) then a original htc rom and the dopod australia rom that my set had when i purched it...but all this three rom has same result...can detect 64 mb card (which is nokia oem minisd) but cant detect the 2gb sacdisk (wich is a micro sd to mini sd converted)...
now do anyone have similar kind of problem...or this is a new issue...i dont have any other card to try in this moment.... just ordered a oem 4gb minisd...will get it in next week...
and finally to let you know that my micro sd card is perfectlly working both in hermes and in nokia with the mini sd adapter and i also did a rough test on it with a card reader in computer with the mini sd converted inserted...and no sign of a probs there...
any comment or suggestion would be helpfull...
and a final thing as i brought it in plan from 3 australuia..and im still in that 14 day period...do you thing if i go to a 3 store and told them the setuation will they replace my handset..??i have the dopod australia rom installed so i dont hink they will be able to detect that i had flased other roms...??

it does not support anything higher than a 1gb memory card, i have had this problem to with a 2gb card, i have now put a 1gb card and it see's it fine!

Sorry but I disagree. I have been using a standard Sandisk 2GB miniSD for 4 months now without any problem.
i got told it will only support a maximum of a 1gb mini sd?????
Using a 2 GB SanDisk without problems.
I've been using a standard (non SDHC) 4 gb card for 3 months with no major problems. Never had the card 'disappear' completely - only minor file corruption like losing a picture or a ringtone (but it always comes back on soft reset). Only have those types of issues occasionally anyway (like maybe 1 a week - device should be soft reset that often anyway!) Overall, very pleased with the performance of this device.
G'day,
Perhaps you could try formatting the card in the trinity using an OEM tool. My card (1GB Sandisk miniSD) "disappeared" a few weeks ago after using it OK for a month. I used a card reader in my PC to back it up then formatted it using Spb Pocket Plus in the trinity. I was then able to restore the data from the PC using activesync. Worked OK for me and no problems since.
Good luck.
minisd card problem
Dear Customer,
Thanks for your email regarding your P3600.? The issue you describe is something we are aware of and are currently in the process of rectifying.? It seems to be linked in some way to the latest updates to Windows Mobile 5 and as such we have also enlisted Microsoft's help in solving this.? It seems that the device is accessing the memory while it is in an idle state.
We are currently still investigating the matter with the help of our engineers in Taiwan, but in the meantime, to workaround the problem you can set the device to turn itself off after 1 minute in the power options, then let the device turn itself off instead of pressing the power button.
Once we have fixed the problem, I have no doubt it will be released in some sort of ROM update in the near future.
Thank you for your patience in this matter.
Hong Kong's D810 now officially shipped with a 2G miniSD as a gift
Ok,
I also asked HTC europe supoport about the specifications and got an answer per eMail that the P3600 supports mini SD up to 2GB and does NOT support 'ultra' or SD HC-versions.
So perhaps give it a try with a regular (and unfortunately slower) 2GB SD??
S.
A strange developement that i thought better to be share...firstly my 2 gb sandisk micro sd card (converted to mini sd with a adapter) still doesnt work after updating to latest dopod rom and to latest aku 3.3.1 htc rom...setting>memory still says not installed...but if i boot into bootloaded mode and use the trinming.nbh trick to flash my trinity with a nbh file..it does detect the sd card instantly and start flashing without any problem..so it also prove that the sd card slot is ok and it also detect the card in hardware level but it cant recognise in software part...its strange as the same card worked for the 1st 1 week after i brought the d810..!!!!
now does anyone one have more ideas??
and hopefully im getting my topram 4gb card in a days or 2 to test more furthur...in this mean time im really frustated for not able to use tomtom as no space to keep the maps....

Have you reformatted the card using a card reader with XP?
Now...I have maintained many times that my TopRam 4gb works just fine in my Trinity while many others have complained about problems with cards from many different manufacturers, both 2gb and 4gb cards. It may not be just a coincidence that mine has no problems. I always do the WM5 performance tweaks on my devices and yesterday I saw in the Hermes Wiki a reference to a known problem with the storage buffer settings. The fix that it recommends is one of the settings that I always change with my performance tweaks. It cetainly won't hurt, and for all of those people that are constantly complaining about their miniSD cards, maybe you should try it! The other performance tweaks might also help.
Quote from the Hermes Wiki:
Missing/Corrupt SD Card?
This mod seems to make the SD Card more stable, and avoids the problems encountered by some members where the SD Card either disappears or the card 'loses' information until it's ejected then re-inserted.
There are two issues to this. One is that SD Cards that are made in Taiwan seem to have more problems than Japan made cards. Kingston SD Cards are made in Japan, so, they are a relatively good bet. Sandisk and Crucial are made in Taiwan, so seems to have more problems. The second issue is the registry; the default values are just too low.
See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294324
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]"PNPUnloadDelay" = dword:8196
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]"PNPWaitIODelay" = dword:8196
Yeap i tried that performance tweak in both way increased it to 8196 and also decreased it to 1500 nothing helped..
and sure i did format it with two diffrent card reader and also using some other tools like panasonic sd card formater or hp formatting tools...and just a hour ago i tried pertitioning it into two part 1gb/1gb hermes do recognise the card so do the pc in 2 partition mode but trinity cant detect it even now...
and finally as i told you my trinity detect the 64 mb nokia oem minisd card so i also tried partitioning my micro sd into a single 64 partition to find out if it has something to do with the capacity but same result there...
so im bit of confused here...really confused..

i put this values in HTC P3600.... still not regonized. i try whith 8196 but nothing apenned too.....
in anytime, if i put my miniSD in the QTEK 9100, he work's whith no problem....

hi, pls cd u link the other tweaks u reccommend?
Ordered a Sandisk 2GB Ultra Mini SD card earlier today..
After reading this perhaps a 1GB would've been a safer bet... Still, worth a try. Would prefer to have the complete EU maps on one card.
so im excited to get a 8gb card for my kaiser,so i pop it in and reset...goto memory>storage card NOTHING!pop it out put it in my pc and invalid process!!!WTF?!?!?!help please
Have you tried to format the card from your PC. If that doesn't work you might have a bad card. Sucks but it does happen sometimes.
Also, please remember that these portable handsets are usually not NTFS file format compatible. Be sure when you are formatting that the card is in FAT or FAT32 mode, with default block sizes and allocation.
Also, it does sound to me that your card is defective. I have never had to "format" any flash cards I have ever bought before using them, except a couple old CF cards for my SLR camera.
I got a sandisk 8gb microsdhc myself - and it works great...
(except when one morning I wake up and find out that all the data's gone, and had to recover it with GetDataBack)
I'm no SDHC expert (I've only had 1 for 2 weeks) but I ran into some problems myself...
1) If you're running Win XP on your desktop, you'll need to download the hotfix for SDHC support here (I don't use Vista so I'm not sure if it supports SDHC natively)
2) The card reader I have connected to my PC wouldn't read SDHC cards but the USB reader that came with my SanDisk 8GB MicroSDHC card does work. Make sure the adapter you're using to connect to the PC supports SDHC.
3) Sounds stupid but make sure you're pushing the card all the way into your phone. You should feel some spring pressure and then hear a 'click' as it locks into place. You push it in and it springs out to remove it. I have pretty big fingers and I didn't insert mine all the way the first time. I still have to use something small (the back end of the stylus) to fully insert my SDHC card.
---OR---
You may have a faulty card
mine work!!

I have just copied all of the contents of my 4gb card onto a new 8gb card, no problems so far, but when I put it back into my Kaiser, the volume only shows as a 4 gb, with 1 gb free, which are he details of the old card, any help greatly appreciated
thanks

hey ya'll...
considering purchasing an 8gb memory card for my htc herald, have any of you tried this sucessfully??? the storage memory for the internal memory is not that great as you know and even things that you store in the memory card take up shortcut room in memory...what do you think?? are any of you running the phone on 4 GB memory stick? thanks ...
I have no problems running a cheap 8gb micro-sd from a no-name brand in my HTC P4350,
However, mine does feel a bit slower (yes its possible), since the upgrade from a 2gb card.
Ive been using a 8GB for about 6 months now and havent had ANYproblems with it. I actually had more problems with my old 1GB. It runs perfect!
i have the 8 gb card from amazon and i used it in my shadow and now my wing, its awesome, i keep all my phone supplies there and music, movies, vids, ebooks...keeps on going, lol its worth it, will be looking into the 16 gb soon just to be able to have an even bigger collection for on the go
I've got an 8gig Sandisk SDHC in my wing. No worries at all.
I've got an 8gig Sandisk SDHC in my HTC P4350. And it work´s nice with movies and music.
i've been using a 8gb card from kingston, don't pack it too full or else your phone will lag, i use it for mostly music and i find that when i fill it up all the way it gets a little corrupted
looking @ buy.com for the 16gb cards, 40 bucks...just needs to drop a little moer....
i got a sandisk 8gb loaded with movies, mp3s, ebooks basically everything and it runs smooth
yep..8gb is fine. slower than my 4gb, but not too bad

now using 16gb, no lag. works great
ok..sorry for disturbing the hype, but I need to post this:
I upgraded from 1 to 2 GB and now to 8gb..since then I encoutered issues:
First I copy and pasted everything from my 2gb card onto my 8gb SDHC class 2 card and everything run smoothly..but after some days I realised that all my pivtures I took were gone..than I saw that all folder were weired named--re-named...BUT it changed again and besides that the pixx were gone, all run ok again..
but now..since Yesterday..it is the same..folders re-named..pixx gone and my display says please insert storage-card, but it is included AND I can see the content via file explorer or active sync...its the same with the 2gb card..displays shows the "please insert screen" but I can access via onboard file explorer (fyi all folders are ok..not renamed on the 2gb card)
My idea is, that my simply copy and paste from 2gb to 8gb card was not the proper way to do it..or??
Can someone suggest how to manage this? I have no card reader and I havent found a way to format the 8gb card..to do the copy paste or whatever again..
Any ideas are appreciated!
I have 8, 8gb cards filled and use everyone of them and no problem at all
Did you try right-clicking on the storage card and re-formating it to deault thats what i had to do when i had that problem and havent had a problem since if that doesnt work then you will need to find a cheap usb card reader online....... and if that doesnt help let me know and i might have another solution to help you re-format it
hey phaze, right click within active sync does not allow "format" ..so i tought as well of the card reader thing..or where could I be able to use right click-format option?
do sdhc is correct to use for htc 4350? I hear dform mycard supplier that only sd is usable? so is that my mistake?
Hello
Maybe someone can help me:
I use my diamond 2 to listen music. My micro sd card is transcend 8 go class 6.
The problem stills the same with many rom, WM 61 or 65...
I never knew that problem with my diamond 1.
So the problem is that the SD Card "disappear" after few second of music playing. Its like there's no card in the phone. To recover it, I have to open the battery cover, extract and input the card (or soft reset).
I ll try another sd card tomorrow, but I’m pretty sure of the quality of my transcend (which was formatted before first use of course).
Do you think I have to send back to seller ?
thanks a lot !

Hello
The problem was due to a defective micro sd ( counterfeit ?) (except the TD2 doesnt support class6 sd ?)

I have the same problem too.
I have the transcend 8 Go Class6. So I will try to change my sdcard and inform you if my problem is solved.
you may also try installing Advanced config tool that can be found here on the xda forum.
Use this program to increase the PNP wait I/O delay
This may help with your dissaperaing SD card

NO NO NO
it wasnt a counterfeit.
I bought a new micro sd silicon power 8 Go class 6, and the problem still the same. The card dissapears 30 sec after the beginning of mp3 playing.
I can only use my kingston 4 Go class 4 to work.
I tried to increase the PNP delay to 2500 but nothing change.
I think again of the class of the card to be responsible ...

I have a similar problem - only that it happens on occasions. Can't say what exactly triggers this. I contacted HTC tech support, I suggest you do the same.
If I get an answer i'll post back.
Which size of MicroSd does the TD2 support?
Until 8Gb or 16Gb?
Is there even a limit of speed-class?
If all you guys have problems with that card it would be interesting to try the same card of the same brand and size but of class 4 so we could check if the problem is actually that one (I think it could be solved through some software fixing/updating)!
I have an 8GB Sandisk MicroSD card, and it starting acting wonky a few weeks ago. I just upgraded to HTCs new official WWE ROM that was posted last week, and I'm still having the problem, but more often now. after retsart or removing and reinserting the SD card, it appears, then, more often than not, it disappears and I can't access it. Has anyone figured out a fix for this?

sandisk 16 GB class 2 here...and it work without any troubles....
unfortunately we didn't find fix for the moment....
which class is ur sd please ? 2 ? 4 ? 6 ?
I have a class 4 Kingstone and has always worked well with all the ROMs that I've installed
Mine is SanDisk 4 GB Class 2. Today after copying of a new TOPAIMG to the card, it disappeared. It is impossible to see it even on my PC card reader. I have had no problems until today. I think my problem is faulty cd card. Ordered a new one Transcend 8 GB Class 6. But after I read this thread I'm so confused.

Is there a way to see the speed-class through the software?
I have a similar problem only it dessapears on random times. I use an 8GB class4 sd card
8GB Sandisk Mobile Ultra (class 6) here - no problems at all.
4gb Sandisk 2class - no problems, but i can't use rom flashing from SD card - bootloader doesn't see the image

toshiba class 4 , 8g , works fine
This week my second Sandisk 16Gb class 2 SDHC started behaving erroneously. I sent the first one back to SanDisk to have it replaced, but as the second disk shows the same problem I'm thinking something in the Diamond2 must be the cause of the problem.
The problem: the storage card would suddenly disappear from the file explorer. Any applications using the disk would stop and the WM6 system would create another 'Storage card' directory on the internal memory.
With the first disk the DCIM directory was the problem. Opening that directory with the file explorer would crash the disk every time. With the second disk the problem seems to be in the music directory. I can't browse into that directory without seeing the card disappear again. The same thing happens in Vista when I insert the card using the USB adapter.
I somehow suspect that TF3D has something to do with it, because the album tab uses the first directory and the music tab the second one. TF3D is the link between them.
TF3D runs all the time and I can imagine that at some point it was accessing the card while I disconnected the Diamond2 from Activesync, or when the battery ran flat. Anyhow, something went wrong with the file system integrity on both cards.
While at first the disks would mount on restarts, and would be readable using the USB adapter, after a couple of reformatting attempts the first disk turned out to be 100% unreadable from mobile as well as PC. The second one is still mounting but none of the approaches seem to get it back on track. No matter what I try I can't delete the faulty music directory, and as soon as any formatting tool starts indexing before format the disk disappears again. I'm afraid it's on the same route to demise as the first one.
I have installed the total commander on my sd card and all of a sudden my card stop reading.i restart the system and then got the message to format the card in order to read it. i did but still card was not reading. i inserted the card in my pc but still the card was not reading. i bring my hd2 to factory settings and then also not reading the card. then i again format the card but of no use. any help from anyone.
same here
i got the same problem recently. my 8gb sdhc stopped working. whenever i insert the card in my hd2 it says the card needs to be formatted before use. when format it says formatted successfully but the sdhc does not show anywhere as if there is no memory card in the hd2. computer also does not detect the card. it is the stock 8gb sandisk sdhc supplied by htc. only been using it for 1 week. anyone else has got this problem? do you know what may has caused this? any help will be appreciated. thanks!
Same problem here,
my (HTC supplied) 8gb SanDisk SDHC card stopped working after about 3 weeks use.. I got "do you want to format the card to make it readable.."
Tried different phone (HTC Kaiser), cardreaders on 2 different laptops, winxp/win7/debian/knoppix even canon photocam.. Several restore programs/format programs.. Even tried putting it in the refrigerator over night..
All no luck.. I gave up! (now missing some nice vids from my son..)
sync my SD card almost daily now..

now many user are getting this problem. i don't know if this problem is with micro sd supplied by htc or the phone itself damaging memory card. what is weird is that it seems only the memory card sandisk 8gb supplied by htc seems to be concerned. i just hope after buying another card it does not get damaged too.
HINT
someone told me to put the card in the digital camera and try formatting the card over there. digital cameras have their own format scheme, but i don't have digital camera........its worth trying it...........people called digi gurus told me about that...........
Another card down for htc hd2
I brought a new card 4gb sandisk micro sd. its gone showing me the same message which i was getting it with my 8 gb card "format the card in order to read it" what is the problem is this a problem with the phone or with the card. it is unbelievable that my new card is also showing the same message. what is going on.
I want to know what is the problem, problem with the phone or with the micro sd card.
this is the second card which got damaged......
exact message """" DO YOU WANT TO FORMAT THIS STORAGE CARD TO MAKE IT READABLE? THIS WILL PERMANENTLY DELETE ANY FILES ON THE CARD. PRESSED YES . THIS STORAGE CARD HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY FORMATTED. """
NOW IF WE SEE UNDER SETTINGS SD CARD AND PHONE STORAGE NO SD CARD IS SHOWING OVER THERE.
what is the reason behind it??????????????????
I HAVE JUST TAKEN OUT THE USB FROM THE CHARGER NOT FROM THE COMPUTER AS IT IS CHARGED BY THE USB CABLE.
I am still struggling with the first card warranty from the HTC and now my second card with same message is gone down.

i have a digital camera panasonic dmc-fz28. i did try to format the card with the camera. but this doesn't work. you said you got another card damaged by the phone. i think the problem is with the phone itself then. send the phone to your local dealer for repair and see what they say.
My 1 year old 8GB Sandisk microsd corrupted second time since 2 weeks. It happend after running OPERA 10 installed on SD. My HD2 is running on Energy ROM.

Tried that too.. no luck.. (Canon powershot A430)
Now using an older (got it with my HTC Wizard) sandisk 8gb, working without probs for over a month now.. (backing up a lot though..)
Ok i am having the same issue with my class 10 16GB Kingston. All of a sudden after syncing the memory card failed. The phone recognised another class 2 4GB sandisk and works fine. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PHONE. and one which has set me back £70 (Not good at all) and is something that only seem to have happened since the intorduction of the 1.66 rom for me
I had similar problem but there wasn't any message, once I go to photo album the card won't be read and all programs from card can't be run, finally took out all the videos/photos and now is fine, gotta be some software glitch.
happened to me also..i lost photos that i wasnt able to back up yet..do i need to buy a new sd card then? this is really frustrating :,(
I got the same problem with my 8Gb Sandisk SD card. after that i installed another 8gb card (from my nokia 5800) on my phone & its been a month & working fine. I think it happened to me after I installed firefox's fennec alpha on my sd card.
Maybe it has something to do with the CLASS of mSD.
When I received my HD2 I bought a 16GB SanDisk mSD from Amazon, installed it and worked fine for half a year. Just by chance it was a CLASS 2 as I looked up now beeing very concerned by this thread. Now I bought the 32GB mSD from SanDisk (also CLASS 2), copied the contents from 16GB card to 32 GB card and it works flawless.
Now let´s check: was there any one with a bricked CLASS 2 mSD ? Or only mSDs of higher class bricked ?
If so we have to aks some hardware-specialists here wether a class 4 or higher card gets bricked because of faster data throughput since these cards seem to be bricked PERMANENTLY ? There could be several physical reasons: Voltage, Ampere, Controller etc.
I got a bricked 32GB class 2 Sandisk card. It was fresh out of the box and I got an RMA from Sandisk. Awaiting for replacement.
I thought it was just a faulty card off the production line, since my stock 2GB Sandisk card still works fine. It shouldn't have been the phone, should it?
Need help

I have already lost two micro sd cards one 8gb which I got with the phone and one 4gb which i brought it. Now I am using Nextar card 4gb. it seems to be fine till now, is there any problem with the scan disk cards?
Is this a reliable gadget after all...???

Ok, now I am pissed. My situation is almost identical as yours - including the loss of my son´s new vids and pics... - and I have the HD2 for almost 2 months now.
Suddenly the 8Gb SDHC stock card just stopped working. It came from nowhere. I found it when I tried to watch a video and the player was not showing it. Then I got into file manager and the storage card was missing... after a soft reset, the appaling msg appeared: "Do you want to format this storage card to make it readable? This will permanently delete any files on the card."
What I did recently: installed uZardWebP and MS-NetC3.5 yesterday. But the SDHC access was alright after that.
I am surprised about how many ppl have been at the same situation.
What the heck is going on? Do you guys know if HTC has ever said something about the subject?
If I cannot recover the content of this card, it will be the first and the last HTC unit I will ever get my hands on. Four years using a Sony Ericsson and a Nokia unit with a SD card and no problems whatsoever.
Occurrence could be considered usual if there weren´t so many incidents like mine.
If someone has ANY idea about recovering the card data I would be very grateful. (although I am hopeless after some reading... ...)
Regards!
HTC Leo (HD2) / ROM 1.66.707.1 (76641) WWE / Radio 2.07.51.22_2 / Manila 2.5.19211619.0 - All stock - device´s never been flashed.
I have lost 2 cards. I haven't changed the rom.
Both sandisk I blamed ebay.
Maybe I shouldn't.
Andrew u.k.: Agreed. Maybe you really shouldn't blame ebay.
So far my card recovery was unsuccessful.
At least I won't need to read a lot to learn how to burn a new ROM as long as I won't use this "Card killer" as a serious gadget after all.
most the time a hard reset fixes it...better then loosing valuable sd info over settting up phone again(just happened to me after loading lots of apps on sd didnt read any sd hard reset and its all normal)
