My Mini SD card doesnt seem working on my phone,but it works on my friends phone !What could be the possible problem ?
sdcard
same thing has happened to me seems to happen when battery runs low i had to do a soft reset about 5 times in a row before phone will se the card
I bought a 16gb class 6 sd card, put it in the phone and did everything required to get the card to work. So the card was currently working I installed all the apps I wanted synced the phone with zune and had everything just the way I wanted it. I decided that I would reboot the phone (just power off so it says "good bye" and then power back on) and when I can back to the home screen everything was gone, and I mean everything. All my contacts, apps, music, was all set back to default. I checked the memory and it said that I had a total of about 15mb and about 10mb free. After some trouble shooting I found that it has an issue with rebooting with the memory card since I can reboot without the card and I keep all my settings. I am getting another card to try and see if its an issue with the card or the phone. I was wondering if anyone else has this issue?
after you insert the memory card, perform the format reset (hold down camera button, power button, and volume down). after the format is complete, power on the phone, go to settings and reset the phone from there. WP7 should recognize the additional memory now
I have done that twice already. I was testing some ideas on the issue. I insert the card. hold down vol, camera and power on. format the device and when i get to the main screen check the memory I have 22gb or so free. I import my contacts from sim. I power off the phone and power back on and its back to default, no contacts check memory and i have about 15mb of space with about 10mb free. I searched around online and others are having this issue but they have not found a single source of the problem. some work others don't, there was a mention that there will be an update from microsoft to fix the issue.... but i was not able to find anything on that.
I guess thats why the guy at ATT told me to be careful with putting in an sd card. I'm using an 8 gb class 4 micro sdhc from sandisk without any problems
That happend to me this morning, I had a 16GB Class 2 I think.. works fine in my nexus. the phone just went beserk.. rebooted a few times then the last time it rebooted, it lost all my settings and music and stuff.
I wonder if 16GB is too big? I'm gonna go a few days with out any card in it.. to make sure its not something else wrong with the unit or the OS
sd card prob
i talked to att yesterday and they said the phone isnt ready to accept an sd card that there will be a patch to fix the problem in the upcoming weeks. the phone is able to hold a 32 gig card but no card will work they said til the patch is released
Yea I'm running without the SD in my phone. I will just make sure to keep it backed up for when we can use SD cards and reboot.
Here's a thread from Engadget that verifies that those of use who have seen issues aren't crazy

Thanks, Im running without the card and it works perfectly, I hope the patch comes soon i would like to put some movies on it.
Here is a good article on it from Paul Thurrott:
windowsphonesecrets.com/2010/11/06/samsung-focus-microsd/
Samsung said this in their press release Nov 4th:
- Memory:
- 8GB internal storage memory
- External microSD™ memory card slot up to 32 GB (class 2 (or higher) microSD card, card sold separately)

Also this was posted in another thread. Too bad there are currently 3 or 4 threads on this issue. Microsoft has a KB on this now:

hi, I have bought a Class 10 Micro SD card for my milestone 2 today.
But I found the screen will running out after locking from both button and time out. And the system will run slow down after boot up immediately. Anyone have the same situation and I would like to know is not supporting 16GB card, or brand (A-data), or Class 10 (too fast??).
Thank you and sorry for my English...
I have a 32GB class 2 card (Sandisk). Much as with yours, the system runs slowly for a brief time after startup (an icon displays in the status bar displays saying that the SD card is being prepared during this time). I think it's normal, though if it continues for more than about 30 seconds I'd say there might be a problem...
My screen timeouts etc are normal. Does this only happen when your MicroSD is inserted?
yes, this problem only takes place when I put the Class 10 card into the phone.
The blank screen shows up after once the screen locked.
It makes me frustrated as I bought the card and hope I can enjoy it.
But the error checking is super fast although I got 4GB small files inside.
Update: When I put the blank card in, it seems works fine...
An 16gb transcend class6 microsdhc card works on my phone not correctly. If the system write on the sdcard, the system hangs and work very slow. An class4 card from sandisk works very fine.

Exactly the same problem here. I bought a 16GB Transcend Class 6 card and I have problems all the time. The phone hangs and only battery pull helps. Titanium /Backup is slow and hags, etc., etc.
hey bros, I found the issue may be caused by the card slot. The card is working fine on the phone.

What do you mean?
Hey guys,
i've had the same problem with my Milestone 2.
I think i found a fix :
Simply format the sd card while in your phone with the built in "format" found in "settings".
!Dont! format the sd card with your PC !
Did that with mine and my phone is running perfectly now.

I thought about it. I am going to try it too.
I just formatted the card in my phone and put the data back on.
I did a quick test - tried backing up my stuff in TiB. No luck it still hang like it did before.
thank
I was to help this discussion ... I had the problem with a memory of 32 GB then decided to go to 16 gb and all perfect ...!
my card is working now suddenly on one day I put it back on the phone to test again.
I think this problem is caused by the design of the card slot which may lead incorrect touch of the contact surface between phone and card.
Hi, sorry for ressurecting this thread, but I believe I found a solution:
Put your high class cards on the phone and boot it up. On rootexplorer, go to /sys/device/virtual/dbi/179:0 and /sys/device/virtual/dbi/179:32, longpress read_ahead_kb and choose edit as text file. You'll see a value of 128. Change to 1024. Save and exit. Test if your cards are still missbehaving. I saw it on a EVO tutorial, tried here and my 16gb class 10 card worked normally. The only problem is that you have to do it every time your phone reboots.

Got same problem here with a class 2 16 gb
Same issue but I have used a 32gb class 4 and it was fine. My 32gb broke and I put back in the 8gb class 4. Its fine too! I just bought a 16gb Adata class 10 and its giving me the same problems as you guys but its only when i use more than 3 gb of information. So I think the phone cant handle class 10 cards
If problems starts when you use more than xxxx GB, maybe it´s a fake capacity card.
Make sure to check the SD on pc with h2test to see if it´s fake or not.
No it's not. M2 just doesn't get along with class 6+ cards =/

Refer to my thread.
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA Premium App
Thats not true. Im using class 6 and class 10, and both work perfectly.
I just got this thing and it just sits there with white screen and "HTC" logo. Does this thing take a long time to fire up?
I did the button hard reset but it didn't do anything. Is there anything else i can try to get it to work?
Blah, finally found something:
Swapped out the 16GB card for a 4GB SD Card and now the phone works...HTC pisses me off with their quirks sometimes!!!!
So what is teh deal? Crappy SD cards or do they just get corrupt?
I had a similar problem and had to perform hard reset which reformatted the SD card and all was well - for a while. After it happened again a few months later, I swapped out the original card for a new 32 GB SanDisk Class 4 card and it hasn't missed a beat since.
Dunno. My Surround is going on 15 months old and I actively use it at least 4-6 hours per day (1 to 1.5 full charges per day) and no problem with the stock SD card. Have about 7GB free space available.
Had a couple spontaneous soft resets prior to Mango, and a few times a battery pull were required to wake the phone up. But aside from that, no problems whatsoever.
Hey, I jus bought a "new" HTC surround from amazon, and I'm having an issue, the phone isn't going past the HTC logo, it just goes to the HTC Logo, vibrates, then shuts down, when i plug it in, it does the same thing, in a loop, can someone plz plz plz help me, since I have no warranty.
You will probably have to replace the SD Card. Make sure to use a Windows Phone compatible card, or at least stick with name brand like Sandisk.
Is it normal for "new" htc surround phones to come with a defective SD card ?

It shouldn't be normal for new devices, but it is a common problem with this particular phone.
I would try to get it exchanged.
If you can't do that then I would try swapping in a different SD Card. It's actually pretty easy to get it apart, here is a guide video about it:

Sorry, forgot about this. I'd stick with SanDisk.
I have had success with SanDisk Class 4. I currently have a 32 GB one in my Surround and it runs very well.
Hi All,
I've had a Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) for 2+ years and am still really happy with it... Except recently i've had issue with the SD card being reported as being removed unexpectedly - and of course it hasn't been physically removed or disturbed at all. The phone is running Android 5 Lollipop. The SD cards are all Sandisk Ultra Class 10's and are 32 and 64GB. I've tried non Class 10 cards and the phone behaves the same.
The contacts of the cards have been cleaned - the phone contacts are shielded so have not been touched.
I've tried formatting in several ways: by the phone, by a PC using NTFS, FAT32 & exFAT but it makes no difference - the SD cards are still very flaky and unreliable.
I'm now considering Factory Resetting the phone to see if that helps. Again, up till 3 months ago the SD had been fine and without issue.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Many thanks.

2 things com to my mind. Maybe a problem with your sd card slot or maybe chinese cheap knock off sd cards. But i think its most probably the first one, in which case you have to have the slot changed or repaired in a service center.
