MDA - General Topics

Hello
I have the T-mobile MDA
and I recently changed my sd card to a 1GB from a 512Mb
it was working fine (almost 3mon or so) and all of sudden
about 2 days ago my sd card erased on it's own I didn't touch
nothing it just wiped out. So I synced the songs through
windows media player 11. The same thing happened yesterday
and now it's not even recognizing the sd card. This is a
Kingston 1GB brand new. Please help

do a search in the wallaby forum for erased and SD
it's a known issue with some roms

i'm also interested in knowing the quality and reliability of this card
TOPRAM minisd 4GB
any idea??
I'm using a standard mini 4GB sd - no probs at all.
Filled it up with about 3GB of media and prog files so far.
Formated it using Pocket Mechanic.
Takes an age to defrag
how long have all of you had the 4GB mini sd cards? i have heard of people having them working for a couple of months but they die after a few months.
thanks
I need to know too
Interested in topram as it seems to have the best rep
Didn't work for me :-(
I bought a TwinMOS 4 GB MiniSD HC Class 2
Can't get it to work at all...
If anyone else has a 4 GB MiniSD working can you post the details of it? Cheers!
I am using two 4GB TOPRAM mini SD since one week ago and I haven't had any problems. I bought them in ebay to Kofkl and Erkirkland. Do not buy to Mobilemem (not reliable Supplier).
well i had a 2gb right now topram, kind of died i believe, the computer seems to see something but just hangs and then says i either dont have a device in, or get an I/O device error i believe :/
but i was really looking into the 4gb topram one, but also want to know who had one for over a few months working still as some people reported them to not work after a while??
and were are the other manufactures that have 4gb NONE sdhc :/ MiniSD

I'm glad to hear that your SDHC card is working well. What rom version are you running and have you done any tweaks to your device? Also, do you use the Windows Media Player on your Trinity? I'm just trying to track down where the problems could come from. Thanks.
I bought a 4Gb mini SD from mobymemory. It came with a nice little adaptor/keyring too.
Unfortunately it kept corrupting data from day 1. Files and folders being deleted, then named with strange characters.
To give mobymemory credit they got me an RMA very quickly and refunded me within a week.
In the end I went for a 1Gb card from Crucial (as was in a desperate rush). £10 with special next day delivery. Wanted 2Gb but they weren't in stock that day.
MobyMemory's 4GB miniSD is working fine with mUn's latest WM6 ROM(2.0.0.SE), filled it up with music and no problem so far(some user reported that MM's 4gb card worked nice until it was filled with more that 2GB of data, so, I decided to test that with mUn's ROM).
With a previous WM5 & LVSW WM6 rom(2.0.0.3) I had a few issues, a couple of 100% percent data loss events lol, it hapened whenever I stressed the card, i.e. listening to music while playing a game installed on the card, power off the device while still playing the game( or auto power off if the music was paused ) and powering the device on again.
My MiniSD 4GB memory card worked fine for only one month! After that My trinity stacked and had to to soft reset wich time I pushed the start menu, all this with the old ROM without GPS.
I've inserted in a card reader, and copied everything to a folder in the host pc, formated the 4gb card copied again everything to the card, udated the ROM and is workig very fine so far, until when????
Kingston doesn't work - SPV does not see it at all.
Sandisk MiniSDHC
I'm using a Sandisk 4 GB miniSDHC Card for about 2 weeks now without any problems.

Defragmenting Memory Cards is completely useless There is no Harddisk Head running around on your SD Card, so defragmenting is useless. And: SD Cards only have a limited count of read/write cycles which will be reduced by defragmenting them.

8Gb Micro SD Issues

Hello all, I recently upgraded to the ATT Fuze and then installed an AData 8 Gb MicroSD card. The issue is sometimes the phone will not detect the files in the card. So if I restart my phone everything works fine and the phone sees all files in the SD card with 80 mb used. If I restart again the phone takes a long time to view memory of the storage card and then shows nearly the entire 8 gb used. File explorer show the folders but none of the files in the SD card.
If I remove the MIcro sd card and plug it directly into my laptop then it shows the actual space use and al the files correctly.
Anyone see this issue or how to resolve it. I have already replaced the phone once. SD card works perfectly when used in a laptop.
IS THIS A PROLEMWITH THE PHONE OR THE SD card.
Please help
Why don't you try re-formatting the memory card?
If you've replaced the phone and you're still having the problem, I'd say it's the card.
I use a SanDisk 16GB MicroSD in my Fuze and have never had any problems with it.
I have reformatted the card multiple times using both vista and Xp and still the same results. The card works just fine on my laptop. When I put the card in my phone it does not detect the card till I soft reset the phone. After it comes up, the phone will see the card but show space used as the entire 8 gb even if the card is empty.
I have ordered a new Kingston 8 gb card. Hopefully that will work
Sometimes there are compatibility issues with certain cards. I use a Sandisk 8gb card and it works well. TP reads and writes quickly to it. Try this other card you ordered then adise results here. Good luck.
HTC recommends Sandisk.
I use sandisk 8 Gb Micro SHDC Mobile Ultra with the Tyynt sdtune up cab!
Suggestion
Format the card sell it and buy a real sandisk ;-)
Yea! will try the Kingston. What is the sdtune up cab file. I could not find such a file.
I too
Hi, i have the same issue with same A-DATA SDHC 8GB Class 6. On PC everything is ok, but when i put it in TP (no branded) PDA didn't recognize it. I reformat it 10+ times, same. I make some experiments and realize that when on the card i have to 2GB files work fine, but when i exceed that limit the card stops to mount in file system of TP. I fill the card to max with some stuffs and place an image file, then try to flash the phone with it, the strane is that the phone is flashing ok, but after flash and hard reset the card didn't mount at all. If i change the image file i can flash again, but in file system i haven't card. Very strange. I use few roms ot NRZ28. Do you think that the problem is in any dll in rom or the problem is in card. Becouse bootloader see and use card, but the system didn't.
p.s. Sorry for bad english.
My Kingston SD card works. The only difference I can see between the two is that the AData is a class 6 while the Kingston is a class 4.
maybe the Fuze has an issue with class 6 cards?
I am using the ADATA 8G MicroSDHC memory card without any problem for my HTC Fuze. This is a Class 6 card from Newegg.
Yea, I had bought the exact same one! Dunno why it didnt work for me!
i am using an 8GB Adata microSDHC card from Newegg.com and my HTC Fuze will NOT see it. I have tried everything I know (very computer knowledgeable). Checked the reg settings, etc. but it will not ever see the card even after reformats and reboots. The card works fine in laptop and other devices, but not my HTC Fuze... ???????
I had big probs with my 8 gb sandisk: Files and folders were lost after a time... i formatted with a lot of utilities, nothing helped now i use kingston without any probs on my TP ...

I purchased DSE 8Gb card, like you could see it, reformat it & everything worked a treat on the PC, but when putting into the TP it was a very different story!
Sometimes it would see it, sometimes not, very hit & miss affair without any reliably repeatable circumstances, so took it back, tried another one - same issue, then sucked it up and went to purchase a Kingston one (5 bucks cheaper)... it worked first time and haven't had (touch wood) a problem yet!

Mariobg, I am in the same situation you are. I am using NRG Energy Rom 2.0 4/14/09. I am having the same problems with my A-DATA micro SDHC 8GB Class 6. I also own a SanDisk 512 MB micro SD card that works no problem. I will try flashing to a different ROM to see if that fixes it. Did you ever solve the problem.
Adata issues on rapahel
Hi there , i have the same problem with this &*^&*%$ Adata card on my raphael.
Rom : Elite rc3
Tried Hard Reset
Tried Soft Reset
formatted it untill it was smoking.
Learned one thing with this....first read...then buy.
Well I tried several different ROMs and still no success. i ended up trying the memory card in my friends HTC Fuze, and it did not work either. He had a 4 GB micro SDHC A-data card that works great. So I tried his card in my phone, and it also worked great. So, it appears that the 8 GB A-data card is defective. I am going to RMA it tomorrow.

You can find his cab here:

But, unfortunately, it did not solve my problem.
I have a Class 4 Kingston 8GB MicroSD that was in NTFS format. My HTC Fuze couldn't see it until I format it in FAT32. Works now .

8GB Transcend SDHC not working in Fuze

Ok, so I just bought an 8GB Transcend SDHC Class 6 from Amazon. My Fuze (with default ATT rom) won't recognize it, but my friend's Verizon Touch Pro does. It also works in my laptops SD slot with the adapter. I tried formatting it, but my phone still doesn't see it. I tried googling for help, but the only thing I found is wm5/6 having issues with SDHC. The Fuze is supposed to be compatible, right?
Is there anything you guys could would suggest? I found a SDHC.cab file, but it doesn't do anything.
-nate
also, my 2GB Kingston works fine.
I have found Transcend SDs to be iffy.
I've been using a Transcend Class 6 microSDHC card that I purchased from Newegg (with miniature USB reader) since day one with my Fuze, hasn't missed a beat. Sounds like you may just have a faulty one.
This is what I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208460
same problem here, please help ..........
Using a Transcend 8GB Micro here no probs at all!! Been using for months I'd say

So here's what I tested:
I bought 2 of the Transcend 8GB C6 cards.
Neither card worked in my Fuze or my bosses Fuze.
Both cards worked in a Verizon Touch Pro.
Both cards worked in multiple Verizon 6800's.
I found a friend with a Trans 8GB CLASS 4 card, it works in my phone.
I sold one of the class 6 cards and traded the other to my friend.
Oh also mine does say C6 on it, or more specifically a 6 with a C around it!
Thanks
JFlitt
Sandisk is the only way to go..pretty cheap on Amazon
You know just for the hell of it, one of you guys w/ the 8gb card should dl and try the Panasonic SD formatter program. Google it. I have one that just says V2.
I had weird issues w/ a 4 gig card, reformatted it numerous times, w/ numerous programs nothing worked until this panasonic program i found.
SDFormatter V.2
My 8GB Transcend Class 6 works great in my FUZE. What I found interesting is that I bought an 8GB Transcend in November for $16 and another in January for $15 but now they cost $21! How does the price RISE $6 in 6 months? I think there is something fishy going on in flash memory prices. They had working 32GB prototype cards a year ago yet they still are not out.
it could be putting the storage card at the bottom of the list in file explorer. you made sure it wasnt there by looking at the storage card tab under memory settings right?
Trying it Now

Using http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.html
Tried 1. quick format, format size adjustment off- no luck
now trying 2. full format(flash erase on), format size adjustment off- no luck
Maybe something like this would work:

I've got the same card with the same problem. The card actually worked for the first time, but after flashing a new ROM onto the device, the storage card was no longer accessible from the phone itself while it is from card reader. Formatting does nothing.
I had an issue like this once with SD cards on a Dell Axim but it turned out to be the fault of the WMDRM folder--which isn't the case here since the card is empty now.
Is there some other method in which the device locks the card?
Just wanted to throw my two cents in. I bought two Transcend 4gb class 6 SDHC cards, both of which worked find in my computer and camera, but neither worked in my Fuze. I ended up buying a Sandisk card which is working famously in my device. However, it is only a Class 4 card... Hey, as long as I can save and playback video to it without interruption, I'm happy.

So it stopped working after flashing a new ROM? Have you tried going back or flashing a different ROM? It could be a problem with the ROM if the problem started happening after you flashed a new ROM.

I've gone back to that ROM with no success and on to different ROMs with no luck. Changing Device ID doesn't seem to help.
I will try that format utility when I get home.
My 64MB Sandisk works fine however.
The only way to access the 8GB Transcend card is to install wm5torage and use the phone as a reader, so it's not a hardware issue. The storage card itself cannot be viewed in File Explorer/TC or through ActiveSync--basically WM refuses to acknowledge its existence.
No deal with the Panasonic format program.
I'll just use the card in my Garmin for MP3s instead.
The card just arrived from Amazon for me, and it isn't working. I should've searched this up before buying the card. Still no fixes?
i have trancend microsdhc class 6, 8gb and not working in my raphael (asia wwe stock rom)
is there any chance that upgrade rom to the newer one / flash custom rom will fix this issue? panasonic sd formater didn't help.
i have this card 1month and it work ok for me. one day card crash i get new (same) but device don´t see this card. i try new rom, panasonic sd format but no change.
i try 8gb sandisk class 4 and kingston class 6 and this cards works ok.

micro sd card problems

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this before about micro sd cards not formatting but i bought a new htc hd2 and it came with a 2gig micro sd card which worked fine but i needed more memory so i purchased a 8 gig micro sdhc card which worked fine for about a month when i turned on my phone it asked me to format which i did not want to do as it had all contacts etc on but in had to perform a format on my card through the phone which it did so when i went to put all my contacts back in via active sync it was only showing 30.6meg instead of 8gig and would not let me format in fat32 as it was only showing me fat now i needed my contacts so i purchased a 4gig micro sdhc on Monday of this week and this morning when i turned on my phone the same thing happened again 30.6meg and fat so now i am back on my original card of 2gig which format properly in fat 32 every time do you know what the problem is
thanks
I'm going to take one guess that this is a sandisk mem card?? HTC have said they know about the problem but have done nothing bout it, there is quite a few threads in the hd2 section about this problem, just for you're info i have a transcend 8 gig and works perfectly
demon_man
thanks for your reply and yes it is a sandisk i will buy a transend today

[Q] China phones SD destroyer!!!

Hello everyone, i have an UBTEL_U8 china phone octacore with Android 4.2.1. It only has 1gb of internal memory plus 12gb of rom. For this reason, beacuse i can't move apps to rom memory, i need an sd card to move apps on. I bought a Lexar 16gb class 6 sd card 4 months ago, and everything works fine until yesterday. I used link2SD app for moving apps to sd and i made a partition ext2 into the sd with AParted app.
everythig works fine, until i had to dismount my sd from phone and mount it again, because i had to change the partiton format in ext4 to ext2 (no really good reason to do this, i was trying if it was faster to moving data then ext2 filesytem). Once dismounted, wheni tried to mount my sd, the phone says that it's damaged!!! I inserted it with the Lexar card reader into the pc but tells me that i have to format, but if i try to format it's not working...
The same thing happened with another lexar 16gb card on my previous china phone, it broke my sd during charching!!! when it was charching the touchpad went crazy and system unstable and when i removed the phone from charching the memory was dead.. It's not done yet.
I had another china phone that stole my on march, a copy of Note 3. My sd card broke with no reason.. but i was using a similar app to link2SD for extend memory (apparently all china phones have only 1gb internal memory... why!!!!???)
So, in 1 year i changed 3 phones, 3 china phones, and all of them destroyed my sd cards... Now i want to know if it's possible to save the sd cards, and i want to know if the problem is really inside the phone, or it can be fault of linking apps to sd, and so if it's fault of link2sd and Aparted.
Next time what sd i have to buy? a quality one that resists to china phones maybe..
Thank you for you help..
