I have just taken delivery of my Touch Pro. I inserted my 8GB into slot (correctly) however, when I go to memory/storage card it says not installed.
Any comments, help or ideas most welcome. The card is Sandisk and was working in the phone I took it out of.
How is the card formatted, what phone did you use it in?
likely the card... but try another?
i just put a 16Gb micro sdhc in yesterday after direct copy from my 2Gb to the 16Gb, popped it in and it was fine (had to reinstall iGo but nothing else needed to be done with all other apps installed in phone memory)
Sounds like it needs formatting perhaps? Hard to think what else could be going on there, but TP took my 8GB card without problems, and is now running with my 16GB card without problems.
like a few other people said already...formatting...that should do it!
I did excatly the same thing with a 8GB Sandisk Ultra. It worked first time no problem.
There are A LOT of fakes on eBay which are incredibly hard to distinguish - I got a Sony Memory Stick that just had lots of write and read errors and just stopped working. You might wanna check if the problem persists.

Place it in a computer, right click over the drive icon, format.
I formatted my Touch Pro 2 with Fat32 format, and it will only see 8G and it's a 16G. What's the deal?

I've had a A-Data microsd HC 8GB card with miniSD adapter for about two months. It all worked well until I took the card out of the phone and put it into a card reader. The computer recognized the card, I transfered some big files (it's quicker to transfer than using USB...) and then ran into problems with my P3600. First, no card was found by PPC. I made a few hard resets, formatted the card, tried other roms... Nothing seemed to help, so I took the card back to service and they gave me another one right away (a replacement). Of course I was very excited since I cannot live without some memory in my HTC. Inserted the new card and... again nothing, saying "Not installed". Yes, I read there are problems with SDHC cards, but I'd like to get it working as soon as possible (tomorrow I'm going to Germany, so I'd really need it), if no solution, I'll have to be statisfied with my old 2GB MINISD.
Any solutions here??
Tried almost everything.
Thanks,
e
have you tryied with a different adaptor?
no... i was thinking about trying my father's but i don't want to mess up thing for him also. the the microsd -> minisd -> sd -> computer seems to work just fine
SDHC Problems
I think you musst format the sdhc card in --> importend---> FAT32 FORMAT
on you Pc!
Check file manager
Using File manager check that, when you removed the card, the OS didn't create a new Storage card. If it did, your card will become Storage Card 2 and not function correctly.
The cure is to remove your card, delete Storage card from My Device, put your card in and soft reset.
Good luck.
I risked my father's MINISD adapter and it works... so it was the adapte causing all of the problems :/ I'll go and buy another one.
Thank you for your help anyway!

Hello,
can you tell me what you did to get this micro SDHC to 8Gb work ?
I only see half of the capacity on my HTC 3600 ?

I have the Sandisk 8 Gig microSD w adapter in my Trinity and it works perfectly. In fact it is the best memory card that I've ever used going back through all of my PPC devices. It hasn't had even one single issue.

which ROM/windows verion are you using? you might need to flash a different one or apply a fix - search and you'll find-it
Only 4GB SDHC work in default Rom WM5
Update to WM6 and 8GB SDHC working fine.

corrupted my 8GB Sandisk Ultra II after 3 days of use.
The card could be read INSIDE of my Raphael but not on my PC with different card readers. This would be a minor problem but my Raphael also destroyed randomly files on the card too.
I thought the Micro SDHC Card was defective and send it back.
Now I own a Sandisk 16GB Card and it got also courrupted in like 2 days of use.
Some file from my *Notes* was thrashed and other files followed.
Raphael will try to open the file and then stay busy. After like 20 seconds a message containing "There is not enough memory " pop up... (150MB free ram should be enough to open a 2 kb Notes-file )
Wierd thing -> My *old* Sandisk 6 GB MicroSDHC Card I own for more than half a year now works flawlessly... (Till yet )
Someone here got the same experiences ?
Someone got some advice for me ?
I read something about updated SD sdrivers from member Tucan which he cooked into a german stock rom. Are they any good for me ?
Is there a Rom which should solve my problems ?
Help will be really appreciated !!
im sorry but the new memory you have must be fake, that explains why it works with your old mem, and why after sending it back, the same place sent you another fake.
Oh lord here we go, I just ordered my 8gb MicroSDHC card from newegg since the Fuze will be out soon I hope this isn't a common problem.
I corrupted my 8GB once, but by my own fault. I was in the middle of a transfer and was connected as a hard drive, not through activesync, and hit the power button which disconnected it from the computer. I hooked it up as a hard drive again, went into windows and reformatted the MicroSD... No issues from then on.

I ordered both cards from completly different places, so that is unlikely.
They did work normaly (some days) even on my PC, so I guess it is my Raph which corrupted them

I´m always *releasing* my harddrives/cards (on my PC) with the icon in the lower right corner to be save from what you experienced.
Oh man. I have the 16GB Card sitting here and cant use it... I will try it in my old XDA Trion (aka Hermes) for the next days ...
Anyway thanks for your replys !
Someone else has some thoughts about the problem ?
Maybe it has something to do with all the powersaving *features* beeing enabled through -Advanced Config 3.2- and -Diamond Tweak- ?
Well I'm using the same rom as you and was using an 8gb Sandisk card until I got a 16gb Sandisk card and both work flawlessly I'm afraid. I have also applied the power saving tweaks you mention with no ill effect.
using 8gb for about a month now, no problems at all.
Oh, I should mention I've heard many people talk about how there were a lot of Tilts that corrupted MicroSD cards. It was a flaw from the factory, apparently affected a number of them. I wouldn't be surprised of HTC saw some of the same issues with the Fuze, knowing all of the issues they've had already.
My 8gb card works just fine.
For reference, I'm using an A-DATA Class-6 8gb microSD purchased from NewEgg. Cheap, fast, reliable, perfect.
16gb bog standard San Disk Micro SD is working fine at the moment.
Formatted using Panasonic's SD Formatter as I corrupted it before I even put it in the Pro.
my 8GB works fine too
Maybe if everybody posts the brand name of their cards we can determine if this has something to do with the issues.
I remember with my Hermes I had to get a specific brand and produced from a certain plant to not have any issues. I still have my Kingston Micro SD from the Japan plant with no issues.
Using 8Gb and 16Gb of Sandisk with no probs on my Touch Pro.
Hi,
I may be barking up the wrong tree here but are you sure you have not enabled the Encryption setting under Settings. This will encrypt the storage card so it can only be read from the phone. Removing the card and placing in a PC or Laptop would show up as corrupted.
I selected it by mistake once and it corrupted my folder tree and showed garbage.
Not saying this is what is up but is worth looking at.
Personally I have a 16GB SanDisk card in my Touch Pro and it been OK. Been running for about 3 weeks now.
John
maybe the cardreaders from youre PC are not compatible with sdhc.
This is redundand and it may be opinion but im looking into buying a class 6 8gig. Is adata reliable? What company is the best in your opinions for what im looking for. Fastest?

Sandisk. Always. Forever. For my memory cards at least
FYI...
I put a 16Gb Sandisk in my TP on monday (5 days ago)... not a single problem with it and no corrupted files either.
I was previously using my 4Gb Sandisk card from my old Kaiser... which also worked perfectly fine.
Had a Sandisk 8GB card in mine, no problems. Now have a 16GB Sandisk, no problems.
For me I'll buy Sandisk, and only Sandisk, for my memory cards.
I have the very chip you described in my kaiser (class 6 a-data 8gb) runs without a problem. I've never really had much problems with microsd chips but I gotta admit I got a little worries when this thread poped up not so much about the chip but the phone itself, I've never had a bad chip in my life bought about 20 or so thus far, the a-data does well in terms of speed nothing to be excisted about but for it's class and size it holds its own.
Hi,
I received my new Touch pro and it worked fine for a day, i noticed that it would stop reading the card. i would press the back and the thing would read again. take the card out and put it back in and it would work. then it stopped working all together. No matter what i card i put in it does not read at all.
I put the card into my PC to test and it wont read, i put in another card and it reads fine in the PC but not in the phone..
does anyone know of any utilities that i could use to repair this card.. maybe the FAT table got screwed up.
Eazy
if your PC read the card, so i think not the card is damaged
i think your diamond pro isnt work well...
no..
I have 2 cards.. a 8 gig and a 1 gig.
the 8 gig worked fine until my diamond pro broke it. it will not read in the phone or the PC. my 1 gig wont read in the phone but works fine in the pc. the card reader in the phone is now dead and the 8 gig is now dead. when i put the 8 gig in the pc it will come up with a drive letter but with a 0 file size and when i click on the drive it tells me to insert disk.
so does anyone know of a program to repair the SDHC?
firstly, thats a Micro SD card, not a SIM card.
Secondly, please could you give more details on make/how old/type of the SD cards trying to be used.
Chances are it was still trying to write when u pulled it out, so it needs formatting.
if you format it make sure it is the right format!

I figured that you noticed after my second post that the subject was wrong..
anyway.. its a 8gig SanDisk about 8 months old. also there was no chance that it was trying to write when i pulled it out. if you look at my first post you will see that the card reader on the phone is damaged and im looking for some type of program to repair the Micro SDHC card...
I am not going to format the card.. I need the information off the card and Ontrack wants 100 to look at the card and 400 to recover the information. This card worked fine with my other pone until i got the diamond with the bad SD card reader.
There's no such thing as a Diamond Pro; only a Diamond or a Pro. As you're talking about removable memory cards I assume you mean the Pro, in which case you're in the wrong forum and you're likely to get more constructive feedback here.
You guys are killing me.. What does that have to do with the fact that I have a bad SDHC card and want to know if there is any application out there that could help me out. If nobody has one to help me then I guess that’s just the case. You guys really get tied up on minute detail rather than the situation on hand. I will edit the subject again, and maybe it will get moved over to the Raphael area..
Thanks for your responses..

Might be a daft question but, have you tried chkdsk?
If that doesn't work how about a/ looking at the card with parted (or similar) in Linux or b/ finding a hex editor that will read the disk 'surface' directly.

i will try my linux box in a few minutes..
let me clarify..
i would go to file explorer and it would see the card.. i would try to go to a directory and ht would not see the card and only show my device. i would take the cover off and press on the back, turn the phone over and it would see the storage card again..
so technically if it had a loose connection and while browsing the directories it lost connectivity that could have possibly simulated the removing the card while it was writing issue.
Eh..
Thanks guys.. the linux box could not mount the card.. Ill send it out for recovery.. :-(
Try following the links from this Artemis thread for hints to recover any salvageable data.
I guessed, along with others, early on in this saga that writeback cacheing could be the culprit.
The 'fix' that eventually solved the problem tends to suggest that hardware, (bad contacts etc) wasn't the problem IMO
The end result is the same though, the FAT or mbr gets messed up.
How about fdisk/mbr on your SD (research first though please).
HTH

Funny, I was just searching Google for a fix or repair software for my SDCH card that my Fuze broke and ended up here (my favorite website). I guess is a phone realted issue?
i know this isnt the first of this post. people dont use search anymore. but i had bought an 8gb sandisk card for my fuze when i bought the thing. shortly after the card went all stupid on my like everyone else. i was told by att it wasnt an issue with the phone, it was the sd cards. att replaced it for free, quick and easy, no questions asked. see if you can get it changed out for you where you bought it.
Hi
I'm hoping someone can help me, I've just purchased a new 64GB Micro SDXC UHS-1 to use with my new Sony Xperia Z3. But I'm having a lot problems, the phone keeps saying "Damaged SD Card Please format the card" however the Card works fine on PC. I have tried formatting from the phone still says the same thing. I have tried both Fat32Format GUI and EaseUS partition to format the card to FAT32. As far as I can tell its FAT32 but the phone still wont accept it and keeps saying Damaged SD Card.
Unfortunately, I don't have another SD card to test the phone, so before I take the phone back or get another SD card I want to make sure I've tried everything or see if this is common issue that someone might have a solution for. I have also tried restoring the phone using the Sony PC Companion.
Any ideas on what the problem might be?
It keeps corrupting all my sandisk ultra 64gb micro sdxc cards. I've read atleast one on Xperia care forum with issue. Including ones I've used for ages in other devices
I have no problem with my high speed Sandisk Extreme Plus 64GB.
The easiest way to tell whether it's the phone or the SD card would probably be to test another one... I have a 64GB Samsung PRO and it has worked great for me.
Did you try format it to exFAT?

Yes I have tried exFat and tried NTFS even though I knew it wouldnt work but thought I would try anyways..
Wait ExFat works?
Does this apply to all Z3's or just specific ones? I have a 64gb sandisk ultra microsd card and want to use for my Z3 that I am purchasing. Do I actually have to root it or will it just work if I put it in the MicroSD slot? I thought it supported up to 128gb.
Also, I've been reading the forums and found posts of people with gap issues and light showing on the sides. Do any of you have these issues?

ExFAT has better limitation than Fat32.
If the phone doesn't support NTFS, can consider the exFAT.
Ok so i've resolved the issue (so to speak), the hard I was trying was a Strontium Nitro 64GB, which does not work with the Z3 it works with the Z1 though (strange). So I purchased a SanDisk Ultra and that is working now with no problems.
I dont have any issues with Gaps or light showing on the side.. I have put the phone under the tap for a few mins and havent had any problems.
I have a PNY 64GB MicroSDXC I and am experiencing the exact same issue. The phone reads other 4GB sd cards but absolutely refuses to read the 64GB one no matter how I format it. Reformatting it through the phone prompt does not work. It just pops up with damaged sd card please try formating every time I have it try to fix it. The sd card reads fine on multiple windows pc's. I have tried formatting it as exFat and Fat32(which windows wouldn't let me do...had to use a 3rd party utility) and neither worked.

My phone never rebooted, I have a 128 GB SanDisk Class 10 sd card. But after like a few weeks or months I got a sd card error and soon after that I couldn't access any files on it.
Only rebooting solved the issue, but once I got it it would occur more often and often, sometimes every 2 days and sometimes multiple times a day. Formating the SD card made it work again for a few months until it started all over again.
I formated it to different formats (in windows), I also formatted it with the phone itself, nothing helped.. I'm constantly running out of space now because I only store my music and photos on the sd card.
I never tried a different sd card long enough to recreate the problem, but I used this sd card for a few months on a different device.
If someone fixed this please help me I'm so tired of this :crying:
I have a 128Gb Sandisk in my Mate 7, runs with no issues at all. Maybe clean your contacts?

To be honest I never tried it lol, but if rebooting the phone solves the issue I don't understand how dust or dirt could be the problem. I will try it anyways, maybe it works :cyclops:

Cleaned the sd card and the sd card slot as good as possible, but after a few days I had the same problem again... Maybe my sd card is broken but I can't really test it so I guess I'll live with this forever...
Just now it came to my mind that I could've bought a fake SanDisk card, even though I got it from amazon. I will test it tomorrow I think.
Maybe.
How is it formatted? Probably most compatible to format to FAT32.
I have a 64Gb card in an old phone that was supposed to take a maximum of 32Gb and it works fine when formatted the right way.

It is formatted exFat right now, I formatted it quite a few times since i got the card so I don't know whether I always had exFat or not. I'm checking the SD card now for it's real capacity, with 100 GB left it will take 8 hours, but if it's really a fake card it should cause errors way earlier I think. If that's not the problem I'll wait until I have time to flash KangVIP, then I'll re-format the sd card and do some cleanup while I'm at it.
i bought a 128gb samsung evo+ sdcard and working great so far
