8Gb Micro SD Issues - Touch Pro, Fuze General

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.

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 .

Changing micro sd card

Recently received my orbit 2 and it came with a 1gb micro sd card and copilot. I want to upgrade to a larger card but will that mean losing copolit? Not sure if it installed itself on the card the first time I turned on the device, or if it came on the card to begin with. If that's the case, how do I switch this over to another card? Thanks.
Everytime I upgraded my MicroSD card, I just copied everything I had on the card to a folder on my computer, then inserted the new card in the phone and copied it back.
Everything ran the same exact way as it did before I upgraded the card. Even all my applications that were installed on the card.
Great, thanks
Was about to buy a new card (going for 2gb), when I found a few choices:
- sandisk micro sd
- sandisk micro sd premier
- or I could go for sandisk 4gb sdhc
Is there any difference in performance or anything else between the above? Any advice on best option for the orbit2 (or even other brands)?
Cheers.
I'm using a Sandisk 4gb SDHC card. Works great.
If i'm not wrong SDHC is a completely new technology, and the cruise is one of the first to support it.
Thanks, I was impatient and just went for the normal 2gb

I just dumped a 2gb in favour of an 8gb. It was only £30 or so, might as well!

SDHC 8GB problems

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!
Bye,
Hello,

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.

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

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 not detected

So today i brought a 8gb Transcend Class 6 mico sd card for my raphael. So i went back home and try it then i found it not detected on the file explorer but it says expansion slot in use when i go to Settings>About. Thanks in advance.
[email protected]
Transcend is not recomended by HTC. i am also having same problem with my SD card which is made by Transcend (4GB capacity). it detects when you put it in phone for a longer time, but you can not write/save/copy anything in it. it will say FILE CAN NOT COPY, MAKE SURE THE PHONE IS PROPERLY CONENCTED AND SOURCE FILE IS NOT MOVED BLA....BLA... BLA...
when i checked with HTC team, they advised me to use micro SD from SANDISK.
well the weird thing is when i insert the card on my friends phone(HTC TYTN 2) it detects it instantly after inserting it in. But when i insert it on my phone it doesn't work, btw i also tried another card from my friend, it a sandisk 4gb and it worked. hmm this seems top be a uncommon issue.
I ahve the SAME exact problem with the 8GB Transcend Class 6 Micro SD that I just bought for my phone. I've had no issues at all with the 4GB Transcend Class 6 card that I currently have. On the other hand, I had a 4GB Sandish Class 6 that would not work in my Raphael but would work just fine in my Kaiser.
Appearently the card worked randomly but i can't copy any file to the card for some reason.
look for something called SDformatter by panasonic i had similar troubles with a couple sd cards till i found this program.
they all work now in any phone/device.
Is there any specific setting to set in the program Panasonic formating program? Erase enable or whatever? I had my SD card working for about 2 or 3 days and now its not detected again.
I have similar my 8GB does not get recognized and if does it's only for a matter of minutes then corrupts but my 2GB reads fine, but the 8GB is fine in Kaiser already used the SDformatter to which makes it read till corrupts again within minutes...
Going to try some other cards out in local shop before purchase will take laptop to transfer data while there.

I have read in a lot of post that Transcend 8GB class 6 card have problems to be recognized by Rapahel.
I also have one. On my Kaiser worked well.
With stock rom it wasn't recognized by Raphael; with Energyrom it is recognized, but i used for few minutes, because i feared that something bad could happen..after reading all these post.
I usually use a Kingston 2gb card.
We were unlucky buying these cards...

Yes, I also have a Samsung 8GB class 6 card that my Touch Pro refuses to read. Tried an EnergyROM as I had read that for some reason they were better at reading some cards. But no dice - just bought Sandisk Class 2 and it works perfectly so far

[Q] Class 10 MicroSD Card, problem?

i did a test on Patriot Class 10 32GB Micro SD on my Sensation. everything went quite smooth, for 10 hrs...after that Sensation can't detect the card anymore. Put the card into card reader, PC can't detect card. so all data in the card was gone and the card is now rendered unusable!
tried on a Transcend Class 10 16GB, Sensation couldn't detect the card at all!
put in a Sandisk Class 4 8GB, Sensation immediately detected the card and i'm still happily using the card for 3 days without incident...
in fact, my Asus Transformer had the same issue with a Patriot class 10 32GB card. wiped the data on the card and rendered it useless...
so any info that i should know abt regarding class 10 MicroSD Card?
thx
I have no solution for you..
I can only say that i am using a Transcend Class 10 16GB card
with no problem. Maybe the problem lies within your phone?
but it happens to my HD2, Asus Transformer and my Sensation...
three devices with the same problem?
i really dunno...
If the card couldn't be read by your pc or 3 other phones, that would lead me to believe that your card is bad. Hopefully you bought it from a reputable seller with a solid return policy and you can just try a new one.
Ive had this problem a few times, its usually the card. I was able to detect mine using Micro SD Adapter but i couldnt open it up. I used Paragon Partition Manager (only thing that detected it) did a full wipe (takes a longgg time 5-7 hours) and then reformatted using windows to just a FAT32, then used Clockwork recovery to partition EXT. It worked fine after that, it was my old 8gb card
I've bought a 16GB Class 10 microSD from Patriot. No problems at all. works fine and is very fast.
Your card must be broken...
