Hey,
I have the HD2 and a San Disk 8GB SD Card. Today, I restarted my phone, and then when over to the gallery to view my pictures... All of the pictures load and I can scroll through them, however, after 6 or so seconds they all disappear and the phone says "No photos availible, Press to launch camera".
If I leave it for a period of time, they re appear again, then a few seconds later dissappear. If I try clicking on one of the images to view it full size it says "unable to open photo".
So the phone is saying there is no SD card in it, but sometimes it will detect its there.
Also, if I plug it into my SD card reader, it can see everything there, but I cant copy the files to my PC, it just says "calculating time".
Any suggestions?

Hey i've been using this 8gb microsdhc card for a few days with no problems....
well today i added a bunch of songs to my phone, but when updating my library in wmp, the update process froze, and i had to perform a soft reset....
ever since then, the card seems to be dead....it freezes my phone if i try to access it, and when i plug it into the usb reader and into my computer, when i try to open it, it says "Please insert a disc into Removeable Disc D:"
i've tried to format it within windows, but it once again tells me "Please insert a disc into Removeable Disc D:"
i've tried a low level format tool, which cant even find the card...is this card dead?
also i have another seemingly dead 8gb microsd card....however this one lets me do a low level format, but then when trying to format a partition, it says windows cannot perform the operation....
is my phone killing these cards?
i'm using an AT&T 8525 with Pays Lite Rom v3.05

Have you tried using MemMaid? Although the card must be in your phone, you can perform such tasks.... Give it a shot at least. Link in my signature......
Thanks for the reply...
i tried memmaid.....it couldnt even detect one of my cards
i tried card two, and it detected it fine, but when trying to format it gives me this error instantly "Error occurred while formatting 'Storage Card'"
Hi all,
I have a MicroSD card, which has been working fine before.
All of a sudden it stopped working, being not visible in card readers.
- Computers (XP/Vista) with an external card reader, show the drive letter for the reader, but just to tell me that there's nothing inside there.
- Several Windows Mobile 6 devices don't show the inserted card.
- Symbian S60 devices recognize the card as 'a card', telling me it's corrupted and ask me to format it. At an attempt to do so, it asks me if I want to continue, since other programs are using the card (which is not true). After saying "Yes, continue", nothing happens and the phone keeps saying the card is corrupted.
- On one Vista PC with a front panel card reader, the 'My Computer' window freezes when trying to open the drive, representing the front panel where the MicroSD card is in. Same for right clicking it in an attempt to format. When I take out the card, 'My Computer' instantly unfreezes.
It seems that that PC somehow 'sees' that the card is there (unlike the PC's where I use an external card reader for).
--
As you can see, a lot of different things, yet none of them offers me a way to format the card for use again.
Who has the solution here? Are there any magical tools/tips/tricks to save my card (a format would be no problem) or is it done for?
Thanks!
not that i know off many SD cards seem to die young
and the whole format was never made to last ages
which i guess is why sandisk made this

if it'd under warrenty return it otherwise i'd sugest you flush it down the toilet
ok so long story short, i brought my phone in to sprint cuz my screen is cracked... i took out my memory card before i brought it in and after i left there, i put the card back in and it is almost completely formatted it seems like... just my programs folder and my DCIM camera album folder remain, along with 1 ringtone.. mind u i had about 300 songs, 200 pix, videos, and every ppc file ive downloaded, and now its alllll gone =( anyone kno what may have happened..?? im so pissed right now.... when i put the card back in the phone it said a new card was recognized or whatever, but it said that when i went from my mogul to touch pro and it didnt erase nothin then, y now...
Even if you have accidentally formatted your SD card, you may be able to recover them using free recovery tools.
1)DONT WRITE ANYTHING TO THE CARD
2) Put it to your computer and create an image of physical drive with winhex
Now your data is safer...
How long did the formatting proccess took?
I would try to unformat with norton utilities...

Okay, so it was a emergency and I had to remove my Micro SD card, so I couldn't unmount it.. Later that I day I was about to play some music when I realized all my songs where gone! .... The same with my pictures that were on the card! (ALL MY NYC PICS FROM MY TRIP I JUST WENT ON ARE ON THERE).... Did removing it from the phone actually make the date unusable or was it when I accidentally hit format SD card but, as soon as I hit it, I hit stop!!! This is crazy, for this had all my NYC pictures on it :/
On a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, that is not reading sim cards, but the sim works in other phones. Could it be that I left it in Airplane mode so long? I am not rooted, or anything like that. Any fixes?

Does the PC reconize the card? If it does but doesnt open you might have chance recovering your data from it, if it shows up as empty your chances are pretty weak (tho with some software you still may be able to get your files back, i have even got my files back after formatting my hdd and renstalling OS). if it shows up as empty, do not copy new content on there
If you go to Transcend website they have a recovery program called recover rx. You can recover lost files with this. I had also once faced a similar problem where all my photos got wiped out by trying to download using a cheap sd card adapter. I used this software to recover all my photos.
try to explore the sd from the pc,mabye it's simple a bug
I have LG P990, which install ICS4.0.4, when i insert new SD card, i dont have mount or format option for new SD card, is that normal, i did download bind application for Music and Movie application to find my song and video. i need bind it every time, what can i do to mount new extra SD card to internal SD card?
This software is really simple free and I have found really good. Recuva.
Install on a PC and connect card select drive on recuva, and start it.
Very simple
If the problem is just deleted data or formatted drive

I have the 3rd gen moto g with a 16 gb sd card in it formatted as internal memory.
A few weeks ago, I updated some apps, restarted the phone, and when it started back up it couldnt read the sd card.
I uninstalled the updated apps, restarted, cleared caches, etc.
After monkeying around with it for awhile, I've found that the sd card is read for a few seconds to a minute after plugging it back in.
Since the card is formatted as internal, I can't save my photos / videos on a computer or another device.
I've been in the process of backing up my many photos. The process goes like this - Unplug sd card, open storage options, plug sd card back in, explore the contents of the card, navigate to my camera album, click on a photo a select copy to, upload the photo to my google drive. sometimes the photo uploads, and sometimes the sd card disconnects before its able to. I'd say 1 in 10 attempts actually results in the photo being uploaded. Then I unplug the card, plug it back in, navigate back, and delete that photo. Rinse and repeat.
This is an insanely annoying process. I've tried connecting my phone to a computer to copy files, sd card doesnt show at all, I've tried selecting multiple files at once from google drive to upload, never reads the card. I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas for how I can back up my photos. I have several hundred, maybe a thousand left. Thank you
