I have a 16gb micro sd card, worked fine, i formatted it to fat32 while it was in a phone that was connected to windows vista laptop. then when i took it out and put it in phone it wasnt recognised, so i put it in my friends android phone and it says it needs formatting, i click format but nothing happened, i put it into a computer it comes up as a removable disk saying please insert disk, when i go to manage on the computer and find it, only thing i can do is change the letter, and its coming up as 0 bytes. Any ideas?
Somebody must have an idea?
Try to format it under Linux.
If that does not work either, RMA it or throw it into the dustbin if out of warranty.
i only have a phone to put it in, i dont have a sd card reader, and when i put it in my n900 it doesnt come up under linux.
Shrug; SD card reader is given out for free with many SD cards... or borrow one from someone?
I have a sd card reader just not a slot for a micro sd, but surely if it doesnt come up on my n900 running linux then it wont with a card reader?

What slot? There are USB adapters, and there are miniSD/microSD to SD adapters for normal card readers (again, this is normally part of the package when you buy the SD card, where the hell did you get yours to get nothing of this?).
Do NOT try this via another phone, it simply is not useful. If the phone does not recognize the card, there is nothing for the PC to do. Phone attached via USB is NOT a card reader, it acts as a mass storage device.
Im trying a friends card reader tomoz but i dont have huge hopes.

Hey everyone,
I have a 1gb micro sd card. It apparently has bad blocks and cannot be recognized by my 8525 (WM6.1), vista pc or xp sp2 pc. I have the programs to recover the info on it, but none of these programs are effective because the card doesn't show up as a drive.
I am attempting to access the card directly from the phone. With the pc's I have an usb adapter that I know works because I use it for my 8gb micro sd card to swap information.
Can some one give me an answer on how to either fix the bad blocks or make the card recognizable by the ppc or pc's? The recovery programs I have say they will get info off a formated card, but I can't format what the phone or pc's doesn't recognize.
Thanks.
which apps did you try?
if if i'm not mistaken i managed to recover a card using Active Recovery 7
The easiest way for me was, plug your card back to where it gave you a bad blocks, and it should be readable, then backup your datas there,.
this is what i did to my 2GB miniSD for Olympus e520 SLR Camera (the camera lost now),.
I plug it in to my friend laptop, then it cant be readable by any device, then i plug it again, and its readable, then i back it up, then i leave the miniSD,.
Hey G, Thanks for the reply. The card went bad in a digital camera. So I should place the microsd card in the camera, use the usb cord to connect to the pc, remove the usb cord once the card doesn't read, then reconnect the usb cord?

I'll check out Active Recovery 7. Thanks.
I have a 16GB SanDisk micro sdhc card that I use constantly in my incredible. It has all my songs, pictures, application and widget files and my phone cannot access it. It attempts to read the card then says 'card unexpectedly removed.' I suffered with that all day hoping that I could get home and try to copy the files to my pc and then format the sd card. Then my pc wouldn't recognize the card either. Once I plug it in, the autoplay would start reading the files, then it would stop and a message pops up saying 'please insert a disk into drive H.' It would not allow me to open up the drive, let alone copy any files from it. Nor could I format the card either.
Does anyone have any good information on how to either get my files back by getting the card working again, or by formatting the card, as i can do neither one at the moment.
Thanks,
Merry Xmas
Hello all,
I have a strange behavior :
32 gigs SD card unlocked
I can read write on PC but when I insert it into the SD slot of the Transformer's dock the property is switched to Read only.
If I take the same SD card and put in into a dongle and plug it into the USB slot : the property is now Read & Write...
Any hint please ?
Fand'
Anybody at least has faced this trouble ?
What program are you using to access the SD card in android? Where does it tell you that it is read-only/read-write.
I know in root explorer there is a toggle for read-write/read-only.
Can't say I have the same problem as you, but I have my own SD card problem with the dock.

I haven't faced this trouble with an SD card, but I have tried to plug in a 8GB USB Thumb Drive to the USB port on the dock and the TF won't even recognize it. So there may be some bug there that might be fixed with HC 3.2 update
Also, I have used a 2GB SD Card in the SD Card slot on the TF dock and it worked fine for me. I have the dock with serial # B50KAS, running stock HC 3.1.
Hello,
I use ES File Explorer.
The same SD card inserted in the dock in the SD reader has a property : Read
If I use a USB dongle, insert the sd card and plug it into the dock, the property is then Read Write...
Tried with another SD card and it worked normally (but it was a 16Gb).
Soooooo weird.
I will wait for the next update to see if there is any issue solve on the SD reader... sounds like a little problem for managing high capacity SD card.

Well, imagine that i have that card but it seems to be dead or so, when i use an adapter and put it into my laptop's card reader, or i use the USB card adapter i cannot get the card shown in windows explorer of my Win 7 x64.
When i go to Computer Management > Disk Management, the card is not shown on the top window, but on the bottom one, it is shown, but when i right click on it there is nothing i can do except of changing drive letter.
Any ways of reanimating, reformatting the card? I do not care about the data in it, i want the card to be usable. Thanks
Anyone?
you need a update please check your windows update there is ad update for support of sd up 32 GB
Well, the card is 64 GB, not up to 32.
What i mean that this card used to work before, i could transfer files to it, but then after a month i cannot access it
Hello everyone,
I have a basic question, maybe it's stupid, but critical for me because my laptop doesn't have an SD card reader.
Let's say I put a SD card in the phone, and then I plug the phone via USB to my laptop, can I access the SD card content and copy new things like music and photos directly from my laptop to the SD card in the phone?
Thanks for the help if anyone has tried it!

Typically laptops take full size sd cards while the Nord CE 2 takes micro sd cards. You would be better off buying a card reader that you can plug into your laptop's usb socket.

Thanks, but that was not what I wanted to know, sorry I didn't explain well.
I don't want to put the SD or micro SD card in my computer.
If I have a micro SD card in the Nord CE2, and I plug this phone via USB to the computer (just like we do to transfer files to the phone memory), can I access the micro SD card that is into the phone via the file system / explorer ?
Yes you can.
Thanks! Totally buying it then.
