Hi, I recently bought a 2GB MiniSD card for my Treo750v. When I put it into the system it worked fine, I installed some programs and put some music on. Then I left the phone alone for a while and the automatic keylock came on. When I returned to the phone and activated it from keylock the sound that is played when removing the card was heard and it reported that there was no card installed when there clearly was. To return the card to working order i had to remove and re-insert it. After that it was fine until keylock came back on and the same thing happened again!
Anyone got any ideas on why this is doing what it is doing!
Point to note, the card works perfectly in an HP device running WM5 and my Digital Camera!
I am starting to think this is a "problem" with the Treo because mine does the same with a 512mb card. Sometimes it wont be "seen" by the PDA but not a problem when put in my other pda.......

I get the same thing, also with a 2 gig card. But it happens only every other day or so. Still very annoying. Have no clue why this is happening.
I had the same trouble, too. But the trouble has already disappeared by replacement of 2GB mini SD to 1GB mini SD.
Remainning problem is that Spb pocket plus still cannot get application icons on storage card.
Went to a Vodafone store today and told them about the issue. They said it is a known issue and was a problem on a couple devices. They said if I would bring the box and invoice, they would exchange the device. Will do that in the next few days. Hope that solves it.
I have the same problem with my 512mb card and my 2Gig card. But I am in the U.S. and cant bring it in to Vodafone. Does anyone know what else can be done?
I should've did some homework and checked this forum before jumping on my 2GB which I bought 3 days ago. 'doh... I have the same issue here... except in the midst of playing with it, inserting and removing etc... all the data got corrupted. I have to figure out how to reformat the whole card.
Hopefully, there's a software fix later.
Hey
Thanks guys n gals for ur help!
magxs I might have to do the same!!!
Oh bum, silly silly smartphones! I just want something that works!
I've also been having problems with my Treo 750v and the miniSD card (2GB SanDisk Ultra II).
When I insert the card, the Treo sees it and can run programs that are installed on it. When I return the Treo after it has been off for a while the card is no longer recognised and the memory manager claims that no storage card is installed. At this point all I can do is either take the card out and reinsert it, or otherwise to a soft reset. The time it takes for the Treo to loose its connection to the card varies; sometimes I can turn it on after a few minutes and the card is gone, sometimes it still works after a couple of hours.
When I came across this discussion yesterday, I phoned up Vodafone and reported my issue. According to the customer service rep, this is not on their list of known issues but he agreed to an exchange anyway. I'll get the new device today. I hope that'll fix it, but by now have my doubts.
Someone else suggested formatting the SD card, citing issues with FAT16 vs FAT32. I might try that if the new Treo still suffers the same issue.
In another thread on this topic, someone reported that such an issue was observed on some other PPC device and was fixed by a ROM upgrade. I emailed Palm about it. Palm eventually got back to me today saying:
This may occur only with cards that are not Palm branded. If possible please try to use a Palm card to test it.

Either that's a lame excuse, or they're trying to force people into buying their overpriced own branded accessories by making their hardware incompatible with the industry standard. Unless SanDisk don't know how to make miniSD cards...
I guess my next step - after the reformatting - will be to throw £60 at a Palm branded storage card; I don't expect that would work any better than my current card, but at least then Palm can't argue that I'm using "unsupported hardware".
I exchanged my Treo yesterday at a different Vodafone store. The people there didn't know anything about SD card issues either, but they exchanged it anyway. Have been running the new device for about 24 hrs now and no issues, yet. But even on the first device, the problems only started later and even then it wasn't an everyday occurrence. So, I will need to watch it a bit longer.
new rom
Have you tried loading the Cingular ROM and see if it fixes this problem?
After two full days with my new Treo, the SD card was lost again over night. So, it doesn't seem to be an issue that just a few devices were affected by. Too bad....
I didn't try any other ROMs yet.
I have the Cingular ROM, and have the same exact problem.
hi,
i am new to this board and hope you dont mind my bad english. i am from germany and proud owner of a treo 750v
and i tell you what: i am so glad i am not alone with the storage card problem.
it was nearly making me mad.
now i know that there are a lot of other people with the same problem. that may not solve it but gives me a better feeling an hope for an update which solves that.
PS: i use a 1gb sandisk
Well It's working
I bought another MiniSD card the other day, a 512Mb Kingston one, and so far so good, it works well (about 5 days now) and has not been "lost" so far! Not sure if it's the size of card or the make or what but I will keep investigating this!
Hope you resolve your issues!!

What kind of card did you have issues with?
I get the feeling the this might be related to specific cards. To find out: please everybody state which card you are using and if you have problems.
I'm using Sandisk Ultra II 2GB and it's dropping out.
Thanks

i am using sandisc (normal) 1 gb and have the problems.
Card Type
Mine was a generic 2GB card bought on EBAY but the one that is working now is a Kingston 512MB card. The Generic 2GB works perfectly in my Digital camera. There are no Identifying marks on the 2GB card sadly so Cannot say for sure who makes it!
I'm also using a SanDisk Ultra II 2GB, and it's getting dropped regularly.
Sounds like SanDisk is the one to blame.
But would be good to have more reports before we all go out buying new cards. Keep em coming...
Hey everyone. My partner has a I5800 and since I started to root it, after about 3 months its started this "no sim card inserted" or "sim blocked"
Now... I have changed through 4 ROMs. No one saying any problem with that. Is it the phone? I have checked the card and it is in there safe and sound. Please help.
Thanks
Try using the sim card in another phone. If the sim card doesn't work then it's a problem with the sim card.
Take out the SD card and rub it with pencil eraser, then put it back in the phone and reboot. (Worked for me)
Breathing on the contacts before sticking the SIM into phone worked many times for me. Moisture helps reducing the contact resistance. Sounds like a short term solution, but worth a try.
So i needed to change the module board of SIM Card, got one on ebay, opened the phone and replaced the little board with 1 flex conector.
but NOW when i turn on the phone theres no message of "sim card not found" and theres circled slash on where suposed to be network.
am i missing something or i might just screwd it up?
Open it up again and make sure everything in connected correctly and that nothing is shorted.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
ok finally made it.
the thing was that its so damn fragile...o replaced many times the boards in many diferent and sensitive ways...and then one way worked out even though i cannot tell whats the different between the correct position and the other ones that did not recognize the SIM CARD module/board.
Error for me too

I had a similar problem, turned out the replacement tray was bad.
I don't get to say this often but I actually encountered great customer service. I ordered the replacement sim card tray/sdcard holder for a Samsung device on which the sim card reader had been damaged. I received the one piece tray but the sdcard slot was non-functional. I wrote an email pointing out the flaw with no expectations. Got a new part in 2 days. No run around at'all! No 2 hours navigating an automated phone nightmare (Net10/AT&T), just a dang email. I gave em good feedback ratings on their site of course! I don't know if it's allowed but it's so rare to find good folks I feel the need to pimp em.

I just replaced my Sim Card tray. It was working fine.
But for my own safety i re-set the whole phone and re-flashed cm10.1
Phone is working fine. Reading sim, microsd card but sadly i'm stuck on 2g now.
disassembly
I am in having to replace the sim card holder on my skyrocket but I am having trouble finding out how the sim card holder board is attached to the main board,,could someone direct me to some kind of disassembly guide or something
thanks
My phone is just over 1 year old now and I've never had any issues before. A few days ago I would get the message that the SD card was removed unexpectedly when it wasn't, and then it would work for a few hours and repeat. Now, I cannot get either of my 2 micro sd cards to be recognized by my phone. Both these sd cards are able to be read by my pc so I am confident they aren't corrupted or have an issue. Is this most likely an issue with the SD card reader in my phone or somehow the sd cards have been corrupted?

I have the same issue since last month. Tried to flash back to the stock 4.4.2 Rom (From Lollipop) and now the SD cards cannot be even recognized by the phone. My PC can read/write to the SD cards without any issues. It seems it is a common problem for LG G3 phone. Mine is D855 version though.
I just had that problem as well and it ended up with the SIM not being detected as well. Had to get a replacement. I assumed that the SD card/ SIM tray combo was a removeable component - it's not, it's soldered to the phone so I couldn't replace it. (D850) Now, I'm worried that this replacement is going to suffer the same fate... Hopefully later, rather than sooner.

Here is my update:
Sent in my phone to LG to be repaired and after receiving it back I had the same issue. LG claims they replaced the sim/micro sd reader. Then I thought it must be the software, so I downgraded to the stock software from the factory (4.4.1 I believe) and I had the same issue. Annoyed, I told LG they did not fix the issue and sent it to them again with the hope they would replace it but unfortunately I received it back and they claim all they did was update the software (4.1.1 -> 5.0.1) and obviously this did not fix the issue. At this point I simply just don't use a micro sd card anymore because of this annoying issue. Still searching for a solution..
Exactly my problem. So annoying!!! I've got my sim/sd tray replaced and the problem occured for the 2nd time after 2 weeks.
Maybe it has come up before, but I wanted to create a quick thread about this issue, because it has seriously began to getting on my nerves the last couple of weeks.
In the beginning when my phone didn't detect the sim card(s) I simply had to reboot.After that I had to remove the sim card manually and insert them back into the slot.At some point they weren't detected at all.
I searched in the Lenovo forum and found this thread:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G...lus-SIM-card-randomly-disappears/td-p/3543823
For now I've cut out a tiny piece of paper and put it between the sim card and the top side of the slot, rebooted and voila.
My both cards were detected.
I've ordered two adapter, because the method with the paper is provisional at best and hopefully it will solve this until I get a replacement for the cards or buy a new phone.
With best regards
