Please I need some help , i will be gratefull and thankfull

Are you sure you are pushing the microSD card in the slot deep enough? If I don't push using my nail, my card also jump.
The card slot have two positions, locked and unlock, maybe by some previous unsuccessful try you left it locked and the card jumped, I have faced this problem before, all you need to do is to push the card in the slot again, since it's locked, the card won't go in, but It will unlock and you need to push again and the slot will hold the microSD.
Yeah, I hate that too. By the way, does it mess up the usd card if I mess up and don't push it deep enough?
Shouldn't mess up the card if not pushed in all the way, it just won't work. Wonder what the record is for these cards flying out, I've had mine go 4-5 feet
First Thanks a lot for your help i really appreciated it, I tried so hard to push it in, but it looks like the resilience spring doesn't work well, i changed the microsd card but it didn't work either.

i had this very VERY strange thing happen. On my universal i upgraded it to WM6.1. I was very nervous about bricking my phone at first, but everything went well, and i used my phone for about 6 months. Then all of a sudden, i'm walking down the street one day, and i get a phone call, and my phone decides to turn on the "Low Battery alarm" at the same time i pickup the call...
My phone completely freezes, and so i reboot my phone, and i get this "No SIM card" error. Which, i know there is a SIM card in there, because i didn't take it out, and it was working just fine only 30 seconds prior.
So, i went home, swapped out the SIM card to one of my old SIM cards (a number from a previous city) and viola! No SIM Card error.
Something happened to my phone at that moment in time and just like FRIED my SIM card. So, easy solution, i just go and get a replacement SIM card. Ok , DONE.
....Happy pimpin with my HTC Univeral, right?... WRONG....
At the same time this happened, my SD card slot just seemed to STOP working. Which is really weird. I even tried enabling some system background processes and whatnot, ...basiclly turning EVERY process on. But that still had no effect.
And i can do almost nothing useful with this device now except for make phone calls and do SMS. Having a large brick in my pocket just for phone calls is a bit of an overkill i think.
So , any suggestions? How do i get my SD card working again.
BTW, i'm in china, and every repair shop that i went to REFUSES to touch any HTC phone. There seems to be a massive education gap. But if i had a nokia phone it would be no problem for them....
*sigh* STUPID CHINKS!
*grunts*
any thoughts on how to solve this problem with the SD Card?

Hi welcome to forum and well you can try to flash another rom and see if it works or not.. if it doesn't then might be hardware problem...
i'm downloading the original WM5 ROM now, and will try to reflash it tonight. I really never needed WM6, except for when i was at university (here in china), they had a problem with the CAT5 cabling, and had to redo all of it. And so the entire dorm was out of internet for 1 month. So i used my phone as a WiFi router to share my 3G data connection with my notebook. For some reason, the software would only work properly with WM6... *sigh*....
now i have a 3G Net card for my notebook....hehe
^_^
Details please?
Which ROM?
What SD card?Make?Capacity?
How is battery working?
Did you try ANY other cards?
Did you try formatting it?
Because SD cards getting corrupt is a very comman thing.
I did lost three 4GB SD cards last year and one 8GB SDHC. ( all made in China )
So I know how it feels.
Damaged SIM...it never happened to me.
As a rule in china... NEVER under any circumstances buy anything without a warrenty. HAHA. I've been here for like 4 years. But with that aside...
i can put the same SD card in my computer, and it reads just fine.
I have even changed from formatting it as FAT32 to FAT16, and still it doesn't register.
I have had the same problems with the 4GB cards too. Unless they're really high quality, they're kinda crappy and prone to defect. However, the card(s) that i have are low capacity. 512 MB, and 2 GB. So there wouldn't be any issues with the capacity of them being too large.
Ok, this sucks....when i try to reflash my phone back to WM5,.....it says i have the wrong image ERROR code 100 i think it is.
But i downloaded the Factory image from this forum for WM5.
I have WM6.1 on it now, so....how do i downgrade? Just reflash?
BTW, this is an English Language Version. So that shouldn't be too conflicting.

have a look on the Wiki
Perhaps using the MTTY app can help you
Good luck,
i found the reason why it failed....that rom is not ENGLISH
my SD card dissapered on my UNI when my battery got old. it seems it just didnt have enough power. I put an old SD card in and that works but i got a new battery within a week.
whenever my universal didn't have enough power for the SD card , it would sound the low battery alarm, and then tell me it didn't have enough power for the SD card.
I would think that if i can still run wifi for 40 minutes or so (on a full charge), there should be enough amps in the battery to turn on the SD card....at least...one would think *grin*
Ok, well, i somehow managed to get my phone flashed to WM5......using the German WM5 ROM mind you
It's actually not in german, everything is in english. Anyways, whenever i put an SD card in, it still doesn't show up.
The IO conctroller used in Uni usually never die.
I would suggest you to unmount the device, use a hot air gun on the SD socket connector and nearest different points.
regards
Got me a Gtab today and the micro sd card wont stay in. I push it in all the way, with the contacts to the back of the device and she just keeps popping out. I tried another card and it did the same.
Whats the trick to keep the micro sd card in the slot ?
David
There is no trick - once you insert it all the way in, it should "click" into place. You might actually have a defective device.

Push it further into the slot by a couple of millimeters, below the top of the slot.
Then you will here the "click".
Thanks...that worked! Used something to push it in further than my nail could reach and she stayed in.
Thanks guys
I have the same issue. At first I thought it wasn't being pushed in far enough, but even bottomed out it would not click. I have a friend who had the same problem and his magically worked one time and he hasn't taken it out since.
I found that if I come in at a little bit of an angle I can hear a very quiet snap, then when I take it back out and put it in normally I get the normal click and it stays put. I have repeated this numerous times. It is almost like the internal clip sticks to the side and needs to be convinced to pop back out a bit so the card can actually engage it.
Of course this is all conjecture, I have no clue how the locking mechanism actually works nor can I see in the slot well enough to see if there is something funny going on in there. So my observation is purely touch, feel and sound based. I would be interested if anyone has a different opinion or suggestion as I'm a bit afraid to pop the card for fear it will not go back in the next time.
I've had several GTAB's and never had a problem, but it takes a bit of trial and error to get it just right. The sad part is that they could have moved the mechanism just a bit and allowed the SD to protrude, and it probably would have fixed this problem.
I can't cut my nails, for fear that I won't be able to get the darn thing out.

I used a screwdriver to get mine in. You really have to push it in quite a bit farther than you would think necessary to get it to lock.
One word......toothpick. Does the job nicely, cheap and disposable. Plus, you can walk around looking like Dusty Baker.
Received my tab and everything seems to be going great except when I attempted to insert my Micro SD card. The card never seems to click in and I have tried 3 different cards.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a known malfunction?
The card goes in quite far before it locks.. I needed to use a mechanical pencil point to get it ti seat well.
I just had the same issue, then was able to get it to stay in by having my daughter use the tip of her long fingernail to push it in. It finally clicked & locked. I hope this helps!
Well you have just made me blush, problem solved and boy do I feel stupid.
Thank you, I was about to contact woot which would have put a damper on my day.
Man I've been having problems since day one. I've had it for a couple of days now and I'm so frustrated that I'm thinking of going back to my LGV10 and returning it back. At first I was super excited to open up the package but then......
1st problem...
Wasn't able to install the SD card and sim card. I kept on trying to install it but it would jump out of its slot and fall off. With the weight of the phone I had to also not just try to insert the cards but try to not drop the phone while juggling to balance it.
2nd problem.....
SD card doesn't read...
I have a 200gb SD I had on my V10 so I thought I could just pop it in and enjoy me some movies on this big screen and enjoy some music but Nope, it doesn't seem to want to read it and making me reformat it. I don't think so.
I installed a new one. Had to format it and thought I could transfer files to it and..
3rd problem.....
No OTG..... I didn't know that I tried to manually install some files and no luck.
Oh yeah I dropped it already also but good thing it was on the carpet.
I really really like the phone so I there's anything anyone can help me with I would be much appreciated .
Thanks and sorry I had to vent..
This phone could be great, but it really needs some dev love. If it could be unlocked and rooted I really think a custom rom could make this phone really shine. Maybe in the near future. For now I went ahead and ordered the Zenfone 3 Ultra. Going to spend the next week comparing the two. If I can get over the lack of LTE and the Zenfone has better user experience I will probably return the Lenovo.

I had a 7" display phablet. It had simcard instructions printed on the back shipping plastic. I kept the plastic on because it was a very handy reminder and was hidden by the case anyway. The way I did the simcard in Slot 1 and the sdcard in Slot 2 was to keep the phone flat on its face on a table. Open the slots one at a time... Install the cards... The table made it so easy!!! My simcard had to go into a plastic adapter to make it the right size and it was a real juggling act before I tried this - it also aids in not losing the teenie cards. They land right on the table. Now, it's possible that you have to put the phone on its back on the table... It just depends on the orientation of the card in the tray and the tray in the slot!!! Don't let that be the reason why you return the phone! Try it!!!
Another thing, I am not a techie but a few people here have mentioned that our old sdcard format doesn't work in this phone. They have (usually) purchased a new card (which I'm going to do once I get lucky enough to get this phone in my hands!) and reformatted it to work in this phone and then transferred the data from the old card onto the new one... I am not a techie so I am still going to research this different format... I still have some questions about whether my pc card reader reads that format or do I need to get a reader? Are a lot of newly released phones changing the sdcard format? Why would they request the new format? But I am not letting that stop me... I really want this phone. In my area the Chinese phones don't give good MMS text performance or I would be doing an ASUS Zenphone 3 Ultra!!!

Yeah I figured out the card inserts & I also installed a brand new SD card. I format it to how it was suppose to be and I installed one song. Took me forever just for that one song. I just hope to figure it out before it's to late to return. Just want to be happy with it if you know what I mean lol.. Thank you
I have just bought a u12 plus and sometimes the camera loads fine other times it takes up to 30 seconds to load, other times it fails to open at all. I'd rather not have to send it back after spending the day setting it up but I use the camera a fair bit. Something simple to fix or RTB? Spotify also won't behave either freezing or not loading. I moved my memory card from my old u11 to this phone, any connection? Thank you in advance for any help...
Not good form to reply to my own post but... Card works in a reader on laptop so contents copied, card reinserted into phone, formatted but still playing up in the phone. Is there a way to determine if its a problem with the phone reading the card or just the card itself? Cheers...
Try factory reset ,it solves some problems for me after otas.
Thanks for the reply (Awesome username btw !). I really was hoping to avoid this after taking most of the day to get it how I wanted it tbh. I've ordered a new card to see if this does the trick as it appears to work fine without one inserted & I tried re-formatting in both the phone & the laptop but it failed on both attempts leading me to point towards the card. I hope not to have to but will use the Hard Reset as a last resort after testing the card when it arrives. Thanks for looking in and taking the time to try & help, appreciate it...
Memory card was the issue in case anyone else experiences this...
