Hey,
i screwed it up somehow. my phone doesn't work anymore.
After installing the memory card and a hard reset it stops working during the installation.
it just says:
Code:
"INSTALLING APPS
A few more applications still need to finish installing. It should just take another moment or two."
i wait 40mins before i removed the batterie.
after this i try to restore my phone with zune to the NoDo restore point.
failed with error code: 80180090
But the phone restarts normally and my phone recognizes the 16Gb card.
but it doesn't feel smooth anymore. (for example it takes a long time to start enter the settings)
i was also able to connect my phone to zune.
Zune recognizes my sd card as well but when i try to sync Musik it throws an error (C00D124D) after a few songs.
it tryed a softreset but the result is still the same.
right now it shows the
Code:
"INSTALLING APPS
A few more applications still need to finish installing. It should just take another moment or two."
again
it is a vicious circle...
any other ideas?

Newegg's comments on the microSD 32 GB cards they offer rate the cards very low in general. Appearently quality assurance on these cards, or the cards themselves, are extremely flaky. Put the card in your PC and run a stress tester on it.
As for your original 16 GB that seems to be worse, try a hard reset. When changing the cards around, that could have something to do with it.
I used the 32GB card linked in my sig. It actually came in a red package that says for mobile devices. It also appears to be the EXACT same card as the 16GB that came in the phonem only difference is the capacity.
0 issues whatsoever, seems every bit as fast as stock if not a bit faster.
I had such problem with my old 16Gb Kingston Class 2. There were no any problems with installing apps, but phone was not smooth. And there were some problems with syncing Music, it was taken a long of time, and sometimes there were problems during the process.
So, I've installed my original SD 8Gb card, made another hard reset. Now it looks smooth and sync is fast. I decided not to change card anymore, but buy mp3 player with 32 or 64 Gb of memory. Because I don't like how this phone is playing music.
I've purchased a Wintech 32 GB microSD card from Newegg and plan on installing it in this, when I get my tri-wing screw driver set. So I'll let you know how that turns out.
Until then, I've ran just about every stress test I can find against it - and it has no issues. Note: I am not going to do a full format like others are, that seem to have issues in the long run. I am going to use it as the card came.
EDIT: Don't buy the Wintech for WP7.
i managed to bring my phone back to life by simply replacing the new card (Toshiba microSD card 16GB class 4) with the original card.
But 8 GB is a mess i will try it later with another sdcard.
Did anyone could recommend a 16GB/32GB card from a retailer in germany/europe?

For the record, I had issues as well with my 32 GB upgrade.
After some research, I now see that you should not be getting the highest class card. You need to focus on random access times. The Sandisk 32 GB microSDHC really is the card to get perhaps. Still a bet.
I'm ebaying my Wintect 32 GB class 10 to some Android user. For our WP7, it's all about how quickly you can find the fragmented data - not how fast you can read the data. Think, "need to find it fast enough, or the phone will reboot".
I just bought a new 16GB microsd card for my Huawei U8100. Since I got it my phone has been lagging. It would constantly freeze, especially when switching to next song in the music player.
I checked to see if it is fake, but it is real, has full 16GB at class 6. I first noticed the problem when using a custom ROm with swap and ext partitions on it, phone was incredibly slow, now it is bearable when I used the swapper app.
What can I do? Is the microsd card broken? I checked and it says my phone can handle 16GB, no idea what is going on here.
I was going to post this in response to a couple of people in the development sections but my post count is too low so I'll post it here instead.
The SD slot in this phone seems to have an issue with corrupting SD cards, I've had to format both my old and new SD card multiple times with this phone as it becomes unusable every few days. I'm not versed enough in hardware to know if this is a bad connection between the SD slot and the "motherboard" of the phone. I've seen a number of people have their SD cards go bad with this phone and I assume that means we had a manufacturing issue. It would be really cool if a hardware hacker experiencing this issue could take a look inside and confirm whether or not the hardware is connected correctly.
Well, perhaps there's a high number of bad readers....
I've had the same card in my Q since the day I got it (mid-September), no issues.
Mine wouldn't read the day I swapped up from My Epic 4g Touch to This phone, So I popped in an sd reader backed up my data then let the Moto format it, no issues sence
Curious to know what class of card you guys are running. I've been running a Patriot class 10 but my previous was a class 4 without branding that came with my old Transform.
I'm really hoping that I just had my old SD card die at a bad time and that my newer SD card was just sent bad. Today I couldn't get the card to read from the SD slot in my computer, and it would not be cool if my phone caused it to become that way.

Class 10 Maxell

No issues here. I tossed the crappy class 2/4 that shipped with my Epic long ago.
Well I found an extra class 4, 2 GB SD card lying around the house when I was cleaning today. It may be that the local shipment of phones was bad, so if this SD card goes on me then I'll try exchanging the phone in another town just to be safe.
Just out of curiosity does anyone know whether Sprint orders enough phones for replacements with their original shipments? I'm not from a very large town so I'd imagine they would keep replacing with phones from the same batch.
I've got a Samsung 32GB class 10 mSD.
Nearly everytime I reboot my Photon Q it says "SD Card is damaged".
Go into settings, Mount SD Card once or twice and it works.
I've read, that other Android Devices have also problems with that size of SD Cards. (Google)
I had also problem in recovery restoring a backup, the restore process didn't went correctly
(said that everything was fine), had to use my 2GB mSD, which worked nicely and the backup also.
So I think it's an android/kernel issue than a hardware issue.
I have noticed that I get the corrupt sdcard error everytime I try to use the "mass storage" or "media device" setting with Windows.
I use Ubuntu 99% of the time and leave it connected in "camera" mode, have never had that pop up like that...
I usually just use ADB to copy everything anyway so I do not miss the "mass storage" mode at all.
Just had a 16gb class 10 microcenter branded card go belly up on me. Phone just all of a sudden said it was removed and now nothing seems to recognize the thing. The mount option is completely greyed out, and does the same on my note 10.1 if i pop it in there.
When your cards have gone did they completely disappear and refuse to read?

I wonder if it's the c10 cards...
You guys really shouldn't be using high class cards in a phone - there's really no benefit, as phones use SD card's very differently from camcorders or cameras...
On my ooooold phone, anything above Class6 was bad juju. I have always had class4 or lower cards, no fried cards (yet... lol)
kinda what I am feeling too. Not sure what class card I have but it was just a cheap 32gb from wallmart... Only had that error pop up once with this one though, and that was after trying to use usb storage.

Class 10 shouldn't make a difference to a device. The class/speed only comes in to play when transferring data from/to a computer, which will be faster on Class 10 vs Class 4 or 6.

As best as I can tell, thats a negative. Ive been running with a 32GB class 10 since around when the phone was released, and Ive had no issues. Quite surprising on its own, seeing as I abuse the poor thing. True that class 10 arnt useful for the phone specifically, but some shops only carry class 10 cards.
@hfase
I dont seem to have any issues with mass storage, with ~1GB written a day. Im quite curious as to why some people have this issue.

Maybe it's all down to the quality of the actual card itself?
Perhaps the cheaper no-name / off-name brands have a much higher failure rate....?
I'm not really sure, short of actual hardware issues on the device.
AW: Your SD card likely isn't the problem
Well here is my experience:
I am using a new san disk 32GB class10 micro sdcard. It was never format ed/ used before. The q itself formated the disk.
I have had no problems until using the twisted asanti prebuild
Version. Since then I only got problems with the qu saying the sdcard would be corrupt, after reboot. ( I expected some additional wired things, like the currents widget, which I deleted before reboot reappeared). So I would suggest it is an error in un mounting the sdcard before shutdown, which causes this failure.
Since I usually do not reboot the phone expect for flashing new roms, I had no trouble since then.
Hope this might help to further circle the problem, and maybe find a solution for this.

Since CM10 I haven't noticed any SD-Card issues, but I have the feeling, that there are some issues, which aren't detected.
In the last few days my CM10 was acting weird.
1. The gallery (together with the camera app, 2in1 app) disappeared in the App Drawer (was still in /system/app) and didn't appear again after overwriting gallery2.apk again.
2. The Google Weather App had a graphical issue, so I was sure, that there was a flash issue by restoring ASA14 and flashing CM10 (from SD-Card!).
I solved this issue in copying the nandroid backup and CM10 to the phone and flash it from there.
I have tested my SD-Card in my external cardreader, it had no issues in doing so.
My guess is, that the SD-Card needs more power than the Photon Q can give and is losing some read/write commands.

I think This may have hit the nail on the head. I have had a couple cheap discount cards die but they really died. Cant even read in the PC and one even got really hot when plugged in. Got a good branded card from amazon and havent had a problem since.

I've used better Samsung and Sandisk cards and have had this issue. It just randomly wipes all my data and creates the LOST.DIR with it all in there, but file names are all renamed and would takes years to sort through and try to figure out what is what. All my photos, music, etc.. were basically gone then. It didn't matter that the card was a name-brand or not. I've had the issue with several cards.
I constantly have this problem as well, and I've found that mounting the SD card with a reader or in another phone in a Linux environment fixes it for the most part. I think files still get lost, but you get most of what you had back.
I got a 32GB UHS1 card last week and it hasn't had a problem.

I changed back to my old Class4 sd card. Did some test on this new class10 SD card, has no problem at all.
Is it because it's 32GB? Should I use a 8GB instead? Please help.
Hello!
I'm not sure, but i read alot about people getting trouble with a 32gb SD. Maybe do the partition again, something might have gone wrong.
Hope it helps,
- Rinse
Hello,
The first partition must be FAT32, than you can create the second partition in EXT4 format, I think.
Insert in pc, restore to defaults, format, then do as you please!
Huh, strange - I have same card, but 16GB.
In my tablet it is working without a problem. But in desire - I was trying for 5 days to make it working - without luck Random freezes, FC, phone dead (had to remove battery to power it on).
I tried diffrent roms - didn't work. Tried to format it (in 4ext), zero it (on pc with card reader), partition it again with diffrrent partition sizes (1.5GB, 1GB, 512MB) - nope.
Card is ok (as I said - in tablet it's working) - but my desire don't like it So I'm still on 2GB class -500 and thinking what to buy (8GB class 10 ? what manufacturer - adata, kingston? )
is 32gb working on htc desire?
SanDisk cards are known to cause the problems you described with the HTC Desire. I had a SanDisk 8 GB card too, and exactly the same problems... the solution is to not use SanDisk cards.

No it ain't...... My Desire lags as hell when I use the 32 GB class 10 Kingston card... Works on my QMobile Q3i.... Dunno how...
are you sure UHS-1 cards like these sandisk ultra are compatible with desire ?
Hi,
I'm using a sandisk card too, i do have a lot of problems with my HTC Desire.. can't use the phone anymore for daily use.
Freeze by phone calls, have to reboot 3 times before it's good and well started up.
Maybe SanDisk is the problem? Can someone confirm this? But why do they liver SanDisk by buying the phone then?

I have the same card I picked up last fall and have the same problem. I'm going to try it out in a DSLR to see if it works there. My old card is a class 8 Adata (I think, might be Kingston) and started to randomly corrupt the fat partition, loosing all data and requiring a full reformat (which is why I got the Sandisk in the first place). So I can use a card that makes my phone completely useless as a phone or use a card that randomly looses all of my data. I should probably get a new card. On the upside I have become prolific at backing up my data. Also worth noting is that the Sandisk card is fast while it's runing.
I'm using SanDisk ultra 16gb uhs-1 for a couple of months now, didn't have any such trouble. could pvt version of desire be connected with that? Mine is pvt3
I'm also pvt3. I'm also rooted, s-off, use a2sd, no change with mounts2sd, and tried different ROMs (ICS, JB 4.1 & 4.2).
It seemed to only happen while using a heavy app if the phone was bogged down with multiple apps. To rule out a power supply voltage drop I replaced the battery. Although replacing my two year old battery was a good upgrade, it did not fix
the issue.
Everything I've tried points to a SD card issue so it is interesting to hear that it may only effect the 32GB UHS-1 cards. Samsung isn't as readily available around here so I may try the 16GB version but I'd prefer the upgrade to 32GB capacity. The card was phenomenally fast while the phone remained stable so I'd take speed over capacity. I just haven't seen mention of this problem with other 32GB cards.

If partitioning with 4ext recovery and cleaning the sd port in your phone (blow some compressed air into it, with phone powered off and let it regain normal temperature before powering back on) won't help, try sending the card back to SanDisk, in my country they give lifetime warranty for their cards. But first you gotta make sure your desire is intact hardware wise.
You might also test your card with tools like crystal disk mark and see if it gives up when strained.

Exactly that was my experience.
I got the SanDisk (Class 2, 4GB) which came along with the HTC Desire and bought a new SanDisk for mobile devices a few months ago (Class 6, 8GB). Both are working fine if I don't partitoning the cards/don't use A2SD - the phone won't freeze, etc.
If I partition these cards (method doesn't matter, tried CWM, GParted and another tool [don't know the name]) the phone is going to freeze randomly and on 2G network every time. My HTC Desire is PVT1. I rooted and flashed two PVT3 and one PVT4 devices as well and aligned their cards - no problems at all. No freezes, everything is running pretty good. So I have no idea.
The last months my phone barely run, it was freezing all the time. Even some ROMs which were running very great 2 years ago didn't run again (My boyfrriend said the problems occured because I was flashing it too often... But I can't believe that ).
I wasn't able to figure out what's wrong, so I decided to buy a HTC One.
I guess it's some hardware related issue?

Picked up a high-speed MicroSD card and formatted it in my moto z. My device gets hot and full charge battery only lasts about three hours. When I remove the MicroSD card everything goes back to normal.
Using custom kernel and prerooted stock rom.
Anybody having any issues like mine or can shed some light on how to fix the issue? Thanks!
happened to me in moto x force and moto z
with 128gb lexar (works flawlessly on samsung tab a)
changed to sandisk uhs-i and no problems
might be moto is picky when it comes to sd cards
Yep this is a lexar card. Was on sale for $100. I guess I'll have to return it. Thanks for letting me know.
I went back to stock encrypted and it seemed to fix the issue.
don't count on it
Just FYI...
I've a 128 GB 1000x Lexar on my Moto Z with stock kernel and no issues with it... :fingers-crossed:
So another update, turns out Android sucks at indexing and it was constantly scanning my 5800 FLAC files all the time. 100% battery would go to 10% in just under three hours, it had nothing to do with it being a lexar card!
Solution? I put a .nomedia file in my music folder and enabled my music player to ignore that and it scans my whole library with ease. I went to work at 8:30 am today and just got home (6:18 pm) and my battery is still at 85%.

Really a weird issue...
I've my MP3 and videos on my SD card and I've noted no issue with them...
I've tried multiple high speed UHS-I cards, and formatted as internal, but all of them were either flagged by the phone as "too slow and might affect performance" or gave me heat and battery life issues.
And it would take five minutes after a reboot to show all app icons, or apps would lose login passwords, games lost saves and other annoying issues.
Formatting it as external storage, and just setting the camera to record directly to it works fine though.
Someone from Xiaomi actually said they're not adding or supporting MicroSD as internal due to them always having issues apparently. And it seems to be true.

Probably! :laugh:
Btw, another reason to not use it formatted as internal storage, is the immense power requirements MicroSD can spend at max write speed.
According to Wikipedia, as much as 100mA, which really explains why the phone heats up when it's formatted that way. And that doesn't include the consumption of the sd card controller.

It didn't matter how I had it formatted before it was still getting super hot. Now that I haven't been using it, the issue must have been Android trying to index all the files as it's been running fine all week now that I have that .nomedia file in my music folder.

And at last... I had issues too!
On sdcard I store TWRP backups (no issues...), Titanium backups (no issues...), Maps (no issues...) and.... Pics & videos... and here I begin to see some weird behaviour...
First I saw Gallery had difficulties on showing pics thumbnials if I go fast between them... then it begins to show some "damaged" pics... at last I saw Camera app begins to crash just after taking a pic... (set to save on sdcard...)
So, I removed sdcard, connected to a PC and copied all files... The copy requested A LOT of time since of read difficulties, BUT all files was ok at last. :highfive:
Then I formatted sdcard and extensively tested with h2testw with no issues and constant speed.
So I formatted again and copied all files back in.
Then I've found a way to have it working fine with Moto Z... (I think... :fingers-crossed
Problem is that Moto Z is set to use a too small cache size for modern sdcards (128 KB) and this probably generate sync issues (and when this happens I saw CPU go wild and phone become warm... in a very similar way with Windows when it is having issues with USB keys... )
So I installed "SD-booster" app from Play Store (yes, it requires root...) and used it to resize cache to a more suitable value of 2048 KB and I haven't had any issue since then... more, my gallery has never been so fast scrolling and taking a LOT of pics in seconds or slow motion video isn't an issue at all now...

I'm using a Samsung Evo 128go and I have no issue
So, I currently only use my 128gb Samsung UHS1 card for external storage only because of the issues other have experienced using it as internal. Not sure if it's on anyone's radar but Sandisk just announced a new micro sd card made specifically to be able to handle the read/write requirements.
