I have read a lot about SD card issues that deal with not reading 64gb or "try reformatting the card" this is not my issue.
My issue is that when i press gently on the sd card slot when the sd card is inserted, I get an error stating that the sd card was unexpectedly removed as if the connection was shorting out.
Anyone else notice this issue? I don't want to return my phone if it is a common hardware build quality issue.
I need a few volunteers to simply take off the battery cover and (with the phone on) gently press down on the sd card slot and report if the phone reports that the sd card was unexpectedly removed. This way we can test if this is a common hardware/build quality issue or if it is specific to my phone.
Report back here!
Much thanks!
no problems here. 32gb class 10, blue 32gb phone.

Hi all,
My apologies if this has already been covered but i have a question regarding the removeable but not removeable storage within a HTC Mozart 7.
Ive pulled the phone apart previously a long time ago and had a 16 kingston class 2 Micro SD installed and it caused alot of freezes and crashes and as such i removed it and placed the existing sandisk 8gig class 4 Micro SD card back into my phone, Ive been using this fine for quite a while and the time has come where i either have to remove all my pictures and movies (Back them up of course) in order to keep using the phone as i have run out of space. This isnt something i want to do as i like to have the pictures and movies on the go with me like they should be so i can access them whenever i want. Ive started using skydrive to store my pictures to make room on my phone so i can use it. Anyhow as im getting off topic i`ll get to the point. I purchased a Genuine Sandisk 32gig Class 4 microsd card before the release on mango in the hopes it would work and it subsequently didnt. I therefore email HTC support asking them for a list of what cards are supported and strangly enough they did respond. With this
Here are the brand names of SD card and its storage that are compatible with HTC handsets. We have tested these and we can guarantee its functionality. You may use one of these to your phone. Please see the list below:
BRAND SIZE
ADATA 4GB, 8GB, 16GB
Kingston 4GB, 16GB
PQI 16GB
Pretec 4GB, 8GB
SanDisk 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB
SILICON POWER 4GB, 8GB, 16GB
Transcend 4GB, 8GB, 16GB
As there is no mention of the 32gig card being supported i took it out. im now trying to install a 16gig kingstone class 4 card and when i boot the phone i get the error "Memory card not working". so i thought i`d try the old 16 gig class 4 card and got the same message. Its worked before but i have a feeling that it may not be working now as it was used with the old OS and not with 7.10 so my phone no longer detects it. Anyway does anyone have any ideas on how i can get the 16 gig or 32gig class 4 cards to work with my phone? Do i maybe need to jailbreak it to make it support higher cards?
Any answers would be helpful
Solved
For those wondering themselves how to do this (Mango Update). Basically follow your guide to removing the old SD card and input the new one, ive had problems with kingston class 2 cards and bought a genuine sandisk 32gig class4 card which is now working and installed in my HTC Mozart.
After installing the new card and booting your phone you get a message "Memory card not working" whereas with the old original OS you got prompted to format (looks like M$ changed that feature). So what you need to do is power off the power and holding down both up and down on the volume keys power on the device. You`ll get prompted with a 2 options.
Volume Up - CRC checking ( i think)
Volume Down - Factory reset
NOTE-this will wipe your phone completly. If you havnt done a zune backup i STRONGLY advise you do this before attempting this.
Press down and you will see a message advising "Reset Complete". Power off the phone and turn it back on and the phone will restart in "First Run" mode. Once you have completed all the steps you should see the OS booted up. Check Settings\About\More Information and you should now see your new size depeding on the size of the SD card you`ve installed.
Hello. Recently just got a 8gb class 6 micro sd card for my HTC Desire (CDMA). When I put the card it it's not being picked up by the phone. Not giving me any kind of error message in the notification bar, just acts like no SD card is installed. My previous card was an 8gb class 2 card that came with the phone, so I know it can do high capacity. Threw the card in a card reader and re-formatted it FAT32, still nothing. Tried putting the card in a friends Samsung Galaxy and it picked up fine. Also my old card still works when I put it back in the phone, so I'm truly stumped here. The phone is rooted but Im not running any custom roms..
Well i think the problem in in your phone. Maby some dust on those golden pins or something you cound try another card to check if its the card or phone itself.

My old card works fine in my phone, and the new card worked in a friends phone, and on my PC. Tried re-formatting (FAT32 and FAText) and naming the volume. For some reason my phone just won't pick it up. No error messages or anything, just acts like there is no micro sd card in it.
I was having issues with my phone reporting unexpected SD removal lots. After a little playing i found that a little pressure to the left of the flash would make it happen.
I have since sent my phone back to Vodafone UK for repair. They seemed to have replaced some components that has fixed the issue.
Card. 32GB Samsung Class 10
Before sending your phone for this repair i would recommend testing several cards (a small basic class 4 or something) and formatting them in the phone.
I found "play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sdcardmonitor" very useful for logging the removals. (sorry not allowed urls yet)
Hope this helps someone else spot a faulty slot when everyone blames the card.

My sd card slot would not click when i was trying to put a verbatim 32gb class 10 microsd card and it would not read the card, but when i used a class 4 16gb sandisk it clicked perfectly and it reads the card normally without any issues, i believe this is a matter if cards you have to find the perfect one haha

Hi guys last week i factory reseted my phone with SD card in, nothing seemed to happen, but the SD card was "Read only" and i couldn't delete any files so I formatted in my phone, all my files were gone but i got them back because i had backups on my mac. Thing is when i popped it in, it said 'Damaged SD Card" and it could not be mounted. I tried rebooting, taking it out then back in, nothing. I own a Samsung galaxy Note 2, Non-rooted, and a Lexar class 10 SD card with 16 gb. I heard this problem was consistent with Sandisk cards but never heard of any problems with lexar cards.
Does anyone else have an issue with there phone telling you that your SD card is slow ?
I had a Sandisk 64gb Micro SD card and when i formatted it to use it as internal storage it told me the card appears to be slow and some apps may become juddery....
So i purchased a Sandisk Extreme Class 10 64gb memory card but get exactly the same message, am i missing something ?
Cheers

I seem to have the same problem except I don't have the option to go ahead and format it. It says: SD card too slow for use as internal storage. This SD card is too slow for use as internal storage.
To format an SD card as internal storage, try using an UHS Speed Class 3 SD card. This was with a Samsung Evo Class 10 SD card. I then went and got a UHS speed class 3 SanDisk Extreme card like it specifies and I still get the same error. It won't let me go ahead and format it.
