[Q] getting started receiving replacement phone - General Questions and Answers

do i \use the old sd card, or activate like brand new. confused greatly

If you are referring to the external sd card, meaning the memory card you can remove it and you can use it in your new phone.
If you are referring to the SIM card, your replacement phone may come with a new SIM card you should be able to just reactivate it or go to your local straight talk vendor for assistance, or on line...

[Q] 8gb Micro SD card not recognized

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.

"Jumping" SD card

Hi everyone,
I recently came into a weird problem with my desire s. The SD card that is shipped with the phone is literally jumping out of its tray resulting in unexpected SD card removal. End when I try to put it back it keeps ejecting with force and it's only by luck that I finally put it back.
So, I wondered, has anyone had problem with their SD card ? Is it a card or a tray problem ? Should I take the phone to repair (it's still under warranty (sort of, because i'm rooted...)) ?
Weird problem, i suggest to rvert to stock an bring the phone to HTC's cures...
Sent from my S-OFFed Desire S
if you are rooted via HTCdev, you shouldn't have any problems with the warranty.
First off, try using another micro-SD card, and if the problem persists, then it's clearly the tray
I guess this shouldn't be said, but in case you don't have access to another micro-SD card, you can buy a micro-SD card from amazon, try it for 20 days, and then return it and get a full refund, even for the shipping.

[Q] atrix 2 sd card not recognized

I have checked other threads, and this is not the same issue. The phone will say SD card unmounted, or just not think one is inserted.
The first thing I did was switch out the SD card for another class 4 two GB card, and then a class 8 sixteen GB card. Both were checked against other phones, and reformatted in fat32. All of them worked in other phones except for this atrix.
I've tried for over a year to get it fixed under warranty by my carrier says it is the SD card even though I have tried several to no avail.
I have factory restored this phone twice, and there was no change in the SD card status.
I did find a mention that the daughter board that controls the flash, and SD card can go bad. So I tried wiggling it as I inverted the card, and it gave me a new error "blank SD card," and then proceeded to say the card was not there.
So am I correct in assuming that the daughter board is bad, and just spend the $8-20 to replace that microboard?
If you are sure the cards are good, which it sure sounds like they are, I would then say it is for sure a hardware problem, before you go buy a new part and have to open things up, I would check and see if you can fiddle with the pins that contact the card. i.e. bend them too get better contact, or at leas clean the area out. if that doesn't work, a new board aught to do the trick.
From What you just said, I feel that it is either an hardware issue.. check if the slot is clean.
Which version of android are you running? It is possible that it can be a software issue too.(just my guess) try updating to better version.

No SIM

GS5 No SIM card - I put in my Sandisk 64 GB straight from my GS3 and it won't read it. I assume you insert the SD card with leads face down and forward just like all the others but the phone won't recognize it. I am not rooted so can't edit in system. Any help?
