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 had bought a 16 gb micro sd and it's been like 4 month and in this 4 month my memory card corrputed like 10 times
today my memory card corrupted because i was playing blood and glory and after half an hour phone turned off and when i turned it back on nothing showed checked my app in manage and it showed all my app are corrupted can any one tell me how can i stop my memory card from corrupting because i don't want to keep moving 16 gb files every after 2-3 weeks plyus it's annoying
please help me with this because i really dont want this to happen
i'm using class 10 microsd that's has it no name on it

It might just be a naff uSD card. I've had a couple of cards fail totally (Nokia, Desire & Sensation). The general advice seems to be to buy a uSD card made by recognised manufacturer (e.g. SanDisk).
On the other hand you say: "after half an hour phone turned off". Was it a complete power off in the middle of playing the game ? If so it might be fair enough if it's part way through writing stuff to the uSD card.
Has it been the same situation each time prior to having the corruption ?

Hmm,
1) mostly for no reason, no idea.
2) forgot to safe eject from the PC. Well we know the possible reason for that.
3) probably the same issue as 2) just on the phone instead of the PC.
1 ?? Might just be a card on the threshold of failing.
2 & 3 are probably due to the fact that the device was still being written to when it was suddenly not there. FAT can be a bit sensitive like that.
Try to unmount your SD card, take it off phone then put it in again, reboot.
Hope this helps!
My wife's sensation did the same thing, I had to take out the SD and put it into my SD card reader on my laptop, format it and then put it back in the phone. The phone then wanted to format it again which it did and now it seems fine.
By the way, the data was intact when I put it in my SDcard reader. I was able to back up the data before I formatted it.
i say quickly buy another 16gig micro sd for $8.00!!!
im trying not to advertise here but this is a deal that cant be missed, and i have order from this site so i can vouch its a legit site too thats where i got my 32ig for 20 bucks

Not sure if this has been covered but my phone is giving me false SD card readings. My card was reading at 11gb free space and now it reads 8gb free space. it's done this before, telling me I have less available memory.
i'm running HyperNonSense by Spider running Bricked Kernel. Anyone witness this or is this a sensation thing? Thanks.
i'd tried couple of roms and something similar happen to me, like bad mounting sd card or something like that. I don't remember exactly which rom it was but i'm pretty sure it was more than a different one. i just restart my phone and everything goes fine
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.
So about a month ago my HTC 8x started a continuous reboot problem. Not having any time that day I went to Verizon and had them switch my service back to my old Iphone. My plan was to address the problem at a later date. I did a little bit of reading and from what I gathered I was going to have to do phone reset. That was not a viable option because I had alot of pictures of my 8 month old on that phone. I had saved some of the pictures to the cloud but there was still alot that was not backed up.
One day I decided to to take the phone apart to see if I could find the phones internal memory. Now I'd say I am fairly tech savvy but I probably should have done some more research first in regards to this phone....man what a pain. Long story short the screen is cracked, the phone wont power on at all. I don't care about the phone but I do the pictures that are on it. I was wondering if anyone on this forum knows of a way in which I can remove the internal memory of this phone. What type of memory does this phone have, where is it located, how can I get to it, and how can I get it onto my computer without having the reassemble this phone. I am aware that this phone does not have a removable internal memory card, but I have not found any info on what type of internal memory it has...is it solid state, built in sim ect...
-Daniel
Any info would be appreciated
