how do you remove the card, i have a 4gig one which i put in my new kaiser last night, i just went to remove it to put some more stuff on it, but it wont come out, the old varioII model you used to be able to push it in and it would spring out, this one does not appear to be doing that.. anyone else got issues or is my unit broke already ?
it reads in the phone ok as 4gig so it is working...
any help appreciated.
right got memory card out but it was a struggle, is it supposed to be spring loaded ? as mine definately is not ?
I have the same trouble with a Sandisk 4GB SDHC card. I read on another forum that this is a problem peculiar to Sandisk, others should work as advertised, however cannot confirm personally.
this is indeed a scandisk card....
it does seem to go in just dont trust it as it is not smooth like the vario II.
i will see if i can get another card and test. not had any issues with scandisk previously, but there is always a first for everything.
thanks for the reply.
Is the rubber cover supposed to come off completely? Mine seems to be attached at the right side... i've pulled it quite a bit, but i dont wanna break it off :S
Are you supposed to push the cover 'up' or just pull it off!?
the plastic cover hiding the micro slot just lifts up (it does not come completely off, you can then move it to one side whilst you put the card in) once in slide it back over and push it into place..
I've has my Kaiser for 6 weeks now and have had this issue with the 4gb sandisk card since the day i got it. I thought it was my phone that was busted. Ive been grabbing the card and forcefully pulling it out with my fingernails and have had it in and out probably 20 times with no damage to phone or card. Not the best way to do buisness but I didnt know what other options I had.
I'm actually a little ticked off at the way HTC is designing their card slot covers as of late- first the S710 fiasco, and now this annoying cover that doesn't seem to like being opened...
I have the same problem with the Sandisk 4gig card in my 8525 as well. I think the card is slightly over spec size because other cards click and pop out, just not this card. I had to use tweasers the first time to remove the card. Then I actually carefully trimmed/scraped the sides of my card with an X-Acto Knife which helped the fit.
I had problems with my Sandisk 4GB cards, too. But only the first 2 or 3 times I removed each card (I have 2). Either I've subconsciously figured out the trick to removing them or the slot has trimmed the cards so they don't hang up.
i have the same problem with my sandisk card. I used a really slim sharp knife to get it out.
Which SD ard to Use?
Hi guys,
I read the troubles with the Sandisk 4GB cards. Glad I read your post, I was just about to order a Sadisk 4GB.
Can you please reconfirm which SD cards 4GB, 6GB, 8GB work fine Kiaser?
This may help many of us.
Thanks
I hae a Sandisk 4G card. It comes out after pushing it in slightly - the spring works for me. After testing this 10 times, the card comes out 7 times. I think it depends on how you push it in.

I Installed a 4GB sandisk card last night - went in with no problems....! Doesn't seem to be a particularly tight fit..
Ohh err missus
I got my TyTN II today and I've got a sandisk 4GB microSD and it pops in and out with no problems. It's a **** trying to get the rubber cover off when you've got no nails though
i tried it, too. you have to turn the rubbercover to 180° to the right side. then the slot is free to get the card in and out. a spring is definitly in the slot. my 1GB sandisk slides out easily but only when the cover is away.
The cover rotates???? I was ready to tear it off already!!! Thanks for the tip
I've bought a Kaiser last friday but I've had the same problem with Sandisk 4Gb. I've thought that was from the phone so I've changed it but it xas the same problem Off course because it always was with a Sandisk 4Gb...
So now I know that it comes from Sandisk card ! Thanks for you !
Do you know wich card works perfectly with Kaiser ? Sandisk 6 Gb ?
Thanks for your help !
i dont think its a bug. how often do u change the card? normaly it should jump a little bit out of the slot so u can grab it with your fingernails or the stick. it could be that the 1gb is a little bit thinner as the bigger ones. i got my caliper here and its 0.75mm thick measured with the little sticker on the one side. so now we can check if the 4 oder 6gb version have the same measures thand the 1gb.
Hi together,
I've a problem. My 8GB SanDisk MicroSD Card jumps all the time out of the Slot.
Only the Cap of the Slot holds the SD Card inside.
Does anybody have the same problem?
Is there a fix for this?
Thank you for your help!
bye
Tom
It seems that you have a hardware design fault. If I was you I woud try a different card if still happening then send it back for a replacement asap

Question: did you push the SD card all the way down until you can hear a little 'click' sound?
Yes i did, it's hidden completly in the case, and i hear the click sound.
Does nobody else have the same problem?
Hi,
i tried now another MicroSD Card, and with this i don't have the problems. I suppose that my SD Card is damaged or its a fake.
I made a piture of both cards and uploaded it:
http://galdan.casemodder.de/MyFiles/public/IMGP1488.jpg
The 8GB Card is the problematic, and with the 2GB Card i don't have problems.
Do you see anything? What could i do?
Maybe a "fake"!
I'm not an expert, but your 8 GB MicroSD Card actually seems to be a "fake". These are the reasons why I think so:
the "SanDisk" writing is a little different
SanDisk logo is absent
"8 GB" instead of "8.0 GB"
different ProductID format
the writing "MADE IN CHINA" shouldn't be there
I think you've been... screwed!

I don't think so. I just took a photo of my 8GB Sandisk which
runs absolutely flawless in my TC since months now and clicks in
as it should. The printing looks the same manner than his.
Nevertheless it could be a fake, but the printing is ok,
so maybe just a production failure or bad tolerance.
I took a second photo with flash so you can see that also
the "Made in China" is there on my card (you can't see it
on the photo without flash)
Hope that helps.
Olioaglio
P.S.: @Galdan: Just noticed that your 8GB seems very sratched at
the surface (the printing is kinda bad). Mine is absolutely
clear (see photos).
I think the fitting and clicking is also a matter of "thickness" of the
card. Have you already compared the thickness of the two cards you
have to see, whether there'a noticable difference or not?

I guess you're right!
@Galdan: forget what I said!
I have also a 8GB SanDisk, same as yours and as Oliaglios.
Style of printing, Made in China all the same.
Mine is still free from scratches, the printing is like new. I took it out up to 50 times.
Maybe your card and the TC card slot are both at the "worse" end of the tolerance.
Going further on Oliaglio's hint: I suggest compare the measurements of both cards.

same print on my 8 GB, chinese made SanDisk card which came with the original sandisk USB card reader.
No mechanical problems at all, just 1 time partly data corruption.
I put one drop of superglue on the long edge of the card (let it dry!), and now the card fits fine.
same problem
I had just the same problem.
Returned it to HTC and they fixed it in garanty !
Nico
Same problem too. First repair, they haven't fix it. It's time for round two! At the same time i'v got a weird ratteling noise with the earspeakers...i hope they will fix that too
MicroSD Card Jumps Out
There are a number of units with a faulty spring assembly.
You can try 4gb or 8gb both to no avail. Contact customer support and explain the situation. They will provide you a RMA number and the address. Note you will need a credit card number to provide them. I takes about two weeks for the unit to get repaired and shipped back to you.
is micro sd card sandisk 8 gb class 4 good for apps?
if it be like the internal memory of the phone?
Hmm. i guess its ok. today i ordered Team 16GB class 06 micro sd for my SGS
I've read sandisk is not fully compatible with the sgs so it would be better to buy a different one.. kingston should do the work!

I've never used 'em too, but according to can't-remember-which forum sandisks work well at the beginning... sooner or later, however, they give some problems, like difficulties on reading/writing... after your reply I went to the forum again and read that probably you can encounter this problem only with android 2.1 or lesser so if you've got froyo you should be ok... sorry for causing confusion, just tried to help making things clear ^^
ps sorry 4 my english, but I haven't practised it very much lately

So what brand currently are you using ?
I have always used SanDisk cards in all my gear, have about a dozen of them. Never had any trouble.
In fact the very card the OP mentions (SanDisk MicroSD 8GB Class 4) is in my i9000 right now.
Samsung Accessories
I am using my data cable to transfer file from phone to PC. The transfer rate is low and was in search of card reader i can used it with my samsung phone card or will i have to purchase some other samsung accessories.
Maxflash micro sd rox
i use 8GB transcend class 2. works fine.. i stored all my videos included HD videos. works too good.. with stock froyo 2.2
Recently bought sandisk 32gb class 4micro sd card, no problems as of now noticed using froyo 2.2.1.
I've always used Sandisk, usually when I read about problems its non-Sandisk brands. I've had my Class 2 32GB card since a couple of days after they came out, more than a year now, no problems whatsoever.
You don't really need more than Class 2 in your phone, its fast enough for decoding and encoding 720P video, and I don't know of anything that would need quicker read/write speeds than that. If you can afford faster you'll notice a difference when loading stuff onto the card from your computer, but in the phone there won't be any particular difference in performance. I've benchmarked a non-Sandisk Class 4 32GB card (mymemory brand) in crystaldisk and its performance was better for reading (although again, the Sandisk was fast enough for anything you'd need to do in the phone), but its write performance was worse across the board, particularly when doing smaller or random writes (which for the most part is probably a better mimic for in-phone use than large sequential R/W activities). Whenever I've seen non-Sandisk ones benchmarked Vs Sandisk ones the Sandisk ones are always better within the same Class, and even above their Class, as I've seen in the benchmarks I did.
I definitely agree. The cost to performance of the higher class cards is not worth it.
Can somebody offer me a relatively cheap 32gb micro sd card? I bought one on Ebay, but it was fake (luckily i got my money back).
Kingston su**** my kingston microsd card (8gb 04) don't work anymore . . . i dunno why .
I'm using a SanDisk 4GB Class2 card and hard to reformat it twice in the last 5 weeks (somehow corrupted after reboot).
unfortunately I cannot tell you my exact rom version since I upgraded, but it was 2.2.1 on some doc rom with speedmod kernel.
Hello
I have gone through 3 sd cards I bought off ebay trying to get one to work. But everyone I use says damaged sd card. I have one in my phone that is a 4gb and that one works but I wanted to get a larger one, 32 gb so my daughter has plenty of storage. Any suggestions on what to use. Thanks
Mary
Has anyone had the SD card become loose and need to open tray and reseat the SD card to get it to read the card again.
nopes
change your sd card
or use sd card of some other company which provides you standard size sd card
thanks
You could try putting some Scotch tape on the top side and use a razor to trim tape. Make sure you apply some pressure to tape on SD card, this thin bit of tape make be enough to make your sd card tighter in your device. Like member before me try and buy a original brand sd card. So make fakes on the market it's hard at time to know real from fakes..
I'm using a sandisk card bought from best buy. The card is not the issue, it's the looseness of the slot. I like what Huawei is doing but shouldn't have to rig a brand new phone.
I called there support number and asked if 64gb phones were available. All the reviews say 32 and 64gb versions. Guess the USA got the short end on that one. This one is going back, which sucks because I like the blue color.
Oh, and I've also had software issues with two different SD cards. I've gotten corrupt messages but a soft reset fixes it.

Here's my suggestion:
1. Copy all of your files in your PC or laptop.
2. Insert your SD in your phone, then format the SD.
3. Copy your files back.
4. Done.

It could be just my device. I've decided to return it and grab a ZTE Axon 7. I was looking for a smaller form factor but the 64gb storage of the Axon is my sweet spot.

Already formatted card once after the first message. I think I just got one with a loose slot. It was the only blue one in San Antonio so no chance at exchange until November. Going to return it.

Exchange it immediately man. You just can't use it well with a loose slot.
Sent from my honor 5X using XDA Labs
You might have a defective tray, in which case you could try with a different one. Better than just exchange the whole phone.
Also, not all SDcard are equal, even from the same brand. My caliper told me so when I modded to have 2 SIM and SDcard in the same slot.
SD Card Loose
Hello, there are differences between the design and actual specifications may mean the SIM card holder fits only loosely into the phone.
Huawei smartphones are tested thoroughly before leaving the factory. The Huawei standard for the gap is ≤ 0.25 mm, ahead of the industry standard (≤ 0.3 mm).
If you still have concerns or issues with your SD card slot, please back up important data and take the receipt issued with your phone to an authorized Huawei service center for repair. [ns]
If you have got it recently and if you have time to return, get a replacement. Else go to the service center to rectify it as said by Honor_Noah

I picked up my blue Honor 8 from Best Buy on the 4th. The exclusive to Best Buy thing with the blue color was supposed to end this month and I thought did already. Newegg had preorders for a 64 GB blue Honor 8 for $50 more than the 32GB one. I just didn't want to wait any longer (my phone was a two year old ~$150 Samsung one and I've been eyeing new phones since February waiting for the right one).
I'm using a Samsung Pro+ 64 GB UHS3 in my Honor 8 and had no problems with it fitting snuggly or data transfer speed or integrity. I'd like to get a 128GB (or 256GB since I've heard reports they work) card to expand my storage even further, but I still have ~30GB free so it's not worth it at the moment.
