Touch Pro not recognising my 8gb Micro SDHC Card

I have just taken delivery of my Touch Pro. I inserted my 8GB into slot (correctly) however, when I go to memory/storage card it says not installed.
Any comments, help or ideas most welcome. The card is Sandisk and was working in the phone I took it out of.

How is the card formatted, what phone did you use it in?

likely the card... but try another?
i just put a 16Gb micro sdhc in yesterday after direct copy from my 2Gb to the 16Gb, popped it in and it was fine (had to reinstall iGo but nothing else needed to be done with all other apps installed in phone memory)

Sounds like it needs formatting perhaps? Hard to think what else could be going on there, but TP took my 8GB card without problems, and is now running with my 16GB card without problems.

like a few other people said already...formatting...that should do it!

I did excatly the same thing with a 8GB Sandisk Ultra. It worked first time no problem.
There are A LOT of fakes on eBay which are incredibly hard to distinguish - I got a Sony Memory Stick that just had lots of write and read errors and just stopped working. You might wanna check if the problem persists.

Place it in a computer, right click over the drive icon, format.

I formatted my Touch Pro 2 with Fat32 format, and it will only see 8G and it's a 16G. What's the deal?

Touch Pro corrupting my 16GB and 8GB MicroSDHC Cards... I´m the only one ?

Hello !
Someone got the same problem ?

corrupted my 8GB Sandisk Ultra II after 3 days of use.
The card could be read INSIDE of my Raphael but not on my PC with different card readers. This would be a minor problem but my Raphael also destroyed randomly files on the card too.
I thought the Micro SDHC Card was defective and send it back.
Now I own a Sandisk 16GB Card and it got also courrupted in like 2 days of use.
Some file from my *Notes* was thrashed and other files followed.
Raphael will try to open the file and then stay busy. After like 20 seconds a message containing "There is not enough memory " pop up... (150MB free ram should be enough to open a 2 kb Notes-file )
Wierd thing -> My *old* Sandisk 6 GB MicroSDHC Card I own for more than half a year now works flawlessly... (Till yet )
Someone here got the same experiences ?
Someone got some advice for me ?
I read something about updated SD sdrivers from member Tucan which he cooked into a german stock rom. Are they any good for me ?
Is there a Rom which should solve my problems ?
Help will be really appreciated !!

im sorry but the new memory you have must be fake, that explains why it works with your old mem, and why after sending it back, the same place sent you another fake.

Oh lord here we go, I just ordered my 8gb MicroSDHC card from newegg since the Fuze will be out soon I hope this isn't a common problem.

I corrupted my 8GB once, but by my own fault. I was in the middle of a transfer and was connected as a hard drive, not through activesync, and hit the power button which disconnected it from the computer. I hooked it up as a hard drive again, went into windows and reformatted the MicroSD... No issues from then on.

I ordered both cards from completly different places, so that is unlikely.
They did work normaly (some days) even on my PC, so I guess it is my Raph which corrupted them

I´m always *releasing* my harddrives/cards (on my PC) with the icon in the lower right corner to be save from what you experienced.
Oh man. I have the 16GB Card sitting here and cant use it... I will try it in my old XDA Trion (aka Hermes) for the next days ...
Anyway thanks for your replys !
Someone else has some thoughts about the problem ?
Maybe it has something to do with all the powersaving *features* beeing enabled through -Advanced Config 3.2- and -Diamond Tweak- ?

Well I'm using the same rom as you and was using an 8gb Sandisk card until I got a 16gb Sandisk card and both work flawlessly I'm afraid. I have also applied the power saving tweaks you mention with no ill effect.

using 8gb for about a month now, no problems at all.

Oh, I should mention I've heard many people talk about how there were a lot of Tilts that corrupted MicroSD cards. It was a flaw from the factory, apparently affected a number of them. I wouldn't be surprised of HTC saw some of the same issues with the Fuze, knowing all of the issues they've had already.

My 8gb card works just fine.
For reference, I'm using an A-DATA Class-6 8gb microSD purchased from NewEgg. Cheap, fast, reliable, perfect.

16gb bog standard San Disk Micro SD is working fine at the moment.
Formatted using Panasonic's SD Formatter as I corrupted it before I even put it in the Pro.

my 8GB works fine too

Maybe if everybody posts the brand name of their cards we can determine if this has something to do with the issues.
I remember with my Hermes I had to get a specific brand and produced from a certain plant to not have any issues. I still have my Kingston Micro SD from the Japan plant with no issues.

Using 8Gb and 16Gb of Sandisk with no probs on my Touch Pro.

Hi,
I may be barking up the wrong tree here but are you sure you have not enabled the Encryption setting under Settings. This will encrypt the storage card so it can only be read from the phone. Removing the card and placing in a PC or Laptop would show up as corrupted.
I selected it by mistake once and it corrupted my folder tree and showed garbage.
Not saying this is what is up but is worth looking at.
Personally I have a 16GB SanDisk card in my Touch Pro and it been OK. Been running for about 3 weeks now.
John

maybe the cardreaders from youre PC are not compatible with sdhc.

This is redundand and it may be opinion but im looking into buying a class 6 8gig. Is adata reliable? What company is the best in your opinions for what im looking for. Fastest?

Sandisk. Always. Forever. For my memory cards at least

FYI...
I put a 16Gb Sandisk in my TP on monday (5 days ago)... not a single problem with it and no corrupted files either.
I was previously using my 4Gb Sandisk card from my old Kaiser... which also worked perfectly fine.

Had a Sandisk 8GB card in mine, no problems. Now have a 16GB Sandisk, no problems.
For me I'll buy Sandisk, and only Sandisk, for my memory cards.

I have the very chip you described in my kaiser (class 6 a-data 8gb) runs without a problem. I've never really had much problems with microsd chips but I gotta admit I got a little worries when this thread poped up not so much about the chip but the phone itself, I've never had a bad chip in my life bought about 20 or so thus far, the a-data does well in terms of speed nothing to be excisted about but for it's class and size it holds its own.

Transcend 8GB SDHC wont read

hey guys, i just received my 8gb transcend class 6 sdhc card and when i plugged it in, the phone wont recognize it, it can read my micro sd 1gb Sandisk but not my new SDHC one.
ive seen many people using this transcend card on their raphs and had no problems, can anyone help me out? its driving me nuts cuz i cant find a solution whenever i search

I had the same exact problem. Bought an 8gb transcend for my phone and it refused to recognize it. Tried a few different rom's as well. I searched and searched and didn't get any solid answers, but did find a few forums where other users had the same exact problem. I chalked it up to the combination of a cheap card and a cheap reader, and for whatever reason they don't work. If you happen to find a solution, please share it. As I currently have a 8gb sitting around doing nothing, since I have no other microsdhc devices to try it in!

UPDATE: ok soo i put the SDHC card into my friends Tmobile Wing and it read it just fine, i got mine to work but i have to soft reset or take out the card, even if that helped it was a temporary fix and the problem would come back!
is there a solution or fix for this? i really need ur help guys

A few HTC HD2 Questions.

I recently got my new HTC HD2 , My first WinMo device and I love it so far asside from some problems that may/may not have fixed
1. When im on a call the light comes on and my face presses the buttons, Is the light not meant to go off?
2. I brought myself an 8gb Sandisk Micro SD Card for the device and placed all 613 of my songs on there, When I try play them in WMP it just laggs on all songs and the whole phone is slow to respond, Any advice?
I think thats all for now if anyone can help with the above I would apreciate it greatly

HD2 slow with 8gb microsd
I also find that my HD2 runs very slow when using a SanDisk MicroSDHC 8GB card. This is in direct contrast to its speed with the 2GB MicroSD card supplied with the HD2 as original equipment. All I have done is to copy all the files on the 2GB card to the 8GB one. Any help with this would be most welcome.

[Q] SD Card Removed Unexpectedly

Hello guys, I have problem with my 16GB and 8GB MicroSD, it just standard class not class 10. I got weird behaviour, maybe many people facing the same issue with me. My sd card removed unexpectedly even my sensation was idle. There's no heat no heavy usage running. Tried reformating several times but again this problem still there. Tried changing rom from ViperS, CM10.2, CM11 no luck. Also I had already returned to the distributors with the new microsd but again, it happens to me. I don't why when I use 4GB my sensation running fine, no problem at all. This is the Sensation limitation? Maybe people have some advice how to solve this problem. Thank you

anyone?

Never heard of it, I've used 8gb, 16gb,32gb, and 64gb on multiple htc sensations, never had a that problem you describe.
But, it sounds like the pin might be lose?? does the card pull out easily when you pull it? i.e. you don't push it in first to get it out but even in this case, the card should be lodged safely inside the enclosure. Maybe it's bad design on the card? like too thin or something and so the electrical contact keeps shorting out
try googling

Sounds like a bad SD card to me. I'm using a 64GB Sandisk card without any problem.
I found this thread mentioning problems with S-ON might cause this.

I thought it was my bad sdcard too. Because now I've tested sandisk 4Gb class 4 running without any problem. Don't know why with Vgen Sdcard(local brand on my country) I keep facing this problem, both 8Gb and 16Gb. Maybe the vgen sdcard can't survive with high temperature on sensation, since sensation sometimes getting hot. Today I've ordered Sandisk ultra 8Gb class 10 and will check if the problem still exist.
