sd card(?) problem - General Questions and Answers

Hi! I've got a rooted chinese fake phone, called Ginwave GnoteM. I've got no problem with it till this time. Something wants a small amount of data to update, but when I hit "OK" button it says : "SD Card error. Check your SDcard and try again" and of course the download is failed. I think there is no problem with my sd card, it works properly. Any idea?

Try to buy another SD Card. Maybe there is a problem with the SD Card

Theres a couple of things you can do. Maybe you might need to change the storage format of the SD card from fat32 to ntfs or something similar. You can also try the sd card in another phone/device to see if its working, that way youll know if the problem is your phone or the card.

Messed up SD card during downgrade portion of rooting.

I thought I had turned my sd card into a goldcard in my inspire but I must have done something wrong. during the downgrade part of rooting, bootloader was unable to find pd981im.zip ... now my sd card is jacked. rebooted the phone and now I am not able to connect the phone as a physical disk (option is not even there) and it says damaged sd card. Is there a way to bring the sd card back to life through the phone or do I have to buy a micro sd usb key or the likes to format it?
Let me know if I need to clarify more.
Thanks,
Dkay

Try going into settings>>SD & phone storage and unmount your SD card, then hit the "Format SD card". It's worth a shot, if not you could go buy a cheap 2 gig for the SD card adapter.
P.S. This section is for development, just a heads up.
You didnt make your gold card correctly some times it takes a few times to make it. As said before format and retry.

[Q] Sd card serious help.

in the middle of my SD CARD being FULLY FORMATED, my computer shut downed.
Now, my SD CARD is corrupted. I cant even FORMAT it AGAIN.
Please HELP.
My phone doesnt even give me the DISK DRIVE option.
Try using a SD adapter instead of going straight through the phone...if that don't work...take out the SD card and leave it out for like 30 min and try again.
I have never encountered anything like that so those are the best solutions I got...

Try using SD specialized formatting tools. They help many times in situations like this.

External SD problem

Would really appreciate a little help! Phone died formatting a new sandisk 16 gb SD and now I cannot format the card as it says blank or unsuppported file system or something, gives option to format, then says checking SD card, then the same notification stays about unsupported ect... but it does nothing. I tried putting it in an SD card adapter in a few things like a camera to format but no ideas. Anyone know what to do? Also tried formatting through system pref... does same thing.. no luck.

My understanding from reading your post is that you tried to format a brand new SD card and then your phone turned off/died, then you got the phone back up and running and tried to format again, but now you're getting an error. Well, if you still have the receipt, go return it for another one and try again.
if the card, formats in nothing, like your camera or PC, which I believe you are saying. The SD card is defective.....return it.
infact, I don't think I had to format my new SD card. It worked right out of the box.

[Q] external sd card problem

hi guy's!
i have a Galaxy Ace GT-S5730i
and i was having some problems with the internal storage
so i saw this thread by jocala
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757767
that i can use the external sd card as an internal storage
any how .. it didn't work!
but what happened now is that my phone can't read the sd card at all
and saying things like "no such as directory" or something like that
and i can't download the swapsd.apk again cause it needs an sd card to be downloaded to first!
if only i can download the apk from any where directly to the internal phone storage
i can get the swap back to default again!
any help please?!
and yes i am a noob!
Take out the SD card and put it into an SD card reader and put that into your computer and use a free partition program to basically repartition the entire card or delete and format a new partition.
didn't work

hey, thanks for helping
but it didn't work
did what you asked me to do, but nothing really changed!
thanks again
any other ideas?
Strange, formatting the sd card usually fixes these kind of problems :/
Have you tried it a couple times? Formatting does fail on occasions. Also make sure you do a full format, not a quick one

well, the sd card is working probably on the pc with the card reader!
so i guess - just guessing - that the problem is in the device it self!
i formatted the phone it self but it didn't work, and i'm going to go with what you are saying
and i will do a full format
thanks a lot
didn't work, does the FAT,FAT32 and the rest of those stuff matter?!
+
when ever i open "My Files" it says "Your phone does not have SD card inserted" although it is!
take a cloth and clean your SD card area in your phone, also use that canned air stuff and do a quick spray.

[Q] Strange SD card problem

Well, I have a class 6 16 gb samsung micro sd card using with lg p500. Two weeks ago after installing some rom(probably icysnap) after booting it can't recognize the sd card but detects it in cwm. So I know my sd card is alright. so I flashed another rom(rasheed's jb) but still it can't recognize the sd card although detected in cwm just like previous times. After then I tried a lot like formatting it,partitioning it by both CWM & Minitool from FAT32 to FAT-EXT123..every format. But nope..nothing happened. And then next morning it is recognized again. So it takes a few hours to be detected. What the heck is going on? Any solution? Can't I have flexibility to reboot my phone:crying:?
And don't I have any right to use link2sd and download more apps than it fits in internal memory:crying:!
maybe your phone doesn't recognize sd card because of some permisions, try fix permisions from cwm
Format it again in PC.. dont use Quick format method. Size allocation DEFAULT. Dont patition it this time. Try different kernels.
Still if you face the problem.. get another MicroSD card.. buy transcend.

another thing, on playstore is an app named PIMPMYROM, I used it to zipalign and move data to sd but I do not recommend in your case to move data to SD, you can try it , it is free, but beware some things may brick your phone
another thing is to check SD slot with a multimeter to see if all pins have same voltage/amps
and as rr0yy says, try with another SD card, maybe this one isn't too good and is too lazy and moves with the speed of a rabid snail

Well..my $15 Micromax phone instantly detects teh card. I think there is no problem with the card but the reader in the phone. And I tried everything like fixing permission in cwm.
