Hey guys,
I just bought a used Qtek S200. Everything was working fine for a good month or so. Just recently I noticed that my SD card does not show up. Has anyone had this problem? I have never dropped the phone or anything, this seems to just have happened out of the blue. I've tried a few different cards and none show up.
I am using Windows Mobile 6.
This happened to me yesterday! I've got the Orange M600 version of this phone, running WM5, with a 2gig card as well. All was working fine, I then tried to access a program stored on the card and it went tits up. No matter what I do I can't get it to work.
Someone help us, please!!
There's another older thread, same topic, but no solution
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315533
That would be my thread.... My still doesn't work either... I'm just gonna ride it out until Orange offer me a new phone.
My 2GB Sandisk Card didn't show up some days ago. After a softreset, it continued working. Just try it
so i've searched the forums and while there are plenty of posts addressing the problem of disappearing/corrupted files on sdhc microsd cards, i've not seen a definitive solution.
I just received my sandisk 6gb card 2 days ago and noticed the problem almost immediately. Files go missing, eject and re insert card and they reappear. It's very frustrating.
anyone have a solution????
I know a 4GB card is supported by the wing but i'm not sure if 6GB is, its quite a bit of data to be handled
Have you tried to reformat it ? that might fix it
i've reformatted...as i understand it, the wing can support up to 32gb sdhc cards.
This is now my 3rd micro sd card that stops working.
In one year 3 cards stopped working 1 with blackstone and 2 with Leo.
What is wrong with this type of cards. Is it normal that they break so often????
Any tools you recommend to let them go live again (the card is totally unrecognized by the LEO)
Now I put the microSD card with adapter on computer, and it reads it but is very very slow. Any software tool recommended?
p.s. trying now to scan/fix/reformat and so on
many users are reporting that hd2 are corrupting memory card. mine too was corrupted. the problem is with hd2 itself. i was using sandisk 8gb in xperia x1 for 3 years without having any problem. my card lasted only 1 week in the hd2
it most definatley seems to be a problem, in which the HD2 is making memory cards dead. Regardless of their Size, Class and Brand

any user got this problem from other brand than sandisk?
yeah, am having the same problem here. when i try to copy data onto the card from my PC, it takes ages and then when i pop it into my HD2, it doesnt read the files. i have formatted the card over and over again. i have just purchased another 16gb card. i will let you know if i encounter the same problem again.
I haven't suffered a card failure in my HD2 yet but have with other phones and iPAQs. SanDisk and Lexar replaced the cards in question but didn't say what had happened to them.
I have had success recovering cards with Rescue Disk Pro but most failures like this cannot be fixed.
Ive been using the Sandisk 16gb mobile ultra class 4 card on my Leo and its been perfect since i bought it, fast and realible. Works just as well on my HD 1.
mine 16gb works like a charm.
p.s. flash cards tend to get corrupted if you dont use "eject" feature. at least sometimes it had happend that, not "ejecting" the usb flash, would result in complete data loss./

You are completely right, ive had a couple of incidents with my HTC HD and HTC HERO, where by altering the data of the sd card while it was out of the phone, it would corrup the information on the device, and not let me install any new programs, hard reset :S andd on my Hero constant safe mode :S
Anywho, Flunik is correct it would be much safer to eject safely from the computer, before, it might just save ou those sd cards.
I noticed that my card wouldn't work properly when it was formatted on a PC!
If I let the Leo format the card it runs fine!!
Alrite peeps,
I hope someone can help me here as I have had no luck anywhere else.
I have had the hd2 for over a month now, it came with a 2gb Sdhc card but I decided to purchase an 8gb sandisk sdhc card.
Ok, I have not encountered any problems so far until today as I scrolled to view some pictures it froze at a pic for 5secs then suddenly to my shock I discovered that it had deleted all my files from my sd card! Now I took it out when I put it back it in, it requested a reformat to make the card readable! So I tried it on my Pc and again it asked to reformat- I had no choice to reformat when I did this I had an error message unable to reformat?! I noticed the capacity had also changed to 30.6mb and when I tried to reformat it in the hd2 it was succesful but still not readable ! Has Anyone else come across this problem and what can I do or is my card messed up?might check if it came with warranty.
Thanks in advance
P.s I'm running the tmobile 1.72 stock rom if that's makes any difference.
Yes, I had the same problem. And it turned out to be a fake card. Where did you buy it?
I had the same problem with the 8Gb card that came in the box from HTC. I have opened a case with HTC, and waiting to see what they say...
incredible ... the same thing happened to me, my guess the card is a fake, yet how does it work before that? I dont know how much data I had in there, it was not a lot, but the moment I tried to put about 15 songs in there, thats when it crashed afterward when I tried to play the songs. I havent had it for 2 weeks when it happened.
Omg.. that is serious thing...
Try to get your pictures back!
I work in a supermarket for home electronics and we've several failures of SD-/Memorycards per week. Even if you've formatted your (micro) SD-card, you can get your data back (esp. pictures) in the most cases. Very important: DO NOT USE THE CARD B4 MAKE A RESCUE TRIAL!
I use a free programm called DIR (Digital Image Recovery) in a special free version (from Foto Erhardt search via heise.de) to rescue the datas. It seems rly lowlevel but fails if it finds heavy memory errors. In such cases I try the free version of recuva, which you could use for other files too. PC Inspector Smart Recovery is the second possibility, but seems to me a bit unstable.
However, in a Windows OS you have to expect in evry second with a bluescreen, data loss, weird errors...
P.S.: All progs should be available in English or as ML.

SD CARD
Well i have to say this my card is also a disgrace as sandisk was bought with one of the store here in cambodia together with my HTC HD2 and after 2 days my whole input in it gone and requested for reformat..i did and tried for how many times then no luck at all. i returned to the shop and explain to them luckily they understood. same brand but till now its ok 1month passed
I have to say from experience that i wouldn't be surprised if all these failed cards were sandisk branded. I've had 3 sandisk sd cards of varying sizes over the years and they have all failed. They were all bought from reputable stores and never got using for anything other than data storage so spent most of their time in the plastic cases. Since then i've stayed away from sandisk kit and never had a failure and saved some cash in the process coz sandisk also like to charge you more.
This maybe something to test.
exactly the same problem here. Even the 30,6 Mb. matches. I bought from e-Bay, some prik in Korea. escalated at Paypal bust still no money back
Moschino02: change the title of the thread, please
not the HD2 ruins the microsd cards... the cards gives problems(fake / defective / no name brands)

i have had problems with a sd card. especially when files are damaged
look here. this is a formatter specially for sd cards.

run this with your card in a card reader after a recovery described above.
see if it helps to get the card working

I opened a case at eBay (within 45 days) and they returned my money in a day (great service)! My seller was from Hong Kong and pretended to be a friendly, reasonable guy, but by the time he knew I had returned the card there was no communication anymore whatsoever. As soon as I told the seller about the problem he had the item removed from eBay so I couldn't give negative feedback. eBay mailed me a warning about that too, but by that time I had already paid, received and returned the item.
Ok maybe it was not the hd2 but a faulty card I don't know? Please ignore the title(Im not sure how to amend it) Thanks for the zip file il give that a go..
I see that others have experienced this fault.I was always aware of fake cards prior to making the purchase off eBay, i thought it was geniune as it stated that it had a 5year warranty however the uk business shop/seller who specialises in these products has not replied to me since the fault in regards with the warranty. So I'm having doubts now
Anyways, just be careful and Sync regularly - luckily I did not have much on there exact a few apps and a few pics.
Now I am not so sure if my 8gb micro sd hc card is a fake after all, a friend has a similar card and they look exactly alike. I got my card bundled with the phone, and it did work for quite a while until I copied some music into it, and the card failed after I tried to play the songs. Now my notebook doesnt recognize the micro sd card (sd card adaptor) therefore cant format it since no disk detected, and my hd2 formatted it to a 30mb capacity yet i cant see it in file explorer.

same problem for me. have been using the bundled 8gb card for a mth when suddenly it died 5days ago. I panicked and tried reading it on my laptop. nothing detected. I thought all my files are gone for good. I pulled out the card and reinserted over 10times. all of a sudden, autoplay started and the card and its files were detected! immediately copied and backed up all my files onto my laptop.
true enough to my prediction, this morning I woke up and the card died once more... this time its dead for real. changed to a Toshiba 4gb card this time..
could it be its the phone causing cards to corrupt? regardless of brand? so many ppl have this problem.
Same for me here,
I think it's related to cht scheduler or to cht. I've read something @ pocketpc.ch
so now my 16 gig scandisc sd-card only has 30.6mb
I'm gonna send it back...
I wonder how many of you guys do not use the safely remove hardware or the eject option when you remove your phone from your PC....
I have a multitude of microSD cards and ALL of them still work and most of them are sandisk cards....
failure to use the safely remove hardware or eject option will always end in the card getting corrupted. It may not happen the first time but it will eventually happen and when it does get corrupted the HD2 will not show the card as being present until it is formatted.

Hey Guys!!
I work at a retails shop where we sell heaps of memory cards and cameras a day .. So im pretty experienced with this issue. The microSD card you get with HTC HD2 is a Class (4) card, which transfers about 5mb/s. which means that it has higher transfer rate compared to the normal everyday microSD cards you buy from your retail shops/ebay which are Class (2) which transfers about 2mb/s.
This is the reason that your HD2 kills all those Class (2) cards.. because when the phone doesn't get the enough transfer rate to read.. after couple of days they all stuff up.
Recommendations:
Try getting the new PANASONIC (JAPANESE MADE) microSD card which has a transfer rate for about 20mb/s these cards will work like butter..

so if this guy is right the HD2 only wants class 4 cards...
I for myself bought a class 2, that died (it was a fault, I did want at least a class 4 one)
so good luck altogether!
Okay I did a search somewhat, but honestly I dont know even how to word it for a search for a solution, so please any idea would be wonderful.
Ihave been running the Android from my 8gb sdcard perfectly fine, but I just recently for a 32gb sd card for $40, and wanted to change it and use the 8gb for testing purposes, so I took the card out, put it into my computer, and copied everything off to a folder, then took the 32gb sdcard and then copied everything from the folder onto the sdcard, then booted the hd2 up, the genyboot came up and then got an sub error, so I went into the file explorer on the phone, went to the sdcard then to the android folder and ran clrcad.exe ran fine, then went to run the haret file got a error about being untrusted yadah yadah yadah. Shut the phone down, put the 8gb back in, boot the phone up, no problem back in android. Tried the 32gb again, again same error about an untrusted source.
I already have the security reg setting set to 1 on both 101a and 101c so it shouldnt be asking me about untrusted source, so Anyone have a clue, cause I sure as hell dont!
And I am trying not to have to reinstall again, or back it up and then restore it. So anyone run across this problem?
No one has any answers to this? Anyone ever have this? Cause its driving me nuts.

The card is no good for android. You need a good name brand to run android. For me both adata 8gb and sandisk 16gb work well, while a wintec 16gb class 10 I found for $29 does not. I've read that 32gb sandisk works well, but they are expensive.

Thats what I have a SanDisk 32gb sdcard, and I paid $40 for it brand new.
And so I ask again why am I getting this? The HD2 sees the card fine, no problems seeing it, and now I tried the security configuration manager I had found on another thread, and now cause I had no choice I hard reset the phone, and now after a hard reset its telling me about untrusted sources, where before it worked fine, its doing it to everything now no matter what on the phone OR the sd card.
Will a re-flash off the computer erase the security configuration settings?

Sandisk 32gb for 40 bucks? Did you check if that 32gb is really a 32gb card and not the 32gb knock offs sold in ebay?

The micro card is imprinted SanDisk @ 32GB. Looks exactly as my 8gbcard, check the space on the card and has: 29.14 GB formatted.
Anyway, I just fixed my problem I think with my issue, Just did a re-flash of my phone and then deleted everything off the card, and as a test copied thru active sync MDJ's Gingerbread and ran clrcad and haret and I'm back in Android.
So thanks I sovled my own problem.
