When I insert SD card (512MB) into SD slot, it can be read but can't write. (I also tested with others SD card). When I use MMC card, it can be read and write. I've hardreseted, but nothing change.
Help me pls!!
Your SD card might be in write-protect mode. When looking at the card in a way that the lable can be properly read, you'll find a small "switch" on the upper left hand side of the card.

The setuation was...i lend my 1gb sandisk card to one of my friend for 2 days...so my sd card port was keep empty....and those two days a lot of dust entered on that port as well as i accdently keep my magicial a whole night just under my aircondition in naced body.... without any lather cover i mean...
after two days when i get returened my sd card i found out that its not writable any more...firstly i thought my friend did something to the card...but when i tried with other 256 and 512 model i got the same result...
then after some reserch i managed to make it work again...
what i did was..
1) cleaned all the dust in the port with compressed air...
2) gave some hot air to the whole magician...Hi..Hi..
3) i copyed some file from sd card to phone memory while proccesing the copying i ejected the card a severel time...
4) and finally prayed to god....
I dont know which one did worked...but i have now a healthy..(with miron scrached) Magician serving Me for nearly 1 year...3 month after the sd card incident...

I actually forgot to mention what "sajib" just said. It could be dust in the card and/or in your SD card socket. He already explained how to clean the SD card socket. To clean the SD card contacts use isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol. CD/DVD cleaning liquid is also ok since its a diluted form of isopropyl alcohol.

The data from my SD card became partly unreadable, some prgms could not be started and when looking at the root folder of my card I found some items named like ç!é”è((é§éç. Putting the card out and back in didn’t help, only a soft reset did the job. All data was still intact. This thing happened twice untill now. I use a Sandisk 1GB card.
Has anyone had this problem before? I remember reading about the same problem on a forum but couldn't find the posting.
I also experienced the same problem
I had this problem before. When I pulled my Sandisk 1 GB Micro SD and pushed it back in, the System did not recognize my Memory Card. I did it several times and suddenly it came back again.
The trick I used was pushing the Memory upward (against the back of the phone) until the memory was not completely inserted. Roughly about 1/10 of the memory sticks out of the memory slot
I believe this is a major hardware problem with the Memory Slot.
I have had this problem with my 2GB miniSD on my MDA Compact- the first time i had no choice but to re-format the card and start over but second time, re-inserting the card solved the problem.
May be something to do with the card not getting proper contact.
It doesn't work at all anymore!
I've had the same problem with my 1gb SD card since I bought it 2 years ago. It's crap, because copying a movie for instance through the phone (MDA compact) takes forever.
Now I reformatted it, and copied some stuff to it through my card reader. But after putting it back into my phone, the card now is not even seen at all by my phone, and putting it back in my PC doesn't work either... now it's not recognised anywhere anymore...
Anyone, now how to get this fixed?!
Thx!

Try using this utility (or similar) to format your card from a card reader:

Hmmm, thx for hint, but that didn't work either. Since the drive isn't recognised, so does this tool... weird enough the adminstrative tools in windows (drive managament) does see a 1gb drive, but assigning a new drive letter causes an error.... damn... looks like I'll be buying a new SD card.
Does anyone know which brands/types (I now have a 1gb Kinston) have less problems with this, so I can copy files to and from my card though my card reader instead of my phone, without srewing my card up?
Edit: Ha! I formatted my SD card with my digital camera! Leaving just the problem of not being able to copy files to my card through my cardreader...
hi!!
i need some help with my mda compact..
i bought a new sd 2Gb card and it wont read it...
its asks to format it and does but nothing else...
thats it..
it cant read it..
I've had the same prob with an 2Gb MMC, and i fix it by unscreawing a bit the top 2 screws of the mainboard (have to open the upper back part). The ideea is to push the card slot backword, until it reads the card correctly, anddoing this with the battery cover on place, to be able to power on your device after uncreawing a bit, to test the rezult. By doing this I fixt also some reading problemsa that i had with other card (when paying movies from the card, it would freez the move until I would pull out the card and put it back again). Hope to be of help.
Hello All,
My Vario is behaving weird. The mini SD card is not being recognised at all. I have tried:
Soft reset- nothing
Making a 20KB backup on the inserted card: works
Checking if anything else is on the card: no, card only lists the small backup file
thousends and thousands of times: inserting and removing the ^%%*&^$&^%#&-card- nothing
Hard reset (I saw no other solution)- to my horror: nothing (sys info states: no card is inserted)
After the hard reset, my options are very limited. I do not have a card reader to get to my backup file....
Anyone here has an idea on how to get my card being recognised again?
Anyone else also very tired of this WM **** crashing all the time or is it just me? (and my usage?
had the same problem on my hermes guys from a different forum gave me a solution is not the best but it works for me cut a little corner of a business card and insert it under your sd card to make a tighter fit and keep it making contact if everything was erased of your sd card you might have to reformat and reload your data this is a pretty common issue i guess i had to get a new sd card because the last one says I have a 4GB file in it but its only a 2 GB sd card crazy ****.
holy mozes!

thanks mate! That was quick! tried it and unfortunately it does not work. Even tried a different card: same deal. My card in someone else's device: whooohoo! my data (and backups) are still there!
So I checked with my provider just a minute ago and they told me it is still under warranty!!!
I guess I can close this post now...??? ...good, now where's that dutchie...
i have delited a program from my MSD Card and from that point my PDA does not recognize my storage card, the card is recognized by my computer, i have tryed other cards and the PDA does not recognise any of them,
does any one can help me please
1st try to clean out the sd card slot in case of something in there causing trouble. Use a can of compressed air to blow out any dust or anything. The reason I said use compressed air is because just blowing can leave moisture on the contacts causing corrosion sooner or later.
Backup the sd card then reformat it FAT32, put everything back on then see what happens.
If this doesn't work, see if it registers another sd card. If it does then it could be a problem with the card, if it doesn't then you might need to HR.
If you used backup software, now would be the time to use it...
Cheers...
I agree 100000000x times with this guy. I have owned my pre-owned Hermes for about two weeks and I was about to cry because ever since I have owned it, the sd card slot never worked. I even tried multiple cards and nothing worked. I was about to give up hope Once I tried using a can of air and cleaned the slot out thoroughly, the Hermes started recognizing the cards. I'm happy as hell now
I had the same problem, I just now placed a different storage card reads it, and it is playing.
It is palying this brand: "kingston SDCO2G" 2GB.

My 16gb sandisk micro sd card is no longer being recognized. I booted my HTC HD2 in Android and mounted the sd card to transfer pics to my pc. Just then I got a call coming in and the phone immediately became unresponsive. I kept getting the force close message but I couldn't stop it (it seemed to be in a loop) So I unsafely disconnected the phone from the pc, took out the battery and rebooted it. It started up in windows, but when I went to check for the sd card it could no longer be found. I pull out the card put it back more than twice, and yet the phone failed to recognize my memory card.
Please help me guys
put the sd card into a card reader, connect to your pc and if if its recognised there, it might be a dying card I've lost 1 16GB and an 8GB in 18 months with my hd2
If the pc recognises the card with no error save the date, reformat to primary partition fat 32 using Easeus free edition, also try the phone without the card
Thank u
Hey ..I really do appreciate the time u took to respond. Funny I was thinking the same thing....I broke my old card reader, now I have to get another another on from Amazon.com. As soon as I can lay my hands on one that is gonna be my first move.
Again, thanks a bunch.
P.S
Sadly I feel like an idiot for not backing up my sd card...(more than 3000 photos on there )

After trying the SD Card thru a card reader and if it still doesn't work/recognize it - then your mobile (hd2's)windows is corrupted - coz the same happened with me thrice and ultimately I took it back to the HTC service centre and they re installed the windows 6.5 and since then everythings is working normally and there is no problem with the SD Card anymore, but your old card becomes thrash and you'll have to get a new card :0)

Same here. Lost a sd-card recently but probably due to my own fault.
The card was difficult to get out of the reader (Yup, it seems there is some tolerance on the size) so I had to use some small tweezers.
I finally managed to get it out without any visual damage but after inserting it in the HD2 it couldn't see it anymore, neither in the cardreader afterwards.
What I think is that I had physically bent the card and broke the connections to the actual memory chip.
Some good advice on memory cards and I can't stress this out enough especially for dedicated photo equipment. Instead of buying a 16GB card buy 2 x 8GB and from a known seller and known brand.
The best and probably worst experience example that I can give is from a couple who were on their honeymoon and lost all of their pictures because of a el-cheapo 8GB memorycard.
For a phone it is something else but I made a custom out of it to create a map on my c-drive called sd-card phone. Ok it is not a every week copy but it is handy to have the data on my pc and on my phone.
