My Jam can't read my card!!
The information can be found, and the files/folders inside of the SD can be found..But it doesn't show up..I need to go to the finding thing and then it comes up as a list..Not a folder saying "SD"..
Anybody have a clue why it does that?
I've seen this problem before with a Ridata 1GB SD card. The data and structure on the card become corrupt. I've been able to fix this by backing up whatever is on the card (whatever is salvagable) and then doing a reformat of the card. If it won't let you reformat on the ppc, try doing it first on a regular pc with an SD card slot.

Hmm..Good idea, thanks.

indeed, that's the best option, ive got a sort of same problem to a few days a go, i backupt all my files on a map on my computer and format the card, and it help!
everytime i delete a file from my sd card it reappears after a soft reset !!!!
i m really bugged with this issue !!!
It happens with all files ie: from a text file to an exe...don't have ne apps installed on the device..also did a hard reset twice but no use
another problem that i discovered was that the programes that r installed on the sd card donot function after a soft rest...
check the lock of your sd card, if it is locked it is inpossible to delete anything from it
thanks 4 the reply
but
thats the first thing i did ..its not locked for sure !!!
have you tryed another sd card ?, maybe this one is broken and locket constantly , no matter the lock on the card. Try another SD
the card works perfect when use in the card reader , another thing is that its a mini sd , can it be locked when removed 4m the case ??
I'm going to buy Gene and read a lot of possitive oppinions abiut it. But there is a discussion on a russion forum www.4pda.ru about SD card problem. As I understood sometimes it looses SD card and everything on it. The files are shown in wrong symbols and even more - sometimes all data are lost. Does anybody had the problemm? know the solution? Thank you.
Get a reputable brand. I once had that problem with a 512MB in Imate JAM, but my Gene has a 1GB Apacer and Ive never had problems. Get a miniSD with an adapter for more versatility.
i have sumtin to tell
hey i bought my gene say three months back.put a 1 gb Transcend SD...but after some days when i took it out and again inserted it...the memory was lost and it was not formatting also....one fine day suddenly my treo recognized the card..but with only 480 MB.....i had to finally buy a new SD for my Gene...
They say SD card should be inserted after soft reset and will work fine. Also there e few guys tested MMC cards and said there wew no problems.
same here

hey i got the same problem to. talk to the HTC CustomerCare. they asked me to get my PPC reflashed. it might be due to some ROM error.
but if u try restarting (soft reset) ur PPC. it will work normally. i have used this technice. it works fine with me.
I recently came to a big problem. my storage card is not working correctly. my ppc takes a lot of time in accessing and reading it and sometimes gets hangs while doing it. i tried formating my device but the problem still exists. then i tried formating the memory card with my PC but again something strange happened. While formatting my pc gave an error msg "Windows Can't Format" or something like tht. i tried to manually delete the contents of my memory card but it says can not access device. I am sure tht my card is not Password lock. i think the problem occured after i used "WM5 Storage" software for my PPC to act as a "Mass Storage Device".
plz some1 tell me how can i fix my memory card.
plz plz plz plz plz help..........
yes, it is definitely a big problem with the SD card problem, i mean not the SD card problem, but the Gene's Problem! i bought it 2 months ago for my wife, comes with a brand new Transcend 1GB SD card, after i've installed all the programs into the SD card, its seems ok at first...BUT, when the Gene go to the standby mode, & u wake up the Gene, the program u have installed in the SD card all GONE!! the device can't find any thing in SD card & it finally hang! it is definitely not bcos i m using lousy brand SD card, i've tried Kingston, Pendrive, Sandisk & it has the same problem! i've called HTC service centre in Malaysia (i m from Malaysia) & they dun even knew about this (& even they gave me taiwan HTC email address, & told me to get an answer from taiwan).....
i have no choice, i have hard reset the device for more than 10 times, believe me, i started my pda phone live 5 years ago, i knew what is hard reset...& i tried more than 5 SD cards... same problem, some of the cards facing difference problem - the data saved in the card became unreadable & weird symbol.
since the service center does not has any solution for it, i have to use my own silly stupid way to prevent the Gene Hang, i have set the device all the time alive & avoid going to standby mode, & the problem solved...never hang again...but...imagine...the battery life ....(sigh).....
i sincerely hope that there is somebody in this forum could help to solve this BIG problem.....
At me too a problem with SD card... Very often on a card some files and folders are renamed in not clear symbols and data vanish.... A problem not only at me.... It at many, and it does not depend on a card memory from insertion Gene...
SD Card got Locked
I installed a software on my Gene, named "WM5 Storage".
it allows u to access ur memory card without activesync, as Mass Storage Device.
after the first use i found my card locked. it was unreadable. my ppc also started hanging. i tried restarting my ppc. now i was able to acces my storage card from file explorer, but it takes around 15-20 minutes and another 15minutes to access the files. when i connect it with my pc, active sync does not detect the SD card. i also tried to format the SD card through a card reader. the card reader reads its root files but couldn't access/open them. when i tried to format it give an error "device not accessible. device not ready.".
i also checked the lock button on the card, it was unlocked. plz some1 help.
plz plz plz..
mee too
GUYS I HAVE ONE CARD WITH ME THAT IS PERFECTLY OK...BUT DOES NOT GET READ IN MY GENE.....IN MY TREO 680 IT SHOWS ONLY HALF MEMORY....AND MY LAPTOP IS ALSO NOT RECOGNISING IT...WAT TO DO....???
I have the same sd card problem.......can anybody tell me the solution?is there same problem with mmc card? if no them i'll buy a new mmc card....plz help me.
Count me in
I had this problem for 5 times and still has it. Actually this happens(based on my experiences and opinion only) when u install some software on the SD card and it damages the file system.
Solution might be not to install apps on SD card or use a RS-DV-MMC which is used in recent Symbian phones.
Give it a try...
And plz post feedback.
Enjoy....
Dear All.
I have searched the web for this problem but couldn't find a similar problem or a solution
My wife got a galxy S2 and I was trying to transfer to her some of the appz that I had on my SD card (.apk files) I installed the SD card in her phone and was able to access it under my files under external_sd card.
The phone got some problems and I had to format it to factory reset. Now the phone does not want to read the SD card at all.
I can't see the SD card on my phone and cant even see it when I plug the phone to the PC I only see the internal memory. I have tried another SD and still the same.
When I go to settings>>>storage
It says insert SD Card for mounting under mount SD card
Also forgot to mention that I reformatted my SD card FAT32 and still not working
Anyone have the same problem please help

well, is the SD card blank? And are you sure the SD card is completely pushed in until it clicks?
