Anyone else having an issue where after the trinity goes into standby maybe 2-3 times you are no longer able to access the minisd card? It still shows it being there.. but if you try to open any files it comes up with errors or will hang before finally timing out. The only way to resolve it for me has been to eject it and reinsert the media. The card works fine in my Wizard so I know it's not the card. The card is a 1gb Kingston Tech.
This dosen't help you anything, but just for information; it works fine for me... I've got a 2 GB miniSD from Sandisk

Maybe you are right and it's not the card, but I have lost count of how many messages I have read in forums about problems with Kingston cards!
I have a 2gb Sandisk card and it works fine I use windows media player with all mp3 files stored in the card so I would have noticed this problem immediately.
thanks for the responses.. I'm going to buy a new card and see if that works better
Problem Solved!
I went ahead and picked up a 2gb transcend card and now my problem went away. Thanks for the suggestion to try another card.

I'm also having problems with my SanDisk 2GB card. Didn't exactly check if the problems occur once it's gone on stand-by a couple of times but yes, there have been times I've had to eject and re-insert it to get it working again.
I'm fairly sure it's a bug and not the card because I've also been using the same card in my HTC Wizard and it's worked fine.
Hope there are some ROM updates soon.
same problem with my 2gb 80x from transcend, the card disappear in file explorer , i have to eject and re insert it too.
I did see it happen once and that was on the first day of use.
hmm.. wierd my transcend 2gb card has been working flawless for the past 4 days.. whereas my kingston 1gb would disappear within a few minutes. Guess it's all in the luck of the draw at this point until we get a rom fix. At least the good news is that Trinity forced me into upgrading to a 2gb card which I wanted to do anyway. So I'll give the phone credit for at least that
Initially I had the simmilar problems with my Sandisk 2GB card.
Then I discovered that PocketMax Phonealarm 1.57.00 caused problems. After I went back to Phonealarm 1.56.10 everything worked fine again. The most recent version of Phonealarm is 1.58.00 but I did not try that version yet as 1.56.10 works fine for me.
To see if your Phonealarm is causing problems just try to uninstall, softreset and use your device for a while without Phonealarm.
Since I have never used Phonealarm I'd go for a bug.
I have a Trinity and I noticed this problem with every program or data stored on my 2gb card.
Here is my conversation with the HTC support team :
Q : "I have a serious problemn with my new p3600 : each time it resumes from stand-by mode, the micro sd card is not recognized anymore. The result is I can't use my GPS software or any program installed on the card, nor any program can access to system files or music.
WHat can I do to fix this rather bothering issue?"
A : "Dear Mr. Simon,
Thank you for contacting HTC Europe support.
With regards to your query, there are no known issues with this device and storage cards. I would however advise you that these devices though they may work with 4GB cards are only tested with 2GB cards. If your SD card is over 2GB i would advise trying a smaller one.
If the card is 2GB or smaller,you may wish to try a hard reset or a different make of card.
Failing that the contact details below are for your relevant repair center."
If anyone has a hint on this issue, please let us know because it's rather disappointing for such an expensive device.

That sure was a disappointing reply from them. I'm pretty sure their tech department is aware of this and its just their support staff that aren't informed of these things.
Anyway, time to play the waiting game.
Had this issue with my 1gb kingston card but the problems occured more often when i was installing and uninstalling apps, with the 2gb from Sandisk at the moment no problems.

No problems with my sandisk 1GB card.
I have used a kingston 2gb card for about two weeks now and I do not have any problems whatsoever with standby and this brand of miniSD
I had the same problem initially with a unbranded 2gb mini-sd purchased from ebay. I purchased a new 2gb Transcend and no problems yet.
Be Cereful with HighSpeed New SDHC Transcend
Good Morning,
It appears that the transcend card you refer to does not work in our p3600 device. Therefore it seems that the P3600 does not support SDHC cards.
Thank you for your enquiry, Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your Local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/cs_by_phone.html

I just bought a sandisk 1gb and haven't noticed any bug since. Therefore it means the Trinity doesn't like no name cheap memory cards.
At last, I can make the most of my little wonder!
Has anyone tried with the sandisk ultra cards?
I have an Ultra Sandisk 2 GB and it works like a charm on my Trinity. However, I recently used the Pocket Mechanic 2,23 and it screwed up my mini sd and warrented a format from my laptop following the defragmentation of the card through Pocket Mechanic. It is reported that Pocket Mechanic screws the sds if you use them to mess/ format or defragment the cards. I reinstalled everything with the exception of PM and now I have no problems.

Hi, I'm having problems with the 2Gb Dane-Elec mini SD card in the Trinity (original; did not flash it or something...)
The card just cannot be accessed after a while, or after I run a program off it. For example: I have TomTom Navigator maps stored on it. When I run TomTom, All works fine, but when I close TomTom, the card cannot be accessed anymore. In the explorer, the folder list is all garbled and shows strange symbols. When I remove the card and re-insert it, all works ok again. So, after I do something with the card, I have to remove it and re-insert it in order to get it working again.
When I then re-insert the card, it shows up in the Explorer with the name "StorageCard2", because apparently when the card cannot be found, a folder called "StorageCard" is created on the device.
I'm trying to figure out if this is caused by the storagecard being faulty, or perhaps an error / incompatibility in the device.
Any ideas? many thanks in advance!

It seems that the Trinity has this problem with some memory brands more than others. I have a 2GB sandisk and I don't have this problem. Another possibility is that problems lie in how the memory card is used: I use the card only to store music and other documents, but I don't have programs installed in the card.... maybe that's the reason why I am spared this problem?
I'm having the same issues with a TakeMS 2GB mini sd card. I've tried different formats (FAT16, FAT32) with no success. I sent an email to HTC and they told me they didn't know of any incompatibility problems with mini SDs.
same here in greece with mini sd 2gp sandisk and take ms !!! only 1 gb work perfect
Same problem with TakeMS 2Gb miniSD. Works fine on my girlfriend's nokia N80.

You've probably already tried, but formatting the card with XP with a card reader in FAT 32 might help.
Mine is starting to have the same problem too! I have a Kingmax 2gb minid-sd card. However. I didn't see any problems like this until a few days after I flashed to the new gps rom. A soft reset will bring everything back for me.
My SanDisk UltraII 2Gb works perfectly so far, both in FAT32 as in good ol' FAT format.
I don't think this is a card compatibility problem, more likely a bug in the OS somewhere or a conflict with some program. I have an SanDisk UltraII card like oVan (don't smile too long oVan ). Everything was fine for two weeks and then I experienced the problem, only the card got corrupted. I did a hardboot and reinstall and it seems to be fine for now.
It did happen after I did a restore created by SPB Backup (latest version). I noticed after the restore some things weren't as they should be. Not sure if it caused the problem or if it was just coincidence.
I think it would be helpful in figuring this out if people posted their Rom versions in case it is a bug in one of the roms, no?
Mine is
Rom: 1.15.405.5 10/23/06
Radio: 1.20.00.11
ExtRom: 1.15.405.101

Same problem here... and i am using a 2gb sandisk minisd card... occasionally I won't be able to see my files... and it will sometime give me weired characters when i open in the explorer... a soft-reset will bring it back to life again, but this is very annoying.... I was thinking that there is a problem with the card or with the brand and was thinking about buying a new card.... but now after reading this thread it looks more like a problem with the device itself

I remember the Magician had a similar problem with the SD card until finally a ROM upgrade became available that would fix the problem.
Early adopters have all the fun
Same with Kingston 2GB
Same here with the Kingston 2GB card. Happened to me both before and after the ROM upgrade. A soft-reset (or ejecting/reinserting the card) fixes it, but it's quite annoying!

I have the same problem with 2 GB Kingston MiniSD.
But I also have a 512 MB MiniSD with this feature.
I sent an email to HTC pointing to this thread and received the following reply:

Can't wait to see what they do with the info...
I have some new information regarding this issue.
I formatted my Kingston MiniSD with another PC and so far so good.
When I used the phone or my home desktop to format I keep getting this problem 4-5 times / day.
But 2 days ago I reformatted my MiniSD with a laptop and since then everything OK.
Maybe you can try the same (try to format another memory reader) and we will see if it helps.
I've tried to reformat the card with a laptop, with a desktop pc (both with card readers) and in the device using storage tools with no success. The symptoms are similar to the ones reported by sdhc card owners. Does anyone made any progress with this?
I had an Apacer 2GB card and I had the same problems. I also first thought it was the card but now... Actually I'm afraid of buying a new card because I alread lost some great pictures/videos.
Hi All,
I have had numerous problems with my 2GB card such as files and directories disappearing; files showing up on Windows when I plug my SD card in, but not on the PPC.
Anyone know the cause of these issues? Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? I don't think it's the new high speed format card either. It's a corsair brand.
Thanks

I have the same problem. its a known issue in the trinity. no solution yet.
waiting for a rom to fix that..
I have no problems with files and directories disappearing and I'm using sandisk 2GB mini sd. It seems like sandisk 2gb doesnt have any problems in TomTom either.
Also using a 2GB Sandisk and no problems whatsoever with any rom version.
No problem with my Sandisk 2G MiniSD too!
Sometimes my phone do not detect the card when it was inserted, but no problem when I insert again. It won't "mssing" or lost data as long as it was regonized.
I think it may related to the brand.
my 2gb minisd corsair card became unreadable yesterday and my phone asked to format it. ( after the phone format i only have 1Gb free space. does anyone knows how to format this card with my phone as a 2gb card, because it seems that my phone format it as a 1gb card?
My 2GB sandisk is working OK too. I think make sure the mini sd card is not a high speed one. Mine is x66

Which Brand do you have?
I have a Kingston 2GB card, and it works great, except Media Player seems to screw things up. There are about 1GB of songs on it, and when Media Player creates the library, it creates a hidden folder on the card called MSMETADATA. Inside the folder it creates some kind of MediaLibrary file, which appears to get corrupted. When it does, trying to play anything from the storage card's library results in a media player error. But deleting that folder and running an Update Library works fine. Selecting a song to play directly also works.
The first time this happened, I couldn't figure out what was going on, and a hard reset didn't fix it. Sticking the card into my PC's media card reader showed me the hidden folder, since I didn't have "Show All Files" turned on on the device. It's happened a couple of times since then. But now that I know what's going on, it's a quick fix. I think removing the card might be what messes it up.

Well, my Sandisk Ultra 2GB was fine until sometime in last couple of weeks.
Now it does not appear at all desipte multiple reinsertions. Need to but another adaptor before I can test in reader. But nothing changed on Trinity - now new apps installed, card never removed from slot - just vanished (not unrecognised - no prompts to format it - it just isn't there).
Any thoughts?
running Dopod ROM on HTC BTW

Hmmm, very strange, I'm sure you tried soft reset. If it works in card reader, I guess you can copy everyting off of it and reformat it, maybe that will help. All this card disappearing stuff with the Trinity is very strange, it never happended with my 4gb SD in my Prophet in over a year. Mind you, I haven't had any problems with my current 4gb mini SD either but it hasn't been that long yet.
Good luck.

OEM card from MobyMemory.com
standard sandisk 2gb seem very reliable, maybe its the high speed ones that cause problems, i ordered 2gb ultra2 & had major problems, ie not detecting & when did it wanted to format then giving me only 968mb,
my 2gb (standard) sandisk works flawlessly
I have a hermes and there i was using a 2 gb sandisk micro sd card for some 5 month...and recently i brought a trinity and then hence im using that micro sd card with a minisd adapter in the trinity...and for last 1 week it worked flawlessly...last night all of a sudden the minisd card disappeared...no sign of storage card like that there has no card inserted...although in the about window it says expention slot in use..but in memory window no storage card installed!! and resco explorer or any other program cant detect the card...
firstly i thought my card is currupted so i inserted it (the micro sd) in my hermes and it worked there without any glitch...even then i formatted it in both fat16 and fat32 in the pc with a card reader but my trinity cant detect the card....
then i thought my mini sd adapter is broken...so i tried the memory card with the minisd adapter in the nokia 6280 and its working there without any probs....and then i tried the 64mb minisd card that came with nokia 6280 in the trinity and WTF my trinity can detect this card and also working with it..that means the card slot of the trinity is ok...
after all of this experiment then i flashed 3 types of rom in the trinity to see if it can detect the card... one is the lsvw edition with gps...(that i was using for a week before this thing happened) then a original htc rom and the dopod australia rom that my set had when i purched it...but all this three rom has same result...can detect 64 mb card (which is nokia oem minisd) but cant detect the 2gb sacdisk (wich is a micro sd to mini sd converted)...
now do anyone have similar kind of problem...or this is a new issue...i dont have any other card to try in this moment.... just ordered a oem 4gb minisd...will get it in next week...
and finally to let you know that my micro sd card is perfectlly working both in hermes and in nokia with the mini sd adapter and i also did a rough test on it with a card reader in computer with the mini sd converted inserted...and no sign of a probs there...
any comment or suggestion would be helpfull...
and a final thing as i brought it in plan from 3 australuia..and im still in that 14 day period...do you thing if i go to a 3 store and told them the setuation will they replace my handset..??i have the dopod australia rom installed so i dont hink they will be able to detect that i had flased other roms...??

Sorry but I disagree. I have been using a standard Sandisk 2GB miniSD for 4 months now without any problem.
i got told it will only support a maximum of a 1gb mini sd?????
Using a 2 GB SanDisk without problems.
I've been using a standard (non SDHC) 4 gb card for 3 months with no major problems. Never had the card 'disappear' completely - only minor file corruption like losing a picture or a ringtone (but it always comes back on soft reset). Only have those types of issues occasionally anyway (like maybe 1 a week - device should be soft reset that often anyway!) Overall, very pleased with the performance of this device.
G'day,
Perhaps you could try formatting the card in the trinity using an OEM tool. My card (1GB Sandisk miniSD) "disappeared" a few weeks ago after using it OK for a month. I used a card reader in my PC to back it up then formatted it using Spb Pocket Plus in the trinity. I was then able to restore the data from the PC using activesync. Worked OK for me and no problems since.
Good luck.
minisd card problem
Dear Customer,
Thanks for your email regarding your P3600.? The issue you describe is something we are aware of and are currently in the process of rectifying.? It seems to be linked in some way to the latest updates to Windows Mobile 5 and as such we have also enlisted Microsoft's help in solving this.? It seems that the device is accessing the memory while it is in an idle state.
We are currently still investigating the matter with the help of our engineers in Taiwan, but in the meantime, to workaround the problem you can set the device to turn itself off after 1 minute in the power options, then let the device turn itself off instead of pressing the power button.
Once we have fixed the problem, I have no doubt it will be released in some sort of ROM update in the near future.
Thank you for your patience in this matter.
Hong Kong's D810 now officially shipped with a 2G miniSD as a gift
Ok,
I also asked HTC europe supoport about the specifications and got an answer per eMail that the P3600 supports mini SD up to 2GB and does NOT support 'ultra' or SD HC-versions.
So perhaps give it a try with a regular (and unfortunately slower) 2GB SD??

A strange developement that i thought better to be share...firstly my 2 gb sandisk micro sd card (converted to mini sd with a adapter) still doesnt work after updating to latest dopod rom and to latest aku 3.3.1 htc rom...setting>memory still says not installed...but if i boot into bootloaded mode and use the trinming.nbh trick to flash my trinity with a nbh file..it does detect the sd card instantly and start flashing without any problem..so it also prove that the sd card slot is ok and it also detect the card in hardware level but it cant recognise in software part...its strange as the same card worked for the 1st 1 week after i brought the d810..!!!!
now does anyone one have more ideas??
and hopefully im getting my topram 4gb card in a days or 2 to test more furthur...in this mean time im really frustated for not able to use tomtom as no space to keep the maps....

Have you reformatted the card using a card reader with XP?
Now...I have maintained many times that my TopRam 4gb works just fine in my Trinity while many others have complained about problems with cards from many different manufacturers, both 2gb and 4gb cards. It may not be just a coincidence that mine has no problems. I always do the WM5 performance tweaks on my devices and yesterday I saw in the Hermes Wiki a reference to a known problem with the storage buffer settings. The fix that it recommends is one of the settings that I always change with my performance tweaks. It cetainly won't hurt, and for all of those people that are constantly complaining about their miniSD cards, maybe you should try it! The other performance tweaks might also help.
Quote from the Hermes Wiki:
Missing/Corrupt SD Card?
This mod seems to make the SD Card more stable, and avoids the problems encountered by some members where the SD Card either disappears or the card 'loses' information until it's ejected then re-inserted.
There are two issues to this. One is that SD Cards that are made in Taiwan seem to have more problems than Japan made cards. Kingston SD Cards are made in Japan, so, they are a relatively good bet. Sandisk and Crucial are made in Taiwan, so seems to have more problems. The second issue is the registry; the default values are just too low.
See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294324
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]"PNPUnloadDelay" = dword:8196
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]"PNPWaitIODelay" = dword:8196
Yeap i tried that performance tweak in both way increased it to 8196 and also decreased it to 1500 nothing helped..
and sure i did format it with two diffrent card reader and also using some other tools like panasonic sd card formater or hp formatting tools...and just a hour ago i tried pertitioning it into two part 1gb/1gb hermes do recognise the card so do the pc in 2 partition mode but trinity cant detect it even now...
and finally as i told you my trinity detect the 64 mb nokia oem minisd card so i also tried partitioning my micro sd into a single 64 partition to find out if it has something to do with the capacity but same result there...
so im bit of confused here...really confused..

Ok now there i have just got my 4gb topram card and the best of all is my trinity can detect it and show the size as 3970 mb!!!! hey..at last....even though i didnt test it throughly yet (that will be done in next couple of hour) but im happy that the problem i mentioned earlier with 2 gb micro sd card now seems was related to the mini sd card converter or with the card itself atlist not have to deal with the phone warrenty and stuff like that...

Have you reformatted the card using a card reader with XP?
Now...I have maintained many times that my TopRam 4gb works just fine in my Trinity while many others have complained about problems with cards from many different manufacturers, both 2gb and 4gb cards. It may not be just a coincidence that mine has no problems. I always do the WM5 performance tweaks on my devices and yesterday I saw in the Hermes Wiki a reference to a known problem with the storage buffer settings. The fix that it recommends is one of the settings that I always change with my performance tweaks. It cetainly won't hurt, and for all of those people that are constantly complaining about their miniSD cards, maybe you should try it! The other performance tweaks might also help.

Missing/Corrupt SD Card?
This mod seems to make the SD Card more stable, and avoids the problems encountered by some members where the SD Card either disappears or the card 'loses' information until it's ejected then re-inserted.
There are two issues to this. One is that SD Cards that are made in Taiwan seem to have more problems than Japan made cards. Kingston SD Cards are made in Japan, so, they are a relatively good bet. Sandisk and Crucial are made in Taiwan, so seems to have more problems. The second issue is the registry; the default values are just too low.

hi, pls cd u link the other tweaks u reccommend?
Ordered a Sandisk 2GB Ultra Mini SD card earlier today..
After reading this perhaps a 1GB would've been a safer bet... Still, worth a try. Would prefer to have the complete EU maps on one card.
Hi guys!
I've read several threads here regarding which cards work and don't work in our machines. One of the main threads is ridiculously long, and describes various reg hacks that do NOT solve the problem.
In my opinion, there is NOTHING worse than a PDA that needs to be rebooted every day or several times a day.
I am starting this thread just to bring the basic information into one place.
I can tell you right now:
I have two 2GB Sandisk MicroSD cards, and one 512MB card.
Not surprisingly, all three have problems in two 8525 devices, with two different WM5 ROM.
I know that the 1GB Made in Japan Kingston seems to work flawlessly.
Can anyone else please share their experiences in this thread? Let's keep it nice and clean, so that people wanting to understand what works and what doesn't.
How are the 2GB Kingston cards? Anyone have any luck?
I have used the SanDisk 2GB with no known issues.
I also have a 2g Sandisk with no issues over nearly 11 months.
I'm not sure you will prove much here as I have seen folks who swear Sandisks are bad and Kingstons (typically 2gig) are flawless. Equally I have seen exactly the reverse views reported. It may have more to do with physical connections (contacts) between device and the card.
But lets see how it pans out.

I have as well and love it. Only issue I have is getting the little sucker out! I just leave it in. The only way I have found to get it out is by opening the back, and using an eye glasses screw driver to slide it out.
sandisk 2g and 1 g here and no issues with either work perfect. um you do know if you push it in it releases the catch and it pops out like its suppose to right?

If only it was that easy. For some reason, mine doesn't do that. I push in, it doesn't pop out
Not AKU2.3?
Hands up those of you who have microSD card problems with AKU2.3 ROMs!
Using a SanDisk 1Gb here no problems. Also using WM5 Build 14955.2.3.0, which is AKU 2.3 is it not?
Mine is the HERM300 (MDA Vario 2).

Kingston 2GB made in Taiwan
Often not responding after loading for a few times. Need to be inserted into the device again.
Toshiba 2GB made in Japan
No problem until now.
Wow, I've got something different!
1GB Corsair MicroSD in my Imate JasJam.
Worked flawlessly for 6 months until I became the new owner of both phone & card, it then had card detection issues for a couple of days, but came good on it's own.
Now on WM6 and still working fine. I'm wondering if larger than 2GB cards will work.
Cheers! Oggy.
I purchased a SanDisk 4gb microSDHC and it DID NOT work!!!
I am now back to using my 2gb A-data microSD (which works fine).
No problems with my A-Data MyFlash 1GB, although once or twice I did have to use a tweezers or a needle to extract it. Just FYI, I bought my card on NewEgg.com, and people there usually leave feedback on if the card worked or not on their particular mobile device.
Very interesting.
So it looks like some people have 2GB Sandisks with NO problems.
Mine pops in and out quite nicely, actually. Although on my dad's unit, you need a tweezers.
Typical......!

I have a 8525, had that issue on day 1 and it was driving me crazy. then I thought let's put a needle down there and see what happens!! the thing lost its virginity, now pops in & out just fine
BTW I have Sandisk 2GB microSD card (Made in Taiwan) which works fine, I just have to eject and reinsert it in sleep mode.. else i'll have to SR so that the device would recognize it.
micro SD not reading
My unlocked M3100 has stopped seeing the storage card - nothing wrong with the card (tested elsewhere), and it used to work (on M3100). How might I rectify this?

My SanDisk 2GB Taiwan card would disappear every other day or so. It wasn't a huge problem as I'd just have to pop it out and push it back in to get everything working again, but I needed another microSD card for another device so I bought a Kingston 2GB hoping to get a Japan card. I ended up with a 2GB Kingston Taiwan card, but it works just fine (a month now) without disappearing *knocks on wood*

I have occasional problems with a 1GB Made in Japan Kingston, so I have to disagree with your statement.
I am convinced that this problem is hardware related. Either a connector fit problem as Michael Channon believes, and/or a motherboard problem as I believe. Earlier Hermes motherboards were manufactured by Hitachi, HTC now uses a different supplier for their motherboards. Rumour has it that the Hitachi mobo's have a problem with the mSD card hardware (could be the same problem I s'pose).

Sandisk 2GB card
I also have a Sandisk 2GB.
It had trouble ejecting the first few times and I had to use tweezers or the tip of a razorblade to get it to slide out but after a very short time it started moving normally.
My 8525 does lose site of the card from time to time and I sometimes have to re-insert it several times before it is recognized but I have not had to reset the phone to get it to come back.
My HD2 either doesn't discover the storage card, or loses it after just a few moments.
I have tried two different cards (the 2GB supplied and my 8GB microSDHC).
Has anyone had a similar problem?
Any ideas?
Or is my phone defective.... Help!
^2 options
either storage card is defective or phone is defective...
seems like you did a cross change...
try another storage card on HD2 and try your HD2 storage card on another phone.
then you know which one causes this.
Usually 95% of the cases its the storage card thats defective
My 8Gb card works in my Xperia X1 - the card is a Sandisk Micro SD HC. Whereas the card supplied is a 2Gb Sandisk Micro SD.
Not sure what HC is.
I assume the HD2 can take a 8Gb card - but unsure about the difference in the cards.

HC = High Capacity IIRC
The HD2 can take an 8gb card.
The cards don't seem to be faulty (that is assuming that you've tested the 2gb also).
Try a reset/hard boot. I have had this issue before with other phones and that sometimes fixes
indeed SD stands for Secure Digital and HC for High Capacity...
the next generation will be SDXC (with eXtended capacity)...but thats coming 2010 or 2011..
anyway seems like your phone has an issue. Because HTC devices of the last few years are all capable of SDHC memory cards and they support either 16 or 32 GB.
I would make use of my warranty. But before try a hard reset.
Thank you all for the information.
The HD2 doesn't like that 8GB SDHC Card. When in the memory section of the phone, it recognises it, displays it used/free space, then shortly afterwards states no card is installed!
A hard reset, if no luck, I'll return it... fingers crossed.
Crap!
Hard reset didn't work! Why do I always get the duff unit!
I find it strange that it detects the card for a while then loses it...
Sending it back tomorrow for exhange....
thats the only reason I'm not such a big fan of online orders...in warranty cases everything takes a little longer.
but don't be discouraged...worse things happen in life. keep your head up
At least in the UK you are covered by Distance Selling Regulations. Hope you get it sorted soon mate!
Did you try to format your SD card?
I faced a similar situation with Diamond 2 where the SD was faulty until I did a quick format Fat32 and it worked perfectly
faced this issue in my touch hd AND x1. try formatting the card - helped me twice.
Did you install SD tune up? I also had the same problem. I uninstalled SD tune up and reset and storage card was found again. also I installed s2u2 but believe it was the former app that caused the problem.
Ah-haaaaaaaaaaa!
Formating to FAT32 has fixed the problem - thank you all for you help and suggestions.
I also must say thanks to HTC tech guru's too who experimented with various memory cards too.
Now to start a new thread on Bluetooth - Car Kit...

I had the same problem with my 16 Gig card. I made a backup of the card on my pc, formatted it and inserted in my HD2 and from that moment I had no problem anymore
