Hey! I love the forum!
Anyway, about three days ago, my Wizard just decided to stop recognizing my MiniSD card. My computer can still recognize/read/write/etc. to the SD card, however.
Here is my Device Info:
Rom Version: 3.3.0.0 WWE
Rom Date: 11/10/06
Radio Version: 02.25.11
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.12
ExtROM Version: Faria V4.0
When I insert the SD card, the backlight comes on, so I know the Wizard knows it is there, but when I go to the Memory Settings, and I click on the Storage Card tab, it says it is not installed.
Thanks in advance!
Check in the File Explorer.
I have had the the Storage Card listed as Storage Card and another as Storage Card2 at the same time.
The Storage Card is a temporary folder and the real storage card is Storage Card2.
Delete Storage Card, reset and Storage Card2 becomes Storage Card and all should be well.
DO CHECK THE CONTENTS OF EACH STORAGE CARD FOLDER IF THIS HAS HAPPENED AND DELETE THE RIGHT ONE.
If this is not the case, sorry can't offer any other answer.
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately that did not work.
This is really confusing me now.
As a last resort, you could format the card, then remove the partition and let the phone try to format the card. Of course, you would loose everything in your card. I had a problem with the phone not recognizing a card that I formatted with my laptop. But there differences for your situation is that your card was working and when you stick the card in, the phone gives some indication that it knows the card is in there. For me, the phone gave no indication that a card was inserted. Like I said, this would be a last resort.
That's what my 1gb sandisk did. one day it just disappeared. if I popped it in my lappy, it read it fine. So I copied the contentd to the desktop, reformated and copied back, life was back to normal.
Thanks for the help! Reformatting did the trick
*Loves this forum*
Reformatting didn't work for me...
Hi folks... i have the same issue described above... and i did reformat my sd... but it stil doesn't work... i tried to format with fat32 and fat.... no one solved the problem. My laptop can read the card without problems... but my wizard... no signal. Any help? thanks
Should be formatted as FAT, not FAT32.
Do a scan-disk on the card and look for bad sectors. Try to repair or disable the bad sectors, and you'll get some more time on that SD card, but once the sectors start going bad, your SD card's days are numbered, and it's a small number.
Nothing yet...
Thanks for the tips, but it's stil not working... i flashed a WM5 ROM, and it recognized my microSD again... but a few soft resets later... and it's gone. Now i'm using AMP v.2, i flashed it just today, and there is no signal of any Memory card instaled... (by the way, i did format it into fat32 and made a scandisk...) Any other idea? Thanks in advance.
Did you try to let the phone format the card? When I let my laptop format the card, I could not read it in my phone. When I formatted the card in my phone, then I couldn't read it on my laptop. Weird, but true.
A way to make it work...
Well... i think i found a way to make my wizard see the SD card... but it's deffinitely not a pleasant way... Every time i hard reset my wizard, it comes back recognizing my SD... but then i have to instal everything again... About the last topic, i'm not an expert here... how can i format my sd from the pda? (hum... i think i already said... but there goes again: I'm using a G4 with AMPv.2) Thanks one more time...
Update...
A couple of soft resets... and the SD is gone again...
My wizard won't read the SD either. I formatted, disk checked and still nothing..
Whats funny is that on WM5 it worked great, once i upgraded to WM6.1,,, crapped out.
any suggestions?
thanks
Big problem...
Hello guys! It looks like sd loss is a real problem even with other devices... i did read a lot of pages about this issue, but til now i didn't find any solution that worked for me. Anyway, here goes some ideas, if it works for someone, please tell me!
Make a registry change: hklm>>>drivers>>>SDclass>>>disablepowermanagement: 0. (change this for 1, soft reset and try again...)
Any other idea? please guys, I have to make it work! My wizard is almost useless without the SD card... Thanks.
How to format it in the phone? I even cannot find a SD. Shall I start Wizard or what?

I have a 2gb storage card that use to work before I bricked my phone. So, I sent it to Cingular for them to fix it and they did. But now I am trying to install back the files I had on my 2gb storage card and its not showing up on the phone. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
i would try another sdcard
try the sdcard in a sdcardreader
if both resulted in failure i would say that
they by fixing 1 thing broke another
I think they replaced the motherboard. I dont know if they gave me a defective one.
i am having the same problem...Ive had my storage card for quite a while now and had 1g of memory used up and now all of a sudden none of my music or photos that are on the card are being shown. It still detects my storage card and that the space is used but i cant find the files anywhere.

Removing and re-inserting the card as well as performing a soft reset can make vanished files re-appear. However it depends whether there is corruption on the card.
Does the card work using a card reader on the PC?
If it does and you have tried the above, then I would copy everything from the card to the PC, reformat the card and then put everything back again. If the PC does not see all the files either then you may, if it's worth it, try some software to recover files from the corrupted card. (This os often not 100% successful, but worth a try of there is something vital on there).

I have 3 8525's that are not detecting the 2G memory card when it is inserted. I have to perform a soft-reset in order for the device to recognize it. I now the cards are good because they work in my Axim.
I have 4 2G memory cards doing this which are Kingston & Sandisk. Two of the SanDisk cards are brand new.
Are there any known issues?
I have this problem as well. I'm not sure what the source is.
I cannot even get it to work with a soft reset though.
The card I have is a 1Gb Kingston, and it definitely works because I tested it on my computer.
I guess I'll Just call Cingular when I have a bigger problem at hand.
2gb sandisk card on 8525
I used to have this proem on a brand new card. I would put it in and nothing would happen. But insert in my PC, and it works. What I did was format it to fat32 (from the factory installed FAT) put it in the 8525 and it showed up. Just to test again, tried formatting back to FAT and didn't work again. back to FAT32 and no more probs. Hope it helps for you guys.
Hello everybody, I'm new here and I'm having a strange problem with my Hermes.
Sometime ago I downloaded the slide2unlock cab and installed it. Then I removed it for some reason. Last week I inserted my sd in the computer and it asked me to format the card. There was no way to get into the sd and I lost all my data.
Now, after having formatted my sd, the device is continually hanging and when I put it in standby it always turns on automatically. Most of the times it also doesn't recognize the sd card and I have to reboot.
Can anyone help me, please?
Did you reformat the sd card FAT32? Its the preferred format but they seem to come formatted FAT by default.
Check to see if the sd card is still being detected by the PC, if it isn't then its time to get a new sd card.
Had you installed any apps on the sd card that might be causing problems.
Not from the sd card but I have had apps that, though I'd installed to the sd card, had installed the exe file onto my Hermes and a heap of data files onto the card.
Otherwise, might be time for a Hard reset...
Tanks for the fast answer. The sd card is formatted to FAT (not FAT32) and now is working in the computer.
Regarding programs installed in the sd, the problem could be exactly the slide2unlock, but I've removed it sometimes ago.
Only other thing to do wopuld be to do a hard reset. !st backup up your contacts to the sd card with spb backup(has a demo of 5 backup/re-installs). Needs to registered but you can at least backup contacts and messages then re-install after HR.
Hard reset should fix all your problems.
Cheers...
The storage card in my phone has started vanishing. After a reset the card is visible but after a period of time it is no longer visible and can not be accessed, this period can vary from about two minutes to a couple of hours. I have performed a hard reset and that has not helped and when I tried to format the disc using Professional Mechanic I receiving a message saying that it is not possible to format the card.
Is it just that the SD card has become corrupted, if that is the case I will buy a new one?
Thanks
Michael
Try with another card, if you do not get the same problem, then it might be your card's issue. If you face the same problem with another card, I could be your phone's reader problem. I suspect is the card because you can't even format it...
Funny, on friday the same happened to me! Tried a lot, as well to save all data on my HDD, but it was not possible. Somehow several sectors are corrupt, and in the phone the SD disapears when the phone reads certain sectors, eg do a clean up scan with SkTools, or use the media player browser. Then it will be gone.
Today i did send it back to my distributor, as my one is a SanDisk, and they offer 60month of guarantee.
Good luck with your SD!
Try at first to save all Data before you try anything else! Otherwhise you might loose some data...
I have bought a new Micro SD card and everything is now working. Bought a smaller card and will see if that helps and prevents this card getting corrupted.
Well, I used mine a lot in the sd-adapter and the cardreader of the PC. And I read on the web that everyone recommends to use it only via mini-usb. Seems as if otherwhise the damage can come up. So maybe just use the mini-usb. I am so waiting for the replacement, hopefully tomorrow it will arrive!
Exactly the same problem with my Jade and a micro sd sandisk 8Go.
When soft reset it appears but if I try any operation on the sd (read, write, execute ...) it vanished.
I had the same problem friday night. On saturday I tried everything. Hard reset. Flashed a different rom... I was travelling and I didn't have an adapter for the micro SD to insert it on my notebook. When I got home I tried to copy everything from th card to my notebook and I found out some files were damaged. I formated the micro sd thought my notebook and coppied back the files that weren't damaged. After that it's been working fine!!!

EDIT : no, still the problem
DID U FORMAT THE SD? IS IT SANDISK? IF YES 2X REPLACE IT ia warranty...
Yes it is a sandisk 8Go.
I just bought a card reader and format on the PC (I was not able to format with all the softs I have tried on the Jade). Everything seems fine.
I've got the same problem. I've been using a Sandisk 16Gb for 8 months in my Jade without any problems until I updated the ROM with the new official ROM from HTC!
HTC were very unhelpful. All they would say is that the Jade can only use up to 4Gb cards. I tried to recover the data, via the USB as it showed up as empty if put in a reader. Tried formatting it but the standard XP tool wouldn't work so downloaded a formatting tool which worked.
It has worked fine for about a month, now its doing it again. I haven't tried a different card but I'm sure its not coincidence that it only started doing this after updating the ROM.
Is there any way to get the original ROM back. I know elsewhere on this site there are loads of ROM's available for flashing but I'm not ready to go down this route just yet. Does it need HSPL to put an original ROM back on?
Thanks,
Woolly.
Well, This morning about an hour ago, i opened Total Commander and saw that there is no flash card I restarted the device, but the problem persisted.

First, try ejecting and reinserting the card in another device.
Try connecting in Disk Drive mode to save data.
Try using the card in a card reader to save data.
Try using the card in a camera to save data.
If all fails, try to format the card using HD2, card reader or camera.
did you install sd tuneup, speed or whatever its called?
if so uninstall it, cause it makes the storage card dissapear in file explorer among others...
So, I've tried to connect via DISK DRIVE and i succeeded. Ive done backup on my PC and than format the card from PC. But this isn't solving the problem. No way to see the card in the phone except the DISK DRIVE mode.
EDIT: The only one application that see the memory card is FORMAT SD CARD, I formatted the card for second time, this time with that app, but also that didnt helped. The phone says that there is not installed sd card...
I dont want to hard reset the phone, because I've installed so much applications and so much registry optimizations...

Maybe one of those is the culprit.
Hmm, I dont know, it was working, until I went to eat, and when I backed, the card disappeared. :/
someone?
very weird...
Seems like I have a somewhat similar problem but in my case, the storage card is "only" disappearing until I switch off/on or reset my HD2.
Any help would be highly appreciated
Did you change these registry keys?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585729
This might be a silly question but...
...you don't have it plugged into a PC do you?
This problem happens to me only when i scroll to music and photos in Sense tabs.. The application tries to read photos or music from the SD that's when the sdcard disappears after that..
Any suggestions?
Just flashed to 1.48.xxx.x this morning and i still have the same problem..
the missing storage card is a symptom of a problem on your card. What happens is that the Windows Mobile would poll/query the card as it tries to access the file, if the card doesn't respond within the threshold window, the system will assume the card is no longer there, and therefore will 'hide' the storage card in the file explorer.
If your card has a bad memory location, the above will happen. Sometimes a reformat might help, but in my case, I have this problem reoccuring after awhile after a format, so I went on to have it replaced by the dealer.
I hope this is not another bug! The same happened with my 16 GB card. I tried it in another device and it no longer worked in that one either. I just thought it was the sd card faulty.

I've been using it on my HD and it was fine, it was fine on my HD2 too the first 4 days then after that it happened, keeps disappearing...
I'll check another SD card for a day, but until then i'm hoping to get a solution for my 16GB disappearing card..
The only way to get your card working is to hard reset your HD2, very, very weird... :/

same has happened to me, my lovely 16gb is now not working, using the 2gb that came with the HD2...
happened after i took it out to show someone, put it back in, it says its there, after a short file "no sd card".
im going to by a new one but before that i will try it in my sd card reader on my laptop.

I searched the forum, Google and whatnot. But no solution seemed to help me with this problem. About a week ago my MicroSD card dissappeard on my Touch HD. I removed the SD card, put it back in and it was there again. The next day, it happened to me again. I tried to do the same as I did before, but this wouldn't help.
I have changed the registry according to this page right here, but that didn't help either.
Now thinking it was a ROM problem, I upgraded to Miri's v15 and the problem is still there. Then again I changed the registry values. But my SD Card is still missing. Does this mean my SD card is broken? Or does anybody have an other solution that might work?
Thanks in advance!
SD
Formatage sd Doit Etre Suffisant (FAT 32)
Seems your SD card is broken, the same happend to me some time back.
I'm not sure if you understood the non English post above, but it seems they are suggesting the same as I'm about to.
Try to format your sd card on your pc using a card reader. Format it to FAT32. If you are lucky you may still be able to retrieve the data off of it via the pc, if so back it up to your pc, format the card and then you can transfer the data back.
It does sound like those above have suggested. You'll need to format your SD Card. Make sure you backup whatever files you have on it first
I recognize the problem, I've also had this, first check your sd card for the problem, those things are very fragile...
android
Hi, thbis happend to me when i was testing android, I lst all my data but was able to repair it and get it working intermittently by reformatting it. It turned out to be the shelby ROM I was using as when I reflashed with a different ROM the problem went away, it may have been android that corrupted the driver or something but starting from scratch with a new rom and reformatted card worked for me.
Thanks for your support. Today I formatted my MicroSD card with a Nokia phone. This phone recognized my SD Card AND all of the files that where on there. Replacing my SD card with the one in the Nokia gave me the same problem. My Touch HD wouldn't recognize the SD Card. So I guess it's a problem with my Touch HD then?
Knowing that the registry edit didn't work, what else can I try? Don't really feel like flashing to a stock rom and sending it to HTC...
*bump* anyone ? My MicroSD card still isn't working
You checked for bent pins or some form of obstruction in the microsd slot? If you tried another card and same problem then it's going to be the device somehow.
I did a hard reset on my Touch HD. It works.
