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.

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone else is getting intermittent issues w/ their mini-SD card.
I've lost essentially all my data on my 2GB Sandisk on three separate occasions. I have formatted different ways (once w/ RescoExp, and then FAT32 on 2 computers), been v. careful closing my apps and minimizing the amount of writing to the card.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Sandisk's comments are as follows:
"This is a known issue with the devices when they work this way with 2GB and up memory cards. Usually in this cases you just need to contact the manufacturer of the device that you having issues with the reading on, to find out about compatability and what kind of firmware update do you need."
Thanks!
I haven't had any issues with my SanDisk 2gb card using my K-JAM.
Now on other pdas and with other cards, I have had the "lose everything" problem. Two reasons I had...storing email attachments on the and having the unit crash while accessing the card.
My onyl problem with the larger card is my laptop doesn't recognize it
I lost all of my data just last week off of my card, I went ahead ahd reformatted it again, not sure whats wrong with the 2gb cards

I haven't had a single issue with my 2GB TOPRAM card. I have had a few issues where the device doesn't see it (I assume) and renames the folder to Storage Card 2 and creates a new folder "STorage Card" with nothing there. It happens rarely and when it does, I just take the card out, rename the bad folder to StorageCardOld then insert the card again. This corrects the issue. I use the card very heavily and have had it since around the end of January.
I too have had this problem. I hope my suggestion helps.
I've had issues in the past with Sandisk flash cards. My problems were the same as yours until some helpful spark suggested I do a disk error check using windows (right click on drive in explorer>properties>Tools>Error Checking). Format the card and then run the disk check, apparently some Sandisk flash cards exhibit not so rare sector problems. His explanation (the science bit of which I have long since forgotten) was that that by running the disk check, the utility automatically marks the error causing sectors as unusable. The disk can then be used as normal after that, but any reformatting should have the disk check run again to mark the sectors once more.
This has helped me in 2 out of three occasions and so may or may not work for you. Still, I hope this solves your problem.
BS answer from Sandisk
Leighj, that's a BS answer from Sandisk. I guess it would never occur to them that your SD card is defective. Try another card in your machine or that card in another PDA phone if you have either of those options, but if not contact Sandisk and get a replacement. It should have a lifetime warranty, or at least several years.
Have to agree with iclick. My Sandisk cards were basically defective and how I got them running was a workaround and not a solution.
Yes - I wasn't too happy with their response either. Anyway, I just ran through error checking before & after reformatting. Hopefully that works - if not I'm off to shop for a new card. Either way, it's probably the last Sandisk mem card I purchase.
Thanks for your comments!
I have a Sandisk 2Gb Mini-SD as well and I've not had any issues with it so far. If it helps, I've left the card in the factory default format of FAT only - not FAT32. Try putting yours back to FAT and see if you still get any issues. Depending on what program you use the option you want might be labelled as FAT16 instead of just FAT.
I have Sandisk Ultra 2G miniSD, I don't have any problems untill recently. Whenever I try to add my storage capacity to more than 60%, 1GB or more, it gave me an error because the file is write protected and then not responding file transfer.
First, I taught my file is broken, but when I removed other files from the mini SD card and then add it ..... it's work. I used a factory Format type. Do anyone have this problems :?:
Well after contacted Sandisk customer services regarding my memory. They asked me to reformat my card and I did that. through my laptop, but it said that windows cannot complete the format. Now the card is dead. :twisted:
Do the mini sd cards have a lock?
Do these cards have a lock on them? My old SD cards had a slider but I don't see one on the sandisk card.
The miniSD doesn't have a lock, but the miniSD-to-SD adapter does have a slider just like a real SD.
if i take my sd out for any reason it will often take a few goes to get it recognised by the mini s again. I have to remove/insert it as many as 10 times.
I've been using it for a day now and I have started to see problems with it loosing directories overtime, re-inserting the card does correct it. Also I never had any problems with my sandisk 2GB card.
SAme problem here. I'm back to the 2Gb card....
Hoping the next htc rom update will address these mini sd problem, because it seems there are other types of cards having similar problems too.
I've had a T-mobile MDA (USA) for about a month now, and I really enjoy it! But, starting a few days ago, I've been having a lot of trouble with the MiniSD flash memory cards. The first card I had was a Corsair 2GB minisd, it worked fine for about a month, then it mysteriously stopped working a few days ago. I decided to RMA the card, but while I waited for my new one to arrive, I would purchase a cheap 1GB minisd so I could at least have some of my data and programs.
The second miniSd (this one branded with the name of the store I got it from: 'Micro Center') lasted for the past two days. I noticed it was dead this morning.
Here are the symptoms in both cases:
-SD card disappears from device.
-Soft-reset / Hard-reset to find that device wants to format SD card b/c it is unreadable.
-Format SD card, only to find that it disappears from the device once more
-MDA no longer responds to SD card.
For Corsair 2GB MiniSD:
-Attempt to format SD card using desktop PC, which leaves the card with half of it's total memory available (1GB). This is also not readable on the MDA device.
I'm very distraught by this whole incident - is it possible that there is something wrong with my MDA? Or is there a possibility that the programs and data I'm storing on the MiniSD are somehow corrupting it?
There's a T-mobile store near my office, I'm thinking about heading over there on my break to ask about this... but I'm afraid I wont get anywhere with them...
If anyone has any thoughts, suggestions, etc... please let me know!
Thanks
I have issues with my SD card. Quite infrequently the SD card disapears - which is pretty annoying. In my case simply ejecting it and reseating it seems to fix the problem. Occaisonally it becomes a little more problematic.
I think it is a problem with the SD socket on the Wizard, as a friend of mine has the same problem.
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!!
Hi. I bought my Note 3 last year in October and I used my 16GB class 4 SanDisk card. It worked perfectly, it's just that it was pretty slow when saving 1080p/4K videos.
So I decided to buy a 64GB class 10 SanDisk card from Amazon. But I had many problems with the card, images and videos were corrupted etc. Though when trying the card in other devices it worked fine. Also tested it in my computer with software that filled the card with 64GB of data to verify that it was 64GB. I also manually filled the card with 64GB of images and videos and nothing was corrupt.
So I decided to just use the phone without an SD card and that is what I have been doing for the last 5 months.
Now I wanted to use my 16GB card again but it isn't detected at all. I have tried three different cards but nothing happens. I have tried everything I can think of, factory reset amongst other things.
I'm using stock rom and it isn't rooted. Do you have an idea what could be the problem? Perhaps it's simply faulty somehow?

The myth is samsung devices works great with Samsung memory cards, and always have issue with other branded cards. I’ve been using many Samsung phones with Samsung cards and never ever had any issues.
The corrupted video files, data errors etc are surely due to the using of SanDisk card. But as its now not detected at all that I cant say. It could be an hardware issue too. But try with another card or few other cards, if its not detecting any of them then it’s a hardware issues.
But if it detect others then try/test any Samsung card before buying or get one I’m sure it will work perfectly.
