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.

The smilar problem occured with one of my XDA-II (Himaliya), Even though I have hard reseted the device. Finnaly I have backuped the card through the pc and format the card (on PC) and it wasn't working, even though I have tried 3 other cards and they were working absolutely fine with the device. What I did was to leave the card inside the device for overnight and it was recognisable in the morning, then I took out the card from the device to put the data back from the PC and once I have put the card back in the device the card wasn't recognisable again, So finaly I left the card again in the device overnight and it was recognisable again, then I left the card in the device and put the data back through the syncronisation.
I haven't taken out the card since then because I know there is some recognising problem between the device & the card, its working since then.
My Advice is : To check another card and if that would work then try to sell your current card and buy another.
My advice 02: Try to backup your device, leave the card inside the device and HARD Reset the device & once the device will install newly it should configure the card as well.
I have got very usefull software "storagetools" (trial) by which you can scan, format & defrag the card, you can try it.
GoodLuck

Use chkdsk on the PC to check your storage card (instead of any PPC-based software, including Storage Tools). I also recommend the thread at http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=39583 on all these q's.
On a related issue concerning problems with microSD cards and the TyTn, I have a problem which I hope you can help me with:
I have a new TyTn (ROM Ver. 1.18.255.3) with a 512mb miniSD card. In the course of my usual usage, the device hanged and after a few minutes of unresponsiveness, I reset the device using the reset button. When it rebooted, the card is no longer recognized by the phone. I used a card reader and WinXP and Mac OSX cannot also recognize it. If I try to format it (XP), XP says that the card cannot be formatted. I tried using it in my Samsung D820 and it cannot also be formatted. I then concluded that the card was defective and bought a new one (512mb).
After using the new card for a week, my TyTn hanged while accessing a program installed in the card. Again after a few minutes of unresponsiveness, I rebooted the phone using the reboot button. When the device booted-- Bam!!! the card can no longer be recognized by my phone! Windows and Mac OSX cannot mount it. I tried the unrecognized card in my Samsung D820 and it is recognized! I inserted the miniSD card (128mb) originally in my D820 in my TyTn and it is recognized/read by the TyTn. I formatted the defective card in the D820 and copied a few files in it and the D820 can read those files but my TyTn can't! I tried the other 128mb card on my TyTn, formatted it and copied files into it and everything's fine.
How come then that the 512mb card can be read by my Samsung phone and not by the TyTn? My TyTn is certainly not defective because It can access the 128mb card that was originally in my D820. As I stated earlier, I have already formatted the 512mb card in my Samsung phone and have transferred files into it (The Samsung phone can read the files written on it).
I have re-inserted the 512mb card numerous times in my TyTn to no avail. I have also rebooted my TyTn several times and still it cannot recognize/read the 512mb card. I am now using the 128mb card that I originally use in my Samsung D820.
If it can help, I have enabled and unlocked my TyTn's extended ROM. I have a few programs that are installed in my Ext ROM.
Thanks!
Similar card problem
I recently purchased the T Mobile MDA Vario2 with the CoPilot 6 software. worked fine for about a week and then the CoPilot software which was running from the memory card started to hang intermittently. The first couple of times a soft reset cured it. Then after about the third soft reset, the memory card was no longer recognised. Tried reading the card via my pc and that couldn't recognise it either.
Took both the phone and card back to T Mobile where a new card was tried, this was recognised immediately so I now have to take the whole CoPilot package back to be replaced.
I have also just orderd a new 1GB sandisk card from Amazon and am now concerned that this is going to be a repeating issue. I wonder how many other owners have had this problem and if it is actually a fault with the Vario2 or wether I have just been unlucky with a dodgy memory card.
Would appreciate other thoughts on this.
Cheers

I think that enabling the "Advance network functionality" causes the corruption of memory cards.

Hi,
I recently bought a 4GB SDHC card for my Hermes (Josh's V15 WinterRom Light). Everything seemed to work just fine, but after a couple of hours data on the card started to randomly disappear. File explorer shows empty directories. When I insert the card into PC with Linux I can read the data, but the system reports corruption and all the files are read-only.
I tried lowering TransferBlockSize in the registry but this only delayed the data loss. Is there anything else I can do or is this card faulty?
bump!
bump!
anyone?
Could be the card, especially if you had another sd card and didn't have this problem. I'd do a backup on PC, format sd card FAT32 again an then restore the info. If it still seems to leach the data away then I'd get the sd card replaced with a new sd card.
Cheers...
Also use a can of compressed air to clean out the sd card slot on your Hermes, may help, may not but it will eliminate a suspect that the sd card reader needs to be cleaned.
I did format the card several times with FAT32. It was only a matter of time for data loss to appear.
Hermes worked fine with 1GB SD card. I did not have any problems using the 4GB SDHC in my laptop but then again maybe it wasn't used frequently enough.
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.
I have been using a 4GB micro Sd card for some time now.
But decided id fork out for a 16GB atlast.
Fitted the 16GB last night, No problem, Bought FPSECE 0.10 support version and a few games.
Today at work, Lunch time I pulled out my htc hd2 to enjoy abit of gaming and showing off the phone, But the Sd card was not found. I restarted the phone several times, tried everything, then decided I would format the phone.
After a format, The card was found again! yay I thought, but lunch was over so,now im home from work, The SD card is no longer read... I have now tried my 2GB micro SD card, My 4GB Micro SD card and my 16GB Micro SD card, All of which wont detect in the HD2, But will in my ORBIT 2 and PC card reader.
Is it a software fault, Or a hardware fault?
Thanks
Ok
Just formatted the phone again. Instantly the Sd card was readable.
So I formatted the card from the phone..Now just hoping for the best.
My guess is some software must have had a bug or virus or something blocking the sd card from being read on the hd2.
Odd.
Its SW problem not HW. I had a same prob after I installed the " tnyynt SD TuneUp " tweak. You just need to find what it is in your phone.Not easy task
Try different ROM-easier way
16gb sdhc card failed after restart.
When it is working (Straight after format) put anything more than 500mb of data on it and it screws up!
Data transfere is around 300kb/s!!! takes the monkey abit.
Then after a soft reset, Its gone again.
I conclude the SD card is defective. I shall be getting a refund.
Would it be possible for me to copy the entire contents of my 8gb and paste on folder on pc, then put in new 16bb card and paste the lot back onto the new one, would everything work ok? as i have most if not all my apps instlled on my storage card, has anyone done this b4 and is it possible?
Thanks
I've wondered that myself, as long as the new card is properly formated then in theory it should be fine..... never actually done it though so don't take my word for it.
Maybe someone can clear this up, by format properly what do you mean by this?
I have done that twice without any problems. Just rember to show all files in the explorere on the PC.
I have previously done it twice with no problems but i just swapped my 16gb to a 32gb and it wouldnt have none of it????? I have had to return the card thinking its faulty? But i will do the exact thing once i receive my replacement

I got a Sandisk 16Gb card and though it was faulty as HD2 wouldn't read it. Examining it on PC showed it was formated as 'exFAT'. Reformatted to 'FAT' and copied data across and now all OK.
i've done this on every winmo phone i have had where a sd card upgrade was required. Just make sure you have the phone off while to do it and use a card reader just to be safe
dont have a card reader, know how to format to fat on pc via disc drive mode, will just copying all to pc, and ensuring all files are showing and not hidden then would this be ok?
the 32gb came formatted in fat32? I have been told that my replacement will be here tomorrow
yeah if you format the card to fat your gonna damage the card. stick to fat32 and use a 32KB allocation unit size. you do it be finding the drive in my computer, right clicking and hitting format. Setup your options and go.
Card readers are best for this type of work and you can pick one up less than £10 from amazon.co.uk. Just make sure it says it supports SDHC cards.
CHEAP MicroSD reader....
