really odd MicroSD problem

well been using the standerd 2gb sd card with my phone fine but upgraded toa 16gb card over the last 2 days...
soo i took the files of my old card using active sync
put the new card in the phone.. formatted it then transfered the new files.. gets to about 250mb then says... write protected please make sure the file is not in use bla bla.. sometimes it gets to 2gb but it always does it on a diffrent file and none of them are protected and the card shouldent be as its formatted and 16gb
can anybody help or does anybody think its a duff card?
any help would be much greatful!
Thank you
Sam Morgan

forgot to say the sd card quick fix is installed aswell

Don't use Activesync to copy the files - use Disk Mode.

tried using disk mode but still get the dodgey things of writing a certain amout.. not being able to delete some files.. even after i just put them on there... any way ive orderd a new class 6 16gb card from a data and hopefully should do the trick as i think this chinese crap is duff

your case sounds awfully familiar to those of the people who bought the "16gb usb pendrive" from chinese resellers, which were actually 1gb pendrives with modified onboard chips to make it appear as 16gb devices. The first GB you copied was fine, but whenever you tried to access data over that limit wyou would obviously get errors. In this case, if you bought a cheapo card from an "unkown" seller, he probably gave you a 256MB hacked microsd.

also worth making sure the card is formatted to fat 32,4096 block size for best results.

thanks for the replies guys...
samsamuel: i used the formatting tool on the phone
oh just tried formatting again it saud card is broken or damaged then tried againa and let me format it... must be broken then

microsd card destroyed by flashing rom?

hello everyone.
i have a problem and i hope you guys can help me by sharing your idea's / thoughts.
the problem is that my Sandisk 8gb class 2 isnt recognised by anything anymore.. here is my story what led to this event.
i was going to flash a new rom. so i removed sim and sd card (removed my card becouse i was using mtty task 29 with radio and was affraid it would remove the data on there too.) anyway after that was done i flashed EnergyROM with max sense. but it was the different max sense that i was hoping for so i flashed to energyrom 17th march with cookie shortly after. i installed some programs from storage card.. seemed to work fine. i plugged it in my computer as a disk drive, put some programs on it. it was busy and then it disappeared. it wouldnt show up on the phone to so i soft reset it. still nothing.. i hard reset and it still was gone.. then i put it in a sd adapter and into my laptop. wouldnt show there too. so can it be that it got ****ed up by the rom? (becouse there are other ppl having this issue)
any help would be welcome..

You've mentioned in your post that it stopped working whilst connected to your computer, so how would it be the ROM causing the issue?

i am not sure about that but there are 2 other people i saw in the energyrom threat posting about the same subject. (here and here) since there is not much help about the subject there and im not sure its even rom related i came here to ask for help.
i read somewhere that it could be possibly fixed by putting the card for 2 hours in the freezer. but that didnt work for me..

Hello Jamieeeee,
I couldn't agree you more ... ! I have exactly the same encounter as you. My Sandisk 8G card is corrupted soon after flashing EnergyRom Maxmanila for a few hours (Before flashing, I removed my sim and sd card). Then, I put the card in three different computers hoping that I could recover the files but failed. Still searching for resolutions!

Could this be hd2 or sd card's problem?

your hd2's came with an 8 gig? mine came with a 16 gig. sweet!
yeah, that sux tho. did you try reformating the card?

the 16gb sd card that came with this phone seems very cheap.. when i tried to copy a few GB of music and a couple movies on mine (through activesync) it kept crashing..
the phone would say it recognized a sd card inserted, but it wouldnt scan it nor did the pc detect the "drive"
i had to reset the phone several times durring the transfer..
finally i just went with a better quality 8gb sd card i had.. its much faster.
i was going to try to contact tmobile and now that ive seen posts about the sd card i think i will.

hi all
Regarding this problem we all are having i think its got to do with the energy rom somewhere as i have flashed different energy roms and SD card appear for so long and then disappear. After taking battery out and then it will reappear again and disappear again.
I got it to stay on one rom installed all programs i needed etc then did a reset it disappeared and still gone but it can re read by a card reader so not corrupted.
so it's got something to do the Energy rom i think.
any thoughts ?
Eggie

not related to rom
i too had the same problem with stock rom and if i recall well two more users got this problem with hd2 with stock rom. i also have got the stock sandisk 8gb. all people having this problem here have got the 8gb?? i think the problem is with the 8gb card supplied with the phone.

Are you able to read it from your PC? Use a card reader and read it through your PC.

If you formatted the card in NTFS then the phone will not be able to read it. You'll need to format it in FAT32 with atleast an 8KB allocation unit size (this will help a little bit with speed)

still
hi,thank u for replying my previous post..
i still cant read my sd card..i've tried to format it using pc and using fat32 but still it wont work.. is there anymore posibilities?

it might be a duff sd card. i had this problem last week. all of a sudden my sandisk 8gig sd card wouldnt work , my phone wouldnt read it and nor could my pc. i tryed formatting it on my pc. but my phone still woundnt read it. i have heard that the hd2 sometimes does this to sd cards .
i bought mine from carphone warehouse so i rang them and they said i could get a replacement so that has saved me 20 quid.
i would probaly get a new sd card.

thanks mate..appreciate it

having similar problems with my 2g sandisk card that came with the phone. except somwtimes it doesnt get recognised then out of the blue starts working. ahen its not recognised the phone knows a card is inserted. with file explorer open if i plug it in it jumps to the bottom of the file list but no sdcard shpws.
its weird as it just starts workibg again. no apparent data loss. gonna get a better card

My SD card drains the battery on the HD2.
Any suggestions??

[Q] Phone Storage not mounted? SD Card not reading?

Hi i would like to ask to fellow seniors and developers of xda,
Why does my phone says phone storage is not mounted? I tried everything from factory data reset to the PHV ( Power + Home + Volume Up ) buttons. And it seems nothing is working. I have been looking for answers for days. And i dont think anyone has this problem than me. Im the only one with the problem. SD Card is not reading as well. I tried my SD Card on my wife's SM-N900 ( same as mine ) and it work well. Nothing happened. Is there any solution to this? Please help me solve this issue. Thank you for your time. /;

It might be a hardware problem specific to your phone - a bad contact or something similar. Test with 2-3 different micro-SD cards that all are (recently) tested and working fine in other phones.

Does the card work (is it seen) in another phone? If yest try to format it on the pc and see if it is recognised then in the N3, if not the card may be damaged.

Yes it worked well on other phone's via alcatel. So it means that there's something wrong with my hardware right ? How do i change the firmware? Maybe something went wrong with its firmware? It has never fell before since its brand new..

Hi suddenly the SD card starts functioning and today it goes on and off means, sometimes it reads by itself and other time it gives blank sd card.
My note 3 is not rooted and Samsung guys informed that warranty ceases with rooting.
Can I have other workaround without rooting.
Thanks a lot for the support.
