hi!!
i need some help with my mda compact..
i bought a new sd 2Gb card and it wont read it...
its asks to format it and does but nothing else...
thats it..
it cant read it..
I've had the same prob with an 2Gb MMC, and i fix it by unscreawing a bit the top 2 screws of the mainboard (have to open the upper back part). The ideea is to push the card slot backword, until it reads the card correctly, anddoing this with the battery cover on place, to be able to power on your device after uncreawing a bit, to test the rezult. By doing this I fixt also some reading problemsa that i had with other card (when paying movies from the card, it would freez the move until I would pull out the card and put it back again). Hope to be of help.
Hi, Today after a couple of hours trying the phone, when i rebooted the phone, a message showed up saying that the memory was not recognized. After a couple of more reboots, the message changed showing that the memory needed a format, but i could not format it from the phone. After it, i took the battery off to look at the memory, trying to take it off and put it on again, but i could not take the memory off! The memory was below the slot. It looks normal, but i cannot take it off since it is being blocked by a black plastic. I was told that the memory was supposed to go off by pushing the microsd, but i cannot even push it since it is below the slot and not in the slot. I dont know if it is normal, but when i just got the phone, i thought the phone did not have any memory in there, and inserted a microsd of 16gb in this slot. I realized that the memory was still 8gb and not 16gb, so i took the 16gb away. I couldnt see any memory in the slot and after a while i looked that below the slot was a number 8, realizing that that was the memory. At that time, the memory was working properly until i played some music in my car and the application was forced to close. I turned the phone OFF and sine that time, the memory could not be recognized. Please, someone help me!
Thank you guys in advance!
By the way, when i was in the car after the application crashed, after rebooting a couple of times due the memory error, the phone didn't want to turn on. After waiting a couple of minutes, it worked. Now, after a couple of hours with the same memory problem, i turned off the device and now it doesn't turn on, even with the USB connected.
You stuffed two cards in the slot when you first got it?!
i'm confused by ur post. so you are saying you attempted to jam a 16gb into the memory slot because you thought there was no microsd in the memory card slot? only to realize there was a 8gb microsd in there already? if that's the case you probably did some damage to the memory card slot by forcing a 16gb mem card on top of a 8gb mem card. if u purchased it from a retail store, i try taking it back and say the mem card doesn't work without mentioning you jammed another mem card into it.
I tried to since the slot was empty and the empty size was the exact size of a micro sd. When i just got the phone, i could not even take the microsd off since it was below the slot, not in the slot. There was a big empty space in the slot.
??? Did you try shoving it into the SIM card slot??
What do you mean? The micro SD? no. I inserted my SIM card as normal to the SIM Slot. The only thing missing was the memory from the microsd slot. The memory could not be seen and the slot looked empty.
i'm confused did you or did you not jam another 16gb sd slot but you found out there already was a 8gb in it already?
Modders please keep this thread. I sold the X10 to the thread starter and will need this as proof that he damaged the phone himself and requesting refund.
thank you
i don't even know what he is trying to say.. the area below the microsd slot is solid.. so how do you even jam a microsd underneath it? and there's no way in hell you can fit 2 microsd in that tiny microsd slot..the slot itself is almost an exact fit with not much wiggle room.. and beside.. u said you THOUGHT there was no memory card in the phone so you INSERTED a 16gb in only to realize there was an 8gb in there already.. that sentence alone will prevent you from getting any refund out of it..
Ok.. I think I know what he's saying... He's saying that the SD card SLOT was empty so he put a 16Gb card in.. however.. what he didn't realise at the time was that the factory which packaged that phone had attempted to pre-install a Micro SD card already.. but had pushed it underneath the slot instead of pushing it into the slot... Therefore "polostarz" I think that you might need to see the handset before you assume incompetence on the part of this customer... sounds to me like the factory have done the damage.
yes i asked him what he meant so i asked him to send me picture but as you will see the 8gb sd card is where its suppose to be. But looked how he damaged it while forcing it in and out. It was perfect before nothing below or on top of the sd slot.
if it was like that when he first got it he would have told me. but the very first thing he said to me was that he could not find the sd card.
you got a bigger picture? it's awfully tiny to see anything
yes. I assure you that it was in perfect condition when I sold it except the battery cover was a bit squeaky. I sold this on Ebay by the way.

i'm guessing those are the "after" pictures?
It looks like the plastic at the end is broken, don't think this is a production problem.

my battery cover was was also a little bit squeaky.
I just used pincil to draw around the edge of battery cover and I've never heard that sound since then.
I think he couldn't push it because he pushed it downward rather than pushing it as in sliding motion.
The memory is still 8gb because the new 16gb card that he somehow inserted it was on top.
That pretty much damaged the memory slot
I think that is an user error, that is what User Manual for.
yup, I was try to help him with his problem so i asked him to send me pictures. At first, I thought he was trying to put the sd card into the piece of plastic right next to the camera. He sent me pictures and i saw the damage and asked him why is it like that, he said it was like that when he got it. heh
anyone knows how the damaged microSd might have affected the phone and left it unable to be turned on? Try to repair by updating?

My 16gb sandisk micro sd card is no longer being recognized. I booted my HTC HD2 in Android and mounted the sd card to transfer pics to my pc. Just then I got a call coming in and the phone immediately became unresponsive. I kept getting the force close message but I couldn't stop it (it seemed to be in a loop) So I unsafely disconnected the phone from the pc, took out the battery and rebooted it. It started up in windows, but when I went to check for the sd card it could no longer be found. I pull out the card put it back more than twice, and yet the phone failed to recognize my memory card.
Please help me guys
put the sd card into a card reader, connect to your pc and if if its recognised there, it might be a dying card I've lost 1 16GB and an 8GB in 18 months with my hd2
If the pc recognises the card with no error save the date, reformat to primary partition fat 32 using Easeus free edition, also try the phone without the card
Thank u
Hey ..I really do appreciate the time u took to respond. Funny I was thinking the same thing....I broke my old card reader, now I have to get another another on from Amazon.com. As soon as I can lay my hands on one that is gonna be my first move.
Again, thanks a bunch.
P.S
Sadly I feel like an idiot for not backing up my sd card...(more than 3000 photos on there )

After trying the SD Card thru a card reader and if it still doesn't work/recognize it - then your mobile (hd2's)windows is corrupted - coz the same happened with me thrice and ultimately I took it back to the HTC service centre and they re installed the windows 6.5 and since then everythings is working normally and there is no problem with the SD Card anymore, but your old card becomes thrash and you'll have to get a new card :0)

Same here. Lost a sd-card recently but probably due to my own fault.
The card was difficult to get out of the reader (Yup, it seems there is some tolerance on the size) so I had to use some small tweezers.
I finally managed to get it out without any visual damage but after inserting it in the HD2 it couldn't see it anymore, neither in the cardreader afterwards.
What I think is that I had physically bent the card and broke the connections to the actual memory chip.
Some good advice on memory cards and I can't stress this out enough especially for dedicated photo equipment. Instead of buying a 16GB card buy 2 x 8GB and from a known seller and known brand.
The best and probably worst experience example that I can give is from a couple who were on their honeymoon and lost all of their pictures because of a el-cheapo 8GB memorycard.
For a phone it is something else but I made a custom out of it to create a map on my c-drive called sd-card phone. Ok it is not a every week copy but it is handy to have the data on my pc and on my phone.
I brought a XPeria play from Amazon.com that is supposed to be new and appears to be that way. I was super excited to get it...
Except one thing...
The SD Card that the phone come with is not being read properly. It comes with an 8GB card.
I am not sure what brand of card it is. It says 8 GB microsd HC
I even tried using my current SD card that I have in my other phone, also 8 GB made by kingston. Class 4 I believe
Everytime i stick it in there it says SD CARD CAN NOT BE ACCESED
I go into settings and it will at first show 7.40 GB available and then it will change to unavailable.
What can I do?
It is an R800i
I actually had the same problem just a little while ago and I put into my x10 and it said the card had damaged clusters out something like that and it just repaired it, so that could be it or the sd card slot just doesn't work properly
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
Not too sure if this will work, but i guess its worth a shot right?
Format the SD Card ~ Take a backup of everything on it if needs be.
(If you can't do it via the phones settings, use an adapter and do it via your pc)
then place it back in, try to mount it, if it fails; reboot the phone and see if it automatically mounts.
Hope it works if you try it.
Make sure the back of the phone is securely in place, there is a tiny microswitch on the rear of the phone that tells it the back is on, if the back is not on properly, the micro sd will unmount itself.
V20 H918 10j (still on Nougat)
Here's when it happened:
We were going on a road trip so I shut the phone off, took out the SD card (64 gig Sandisk), then the sim card, put the SD card back in and closed up the phone. I did not turn the phone back on. Then put the sim card in my tablet so it would have data. That worked fine.
The next day, I want the sim card back in my phone, so I do the reverse. Boot up the phone and it does not see the SD card at all. I put the SD card in the tablet and the tablet sees it just fine. Back in the phone - no go. I try a couple reboots and nothing. Boot to TWRP, it doesn't see it.
I get home and dirty flash the rom (Ovrdrive). Still doesn't see the card. I try a couple other cards (32 and 64 gig sandisk) which work just fine in other devices and the computer and the phone either doesn't see the cards or it says they are corrupt. So I format a 32 gig card (I did it a couple times in both xfat and fat32), put it in the phone and the phone says it is corrupt and needs to be formatted. So I select format. The format box is immediately at 20% and then it crashes.
I tried using ES File Explorer on the phone to format it but still a no go. I re-flashed the kernel that I have been using for the last year, that didn't help either. I used contact cleaner spray and then even used a soft small paint brush to try and clean the contacts. Nothing.
I had not put any new apps or made any changes to the phone in over a month before this happened. So.... I think somehow the pins for the card somehow got damaged or just old and something just got bent or broken or tweeked. I have another V20 that got water damaged and I looked closely at the SD card pins and compared to the current phone. I can't see any difference.
I'm posting this in case anyone else has had this problem and 1. was able to resolve it or 2. replaced the sim reader and that fixed it. Sim readers on ebay are cheap, but they have to be soldered in. Something that small is beyond my skill level.
There is a thread for the G6 that talks about this same problem. No solution. Speculation about having the card reader replaced. One person did a complete factory reset twice and that didn't work. So I'm left to believe this is a hardware issue.
Cheers.
