Hi,
I've had a 1GB SD card in my wizard for months with no problems at all. I had some software installed on the card and the other day I wanted to free up some space so I uninstalled the apps that were on the card (SPB time, SPB shell and Brain school)...Since then, my phone does not recognise the SD card. There are no errors or anything it just doesn't register that the card is there. I've done a factory reset but this has not helped.
I'm running WM5 with a moleski updated ROM that has been on the phone probably a year or so
Any ideas?
I guess the card must be knackered, I tried it in my camera and the camera wouldn't work either. weird how just removing software could kill the SD card...
Run the card in a card reader on a computer. There, you should be able to do a long format/bad sector search. This will tell you once and for all if it's dead. It's the only way to be sure.
i have exactly the same problem and its happened twice now. the data is fine on the card just wm5 doesnt recognise its existence any more... if you wipe your phone and start again it pops back to life
I've tried a factory reset (hold the four buttons then press send) but this hasn't fixed the problem....I need to buy a card reader I guess to check for sure
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. I synced the phone with the PC and again there is only the phone memory... I put out the card and then inserted again, boot the phone, but the problem didn't solved... Can someone help me please

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?

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.

Then maybe we're dealing with more than one issue here..
Right now I'm trying to use my 8GB now and see if the issue should occur this time..

Hello
About 12hrs ago, everything on my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone was working perfectly fine.
I was using my camera to record a video when the playblack crashed and the phone suddenly did a restart. When the phone booted back up again, the phone could no longer read the SD Card. I did several restarts and took out the SD Card and put it back in again and still the phone refuses to see the SD Card.
I know the problem ISN'T the SD Card because when I put the SD card into an adapter and plug it into my computer, the computer can read and see everything on the card.
Any one else have this problem and know how to solve it?
My phone isn't rooted or hacked
Thanks!

-Go to setting/storage and check what is the status for the external SD. May be it is not mounted.
- second check if you get any other SD card to test the phone behavior with it.

I tried a 16G SD card and it connected perfectly.
is there an App which forces the phone to mount the SD Card?

Save your SD card content to your computer and reformat it direct from the phone. If it is successful revert back the data et voilà!
if not Ok it is something wrong with the memory card itself...
I have similar problem. Two days ago suddenly I got message SD card unexpected removed. That puzzled me because I didn't touch SD card at all. Turned phone off and on and seemed to be ok since yesterday. I had SD card removed message again and phone doesn't see any card anymore. I tried bunch of SD cards and no luck. Reset my phone, reinstalled firmware and still nothing. Opened even my phone check sim and SD card board connector.
All my SD card tested, formatted on PC. Any ideas?
So my camera went crazy and refused to start. So I reset my phone and the camera was working correctly only now my SD card isn't being read by the phone. It works in other devices. But whenever I put it in my phone is auto goes to the screen that says encrypt or decrypt SD.. And when I put any SD card in it does the same thing. And when I go to storage is says "Ready" under SD card. Is there a fix for this ID rather not reset but I will of I have too. And one had this happen to them
Update.... I clicked decrypt and it worked this time. For some reason I can't encrypt anymore. Oh well works now
I wiped the dalvik cache on my phone using flashfire and for some reason, wifi settings were erased and the apps on my SD card can't be seen by my phone (not in the app tray or application manager). Is there a fix to this?
I know that the apps are still on the card because the amount of storage used on it hasn't dropped at all.
try taking out the sd card and putting it back in. It should cause the phone to re detect the card again.
