Hello. I have a problem regarding my vizibility of the sd card on the device. I used to manage it on HTC touch HD, and now, I want to use it on Diamond 2. But it is not recognized by Diamond 2. I've format it quick, low (longer), fat, fat32, ntfs, but without succes. I've installed 3 different ROM's, but still nothing. On the PC is working without any problems. It is an 4GB microSD HC card
you mean your TD2 can't even detect the microSD when you go to File Explorer?
yes. i cannot see at all the microsd on my device. only on the PC.
and i've tried also 2 different microSD cards: 1gb, and 2gb (Nokia this one) and is working with those one. I've tried my microSD card on a Nokia and htc p3300 and is working.

I presume the roms were not loaded via the microSD, then? Do you see the microSD cards via ActiveSync?
nop, not at all. I cannot see the microSD in any other way (not even microsoft active center - Windows 7). But, those 2 microSD (1, 2gb) i can see. And yes, i didn't install the ROM from the microSD.
solve it by replacing it with a 2gb sd card.
the memory card is not me out with the official wm 6.5 ROM
what can I do to boot the card??
ah no problem of card because started the card with the adapter to the PC and read it perfectly.
I have D2 and the card is the Kingston with 4Gb....
I can help my problem??
Hello,
My problem is solve, I changed the card....
At last I found people with the same BIG problem of mine!!! I NEVER succeded in using ANY (nor cooked nor official) WM6.5 version and I am getting quite desperate So, it appears that 4GB Kingston SD is not "WM6.5 compatible"..I tried also Sandisk 2GB SD with the same miserable result...Lucky me!!
If it solves the issue, I am prone to buy a new SD card, but how does it have to be to work correctly?? what specs,what size is supported, is there a recommended brand?
My forum search led me to a closed thread and here, is this the only "SD and WM6.5 problem" related thread?

Strange, because I have the same memory cards, Kingston 4 GB, and I never had any problems. Currently I have WM6.5 official and works well.
You tried to format it?

Thanks for feedback!! Yes I formatted it in all possible ways, with PC adapter and within the device . As I feared, there is not a general rule to determine wether a SD card will work with WM6.5 or not and I am not rich enough to buy SD cards until one woks
I've heard it has something to do with the country in which the card was made. China was OK and Korea wasn't, or somthing like that. Don't really know whether that's correct though.
thanks, going to check that, ANY SUGGESTION IS WELCOME !!
What is the class of your memory card? Mine is class 4
I think it's a class 4, but if you tell me how to be sure I'll check better. Maybe using a diagnostics software?
EDIT:I just took the SD card out, I can read "SDC4/4GB"...maybe C4 stands for category 4..Again, help much appreciated!
From Topaz I don't know if you can see the class. It is in the packaging.
what's your actual ROM?
ITA WM 6.5 Original
ah ok, already tried that without success..and that was when I got disppointed the most

I have repeatedly formatted SDcards on my Trinity using Resco Explorer you can get the latest trial version and use it for a limited time.

Your problem is very common with people using P3300 (HTC Artemis) which was introduced the same time as the Trinity. Please look at the Artemis forum for details. Have you tried upgrading your ROM to the new ROM which was issued by HTC few days ago?

Panasonic indeed
Sorry, double typo. I meant the panasonic formatting tool indeed.
It formats the SD card in FAT through standaards.

I am on the latest HTC ROM and have 2GB Transcend 80x miniSD card... Several folders have disappeared from the SD card... Unfortunately, my card reader is not with me... Is there any option to format the storage card from the device and set the FAT file system?
Yes, you I have read somewhere you could from windows mobile 5 storage
My s200 without warning not read any SD card...the PDA not finds the card!
I have tested it in many ways, I have installed many ROM, and finally the original WM5 ROM, but this problem remains.
Anyone have any idea for repair it, or any test?

I don't really think its a hardware problem I think your device does not support the type of SD card you have remember not every SD card will work you need to find one that works on your device check out your manural am sure that can help. Also the brand and size matter aswell

In a Portuguese forum, there's some guys who have Prophet and have 2gb storage cards.. So i guess it's really a hardware problem..Or maybe it's the card that it's not right formated.. Dunno.. in th mean while, i'll want for your check up lyndel4

I will be very glad if someone helps me or gives me an advice what should i try

Is any one of the sd cards you tried a "class 2"? Seems that class 6 sd cards have this problem.

no need to try more versions on your current SD cards. Go to look for some very old one, better smaller then 2GB.
I got 5 in my home, 2 of them works. Both of them are 2GB, bought 3 yrs ago.
None of new one could be used.
i realised the old versions of sd card works but the newer ones dun.
U shuld change SD card~~
Pretty Disappointing... I'm stuck too. I'm suprised it hasn't been fixed yet can't be that hard compared to everything else they've acheived.
I hope everyone involved keeps up the hard work but it'd be great for someone to revisit this problem.
its a hardware problem of the sd card, not a software problem.
it will never be fixed (its not possible).
its not like an sd card is too expensive ^^ just get another one...
have a look at this thread

I tend to disagree. SD is a well known standard on the market.
The card that I have works fine for more than a year in Windows Mobile with Touch HD card reader. Without a single problem during that time. So everything: operating system, SD card and HTC HD card reader are fine.
It doesn't work with Android, so there is something wrong. Either with SD card initialization procedure, drivers or operating system (Android).
Unfortunately, I can't effort using 2GB card. I'm using my phone e.g. for books reading, music, photos, games etc. It's not only a phone I hope that all these hard working Android guys can fix this issue.

we are not looking at the sd card when its detected by the operating system but by the device itself.
the problem might be that the device is simply not capable to use some sdcards without the proper drivers (which the os then provides). what im saying is: before you enter the os the device might not detect some particular sd cards, but once the os is booted, it does.
the issue here is simple: if the device doesnt support the sd card, the os wont boot, this has nothing to do with the os.
if you dont believe me:
try flashing a WM rom from the "problem sd card". u will see: it wont work.
now try booting android from the same sd card. u will see: it wont work.
now get another card u can boot android with.
now try flashing a WM rom from this sd card. u will see: it will work.
conclusion: its a hardware problem.
i must say im not an expert but im not stupid either. i tried what i explained myself and thats just how it is...
if someone has a better explanation please correct me

What you're saying may be right. I'm not an expert either, so these are only my conclusions.
I think that what may be failing is the HSPL (Bios) that most people here loaded. I'm pretty sure that I was able to flash from SD card on my stock ROM. At some point it stopped working. I'll try to rollback to stock SPL (I'm not sure how to do it, yet) and confirm. So changed HSPL may be the issue.
Another question is, why SD drivers in either case are not loaded with the boot image. I don't know Android internals, so I can't tell if this is possible. But it would help in this case.
In both cases I don't think this is hardware issue that can't be resolved.

lucky guy
From my personal experience on my Kaiser I can confirm that newer SD cards do indeed seem to cause problems in Android, especially with installing or running from SD.
I have 3 SD cards I normally use for my phones, the newest a 4Gb class 6, which I have never been able to use for Android on Kaiser or Blackstone, I can't even flash with it, it just never works, using it for data storage works fine, just can't run Android from SD or Flash with it, the other 2 are 2Gb class 2's, both work just fine for flashing, and work great when using them for running Android builds from SD on Kais and Blac hardware.
My conclusions? Well I fall into the 'hardware problem' camp, mostly, since I can't flash either Winmo or Android with the class 6, it may be the card, but I wonder sometimes if it's the capacity, since both the class 2's are almost the same age as the class 6, all are sdhc, all 3 are from the same manufacturer , (SanDisk), in fact the only real difference is the capacity.
Waiting for SD Card
I have also tried a Transcend 8 GB SD Card and it doesn't work.
The same files on a Tanscend 1GB SD Card work just fine, so it's definitely a hardware problem caused by the card.
I've tried everything - formatting the card with different tools and different cluster sizes, partitioning the card below 4GB - all without success.
For all you guys out there with the "waiting for SD card" problem: Get a different (small) card !! - It's worth it !
what about this - copy files in the package into device internal memory and boot from there(i don´t know where to change booting directory in cfg...). if it created data.img on the sdcard, it would be fine solution...

Not sure it's that simple... once winmo is killed, the internal memory would have to be accessed natively by Android. It could be different for every device (where as SD is a standard, device agnostic format, internal memory isn't)
Whilst most HTC devices will work in an almost identical manner, there is no guarantee of what the internal memory is (it could actually be a HDD in theory).
I had this problem with my Transcend 8GB SD card, nothing solved it so I traded it for a Sandisk 8GB SD card with a colleague.
Works fine now. ^^

I'm using a Transcend 8GB card...the one that came with my blackstone with no problems at all. Don't think I did anything special though, formatted to FAT32, installed android from a CAB (in this thread) loaded Android and then I copied my WinMo files back to the SD card as well.
One 2GB sandisk card I had though didn't work at all until I formatted it to FAT32 under linux, then it worked fine in WinMo and Android.
A friend also suggested to me trying to reduce the 'allocation unit size' when formatting the card but I've not tried that approach.
maybe u can try format SD Card to FAT (not FAT32 formatted i think.. maybe it FAT16)! i have 8gb and 2gb SD Cards.. and that all cards not work untill i formatted my 2gb SD Card to FAT!

Hi
I'm having such problem. Tried different types of SD cards, first one was Trancend 16GB class 10 (high speed). Second one Trancend 8GB class 6 (medium speed). Third one some noname 4GB... So, I've got the same reading problem with all of them; intermittent reading and even card recognizing issue which is rendering SD card reader useless on device. I should highlight the thing that all cards perfectly being read in all other devices when pulled out of Shift and inserted in any of another devices. Tried to do different things, reinstalled drivers few times and so far... Seems this is strange hardware issue (compatibility issue?) arises in windows 7 enviroment. It's so upsetting, I don't want to come back to slugish Vista but I really need SD card reader!
I did not see many posts about it, so is anyone else having similar problem? Can you please share ideas and solutions of the problem if you overcame it.
i was having the same problem but after i did a windows update it was working fine, i have a A-DATA SDHC 16GB card.

i not that i can't acces on MicroSD card and Win7 ask to formatting it
i put in on XP Desktop
earase copy somes files
put it again in the shift
and i can access it
don't know what is the problem ?
Apply the BIOS update from the HTC website and all will be fixed!
Well !
first i was sceptique
On the HTC site
the Bios rev number
it is write v1.0.0.8
and my installed bios was v1.0.0.18
When i open the bios Flash utility
i see that the new version is 1.1.0.xx
i've install the non-UK file as indicated for non-uk shift
Installation was a success and very easy
but i still have the same problem with MicroSD card in internal SD card reader slot
I will check for EC driver i see somme where and tell you for result
still have SD PB
ok,
know i can acces to my microSD card in the SD card reader slot
with MicroSD to SD adapter
but when i use my other adapter that is
MicroSD to MiniSD to SD card adapter
the Shif ask me to format the MicroSD card
even if i use my USB Transcend SD card reader directly on USB
with the MicroSD to MiniSD to SD card adapter
In my XP PC no problem with this Dual Adapter !
Sniffff, i'm sad
SD card
Hello, so I use an SD card Transcend 32GB Class 10 and when inserted into the slot, but not log in to read it, but when you connect to the Internet and runs a minute and we can enjoy. When the shift to fall asleep again I have to pull the card and the data again and goes, but I'd wanted to tread do not normally have someone an idea or gimmick? Thank you for your reply, Mirek
someone solved?
I have the same problem
hi, anyone using a 32GB Transcend card?
win 7 was ok with a 2GB Sandisk and an unmarked 4GB card, dual boot with android.
are some roms better than others or is there anything else i can do or is that just how it is?
tried full clean format of card etc.
did you try insert card on already installed WP7 or you flashed ROM with card inside?
you cant only insert card... you need to make hard reset or flash ROM to use new card...
http://www.wpcentral.com/first-offi...-certified-microsd-card-announced-sandisk-8gb
same with my 16g Transcend, WP7 doesn't recognize it while flashing, what I did was use an 8g Sandisk then just made an image copy of that to the Transcend then it is OK, but during the flashing it wont see a Transcend card
you guys need to realize it's not always about the sd card that causes problems. the particular wp7 rom flavor causes incompatibilities. also, you can't copy existing wp7 sd images and expect it to work. just make sure the sd card is formatted in any of the std windows/dos formats...fat16, fat32, ntfs.
also, i've never encountered sd issues with 4 different brands ranging from 8gb to 32gb sizes of sd cards using yuki rom, but these same cards have issues when trying to flash pdaj, ansar, and hd2o wp7 roms.
BTW
if I flash WP7 using the Transcend it wont work
if I flash Android using the Transcend it will work

that goes without.saying. android doesn't have such strict requirements as wp7. as i stated in previous post...other wp7 roms other than yuki rom seem to be prone to sd card issues.

hi,
@dxdy: as i said in my post, i dual booted with android on 2 other different cards ok (by imaging and resizing and adjusting partitions)
bad thing was losing half my sd just for win 7. and i didnt like the idea of swapping cards.
also, the battery issue does not seem to have been bottomed out with its appalling standby times.
thanks though to hjhjhj for that info. that was just what i wanted to know. interesting but strange that different roms see the cards differently.
locking an os to a removable storage card has to be one of the worst features i have seen.
at least with our HD2's we still have other options.
will fire up win 7 again and give it another go.
