Hey guys,
anyone having problems with their microsd card not showing in file explorer?
I'm using a SanDisk Microsd and it was working fine then disappeared.
It has been installed properly and WAS working.
I know its not the card as I have tried the card in a HTC Hero and it works fine. Also tried a 2gb microsd and it does not get recognised after disappearing from file explorer.
I have tried uninstalling programs to see if its a certain cab causing this but no luck. I have found that doing a hard reset restores the microsd in file explorer.
So far two hard resets have restored it but it seems to keep disappearing!!
Did you try another sd card?
It might be just card problem, if not....

Yeah tried a 2gb card that came with the HD2 but no luck
I mean it works after I hard reset but once it disappears HD2 won't recognise when I swap to a 2GB card.
Is this a bug? I don't think its a hardware issue as it shows when I hard reset.
Is your HD2 connected to the USB cable and PC when looking?
If so. Try again without the connection.
I thought I had a similar issue at first with mine - turns out, if I remove and re-insert the SD card - then open explorer and have it as high level view as poss (My Device) - Storage Card folder isn't there.....but then I scrolled to the bottom of the folder tree - and for some reason, once it's removed and re-inserted, the first time you use the explorer, it places that folder at the bottom (so off the screen) but it was there for me [once you've used explorer once and dont remove/re-insert card, it places the storage card folder back up the folder tree in usual place] - sounds like you have a more serious issue though if you've checked that and it's not even there.

No not connnected to USB.
I just did another hard reset and it shows again. I installed a couple of cabs (Touch X Task Manager, tnyynt SD Tuneup) and everything is working fine. I then decided to do a soft reset and it disappeared again.
EDIT: I actually just uninstalled tnyynt SD Tuneup and did soft reset and microsd reappears in file explorer...hmm will have to investigate further.
you have to hard-reset.
I have the same problem when installing the coreplayer...then my storage card disappears. It seems like a driver or something gets deleted or messed up.
hard-reset and you will be fine.
also don't forget to format your SD card once...I forgot this too...maybe that helps too.

I have hard reset but that is obviously not a permanent solution. It is not because of Coreplayer.
I have been using since uninstalling SD Tuneup and soft reset. Working fine for now so I assume it had something to do with using SD Tuneup with leo or wm6.5? Anyway will report back if any more dramas.
I can't find my SD card either seems that i have the same problem as you.. wtf to do??? have formated, an everything i know..

when did it stop working? does it appear after a hard reset?
Mine seemed to be associated with software I installed (namely tynnnt SD Tuneup). After I uninstalled it and did a soft reset it reappeared in file explorer...

SD tuneup isn't designed for the qualcomm ..
the SD drivers are totally different on the Leo..

Cheers for confirming that. I used it on my original Touch Pro and also on the Xperia X1 so I assumed it would work on the HD2, I assumed wrong! haha

I turned on my Hermes this morning and it started giving me a lot of errors on the today screen. They were errors regarding programs that were installed on the storage card and the device couldn't display everything (such as HTC Home, etc.) and locked-up. After a few soft-resets, still the same. I took out the card and put it in a card reader, but it seems that almost everything is gone from there and what's left, both files and folders, has weird names (»╣SöôdεÑ.z╕ë , ╔╞DGV)0.╡En , φE}░wx÷,.Γö6 , £#╚Ç3.3c, etc.). Also, the contents of the storage card show up as having 33.8 GB!!! How come?
What's to be done to recover my files?
I could hard-reset the device, but the data on the storage card is still gone! I don't care about the programs on it (I can reinstall those) but My Documents and other files that I had on it are important!!!

Try an application like memmaid or stk tools (or perhaps other people have better ideas/applications) to repair the content. Don't format the card yet!
Good luck

But there's nothing I can do with the device, since it locks-up, it doesn't synchronize with the PC... I actually had MemMaid installed, but the device does not respond. Also, MemMaid was installed on the storage card.
After hard-reset, device working, but still have the same problem with the storage card data (corrupted, lost?).

So install a 'repair utility' on the device and see what you recover on the SD card.
btw, I NEVER install an application on the SD card

I have MemMaid installed on device, now. What's next? There's no data recovery tool in it (is there?).
I always had lots of programs installed on the storage card and had absolutely no problems (until now). I usually do that because the device memory fills-up tooooo fast. I had my Hermes for about 1 1/2 years with no problems of any kind.
Has anyone had this problem before? While scrolling through my photos using TF3D (photos mostly saved on the microSD card), TF3D froze. I soft reset, and paf! I cant access the microSD. Tried connecting to my pc and still nothing. I don't even have the option anymore of choosing to use the HD as a portable hard drive. Its acting as if there isn't a microSD in it.
Any suggestions anyone?
PS I recently installed the new HTC official ROM a few days ago. But didn't have problems until now. Could this be related?
if you install the advanced config utility 3.3 theres an options for PNP delay timing that can help with sd cards not showing up in certain devices. just install the cab to your device and try setting a longer delay timing.
I have been having exactly the same problem. Soft reset has brought it back each time but it is not a permanent solution.

Thanks for the reply guys. I'll try your suggestion with advanced config utility 3.3. I hope it works cos I had a load of stuff saved and installed on the microSD card.
@bford: I've tried soft resetting numerous times without any luck. I just wonder if perhaps the card is just fried
I experienced the same exactly problem.... What I did was to take out the micro sd, pluged it in micro sd reader and formatted it with Panasonic's SD Formatter
After That it works Like a charm!
Hope I helped...
Thank you. That has solved my problem too. It seems there were problems in the recycled files folder. This is now sorted. I'm still watching nervously though!
When i try to delete some apps from my storage card, they seem to be deleted, but when i reconnect to my computer they reappear in the same place as they where... (and they take up the same ammount of space as before, but i can't run them anymore) I already tried to format the card, but it gives an error: "windows cannot format this device" (or something like that)
Is this card broken or is there a solution to this? HELP
Thanks

Try to format the card from your device.
If this still doesn't work, try to find a SD-convertor and format in a digital camera.
Grtz,

First try a HardReset (after SoftReset).
I had similar problems, and I could solve it
with a HardReset.

a hard reset shouldn't affect the sd card in any way.

Sometimes it does. I could not read/write to the card,
after a HardReset I could.

ah yes, but thats the phone, the OP said the PC is seeing errors on the card. If he hard reset, the pc would still see the card as faulty, because a hard reset doesn't touch the card. Yours must have been something different.
Hi all,
This always happened to me. In winmobile 6 and now 6.5. For some reasons since yesterday apps which installed to my storage card disconnected it's link or short cuts in the start menu. Now all of the apps in my storage card i can't access from start menu. when i clicked the app icon in my start menu my HD2 responded
"Cant open XXX. File is not registered or not trusted in digital signature, or can't find one of the files elements. Please resintall or restore this file."
I have to go to the file directory in my storage card to run the apps. This is very annoying and very inconivence. Anyone knows why? What's worse is that all of the new apps that i installed to my storage card has the same issue... Which means i can't no longer install apps to my storage card...
Help?
Use file explorer to find your chosen program icon /copy it
Still using file explorer go to device/windows/start menu/programs and paste shortcut using left hand bottom menu
Job done ! Rename it if you want !
DISREGARD THE LAST MADE AN ERROR !!

if you go to file explorer can you read your sd card? I had the same issue and it was the sd card that failed so it could not read/find the program it was looking for. Try for kicks copying over some apps to a different storage card and retry. It will at least eliminate that possibility.
Yes, HD2 can read the SD card, and i have to go to the SD card location to run the apps. Just can not access from the start up menu...

So, install to phone mem instead and problem solved!
Anyone else can help? I think install to the main memory is not a very good idea.

I had the same problem you described. It happened after some old program I launched got the phone stuck and I had to pull the battery out to do a reset.
After the boot completed, I started to receive errors when trying to launch programs from the storage card. Uninstalling wouldn't work and reinstalling always failed.
Replacing the sd card didn't help either.
I believe that something corrupted the registry.
I finally gave up and hard reset.
The only good thing that came out of it was getting a new 16GB sd card for me to use.
My happened when i installed a lockscreen cab to my HD2 to the main memory. After that everything i installed to the storage card wont run from the startup menu.
Really? some dude told me to reformat my storage card. I'd rather do a hard resert cuz i have alot of crap in my 16G storage card.
I haven't gave up yet so i will still try to look for my other options... Thanks to know at least i am not the only one who encounter this fu**ing problem...

Gave up and hard reset a couple of times, and i found out that the reason i can't click the icon in my start menu to access the apps which i installed in my storage card. It was because of i change the local and Text. I changed from Taiwan to USA and HD2 will not let me access the apps from start menu. This is very wierd, but if i change back to Region: Chinese Taiwan, then my HD2 is ok again... Just to share with you guys...

When I'm on "Documents" tab it says - "SD card is full or missing"
Any way around it ?
Come on ... nobody has this problem ?!!!
I had that problem too and I wish I could give you a way to fix it, but I had to perform a hard reset after WMWifiRouter screwed my WiFi up. Your post reminded me about the problem with the documents tab and I just checked it... turns out the hard reset also fixed this issue for me.
I'll let you know if it comes back and we can work out a fix that doesn't involve resetting everything on the phone.
I actually performed hard reset (because of a different issue). Unfortunately it did not fix Documents tab problem
are you using a ram disk at all? that is known to mess with the docs tab.

I do not even know what is RAM disk on HD2. No, I do not use special RAM disk apps and my ROM is US T-Mobile HD2 stock ROM

hmm no clue then, sorry. Think if it were me i'd try copy off all the files and folders onto the pc then format the sd card and copy everything back, just to see.
Did you remove the original SD card that came with it? Or, replace it with another one? I know it's in the manual that once you do it, the SD card may not work anymore, or something like that. Maybe that's the cause, I'm just guessing since I don't have this kind of problem.
microSD card came with T-Mobile Hd2 (US version) already inserted. Did not touch it
I have this problem too with my Touch HD.
I can't read my documents. It says: "SD card is full or missing".
Any help. Please...
I've fixed this problem
I had this problem too
I've fixed this problem thus
I backed up all info the storage Card and I made a complete format the storage card complete under windows, after I copied all info into storage card again, and this operation fixed this problem

Did exactly same thing but it did not fix it for me
Format worked for me, although I'm pretty sure the SD card was fine, and was gonna compare the pre-format files to post-format and see if I accidentally deleted anything that would cause this. Was in a hurry though, and never ended up comparing.
Formatted(full) SD card on PC, then put in phone and formatted there to get the stock files back on. Then copied everything else over (TF movies, and my downloads, etc..). Worked fine after that.
Hi
I had the same problem and quicikly solved this issue:
Go to: \Carte de stockage or Storage card\Application Data\HTC\databases\DocExp
And delete 2 files: postlist.DB & value.DB
It worked for me, hope the same for you
Installing a network plugin caused the issue on mine, when I unistalled it worked again

mdean, do you happen to have the name or the cab handy, so I can take a peek at it for a possible connection to the cause? Thanks!
I tried 3 different ones, all caused the problem - generic network plugin, htc network plugin, and schnaps network plugin
SD Card is full or Missing - SOLVED
1. Delete the folder - Storage card\Application Data
2. Tab again the document tab - wait re-loading until finish searching all documents
3. Successful!
thanks dude i was having the same problem, when i enabled shared network folder in touch tool, it stop working but i went back and disabled it and now working again.
Glad you all figured it out... I had this problem 3 weeks ago and immediately after enabling and setting up the network plugin with Touch Tools 1.4. Luckily, I didn't have to look for the cause since the last thing I did was install & use the network plugin!
So, for future reference.........
Also, your facebook pictures in htc album's facebook tab will stop showing up if you manually assign a "CacheSize" value other than 0 to HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS.
Be advised!
