Memory Card Failure

Had a 16GB memory card in my HD2 for about 6 months. Yesterday it failed for no apparent reason. Anyone else had this happen? Or any idea as to how I could get the data back? Tried it on my PC in a card reader, but it just says 'Please insert disk...'
Not that big a deal, but its a hassle as most of my apps and icons, and all my TomTom maps were stored on the card

quite a few have had memory cards fail whilst using them in the hd2

same here
also had a new (ebay/unbranded) 8Gb micro SD card fail on me last week after only 6 days of use. Completely fried - PC refused to recognise it existed at all. Lucikly had been syncing entire contents daily to a backup folder on my home NAS using GoodSync so returned to ebayer for replacement and then re-synced with no data loss.

I had a similar experience, not with my HD2 but with my previous HD. The card appears in the directory only for a few seconds and then disappears, on every fresh reboot of the phone (not sure if that's your case too). So what I did was to have the phone boot-up while connected to the PC, and copy the data from it as quick as possible before it 'disappears'. Once I did that and had all my info safe, I formatted the card and it worked fine afterwards. Never knew what exactly had caused the failure though, but fortunately I was able to recover the data as described.

Had a failure with a 16GB mSD Sandisk in my HTC Touch HD Blackstone 2 months ago after 2,5 years of heavy use. Parts of my data were corrupted and phone froze.
mSD was still recognized by PC but unable to write or copy any data any more. Also no luck with recovery apps for PC.
I dunno if it was the Blackstone that fu..** the card or vice versa, the ROM of my Blackstone was fu..** too. I flashed G10s Ultimate Dusk, have a new sd card and now works fine again.
Sh.. happens once in a while

[Q] SD Causing device to be unstable after Zune connection?!?

When i hardreset my HD2 with windows phone 7 and the 2gb micro sd it works fine loads good, doesnt freeze or restart but as soon as i connect it to zune and transfer things it becomes unstable and restarts over and over again, is this a problem with the software trying to access the information or have i done something wrong? Has any body else noticed this?
all in all without the sd card in it runs like a gem, good bye winmo 6.5 you served me well-ish

[Q] Read file only system

Hi,
since i have bought milestone 2 i have the similar problem... even now with the newest original rom
the downloading is interrupting almost every time, browser have never downloaded bigger file than approximate 20 mb and even opera mini doesnt work well with downloading
since i have got the fasterdownolader app it says me sometimes that the problem is system file read only (null)... or something like that, but i am downloading strictly on the sd card which is weird... so doesnt anybody know where could be the problem?
I have rooted rom with 1-click rooter
Sometimes it helps me to mount and umount sd card, but sometimes it doesnt.
The only app without downloading problems is dropbox
can i do something with the sd card to makes it work better? (for example)

I could be wrong but I believe it is more so to with with mobile internet in general being too unstable and some of the sources you download from don't work very well with it. This problem is most common with file sharing sites for myself, ones that don't support resuming downloads. Little bumps and resets in the connection (although you are not aware they happen) cause it to stall and then it simply wont resume. I've seen it happen on phones of friends etc, and even had it happen downloading over wireless hotspot on my laptop.
Some games with in app downloads will be very hard to download over my data connection and I only end up wasting nearly 1gb of my cap only to have 3 failed downloads halfway through, then it is seemless on wifi when I get home.

If you need a good download test side ... I always use the new release of ubuntu ... http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/
And if you want to make sure it is not your mobile internet connection ... did you have the same problem with WLAN and downloads?
Just some ideas ... maybe it helps!

Thank you both for help
Finally I have got the answer, my main problem is SD card bigger than 8 GB
Since i have the 16 gb' card I have problems with reading and writing data on it
Mount and Unmount card is my daily routine, because even MortPlayer has a problem to play a music sometimes

Have you read this post?

I have and it did solve my problem I forgot to note it here
but thank you very much, it is sometimes hard to be a muggle and to find a solution only by yourself
Even with newest gingerbread my new 16 gb's sd card freezes repeatedly...
but to replace the dll's did helped me (hopefully)

[Q] Weird problem with rooted nook

I am running one of the nightlies on my sd card. The last couple of weeks my nook has been acting weird. It doesn't automatically log onto my wifi, doesn't save calender settings, doesn't stay logged on for google voice and several other random app crashes.
I took the sd card out and tried to put the latest nightly on it and I received an error stating "the device is no longer attached" or something like that. A fellow member suggested that it might be the micro sd adapter so I ordered another one. As I wait for it to arrive, I was wondering do my symptoms sound like the sd card itself is going bad? Any help would be appreciated.

By "one of the nightlies" do you mean the CM9 builds that are being put out? I know with those wifi connection has always been a problem and typically a turn off/on restores connection. I believe there was calendar issues as well that someone had to use a different gapps for.

No cm7. Probably from 2 months ago. The calendar I use is Jorte.

I also just tried to uninstall Jorte and when I rebooted the nook, the program was back. Looks like I might have to format the sd card

I got a new adapter and was able to move data to and from my sd card but I was unable to format the card. I tried formatting from my pc, disk manager, and cmd prompt and all failed. The command prompt gave me the following error "invalid media or track 0, disk is unusable".
Does that mean my sd card died?

Problems with USB and synching

I often have problems when I want to copy data on the phone or get it from the phone on the HDD. It works in general but often it justs hangs and then I have to restart the phone which only shows "synchronising" and doesn#t do anything anymore. Another thing not working very well is accessing data (photos or videos) directly from the sd card. I often get errors when trying to do this. Any ideas?
EDIT:
Now I got a message while copying data "device not working anymore"... What's wrong here?

You can try using a different USB cable or trying a different SD card. I think based on your post it's probably a card going bad.

Hm, it's a class 10 card, h igh quality, worked fine in my HTC desire...
