My phone will only connect to pc as disk drive after i format My sd Card! So whenever i want to transfer files from my pc to my phone i literally have to erase all of my data and start from scratch. Im running 2.1 on damage control 1 if that matters

i searched with my infant search skills to no avail. When i first got my Tmo HD2 and hooked it to my laptop (vista 64 bit) it showed up as two discs one was the device memory and the other was the SD card.
Now all i get is the SD card and it is named Double Twist. is there any way to get it back to what it was without a complete hard reset?
try a soft reset and have you tried the SD card with another device or with direct connecting to your PC?
do you have the mobile set to connect in hard drive mode? can only see sd card in disk mode.
settings menu all settings connections usb to pc - check the settings there.
i have it connecting in hard disc mode. I can see the storage card file structure fine. just not the device built in memory file structure
If you connect in "Hard Disk" mode you won't be able to see the internal memory of the phone you have to connect in "ActiveSync" mode.
thank you very much
Running on WP7
now trying to activate Windows Live ID
But when i plug Usb to my phone it doesnt work .
is it my sd card doesnt compatible ?
San disk 8GB class 2
When U flash WP7 with SDcard ，WP7 will RE-format the SDcard to an unknow partition（be part of the wp7），so when you connect it to your PC ，it can not be recognize. but if you use a cardreader ，you'll find a 200MB-size partition ， and it can be used。
the only way to back your normal card you need to formar you SD with some software，like “Panasonic SDFormatter”（free）
do you launch zune on your computer or not?
usb in WP7 is very freaky it only works when zune is launched
even then you can only sync through zune that is a bit of pain
hope they fix this in next builds
yeah i did launch zune already , probably i need to format my sd card first and try again.
Thanks
Still Fail
format my Sdcard already
but the problem still there #%@$
when i open windows mobile device centre.. my phone doesnt connect to my pc..
i have got HTC HD2 with android v 2.2.1.. every time i transfer a file on the SD card via usb, the phone does not recognize the file. i tried doing the same in windows 6.5 and it works.
Secondly, every time my phone restarts, it boots windows 6.5 whereas i have android installed. how do i fix these issues???
It sounds like you are using a Service card Android build. When you reboot your HD2 from a SD card build it is suppose to boot back into Windows Mobile cause that is what is in the actual internal memory of the phone, which the internal memory is what the SOL of the bootloader is programmed to boot up. To have Android boot up from SD card on it's own house need to install a dual boot app, just Google "Dual Boot Apple for Windows Mobile" or go the the HD2 Windows Mobile themes and apparently forum and do a search there.
If I am not mistaken to have been your SD card work properly as a mass storage device when connected to a computer you have to have USB. Debugging on. To do this while in Android go to Settings>Applications>Development and check USB Debugging.
If you're using an SD build it's known that SD builds restart to WinMo, you shouldv'e read it somewhere by now.
Files transfered to the Card on android are not recognised unless you restart the phone or transfer them when you're on WinMo, also transferring the files to an SD android version using diskdrive mode means you're risking braking the build or corrupting your SD card, it can be fixed with either scanning your card for system file errors or formatting it in worst case scenario..
anyway, the safest way to transfer files to SD while plugging your SD android over the USB is by using the Dual Mount SD app, the speed is a bit decreased, but the device will recognize them when you unplug it.
I'm pretty bored of this problem...
a week ago I've found my sd card sand disk 4Gb class 4 corrupted when I found that everytime I take a photo, I found it corrupted when the phone is connected with PC and sd mouted...
so I take a sand disk 2Gb that I have had on a camera and I use it...
Today, again the same problem
2 sd card corrupted with no way to format it...
I always us CM7 (RC 7.1 when I had the 4Gb card and nightly now)...
Is the phone broken? or I have to do something...I've notice that this problem is very common, but I don't understand if is an hardware problem or software, kernel...
I also have Darktremor installed...if can help...
thanks for any advice
Have you tried formatting and repartitioning card?
I use sdformatter from web--does good job--settings are: Full Erase On and Size Adjustment On
Then repartition back in phone to 1gb 0 swap--that's what I use
Of course, back up sdcard tp pc first
Do you "eject" your phone from the PC before unmounting it?
I just press the unmount button on the phone and disconnect the cable I don't use the safe remove of window do you think is for that?

but i think Windows manage any USB storage device without keeping the cache too long by default. what's more he isn't writing anything onto the card but reading, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
yeah android read the card but it doesn't write anything....
can the problem is the darktremor?

That's your problem. You're yanking the card away from windows before it's done writing to it probably.
1) Eject from windows
2) Unmount in android
3) Unplug
I've had my android phone for over a year now and have only had one card go corrupt, but that was due to a buggy ass wifi teather app. I've never had a problem aside from that. However, I also never mount the sd card in windows. I just use Dropbox to transfer files back and forth, or for large files, I just copy over wifi via a lan share.
thanks...
to all...
there are discordant opinion about this who said that I have to first unmount then safe disconnect from Win and who said that I have first safe remove and then unmount...
I've try to format the 4gb microsd with gparted live but I have error over error "can't mount, cant format" and so on...
The 2gb microsd now work fine, I succefully format it now I have an ex3 partition and a fat32 with Darktremor...
There is no way to plug an android phone and trasfer file without mount sd?
of course there are. try adb push or adb pull...
Is the card a class 10? I had class 6 clean from start to end but changed to a 32gb class 10 in the last 4 months and tonight was the second time filenames got messed up just by connecting to the PC. I connected, hit USB mount and a bunch of folder/file names were messed and stuff on the LOST.DIR.
Gonna get a new card tomorrow.
Why can i only tranfer data from the phone to the pc but not the other way?
I can transfer files from the phone's memory and the extrnal sd card to the pc
But, I can't transfer files from the pc to anywhere on the phone either the built in memory card or external sd card
is this a s3 problem or and ics 4.0 problem

You need to make sure you loaded the current (updated) drivers on the PC, and make sure you're using the cable that came with the phone (or if that's the one you're using, try another one). But I'll bet you're using an old/different cable - it's causing problems all over (my guess is the pinout changes for MHL are making it touchy about older cables).
