First of all I'm fairly new to the phone but not to XDA.
I picked up this micro SD card from newegg for just $21 with free shipping and it go here a day early. The problem is that it doesn't show up at all on my phone.
I can put the phone in disk drive mode and it doesn't show in my computer if I remove the card or put it back in as my phone is plugged in my computer will make the connect and disconnect sounds for usb, how ever with the SD card adapter it works fine and achieves 5MB/s witch leads me to believe that obviously its the phones fault.
Current Rom is Energy 23673 aug 6th I have yet to try another rom but I didn't figure it would help anyway.

Hey guys,
I have a 2 GB mini SD that was acting up, so I went to format it and everything went smoothly until I realized that my card reader only supported 1 GB cards.
So now I have half of my card sitting around being wasted.
What card readers/work arounds do you guys use? Any generic drivers I could use to enable 2 gb fuctions from my reader?
Can't you just transfer items through your Wizard?
--edit--
Nvm, reread your post ^^;;
Anyway, what brand 2gb is it?
Yes, tell us the brand of card and the card reader. I thought most modern card readers would be capable of reading 2, 4 or even greater size cards.
Although it may be cheaper just to get a new card reader, try the attached utililty first.
My brand new Belkin Media Reader wouldn't read a 2GB card, but a cheapo 6-in1 media reader from Jessps (UK store) works fine.
Try using Pocket Mechanic on the Wizard, or pick up a Iogear GFR201SDM (a usb thumb drive you can stick a MiniSD card into) at your local CompUSA -- it'll set you back about $10.00.

This program allows you to swith between activesync mode and card export mode. When in card export and you plug your device into a pc via usb it detects it as a "USB Mass Storage". So it makes your wizard's storage card like one of those USB Jumpdisks. Thats what i used last a couple of days ago when my card got corrupted and had to reformat.
I tried this software but in the windows device manager , the USB mass storage device appears with a "!" ... in the device detais an error message appears "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" ... have any idea about this ???
I purchased a kingston 8gb class 4 microSD card for $20 from buy.com. The problem is that it doesn't show up on anything! I plugged it in my Tilt and nothing happened. I plugged it in my palm centro and nothing happened (although i wasn't expecting it to work on it in the first places lol). I plugged it in my Dell E1705 laptop which has a built-in card reader and it didn't read the card either.
Right now im assuming the the card is defective.......should i ask for a refund or should i ask for a replacement since i find the price to be really cheap...
Are there any hotfixes i should run in order to make sure the card is defective?
Please advise
The card reader in your Dell (at least from the specs I can find on it) does not support SDHC, only SD, which is why it doesn't work there. The same goes for the Palm Centro, so neither of those is a valid test of the card. As for why it doesn't work in your kaiser, who knows?
yea thats the thing thats bugging me out. I did download the hotfix from MS for my laptop which supposedly allows it to read SDHC cards but when i try to install the hotfix, it says i have a newer version already installed and there is no need for an update....So im assuming my laptop card is hdhc compatible
I have that same card in my tilt and it works fine....
I vote for a dead card. Return it.
Your card is definatly defective, some current computers do not detect SDHC cards, but if your tilt didn't detect it, then it's a whole different story.
Contact the seller for the exchange immediately
I agree with the other posts. Return the card and get an exchange or refund. I use a Kingston 8GB micro SDHC in my Tilt with no problems. I got it from NewEgg for less than $20 with a USB adapter, miniSD adapter and an SD adapter!
same card im also having...
just tried many sdhc patches...
atlast this one worked on my artemis.....

hope it works for u too.....
Are you sure, that your builtin cardreader supports SDHC?? With my storage card there was an miniUSB cardreader included.
I just bought this same card over the weekend and it works fine in my Kaiser. Maybe you got a faulty card, or maybe the card needs to be formatted... Since it's new, you should probably ask for an exchange or refund.
Hi all.
First off I'm a new user of the 8525. I'm in between upgrades so I got this phone as a hold me over until April.
I was thinking about trying to put WinMo 6.5 on it (never did anything like this before but I figure the forums will give me all the info)
I went out and bought a 2GB Sandisk Micro SD Card (Non SDHC) popped it in the phone, and it didnt recognize it. I then formatted it in my pc as Fat32 popped it in, and still no go.
Any idea what the problem is?
Using an HD mini, latest ROM 1.36.401.1 fitted with a 32GB memory card.
Phone syncs fine and I can copy files to the storage card using activesync but as this is very slow with larger files I've tried to use the disk drive mode.
Problem is that the file starts to copy and after a few minutes of transfer I get the error message "The Parameter is incorrect" After this I have to disconnect the phone and reconnect to be able to try again.
It was one of the reasons I bought the phone and added the memory was to be able to load on some video to watch. I use it for music files and sysnc these using media monkey with no problems at all.
Any idea's....?
I checked the HTC site but found nothing, I've also formatted the card in the phone in case it didn't like it being formatted in the PC.
I use a Sandisk 8GB Class 2 SDHC card, never experienced that kind of problem. But I have to say I never tried any files larger than around 1 GB.
What brand do you have? And how big are the files?
The card is unbranded and the video files are 80 - 170MB. I have some other cards so I can try one of them to see if this fixes the issue.
might be the usb data cable ,have you tryed another microusb cable ? or try to load files to microsd using sd-(usb)adapter and see if you still have this error
I tried another cable but the same thing. I've also tried a 1GB Sandisk card as well and that runs with no problems. This unbranded card claims SDHC but maybe it's not high enough quality for the HTC. Wouldn't be the first time a product rejects a certain media.
I've actually just ordered a new Sandisk 16GB class 4 card to try that one out. Should have it early next week and will report back what happens.
Ok, I think if you run a checkdisk on the 32GB card it will report errors. It could be a cheap clone from China, which are known to have quality issues.

When I tried it in the PC it ran with no problems it was just in the phone that I had problems.

Ordered from eBay but a supplier that sells them in original packaging plus gives a guarantee that they are originals.
So received a new 16GB card today, fitted to the phone, copied over some files, so far so good. But then TCPMP would not read the video files saying the MP3 codec is invalid and the other thing I notice is that the storage card is now called Card2. In explorer from the PC it shows two storage cards as:-
Storage card
Storage card2
I seem to be going backwards, powered the phone off/on numerous times, also with the card removed, reformated the card but can't stop it from seeing the card as card2.
Getting so pi$$ed off with this now.
OK a quick update, I fitted the original 1GB card, the phone recognised this as the first storage card and the card2 reference disappeared. I fitted the new 16GB one and all back to normal no card2 issue.
What I don't understand is how it happened and what changed it back. As I intend to load TomTom onto the card the last thing I want is this happening again in the middle of driving.
Never heard of this problem before. Can't think of a cause, maybe something with partitions on your SD card?
hi all got my dhd today and I've replaced the 8gb memory card with a 16gb one
I've formatted the card in the phone and then transferred videos music and pics to the phone via hard drive mode. I then change there phone back to charge so the card mounts all the content is missing it appears that it goes into lost
I've also tried transferring via a memory card reader and same happens
Please has anyone got any ideas what's happening ?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
If I was in that situation I would format the sd card in windows as fat32 and give itanother try.

Try to format on your windows PC. If that doesn't work, the card is a cheap chinese copy and no 16GB-version...
I did the same replacement and it worked fine.
I formated new card in PC as FAT32 (like original card). Then I copied all content from old 8GB card through USB disk option on my phone directly to new 16GB card pluged into my laptop. After copying was finished, I replaced cards and all was working fine.
I did this:
Shutdown phone.
Eject 8GB card from phone and plug into PC.
Copy contents to temp folder on disk.
Plug 16GB card into PC.
Format FAT32.
Copy contents from temp folder to root of 16GB card.
Eject 16GB card from PC and plug into phone.
Switch on.
I had the same problem.
I bought my sandisk 16gb sdcard from ebay, at the beggining worked fine but after a few months started to act weird. I copied media files and the one moment was there but when i unplugged the usb cable it's gone, other times it kept some files.
I tried to format the sdcard, use big block size, i even used SDFormater which is for sdcards specific format but nothing happens.
I thought it might be the usb cable but after i used back the 8gb samsung sdcard works like a charm.
As for the sandisk i would like to contact the company to see their opinion.
Try with a different card, and see what happens.

Check if the price you bought the card is at least close to the real price of the card. Many ebay cards are fake. The fact that it says "Sandisk" on the card doesn't make it genuine. From my experience Sandisk are the safest and one of the most expensive card on the market. I use their Extreme series for my cameras and never had a single problem with them.
Probably it's fake. I bought it the half price of what it costs in my country.
