sd card reading problem

hi!!
i need some help with my mda compact..
i bought a new sd 2Gb card and it wont read it...
its asks to format it and does but nothing else...
thats it..
it cant read it..

I've had the same prob with an 2Gb MMC, and i fix it by unscreawing a bit the top 2 screws of the mainboard (have to open the upper back part). The ideea is to push the card slot backword, until it reads the card correctly, anddoing this with the battery cover on place, to be able to power on your device after uncreawing a bit, to test the rezult. By doing this I fixt also some reading problemsa that i had with other card (when paying movies from the card, it would freez the move until I would pull out the card and put it back again). Hope to be of help.

Micro SD and P4350

Hi guys, I just put in a 1GB Micro SD card and I am having problem getting the card out or ejecting the card. Anybody know how or what is the correct way to get it out. I try pushing the card down but it doesn't pop up.....please help thanks!!!

Just press it inwards, and will pop out itself

I had the same problem. I went back to the store and we tried to get out by pushing it, but i did not work. We manged to get it out by pulling it out, and then we inserted a dummy card. This made the eject mechanism function again, and when I inserted my card again it worked.

I had the same problem when I first put in my micro SD card. I had to pry it out with tweezers. Thanks to this thread, I got the idea that I could get the mechanism working. So, I worked the card in and out several times, pushing it all the way in with my nail and letting it snap back a bit (and prying it out again) until the mechanism became loose enough to work properly.

X01HT 2gb MicroSD Problem

Hi all,
I just got recently a 2gb microSD from Sandisk and conected in my X01HT(HTC TyTN), it doesn´t reconize the card and the card get very, very hot
anyone could help me with that?
Thanks

Assuming there's nothing wrong with the card, you might have put the card in wrong, or the card might not be aligned properly when placed into the slot. Try these:
1) make sure the contacts side is facing up when you put in the card (slot facing you, pda screen facing up)
2) as you insert the card (slowly), try to align it more to the bottom left of the slot. If it's inserted correctly, you should feel some springing pushing the card out as you insert it.
3) If the card is inserted correctly, it should bounce back out if you push it in a little.
hopefully that helps, but if all else fails, take the card back to the store.

Micro SD Problem

I had recently bought a cingular 8525..... and i bought a scandisk 2gb micro SD card..... but when i try to push the card in it gets stuck and the card doesnt comes out..... i have to remove the battery and pull the card with the clipper...... but the dummy card goes in and comes out perfectly..... wht shall i do.... i have tried this with 2-3 brands micro SD cards

Same here. Althugh with a little fiddeling my Hermes recognised the Card. And as I haven't planned to remove it again any time soon I can live with that.

You have to be carefull when putting the card in. I had the same problem at the start, you have to put it in really straight and make sure you here a click. If you here a scrape, then it get corrupt.

Didn't want to make new thread, so I bumped...
I am having same problem. I tried to put the card in (2 gb sandisk micro SD) and now its stuck and not seen by the Phone. How did the first poster get his out? I looked under the battery, but I don't see an easy way to get to the card. Any help is much appreciated, since I cannot use my card yet...TIA!

ive experienced the same problem. seems like its a "breaking in" issue.
as you get used to putting it in and pulling it out it will ultimately just sink in. meaning, youd be able to click it in and click it out..

never had one problem with the 3 sandisk cards i use..

I did struggle the first time after taking the new Hermes out of the box but no problems since - since the first go I just do it really carefully, making sure it's absolutely straight.
SD cards are a nice, even shape but MicroSD have a funny shape to them - a degree out in insertion angle (oo-er, missus) and it seems you're stumped. Took me ages to get the thing out first time.

Thanks for the help, I was able to get it out with a very small flat screwdriver. It is very sensitive, and I make sure that I get the "click" before I push it all the way in. Thx.

tried taking out my sdhc earlier and seems like i have no problems anymore..

Guys,
Try using forum search. I posted a working solution to this issue here.

Micro SD card issues
I too had the same problem for 2 or 3 times, getting it in is the trick, very delicate.
The first time I inserted it, it didn't register and it wouldn't come out with a click, sort of had to pry it out delicately out of there, the second time, the device recognized it, taking it out it clicked but hesitated a bit, by the third time, no problem. Now it works exactly like it should.
The question is, is it the slot that gets broken-in or the card itself? I have another card on order, I'll know the answer to that soon, allthough I think it's the actual slot inside that assumes the shape it should or something, probably the pins-connectors inside that have to flex a couple of times.
Scary at first but it seems to fix itself.
God I love my phone, is it wrong to be so obsessed with it?

am I blind ?

Hi all
I must be blind as I cannot find the SD slot on my xoom 3g.
The SIM card slot was easy but I can't spot the slot for the SD card...

The cover for the SD card is the same as the SIM card. It's a little metal cage close to the screen.

It's in the SIM Card slot, the top section (nearest the screen).

You pull out the sim card tray and it is in there.
Edit, its funny get the replies in two minutes.

ahhh that explains it cheers guys.
