It seems that either my memory card or my phone is messed up..I found out when I tried to take pictures the other day. Says please insert SD card. When I take the card out and insert it back in and start the phone back up it shows this little white task thing and says ok to take SD card out or something. Not sure what's going on? Any suggestions?

format the card (backup ypur stuff first), if that does not fix it it is likely that the card needs to be replaced

Appears that my Memory card is bad. That blows, no idea how that could happen? Oh well what do you do.

I'm having SD card issues. Suddenly the SD card isn't recognized; certain folders/files don't show up in the file manager. I also get a message when opening the camera, stating, "Please insert an SD card before using the camera." If I remove, then re-insert, the card reappears, but I get an error message that I removed it improperly. It reverts back to the initial problem soon after.
Please Help!!!
Unmount the SDcard,
Settings> SD card & storage > Unmount SD card
from there you'll click Format SD card..
You'll lose any data you have but since the card isnt reading anyways there isnt much else you can do to fix that.

This issue isn't a constant one; it reads the card properly most of the time. Is reformatting the only solution to this problem, or is there anything else I can try?
Well if it reads it some of the time the it seems like its a sd card slot that's the problem and not the card... MyTouch's have had some problems with fault sd card slots. You might look into sending it back to HTC and having it repaired seeing as it's most likely a hardware issue.

that blows! i've only had the phone a couple months. this issue started happening recently, not the entire time i've had the phone. is there a way for me to test the slot on my own, without having to send it out?
SD Card Data
Since I've bought the T-Mobile myTouch 3G (1.2/LE) I've had reoccurring problems with the 8GB microSD card that came with the phone. It would randomly say that the card was blank, but a quick pop in and out of the slot fixed the problem. The problem has turned permanent now; my pop in/out method hasn't worked (it still comes up blank). When I insert the SD card into my standalone SD card reader it goes unrecognized; nothing happens (which is the standard reaction when plugging in the reader without a card).
I have another 2GB microSD card which works fine (on my phone and with the card reader), so the problem isn't the card reading mechanism. While in the SD card settings on my phone I hit "Format" by mistake I then clicked the "Erase" button in the following prompt, however nothing happened! Something strange is going on, which leads me to believe that there's a chance I can recover the lost data on the card. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Probably a bad sdcard. It happens. Reformat and try it again. If that fails then get a new sdcard.
By the way, I'm merging with a similar post that you made a couple of months ago.

I'm trying to keep this forum clean and organized you know.
Now the 2GB card got erased! It was called "2GB," Now it's blank (besides a directory called "LOST.DIR" w/ nothing in it) and called "NO NAME."
Do you think the phone could be causing this to keep happening? This is how it started w/ the 8GB card until it eventually stopped being recognized at all. Is the SD format supposed to be FAT32?

I have 2 batteries... Seido and the stock battery... I was in a hurry to go out so I switched batteries... I tried to use my camera and it said sd card error... I restarted and removed it.. Put it back in... Still error..
I swap back to my seido battery and now it works fine.. Any ideas?

That IS weird. After backing up your card onto your pc, you might try formatting the card on the DI with the stock battery in and see what happens.
it seems to been a freak issue... I switched my camera storage to internal... the only thing I was mad I was losing was my pictures I took... now its been fine ever since... my sd card is kinda old... I had it in my omnia but figured I only need it to store stuff from apps that require an sd card... would maybe picking up a newer sd card help? only like a 4gb would be plenty for me... I only use 500mb of my 2 gig card as of now
Have you formatted it on the DI?
I have been just clicking the sd card in and out every time I swap batteries... I forgot last night to do it and it didn't work... So just take the extra 1/2 second when swapping the battery to click the sd card...

Hi everyone I have a play xperia r800a 3.0.A.2.181, I have a problem wiht the cell becuase it does not read the sd card. I have just reset my phone countless times and I always get the sd card icon above the cell indicating there is not external memory. I entered settings and I select the option "Mount sd card", it loads and reads the memory but the phone quickly Unmount the SD card, if you can help me I would appreciate it... regards
There's a captor behind and insinde the phone for sd card. Make sure you have close the back of the phone.

yeah the phone is designed to auto unmount the sd card if the cover isn't on properly.
Make sure you have the back cover clicked in or your sd card will never mount.
And are you using still using the stock sd card or did you buy one?

hi,just tried my new 32gb sandisk & it wont stay on,i plugged it in & it says i can safely remove & when i mount it it appears as 29gb and then vanishes again,ive erased the card but still wont stay & also restarted phone ??? any ideas ? is the card a duff ?
bloody hell now my old card is doing the samething & all my data,music & videos etc are not showing ?
none of my cards will stay mounted & ive factory reset also,they just appear & disappear 16gb & my new 32gb sandisk ?
notification keeps coming up to safely remove sd card
There is a little switch that clicks down when you put the back down. Be sure the back cover of your phone is all the way one or it won’t mount.
Also once you change cards your old card will not work in your phone again (data wise).
The phone seems to marry to the card then forget the old card. I learned that the hard way when I put a smaller card in while I rooted my phone (all I did was format the other card at that point). Then I put my main card back in all my games had to be reinstalled.
You can copy all the data files from one card to the other and the phone will recognize both properly

Not that I know of. Like I said it forgot my SD after putting a new one in and formatting it. So i'm guessing one at a time.

Ah, it's actually more convenient because it allows you to change sd cards without restarting your phone.

Same, had the same issues at first, and this was the solution.
That feature is there so hotswapping your memory card won't cause data corruption.

Hi guys, I dropped my phone for the first time EVER in my life (was really sleepy).
Now I can't use my sd card, the phone gave me a popup that it was unexpectedly removed and after that it keeps saying it encountered a problem.
Things like Gallery tell me to "please insert an sd card", it's in there!
I have no idea what to do and it's at least three months left until I can get a new phone, please help me.
Oh, by the way, my phone's not rooted, just normal HTC Sense.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Thread can be closed, I was a dummy and didn't try to remove battery first.
Haha i know the feeling

try to remove it and put it back again. if that doesnt help..recover your photos and everything else with some software and format it
Oh my God..
I didn't even drop it and now it happened again!
Removing the battery and micro sd card didn't work. :crying:
Depending on what important info you have on your SD card, you could consider formatting it via your PC, if you have an SD card slot somewhere.
I had a similar issue some months ago, and formatting the card (via Windows) did the trick.
Of course, remember that formatting the card will erase all data on it, and therefore it could render some apps on your phone to be useless / or not work.
(This might sound weird, but if you have another SD card, try formatting that too and putting that in your phone. Then take out the battery, put the original SD card in and see if it is OK after booting up.)
