Hi all ive just bought a 16 GB micro SD card for my HD2. When I put in in it completely hangs my Phone. If I put it in then boot, it wont start it just stays in a boot cycle. If I put it in when WM has started it just becomes totally unresponsive and when I remove the card WM resumes normal working. The thing I dont understand is, that it works perfectly in the PC reading and writing. Ive formatted it a few times, no difference.
Any Help much apreciated.

PS yes I did search
Have you tried doing a full format and not just a quick format?
Ricey
Yep I could understand if it just didnt work well on the phone or if it was an intermitant thing or if it was sluggish but it totally freezes it.
Hard Reset you phone and format SD card again this resolve you problem.
does any other SD Card work fine in the phone (what size)?
You formatted it with your computer, what settings did you format it to?
Thanks for all your help and sorry for wasting your time but the card is faulty. I thought it was working perfectly on the pc because it appeared to be writing to it and formatting properly but the data then couldnt be read.
Thanks again

Go download H2testw 1.4 and do R+W+V on it.

Hi,
So i have APPS2SD and the cache is also moved to SD , and its been for a long time. I have been running JF ADP1.5 with no problems. About a week ago, my SDCARD somehow got corrupted, but from what i realised it was only the windows partition which i could access and copy apps/music etc to. The ext partition used by android was fine. Untill I removed the card from the phone today while the phone was still on, and obviously the phone completely froze, but thats normal a restart will solve this (as long as I put the sdcard back in) BUT this time. It wouldnt go past the boot screen "T-Mobile G1"
Any ideas ? Do i have to flash the phone and start from the beggining ?? if yes how ?

If I were you I would just reformat the card and throw an update.zip on there and start again. You don't have to start from the beggining you still have root.
Well, I wanted to do that actually , but windows doesnt seem to be able to recognise my card anymore (after the corruption) It just doesnt showup anywhere NOT even in Data management.......:S
Any ideas how to format the card ?
Are you trying to read it thru the phone or a card reader?
Its ok, I sorted it out......I formated the card using my nokia phone (Wierd ? its the only thing that managed to format the damn thing).
and I did a full wipe Now my phone is back like new.........gotta install everything again.
Thanks anyway guys for the help.
Good deal.

Are you able to read it from your PC? Use a card reader and read it through your PC.
If you formatted the card in NTFS then the phone will not be able to read it. You'll need to format it in FAT32 with atleast an 8KB allocation unit size (this will help a little bit with speed)
still
hi,thank u for replying my previous post..

it might be a duff sd card. i had this problem last week. all of a sudden my sandisk 8gig sd card wouldnt work , my phone wouldnt read it and nor could my pc. i tryed formatting it on my pc. but my phone still woundnt read it. i have heard that the hd2 sometimes does this to sd cards .
i bought mine from carphone warehouse so i rang them and they said i could get a replacement so that has saved me 20 quid.
i would probaly get a new sd card.
thanks mate..appreciate it
having similar problems with my 2g sandisk card that came with the phone. except somwtimes it doesnt get recognised then out of the blue starts working. ahen its not recognised the phone knows a card is inserted. with file explorer open if i plug it in it jumps to the bottom of the file list but no sdcard shpws.
its weird as it just starts workibg again. no apparent data loss. gonna get a better card
My SD card drains the battery on the HD2.
Any suggestions??
Ok, after having an Xperia X1 I gave in finally to the HD2. Man is it fast. I've already HSPL, Task 29, and flashed it with Energy ROM. My problem is everything works as it should including the storage card, but after I start playing around with it and it resets it stops recognizing the storage card. If I perform a hard reset, it recognizes it. If I go to boot loader it recognizes it. But after a couple soft resets stops recognizing it. What problems should I look in to in trying to resolve this?
Thanks.

Try removing it, booting the HD2, then switching it off and pop the card back in, does it still not see it?
Is the card the one that came with your phone?

If it is a stock SD card, then get it replaced, they suck. I had to get a new one before I walked out of the store .......

And no, it's not the stock card. It's a Sandisk 16 GB. I heard the stock cards weren't any good. But even with playing with both cards it still doesn't recognize it. This is very frustrating.
Could there be a possiblility of it being a ROM problem? I'll be honest and admit that I didn't even test it when it was stock. I just charged it and did the procedures to flash it and revert to the ROM that I'm use to on my Xperia. Or could it be a faulty phone?
It might be a faulty phone, but you should try different ROMs, see where that brings you.
EDIT: Lots of ppl have trouble with 16GB cards, but if you say that you have the same issues with the stock one, then...
My Xperia recognizes both cards, but the HD2 doesn't anymore. I even reformatted the both cards to FAT32 and both were recognized. So I copied some programs over and installed them...soft reset, and now it's not recognized again. I'm getting frustrated. I found that another member has stated that his class 2 didn't work, but class 4 did. But I thought Classes don't affect whether it's recognized or not, but the read/write speed?
dude try this, I've been doing this a couple of times and it works for my T8585. You insert it into a card reader then plug it to your computer. Most often a message appears on your computer screen telling you to fix your card (I use windows 7) but just ignore it. Then copy all the files in your card to your computer, plug it out and insert it into your phone. You can try and tell me whether it works for you.
SDHC problem
Hi, i have similar problem. When I insert SDHC (4Gb class4),Device dont recognize, but when i plug into USB and press Disk drive,RECOGNIZE. I have HD2 T-Mobile, Energy ROM/Stock ROM...
Can somebody HELP ME ?
I have 16 GB SD card (scan disk) and after I formatted (with card reader on windows XP) the card to FAT32, I run android successfully.
After reboot I started WM (Energy ROM) and when I try to run android again it stuck on boot screen (white screen with HTC in green).
I need to reformat the card again, copy the android folder again and then to run android again.
Is there a possibility to switch between Android & WM without formatting the card every time?
baby jesus doesn't love you anymore
At first, you posted in the wrong topic. This thread should be in Android General Section.
Second, try to format your card two or three times with this tool:
World Formatter
And read this:
Manual
Cheers
i'm joking i have no idea why that's happenning
I'm not sure why your having that problem, maybe cards can get worn after formatting so many times? Not sure, but I haven't formatted my card in over a month and have had WAY less problems than when I use to format it a few times a week.
I have 8gb card, but i never need format, just im copy Android folder to sd, and run Android.
i suggestion, you try another sd card, may be your card have a little problem.
but whatever is your problem is I love the "Baby Jesus" part .. LoL
now to topic -- as said earlier .. try with some other card u have... ur card may be faulty

And as said, I was also a "format-junkie" but I think it's better to just leave the card as it is. Mine works fine now, I haven't formatted since a month.
i had massive problems on my 16gb card but it all cleared up when i formatted using the format tool under windows mobile on the cell phone. i dont think it matters but im using miri's rom. if you want to know the exact verison of what rom im using let me know.
Received my first HTC through the post yesterday and joined the site in an attempt to run android. I know nothing and there's an overwhelming amount of information on this site so just need someone to point me in the right direction.
Used this and followed instructions carefully: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
My problem is after running clrcad.exe and haret.exe, the phone reset after a grey screen. Looked like it went well but now the SD card has disappeared from the file explorer and windows when connected through USB.
Any help appreciated, just want to get the SD card back up so I can format it and so on. Thanks.
I take it by the lack of replies that this isn't a common problem. It's kind of put me off trying any new ROM's as a simple procedure like this can't even go straight. Will have to stick with Winmo then
Im not quite sure anymore, but i dont think you are able to mount your sd as long as you use sd builds. I dont know if this is changing with an ext partition on your sd.
Just check out the NAND section. Its installed on your internal memory and not running from sd. WinMob will be fully deleted and replaced with Android, so first do a backup of contacts etc!!!
If you do not need WinMob for any kind of apps for work etc which arent ported to Android yet (which i dont think there are much NAND is the best solution for you.
Started like you with sd build 2years ago, too. But switched to NAND as soon as it was stable.
Now it is almost perfect.

How did you get the card to show again? Or did you buy a new one?
Just a thought,have you tried a soft reset? Switch phone off Take back cover of and press little red button for a few seconds,put cover back on reboot into android
Also make sure your SD card is formatted to 32kb (slow format)
