Problem with unrooted legend froyo 2.2 8gb sdhc card.

Hello everyone,
This is my very first post. Sorry if its redundant one. But i couldnt find any thread with this specific problem.
Here is the thing, i bought HTC legend just 2 weeks ago. I have unrooted legend with Froyo 2.2 vodafone update. Yesterday i bought Kingston 8GB class 4 microSDHC card. I placed it in my legend. It detects it no problem formatted it. But it seems whenever any application tried to write to sd card. I get the message "SD card unexpectedly removed".
I have tried formatting card with Panasonic sd card formatter . Tried formating it under windows. The card works fine on PC read/write. But for some odd reason phone can only read from it
Also stock 2gb card is working like a charm in phone.
Please Help!

Try with some other brand
Usually Kingston has lot of duplicates especially in India

Yes i did consider that possibility. But the thing is card is working perfectly fine in pc. I have 3MB/s write speed when i copy things into card using pc. So if card was not original it shouldn't work even under windows. It just doesnt work with legend.
If i shall not find a suitable solution here. I will be left with no choice but to spend more money. Try ScanDisk.

Anyone??? I dont want to end up buying another card just to find out it doesnt work either.

man i have the same issue using kinsgton 8gb microsd hc, for example i do some photos, and on the 5th one, it says unaable to save file do unsuitable permissions or smth like that...it also mixes my music in a way i cannot imagine ! ahah, it puts like..5 songs into 1 without any pause ...dont know. the stock one is perfect, but i just guess theres problem with the company..they might be fake.

Try to enable usb debugging mode.

3 MB with a class 4 Kingston ?
You should consider that your card is a fake one ...

That could be the case. At this point i have given up trying to make 8gb card work on my phone .I think i will buy ScanDisk and give it a try.
Any idea how much write speed a class 5 card should have?

Class 5 has minimum write speed of 5MB/s

5MB/s minimum. If class 5 existed
Here is the definition of the class for sdcards :
Class 2 : 2 MB/s minimum write speed
Class 4 : 4 MB/s minimum write speed
Class 6 : 6 MB/s minimum write speed
Class 10 : 10 MB/s minimum write speed
However, certains class 6 are less performant than certain class 2, so try to choose your new card wisely.

sometimes it is not the brand but the shop/seller is the issue. can always buy online from Kingston online shop if u have doubt abt counterfeit.

Hi! Check the lock switch! maybe its turning on when you put the card into the phone...

I had kinsgton 8gb microsd with same problem
work fine on PC with low read/write rate and my HTC legend rejecting it sometimes saying i don't have permission over my SD
anyways, this was due to corrupted SD card. I replaced it and everything works fine now

I had kinsgton 8gb cls4 microsd with same problem
on my LG OPTIMUS ONE with froyo
it notify me with msg "SD card unexpectedly removed"
some time after this notify msg my phone reboot ifself

Kinda sounds like a bad card. What brand and where'd you get it from?

It's a pny from best buy

I had this happen to me a while back. What fixed the issue for me was to take the SD card out and slap it into a reader connected to my PC. Ran chkdsk on the card and fixed any errors. Worked flawlessly!

SDhc problem.

Hello!
I just got my new SD HC (32Gb) card for my htc HD2 device, but im getting weird crashes when i just put some Gb of for example music. It deletes some of it, or changes it to thousands of 0byte weird files..
Can someone help?
/card wasnt expensive and its not Kingston or so./

I'm really not certain about this, but their a limit on the size SD card our hd2's can support. (Either 16 or 32gb which is what I'm uncertain of) try formatting your new SD card into two 16 gb partitions and then see what happens.
Hopefully either that helps or someone with more knowledge than I will comment and give you a better answer

Well the limit is definitely not 16gb because I have one of those and it works fine in Android but it for some reason cannot boot SD Android. Also, if I'm not mistaken MarkAtHome (I've seen him in many of the NAND threads, especially NexusHD2) has a 64GB SDXC card as he was posting something about that a while ago. He'd have to confirm though.

Where did you get your memory card?? You son are a victim of false advertisement. I purposely purchased a "cheap" 16GB sd card from ebay and it wasnt even bigger than like 300MB. There are ways to fake the memory size, and thats why when you try to put the music on your card is says its not there because there truly isnt any physical memory available. And also why it gives those weird readouts. Sorry to bust the news :/

According to HTC's website, the HD2 can support up to a 32GB SDHC (class 10 i believe)

Yes. You set up two partitions 32 gb each.

There have been threads discussing how certain sd cards do not perform well in android devices, including the HD2. It has to do with some of the access times the cards are rated at.
I have tested a 32gb patriot class 10 card in the HD2 and samsung vibrant that made both phones freeze and run terribly slow until the card was removed.
Sandisk cards run flawlessly in the HD2 and I have only been using them for the past year, including a 32gb and a 64gb SDXC. The 64gb must be formatted as fat32 inside the phone before it can be used, but the full 64gb is available.

I agree with elesbb. Infact the same thing had happened to me about 4 years ago. What they do it put a memory hack in the SD card fooling it to think there is more memory. I would say if you bought it from ebay contact the seller first and
tell them you think it might be fake and you wish to get a real card asap. If they don't send you one or sound like they may be un-willing to then you should report them. Here's some information found on ebay's site about fake memory cards.
If you bought it from a different online seller you should still contact them about it and say you did some research and believe you recieved a counterfit item. In the link i shared above there are a few examples of how to spot fake cards including some pictures if you go through the links. I've read somewhere that if you have a sandisk and the class rating is in the corner then you more then likly have a counterfit one. Sandisk's class ratings should be centered in the middle of the SD card.

Okay, i've just sent email to him, hopefully he will just re-send me new, (working..?) or give money back!

Problems with 64GB SD card

Hi.
I recently bought myself a 64GB class 10 Sandisk card from Amazon which I was going to use with my Note 3. When I first put it in I formatted the card in the phone. And then I took a few pictures and videos and all seemed to work fine.
The next day when I was taking some photos it suddenly switched over to the internal memory and I got the message that it was unable to save to SD card. I checked the gallery and the last picture i took was corrupted. So after this I tried taking the card out with the phone turned off, put it back in and started the phone. I was able to take some photos but when I was going to record a video it corrupted the file again.
After this I put the card in my PC and did a full format to exFAT and tried filling all ~59GB with pictures, videos and other files and from what I could see no files were corrupted.
Then I formatted it once again in my PC to exFAT and put it in the phone. After a few pictures it once again corrupted the files, even the camera app (default one) crashed at one point. Formatted the card in my phone again but same problem.
I then tried the card in my Gopro camera, first formatted it in the camera then recorded several videos in both 4K, 1440P, 1080P and took several pictures and everything was fine.
I'm not sure but the card seems to be working in other devices. Do you think the problem is the card or my phone? Before this I've used a 16GB class 4 Sandisk card with no problems at all.
Any tips on what I can do?
Thank you in advance!

It's stock and not rooted.

Could be a bad card, try unmounting and mounting the card again and see if that fixes it.

Yeah I've tried that a few times as well and it didn't help. But as I mentioned the card seems to work just fine it other devices. But in my note 3 files get corrupted.
Do you know of any program or any other way to test/confirm that it is the card that's bad?

Actually I do. I have used the HP SD Card Format Tool to fix cards in the past and it has worked pretty well. I also found this thread here on XDA that references it as well.

What write and read speeds were you getting in the PC? The Sandisk models are among the most faked models and that is by far the most frequent problem that I have seen. There have been also certain batches with problems, but Sandisk is always replacing those almost no questions asked if it is a genuine card.
I also have a 64GB Sandisk Ultra which was used about 1 year in my i9300 and now almost 4 months in the N9005 and so far I have never had any problems (but I am keeping an eye on the 128 GB models if those seriously go down in price).

I just ran a test in the program H2testw 1.4 and got these results:
Warning: only 60872 of 60874 MByte tested.
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the past files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 8.49 MByte/s
Reading speed: 17.5 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4
So the reading speeds seems fine I guess, it also filled the card with files and verified it.
I would assume that if it was a fake it would have slower speeds and maybe only 2-4GB of space?
I am using the SD card adapter that came with the SD card, and then I put it in a USB SD card adapter in a USB 2.0 port.

Is anyone else having problems with 64GB SD cards? It's as if my Note 3 wasn't compatible with the card since it is working fine in other devices and isn't a bad card according to the test I did.

Sorry .deleted.

Sounds like a hardware fault on the Note 3... I've been using both a sandisk and a samsung 64gb class 10 card on both my note 3's with no problems from the start...
Never had a problem with file corruption....
sdhc and sdxc are 2 different formats - sounds like you could use a 32gb sd card fine but it has issues with the 64gb sd card.... 64gb sd card is the newer format sdxc....
Unfortunately here you hit a snag... Unless the samsung sites list 64gb as ok to use on the Note 3 then they may just say to to warranty repairs.... If 64gb is the listed size (generally "up to ") you should have no problem. It does sound like your card reader doesn't like sdxc... Unless you can get your hands on another 64gb sd card to find out you not be able to use your 64gb sd card...

Performance Impact of Honor 5X when 64GB external memory card is installed?

Hi All @xda,
I wanted to inquire if anybody has hands-on experience of using a 64 gb memory card with the Honor 5X smartphone and also does the phone support installing apps on external SD card.
Any leads will be helpful as I'm about to buy the phone.
TIA ,
Sarvesh

I have a 64GB Class 10 (Extreme Sandisk) micro-SD in phone and was able to transfer an App to SD with no problem.

I got a 128 GB class 10 in mine and everything seems well. Haven't tried to put any apps on the SD card though.

Does the phone start to hang after data is filled up in the SD card?.I mean does the performance(snappyness) slows down?

which theme are you using?

No issues here as well. I have tried with both 32GB and 64GB cards.
Just make sure that you are using a Class 10 card.
