It's the SIM card slot, but all other radio hardware is missing (even the mini PCI slot), so it is not going to work.

OK thank you it just makes no sense they would put it in if it didn't have one?

They've not really "put it in" rather "not taken it out". It's the same chasis as the 3/4G version so all they've done is reduced manufacturing costs by sharing a chasis between the two models.

Dead sim cards?

I'm just wondering, if anyone has issues with a dead sim card during use of android?
Not sure if it's that my sim card just went bad or if it was from using android.
If anyone is in the same boat let me know, I know for sure my sim card is bad because I'm using a backup that works fine.

Problem: MicroSD missing on boot.

Hi guys,
I'm having a weird issue with my HTC Aria,
the micro SD card I'm using goes missing from time to time especially after boot. The system just refuses to see it, a physical eject and reinsert of the card is enough to get it to read for a while until it dissappears or until I reboot.
I've already tried formatting the card with the PC and in the phone, neither of which has helped the situation. Has anyone got some other tips of what I should do to sort this problem out.
Manually removing the card 3-4 times a day gets quite tiresome.
.
Is it a Class 2 SDHC memory? A friend was having similar problems with an 8GB card of those characteristics and the phone didnt recognized it, not even after eject and re-insert. Try if the same happens with a SDHC of bigger class (speed)
Actually its a class 4, it does it every restart

Have you tried another card to narrow your issue down to card or phone?

I tried a 2gb Samsung card, like the free one you get with the phone. That had no issues, so it looks like my Kingston 8gb is faulty.

Not recognizing sd card

Hey guys, new atrix owner and I'm loving it! However I'm having an issue where my sd card is not being recognized. I've searched the forums with mixed results. I think I'm having the issue with the connectors not touching properly but I dont know how to fix it
I've tried several sd cards and also formatting it using a computer.
The option to mount sd card and format it on the atrix is grayed out.its not recognizing it as all.
Any help would be appreciated
you sure it pushed all the way in?
Yes its all the way in! And the right way up. I'm trying to use gingerbreak but it needs an sd card mounted for it to work

If it's brand new with this problem on multiple sd cards I would exchange it just to be sure it isn't a persistent problem in the future

That will be my last resort as im in australia and will have to send it overseas
Someone said you have to tighten something in the sd card tray but not sure what or how

Had same issue with my sdcard. Took it out while phone was turned on and put it back in, phone still on. Phone mounted it right away and I've had no issues since.

Already tried that with no luck. Is there a way to root running 1.8.3 without the need of an sd card?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Fixed the issue. Anyone ever experiences the same thing heres what I did
Take the sd card out
Where you slot the card in push that little piece of metal down a little bit
What's happening is that theres too much room between the sd card and the piece of metal so it doesn't contact properly.
I used a small screw driver and now the atrix is rooted and all is well

What they said, I had to do the exact same thing to get my SD card working.

SD card is empty!

Ok, so I woke up this morning and my Droid X won't recognize my SD card. Astor and titanium don't recognize my SD card either. Any ideas? I and about 15 GB of information stored. Oh, I'm the Tranquility Rom.

Maybe unmount it and remount it? Or does it not even see it as being inserted?
It doesn't seem to know that it's inserted. I have an exclamation mark in my notification bar that says Blank SD card

Do you have a card reader? If so, take it out of your phone and put it in the reader, see if you can get anything off it that way.
Used a card reader and it says my SD card is not formatted. Can I reformat my SD card will it but me into a bootloop since I'll lose my all the files? I'm running Tranquility.

Failed card - SD Ram is slightly damaged every time you do a write (not reads). This means that every SD card has a limited life (due to higher voltage writes that damage the silicon slightly).
All you can do is replace the card.
If it is the card that came with the phone than it is low quality and fails easily. I had the same problem some time back. Bite the bullet and get a good quality card. You wont regret it.

Sd card transfer problems

I'm currently using an 8GB sdcard. I bought a 16GB and tried to transfer data. The first problem I have is that it takes forever to transfer it from my computer to the new card. I used a USB cord (new) and it still takes hours. Once it finally finished transferring I reboot and none of my data is there. What am I doing wrong?

Did you get the card from ebay? It's likely the card is a fake, or is just DOA.
of course ,i think the sd card is a fake,to change another sd card to try again

Run that program above. Just because it looks good doesnt mean it is good, thats the whole reason these places make it look normal, so you think you are buying a real card.
And again, it could just be a bad card as well, contact the site and see about a return.
Will do.
