Hi there. Bought 4GB Kingston Elite Pro SD card. Formatted FAT32, and 3.0GB of files on it. XDA exec will neither read, nor format it. (NB, works perfectly with identical card, but in 2GB capacity. Card is standard SD, not SDHC.
Any thoughts
Thanks
I have a 4gb card aswell for my spv 5000 and it won't read it. it only sees 1.71gb of it but won't format it
I recall that this has been dealt with on the Uni-Accessories area. Have a search there. 4Gb cards definitely work. Maybe it has to be FAT not FAT32?
Also wondering if you flashed with the SD card inserted? I think this will consider the SD card as part of the ROM and basically uses some of the card (although what for I don't know).
Mine is FAT32 (4GB Transcend 150x) works fine.
Have you tried the card in a card reader? What are the results there?

No, haven't flashed ROM for many months.
Card shows up fine when inserted into the reader slot on my Dell Inspiron 9400. I can open files on it, and copy files to it, but when put in XDA EXEC, always get 'Would you like to format this disc to make it readable?', and if you click yes, the XDA EXEC freezes.
Hello All
I too hav a Orange SPV m5000 and im using a PQI 4GB Sd card.
Its working fie here.
Formated: FAT32
I guess its a kompatibility thing?
@kennethsross... have you ever been able to read the card from the phone?
I know there are lots of problems with imitation cards on the market that aren't quite as reliable and fast as they're supposed to be. It's worth buying one of the more expensive ones just to avoid this problem (not saying this is the problem, just bit of info).
It does seem strange that it reads fine out of the unit though... maybe like SPVlover says, it could simply be a little compatibility issue (which would be annoying as hell!).
Just wondering what your OS version is? Maybe it's a slightly corrupt install? That's clutching at straws I know...
Might be worth checking the following settings in your registry...
hklm\drivers\sdcard\clientdrivers\class\mmc_class
hklm\drivers\sdcard\clientdrivers\class\SDMemory_c lass
The value in each should be set at 64 as standard unless you've tweaked it. Just wondering if those values are present at all? If not, it sounds like a corrupt driver install.

TRANSCEND 4GB 150x SD card formatted to FAT32 works in my QTEK9000 with the latest A2DP ROM without problem

Looking more and more like this is a counterfeit card. Wondering if it is an SD-HC after all - Kingston claim they do not make 4GB standard SD cards.
I guess that would explain why my laptop can read it (SD-HC capable), but the XDA-EXEC can't.
Thanks again for all your advice on this. Maybe shouldn't have bought on eBay!!!
Hi, I've been browsing around the forums trying to work out whether a 4GB MiniSD or MiniSDHC card will work with the Trinity or not, but I can't seem to get a definite answer..
For those of you, who have successfully been using 4GB (MiniSD or MiniSDHC) for a long while now, (> 1 month preferably), how did you get it working? i.e. how did you format it, are you using a different ROM, etc.
My device will be the Orange SPV M700 (I haven't got it yet), if I flash it with, say, a Dopod ROM, what are the advantages/disadvantages?
Thanks for the help!
I have a DoPOD d810, i also would like to know if it can handle a 4GB MiniSD.
Please reply if you have any experience with this issue.

Listen up guys...How many threads does it take to get this issue solved? I have been using a TopRam 4gb miniSD for 3 months. I'm a power user with TomTom, video apps and audio apps all running directly from the miniSD card. The card is 85% full of nav maps, music and videos. I have never had an issue with this setup running the Dopod Test Rom found in the Wiki of this site. It works for me, that is all I can say. Apparently there are some rom versions that have had issues in the past.
Thanks.
I also saw some other threads on this issue, it would seem that the Trancsend 4GB MiniSD is the most promising.
At this point, it's hit or miss. While a few users report no problems, many others have had problems with not only the 4gb, but smaller cards as well.
I, for one, have a 2gb card that works flawlessly, and a 4gb card that wont last a day without errors. My belief is that this has more to do with the brand/manufacturer than anything else

Im having major probs with my 4GB trancsend SDHC card.
It no longer is recognised through my card reader / HTC P3600
Tested on all ROMs that are available to download. Still trying to find a solution.

From what i saw in some forums you should not use "SDHC" (yet, till HTC solve the problem) but normal one and Format FAT/FAT32
Hi guys!
I've read several threads here regarding which cards work and don't work in our machines. One of the main threads is ridiculously long, and describes various reg hacks that do NOT solve the problem.
In my opinion, there is NOTHING worse than a PDA that needs to be rebooted every day or several times a day.
I am starting this thread just to bring the basic information into one place.
I can tell you right now:
I have two 2GB Sandisk MicroSD cards, and one 512MB card.
Not surprisingly, all three have problems in two 8525 devices, with two different WM5 ROM.
I know that the 1GB Made in Japan Kingston seems to work flawlessly.
Can anyone else please share their experiences in this thread? Let's keep it nice and clean, so that people wanting to understand what works and what doesn't.
How are the 2GB Kingston cards? Anyone have any luck?
I have used the SanDisk 2GB with no known issues.
I also have a 2g Sandisk with no issues over nearly 11 months.
I'm not sure you will prove much here as I have seen folks who swear Sandisks are bad and Kingstons (typically 2gig) are flawless. Equally I have seen exactly the reverse views reported. It may have more to do with physical connections (contacts) between device and the card.
But lets see how it pans out.

I have as well and love it. Only issue I have is getting the little sucker out! I just leave it in. The only way I have found to get it out is by opening the back, and using an eye glasses screw driver to slide it out.
sandisk 2g and 1 g here and no issues with either work perfect. um you do know if you push it in it releases the catch and it pops out like its suppose to right?

If only it was that easy. For some reason, mine doesn't do that. I push in, it doesn't pop out
Not AKU2.3?
Hands up those of you who have microSD card problems with AKU2.3 ROMs!
Using a SanDisk 1Gb here no problems. Also using WM5 Build 14955.2.3.0, which is AKU 2.3 is it not?
Mine is the HERM300 (MDA Vario 2).

Kingston 2GB made in Taiwan
Often not responding after loading for a few times. Need to be inserted into the device again.
Toshiba 2GB made in Japan
No problem until now.
Wow, I've got something different!
1GB Corsair MicroSD in my Imate JasJam.
Worked flawlessly for 6 months until I became the new owner of both phone & card, it then had card detection issues for a couple of days, but came good on it's own.
Now on WM6 and still working fine. I'm wondering if larger than 2GB cards will work.
Cheers! Oggy.
I purchased a SanDisk 4gb microSDHC and it DID NOT work!!!
I am now back to using my 2gb A-data microSD (which works fine).
No problems with my A-Data MyFlash 1GB, although once or twice I did have to use a tweezers or a needle to extract it. Just FYI, I bought my card on NewEgg.com, and people there usually leave feedback on if the card worked or not on their particular mobile device.
Very interesting.
So it looks like some people have 2GB Sandisks with NO problems.
Mine pops in and out quite nicely, actually. Although on my dad's unit, you need a tweezers.
Typical......!

I have a 8525, had that issue on day 1 and it was driving me crazy. then I thought let's put a needle down there and see what happens!! the thing lost its virginity, now pops in & out just fine
BTW I have Sandisk 2GB microSD card (Made in Taiwan) which works fine, I just have to eject and reinsert it in sleep mode.. else i'll have to SR so that the device would recognize it.
micro SD not reading
My unlocked M3100 has stopped seeing the storage card - nothing wrong with the card (tested elsewhere), and it used to work (on M3100). How might I rectify this?

My SanDisk 2GB Taiwan card would disappear every other day or so. It wasn't a huge problem as I'd just have to pop it out and push it back in to get everything working again, but I needed another microSD card for another device so I bought a Kingston 2GB hoping to get a Japan card. I ended up with a 2GB Kingston Taiwan card, but it works just fine (a month now) without disappearing *knocks on wood*

I have occasional problems with a 1GB Made in Japan Kingston, so I have to disagree with your statement.
I am convinced that this problem is hardware related. Either a connector fit problem as Michael Channon believes, and/or a motherboard problem as I believe. Earlier Hermes motherboards were manufactured by Hitachi, HTC now uses a different supplier for their motherboards. Rumour has it that the Hitachi mobo's have a problem with the mSD card hardware (could be the same problem I s'pose).

Sandisk 2GB card
I also have a Sandisk 2GB.
It had trouble ejecting the first few times and I had to use tweezers or the tip of a razorblade to get it to slide out but after a very short time it started moving normally.
My 8525 does lose site of the card from time to time and I sometimes have to re-insert it several times before it is recognized but I have not had to reset the phone to get it to come back.

its trascend, 8gb, i got it with my HTC...
Hi again.
Have you tried another one? Perhaps you could borrow one to see if it has the same problems.
I am currently using the original and a scandisk 8Gb and don't have trouble with either of them.
I have tested and can do a full format in windows XP using a USB 2.0 mini card reader and still use the cards as normal.

I'm using a SanDisk 16Gb card with no problems at all. They can be more expensive but shop around I got mine nearly a third off the average cost!
Just ordered kingstone, so soon will tell u hows gona work...

I`ts wery fast and stabel i have been testing it for Music and HD Video and large Photos.
I`m wery settisfined with it.
Regards MacRoy
I always end up buying SanDisk.
Never had a problem with them.
Ty for advices and telling whats the best guys !
Well, unfortunate sandisk failure here.
Bought in March a 16G sandisk for my blackstone... 2 weeks ago started getting "card is not readable" messages and had to revert back to my 1,5 years old 6G large one. Haven't bought a new one yet. Wanted actually first to check out if the blackstone can handle a 32G card at all?!
I managed to get most of the relevant stuff out of the broken card via the SD-adapter, but some couple dozen files were unreadable - messed up the transfer always so that had to take the card out of the reader and reinsert to try to read the next file.

SanDisk memory cards are covered by long warranties. I think MicroSDHC is 10 years... You should get a free replacement.

Have you tried formatting your card?
Yeah I've formatted at least 3-4 times. Perhaps I should take a look at the warrant.

I have a problem with my HD MINI I have Android 2.2 on it and I can´t use my SD-Card. I tried to format it with fat32 but it didn´t work. I have and 8GB Micro SD Card by Hama, Class 2 and i don´t know what to do Please answer
maybe a hard reset might help, if not buy a better sd card eg. sandisk, kingston, samsung.......
Sandisk not works for me. Tried 2 sandisk not working
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
Have you tried formatting it using your phone? There is a tool somewhere in the WinMo if you use a stock ROM or a custom ROM that didn't remove it. Good luck!
I tried to format but it didn´t work later as well I´m sure I´ll buy a new one which one are working?
Htc Hd Mini Android Sd Card Problems
Even me too have the same problem. My SD card is Sandisk 8GB micro sd , also fat 32. Still its not detecting the Memory card. So not able to use the camera , not able to browse the files etc
Just to confirm, I've tried two Sandisk SD Cards and neither of them work. However I picked up a TDK card and it worked absolutely fine. Looks like Sandisk is a very unreliable card to use for Android. I've never seen anyone launch Android on one!

I dont think it is the memory cards. I have just had my new HTC Sensation delivered and it cannot read the supplied 8gig card that comes with it ( that contains a copy of the ROM\Software ).
I put the same card in my HTC Hero running Elelinux ROM ( Android 2.2.3 ) and it read it no problem. Also my PC read the card , no issue. I put my HTC Hero card in the HTC Sensation and it wouldnt read that card. The Sensation is running Android 2.3.3 straight from Orange.
Phoned Orange last night as the phone only arrived in the morning. They are sending me a replacement phone today via courier.
Lots of discussion about this on HTC Sensation, EVO 4G, Desire and Wildfire on the net. Also, in the USA Sprint have issued a software update for the EVO to cure the problem.
I have made a note of my software stack so i can compare with what arrives later today. Suspect that if it isnt a hardware issue then its a software problem. Nothing worked to get the twoc ards workign in my phone, hard resets etc. The phone wasnt detecting the card being put in - normally on the OS sees the card insert and you get a message 'preparing SD Card' . Mine totally dead in this respect.
Lets see what happens today.
