I purchased Wildfire S a few days back. (Android -2.3.3 / Kernel - 2.6.35.10 ). It came with 2GB card. Since I wanted more memory, I purchased 8GB card (Class 4) and tried to insert in the slot. But when I turned on the phone, the card was not accessible. I again re-inserted it, this time, Wildfire informed me that 7.4GB SD card is available. But when I tried to transfer the data from my laptop, all of a sudden message of "SD Card not available" flashed on the screen. I tried re-inserting / rebooting 2 or 3 times but I was unable to use it. When I switched back to the original (2GB) card, it's working perfectly fine.
Am I missing something?
Probably the card is dead. Try it in another phone, or in a card reader, if you have one handy.
If it has warranty, try to get a replacement.

I have been using a 4GB micro Sd card for some time now.
But decided id fork out for a 16GB atlast.
Fitted the 16GB last night, No problem, Bought FPSECE 0.10 support version and a few games.
Today at work, Lunch time I pulled out my htc hd2 to enjoy abit of gaming and showing off the phone, But the Sd card was not found. I restarted the phone several times, tried everything, then decided I would format the phone.
After a format, The card was found again! yay I thought, but lunch was over so,now im home from work, The SD card is no longer read... I have now tried my 2GB micro SD card, My 4GB Micro SD card and my 16GB Micro SD card, All of which wont detect in the HD2, But will in my ORBIT 2 and PC card reader.
Is it a software fault, Or a hardware fault?
Thanks
Ok
Just formatted the phone again. Instantly the Sd card was readable.
So I formatted the card from the phone..Now just hoping for the best.
My guess is some software must have had a bug or virus or something blocking the sd card from being read on the hd2.
Odd.
Its SW problem not HW. I had a same prob after I installed the " tnyynt SD TuneUp " tweak. You just need to find what it is in your phone.Not easy task
Try different ROM-easier way
16gb sdhc card failed after restart.
When it is working (Straight after format) put anything more than 500mb of data on it and it screws up!
Data transfere is around 300kb/s!!! takes the monkey abit.
Then after a soft reset, Its gone again.
I conclude the SD card is defective. I shall be getting a refund.
Today my x started saying the memory card was blank. It will not let me format it or anything. Anyone else have this happen yet?
I have gotten a not recognized mesage before. I took the battery out and pulled the sd card out then booted the phone. Then turn the phone back off and try re-inserting the card.
Do you have another sdcard reader that you can test it in?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I just got a Droid X used. It didn't come with a memory card. I tried the 4gb card out of my Incredible but it wasn't recognized. I tried an old 1gb card. Not recognized. I bought a new 8gb card from Sam's Club. Not recognized.
I did a search here and this post is the closest to what I am experiencing.
I tried to format the new 8gb card to FAT32 just to see what happens. No success.
I have rebooted the phone several times, removed and reinserted the card, and made sure it is seated properly.
The Settings>Storage screen states the following:
Total space - Unavailable
Available space - Unavailable
Mount SD card - Insert an SD card for mounting <grayed out>
Format SD card - Format (erase) SD card <grayed out>
Any suggestions?
If this is a software glitch and rooting is an option, I can do that. I am familiar with rooting from my Incredible. I am hesitant to root with this issue lingering.
Thanks.

have you tried cleaning the sdcard slot? just a thought. if that does not work then its possibly a defective slot.
Hi all,
Last week I tried to upgrade my wife's defy memory card from the 2 GB card that came with the phone to a new Sandisk micro SDHC 4 GB card.
I copied all the data from the phone to a folder on my personal computer, than copied it to the 4 GB card that was mounted on my phone and than replaced the cards.
The phone booted with no problems but short after the main screen was up, the phone got stuck and wouldn't react to anything until all i could do is to take out the battery and boot again.
For now i installed the 2 GB card again and the phone works fine...
Any idea what i did wrong during the process and how i can install the 4 GB card?
Her phone has stock ROM (2.2) and is not rooted.
Thanks...
Have you tried to run without a card? What data do you store on the old card??
Hi, Defy with 2.2 Froyo and Defy+ have problems wiht SDHC cards clas 6 and 10.
Card be come read only. Clik
OK...
So after breaking my head for about a week, here are my conclusions:
First of all, Nikoili, I tried to install a class 4 4GB sandisk SDHC card, so that wasn't the problem. Thanks anyway
Second, tomarsenal, i tried to run the device with no card, it worked with no problems so i understood that there is something in the content on the card that must be getting him all "crazy".
I deleted everything except the camera and music folders and began to play with the device, I saw that some of the predefined settings for some of the apps were gone (GO-Launcher setting for example) but it wasn't a big deal to set it again.
For now, the device is working fine (even quicker IMHO) and it looks that every app that saved some data on the card, had done it again on the new card so no crucial data was lost in the transfer.
Thanks all for your help...
I have a N900 and recently have started having SD Card issues. The card automatically gets removed and then starts the scan process, this happens a couple of times a day.
One of my 32GB card has stopped working and now I cant even format it. I have inserted another card and it has also started showing the same messages.
I have the latest MJ1 and its rooted.
Thanks.
Hello
About 12hrs ago, everything on my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone was working perfectly fine.
I was using my camera to record a video when the playblack crashed and the phone suddenly did a restart. When the phone booted back up again, the phone could no longer read the SD Card. I did several restarts and took out the SD Card and put it back in again and still the phone refuses to see the SD Card.
I know the problem ISN'T the SD Card because when I put the SD card into an adapter and plug it into my computer, the computer can read and see everything on the card.
Any one else have this problem and know how to solve it?
My phone isn't rooted or hacked
Thanks!

-Go to setting/storage and check what is the status for the external SD. May be it is not mounted.
- second check if you get any other SD card to test the phone behavior with it.

I tried a 16G SD card and it connected perfectly.
is there an App which forces the phone to mount the SD Card?

Save your SD card content to your computer and reformat it direct from the phone. If it is successful revert back the data et voilà!
if not Ok it is something wrong with the memory card itself...
I have similar problem. Two days ago suddenly I got message SD card unexpected removed. That puzzled me because I didn't touch SD card at all. Turned phone off and on and seemed to be ok since yesterday. I had SD card removed message again and phone doesn't see any card anymore. I tried bunch of SD cards and no luck. Reset my phone, reinstalled firmware and still nothing. Opened even my phone check sim and SD card board connector.
All my SD card tested, formatted on PC. Any ideas?
