of course, backup your data to try this!!

Defrag in a SD device ?
Sound very useless, not parts in moving here !!!
... and a defrag act a lot of moving data steps which can reduce your SD life.
Perhaps the improve speed obtained formatting the SD is only for minor file info data to manage in android filesystem (fat isn't so good)...

are you have try to change your ROM??

【Urgent】SD card become read only under android

Urgent!!!
I don't know if this is a bug or not. I used to copy files by selecting the disk drive mode. After that I will safely remove the device under windows before disconnecting the usb cable.
The problem is sometimes after copying files to sdcard, the SD card will become read only under android. For example I cannot copy or create files using file explorer. When using camera app it says "Unable to save file to SD card due to insufficient file permissions". When using album it says "SD card unmounted or not present".
After the problem occurs I cannot access the SD card via disk drive mode anymore, unless I physically removed and reinsert back the SD card.
The strange thing is I can still access the SD card in PC via card reader with no problem. I can also view the existing files in the SD card under android (eg opening .apk in SD card)
I tried flashing the ROM for 2 times and with a different SD card. Also I formatted the SD using Panasonic SD formatter and partitioned properly. The problem still appear after several access under disk drive mode. Million thanks!!!
I've noticed the same thing in the DL DesireZ v3.3 nand ROM...
But now since I've switched to skink_Clean_Desire_v1.0 I don't have the problem any more...
No problem solver I know... but just to confirm the issue!
It was also read-only when I had disk drive mode chosen and connected to my win xp pc!
so when I deleted files over the computer they still existed...
I always remove the sd card securely!...
hope this helps a little bit!
Memory cards get weak after awhile...Had d same issue with a Memory card...it works well on WinMo but messes up just as u described in android after a format n a few read & writes...Froyo has also been reported to ruin memory cards...Summary, there's no real solution as i've googled all over....My advice is for you 2 get a new memory card, capacity & class (d higher d number, d better its read & write speed) is up to you...I'm using a class (4) 8GB card n its been alright.
P.S. Stop transferring files via d disk drive option in android..stick to using memory card readers or d MAGDLR function (though some also report file errors with dis).

Thanks for your reply
But how come windows and wm can read and write normally but it doesn't work in android?
Also, I have been using NAND and its disk drive option to transfer file in Cotulla's desire stock Rom and there is no problem at all. Would the problem be related to app2sd since the card has a ext4 partition?
do a chkdsk on your micro-sd card. let it repair and then don't delete the LOST folder in your sd card. ^^ you will be able to mount as read/write after this

Try a chkdsk as well...But in my experience, i did it several times & it only acted as a band-aid...As it reverts to read only ltr on...

So is this a SD card problem or ROM problem?
Previously I had been using Cotulla Desire stock Rom for a month and the problem didn't exist.
I don't mind buying a new SD card if it can completely solve the problem. Thanks

[Q] Android can't see MicroSD card

As said, Android can't see my SD. I have CleanDroid installed on NAND.
When I insert the SD in the phone, appears an icon on the top that says "Now it's possible to remove the SD safely". If i remove the SD it says that it's removed, and when i reinsert it, again "Now it's possible to remove the SD safely". Obviously i can't install apps in the sd through "APP2SD", can't use Waze cuz it says that doesn't find the SD card in the phone, the same appears with the camera that tells that if i want use camera i need to insert an SD. BUT THE SD IS STILL THERE!!! what do I wrong with it?
I tried to change my 8GB SD with a friend's 2GB SD... but still the same. I tried to go in Settings, Memory, "Install SD" too, but it only tells again that i can remove the sd safely...WHAT THE HELL I WROOOOOOONG?!?!?!?! xD
EDIT: I forgot, i tried to change the ROM too, tried about 5-6 different ROMs but it still doesn't work...
Did you try formatting with Panasonic formatter?
You're just inserting the SD card right? You're not pressing amount SD card in settings right?
Its look your cards r not compatible with HD2 card reader. I had same issue with about 3 or 4 cards.
The best way is to use genuine SanDisk cards !

but...it's impossible! simply cuz with wm6.5 and wp7 it works perfectly! And on the PC too! In fact yesterday i came back to wm6.5 and the SD works well...
Just format it. ._.
i've tried to format it in ntfs, fat32 & extFat...don't work.... :'(

hi guys, there is an update: today i woke up and tried again to insert an sd card. If it's formatted in NTFS or in exFat it says "The SD is damaged. Do u want to try to format?". So i answer yes, it formats the card and then says again the same thing "The SD is damaged. Do u....". From there whatever SD i will insert wont work cuz it will say the same thing. If i try to insert a 2GB Sandisk SD it wont work, the same for my 8GB Kingston and everything else. If i flash again the ROM (the same or another) it tells only that I can safely remove the SD card...BUT I DON'T WANT TO REMOVE IT! I WANT TO USE IT!!! xD so i think my problem is something like a "loop". The telephone remembers his last one choiche and whatever I will do it will give me the same response for every SD. If I format it will be the same...
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT I'M THE ONLY ONE PERSON WITH THIS FU*** PROBLEM???
I sometimes have this problem - it sometimes does what you describe or says that the card is Damaged.
The only way i've found to fix this issue is to format the Card on a Linux machine - i have a laptop that i can dual boot with Ubuntu - i remove the partitions on the card and format it fresh to NTFS using the Disk Tools in Ubuntu and it works a charm every time....
Hope this helps - it is a bit of an annoying issue!
Cheers

Help, Phone wont stop resetting

ive had the HD2 w/ WP7 for about a month and have loved every bit of it. Today it was working fine, died while i was out and about so when i got home i put in my extra battery, but now it just keeps resetting itself over and over, i took out the SD card and it loaded fine except with none of my info... is there any solution besides flashing it again?
really nothing so far?
Best way in my opinion would be to backup all your sd, format and transfer it back on. If that doesnt work could be something on the sd conflicting with the boot process... just my two cence

i just dont get how it would be working fine, die, and then no longer function properly
first go and download easeus partion manager
http://www.partition-tool.com/
copy your old SD card,using this free software specifically the unpartitioned part from your SD card (the wp7 partition) and calculate the rest of the new SD card to be fat32 or 16.
use an SD card higher than 4GB, 8GB is good try to be sandisk CL4 less error with this type, not totally guarantied as per some users!!!
N.B: first charge your first battery, and try it before gg into this.if every thing is back to normal.it would be battery compatibly with wp7 or something...
and good luck!!! if problem persist you know what to do !!!!

alright thanks, im using the 16gig SD that T-Mobile gave me btw... im gonna start the process now, i got a feeling that my day is gonna end with a hard reset and having to go back and get all my damn apps haha. on the bright side i can do some extra tweaks that i didnt want to do before
alright now i feel stupid, i can not figure out how to copy the card,
I also cant access anything on the SD card, none of my pictures, or app data, is this normal?
yes normal, that's because only wp7 will read ur SD card,
when i asked to copy your card is to copy it through easeus and put it back in your wp7 hd2 to read it the new SD card
gd luck mate

after you downloaded the software, choose the partions it has to be two form your sd card.
one partitioned as fat16 small size and other unpartitioned big part.
choose one and a copy icon will be functional press it and follow the steps...
enjoy mate..

Plz help i beg u

i had a 16 gb micro sd and then when i put it in my phone and connect t to computer it shows 200 mb an eveything is erased
been playing with wp7? that formats most of your card to some funky wp7 format, and leaves you 200 meg free.
use gparted to re partition it.
Or of you don't have a Linux system just use the easier Panasonic SD Formatter 3.0 (Google it) and format it. It'll show as 200mb but hit format and wait for it to format and then it'll return to original size.

i just tryed it not . working plz help ..
How can that not work?
Try to do a full erase using panasonic, that should work.
Oh by the way, make sure you have your SD card plugged in to a card reader snd not just using 'USB MassStg' option in MAGLDR. I used to have the same problem then I just had an SD card reader and it worked.
got a digital camera? shove it in there with the adpater if needed, and format it. twice. just to make sure. and on your computer format it again. there you go. back to normal you can hit the thanks button

how to install stuff in TWRP using my SD card

So I have a backup saved on my device and all roms saved internally..That's eating a lot of space.
Sometimes I may want to format the phone when things go wrong and want to be able to install via my SD card (plus save room). When I first rooted, that caused a major headache. I have a 128gb SD card, yet it shows 0mb when selected in TWRP. Do I have to format it a certain way?

Have you mounted the sd card in TWRP? If it is, then unmount and try mounting it again. If that doesn't work then you might have to reformat the card

To what format? I formatted it to the default thinking it was corrupted but it never was able to be read. And no it can't be mounted because it's like it's not even in.. When the phone's on though it's read perfectly

Maybe try flashing a fresh version of TWRP? What version are you using? It should be able to read it if your phone reads it. Is it in exFAT format?
