I often have problems when I want to copy data on the phone or get it from the phone on the HDD. It works in general but often it justs hangs and then I have to restart the phone which only shows "synchronising" and doesn#t do anything anymore. Another thing not working very well is accessing data (photos or videos) directly from the sd card. I often get errors when trying to do this. Any ideas?
EDIT:
Now I got a message while copying data "device not working anymore"... What's wrong here?
You can try using a different USB cable or trying a different SD card. I think based on your post it's probably a card going bad.
Hm, it's a class 10 card, h igh quality, worked fine in my HTC desire...

I am having a hell of a time getting stuff over from my PC to my MDA; Lost connections, files and folder becoming corrupt/missing and an amazingly slow transfer speed (sub USB 1 speeds).
Anyone got an ideas where i should start to find the route of my problems? I have a gut feeling that i have a bad SD card, would that cause these problems?
Try using an SD card reader in the pc - if you still get slow or difficult responses then it is the card. try re-formatting it (bacup any data you need if you can obvisously). If the card works fine in the pc reader, try borrowing another card from a friend and see how that one works.
Failing that try googling for an SD card scanner to do an integrity check of it.
I have the T-Mobile (USA) MDA, an HTC Wizard. In it I have a Sandisk 2GB miniSD card.
For the second time now, suddenly and inexplicably, most of the data on the card is missing. There was no operation I executed that could have deleted the data, it was suddenly gone, for no apparent reason. This happened once before?
Has this happened to others? Is it a bug in the MDA, that it sometimes deletes data from the storage card, for no reason? Are those miniSD cards inherently unstable, sometimes suddenly losing their data? Or might I have a defective card?
If the card is defective, I think I could call Sandisk, and get a new card under warranty. (If the MDA is defective, nothing I can do about it, no longer under warranty.) So, I'd like to have some idea--bad card or bad MDA?
Also, I have a USB card reader that can read miniSD cards, and have used that before to transfer data to the card from the computer. That seems to no longer work. I wonder if that is also an indication of a bad card. (Although it could also be the a failure of the card reader, or of my Windows XP installation.) Now I can only transfer data back to the card via ActiveSync.
Is there a utility, that either from the computer, or directly on the PPC, can check the disk surface of an SD card for errors, and fix them (similar to chkdsk)?
Any insight into this problem would be appreciated. Thank you.
I assume you checked the SD on a computer to verify the files were actually gone, and not just "hidden" from the MDA?
Do you have another chip you can test run? Maybe in a camera or something?

"Hidden from the MDA" in what way? (Even when files are deleted they are not "actually gone", and can sometimes be recovered.) Do you mean turned into "hidden files"? No, that's not the case, as I have Resco Explorer set to view all hidden and system files, not to hide any files, and it didn't see the files, nor did any app. Nor did ActiveSync, when connected to the computer, Explore.
As I mentioned, my USB miniSD card reader doesn't seem to be functioning either, so I cannot look at the card directly on the computer.
I'm not sure what you mean by "test run another chip"? I do have another miniSD card, a 1GB card I had purchased first. I don't see what point would be served by "testing" that. It is not that this card is constantly deleting files. You could test this card, and it would seem to be OK. But it has happened twice already, that most (not all) of the data on the card was suddenly missing. So, there is definitely a problem, either on the card, the MDA hardware, or an app or the OS (WM5) on the MDA. But you cannot test it out by putting in another card, as one wouldn't necessarily see the same problem right away, as one also might not with this (problem) card.
Something strange happened since the original post though. Fortunately, I had a lot of the data from the storage card backed up to my PC. Via Activesync, I copied some of that back to the MDA Storage Card. After doing so, suddenly it looks like all the missing data has been restored, including a lot of data that I had not yet copied back.
What could have happened? Still wondering whether to call Sandisk and report a defective card.
undelete tools for normal harddisks work just fine on sd cards in sdcard readers

That isn't the question. I didn't ask how to undelete the files. And, as I said, my card reader isn't working either.
Also, as I said, I had the data backed up to HD, so really don't need to undelete.
So----what's the problem then? Obviously something's wrong if a memory card suddenly and inexplicably loses its data, now for the second time.
So I was asking--what could be causing this to happen? Has it happened to others? Is it likely a defective card? Or defective PPC?

Yes, but without an alternate means of testing either, it's a waste of time to speculate. Hence my admonishment to go find a card reader. You can run a complete format and look for bad sectors on the suspect SD chip that way...something you cannot do from the PPC to the best of my knowledge. Chances are, the boot sector (where the location of files in memory is written) on your SD chip is failing (if the chip is old, that is VERY likely, as flash memory has a limited number of rewrites that usually hits around the 2 year mark for heavy users, and if you're moving music on-and-off a lot, that's you....).
So, no, there's no way to be SURE, without getting your hands on a reader (and c'mon, they're like, $10).
Hi,
i'm wondering if somone can help me with this:
When i connected to WiFi error message appeared saying: "The process com.htc.provider has stopped unexpectedly please try again"
The Sence UI crashes and it stars with unreadable MicroSD card i bought recently.
The Mobile network although turned on shows as disconnected.
Firmware: 1.5
Kernel: 2.6.27-430d1aea
It seems i solved the problem with crashing Picture viewer and music player.
Because of the new technology of MicroSD cards called "HC" HTC Hero didn't fully support this type of memories.

Nah, they do support High capacity,.. Maybe you'v got some corrupt music or pictures on it.
yeah ive got a 8gb micro sdhc in mine, works fine
i suggest you backup all the data on your mem card, format and copy it all back on
good luck
I will try formatting the Card
I switched with older 2GB card and it seems fine now.
Can anyone figure out the error message above that i get when connecting to internet.
and any idea with the phone hanging and requires a restart.
Something with the sense UI stopped responding unexpectedly and requires to close
every two days or so.
Had a 16GB memory card in my HD2 for about 6 months. Yesterday it failed for no apparent reason. Anyone else had this happen? Or any idea as to how I could get the data back? Tried it on my PC in a card reader, but it just says 'Please insert disk...'
Not that big a deal, but its a hassle as most of my apps and icons, and all my TomTom maps were stored on the card
quite a few have had memory cards fail whilst using them in the hd2
same here
also had a new (ebay/unbranded) 8Gb micro SD card fail on me last week after only 6 days of use. Completely fried - PC refused to recognise it existed at all. Lucikly had been syncing entire contents daily to a backup folder on my home NAS using GoodSync so returned to ebayer for replacement and then re-synced with no data loss.
I had a similar experience, not with my HD2 but with my previous HD. The card appears in the directory only for a few seconds and then disappears, on every fresh reboot of the phone (not sure if that's your case too). So what I did was to have the phone boot-up while connected to the PC, and copy the data from it as quick as possible before it 'disappears'. Once I did that and had all my info safe, I formatted the card and it worked fine afterwards. Never knew what exactly had caused the failure though, but fortunately I was able to recover the data as described.
Had a failure with a 16GB mSD Sandisk in my HTC Touch HD Blackstone 2 months ago after 2,5 years of heavy use. Parts of my data were corrupted and phone froze.
mSD was still recognized by PC but unable to write or copy any data any more. Also no luck with recovery apps for PC.
I dunno if it was the Blackstone that fu..** the card or vice versa, the ROM of my Blackstone was fu..** too. I flashed G10s Ultimate Dusk, have a new sd card and now works fine again.
Sh.. happens once in a while
I am running one of the nightlies on my sd card. The last couple of weeks my nook has been acting weird. It doesn't automatically log onto my wifi, doesn't save calender settings, doesn't stay logged on for google voice and several other random app crashes.
I took the sd card out and tried to put the latest nightly on it and I received an error stating "the device is no longer attached" or something like that. A fellow member suggested that it might be the micro sd adapter so I ordered another one. As I wait for it to arrive, I was wondering do my symptoms sound like the sd card itself is going bad? Any help would be appreciated.
By "one of the nightlies" do you mean the CM9 builds that are being put out? I know with those wifi connection has always been a problem and typically a turn off/on restores connection. I believe there was calendar issues as well that someone had to use a different gapps for.

No cm7. Probably from 2 months ago. The calendar I use is Jorte.
I also just tried to uninstall Jorte and when I rebooted the nook, the program was back. Looks like I might have to format the sd card
I got a new adapter and was able to move data to and from my sd card but I was unable to format the card. I tried formatting from my pc, disk manager, and cmd prompt and all failed. The command prompt gave me the following error "invalid media or track 0, disk is unusable".
Does that mean my sd card died?
