I recently upgraded my phone to 2.3.3 from 2.1.
After upgrading, my phone no longer detected my 32GB SD.
I spent a lot of time researching the issue and found that most people just went to a smaller card like I did.
I went out and bought a 4GB card.
After loading my phone up with apps and audio and images, 4GB was not enough.
So, here is how I resolved this...
I downloaded HPUSBDisk.exe which is an HP USB format tool.
Copied the content of my 4gb micro to my PC/Laptop.
I inserted my 32GB micro SD into a "micro sd USB adapter"...
Format the SD using the HP USB format tool (FAT).
Copy the contents from the 4GB to the 32GB.
When I placed the 32GB into the phone and powered it up it was now recognized.
weird, I own a 16GB card and never had problems with 2.3.3
actually never heard about this problem until today

16 GB are not really a issue.
I use a 32gb from Kingston and have no issues. ??? Think maybe it's not the memory size that is the problem. Maybe it got corrupted? I had that problem on a smaller card on a round of back to stock while playing around with ROMs and such. Formatted it on PC and all was fine... think it was 8? Was a while a go. But I've heard of it happening while updating, read about it after I had the issue with the card that came with my x10.

1. X10i officially supports cards by a capacity no more than 16 Gb. However, most cards 32 Gb work normally too.
2. A card can be formatted by standard facilities of Windows, it is important only, that a clustersize was 32 Kb

thank you

I have an X10a... but whatever.
When I flashed my 32gb SD using Win7, regardless of the cluster size, it would not work in my phone. Period.
I am NOT the only one who has had this problem nor am I the only one who found success in my method.
The 32gb I have in my phone right now, was formatted using the HP Tool at 16kb...

Yes but quite a few cards seem to have bad compatibility.
I'm curious if it's a certain class of cards that cause issues, or if it's certain vendors or brands? Do certain brands format them different and that causes the issue?
I researched what class was supported and bought a brand name (Kingston) that isn't high end but from a reputable business so I knew it wasn't fake. Bought a 32gb class 4 Kingston from Tiger Direct, popped it in and it worked fine. I put it in and tried it before transferring data to it.
I'm definitely not discounting the issue, but finding out WHY the issue is there is what I'm curious about.
i heard SDHC work the best but i'm idk the difference really, all i care about is the memory on the card

MY 16GB class 4 & 32GB class 6 KINGSTON both worked very well with no issue's.
Having the same problem!
I just upgraded my X10a to 2.3.3 and it's not detecting my 8gb SD card, I re-intalled the 2.1 android and the card worked fine, then I upgraded it again to 2.3.3 and formated the card, didn't work... I don't know what to do now!
Having a similar problem!
Hi, I've been having a problem with mi 8GB SD card, the thing is that I just Upgraded my X10 to 2.3.3, but it's not detecting the micro SD, it was working fine till I did the upgrade, so I took the card and plug it into the PC, it is working, then I tried changing the fortmat, didn't work either, so I changed it back to Android 2.1 and It got it working again, I tried one more time to upgrade to Android 2.3.3 and the problem persists, all the apps and features are working just fine, but the phone it's kinda useless without the microSD...
Anyone that knows what the problem might be, please reply, cuase it's very frustrating!!

The stock 8GB card in my x10 died quite fast.
They get scratched underneath easily.
Hate to bump up an old-ish thread. But I came across the following article and the pertinent quote from it is "We tested this card on some phones including Motorola Razr and Samsung Galaxy S2 and even on a year old Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and it works fine"
So it looks like this old dog was still able to use a 64GB micro sdxc card.
But at 110$ USD (cheapest I've found so far)... might not be worth it yet.
Hello Dell streakers.. I am planing to buy a used streak and was going thru various threads for streak development and stumbled upon a theard about upgrading streaks inner-SD from 2gb to 4gb. And then i searched youtube for any video regarding the same and found this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w4AbtIGp8A&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Is it realy safe to install inner sd like its done in the above video? Also i have two 16gb sd cards so is it possible to install both in this this device? Or maybe one 64gb card?Just curious...
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
That's one of the common ways to do it, if the video does what I think it does (only watched a couple seconds)
Method 1: Cut away the plastic covering the innersd, as there isnt that much
Method 2: Completely disassemble/reassemble the device, which is a huge amount of work.
Method 2 also must be repeated every swap, method 1 doesnt, but is a permenent change.
I know the S5 will accept a 4/8gb one without much issue.
16/32gb I dont recall, they may have issues.
A 64 one would be an SDXC, can you see the entire card in SDHC compability mode?
the answer is YES, is safe to install another card. I use the same method like in the video and i replace the card with 8gb class 10 from Kingstone.
Did in half an hour or so with the disassembly method upgraded to 8 Gb with 6Gb remaining internal memory. Get a 8Gb class 10. Mine is a trancend ultimate. Tried a kingston 16Gb class10 but the phone didn't recognize it. Perhaps the transcend 16 will work as well as 8Gb version. Mind you the phone does a fscheck on startup so the larger the card is the longer it takes to start up. It took about 30% more time for the 8Gb to start up as it did with the 4Gb class4 stock card from sony.
Grts.

You need to do something to the card to get it to accept more than 8 gigs, though I don't remember what. It is perfectly safe. A hell of a lot safer than taking the entire phone apart, risking ESD, etc. Though, my cut wasn't as clean as that. Lol.
Allright!!
Seems like this method actually feels less risky then opening the whole phone apart.. I remember how i messed up my sony vaio ux while upgrading the internal 32gb HDD with 128gb HDD..
Allright then.. btw i found information about how to enable innersd more then 8gb. Theres some sort of script and editing in boot file.
Thanks for the responses guys..

Me too. I was actually more worried that I'd slip with the knife and ruin the phone. It was dead simple to disassemble the Streak - I went slowly and carefully the first time, but in the end, it was simple.
the question is : does it makes you're streak faster to or is it just more storage?

It gave me more storage, and actually slowed down my Streak. Trying both a 4gb and 8gb card, I ended up with a lot of pauses and slowdowns just doing basic operations with my Streak. It was nice to have the extra space, but it made the phone way less usable.
I went back to the stock card.
I put in a Sandisk 8gig class 4 sd card and the streak feels snappier than before. The stock sd card is a 2gig class 4 card.

Opening the Streak up? I did that a couple times, I'm not sure how you'd break the inner SD card doing that.
I got fed up with it though and finally just cut the plastic. It was a little nerveracking, but I managed not to damage anything (just some scratches on the outside of the original inner SD card). 8gig CL10 and I'm laughing now, everything seems to work fine.
im using assembling /disassembling ( tear down the streak ) to replace my innerSD.
using 4GB class 6 now. it can use more than 8GB (like 16 or 32 or higher)
but you need to copy your old inner to the new one and resize the partition.
after that, it would work like a charm. you no need to re-install your ROM

Ide like more info on getting a 16gb or bigger to work. . . . . And what is that script to run on copied to new sd.
Also. . . . I wonder if a 64gb would work if it was formated first in fat32,instead of exfat. . . . . I read somewhere on a sammy forum for the note 2,that there was a special process some used to get their 64gb cards to work

copy your old inner partition to the new one using free software that you can find with googling. i use minitoolpartitionwizard for this things.
after that you must enlarge the partition on your new inner (the copied data/partition that you must enlarge) using partition tools hirenbootCD (i use ver10)
then insert your new inner sd and try..
for DSC ROM if i am not wrong it only support max 16GB. but theoretically it can be no limit.
try my method... check the signature (no need googling )... 64gb is possible but sorry.. no fat32 supports right now...

I'm really not certain about this, but their a limit on the size SD card our hd2's can support. (Either 16 or 32gb which is what I'm uncertain of) try formatting your new SD card into two 16 gb partitions and then see what happens.
Hopefully either that helps or someone with more knowledge than I will comment and give you a better answer

Well the limit is definitely not 16gb because I have one of those and it works fine in Android but it for some reason cannot boot SD Android. Also, if I'm not mistaken MarkAtHome (I've seen him in many of the NAND threads, especially NexusHD2) has a 64GB SDXC card as he was posting something about that a while ago. He'd have to confirm though.

Where did you get your memory card?? You son are a victim of false advertisement. I purposely purchased a "cheap" 16GB sd card from ebay and it wasnt even bigger than like 300MB. There are ways to fake the memory size, and thats why when you try to put the music on your card is says its not there because there truly isnt any physical memory available. And also why it gives those weird readouts. Sorry to bust the news :/

There have been threads discussing how certain sd cards do not perform well in android devices, including the HD2. It has to do with some of the access times the cards are rated at.
I have tested a 32gb patriot class 10 card in the HD2 and samsung vibrant that made both phones freeze and run terribly slow until the card was removed.
Sandisk cards run flawlessly in the HD2 and I have only been using them for the past year, including a 32gb and a 64gb SDXC. The 64gb must be formatted as fat32 inside the phone before it can be used, but the full 64gb is available.

I agree with elesbb. Infact the same thing had happened to me about 4 years ago. What they do it put a memory hack in the SD card fooling it to think there is more memory. I would say if you bought it from ebay contact the seller first and
tell them you think it might be fake and you wish to get a real card asap. If they don't send you one or sound like they may be un-willing to then you should report them. Here's some information found on ebay's site about fake memory cards.
If you bought it from a different online seller you should still contact them about it and say you did some research and believe you recieved a counterfit item. In the link i shared above there are a few examples of how to spot fake cards including some pictures if you go through the links. I've read somewhere that if you have a sandisk and the class rating is in the corner then you more then likly have a counterfit one. Sandisk's class ratings should be centered in the middle of the SD card.
Okay, i've just sent email to him, hopefully he will just re-send me new, (working..?) or give money back!
Hello can you tell me please if this memory card is fine for windows phone 7? thank you very much

will it work?its hard to say.There is a thread for confirmed working sd cards on this forum have a look to see if it is on there but then again all the sd cards on there are not guaranteed to work on yours as other factors may play a part so basicslly some will work for some which dont work for others..its all about trial and error my friend. Stay away from fakes. I have a 8gb sandisk class 2 which dont work for other, you know what i mean.
I just bought a 16gb sandisk today and I'm currently running WP7 tango(HD2O's ROM) It works great.
