If the file manager really does a MOVE it is supposed to be like a sec. But some file managers do a COPY and then delete the old stuff. 5 minutes in that COPY scenario is not the worst speed possible, but is nothing to write home about.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I was on PC. I was using PC file Explorer to move files on this SD card when the phone connect to PC

Try using a card reader and plugging directly into pc instead.

That explains a lot - over MTP move IS implemented as copy+delete.

People have been replacing their microSD cards not knowing that the problem is actually in the files and folders..
Ok here it is!
When i scroll through the hTC Sense tabs to music or photos, the applications try to load the thumbs from the Phone/microSD, that's when it suddenly freezes then the microSD vanishes..
I inserted the microSD into my PC and browsed the drive in "Thumbnail view" and guess what happened, it froze.. I figured since the idea was the same in hTC Sense when it tries to load any thumbs..
So i went to the microSD drive again and chose "detailed view" then went into each folder and changed to "thumbnail view" until i found two folders that kept freezing; "Program Files" and "My Music"..
In Program files the only folder that couldn't be deleted definitely had files that were behind the issue.. There was a music album too that froze, i deleted that too...
I backed up my files and formatted the microSD, i had to, because the folders behind the microSD disappearance cannot be deleted even with an "Unlocker"..
So far i'm playing around with my Leo and nothing is happening..
So by viewing the folders on the PC using Thumbnail view, you'll be able to identify the file or folder behind this annoying issue..
I had the same issue
I have (had) Sandisk microSD 16GB card. It was last week that it happened to me. Only backup of good files and re-formatting the card helped.
Today, I was copying 700MB file and suddenly it told me - cant write on a disk. I disconnected cable from the PC, rebooted Leo and SD card was no more present.
I put it into a card reader, tried to format it, but nothing is working. SD card is probably faulty.
So be aware, that that problem might be a first sign before your SD will break.
I think the fault is from some files somewhere in the microSD.. After going through the method i mentioned earlier, up until now my card is fine..

yup right, but be aware. I dont think that normal SD card should perform like that. I am using stock 2GB SD now, and it is ok!

My 16GB microSD is Sandisk and its 100% compatible with this device.. The Leo is doing something when loading the files creating some system files i suppose..

guess what? windows could not load sandisk microSD 16GB and I was already preparing to return it to e-shop, but I tried live cd of ubuntu 9.10.
It can read the card, it formatted it and it is working again! :-D

That's great, so you didn't have to replace it?
But strange, i've always been using the 16GB with my HD and now HD2.. The issue just occurred a week ago..
A day has passed and everything seems fine..
I hope it stays that way..
ok
I got exactly the same problem with my 16G Sandiskin and HD
and found that the problem was a damaged file in my SD
connect your SD to your computer throw card reader, using total commander or whatever, begin coping all SD files and directory to your hard disk, until get a message can't copy "file name", this will be the damage file, unmount the SD and mount it again and delete this file and your SD will be ok
ps: may be you have more than one damage file, try the this method until you can copy all SD files to your hard drive
When you have a write or read problem with a particular file, it usually points to more than just a corrupt file. In my experience with 4 16GB Sandisk microSD, it is the beginning of a failing card. The safest bet is to copy out the good files, reformat in your HD2 and copy the files back. But if it happens too often, it may be time to invest in a new card as your data is of primary concern.
The strange thing is that this usually occurs with the bigger cards, 8GB and 16GB. I never had this issue in the past with smaller cards.
I back up my card weekly or when I have updated large number of files just to be sure I have a valid set in my PC in case the card fails.

I know what you are talking about. Low format may help. I had the same issue with 2GB SD card 3 years ago (had to recover SD card to save few photos) and also on my DLSR with 4GB CF Card (linux helped to read the card). I don´t think it can be damaged so quickly as normal PC HDD, but when it happens often (damaged files on card), it may be a sign of something wrong with the card.
Unfortunately it happened again.. After a month of having everything under control i got the same problem.. The great news is I'm using windows 7 on my PC and when i plug my microSD card via usb reader, i get a choice of scanning and fixing the removable disk...
Now i'm happy without those annoying corrupted files..
Using the phones file explorer. I moved it to the system 16g (took a while), then put in my 8 gig and moved it to the root of the sd card.....
Ive just heard people not able to and dont know if anyone else got it...
If so mods Please delete... I tried searching but its being wack.
I used Ubuntu to copy it from the 2gb card to my 4gb card and I can still play the movie on mine, no problem.
I moved it to an 8gb card with windows. just copy it on to a pc then the destination card
Yea, it works fine to move it around. Just make sure to move the whole "Movie" folder if you want the shortcut to keep working.

Exactly!....
I have bought a 16GB SD card for my Xperia X8, as is the maximum which it supports, by what SE says.
Since yesterday I am experiencing some crazyness transfering my MP3 files to it.
First I transfered about 6GB of MP3 files to it. Windows shows the file on the SD Card, when I unplug the USB, it recognizes only 2GB of files there, File Explorer and Music Player only shows these 2gb of files (from letter A to H, for example).
Plugged into a Macbook of a friend, it really shows until this H folder. OK, maybe some transfer failure. Second time, transfered from another PC, same issue.
At the third time, I transferred the files from a Linux machine. After almost an hour copying, I unplugged the phone, and the folder was TOTALLY EMPTY. 0 files, nothing transfered. Just created the folder without nothing on it. Music Player shows 0 files, File Explorer shows 0 files... Then I plugged into the PC again... and the folder was empty!
I am using MiniCM. Is there any issue related to this ROM about SD Cards? I don`t have any other device to test.

When you finish transferring files, make sure you eject the memory card on your PC before you disconect your USB from phone, this can cause problems on custom roms if you don't eject drive on computer first. Happened to me a few times.

I am always ejecting.
Tried to transfer now from the Macbook. Same stuff, transfered everything, when the phone mounts the SD card, it "deletes" the rest, keeping only the first 1.79gb, alphabetically.
Try that put your sd into cardreader, and copy files, than put back into the mobile. If it works, the card is ok. If it isn't, format the sd card.
Best regards

Strange indeed, I'm using 16gb sandisk SD and only get problems like this if I don't eject device before I remove USB cable.. Have you tried putting the files on using a card reader and then putting it back into your phone?

Well, I don't have a microSD card reader. I'm transferring to my brother's Samsung I6220 (surprisingly, much more faster on file transfer than Xperia, even having a lower hardware and the weird system). Will update this post when done, after putting the card back on my X8.
Updating: Used the same card on a Samsung I6220. Transferred the same music files, 5GB total. All files recognized on Samsung phone.
When put the card again on X8, almost everything was deleted, only 1GB of files there.

Then it should be the ROM. Have you tried a Factory Reset?
After copying everything again to the Samsung, the same issue. Seems like the problem is the card. Everything beyond 2GB is deleted.
Thanks for your help, guys. Thread closed.
...well, 1 time I connect my phone to my pc,
then for some reason I dissconnect it and download a file on sd card... I connect it again 3-4 times but I couldnt see the file (hidden files were displayed). Back in my phone the file was there.

Welcome aboard matey, Mine came with a 16gb sd card but I have a 32GB class 10 card in my Play.
Highly recommended, the faster speed seemed to have sped up my games also as they were getting a bit jittery when I had the stock 16gb class 4 sdcard in my phone.
If you have a Mac, you can try Carbon Copy Cloner, it's free and it's awesome for cloning an entire disk (or SD card, in this case) to another one. I used it when I got a new SD card for my Play
I also use it to backup my SD card to an image file on my computer every week. Yay!

Go into your SD through windows, select all, copy to a folder. Put in the new card, select all, copy the contents over. Done.
thanks guys...
Hi all,
bought a samsung micro sdxc card from amazon... its the 64gb class 10 version here http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009HPFUGI/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 received it and put loaded all the files from my 32gb card onto it and put it in my phone... all of a sudden the folders are all reading as empty and my card has 55gb on it (there was one file not in a folder that was read for some reason)... so put it in my laptop to see why they are empty or if they are and it turns out that a bunch of folders and files now had the u in place of the first letter of the folder/file name eg uovies, uooks, uusic etc... so I formatted the card using the phone and tried again... same thing... sigh... so formatted the card on laptop and tried again and this time only about half the folders appeared empty... soooo replaced the folders that were not being read and tried again this time more folders reading as empty... so I the replaced every folder individually and that took a while, checking every single time that the all the files had transferred into the new sdxc card... success... all files were there and so I put the card into my damn phone and ffs only the single file not in a folder was being read again... sigh...
to compound it sometimes the phone would say the card was damaged but I would mount it and it would read it was there fine... just nothing in the folders... I have read there are problems with these things and just wondering if anyone has found a fix yet... looking at returning it to amazon if I can not figure it out...
You could try changing the file system type, so for example if you're using fat32 you could try to format it in exFAT.
Sounds like a bad card or bad phone
For what it's worth, I've found out that the Samsung galaxy S4 will format your card to fat32. fat32 will only support files less than 4gig. The phone it's self will only support files in that range as well. Found that out after trying to share a few MKV type movies over 4 gig with some fellow S4 owners. Also the 64gig cards are defaulted to exfat, so no need to format. When I transferred my files from my exfat 32 gig card to my 64 gig card, all I did was copy all the folders to my computer and dragged them over to my new 64gig card and was easy as pie.

formatted it via phone and laptop... in the end I put folder by folder on the card and tried to see if it still worked... was going well till I got to a certain number of folders then the phone kept telling me that the card was damaged... getting a replacement from amazon now and will see how that goes... btw I dont have any files near 4gb... just loads of smaller files...
from my experience with 32 GB and 64 GB, both are corrupted regardless of they genuine or not.
i suggest you to go to 16 GB
