So, still no word on how to format MicroSD?

Really disappointed. I need to use it in another phone and can't believe I can't format it.
Hopefully Newegg will exchange it.

Would a MetroPCS Samsung Code work? It has Windows 6.5 and I'm 99% sure has a MicroSD spot.

Not all WM devices can do it. Tilt is probably an anormally. My HTC Pure can't format it.

I'd give it a shot. You really aren't risking anything other than a little time getting it set up to test.

Same here!!! It ended up not working and I exchanged my Focus for a Captivate.
WOW. I'm speechless.
Once I rooted and put a custom ROM on my Captivate it seriously OWNED the Focus.
And I had to send my SD card in to Newegg for a replacement. WP7 is a failure.

I get a laugh out of comments like this. Another expert predicting the death of an OS. I wasn't aware that I was so blessed to have joined a group with such brilliant market experts. Thanks so much, I'll just dump my Focus now.

Can anyone confirm that the Tilt will successfully format the card? I read that the Tilt 2 won't, but can seem to find anyone who tried the Tilt.

Wasn't able to get my Tilt to even see it. As far as I can tell there's only one person on here who was able to get their Tilt to reformat it, whereas most people (myself included) failed.

I heard the Nokia N8 and the Sony Vivaz will format the card.

Don't know anyone who owns one and a replacement is already on the way. Thanks though.

nvm !

Meh
So it turns out that my Tilt-reformatted card must've been a fluke due to the fact that my 32GB Class 4 Kingston card flaked out on me. While I was able to successfully reformat that card (which worked for a day or two before causing the phone to become unstable), I was not able to do so for a Sandisk 8GB Class 4 card that works perfectly in my colleague's Focus.
As such, I officially retract my previous belief that the Tilt is a viable platform for reformatting microSDHC cards since it clearly isn't capable of formatting "locked" cards.

[Q] Is there a way to back up my SD card?

Okay new here hope this is the right place.
I bought a N2a card on amazon and it works fine. Now I would like to get another nook color for my daughter but hate to spend more money on another ready made card for her's with CM7 on it. Maybe it's my SD card? ( Adata 8 gig not sure maybe doing it wrong.) If I could make a image of the one I bought Sandisk that would be great but I can't find out how to.

Let me get this straight. You were too lazy to make your own card, you bought one already made and now you come to us to see if you can essentially rip off the people that make the N2A card so you don't have to spend any other of your tightfisted dollars? I hardly think so!
Maybe someone on here will forward this to the N2A people in case you were dumb enough to use a screen name that was close enough for them to identify their customer......

You're not ripping anyone off. You purchased the N2A card. Now it's yours, you can do with it as you wish. You're not burning it to sell to someone else. Hey, maybe you want a backup of your card in case the one you have messes up.
You can either use WinImage to back up the whole card and burn the image onto the new one.
Or if you have a mac or linux box, you can use the "dd" command to do essentially the same thing.

You folks are not reading her post. She wants to clone it to use on another Nook Color. That is called piracy. In fact, it is prohibited here in the forums....

Mod time:
So, this post was brought to my attention, and is a very interesting one. At the surface, this act looks as if it is a warez post, but a little background makes me think otherwise (perhaps putting it in a grey area).
The n2a card, is actually little more than CM7 preinstalled on a new(?) SD card. Because CM7 is an open and free project, I do not feel that cloning a purchased card is actually stealing anything... indeed, the same result can be achieved with the user putting CM7 on the card the same way as n2a does it. Additionally, places advised that you really paying for the card, with the convince of having cm7 already on it.
For now, I am leaving this, but will note that tis is pending further review and discussion, and things may change...

I don't think that would be piracy any more than making your own card. N2A doesn't do anything special to their cards. You buy the service off putting Android on the card, that's it. N2A owns nothing on that card.
That being said, it still would probably be easier to follow the directions in this forum and make a new card.

Okay let me set you straight I had a adata card and tried to make one and I failed maybe it was the card brand??????? So no I was not lazy.
Anyways I bought one that the guy said was paying for his time to put the free software on the card that was a sandisk brand. He said he does not own the software. So if this card does fail and or I want to use the free software on another nook I don't see a problem as I paid for the guys time already. Now if I'm wrong I'm sorry.
Thanks for your time,

Ok, I admit I over-reacted in my original post. I've always felt the selling of the N2A card was a bit of a ripoff of all the hard work put into CM7 by the developers, especially since there was never mention of any proceeds going back to support the developers. $34.99 for an 8GB card, $49.99 for a 16GB card and $79.99 for a 32GB card ...... really? Then to see someone buy one card and then simply want to clone it to use in another NC (her daughter's if I recall correctly) just did not seem right. But, I defer to the moderators......

Hi Again,
I agree with you totally on the money being sent to the people that developed the software. I don't have a issue with that part. ( I still don't know why they give it away for free?) If the CM7 people sold the card I would have bought from them. This is not my fault that the N2A ripped those people off. I just felt I didn't want to send N2a anymore money for something I already bought and if software is Free didn't think that was wrong. I was not going to do this to make money like them. I just need a backup for use in another one or maybe in case this one messes up somehow. I tried making my own at first but with blue dots and other items I got so confused what to do and didn't want to mess my new refurb CN up. Maybe after my chemo treatment effects subside I will feel better and can try again with a sandisk card this time. I would also like the moderators to just please delete all these posts.
Thanks
Lori

I think any number of people have tried with the instructions here and failed to make a usable card. Why? I don't know. Maybe it's because of the plethora of conflicting instructions. Maybe it's the links to outdated software, or dead links. Maybe it's just the "simply do this, then this, then download this that may not work with your OS, so you might have to do this, then be sure to hold the buttons down just this length of time," and so on, but I tried twice and gave up.
So, I bought an N2A card, inserted it, and my NC booted up immediately and it all worked. That's certainly worth something. I now have the fairly nifty Android tablet running Jelly Bean that I had hoped to have almost a year ago, and despaired of every successfully setting up. I don't think the payment to N2A was out of line, considering the time I had spent trying to do the same thing.
I'm not sure I'd pay them for a second card, if the first one died and I had a backup.

"Possible" SIM MOD

Ok First Off I will State These Things First To Get it Out of The Way.
Q&A:
In No Special Order
Q: What Kind Of Mod Is This?
A: A Physical Mod Of The Hardware & Or Software.
Q: Will I Need To Take Apart My A500 To Do This?
A: Yes And You Will Likely Void All Warranties With Acer By doing so.
Q: Will This Void Repair Coverage With Acer?
A: Yes See Above.
Q: Have You Tested This Mod?
A: No But Theoretically It Should Work.
-------------------WARNING----------------------------
By Attempting to Do This MOD In Its Current "State" State Meaning "Not Tested" You Agree To Hold Only Yourself Liable And No One Else "Not Poster Of This Or Anyone Of The XDA Community" If Damage Occurs To Your Device.
------------------SUB_WARNING-----------------------
Currently This MOD Is Experimental And Just A Idea That Should Be Do-able Regardless.
P.S. If You Would Like To Help By Testing This Out And Are Some-What Comfortable Disassembling Your Device And Know How To Solider To Chip Boards, Mother Boards, Etc. Please PM Me With A Request And Ill Give You Some Extra instructions Beyond Anything Here.
(W.I.P.)What You Will Need So far (W.I.P.)
ACER IconiaTab Model A500
A Cheap Prepaid Cell Phone With A SIM Slot in it
Solider
Tools To Take Apart Both the A500 And Cell Phone
A way to Take The SIM reader Out Of the Cell Phone
-----------------
What You will generally Be Doing is Taking the SIM Reader From The Cell Phone and Attaching it To SIM Reader Spot On The A500 Board.
ATM I Dont Have Enough Info To Provide Step by Step or Detailed instructions on How To Do This But It Should Work If Anyone Figures This Out.
Any input comments Suggestions are welcome

sweet! Can we also solder in an fm/am radio?

I believe you are going to need more than just a sim reader, like a 3g radio/modem. If you search on here, somebody has already converted their a500 to an a501 by installing a 3g modem and sim card reader in his 500.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396156

are you serious
This has been discussed several times.as this would be awesome if it could be pulled off.
With that said there is more to a similar card capability then just the slot.There are many required support hardware chips.not to mention the support software.But I will not mention there is no connector where the micro card slot goes.and no card.
So sell your a 500 and buy a a501.
Or get a main board from one that has been damaged check eBay.
Sorry to drop the bad news first.

You should have researched even a little bit before you came to this, it's like you didn't even try: it's mentioned hundreds of times here on forums that A500 does not have 3G modem at all, there are plenty of pictures of it being taken apart and you obviously could've checked your own A500, too.

If you'd read the thing you'd notice that he can't get it to work.

I have a hard time taking this seriously, and but for s&g could you post some of your more detailed instructions?
PS who wants the cost of an extra data plan? I'd rather be tethering my phone anyway.

Cheaper and less work to buy an a501

Why so Serious? (Heath Ledger, God rest his soul)
So, don't take it badly, they were just having a little fun.
In actuality, it has been thought of several times before. A novel idea, true in sense, but way too much trouble and cost.
But, I have an a501, so it is all moot.

storage expansion mod?

Hey guys, has anyone worked out a way to expand the N4 storage? I got the 8GB and I never expected to get into mobile gaming so much (with my new game klip) so all the GTA's, max payne, ps1 roms etc take up far too much space, and I was wondering if there was a solution.
I've seen the one that plugs into the bottom of the phone but there is no retail version of this, I'm quite tech savvy so if there was a way to open the nexus and replace the storage I'd be up for that.

If it were not for the fact the N4 cannot supply power for OTG devices, you can use things such as this
To actually get it (or any external storage) you would need some sort of power supply, so more cables.

You could do a 8 > 16gb conversion. It'll cost quite a lot though.

Think of it from a business stand point. You could take in a second hand unit, but you'd have to sell it with a second hand rate. If you buy back the unit for a cheaper price, the consumer would be unhappy.
It's just not happening. I highly doubt it.

Hi google, My N4 is broken within warranty, you will likely have to replace or repair it. the consumer will get a brand new replacement of the 8gb version but is offering to pay the difference for a 16gb version (profit).
Makes sense to me? they're making money.

What I understood is the memory card is behaving as read only which means adding files to it acts normally but after a short while its back to the same condition before adding them and if that's true please confirm it

Well, sorry to tell you but you have a faulty card only thing you can do is backing up your files and tell sandisk they will either tell you to send it and they will send a new one back or to break it and shoot a picture for it to proof honesty in both ways they will send a new one this issue happened to me twice last time they said they fixed the producing line which had this issue with both 32gb and 64gigs and i must say the last one (same packaging as the new 128gb card) worked so far so great the last 2 didnt continue for more than 2 months anyway they will replace it isA

Well, sorry to tell you but you have a faulty card only thing you can do is backing up your files and tell sandisk they will either tell you to send it and they will send a new one back or to break it and shoot a picture for it to proof honesty in both ways they will send a new one this issue happened to me twice last time they said they fixed the producing line which had this issue with both 32gb and 64gigs and i must say the last one (same packaging as the new 128gb card) worked so far so great the last 2 didnt continue for more than 2 months anyway they will replace it isA

maybe he did but anyway they going to ask for the serial number behind the card which is a pain in the ass to read but in case he read it right xD they going to know for sure if it's genuine or not but so you know sandisk on launch of the 32 and 64gb sdxc specially ultra and extreme there was a "read-only trigger" so they call it was sth of a card lock in case the card was going to damage like a fuse xd so that trigger in those cards go for some cases now the cards which triggered was like 98% of the cards… so yea they removed the idea and just made it harder to corrupt or something i don't really know what they did after but as i know..it work like a charm after that

No he didn't buy a fake Sandisk card. Usually Sandisk cards love doing this when it detects a hardware flaw in which it enters a state of read-only mode.
My 64GB UHS-1 Class10 decided to die on me that day, I transferred a ROM file over into my microSD, then when I rebooted the file wasn't there. As well as trying to reboot my phone after deleting 42gb of data, the data still remained, even though Windows explorer told me that it was deleting with fluctuating I/O speeds. Sandisk did a good job in failproofing this device so that when it malfunctions you can still grab your old data.

I actually could refund mine, but I've used mine for over a year. I bought a Samsung replacement which reads files much faster.
OP you should give those a try.

yep that's the trigger going and device to read-only state of mind xd which is brilliant and fail itself because it is going in so much conditions some of them if the file state is changing for some time which means in some cases downloading xD anyway i knew that after 2 cards which was my trigger
