Hi,
I have bought a 32GB micro sd card from Sandisk, recently. Before I had a 16GB from Sandisk. With the new card I suddenly have a battery consumption in standby from 15 to 20% over night. Before 3-5%. I thought it must be something wrong with the card. I ordered a 32GB card from Transcend - and it´s the same behavior.
So, what is this?? It seems that with 16GB all is fine and with 32...
There are no active programs, no data connection and nothing installed on the card. I have formatted the card again in the device - nothing changing.
Put the card in your computer, copy all the contents off it, format it and copy them all back on. Don't format the card in the phone.
I had same problem with a Sandisk 32GB which was bought from a reputable reseller. Tried everything and in the end gave up and now live with a 16GB just fine.
Strange ........ I am now with Sandisk 32gb for 4 month and absolutely nothing changed in batt drainage ...... 5% overnight with all caches possible moved to sd.
Maybe depends on interval wm has to write to storage card ? email-att., update files? meaning that batt consumption is higher for each read-write cycle ?
This is what I have tried first: Copy all my stuff on the card and put it in the phone. Later I have formatted it in the PC - copy all stuff - put it in the phone.
At the end I have formatted it in the phone, without copy anything on it.
No change, the same behavior, whatever I have tried.

This would be logical, when there is something to write on the card. But I put the blank formatted card in the phone! No apps installed on it, no e-mail, etc. Closed all apps and no data connection, wlan, bluetooth, etc. Pure standby!
Now I am happy with ROM 3.14!
I have updated to ROM 3.14 and now it´s working! Power consumption for both cards 16 and 32gb is equal now. Seemingly it was a malfunktion in the 1.48 ROM in conjunction with 32gb cards.

i think the problem is that you have not installed the sd card hotfix from htc on your 1.48 rom...which is usually included in next versions of rom
"Update for HTC HD2 SD Card Storage Cards
This update for HTC HD2 allows the HD2 to properly read the amount of free space on a storage card, so you can take as many photos or videos as possible. It also enhances support for some sizes of storage cards."

Should not be the problem, because I had ALL updates installed on the 1.48 ROM.
I purchased a 32GB micro SD card for my HD2 after my 16GB card died last week. A sad day indeed, but an ideal time to upgrade
I've read a lot of threads on the forum about some people having issues with 32GB cards, and fake cards. This has prompted me to run H2testw, and also try formatting using SDformatterv3.
HD2testw - Verified as OK.
SDformatterv3 - Completes OK.
Now, when I add the newly formatted card to my phone, it mounts, and works fine. No problems at all. I then start to fill up the card with music. I firstly copied about 5GB to the card, and again I had no problems. The card works fine in the phone. I then copied another 10GB to the card. However now I have a problem. With the SD card in the phone, the phone hangs. When the phone is in standby, I press the power button and I get a black screen. If I remove the SD card then it starts to work correctly again.
So, my first thought was, duff card. So, running the programs above verified that the card is OK.
So, I am now wondering if the phone actually supports 32GB correctly (IE, when more than 16GB of data is on the card). I also thought that perhaps the ROM I am using is the problem.
I am running [CWR] BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA_GINGER 2.3.4-Sense.s V25 (24.May) ROM. I see that V35 is the most up to date rom, so perhaps I will need to reflash my phone. I will be testing this later today.
Has anybody else found themselves in a similar scenario, and did you find a solution?
Cheers,
I figured it out. Turns out to be a combination of things.
1) MIUI player locking up when trying to scan newly added music
2) Locking up because of some corrupt files
Tracking down the bad files resovled the problem

good to see you solved it, cuz i have a 32 gb class 6 and no problem.
some to notice its that to some ppl a 32 gb class 10 works with some bugs, a class 4 or 6 seems to works better.
PS: if you are a flashaholic like me, you should have partition your sd card with CWM partition option, so you could use some of the beneffits of sd/ext that some ROMs use
So 32 Gb works well with Htc Hd2. But, it depends which company and speed.

That's the thing: I bought brand new 32 GB SanDisk and am using MIUI JB. Constantly upgrading with their daily build to new versions to no avail.
Problem: I filled card with my files to listen. Initially it works alright, after some time however I find some folders are gone, some files are gone, things just dissapear from the card.
Now I wonder is it a card, is it a MIUI JB or is it HD2 that got broken after my intensive use. Some electronics burnt down or something.
Does anybody had this issues : combination of HD2 with MIUI JB on 32GB card (NAND or SD - both). Keeps losing files in very consistent manner.
I also checked the card with different software and formatted it many times and re partitioned.
As an experiment I am trying now old 8GB card to make sure if its card or not.
Hi all i'm fairly new to the xda forums but I just recently had a strange occurrence happen on my S4 that I was hoping someone could help me resolve or at the very least explain it to me.
Ok well I have the sprint galaxy s4 with a 32 gb external SD card if i'm not mistaken. Well I enjoy downloading videos and files to my phone instead of using the internet to watch them because I get bad service where I work. So it's much more convenient to just download them beforehand and watch with no buffering.
Well after awhile of doing this I downloaded androzip file manager so i could rearrange my files so I knew exactly what was on my phone. Well as of yesterday my total space on my device was 16GB and my available space was around 7.2gb. My SD card as i said was about 32 or so and my available space was around 14 to 15GB.
Well I went to try to download a 4 and a half long video in high quality and it all of a sudden said that my memory was full. As far as i knw this video was about 4 gb or so...which should have fit on my device or SD card. Well after finding this unfinished download then deleting it I decided to try to free up some space on my phone to hopefully have more room. Well I googled it and alot of people said an app called SHREDroid was the way to go and that it would completely erase files that I had previously deleted so it wouldnt take up unnecessary space on my phone. Well i used it on my internal and external memory and now my storage looks really funny. My available space on my device is somewhat normal at 7.82 GB. But my SD card is just strange. I havent downloaded anything else and it went from that 14 or 15 GB down to 2.82GB.
How in the world could this have happened. I have nothing new in my external card as far as i know. Can anyone please help me with this?
Sorry for the long post i just wanted to be clear and concise. Please feel free to tell me any details i may have left out
Thanks everyone!
Lots of reports of bad SD cards, so that's a real possibility here.
But what I'd do is backup everything on the SD card to a PC. Then I'd format the SD card (Settings>More>Storage - Scroll to the bottom). Then copy everything back onto the card from the PC and see if that fixes it.
Is your sd card formatted to FAT 32?

Issue: SD Card disappears randomly (formatted as internal storage!!!)
Bootloader never unlocked, never rooted.
I have a sandisk 32gb micro sd card that works when I first start the phone. The problem is that it will randomly, completely, disappear.
Now I'm not, IMO, a complete noob. I am fairly (99%) sure it is indeed the sd card at fault. Ok, not an issue, I can always replace it with a new one.
The issue is, of course, that EVERYTHING is on my SD card, most importantly, my photos.
Even without accessing a file manager (phone idle, browsing web, playing games) the sd card will eventually fail leaving it inaccessible until the phone is restarted. When attempting to access my photos, which is what I need most, it fails MUCH quicker.
Having not used the "Google Photos" app before (just Gallery), I am not at all sure if my photos were ever backed up online, If they were, I'm not sure where to look.
Trying to access them via usb, wifi file transfer, bt tranfer, and even from file managers on the phone itself, result in an almost immediate failure of the sd card. 5 seconds or so tops.
The card is formatted as "Internal Storage" and I have not been able to find a way to get a computer or anything else to read it, and I would imagine for security reasons, there is no way.
Here's the question: Is there any way to get photos off the sd card, that wont take me three million years in 5 second intervals, while having to restart the phone every bleeping time the sd card fails to get it to recognize the sd card again?
Suggestions please!
Thanks in advance,

Format the card using computer (Not quick format )
Quick format didn't worked for me.
And don't make card as internal, use it as portable
with the sd card in the phone, go to settings - apps, show system apps. then select External Storage, force stop it or clear it cache. do the same to Media Storage. reboot the phone, once everything loaded wait for 5-10 minutes especially if you have lots of files in a large sd card. once that done, connect the phone to your pc (use mtp if i'm not mistaken) and hopefully you can now access the internal (sd card) contents.

This will HOPEFULLY resolve the issue AFTER I get my photos off the card!
What I need help with is getting roughly 10 gigs of data off a card that works intermittently for roughly 5 seconds at a time....

I will try this and report back.
One question... If the card is formatted as internal storage, clearing data for external storage and media storage will not cause the phone to "forget" the sd card will it?
Thanks,
Canabian.
I think I have come up with a solution to my own problem. If this works satisfactorily, I will let others know as this may help many other people facing this issue.
I am on a linux pc. I am going to try to use RSYNC to copy the files over. This SHOULD copy files over, deleting them from the source folder as it goes. Once the sd card fails, which it WILL, once I reboot the phone and start rsync once again, it should "resume" where it left off.
Here is the command for anyone else that may need it:
rsync -v --progress --remove-source-files --recursive --append-verify /path/to/source/files /path/to/destination/folder
Hopefully this works the way I hope it will. Will post back with my results when I can.
Thanks again,
Canabian.
I had the same problem, and the solution (that maybe someone posted somewhere in the internet) is using a faster SD card. Since I switched to a sandisk extreme pro, the problem disappeared. Be careful, though, when using Samsung SD cards: my moto x play doesn't like them much (I had to replace them twice before buying the sandisk; in some way the partition tables of the Samsung SD cards were damaged, plus they became read-only, resulting in two unusable cards).

which samsung model did you use? I just replaced my normal class 10 strontium card yesterday with a brand new samsung evo plus u1 card and formatted it as internal storage. so far the phone feels a bit snappy with this card.
dude search a little in this section and i hope u find the fix.i just let u know that our device has very sensitive sd pins and many users had accidentally bented them and didn't know the problem!
i hope u are not one of them!so if you are lucky,next time u put the sd be veeeery careful!i personally didn't put it out from the time i bought it...

It was just a Samsung Evo class 10. The strange thing is that I tried also a Sandisk of the same class, which gave me only the "external memory missing" problem, while the Samsung ones became just unusable plastic. But maybe I should try better Samsung SD cards.
Good evening.
Spend a few hours trying to see if I can recover my mother's phone files.
Issue:
Yesterday she said she can't see WhatsApp videos or images - new messages weren't loading. Error: Download Failed. The Download was Unable to complete. Please try again later.
She has 64 GB SanDisk SD and it used as adaptive storage. I checked her storage and I saw there was about 3 Gb free space on the phone, however SanDisk had only around 700 MB free.
Today I decided to move all her files to a computer (also she had Google Cloud photo backup, I checked and don't see any new photos or videos in the last few months, I am wondering if some kind of glitch could happen 2 months ago and now was the end of it), and when I connected her phone, it showed only SanDisk, no internal storage (I thought maybe because of adaptive storage it shows like one), but in this case it should've shown around 90 GB and it showed only 60 Gb?
Well I opened SanDisk and it was empty while it still showed that SD is not empty in ThisPC area.
I took the SD card out and plugged it back and some of the folders loaded. I downloaded some of the latest videos, and then found this video:
I did what it says there, however, external storage data system process could not be cleared, it was greyed out. So I just did Multimedia Data and Cache Clear. I also force stopped external storage process (and I think that part is what messed up everything).
Well, when I restarted the phone, all my SD folders looked like encrypted folders, while it still shows almost 60 GB of Data there.
I read online and see that Adaptive Storage is using some encrypted format and my assumption by doing steps above I messed up the encryption.
Question is there any hope to restore these SD files or I can forget about it and count it as a hard lesson of how not to try fixing SD card issues?
Also, I'm kind of upset that Google Cloud backup didn't work as I hoped it would. Any recommendation how to better sync and keep backup of all Data (photo, videos, apps, messages) in the cloud? In Case the phone dies or SD card dies, how I can just clone everything from a Backup?
Attached are photos of what I see now when I connect the phone to the PC.
Could anybody share any suggestions? Anything I could try?
