Hi All,
I have had numerous problems with my 2GB card such as files and directories disappearing; files showing up on Windows when I plug my SD card in, but not on the PPC.
Anyone know the cause of these issues? Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? I don't think it's the new high speed format card either. It's a corsair brand.
Thanks

I have the same problem. its a known issue in the trinity. no solution yet.
waiting for a rom to fix that..
I have no problems with files and directories disappearing and I'm using sandisk 2GB mini sd. It seems like sandisk 2gb doesnt have any problems in TomTom either.
Also using a 2GB Sandisk and no problems whatsoever with any rom version.
No problem with my Sandisk 2G MiniSD too!
Sometimes my phone do not detect the card when it was inserted, but no problem when I insert again. It won't "mssing" or lost data as long as it was regonized.
I think it may related to the brand.
my 2gb minisd corsair card became unreadable yesterday and my phone asked to format it. ( after the phone format i only have 1Gb free space. does anyone knows how to format this card with my phone as a 2gb card, because it seems that my phone format it as a 1gb card?
My 2GB sandisk is working OK too. I think make sure the mini sd card is not a high speed one. Mine is x66

Try reformatting with your desktop PC using a card reader.

Which Brand do you have?
I have a Kingston 2GB card, and it works great, except Media Player seems to screw things up. There are about 1GB of songs on it, and when Media Player creates the library, it creates a hidden folder on the card called MSMETADATA. Inside the folder it creates some kind of MediaLibrary file, which appears to get corrupted. When it does, trying to play anything from the storage card's library results in a media player error. But deleting that folder and running an Update Library works fine. Selecting a song to play directly also works.
The first time this happened, I couldn't figure out what was going on, and a hard reset didn't fix it. Sticking the card into my PC's media card reader showed me the hidden folder, since I didn't have "Show All Files" turned on on the device. It's happened a couple of times since then. But now that I know what's going on, it's a quick fix. I think removing the card might be what messes it up.

Well, my Sandisk Ultra 2GB was fine until sometime in last couple of weeks.
Now it does not appear at all desipte multiple reinsertions. Need to but another adaptor before I can test in reader. But nothing changed on Trinity - now new apps installed, card never removed from slot - just vanished (not unrecognised - no prompts to format it - it just isn't there).
Any thoughts?
running Dopod ROM on HTC BTW

Hmmm, very strange, I'm sure you tried soft reset. If it works in card reader, I guess you can copy everyting off of it and reformat it, maybe that will help. All this card disappearing stuff with the Trinity is very strange, it never happended with my 4gb SD in my Prophet in over a year. Mind you, I haven't had any problems with my current 4gb mini SD either but it hasn't been that long yet.
Good luck.

OEM card from MobyMemory.com
standard sandisk 2gb seem very reliable, maybe its the high speed ones that cause problems, i ordered 2gb ultra2 & had major problems, ie not detecting & when did it wanted to format then giving me only 968mb,
my 2gb (standard) sandisk works flawlessly
My HD2 either doesn't discover the storage card, or loses it after just a few moments.
I have tried two different cards (the 2GB supplied and my 8GB microSDHC).
Has anyone had a similar problem?
Any ideas?
Or is my phone defective.... Help!
^2 options
either storage card is defective or phone is defective...
seems like you did a cross change...
try another storage card on HD2 and try your HD2 storage card on another phone.
then you know which one causes this.
Usually 95% of the cases its the storage card thats defective
My 8Gb card works in my Xperia X1 - the card is a Sandisk Micro SD HC. Whereas the card supplied is a 2Gb Sandisk Micro SD.
Not sure what HC is.
I assume the HD2 can take a 8Gb card - but unsure about the difference in the cards.

HC = High Capacity IIRC
The HD2 can take an 8gb card.
The cards don't seem to be faulty (that is assuming that you've tested the 2gb also).
Try a reset/hard boot. I have had this issue before with other phones and that sometimes fixes
indeed SD stands for Secure Digital and HC for High Capacity...
the next generation will be SDXC (with eXtended capacity)...but thats coming 2010 or 2011..
anyway seems like your phone has an issue. Because HTC devices of the last few years are all capable of SDHC memory cards and they support either 16 or 32 GB.
I would make use of my warranty. But before try a hard reset.
Thank you all for the information.
The HD2 doesn't like that 8GB SDHC Card. When in the memory section of the phone, it recognises it, displays it used/free space, then shortly afterwards states no card is installed!
A hard reset, if no luck, I'll return it... fingers crossed.
Crap!
Hard reset didn't work! Why do I always get the duff unit!
I find it strange that it detects the card for a while then loses it...
Sending it back tomorrow for exhange....
thats the only reason I'm not such a big fan of online orders...in warranty cases everything takes a little longer.
but don't be discouraged...worse things happen in life. keep your head up
At least in the UK you are covered by Distance Selling Regulations. Hope you get it sorted soon mate!
Did you try to format your SD card?
I faced a similar situation with Diamond 2 where the SD was faulty until I did a quick format Fat32 and it worked perfectly
faced this issue in my touch hd AND x1. try formatting the card - helped me twice.
Did you install SD tune up? I also had the same problem. I uninstalled SD tune up and reset and storage card was found again. also I installed s2u2 but believe it was the former app that caused the problem.
Ah-haaaaaaaaaaa!
Formating to FAT32 has fixed the problem - thank you all for you help and suggestions.
I also must say thanks to HTC tech guru's too who experimented with various memory cards too.

I had the same problem with my 16 Gig card. I made a backup of the card on my pc, formatted it and inserted in my HD2 and from that moment I had no problem anymore
I have installed the total commander on my sd card and all of a sudden my card stop reading.i restart the system and then got the message to format the card in order to read it. i did but still card was not reading. i inserted the card in my pc but still the card was not reading. i bring my hd2 to factory settings and then also not reading the card. then i again format the card but of no use. any help from anyone.
same here
i got the same problem recently. my 8gb sdhc stopped working. whenever i insert the card in my hd2 it says the card needs to be formatted before use. when format it says formatted successfully but the sdhc does not show anywhere as if there is no memory card in the hd2. computer also does not detect the card. it is the stock 8gb sandisk sdhc supplied by htc. only been using it for 1 week. anyone else has got this problem? do you know what may has caused this? any help will be appreciated. thanks!
Same problem here,
my (HTC supplied) 8gb SanDisk SDHC card stopped working after about 3 weeks use.. I got "do you want to format the card to make it readable.."
Tried different phone (HTC Kaiser), cardreaders on 2 different laptops, winxp/win7/debian/knoppix even canon photocam.. Several restore programs/format programs.. Even tried putting it in the refrigerator over night..
All no luck.. I gave up! (now missing some nice vids from my son..)
sync my SD card almost daily now..

now many user are getting this problem. i don't know if this problem is with micro sd supplied by htc or the phone itself damaging memory card. what is weird is that it seems only the memory card sandisk 8gb supplied by htc seems to be concerned. i just hope after buying another card it does not get damaged too.
HINT
someone told me to put the card in the digital camera and try formatting the card over there. digital cameras have their own format scheme, but i don't have digital camera........its worth trying it...........people called digi gurus told me about that...........
Another card down for htc hd2
I brought a new card 4gb sandisk micro sd. its gone showing me the same message which i was getting it with my 8 gb card "format the card in order to read it" what is the problem is this a problem with the phone or with the card. it is unbelievable that my new card is also showing the same message. what is going on.
I want to know what is the problem, problem with the phone or with the micro sd card.
this is the second card which got damaged......
exact message """" DO YOU WANT TO FORMAT THIS STORAGE CARD TO MAKE IT READABLE? THIS WILL PERMANENTLY DELETE ANY FILES ON THE CARD. PRESSED YES . THIS STORAGE CARD HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY FORMATTED. """
NOW IF WE SEE UNDER SETTINGS SD CARD AND PHONE STORAGE NO SD CARD IS SHOWING OVER THERE.
what is the reason behind it??????????????????
I HAVE JUST TAKEN OUT THE USB FROM THE CHARGER NOT FROM THE COMPUTER AS IT IS CHARGED BY THE USB CABLE.
I am still struggling with the first card warranty from the HTC and now my second card with same message is gone down.

i have a digital camera panasonic dmc-fz28. i did try to format the card with the camera. but this doesn't work. you said you got another card damaged by the phone. i think the problem is with the phone itself then. send the phone to your local dealer for repair and see what they say.
My 1 year old 8GB Sandisk microsd corrupted second time since 2 weeks. It happend after running OPERA 10 installed on SD. My HD2 is running on Energy ROM.

Tried that too.. no luck.. (Canon powershot A430)
Now using an older (got it with my HTC Wizard) sandisk 8gb, working without probs for over a month now.. (backing up a lot though..)
Ok i am having the same issue with my class 10 16GB Kingston. All of a sudden after syncing the memory card failed. The phone recognised another class 2 4GB sandisk and works fine. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PHONE. and one which has set me back £70 (Not good at all) and is something that only seem to have happened since the intorduction of the 1.66 rom for me
I had similar problem but there wasn't any message, once I go to photo album the card won't be read and all programs from card can't be run, finally took out all the videos/photos and now is fine, gotta be some software glitch.
happened to me also..i lost photos that i wasnt able to back up yet..do i need to buy a new sd card then? this is really frustrating :,(
I got the same problem with my 8Gb Sandisk SD card. after that i installed another 8gb card (from my nokia 5800) on my phone & its been a month & working fine. I think it happened to me after I installed firefox's fennec alpha on my sd card.
Maybe it has something to do with the CLASS of mSD.
When I received my HD2 I bought a 16GB SanDisk mSD from Amazon, installed it and worked fine for half a year. Just by chance it was a CLASS 2 as I looked up now beeing very concerned by this thread. Now I bought the 32GB mSD from SanDisk (also CLASS 2), copied the contents from 16GB card to 32 GB card and it works flawless.
Now let´s check: was there any one with a bricked CLASS 2 mSD ? Or only mSDs of higher class bricked ?
If so we have to aks some hardware-specialists here wether a class 4 or higher card gets bricked because of faster data throughput since these cards seem to be bricked PERMANENTLY ? There could be several physical reasons: Voltage, Ampere, Controller etc.
I got a bricked 32GB class 2 Sandisk card. It was fresh out of the box and I got an RMA from Sandisk. Awaiting for replacement.
I thought it was just a faulty card off the production line, since my stock 2GB Sandisk card still works fine. It shouldn't have been the phone, should it?
Need help

I have already lost two micro sd cards one 8gb which I got with the phone and one 4gb which i brought it. Now I am using Nextar card 4gb. it seems to be fine till now, is there any problem with the scan disk cards?
Is this a reliable gadget after all...???

Ok, now I am pissed. My situation is almost identical as yours - including the loss of my son´s new vids and pics... - and I have the HD2 for almost 2 months now.
Suddenly the 8Gb SDHC stock card just stopped working. It came from nowhere. I found it when I tried to watch a video and the player was not showing it. Then I got into file manager and the storage card was missing... after a soft reset, the appaling msg appeared: "Do you want to format this storage card to make it readable? This will permanently delete any files on the card."
What I did recently: installed uZardWebP and MS-NetC3.5 yesterday. But the SDHC access was alright after that.
I am surprised about how many ppl have been at the same situation.
What the heck is going on? Do you guys know if HTC has ever said something about the subject?
If I cannot recover the content of this card, it will be the first and the last HTC unit I will ever get my hands on. Four years using a Sony Ericsson and a Nokia unit with a SD card and no problems whatsoever.
Occurrence could be considered usual if there weren´t so many incidents like mine.
If someone has ANY idea about recovering the card data I would be very grateful. (although I am hopeless after some reading... ...)
Regards!
HTC Leo (HD2) / ROM 1.66.707.1 (76641) WWE / Radio 2.07.51.22_2 / Manila 2.5.19211619.0 - All stock - device´s never been flashed.
I have lost 2 cards. I haven't changed the rom.
Both sandisk I blamed ebay.
Maybe I shouldn't.
Andrew u.k.: Agreed. Maybe you really shouldn't blame ebay.
So far my card recovery was unsuccessful.
At least I won't need to read a lot to learn how to burn a new ROM as long as I won't use this "Card killer" as a serious gadget after all.
most the time a hard reset fixes it...better then loosing valuable sd info over settting up phone again(just happened to me after loading lots of apps on sd didnt read any sd hard reset and its all normal)
I have a problem with SD cards for my one month old P8 Lite.
Two SD cards has stopped working for my phone. Both of them worked fine at first but stopped working after a day's time or so.
The first card was a unbranded 32GB class 10 card. After one or two days it started to behave as if it had been stuck in read only mode. I could open the files already there but I could not modify, delete or add files. It behaved the same way when put into a Windows PC.
I thought I had just bought my SD card too cheap so I bought a 64GB Kingston UHS-I U3 card to be sure the quality was alright. That worked even worse. After less than 24 hours my phone just stopped recognizing the card out of nowhere.
My phone has software version ALE-L21C432B171 and I had moved a lot of files (my music library) to the cards when I mounted them. I would be very happy if someone could help me resolve this issue so that I'm not stuck with my phone's internal memory.
UPDATE: I tried to read the Kingston card with my PC. Same problem as with the phone.
My Yoga Book always says that my SD card is missing and I need to reinstall it. I install it as part of the internal storage, this might be the issue. I have gone through three different brands, Samsung microsd card does not work at all for me. Simply will not read, says it is incompatible. The other two work for about a couple hours but then I will reboot and sudenly it will not read and say it is not inserted, when it is. So frustrating. Also when the microsd card is unreadable, I have the second issue of the Book not coming back on after it sleeps or when the screen times out. To get the screen to come back on I have to take out the microsd card and the screen will come right on, but than says " the is no sd card, please insert." Any one else having this issue? I really want to like this little machine but it seems REALLY underbaked.
I have an idea of what is happening with my cards. I have a very good Samsung microsd but the machine first said "This card is too slow" !!! I set up the microsd card as "internal" storage not media storage. Well, the Book formats the card, uses it but on reboot it looses the card and says the card is either "not in" or, the card is "not compatible". So I try to reformat but the Book will not format it and neither will my PC or any other device. I keep getting that the micro sd card is now "write protected" or "cannot format raw data", so now I have two expensive micro sd cards that are completely useless and I am very very upset. I have one other card I can try to use in the Book and format it as "media" instead of "internal" but Im afraid it might raw format it too and Im stuck. AAARRGGHH. Any ideas on how to re-format these micro sd cards?
Hi! Any update regarding the issue? Would be really glad to know if you have resolved it as I am currently experiencing something similar with my Yoga Book (Windows). I have a 128GB microsd and sometimes it suddenly stops recognising it. I've never had the too slow error though. My card was formatted using NTFS.
Wondering whether the card tray design is bad, and if the card gets displaced when moving around. I'll try another card, and will update this post later.
Android must be formatted to fat32, although the best way is to format it in a Android device like your phone if needed. Not sure about your other issues. Is there an update from Lenovo maybe. My card reader is just fine. #knockonwood

Sadly I ended up buying a new microsd card. My two cards that I started with are still un accessible and useless. I format it to Fat32 and inserted into the YogaBook and designated the card as media. It's been working great ever since. Still annoyed that I am out $100 worth of micro SD cards
Good luck to you. I have the Android version.

Hi! (In my case) I think it was due to the "thickness" or dimensions of the microSD. I had one that was slightly thicker than the original card I was using for the Yoga Book. I swapped them, and haven't had any problem since then. Sorry to hear that you had to shell out another $100. That really sucks. Mine was sheer luck. (Thanks to the added "chunk.")
Hope this bit of info will be useful for other YB owners.
Unfortunately I can confirm that ;/
In my case I observed the same...
I have a model with windows. It's EXTREMELY slow! Generally, no just the SD card. Almost impossible to work on it. Lenovo sucks!
According to the SC slot I've tried many different SD cards and always the same... Time of copying 2GB file, calculated by windows, about 672 hours... Only...
This is my second computer from Lenovo, and the last one.
If you're migrating files, try doing small amounts and copy not cut and paste. Otherwise just take the card out and do it on a more robust pc.

I'm using an SD card and it seems to be running fine. Are you using it for something that needs regular access to your SD card? Like, installing Windows or a program on it? Because that will make transferring to and from the SD card very slow, or at least a lot slower than what it would usually be. The technology in the Yoga Book's SD card slot is old, so it can't handle stressful situations.
Hi, Thanks for your answers,
My main HD has 64GB, its not a lot of, so I thought about changing location of My Documents and all my files on the SD card. But after setting of paths to SD the computer froze due to it couldn't read SD fast enough.
So, I decided to move my personal folders back and tried to move files manually.
But the situation is the same :/
Don't you think that transferring of files on the another computer to SD card has no sens??
It is needed for me to move files from YB to another computer, so while I can't do it than the SD slot and whole Yoga Book is totally useless for me.
Do you think, guys, that it is possible to install Android on it?? There is a possibility to boot from the external USB-CD or just USB, but I couldn't find the Android version for YB.
Maybe with Android it will work??
Did someone of you tried to do it??
Thanks

I did delete Windows 10 and try install Android, however, I was not successful in getting it usable. So right now, Android is a no-go for those who have the Windows 10 version (although, you can install emulators that allow you to run Android apps). I usually try to minimise how many things I have on my Yoga Book - keeping apps to a minimum, and I've got my Downloads and Documents on my SD card and it's fine. Maybe your SD card is an old one?
Believe me, I've tried all possibilities, which came to my head
I bought three different SD cards (actually I have SanDisk Extreme microSDXC UHS-II, 128GB, formated in exFat) and nothing.
I tried also to run linux, and I noticed a small difference in relation to Win10, that in linux the copying process is pending all the time, while Win10 is breaking the process every time and ordering me remove the write protection.
Hi guys,
I found a solution!!!
I don't know why, but I created two 64GB partitions (almost, just 50% and 50%) on the card and formatted as a fat32 and.... Suddenly it works!
Thanks for your attention!
Has anyone tried the 200GB or 265GB micro SD cards yet? google search seems indicate that it might work but not able to get any concrete proof.

Yes, I use a Samsung 256GB micro SD card fine in my YB. Insert it and format it using the YB and it'll format it as FAT32. Only problem with that is I need to convert/compress my larger than 4GB movie files to something smaller.
thanks to PPC_Ed's confirmation, I ordered a 200GB drive and was able to get it working on my Yoga Book Android.

I bought a cheap 512GB sd card on eBay for less than $12 from China. I have stored tons of stuff on it. Downloaded a 1080p movie onto it using the adapter on my laptop and the lap top wanted to fix issues. It did, and everything still is fine. It actually might not be 512gb, but I have more than 200gb on it and it works fine - no speed issues at all. Android still reports 512gb total capacity (499 gb). I couldn't be happier with the $12 spent.
