I am sure this has been posted before, i searched and looked at the topics but nothing helped.
I am running Android 2.2 FRG33 on my hd2 and my rom is ChuckyROM GTX + CHT 1.8.5 - 23128
All of a sudden while running android my phone didn't show my SD card (16 gb sandisk micro sdhc). So i took it out and put it back in. Nothing. I switched to windows with the custom rom, but it was still not being recognized. I tried Hard reset, nothing. I don't have a adapter so i can't connect my sd card to my computer. Also when i plug my phone in i don't have the option to mount as a disk drive
Can anyone help me

Did you tray to format your SD?
I just tried it. The sd card was shown in file explorer but then it disappeared. I formatted the sd card again but it wasn't even shown in the file explorer
Come on guys, can anyone help me please ?
Allthough I don't have any experience with Android, I doubt if that's got anything to do with it.
If you look up the posts about this issue, you might get the impression that the HD2 kills Sandisk cards at one point or another.
It did so with mine. I had no other possiblility then to buy a new one
I didn't buy another Sandisk 'cause I wasn't sure which was the culprit.
I'm sorry that I don't have better news for you.
First, check that other cards work in your phone...
Then, if they do, I suggest buying a MicroSD to USB (like £2) and try formatting it on the PC...

I am hoping someone could answer this question since nobody has never asked before. I bought a Kingston 32GB micro sdhc card. The model number is SD-C02G made in Taiwan. When I popped in the card into the tablet, it says the card is damaged, formatting is needed. I tried to click on the format button and nothing happened. But, when I test the card on other devices (cell phone & camera & computer), it had no problems at all. No formatting or anything was needed. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to get this fixed?
I am running vegan tab 5.1.1 by the way.
Thanks a lot!

did you try to format using ur PC in Fat32?
nvm...problem is fixed now. i found out that the memory card was loose probably. Didnt come into full contact with all the pins. Thank you for your reply anyway.
I had the same issue with my new 16 gig card, I let the gtab format it, then rebooted with the card installed, have had no issues for 2 weeks now, card is full of movies and everything works like a champ!
Ok got my sandisk 32GB card from Amazon. I put it in the Gtab but couldn't format the card. Put it on my mac and saw it wasn't formatted at all so I formatted it. No go on the Gtab again... said I need to reformat but the Gtab wouldn't do it. I tried windows to format Fat32 with fast off but kept crashing during format (only showed 27Gb BTW). Searched around and came across windows based program from Panasonic/official micro sd standards site (sdformatter V3). Ran this program selecting all wipe options. The program took 5 days! Successfully finished this morning with correct fat32 so I thought all was well connected to both mac and windows I cant get files to transfer onto the card. I set up a couple media folders but once I start the file transfer it will give me error: improper disk ejection and still show folders. On windows I can get a few files to the card before I get ether "file is corrupt" or I can see that the transfer has stopped and I can see its lost connection between windows and SD card. Did I get a bad card or is there anything I can try here? BTW after that long and painful format Gtab could recognize the SD and I could see the folders I was able to make on the card.
Update:
Now a pop up window for fixing the card has come up on windows once I connected the card reader. I checked the 2 options "Auto fix file system errors" and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" has been running for 10min and progress bar is half way. hope it fix my problem!
kraftweksfit,
The 32 gig cards have worked back to the beginning as far as I have ever heard.
My opinion, but if it were my card I would return it and ask for one that is not defective.
When you get a good one, make sure it is formatted (on your PC) to FAT32. I also
have found the USB port and card slot are not plug and play like Windows. I
always change them while the G-Tablet is off to all it to search and find them on startup.

Thanks for that info. I had to shut everything down as my workday was over so now after those 2 windows fixes ran I'm just getting everything back up now at home. So Ive got multiple 2GB movie files to transfer. I still get the random "explorer is not responding" freeze issue on file transfers though. Should I just keep reformatting the card to see if it will fix the issue? Or give up on it and wipe and send it back?
trojan, I've got a question. have you tried putting more than 2 gb on the card? I can't seem to find a 32 gb version of the SD-C02G. Also have you done any speed tests on it?

That Panasonic tool is a favorite over in headfi-org - I've been using the older version for years and it actually works on a Windows VM. We used to use it on our Cowon D2 to ensure that our SDHC cards were being read properly.
For v2, if you do a quick format it should not take that long.

So you think the card just needs to be reformatted again? If so I'll try the quick option. When that program took so long I thought for sure something was wrong. BTW all references to windows are on VM on my mac as well.
Should I be worried that my Gtab can't format the card? I'm on Vegan 5.1
thanks
UPDATE:So I ran the quick option of SDformat V3 with no problems, was able to transfer one 2GB movie no problem. I went to try to move more files and instantly the progress bar for transfer does not move, "more details" tab shows est. time calculating... so my guess is windows explorer lost connection with the card. also every time I eject the card/reader windows want to fix errors which I've already run so I think this card is dead!
Bad SanDisk is on it way back, after browsing amazon I came across a Kingston 32GB micro sd with adapter class 4 for 39.99 + shipping. I went for the store front offering for 41.99 + 9.98 shipping. Best price I can find for a quality card if anyone is looking for one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QQKI0G
Both my 32gb and 16gb give the following message after applying the 3.5 update. "Removed SD Card".
When I try to connect the TP with my computer I do not get the USB symbol. None of the programs moved to the sd card previously now work.
Please help.
BTW, when I boot into webOs and connect the TP to the computer via usb, all is well.
Hi,
Try this instruction.
When I disconnected the usb cable before i rebooted to CM7, it did not work. When I kept the usb cable connected for the reboot, it works fine for about 10 seconds and then once again says the the SD card is removed.
Running into this exact same issue.
I recently decided to move a majority of my apps (mostly games and larger files) to "SD Card" and am not sure if that is the cause for all of this. When I attempt to move the apps back to the "phone" I'm told that the apps can no longer be located (like they are stuck in some type of purgatory).
Any other suggestions besides that tutorial?

Out of curiosity, where did you find this?
Hi, I usually dont write, but I read a lot here.
about 2 weeks ago i bought my S3, and everything was great. about 2 days ago I bought a 32GB MicroSD card (Sandisk Ultra Mobile CL10)
and put it into the phone, when I try to connect it to the computer via the USB cable, the transfer rate is extremely slow!!!
It usually just freeze about the middle and just pop-out a message that "The File could not be copied", and its the same to every file I try (regardless the type/size etc).
the strange thing is that it does the same to the internal memory!
if I take out the the MicroSD and put it into a card-reader and into a the computer it works great and transfer rate is about 20Mb/s!
is there anything I can/should do?
I know that on my old Motorola I could plug it into the computer and the SD card was shown as a "Removable Disk" and I could just copy and paste, and the S3 is either shown by a Camera or a media device... is there a way to make it as a Removable Disk?
I'm with a stock rom is that's matter.
hope I could get your help.
Thanks.

Sound like a problem i had when i got my 32gb card. for me it turned out that i had to change the usb port as the one i was using decided to be a usb1.0 port, changed port, installed drivers for a different port and it fixed my issue, dunno if it will work for you but worth a try.
also try formatting your card.

I just tried on another computer, the problem didn't occur but the transfer rate is still VERY slow...
I format the card within the phone and when I looked on the properties of the MicroSD card, under File System is written "generic hierarchical" - is that normal? is there anyway i could format it to NTFS or even FAT32? the phone will still recogsize it if i do?

Thats what mine says too, not sure which format it uses by default.
I have heard that you can format to ntfs or fat32, but i havent tried it, too scared to damage it and loose 32gb from my phone accidently, lol (ive done this before. ) but search and see.
Hi everyone,
after 1 year expericing with evo 3d everything is ok,
but in the last month some problems are killing me.
1- when i put the usb connection to download image, after i get sd error and cant see any images from gallery. (files are visible with android assistan, visible after rebooting, tried different cables, different sd, the system doesnt sees anymore images of applications, maybe some refresh problem?)
2- when i turn off the screen and connected to wifi or datamobile, both turn off till i turn on the screen, its a very annoying problem...
3- also the music application cant find my mp3 folder with music.
4- when i open gmail at first it says "no data connection", even if i'm connected, and clicking refresh works. (but i have to click everytime!!!,,,,
5- today i got also a strange grey icon of the battery with an ? on it, first time ever seen it.
other miscellanea information:
the phone is all original, i'm using apex launcher instead of sense, there is a lot of free space on sd, the phone never fell on the floor, nor in the water. camera is working great and all other function, no lag in applications,,
i hope some of you great xda master can help me finding a solution,
thanks to all.

ps. does exist an application that cancel all unused application files in the sdcard? thanks again.
1 and 3 sound like a bad sd card or card reader in the phone. The rest sound like an OS bug, which a factory reset should hopefully clear up.

What do you mean "cancel?"
thanks for the answer,
i guess is the sd card, il try a factory reset. the new sd card that caused problem is a samsung 16 gb cas 6, i thoght it was good.
i mean wipe the garbage, like all those files left behind from applications uninstalled and no longer used.
thanks again.

Well, normally when you connect the USB cable and choose to connect the USB storage then the SD card becomes unavailable to the phone but the computer can then access it. Both the computer and the phone cannot access the SD card at the same time... I will spare you the technical reasons but you should know that this is normal. After you are done copying files with the computer then you must turn off this USB storage mode so the phone can access the SD card again and then it will see all your music and pictures again (all these are stored on your card by default).
This should all be fixed OK by a reboot of the phone though in any case. Are you sure you rebooted the phone completely? maybe you should try to remove the battery once?
If you've done all that then you can try to repair the SD card by taking it out of the phone and using micro sd to SDHC adapter and inserting it directly into a computer then using windows to run a chkdsk on it.
hi,
i've done all you said properly, you know the problem came out because there was a differente behavior than in the past.
i remove securely the phone from pc and then is not accessible,
i didn't tried to chdsk the sdcard i'll try, but it sounded strange to me because its brand new.
i also tried to contact htc , they said " try to reboot, or try to remove the battery and the sd and start the phone again, the problem wasnt gone.
thanks for the advice.

Well if it's just gotten corrupted then you can just reformat the sd card. You'll want to backup all your data first so if you can't do that from the USB connection to the PC then you'll need to insert it directly into a pc. Once you've formatted it you can put your backed up data back on the card and put it back in the phone and after a while it will find your mp3s again. If it's truly a bad sd card then the reformat won't help.
Do you have another sdcard? The one that came with the phone or any other? Try putting some mp3s and photos on it and then put that in your phone. If your phone recognizes the photos and mp3s then maybe your current sdcard is the problem. And can you tell the the format of your sdcard? Is it NTFS or exFAT or FAT32? If it is UHS-1 card there is a good chance that it is in exFAT. To make it work on Evo 3d, convert it to FAT32 .

Hello friends and happy New Year ,
I have problem and I need some assistance, if it is possible (of course ).
I have bought an Kingston UHS 3 Micro SD Card and mounted it as a Internal storage device on my Nokia 5 (Android 7.1.2) unrooted phone. The thing is as I downloaded a cache file from the Google play store, my phone froze so i turned it off, and after turning it on again, it said that my card is corrupted, and that I should try formatting it, which is, you guessed it - not possible. I got a nice message from android which goes something like this : "common 7 volume partition disk 179,64 public failed with null". So I took my card reader, placed it in my PC USB port and nothing happened. My PC doesn't recognize anything, so i went to Disk Managment, and i can see it there, but it doesn't have a "Volume Letter", so I tried giving it one, without success. DISKPART doesn't work, Mini Tool Partition Wizard just freezes, EaseUS also. To be honest, I don't care for files on my card, because it didn't had any , I just want to make it work. So if anyone has any suggestions, it would be appreciated.
P.S. I think that the card is now in "read - only" mode.
Thank you.
