i have a blue angel/sprint ppc 6600. almost every other night between the time i go to be and the time i wake up the sd card gets erased all by itself? i wake up in the morning and everything on it is gone? i make sure all the programs are closed when i put it down for the night. i cant figure it out? any ideas?
i have about 6 programs and some files on the 1 gig sandisk sd card. i have replaced the sd card and the problem continues.
thanks.
This worked for me - I don't know if this will work for you
I formatted my 512mb sdcard took it to fat32
I then ran scandisk and defrag on the card - there were lots of errors
after fixing that
I then reran the scandisk and defrag until all the errors were gone
I now back up my SD card every other day to my desktops Hard Drive

Hi all,
I just got a new Sandisk 1GB Mini SD for my Wizard. I put it in my phone and it was recognized immediately. I copied a few files across (my TomTom install and a few maps) and then finished the install. I had to soft-reboot to get TomTom to work - but after rebooting my card doesn't work. When the phone starts up it asks if I want to format the card. I tap yes and it goes away - but doesn't really do anything.
I have taken the Mini SD out of my phone and put it into the card reader that's in my laptop. Windows recognizes that it is a SD card and also prompts to format it - but when I try to format it as FAT or FAT32 it says it can't complete. I have tried doing it through DOS too, but it comes back as saying that there is a bad Track 0 and the card is unusable.
I'm struggling to believe that the card is now poked after just copying some files onto it. I'm hoping that it's just something to do with the file system that has dies somehow. Does anyone know how to reformat the card (either through my phone or Win XP) or how can I resurrect this sucker?
Thanks in advance!
try pocket mechanics
thanks rudegear. I tried pocket mechanics, but it doesn't even recognise the card. I believe that pocket mech will only work if my phone can see the card first. this isn't even happening. the phone obviously knows that there is a card in it, as it says that the expansion slot is in use, but it can't read the card at all. any other ideas?
sounds like you have a fake card. 128mb cards formated to show 1gb, you copy more than 128 they corrupt. this happened to me
okay. I've given up on this card and have sent it back. no more trying to ressurect the dead for me!
has the new card solved the prob? The problem Iam having is almost identical to yours. I purchased a 2gig mini sd card (bn) for my atom. When inserted into my laptop's integrated sd reader, it would recognise a card has been inserted but would not open the card (but the Atom recognised the card).
Thinking I have bought a faulty card, I sent it back to manufacturer. The seller tested and concluded there is nothing wrong with the card but sent me a new one.
I had the same trouble with the new card. Convinced the card was not faulty, I purchased a new card reader.
The firt day i connected the card into the reader. things were SMOOTHE! I was lovn life. The card was read instantaniously and i proceeded to fill the card with a hole heap of goodies (including tomtom).
I used up approx 100mb of stuff that day and ejected the card from reader and inserted in my atom. Data was read with no trouble on pda and pc.
I inserted the sd card back into card reader the following day and now it seems the data originally put on from the first 'contact' is now locked. I cannot delete nor add anything else to the card. Oh and before anyone asks: yes, the lock was and is in the UNLOCK position (i dont even use the lock).
So my next move now is to exchange my card reader with a simpler/single slot. I read somewhere that cardreaders/devices sometimes lock data (dont know how true it is but got no choice).
in summery:
buying an external card reader solved the initial issue of recognizing/reading sd card but created another problem of LOCKING the sd card.
Is anyone else having issues with large sd cards?
I solve the problem by inserting card to Digital Camera that use SD card.
it formatted without error.
Card Reader and other phones does not format it. I think because of file system.
hmm... I will try that. will keep you all posted.
Hi,
(running MCR3.1)
I installed a 16Gb card last night, and everything seemed ok until I got to work today and it appeard Apps to Sd wasn't working.
I used Rom manager to partition the SD card, but the phone will no longer boot with the SD card fitted.
When I remove the SD card the phone works fine.
Anyone got any suggestions, apart from wait till I get home and reformat the card on my PC.
edit....ok, fixed it. took ages, but now working.
Has this happened to anyone?
I am on GB. THe SD basically causes the phone to freeze when i try to access any of the settings. What are my options here? to reformat the card? i looked at the card on a laptop and the contents seemed ok. THe SD card is a sandisk Class 10 32GB card. I haven't installed any new apps for the past couple of weeks so i don't think this is a problem

I`d copy everything off the card to my hard drive , then reinsert the card into the phone and reformat it via the phone software , then let the phone set itself back up with the empty card and see if it works . But...that working around the issue (if it works) , the root cause I`d guess as a corrupted setting on the SD card . For the record , mine sometimes throws a stroppy (every couple of months) and says the card isnt there , the tried and tested turn off/on worked for me .
b/Have you copied any program across to the SD card ? I`d try copying them back to the phone
I've an Samsung evo+ 256GB SD card formatted as internal storage in my HTC 10 for almost 2 years now.
2 months ago I decided to upgrade to a Samsung evo+ 256GB v2, with slightly better speeds. I simply cloned the old SD to the new one.
Everything was always fine, worked great till yesterday.
I had some weird stutters while playing music and then I noticed the UI was also getting stutterish.
Went to bed, charged my phone as I usually do. When I woke up and checked my mail the phone just froze and rebooted.
After reboot the phone told me the SD card was missing
I decided to shut down the phone and examine the SD card but the phone just got stuck shutting down, I had to force reboot and shutdown again.
I tested the SD by a full byte by byte read in Western Digital diagnostic tool for harddrives to see if my SD was broken, but it was fine, no errors.
I popped the SD back in my phone, started and the SD mounted fine, no issues so far.
Could the file system be corrupt? If it is, how do I fix it?
I could try and move the data to an external drive and reformat the SD, I've a USB 3 OTG cable. But I'm not sure how to do that either.
Will Android move the data for me automatically when removing the SD card as internal storage?
Stutters continued today unfortunately, especially when doing a SD benchmark.
I decided to use clonezilla and do a clone of the card to another one to see if that improves anything.
On the old SD I had 72MB/s read and 20MB/s write according to A1 SD bench
Internal storage 225MB/s read and 41MB/s write
On the cloned SD I have 74MB/s read and 19MB/s write
The difference is that the cloned SD is a Samsung evo+ 256GB v1 and the old one a Samsung evo+ 256GB v2
I don't get it though, doing a benchmark on a PC shows 90MB/s read and 80MB/s write.
I advice you to check media files. I had lived same problem. I found solution by chance . I attached sd card to my notebook to backup dcim and music folder. While copying the files, suddenly copy process stopped on a not special file. I removed the sd, re attached and deleted that file before continue to copy. When copying finished, i attached the sd card to phone... Whola... Without formatting or doing nothing extra the card started to work as expected
I bought 32gb sandisk sd card yesterday. It was fine after first partition. But after a while i started to get "broken sd" kart error and the sd card wasn't even on the storage section. After couple of reboots i finally was able to make partition again but the same thing started to happen over and over again. Sometimes there isn't even an error sd card just disappears. And when sd card works properly phone slows down a bit. Like after pressin power button screen won't open for 2-3 secs. What may be the issue here?
Someone said make partition on pc but i lost my card reader. Is there any other way to fix this issue?
