Cant get 2gb sandisk to work

I've got a 2gb Sandisk microsd and my phone wont recognize it. I'm running Artemis Touch 3.01 WM6 WWE ROM via a Orbit XDA phone. I think it might have to do with formatting the memory card but I've tried to format it via my phone and computer (vis SD slot with adapter) but it always freezes everytime. Anyone got any suggestions before I take it back to the store...maybe there is something I'm doing wrong...

Hi,
in what format did you tried to reformat your MicroSd Card? FAT or FAT32. The legacy (original) SD Card driver only supports FAT. So put the Card into your Computer, right click on it, and check if it is in FAT Format. If you`ve allready done this, then I have no idea what it could be. Maybe the Card itself has some defect, or the pins in your PPCs MicroSd drive are some sort of bended. You might check that as well....

I dont think so. My 1GB card is formatted with FAT32 since the day I bought it. thats 8 months running now. I have also upgraded to WM6 with no problem.
If you can try jabami's suggestion to format with FAT16 then try it again on your PDA. If it doesnt work, try hard resetting your device. If it doesnt work again, maybe time to go back to the shop. Good luck

Hmmm.... well learned something again Didn`t know yet that FAT32 did work with the "old" Drivers. Never tried though....

wont work at all...cant see it (whatever format it already is). it freezes as soon as I touch it...probably defective then I guess..

was able to format it on my buddies laptop...all good now

Probably your card is broken....
Try to insert it in a card reader and see if it recognizes the card....

Yeh will have to wait till I get home not sure my memory card supports SDHC though?

I have a similar problem, and like you I've been happily using an 8gb card for a while, but in the last week it has stopped working correctly.
Occasionally it is fine, but most of the time access to the card is either very slow or it doesn't appear at all.
I've tried the following but with no success:
- Using another MicroSD card (2gb)
- Reading the cards in a card reader and they are fine
- Reinstalling Artemis Touch 4.02 WM6.1
- Formatting the card (FAT32)
- Shimming the MicroSD card with bits of cardboard as I've read there can be a loose fit
- Cleaning the contacts on the card reader
- Pulling the contact pins out a bit to get a better fit
Does anyone have any ideas of anything else to try?

Does WM5torage work?

I did the followings to make my 4GB Micro SD usable by my Artemis:
1-flashed it to FAT32 in my laptop (I Had to format my laptop partition D of my HDD to FAT32 to make the microSD recognizable by my NTFS system).
2-copied the "system folder" from my older 512 MGB card as it is (hidden) to the root of my 4GB
3-The 4GB is readable by my artemis by now.
4-To make sure the crad will be working good in the future, I installed the "Flashcard" Cab in my Artemis and reflashed the card to FAT32, 512 Bytes 4KB clusters.
The card is just fine under Artemis windows, but I gatta take it out when flashing any new ROMs or Radio.
Hope that'd help you.

No - WM5torage behaves the same ... i.e. occasionally works (if the phone can see the card), but most of the time it just reports an error

It is deffothe memory card just put my old 2gb back in the phone and it worked, I have tried the 8gb in my PC card reader and in y camcorder that takes sdhc and neither recognised it.
This explains why my phone started goin so slow it would take ages to do anything then the memory card was unrecognised a few days later.
Im guessing there is no way to repair these?

If you can't read it, you can't do anything...
R.I.P.... :|
Cheers

Gutted oh well

not as gutted as i am ... looks like i'll have to buy a new phone!

Just try to format it by these criteria
FAT32, 512 Bytes 4KB clusters
then let us know.

dude dont panic try to recover the card first before you format it. i am sure there are some imp data there eh?
use a disk recovery utility on ur pc
my best choice is Recover My Files http://www.recovermyfiles.com/
if you are using windows os also try to run scan disk
use pocket mechanic then on ur ppc
let us know how well u do

Sorry for posting...Wrong thread...

Help with formatting issue on Sandisk 16gb micro sd hc

Well first off I want to apologize for such a lame first thread, but I've been a heavy reader for a while now and this is the first time I haven't been able to solve it.
I bought a Sandisk 16gb micro sdhc class 2 card for my fuze and having a very difficult time formatting it.
I put it in my phone, connected it to my comp via usb and selected "disk drive" option on my phone, then on my comp selected the "open folder to view files" option and I put some files on it. I then disconnected it from my comp and a few minutes later checked to see if my files were on my phone, the files were there but it said the card was full when there was only ~1.2gigs on it. So I connected it back to my computer and when I tried to open the card it said that the card was not formatted, so I select the format now option and it will fail, saying windows could not complete formatting. I then downloaded the panasonic sd formatter from www.sdcard.com and tried formatting again and it says the write protection switch is on and to turn it off, well there isnt a write protection switch on the card...
So I'm not sure what to do at this point, can anyone offer any insight to this issue?
Thanks in advance for any help.

There is a write protection switch on the SD adapter

well in my case the "sd adapter" is my fuze/tp which has never had any problems serving as a disk drive adapter for my sd card in the past.
my laptop has a slot for memory cards and i do have a micro>sd apadter but my lt can not read sd hc cards.

no one can help or offer any insight?
I really don't want to have to buy another one..
I would be willing to donate to whoever can help me fix this..

SanDisk microSDHC card
I did move the write protection switch both ways and it still says write protected in either direction. please help. Thanks

i think it may be your version of windows. i had a similar problem even with a 4gb non-sdhc sd card. it can be read on the phone, but for some reason can't be read if put in the laptop. i just didn't format it because i know it worked.
when i bought a 16gb micro sd for my touch pro, funnily the laptop recognised it even with an adaptor. so maybe since i updated my windows vista, it also updated 'the driver' for the card?
sorry more anecdotal than anything else. just try to use windows update - if you use windows.it may help as in my case.

did u solved the problem???
i have the same problem
i can see the files from the card but i cant delete/copy/format (

the card may be a fake. registration does not actually authenticate the card. where were these cards purchased? if ebay or some similar site you should probably contact sandisk support to verify authenticity 866-sandisk

I have a same problem. Although it is a Transcend disc 16GB class 2. No, I didn't buy it on ebay. I am using Windows 7 x64. Copying to the card can happen when it is in the phone mounted.

same exact freaking problem

ok i'm having this same problem with a sandisk 8gb card... It's very annoying as i can read but basiaclly cannot write anything to it or format it. How was this problem solved?

still no solution?

im dealing with the same issue i have a 16g sd that came with my d1 and now my pc reads 14g from my phone then 31mb from a flash reader??

Check out drgopoos thread and my post:

Thank you this thread has helped!
You asked for more info and I would recommend two free programs:
1) H2testw 1.4 which tests to see if your card has genuine capacity
2) SD Formatter for SDHC This software formats all SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards,

Check my last post on the thread I quoted - you are probably using SD slot on PC. Try USB. What card were you using.

Memory card not detected anymore

Simply put, the card was working just fine earlier today, and now it's not detected anymore. Tried removing the card, rebooting the phone, no results. Using kavana's 6.1 rom, memory card is a 4 GB kingston that I've had for a while. Tried a friend's 2GB card, and it didn't detect it either. My card didn't get detected in his phone due to firmware issues.
Any clues or ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Do you have an external memory card reader? Try reading your card on your pc (or mac) with that. Your memory card may be damaged. I had a similar problem 2 days ago and the card was damaged.

And just as an addition try a format to fat32. "i know 2 x cards not worked but worth a try"

Formatted the card, still sees it randomly (also, it had stopped seeing the contents of my card a couple of days ago. Had to format it, but problems still continue). As I said at the beginning of the thread, when I first encountered the issue I tried a friend's card, but it didn't detect it either.
A while ago I upgraded to WM 6.5 (again) and for a while everything went back to normal. Now it's not working again. Also tried a third card (yet another 2GB card) but it detected it randomly. Could there be an issue with the microSD controller in my phone? Or the reader itself?

Storage card go missing - Samsung sgh i780
It happens to me too. I use a Samsung i780 with a 2GB. The card goes missing randomly. I got the phone changed to a new one, changed the card to 8GB, yet both with 6.1 windows but problem is same.

HELP! micro SDCH does not work!

Hi there.
I'm having a very strange problem and could not solve it so far.
I have a T-mobile MDA III. When I wanted to install a new 4GB micro SDHC, I downloaded the patch, ran it on my MDA, rebooted, inserted the memory and it all worked perfectly.
Then I got an HTC P3300 (for spare) and wanted to do the same. Installed the patch, rebooted, inserted the memory... but the phone does not recognise it.
I than ran the "go back", rebooted, inserted the old 2GB memory but now the phone no longer recognises it.
So, the MDA works ok with 4GB memory.
P3300 does not recognise 4GB memory and after "going back" does not recognise 2GB memory.
Without memory the P3300 is pretty much useless.
Can anyone please shed some light on this, please....
Thanks.

This is precisely where I got the .cab's.
And in my MDA everything works fine.
On the P3300 the 4GB memory is not recognised.
And after installing 'back2original', no memory at all is reconised, not even the 2 GB microSD (not SDHC) that I used before.
One more detail:
on MDA I have WM6
on P3300 I have WM5
Is there something specific to WM5 to teawk about?
Thanks.

Yeah, I fear that's the only solution.
(btw, why old 2Gb sd cannot be accessed? what happened?)
I've been looking for the official WM6 rom from HTC but it no longer is on the site. Where can I find it?

PS - Links to originals are broken, like a number of others.

Have you tried reading the card on the PC? See how it's partitioned and what kind of partition it is. Usually, you should use FAT.
I had this issue before (on my Polaris) and a format helped.

The microSDHC was (is) formated FAT32 with only one partition. On the PC it worked fine.
Anyway, I flashed a ROM (could not find HTC original WM6 though...), applied the patch and now the 4Gb micro SDHC is working.
Still, I could not explain why, in the first try, the old 2Gb microSD stopped working.

I recon it's working now?
