Hi,
I just got my 8gb Sandisk MicroSD, out of excitement, I tried to put it in my Jasjam the otherway around, after a while I realized I am doing it wrong so now when I try to insert it using the right way, it wont stick in, just comes out like the spring is broken??? Is there anyway to fix this??
Thanks
If its under warranty send it back to manufacturer, but don't tell tell what you did exactly
nope, its not under warranty , any other solution? Thanks

The LCD screen on my G2 got cracked the other day. T-mobile would not replace it since it was physical damage. I didn't have insurance, so they would not help me. They wouldn't even let me pay them for parts and repair. So I had to order a new LCD online, and repair it myself. I followed the instructions I found online, and replaced the LCD. My phone turned on, and the LCD was working. But now my phone does not recognize any SD cards. I opened my phone and check the SD card reader ribbon. It was plugged back in fine. I hope I didn't damage it. I have searched for hours, and tried every solution I have come across. But I think my problem is with hardware and not software. Does anybody here have some expertise they could lend me?
Thanks in advance.

When ever my phone has not been able to mount my sd card or recognize it, all I did was pull it out and copy all the files off of it onto my computer, then reformat the sdcard to fat32 which erases everything off it, then recopied all my files back onto it, put it back in and it works, every time.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I have tried reformatting. I reformatted via my Mac, Windows, and my Old G1. None of them help in my case I'm lost. I have tried different SD Cards. They work in my G1, but not G2. I have tried a factory reset out of desperation. Nothing, makes a difference. I think my SD Card Reader is busted. And I do not know how to fix it
Hey Guys,
I dropped my Evo today pretty hard and i'm pretty sure something inside related to the sd card reader broke. I hear something rattling and it will not recognize my sd card. I restarted plenty of times, took out sd card and put back in and doesn't make a difference.
I plan on making sure its the phone later with another sd card I have at home to make sure its the phone vs the sd card.
Assuming it's the phone that's screwed, I'm thinking without access to an sd card, I can't really unroot before taking it into sprint to get it checked out.
I have insurance, would it be best to just claim it lost? Do you think sprint will give me crap about it being rooted if I take it in?
I really appreciate any feedback.
I would! But if you have ADB install on your computer, you can try to unroot it that way, if not I would claim it lost.
9 times out of 10 they won't give a fu€¥. If it's got pieces lose and it won't operate there not going to fix it before they replace it.
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......
Thanks guys. I got home and swapped another sd card and it reads that card fine... I guess i just killed my 16gb card I just recently got for xmas! ><
The weird thing is there is definitely something loose rattling inside now.. I'm still tempted to just claim it lost and get a brand new one since this thing is a little beat up

It might just be corrupt. Try to mount it to your PC. It should "repair" it and you can take some files off.
As for something rattling around, if you have Total Equipment Protection, bring it to a Sprint store. They will fix it for you for free, even if its your fault. If you claim it stolen/lost, it will cost you $100. Unless you REALLY want a new one.
hmmm happened to me. just removed card and inserted and all was good.
Yeah, i tried inserting my 16gb sdcard into my pc and it doesn't even recognize it via the card reader. but if i put my 8gb into the same reader, it reads it fine... I'm guessing that means 16gb card = dead.
If I take it in for repair for that rattling, do you think they will notice/care that the phone is rooted though? That's why i'm weary of taking it in to get it "checked out" at a sprint store.
Hi guys,
Im running CM 7 on my HTC desire with Go launcher and just upgraded to a new class 4 8gb SD card made by Sandisk.
I got the first one last week and it worked fine for 12 hours, until i started getting force closes and soon enough, the screen turned blank and only the home key buttons lit up at the bottom. I had to do a battery removal restart and the notoification bar said " Preparing SD card". This never went away even after restarting. I then requested the retailer to send me a new card as i thought this one was corrupted. He agreed.
I used my old 2gb card for five days and did not have a problem.
I got the new 8gb card again yesterday and BOOM! 12-14 hours later, im facing the same problem. I ve had to format it through recovery and download everything again. It still hangs, screen blanks out and i have to do a battery removal restart and all my apps have gone. In the settings menu under "manage applications" they only appear as com.appname.xyz and a grey icon
Here is exactly what im doing-
I put the new card in my phone ( without formatting or partitioning) and download the applicatiosn i need from the market. NOTHING ELSE.
Can anyone help me here? Is there something im missing out? Im fed up of restarting my phone every ten minutes and not having any applications.
Thanks
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Did you buy it off ebay?
Well not exactly Ebay but the indian version called Flipkart.
The card sells for around a discount of 50%.. I now understand why.
Do you think this could be a faulty batch of SD cards?

*sigh*... you buy from a market which sells things at 50% less.... was it REALLY that hard to find out you just got ripped off for fake sd-cards... seriously buy from somewhere reputable.
ok, let me correct myself. Its the Indian equivalent of Amazon. They have a full return policy which i used to return the first faulty 8GB card and continued to face problems with the new replacement. They have offered to take this card back as well and credited the money to my account five minutes ago..My point is all this is a big hassle for something as silly as a card..
My query is still, what could the problem be? DO HTC Desire's have a problem running 8Gb SD cards? This is a class 4 card...
Anything i should be doing before using a new card?

Okay, so that's not so bad then. As far as I know they don't, before I was using an 8gb Class 6 sandisk, then a 16gb class 6 sandisk and they're fine..
Try buying from somewhere else though, maybe it WAS the seller
Ok i have searched the the forum and none seem to directly apply to my issue so ill post this and hope its not a repost. I have the 2014 edition and i picked up my tablet off the table yesterday and noticed some icons greyed out. I went into settings/storage and noticed the sd was not mounted which was odd so i clicked mount and nothing happened and i realized it said insert sd. I took the card out and put the card from my phone in and it didnt recognize that one either. I put the card from the tablet in my phone and it worked instantly. I have formatted the tablet installed the stock rom, installed cleanrom. Nothing seems to work. Obviously my warranty is void and as i can find no apparent way to untrip the knox counter (go to hell samsung with that stupid efuse crap) anyone have any other ideas to repair this thing. It has no been dropped or anything that i can recall nor water or anything of that nature it just decide to stop working i imagine. thanks in advance.

I have had three (name brand) go bad in the last 10 months or so. I now always get the replacement warranty with each one. The last one just before I got the Note was the first replaced by the warranty. Well worth the 4.99 for a year of replacement.

There are other postings in the G-Note 2014 section that have reported the same issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678229
In almost all the cases it is NOT the tablet but the card.
Even if the card works in a phone but not your tablet does not mean that your tablet is defective.
I have a few questions for you that will help us to help you.
What brand is the card?
What class is the card?
Did you purchase it from a local retailer or Ebay?
Was it sold to you bulk or in a genuine retail package?
How old is the card?
What file system is the card formatted as?
Have you tried another card in your tablet?

I see...... You made this determination just because it works in your phone and not in the tablet or do you have a second SD card that you tested in the tablet and it did not work as well?

Actually i tested 3 different sd cards in a 32 gb an 8gb and a 2gb none of them worked but all worked in my samsung galaxy s3 and in my card reader in my laptop which says to me that it is the tablet itself not the sd cards
Just something I would do is flash stock rom with Odin and start over and see if that helps if you can't return it.Do you have jellybean or kit kat on it? I saw with a post so where and they were saying kit kat won't read the external ad cards.
Hi,
I think my Xtrons TD696A may be faulty.
The SD card keeps unmounting and saying unexpectedly removed. Then somtimes remounting again. And will keep doing this.
I have tried Kingston and Samsung cards 16 GB and 32 GB.
Also tonight when I was changing the card I couldn't get it to click into place.
Eventually it did but then wouldn't again, like its faulty inside possibly
I am on Malalysk firmware. And have tried factory resets too.
Any advice. Do I need to format the SD card in a certain way other than FAt 32, does allocation size or anything else matter?
I may have to try and return the unit to stock before I send it back if that is possible. Only problem is seller is in Italy. Im in UK, so really didn't want to return it!
Thanks
there was a post or thread where someone had taken a photo of a bad connection between the sd card slot and the wires soldered to it.
Can anyone help me find this?!
Thanks
Or is there a general guide to opening the case and accessing the front SD card reader?
Help please lol
You might try putting the sdcard in your pc and formatting it to exFAT. Then put it in the head unit and have android format it. I had to do this myself.

thanks, i tried that after seeing it suggested here, unfortunately it didnt work for me.
Really think its a hardware issue as sometimes by pushing the area around the card slot, it will mount/unmount etc
Well I took the front off (warranty probably already void due to installing custom ROM and rooting anyway!)
But couldnt get the PCB out of the front screen case, might have been glued in or something and didn't want to force it.
Coulndt see any obvious solder breaks.
Managed to wedge in a bit of paper to see if it possibly might put a bit more pressure on the sd card contacts, but doubt it will do anything.
We'll see when I get it back in the car
Thinking I can probably do without an SD card reader anyway really...
Seller is advising to only use class 4 cards, im 99.9% sure that isn't the issue though!
