Hello!
I've just recieved a brand new OEM SD 4GB 150x but I have a problem with it!
I tried to access it trough my laptop (Aopen 1557-G) but nothing happens.
After I insert it on SD slot, the laptop freezes for a sec or two and then on My Computer appears a icon saying SD /MMC. I try to open it and says no disk inserted!
Then, I've tried on a Mio A201 and on explorer I can't access it either (The Storage card doesnt happer).
I was wondering if there is a problem with SD (I want to use it on HTC Universal, but mine as gone to warrancy for battery replacement, so I cant test it on it).
Do you think is possible that my card reader on laptop doesnt recognize it because is 4Gb? Should I try it with a USB card reader?
Doesnt Mio A201 support 4GB SD?
I want to be sure that it's faulty before I'll send it back to USA for replacement. A month of delay more extra expenses of shipment.
Thanks for your help.

It's quite possible that the card reader in your laptop just doesn't support that size of SD card. I'd suggest testing it in any other device you can.
Just out of curiosity, how much did you pay for the 4Gb SD card? I work at CEX in Brighton, and we had a 4Gb 150x SD card in a while ago, which was up for sale for I think 90 pounds or so. (All our items are second-hand, bought from customers. I checked on the price of 512Mb cards a while back - ours were 10 quid at the time, Jessops 5 doors down was selling them for 50!)
I'm guessing you got your SD from eBay, from a dude called fastmemoryman. OEM Samsung 150x from the USA
Anyway, I've had no problems with mine, it works with both my computer's SD card readers (both USB though), my Magician (with some tweaking - a manafacturing fault of the Magician I think), my Himalaya and my Dell Axim x30. You probably will need a USB card reader, as laptop card readers are typically weak.
If it refuses to work in your Mio or Wizard, I suggest you try partitioning the card into two using something like Paragon Partition Manager, so that the card appears as two 2GB cards instead of one 4GB card (as many devices have problems handling 4GB cards).
what i usually do if the sd card is not recognized i try it on a camera and try to format it thru that, then i insert it to my pda and re-format it again with resco. i am using a 4Gb 150x Transcend card on my Uni no problems

Yes!
I bought and successfully using "SD Transcend 4Gb/150x" in my device (on photo) with FAT System.
My "Epson_RX-620", included to big PC, not viewing her absolutely precisely - as you have described!
Offers to format and can not open!
Here is present only one exit - to use cards with this speed 150x -
only on elementary USB-adapters without additional drivers -
only by means of adapted drivers of System (WXP).
I just bought a PQI 4gb SD card with no problems for $70 USD, www.newegg.com has alot of selections, ranging from $60 - $80 USD.

It's a advertise of concrete shop, and it haven't nothing common with described problem.
Many shops is present in all countries, and to this sellers from another city (country!!!)
there is no sense to go - to pay for a road (or delivery) - more expensively.
I thought, that here there is no advertising...
And I bought my card of prestigious firm (made in Taiwan) -
for $-57 IN RUSSIA!!! - and what - all to go to Russia?
But if who want - welcome to Russia, please!
(not for sake of card - a simple so)
I bought the same OEM 150x samsung SD card from ebay two months ago. I started having problems with it - first my PC reader wouldnt reader it, although it did initially, and then my Universal wouldn't read it - it would freeze when i put it into the phone. I have sent it back now for a replacement.
hi you need to download new drivers for the card reader in your laptop. I had to do it to my acer found them on the HP website under texas instruments 4 in 1 reader but search through till you find the 4 gig driver.

Hi all,
Happily listening to music with Core Player on the TP2 I received last Saturday and the phone lit up with a message from Core Player that it wanted to update my media library, following the removal of the SD Card.
Suffice to say, I was confused: no chance with the SD card hidden under the battery cover that it could have been loose and fallen out but checking through File Manager on the phone, the SD card can't be seen at all.
Put said card into an adapter and then card reader on my PC; it comes up to suggest there is no card inserted: put the same card via adapter into my digital camera and the camera refuses to even turn on with the card in.
It's a duff card I'm sure - bit peeved since it wasn't that old but meh: don't trust all eBay sellers selling 'genuine' SanDisk products I guess - however, whilst I await the arrival of a new one, could it be my TP2 that has damaged the card in some way? Has anyone else noted problems with the TP2 and higher capacity SD cards?
FlashROM based cards only have a certain number of writes. Same goes for SSDs. They should have a way to track number of writes to cards. I've had official Sandisk cards go bad on me within the first year too. Don't forget that static shocks from your clothes can actually damage the card. Also don't forget that your phone can corrupt your data if it's in the middle of a read/write op and you remove the card.

Thanks for your thoughts mate: it wasn't removed from the phone and the phone only had CorePlayer running on it at the time - so I don't think it was anything I'd done
I think I got duped by someone on eBay selling a 'Geninue' Sandisk card that perhaps wasn't - I've read here than Danetec are also quite good so I've ordered one of them directly: fingers crossed I have more luck with my second one!
I was more concerned with it possibly being my phone - I read a month or so back on the Diamond2 forum that 16GB cards didn't work so well with that phone and wondered if any forumites here had noted any issues with the TP2 and certain SD cards, thats all...
it happened to me last weekend, due to an automatic update of go news touch which went wrong.
no way to see or format the card on the ppc or my netbook. I had to go back home, put it into a usb adaptor, and finally format it with mu desktop pc. my little cer netbook couldn't detect it, and locked up each time I tried formatting it, even from cmd console. but on desktop with adaptor it went just fine.
hope you'll be able to resolve - my sandisk card was 20 days old, 65€ worth, and having it toasted isn't something I would wish to anyone

In this case, it's not even recognised - via a card reader, active sync or inside another device: this one I think is lost Meh, it's only money
Hi All
Paulplex, don't feel you are alone, this happened to me too with a genuine Sandisk 16gb card. It worked last thing at night, went to access it in the morning and it was dead - just 3 months old with no issues at all up to that point.
The solution was replace it as it would not recognise via a reader in the pc either - completely useless....
The cause? Who knows, i do suspect the TP 2 though as i had no issue with it on my old Dopod 838 pro for the first 2 months since new.
Cheers

Using the pre-installed stock Samsung Class 2 micro SDHC 8gb
Constantly getting this error from the DHD:
"SD card unexpectedly removed"
Symptoms:
1) Usually happens after installing / removing apps.
2) Tends to re-boot by itself after "hang" after about 10 seconds
Note the following items:
1) USB Debugging = ON
2) SIM card is fully inserted
3) SDHC card is fully inserted
4) Using stock ROM
5) PC Error Checking (bad sector) = No error
6) Have tried to format the SDHC. Result = same error
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot tis ?
Is the pre-installed SDHC card at fault ?
Thanks
Another thing you can try is to check with another card (New or Old)
If it still does it....then there shud be some problem with the card holder unit or something...get it replaced mate
Had the same issue. Think your SD card is broken. Mine was. Couldn't even get it to work on a pc. Tried a new SD card and the problem was gone. Just got out of the Vodafone store. They replaced the SD card under warranty.

I've got EXACTLY the same problem. It's bloody crazy!
I read that the phone may not be able to cope, as it's only a class 2 card - but I don't think that is correct, is it?
I've contacted HTC, and they just told me to take it back to the store and ask them to check it out. I'll probably do that in a week or so.
it just happened to me!! randomly. everything was fine and then suddenly it just failed on me. any clue why?

Bundled Samsung SD cards with the latest OTA update are known to fail, search for more info in other threads here to see if you'd qualify for a warranty replacement.

Been happening to me on the stock Samsung class 2 8gb... anyone encountered any problems changing to a class 4 card?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
when I woke up this morning I couldn't access any of the programs on my sd card (SanDisk 16GB Class 2 SDHC), when I rebooted my desire HD the same thing happened. I tried manually mounting it, rebooting like ten times, inserting, ejecting the card etc, nothing would work.
Can't be the phone just smashed a 16GB card over night :/
YES....!! Gggrrrrr! it just happened to me last night. I rebooted my phone after installing some different Apps throughout the day (as is usual in my Android daily life). then after the phone rebooted about 30-45 seconds later i saw the "SD Card unexpectedly removed", thats strange i thought. Couldn't get past that after about another 4 reboots i removed the SD Card and tried it in a card reader on my PC. similar thing, I could ready the file structure on the WIN PC but then about 30 seconds later the drive disappeared and was no longer available. I then re formatted the card (started the process withing the first 30 seconds) and thought that would fix it. Now neither my WIN PC or Desire can read the card. also tried in Lynx Puppy environment but no go.
I think my 16GB Class 2 card is TOASTED. Was it because it used an Ext4 Partition on the card for the past 7 weeks? I heard some people in the site saying that Ext4 can damage your SD Card...?
Had the same problem - lost all my unbacked-up data. Quite disappointing. Bought a new micro SDHC and hasn't had a problem since.
So it's the SD-Card then?
It's happening to me most of the time and it's really anoying!
Yep time to buy a new one.if your luck and still able to access your old card then get it backed up quick.......before it goes tits up.
Sent with Desire.
Just visited the HTC customer center last week to check on this issue. Seems like its got to do with a bad batch of cards.
They replaced an identical Samsung microsd class 2 8gb card to let me use for a couple of days. Told me that If I was to still encounter the same problem, it could be problems with the card reader chasis, and I'd have to leave the phone with them for a couple of days.
I'm happy to report that I have not had 1 single "SD card removed unexpectedly" since I got the new replacement card.
I highly suggest for people facing the same problem to get their cards replaced by the seller or HTC.

I just have the same problem like yours.
I tried many way and methods, It just can't working fine!!
so I buying another sdhc as sandisk 8G class 4
now I have no problem for two months so far.
I am reasonably to Suspected...
that the problem happends cuz this garbage samsung SDHC!!
Change it now! you'll feel like:[what a wonderful world~]
The "telus" version comes with an 8gig class 4 card but upgraded to a 16gig class 10. No problems either way.
Guess Canada nipped it in the bud
I was going fine with the stock 8Gb card and then I replaced it with a class 10 16Gb card and after about a week it started randomly ejecting. The card worked fine in other devices and can always be read in Windows but I guess it's only time - I have had another card go in the past and it's a real downer.
I'm not convinced it's the card. I've tried uninstalling any suspect apps but it hasn't made much difference.
Formatting the card and replacing all the files kind of works but I have still had one random 'eject' in the last 48hrs since I last formatted.
Actually the problem seems to have started when I re-flashed my current rom - Android_Revolution_HD-4G_4.0_beta4
Wish we could find out what is going on here.
Having the exact sample problem, but with a 16g card that I bought several month ago. I have another 16g card, will swap and see if the problem go.
I had this problem as well
So I formatted the SD Card and had the problem since...
however sometimes, it cant seem to recognise some pictures in the card, so i use SD rescanning app...
Heard someone saying this was caused by an OTA, well I had a warning around 2 days before the SD-Card Un-Mounted saying that the Card was in Read-Me format... anyway 2 days later my SD-Card became un-mounted and then became comepletely useless. I was unable to mount it or anything, going to get my dad to ring up HTC, as we rung my carrier and they said the problem 'had never been reported' which is bull**** as theres enough people here with the problem...
Hi guys,
Bought a SD card from the bay and it arrived all good and well but after a few days started crashing my phone as i didn't know what it was i sent my phone to HTC got it re-flashed by them and sent back put the SC card back in then i got the message of copy written card , Which was odd , got past that now so now its accepting files but very slowly Currently transferring 4.04GB @ 81KB/s According to windows but its going to take an estimated 15 hrs , Its been transferring for 1 Hr now and no where near finished , Any ideas Its a FAT32 card , I try format it to NTSC but wont format there just hangs then the phone reformats it to Fat32
Any ideas to speed it up ?
It can only be FAT32. Run a hard drive benchmark like CrystalDisk Mark and see what speeds you get. Make sure you at least run the sequential test. Sounds like you really got a dodgey card though.

You should really run h2testw. Flash memory cards from eBay are often fakes, so make sure you test it out so you don't miss out on a refund.
EDIT: "...the bay..." -- I'm guessing you meant eBay? Either way, you ought to test it.

yeah you got it right mate , Yeah ill run some benches i think it is a fake as i got an email sent to me via ebay saying i had been involved in fraudulent activity's , so i passed it off as the card was working then ,
But yeah just passed 4GB over to it , From last night at about 10 PM To Now 8.50AM its still got 7 Hrs remaining ,
How do you transfer? Cardreader? usb cable?
I read that some older cardreaders having problems with SDhc cards bigger than 16 gb. It's for those readers that connect via usb.

Yeah, try running the test. It might takes ages, but it is the only proper way to find out if you've been sold a fake card. Most of the times you won't have to run the whole test as it might start picking up fake memory locations after the 2GB or 4GB mark, so anything after that will be fake too.
Also noticed when i plug it into the pc , through the phone i get the scan and fix , from windows so just done that and tried to recover any bad sectors might help then ill go through and bench it again but like i said earlier it just didn't start and then the program wouldn't respond

Recovering any lost sectors wouldn't help if the card is fake.
A fake card is one where they make the card in such a way so that it appears as some X size, however in fact it is physically it will be only 2/4/Y GB big and the rest is just faked through some kind of trickery. No method will give you those lost GB, as they physically are not even there (can't make something out of nothing, right).
Anyway, good luck with the test.
What happened to popping to the shops? /sigh at the digital age. I don't get why people buy such garbage on eBay because quite a few times this week I have seen people buy stuff from eBay and it's been fake.
Quick update thanks for all the advice guys , but i think i have resolved my problem the phone was slowing my transfers down ,
so i went to ebay and got a SD to USB for 11P and its transferring much faster now brought the time down from 12 Hrs to transfer 4 GB to 1 Hr to transfer 5 GB Which is Brilliant !
Hi
As mentioned in the title 2 microSD hc cards got dameged when I used them on my phone, the first one is a class 4 that worked for a few years on a nokia phone and a few month in my current g3 device, at first it went on/off, working well for a while and afterwards not working at all. And after a while it stopped working permanently, and even other devices doesn't recognize it.
The second one is a class 10 sandisk microSD that I've inserted a few days ago to the device and about a day afterwards it stopped working and even the computer didn't recognize it. Now it came back to work, the computer recognize it, but I'm afraid to put it in the g3 because It might damege it again.
My decice is rooted, so maybe it has something to do with that but I'm pretty much sure that the first one got dameged before I've rooted the device (it was a few month ago so I don't remember well).
Another thing to mention is that I've tried to backup files on the second card before it stopped working and the backup apps said that it's not writeable, but when I tried with Total Commander it worked fine.
Does anybody know what might be the problem? Is it something related to the fact that my device is rooted?
Somebody claims that it might be because of the type of the card that it's not compatible with the device (they're both sandisk microSD hc cards) but I didn't see that mentioned in amy place.
Thanks in advance
