I know the Dash doesn't support 4GB cards... However, anyone find a way around it? Shouldn't it be software based? My brother gave me a 4GB card that wasn't compatible with his Samsung phone, so I figured I'd try to get it to work.
Good luck -- T-Mobile attributes the endless-reboot-looping issue to using cards over 1GB.

i am using a 2 gig with my tmobile dash, and have no problems at all.. like the 1st post, i would love to see a 4gig card work.. good luck!
I use a 2 gig card as well, but had that endless rebooting issue with WM6 & 5 on my Dash. Fortunately, holding the END key during the bootup would jump-start the device; but that doesn't work for everyone. When I contacted T-Mobile support about it, they said they provide support for the device with a 1 gig card, and the endless reboot was a known issue with anything larger the 1 gig. Didn't stop me though FYI -- I've not run into the booting issue since upgrading my device to the HTC WM6 ROM -- though now that I've typed that, it'll probably start happening

i always though the device support was 2 gig.. but oh well.. yeah i am still using t-mobile rom w/wm6 when it was 1st released. (as we speak) i am getting ready too upgrade to the htc rom.. so i wonder if the device will handle a 4gig when using htc rom?
I haven't tried it so I don't know how the phone would handle it, but could you partition it into 2 2g or 4 1g parts?

I've been using 2GB card since day one ( Rogers S621 )
gone from original carrier's WM5 ROM -->> HTC generic WM5 -->> T-Mobile WM6 -->> HTC Generic WM6 ...etc
no problem whatsoever
my advice to those who have problem is:
When upgrade/downgrading ROMs ... take out the SD card & the SIM card altogether ...
leaving it in during the ROM up/down seems to be the cause for the endless boot
Nice try at a guess... but... nope. Had the problem from day 1 with the shipping ROM. This issue isn't always identical for everyone, and some don't run into it at all. Congratulations -- you're one of the lucky ones -- but thanks anyway for sharing your story

chaznet, i just finally made the switch to the ship rom (htc) and i havent seen any reboots.. i installed programs from the card and use it to use customize ringer for contacts... like the other poster said.. might try and take out sim and sd cardd..
Been there, done that... I'm not currently experiencing the issue, but, when I was removing either the SIM card or the SD card had no effect. As I said, pressing the END key during bootup got my device going. This along with the removing the cards, are solutions that work for some users and not others.
The 'endless-reboot' issue has been extensively covered in a dedicated topic, should you wish further clarification do a search and read all about it -- no need to repeat it all here

yes I have read the topic posted from others ... many things could be the culprit ... BUT DEFINITELY NOT BECAUSE OF THE SD CARD BEING OVER 1GB SIZE !! like you've indicated to be !!
heck !! even you yourself indicated what's causing the problem here ... not because of the SD card being larger then 1 GB !!

remove both altogether ... not just either/or
I've no idea what really causes it, that's just what T-Mobile support said, and you can never tell if they're feeding you a story or not. Thanks for your input though

I used to get the random shutdowns and it turned out it was the original battery that came with my T-Mobile Dash. When I switched to the 1200mAh battery I have had no problems whatsoever. I have, since day one, been using a 2GB card, so it can't be the culprit.
4GB cards are SDHC, not for Excalibur
4-32 GB cards are SDHC, a different, no backwards compatible format.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card
Hmmm, that might be the reason then. Thanks. However, as someone here mentioned; is there anyway to format the card into 2 2GBs cards in the compatible format?
Re-read the response, check the Wikipedia link, you'll find the answer has already been provided...

I can't see why not ???
when you plug your card into a reader ( might need an adapter for micro -->> SD size ..etc ). your card is read by the desktop as a separate drive .... use a 3rd party partition program ( partition magic ? ) and do it.
feasible in theory
I don't have a 4GB card to play around ... using 2GB is fine here
I've looked around a bit, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like anyone else has my problem.
Long story short, I've got a 8GB Class 4 Sandisk SD card, and it worked well for the first few weeks. However, as of recently, anytime I connect to my PC in any way and try to transfer files over using USB or Bluetooth, it fails due to the unexpected removal of my SD Card. This is without me physically removing it of course.
I've tried formatting using default settings, and I don't know what else to try... can anyone shed some light here?
Have you tried another SD?
If you have and problem is still there, I would try a factory reset.
If after all this effort your problem is still not resolved, then i would say a call to HTC is your best solution as it could be hardware related.
Oh couple more things:
Try a different USB cable.
Try a different port or pc.
Okay, I tried it with the stock microSD 2gb, and I didn't get this problem ... basically it just means I've got a bad 8gb?

Yup, it happens sometimes.

Be aware there has been countless reports of fake sandisk SD cards being sold everywhere including eBay and Amazon's market place.
So before purchasing a new card Google how to spot a fake sandisk and it should give you an idea of what to look for or not.
I had also faced this situation ...i changed with class 2...nw it working like charm...
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using XDA App
I purchased mine from London Drugs, not sure if you know it, but it is a trustworthy place so I doubt my card is fake.
One more thing for clarification, do you think that setting the phone so that it auto installs to SD could have some effect? I set mine up like that due to the lack of internal storage. Thanks for the responses!
i didnt have this issues before hope u can fix it

Auto install to SD should have no effect mate.
Also the fake card situation - well they have been sold by legitimate sellers believing them to be genuine, not trying to deceive customers.
Apparently the market has been flooded with them.
I read about it a couple of months back.
Not saying yours is fake, was just saying your average user wouldn't notice at all.
hi
first of all i rarely quit on something, and i ( try to ) keep my hopes up even tho the odds are not exactly in my favor....strangely it worked for me on numerous occasions in the past, so im crossing my fingers one more time With this delicate matter.
My micro sd card 32 gb class 10 was bought just a little over 4 month ago ( ebay ) i downloaded the program from Google that verifies the Cards capacity, just to make sure i didnt buy a 2gb clone. After verification i mounted it in my Galaxy s3 and started its normal usage.
Im a father of 4 children, and if you have come to fatherhood/motherhood its really an age of Wonders.....if you can manage to put asside the the every day stress, constant yelling ,telling, shouting, nagging, and hair pulling you know its truly a wonderfull life
I know just like everybody else, that time goes by fast....and beeing a hobby photographer i lover to capture special moments in Our lifes, becouse face it....10 years Down the road really somethimes feel just like 2.
I have filled the card to almost 20gb of Pictures and videos of my preacious Family
the past 4 weeks my phone started to Mount / unmount the card, whenever i turned the screen on i'd see the Notification at the top left, " card was unexpectadly removed " and Mounts it back and everything was normal. 2 weeks ago it started to say " card not recognised " but after a couple of minutes, or the Next time i used the phone the card was mounted and working fine.....by then i started getting a Clue, ok i really should take a backup really soon.
2 days ago 10/06 on my birthday mind you
the card finally gave up and my phone gave me a warning that the card needed formatting. Wich i didnt do!
After the incident i googled away for solutions, everything from quick formats, datarecovery Applications, unlocking the Write protect on micro sd's and chkdsk within command prompt.
I found this thread here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355528
Talking about how he manage to recover his data ( happy for you )
Unfrortunately it didnt work for me, checkdisk couldnt perform becouse of the microsd's format beeing RAW
i tried 3 different Applications for data recovery one of them beeing zardata recovery software to no avail
i gave this one a shot : TestDisk i didnt play arround too much becouse i wanted to make minimal to no changes to the card in hopes of recovering most of the data, so i didnt really get far With this one.
i downloaded fat32 format wich stated that i might get the card to be readable again, but it didnt work becouse i got "the card is Write protected" error ( even tho there was no Lock that was on )
At this time the card is not readable by my Galaxy s3, only way is to plug it into a card reader With SH support thru usb on my Laptop and even then i get a Message telling me it needs formatting, wich i tried a couple of times after googling the correct unit allocation sizes wich i set to about 4k to get the best performance and to try to keep its standard 4k wich i presumed it was when i formatted it first time to fat32
I am aware that on some forums they mention that if the card is about to give up it goes into Write protect mode, but since i havent written anything on it since this started, i think i still have a chance.
About 10 years ago, i had my hdd crash on me....a friend of mine helped me recover my data using Linux to read the raw data......anything out there that does the same job ?
I also appreciate a step by step guide for the TestDisk program from http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download
The Cards size is approx 30mb at the moment, there are no visible marks, scratches or cracks on it.
Please before you answer me, think of any.....really ANY solution that might help me get my data back, i dont want to give up on this yet.
I thought if anything else fails ill send it off to some data recovery center and get the data that way.
Thank you for beeing patient and Reading thru this, have a Nice day

Another gigantic OP that I couldn't be bothered to read. You may have done this already, but I wouldn't know because I'm not going to fully read that big post, lol. Remove all data from the card and then format the thing. Replace data and try again.
Don't use that "testdisk" program/site. Flash cards/SSDs only have so many reads/writes before they die off. Defragging or performing read/write tests on flash media is not good for the longevity of the medium.

If the card is seated securely and you are getting those errors sounds like a defective card.
Have you tried a low level format?
Have you tried other phones, devices?
If so do you get errors on those also?
Have you run any test on the card itself. Are you sure you are not mistaking issues with the new SD card permissions (or lack there of) for errors?
Those are some of the steps I suggest to figure out if the card is bad right out of the box, yes this happens a lot more than you think it does, or that card don't play nice with device this still happens even though it should not, or the card is on its way out. If nothing seems to be working try and get a replacement that should fix your issues and if it don't, don't buy that kind of card anymore

I have never had a issue with SanDisk but is the luck or unlucky of the draw[emoji1]
Formatting many times is no good for SD cards should really only format when you HAVE TO. There is really no need to format reformat... Usually after some time of using the card you can get back some lost performance by performing a low level format. But again really should only do that when you NEED to.
I have the Pro version (the Grey and more expensive one) Samsung card you have listed, I love it as far as performance and what not but I use it quite often for various devices not only in the N4, but for many people an expensive high capacity high performance card will be pretty much a waste (at least until root comes our way). Many people can survive on the devices memory alone, if I had to I totalaly could without any issues. Most things are streamed/synced/cloud and whatnot so there is no need to have a large amount of things stored on a SD specially when you take into consideration the new android sdcard permissions. Only system apps can even write to the card, no normal apps can.
This may change down the road hopefully, Google will be persuaded into changing that policy, or at least once we have root we can make our own rules.
Unfortunately Android has the stigma of being the "Least Secure Mobile OS" and I think Google is going to move in the direction trying to rectify this. That is going to be unfortunate for us I believe, because technically the statement that Android is the least secure of the mobile os's at this time is true. If the user knows nothing about computers, software, Linux and whatnot then yes this is true. But for many of the same reasons Android is considered vulnerable are the reasons the advanced user loves Android. Unfortunately I think many of these things are going to change and the advanced users will be stuck with solutions to problems we never had in the first place because the vast majority of people need there hand held in everything they do. LOL sorry about the rant but above that is my 2 cents of your card question.

I had the same problem with my Note4. I suspect this to be the cause of my recent problems with IndexService.
The last days I noticed an extreme batterydrainage. (50% in 4 hrs only cheching mail and reeding some ebook and newspaper) 44% usage by IndexService and 17% by screen.
At first i thought it was my Next UI . Deleted it . No changes.
Then I found out about similar issues on S5 and note 3 to be caused by corrupt pdf files. I deleted all documents, pictures, ... everything! Nothing changed.
i took out the SDcard. The same or even worse. Keeps the phone checking for SDcard when none installed?
So I reconnected the SDcard and formatted it again. STILL NO CHANGES.
Suggestions anyone?

no and i agree with you regarding your rant.. it's just sad there is no recognition for the hardcore base user group.
So i think i'm gonna bite the bullet and buy the pro... I've done some more research and it seems that specifically the Ultra 64gb sandisk card manufactured a year or later ago has a technical 'fault' according to sandisk. i don't care for another sandisk so i'm gonna just buy the pro...
although i feel exhaustd with sandisk.. there is a 64gb extreme sandisk microsd ...
how is the quality of the extreme cards compared to the samsung pro?

I had issues with my 64g SanDisk ultra when I got my note 4. Worked fine in my note 2 until I moved it to my note 4. Then I started to get the SD card unexpectedly removed, constantly remounting. Formatted it in the phone in the computer nothing worked. Couldn't even copy back the stuff that was on it. Purchased a PNY 4k compatible micro sd and it works great. I will never get another SanDisk.
Hi folks of XDA! I am in a bit of a pickle right now with my micro SD card that I purchased a while back from ADATA.
Long story short, I purchased a 64GB micro SD card from ADATA due to my needs of a little more storage than what this phone offered. I ended up using the micro SD card as adoptable storage as I wanted to be able to use both my internal and micro SD card for 'everything'. It worked great until the night before I was suppose to go on a cruise: music wasn't being downloaded as it said it had insufficient storage space, and I couldn't take pictures with the camera app because it couldn't find the storage. I got frustrated as it was showing I had over half of the storage available on my SD card and I just did not have time to meddle with this problem; it was late at night and I simply needed my phone for taking pictures & videos & music.
I ended up doing a 'no no' and ripped the micro SD card out of my HTC One M9 without formatting or anything (literally just popped it out of my phone), restarted the phone, and surprisingly nothing was corrupted; everything on my phone was still working. But not surprisingly, the micro SD card got a little weird where when I put it back into my phone, it did not recognize it and my phone wanted me to format the micro SD card. Fair enough. I did that and it said it could not be formatted ("Volume partition disk: 179,32 public' failed..."). Fair enough.
I went onto my Windows 10 PC, slotted my micro SD card into the adapter that it came with, slid the little notch away from the 'lock' on the adapter, and my computer says it needs formatting. I try formatting it but all it keeps saying is that it's 'write protected'.
I slid the notch on the adapter to the lock, and away, as well as kept it in the middle; nothing helped, it kept saying it was write protected no matter which part it was on.
I tried using scotch tape to cover it as some people on the internet found it to work when their slid mechanism broke. Still did not work.
Tried using another adapter, and it still said it's write protected.
Resorted to using the DiskPart technique via CMD; everything shows up, the micro SD card status is online and disk 1, 58GB, 0 free space.
Tried going further into the steps (i.e. "attribute disk clear readonly" & another way, "select partition"), and it says it could not be recognized due to fatal error of hardware.
Would anyone happen to be in this situation before and was able to get their micro SD card fixed or knows a fix for me? I'll be happy to give you more in-depth detail if needed. Thank you!

Did you figure it out? I've had similar issue. I had to insert and remove multiple times until my PC recognized it... I think when I booked to Linux it worked though.
That sounds to me like the SD card is toast. I think it's built into the cards themselves that if the controller is going, it goes into read-only mode so that you can get your data off of it. I had an SD card bite it the first day I owned it a few years ago in a camera. I would use either a Linux VirtualBox or Linux Live Disc to copy your data to your computer and buy a new card.

Fortunately everything important like photos were already backed up into the cloud and my micro SD card has life time warranty so I guess I'll have to end up using it. AHHH cost of shipping & time from my impatience with removing the micro SD card. My hunch is that the encryption that occurred when I used the micro SD card as an adoptable storage may have ultimately screwed it up... ://
If anyone have any clues to how to fix the problem or would like me to try things with it, feel free to post a reply

Unfortunately I still haven't figured out how to fix my micro SD card; it's just sitting on my desk collecting dust and sadness. I'll update this thread if I happen to fix it!
Also, "booked to Linux"?

I've tried using Linux but it's not working.
I'm having Two SD-cards collecting the dust as yours .
Please reply if you find any solution for revering those adoptable sd-cards back to working.
Thank U....
The nature of solid state memory is that any errors causes a complete failure. You will never recover the sd card. Return it to the manufacturer for a replacement.

Hey! Sorry for the late reply (school exams) but mine is still collecting dust and will be probably forever. For the price that I've paid (~$30), it's not worth to replace and it's better if I just purchased a new SD card. Time + effort to get a new one is far too great for me to care about getting a replacement.

Thanks for the reply
But even after sdcard replacement if you use same rom in your device then the new one is also going be damaged
My device has only customs roms of android 6.0 so there still bug in them if i get new sdcard i cannot use latest version in my device So i have to search for solution to unlock these sdcards

Oh I see. Fortunately for me right now, I am not using a custom ROM. I've been sticking to stock HTC and will proceed to do so until HTC stops giving out updates. I am not quite sure what you could do except try to manage with the 32GB like me by deleting all unnecessary apps, putting all your photos and videos into Google photo, and caching music that you find yourself listening to the most these days. So far it has been working well for me to the point where I don't find it necessary to have an SD card anymore! Perhaps it's a different case for you.
