Has anyone else had this issue?
When I fully charge my device with the power switched off, it will no longer recognise the MicroSD card. I have to manually edit a file on the card via PC, then reinstall, then it works fine.
This only happens when fully charging with the power off (eg plugged in overnight), it does not happen if the device is powered on when fully charging or when the SD card is removed prior to charging.
Now I have recognised the problem I can avoid it - but I'd be interested to know if anyone else has this issue. I don't know if it is a problem unique to my card or device.
Hi,
Did you check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4031832#post4031832
Regards,
I have seen that thread, but this is a different problem. I have had no problem with the 16Gb card in regular use - only after switching the device off and fully charging.
Cheers,
what file you edit?

Just a text file in the route directory. I don't believe it makes any difference, it just seems to 'unlock' the card (somehow) so the TP2 will recognise it again.
It may not even be neccesary, it could be that just accessing the card on the PC means it works again.
Does this mean you have a similar issue?

I have a problm with my Evo as that it literally thinks its connected to a PC when it's not.
I had the phone, checked for a Astro Fime Manager for a file I placed on SD Card. When I was checking, most things appeared but when I checked other folders, like the Download folded, nothing showed in there. But I know I had files in that the folder.
I then connected the phone to my PC and without it asking me if I wanted to charge it, sync it, use it for disk drive or internet connection, it went straight to the "Use it as a disk drive" feature. Verified because soon as I plugged it into my computer, the SD Card opened on my PC.
I then clicked to have the phone just "Charging" and now I can see everything on my SD card again.
Do anyone know what this problem could be or how to fix it? I thought it was one of the SD Card Problems that was occurring to some phones. But according to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Their SD card stopped working altogether before doing the fix.
Another question about this, will "Debugging" cause this if left on? I had it one for doing the adb stuff when I rooted etc.

Thank you so much!!!!! I've been wondering why it was doing this. I was about to go buy a new SD card.
Thanks again!
I had this same problem a while back. I wonder why they thought this was a useful feature. They could have just changed the default option for when you plug in the USB.
Hi,
I'm posting this issue second time. I have a class 2 SD card with almost 1700mb of ext3 partition. the problem is that my SD turns to read only when accessing some files from my sd card. it says in the notification SD card mounted as a read only and then say "tap" to resolve the card responded unexpectedly.
tapping on it sometimes help if i remove the files that I was trying to access that created the problem. otherwise it mounts it as read only.
Hi, you sure your card is a genuine one? The problems you are having are identical to what I had. Turns out my 32gb card was in fact an 8gb card, and the problem was when capacity was reached it would go to read only. The only way to rectify this was to take the card out, place it in my PC card reader right click on properties of the drive and run the error checking tool. Hope this helps. Got my money back anyway thought £36 was a bit cheap lol! Try writing a large file to the card using your Computer, this should give you an indication if the card is genuine or not.

Card is genuine. I have placed my card several times in my brothers htc hd and formatted it through windows. its almost 8 gb i checked it on windows. last time I deleted a folder which has wiered name as if the folder was corrupted. I deleted that folder n it was running fine again. but its back again.
mine came with telus, so it should be genuine. what does class signify? like i have class 2, what does it mean?
CLass is the speed of read and writes.
I recently had a problen like this it turned out to be a corrupt file in the .secure folder used for apps to sd.

then I guess its because of corrupt files but why is it so often specially when I copy something from windows.
I had this problem once after disconnecting from a Windows PC, simply connect the sd car directly to a computer and run the windows verification tool, it finds the corrupt file and your sd card starts working again
hey i recently had the same problem ,, but i figured it out and this method should work fine...!!
>First of all you should know how this problem has occurred..??,
well the reason is, we all connect the phone to system in usb mass storage mode ,,but while removing we'll only give safely remove in the system and forget to do the same in the phone ,,,trust me this the core for this problem....sd-card cannot be fully unmounted by system ,,, so you have to manually do this by your phone
so if you are using the sense rom ,,after ejecting the disk in the system ,,,in your your phone's notification area
in ''connect to pc'' menu select charging only .....this will completely unmount your memory card .
>if you are using non sense rom ,,"turn off the usb" mass storage
do this every time you connect your phone to the system ..!!!
ok now solution for your problem..
>reboot your phone to recovery mode using rom manager...
>select partition menu
>now select mount usb storage ,,,
>now you have tow options
1. either you backup every thing and format your sd-card (recommended)
or
2.mount your sd-card and check for errors in windows,,,
this should fix your problem ..
remember ,,next time when you are connecting your phone don't direly unplug the the cable..!!

The Class number represents a multiple of 1 MB/s
So if 2 is written on ur SD card then it means that its capable of a read speed of 3MB/s

- Not always true, its happened to me on several occassions when not connected to PC etc... Flickie HD caused mine
If you have a mac the fix is - disk utilities - repair card
Full format I found to be better though
so, I've encountered problems transferring files to the removable sd card, when i try to copy something it indeterminately sits on "discovering" and in the mean time it crashes explorer ( not internet explorer) and also the phone completely freezes and has to be restarted. same happens when i try deleting stuff out of the sd card from windows and mac as well.
the same does not happens to the internal memory. And so far this is what i have done to see if it fixes the problem:
tried a couple different sd cards- did not work (was able to get rid of some files, but then it just went back to do the same)
tried it on mac os and windows, same thing, it crashes finder/explorer.
so i was thinking, could be related to anything software? or maybe my sd card slot is shot? the computers and the phone itself recognizes the sd card no problem, so that's why i think it might be software related.
Anyhow, so i was wondering if anyone could shed some light my way ? :good:
thanks alot!
EDIT: if i reboot to the recovery and mount from there it seems to work and transfer files with no problem whatsoever....
Have you tried changing the connection to MTP?

edit: no never mind, now it says something along the lines of windows cannot identify the device connected.
Hi everyone, recently I've had 2 problems with my honor 8 pro. The first one is that suddenly, when I connect my phone to the pc and I select mtp the pc doesn't recognize it. It is a pc problem because on another one it works flawlessly. I can make it recognize it with hisuite but it doesn't serve the purpose of transferring files.
The second problem is that suddenly I can't delete files from my SD card.
Does any of you have any idea about one or the other issue?
Sandisk micro sd card? They have a 'feature' that if your card becomes (about to?) defective, it becomes read only.
Check another card to see if it works well.
Actually it's Samsung. I'm gonna try to format it when I get home
Hey guys and girls!
This morning my phone turned off by itself (13% battery left) and needed somewhat longer than usual to reboot (in the meantime I plugged it back in to the charger). First thing I noticed was that my whole theme got reset as well as it started showing me introductional tips ("long press here to move your apps to the homescreen, ecc.). It also started to update apps in the Play Store even though I set it to manual ... so basically a LOT of things were reset.
The biggest problem I'm having now is though that all my files (pictures, videos, music) that are stored on an external micro SD card are corrupt. It's not possible anymore to open anything. I already removed the micro SD card and put it into an adapter to have a look at the files via the laptop. But nothing, even though the sizes of the files seem OK, I can't open them.
Does anyone have a clue as to what exactly happened here? Are those files lost (at least of some I have a backup) or is there anything I can do to "repair" them? Help is really appreciated, thanks!
PS: Things like the card unmounting and re-mounting never occurred. So I can't tell if the card was dying or if actually the phone ruined my files.
Did you happen to be using a SanDisk SD Card? I've had my 10 brick 2 of those until I switched to Samsung SD Cards about a year ago and haven't had issues since.
I never could manage to recover files from the damaged SD cards.
I have a Samsung SD card and had something similar.
I guess I was on Viper Rom and basically my phone restarted around 15-20% of battery. After a long wait for booting back again, all my settings were gone.
Files and others in the SD card was okay but basically until I formatted the card, I wasn't able to boot into the Download Mode to install a new rom...
I fixed the restart issue by installing the official HTC Rom.
Thanks for your replies.
It is indeed a SanDisk 16GB card. It seems though that the card is still working (no problems accessing it via phone or laptop), just the files appear to be broken. In the meantime I also tried apps like PC Inspector File Recovery, but to no success
I'm still on stock HTC Sense by the way, no root, nothing.
Anyone know though why that happened (resetting everything, etc.)?
Hit me with a PM I'll give you a SanDisk restore tool which works quite ok. there is a huge chance some files can be recovered, some will be damaged though. Don't push any new files on the card after you tried to restore the files
HTC 10-Corrupted microSD card
I know this is an older thread, but I was wondering if there is a solution. I have an HTC 10 which has an micro SD card in it, that is "married" to the phone. When connected to a computer, the computer recognizes the phone, and the microSD card, and begins to load the folders/files. Eventually this process stalls, and the phone/drive is no longer readable by the computer. To get the computer to recognize the phone/card again, I need to restart the phone, but the same thing happens again.
I have like 20gigs of data on the card, and cannot just put the card in a reader, because it's encrypted to the phone. Any possible solutions? It's frustrating to see the files/pictures for a minute or two, and then have them disappear. I have tried copying/pasting the files while they're visible, but this often triggers the computer to no longer recognize the phone/memory card. I've tried to un-encrypt the microSD card, but the phone can't recognize/access the microSD card long enough to complete that process.
Please help if you can.
