Hello,
I have now for one week a MDA Varia V (its a brand of t-mobile, but its a copy of this phone i think...)
I have 1 problem with my memory card, he disapear most of the thime when i reading somthing from it.
So let me explain:
When i put music on my memory card true the phone and i want play the music, after some seconds/minutes the music stop playing and in the music player i get first a message that its searching, and after that i get the message that there is no music (get those message in dutch), when i go look for the memory card, they dont find the memory card.
And somthimes the same problem happend when i connect the phone to my pc and select the "hard drive" function, than i putting somthing on the memory card and suddenly the card is away, and when i transfer somthing i get the message that the hard drive is lost, or somthing.
Have sombody the same problem and know sombody a solution for this.
PS: the memory card was in the box of the phone, and i called for support to t-mobile (there always helping with phone related problems) but after on the phone for almost a hour they also dont know the problem and suggest i go search the internet if there more people with this problem and how they solved this.
Sorry for my bad english
RTFM. Your storage card will not be accessible if you connect to your PC as external drive. This is normal.

Euhm when you cant get to your storage card when you connect your pc to it, how do you put data (songs and so) on tho your card?
wat i forget to say above, when i put the card out and back in, or when i restart the phone, everything is normal again (till the problem start from the binginning)
Let me rephrase...
Your storage card is not accessible on your device if it's connected as external drive to your PC. That is, you can't see the storage card if you browse to it using file explorer on your TP2. But you can see it on your PC's file explorer.
yes thats wat i mean, i go to "my computer" i click on my phone and normaly you see 2 "drives" one with the name "/" thats your local drive and one have the name " memorycard" when i go to memorycard and want put some data on it, 9 of 10 sudenly the memorycard is gone after some thime, so the transfer is failing, when i go back to the phone i only see the "/" drive and the memorycard drive is gone, and the only solution is that i take out the memorycard out and put it back in, or to restart the phone.
Sounds like the issue is with your USB cable. Use the original HTC cable and take care to not touch your device after you plug it in. If you still have problems, then you may have to bring it in for servicing. Perhaps the device's USB slot is faulty.
that wil resolve the problem when conect to the pc, but when there is music on the card and i play it on the phone the sd card is also sudenley away. and when i place the music at the device itself isnt that problem, and i use the same (origanal) cable for this.

I did have about the same problem in that my HTC would 'lose' the card after a certain - variable - time. I did always have to open the backcover, remove and replug the card and it would work again for a certain time (sometimes some tenths of minutes, sometimes a day).
Meanwhile I found a solution that works: Advanced Configuration Tool (Freeware)
http://julien.schapman.free.fr/touchxperience/advanced-configuration-tool.php
In the 'Power Management'-section of this program I enabled the 'SD Memory power management' and since then my HTC didn't 'lose' the card again
Maybe this will help you too for your problem
When i start the program i get a error message and a text saying me that the program need a newer version of microsoft .NET compact Framework.
Where can i install this new version?
have found and installed the 35 version form the microsoft website.
after that i install the program and do the settings you told, restart the phone, but have already the same problem...

It sounds as though you have corrupt files or bad sectors on the SD Card.
Backup all data on the SD, do a full format on pc using default allocation size and copy data back.
This will resolve your issues.
Cheers,

Anyone know of an application that will allow me to check the micro SD card is OK ?
I suspect I have a fault in the card as I had to recopy 2 folders and the PC can't read the card directly.
It would be nice to check first without going through all the backup and restore time (16 gigabyte card).
Thanks, D.

I've never heard of a WM program to do this but you could try putting the card in your pc and using Scandisk command.

Thanks - but the PC does not recognise the card !!
But, you've given my the idea to try it directly from a DOS window using scandisk from the command line.
Thanks, D.
Active Sync?
Will you get access to the (corrupted) storage card while connected your THD with activesync?
Other way to check could provide EasyRecovery from OnTrack and your THD has to be connected in diskdrive mode.
In generell I used a tool named h2testw - which was developed by a German Computer Magazin called CT. http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/h2testw-14-gold-standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/
This is the best one to check physical errors on every externel memorycard connected through USB. It has to be used on a new formated card.
Thank you for the tips I will explore those.
I'm not sure what the problem is. I can see the card via active sync but not via USB style connect.
I can not see the card when I directly connect it via a card reader.
I was able to use a different card OK and reinstall my GPS app (Route 66) which had gotten screwed up by this card "fault".
I'll report back on results ...
Hmm
These two don't work because I can't see the card from the PC (except via activesync)
There is a file called "~Recycled" in the storage card which does not show in the standard pocket pc file explorer but does show up in total commander.
Maybe that is causing a problem - will investigate on google what this is.

Noop - that's not it. Apparently this is just a delete folder from Resco File Explorer. It should not stop the PC from seeing the card.
Searching further ...
same problem here, I am contacting Orange to try to get a replacement. Not sure if its under warranty.
Try Pocket Mechanic for PPC... it has a Scan Disk utility amid a collection of others.
Successfully repaired my micro SD card with this when my HD was having problems reading my storage card some 3 days back.
Good luck!
Hi.
in a short time my htc no longer recognizes the memory card, i don't know what to do, I tried to hard-reset but did work. someone can help me.
thanks
I have had the same problem using a sandisk 16GB card, it stops recognising the card. What I did was re format the card & reload my contents, it then works ok but I dont know why this happens. Can anyone help?
Hi,
I had a similar problem, (the micro SD was recognised but after when the card was accessed it seems the driver crashed and the micro SD was not anymore availlable until I eject and insert the card again).
The solution I found was to plug the phone in storage mode and to make a scandisk of the micro SD.
It found some errors and all was corrected.
I hope it could help
I already tried with other cards and it always happens the same, does not recognize the card.
which leads me whatever the problem is not the card but the phone.
Loose contact?
Mine is similar. I tried sticking two layers of adhesive tapes on the back of the card ("MicroSD" label side), it worked for a few days. Since yesterday evening it's dead again, and wouldn't work with even three layers!
I had the same problem but solved as follows.
First connect to PC as ""Disk Drive" (not thru active sync). Than in "My Computer" you will see the card. Than format the card as FAT32 (64 kb).
After that, right click and select "Properties">"Sharing">"Advanced Sharing" and check the "Share this directory" and close clicking on "Ok".
Disconnect the phone and reconnect via "Active Sync" (do not forget to deselect click under "Active Sync" connection type).
I hope it helps.

format Storage Card?
How? It is a micro sd, and I can't find anything that will reformat it, which is supposed to be a likely requirement in getting android running
I suffered a similar problem on my HTC Touch Diamond2 after upgrading from WM 6.1 to 6.5. After much research, a found one article that indicated the problem may be possible due to different chipset configuration for the SD memory card being incompatible with the ROM. It suggested the Japan-made SD card maybe more compatiable with WM compared to the Taiwan made memory card. I switch to a Japan made chip and everything is great

So how do I format/recover the files? Or is there another fix for this issue?

I use my digital camera for formatting „broken“ SD cards
Cameras just use different memory card detection method, so the card could be formatted
i put it in a old nokia of a friend and the nokia asked if i wanted to format the card to make it usable and i chosed yes and it worked

This solution worked.
I had a little problem with the formatting part the computer giving "Windows cannot complete format" or something similar but I solved the problem apparently.
To solve the problem:
- Right-click on "My computer"
- Click "Manage"
- Under "System Tools" Click on "Device Manager"
- Click the "+" beside Disk Manager
- Right Click on the device (Your HTC)
- Select properties
- Click on the "Policies" tab
- Select the "Optomize for performance" radio button
- Click ok
- Go to "My Computer" select your device
- Right-click "Format"
And that's it.
Hope you find it useful.
Hi there!
I'm getting the above also now I have an Htc Desire and get a symbol at the top left of the microsd symbol with a cog next to it ... booo.
This was after i installed a 16gb microsdhc class 10, as opposed to the 4gb microsdhc card that came with it.
I'm confused with the 'how to' above by tavsiyeci. Can you break it down more for the computer noobs in us? I've tried a few different methods but still no luck
Thanks if possible!
J
None of the above solutions worked for me, I tried several cards and still cannot get any of them to work.
The strange thing is, that after a ROM flash the cards works for a couple of days, then starts to disappear randomly, and at the end disappeares forever (until next flash).
Can you please advice me on another solution, if any?

I did it like this:
- insert card to PC via USB adaptor
- run chkdsk via win or cmd line, write CHKDSK X: (X as your flashcard letter)
- after check is complete, explorer should see card normally, so use "ARDC Data Recovery Tools 1.1" (free)
- Tools-Image backup/restore, Create Image from Disk, select card as image disk source and browse your new image, name it like "backup.img"
- after recovery is complete, use any image tool (I'm using UltraISO) to extract data from image
- format SD card and copy stuff back
Can we have a recommendation for the type of SD card to use?
Because I used an older type and it was terrible, but now that i have used a newer SD card it is doing alright.
I also do not need to do the waiting for SD card modification in the startup.txt
Hi!
I tried searching the forums for the problem but couldnt find anything related to mine!
I have a problem where the phone suddenly just says "No write access to file" when i try listening to stuff on spotify, take pictures etc... Yet i can access the SD on ASTRO.
Has anyone else noticed this one? Any tips? Rebooting the phone fixes the issue for a while.
Same issue here. I found in other android related forums a lot of people complaining about this as well - seams there's no solution yet (reboot helps in my case - format the card didn't). Some people reported that a change of the sdcard hasn't solved anything. I guess we have to replace the device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673110
Don't give up yet, if you are running a task killer, remove it and try without it.
As I said on the other thread, I removed it and I'm now testing it. Atleast now it seems to sync Spotify's offline playlists without errors..

I have no task killer running but still the above mentioned issue. I also removed the sd-card and put it back in several times. I cleaned carefully the contacts of the sdcard, removed ALL apps but it still happens every other day.
And no, the desire wasn't plugged into the pc via USB. m(
i had the similar kind of issue. when I switch on the phone from standby mode.. sometimes it says "cannot backup the phone data.. SD card not accessble". When I opened the Estronge File manager I can see no files under the SDcard..
This problem has started to me only after I have installed ebuddy and started using it. Then I have uninstalled the ebuddy and till now i did not get this problem again (3days tested after uninstall)
You can give a try by uninstall any recently installed apps.. my doubt is some apps are creating this issue on slow writting SD cards (my Sd card is Class 2)..

Been there, done that! *sigh* It happens also with no apps installed (plain stock)
Also just happened to me after installing a Touchdown update - camera was reporting no access to SD card and Astro (file navigator) was showing some weird behaviour (opening the 'download' folder took me back to the home screen)
A reboot appears to have solved it but a bit worrying
Not sure if this is 100% related, but I'll include it here. This didn't happen to me at the start but has started happening in the last few days.
I've had my phone set up to connect by default as a disk drive without asking me. Now when I connect to my computer, I get the message on my computer that there is something wrong with the drive and it needs to be scanned and corrected. I don't because I don't always trust Windows auto corrective measures, you can't always go back.
The problem really kicks in when I connect my Desire to the computer and it (the computer) says card needs to be formatted. As soon as I get this message, I know it's all over. I can't access the SD card on computer or from the phone. When I disconnect, the phone says the SD card is empty, and I get the small SD card with question mark up in the top right of the notification bar.
My system is running Win 7 x64.
I get the same problem every other day with the "cannot backup the phone data.. SD card not accessble". I also got an error message when trying to download an email attachment saying that there was no storage space but Astro shows around 6gb free on the sd!

you have another sdcard than the stock SanDisk 4GB card, I guess? If so, could you tell us what sdcard you are running?
I have had the same problem as reported above (backup error) recently. A reboot solves it, but not permantely.. (I also had a problem where the home screen froze, but the lockscreen worked fine. I guess it could be related but I don't know...)
It's a bit annoying with these kind of problems..

It just happen again after I replayed to a text messages..
I started my terminal emulator and checked if the sd card was still mounted (which it appeared to be). But noticed that it's set to remount as read only on errors (Not saying it's the problem, just that it may be the cause of the symptoms..)
Then I checked the rights (ls -l -d /sdcard) It was set to ---rwxr-x (owner: system, group: sdcard_rw) = Owner has no rights, group has full right and others read & execute only..
Also one thing I noticed was that the date was set to 1970-01-01 01:00 (aka start of "unix-time"). That can happen, but it still seemed a bit strange..
BUT: Apparently, that is the way it's "supposed to be", as after a reboot it says the same..
This was just an update on my experience with this error, and what I've tried (so far)..
Stock Rom and card and it is happening to me periodically.

Update: A working solution?
I read on another forum where they (Vodaphone actually) recommended that you reformat the card if you have this sort of problems... So I thought: What a heck.. It can't become worse..
These is the steps that I did (pretty straightforward..) and it works (for about two days now without any big problems..)
Backup the card
You probably don't want to do that using Windows... (You can download free Linux Live-CDs from Ubuntu.com or other places)
Why?? For me, and I don't doubt you may encounter something similar, Windows wanted to reformat the SD Card before it mounted it (DON'T do that if you want to backup your files [and I'm not sure on what the phone would think about that]).
I guess it could work Fine in Mac OS X (but I haven't tested..)
Reboot the phone (mine had trouble recognizing the card after I had disconnected it from the computer)
Go to Settings > SD and phone memory (* ) >Unmount SD Card > Format SD card
Reboot again (not shure if it's needed but just to be sure)
Connect to the computer and put your data back on (be careful, the best is perhaps to only transfer "your stuff" and not replace any files that already are on the card). AND BEFORE you pull out the cable, make sure you unmount the card from your computer!!!!
Done!
(* Translated from Swedish, don't know what it says exactly in English.. )
If you need directions for how to use Linux for this, feel free to contact me..
Try doing a google search for h2testw its a bit of software that can be downloaded that test SD cards and removable drives. I recently had a problem with a new card ran that and it told me that the card had a problem, I sent it back and got a new card and don't have any problems now although they were different to what you were experiencing.
I get the same issue about once enery couple of days. I'm first alerted to it when I get a notification saying the automatic backup has failed, then no writes are allowed to the SD card. It's solved temporarily by rebooting.
Phone is stock, Orange ROM, stock 4Gb card. I use HTC sync and often use the phone in disk drive mode.
Simple damaged SD card...

All my issues disappeared after i removed the task killer.
Just today, I've started getting issues. It *only* happens when I try to open Spotify. It was working fine this morning on my way to work, but now every time I open the app, the SD card gets mounted as read only. I have used Quick App Clean Cache, and wiped the cache within Spotify itself. Rebooted, powered off, removed and reinserted SD card, and nothing fixes it. ****ing annoyed and pissed off that this keeps happening.
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
I am basically having an issue where I can take pictures with the stock camera, but if I plug the phone into my computer the pictures wont be there. And then after disconnecting the phone, the pictures will have been deleted from the DCIM folder. Oddly enough though, after a reboot, it will function normally for one cycle of (taking a picture, viewing it in windows explorer, and then disconnecting the phone). Anything after that and no "new" photos will show up in windows explorer.
I was running Mikg 2.55, but in hopes of it simply being a bug I have wiped multiple times and tried a different ROM. The issue is still identical though. My only thoughts left are a possibly faulty sd card at this point, but it is odd that everything saves and works fine on the sd card as long as I don't plug it into the computer and enable "disk drive".
Thanks for any advice or input everyone.
did you try a different sd card?

I have not yet, I unfortunately do not have another sd card available at the moment. But I have the feeling that is ultimately what it'll come down to, to try and narrow the problem.
If you can get everything backed up to your computer, try formatting the card & only move back the necessary files.
It could also be your computer or something on your computer. Does it happen if you mount as disk drive to another computer?

I have backed up the SD Card and formatted it multiple times, the symptoms remain the same after the format. I've dealt with corrupt sd cards before and this is odd in how it acts.
So if I use a file browser on the phone and create an empty folder, it won't be there on the computer when I connect and use as "disk drive". The folder is essentially deleted the second the phone is plugged in. But, if I create the folder from windows explorer onto the phone, and then unplug it, the folder is still there.
I don't have a second computer to test it on, but this does seem like a rather odd problem....

I think you have something set on your pc that is acting up with the phone. I would look through your user access and controls and see if anything strange has access to things its not supposed to.

That was my thought as well, I've noticed that I can take pictures on the phone and the computer is unable to see those photos in windows explorer. But when I disconnect the phone, the photos show back up in gallery and android file explorer. If I restart my phone, then the photos will show up in windows. Of course, then the process repeats for any kind of new picture (or any file created on the phone side).
Also, windows seems to be prompting to scan the sd card for errors most of the time now when I plug it in. That may be an indication of it thinking files are corrupted. I also loaded windows into safe mode to try and rule out any outside program influence on the windows side, same symptoms occurred though.
I have a very similar issue where any pics I take show up as corrupted files when I plug the phone in and sync it. When I do, I get the popup telling me I need to scan my card and it always finds errors in the cache files for pics in the MIUI folder and deletes the pics that gave me problems.
The whole time I can see them in the Gallery, etc, but not on my computer when the phone is sync'd.
If I don't do the scan, when I flash a new version of MIUI, they're fine, until I take more pics, and then it starts all over again with those
Update: Got around to plugging the phone into another computer in order to rule out any software issues. The issue remained the same.
But, finally got a hold of an old micro sd and transferred over all the files to it. Changing out the sd card has fixed the issue, there are no more pictures being deleted or windows errors in regards to corrupt files.
As odd as this was with the previous sd card, I have no choice but to believe it is faulty beyond repair. I have attempted to reformat it multiple times, quick and full formats. Also let windows do a full scan for bad sectors on the sd card, but in the end the problem still remained.
I believe I will step up to a higher end memory manufacturer for my next sd card, in hopes that I can avoid this happening in the future. Just as an FYI, my current sd card was a 16gb San Disk (Class 4).
>: Maybe it's time for me to replace my card too. Hell, it is 2 yrs old.....
