Help issues with Kingston 16G card with A2SD - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I've recently changed my SD card to a 16G Class 10 Kingston card, and having huge issues with roms with A2SD. The issue i have is as follows
ROM takes a long time to flash, but boots up ok. A2SD is working - apps are being installed to EXT3.
When i reboot the rom, it usually does not start up again - it remains on the HTC white boot screen. If i remove the battery and reboot - it boots up ok, but then i get force closes on random applications.
I have formatted the card using ROM Manger, GParted and Mini Tool Partition. I can not seem to resolve this issue. I have checked the Card, and all seems ok
Looking for ideas.......
Thanks

Kingston SD cards have serious compability issues. I experience similar issue with a Kingston SD card.
The only reccomendation I can make is to sell it and get a Transcend SD

Issues with a bigger SD Card

I bought a Transcend 16Gb Class 6 sd card for my desire.
Because the phone is rooted and running A2SD+ i partitioned is using Gparted: 1st partition 15GB FAT32; second 1GB EXT3 - no swap.
Used this in my phone. All was fine for a while. Then i started having apps disappear on me. When i tried to re-install the apps the phone would just reboot.
Proceeded to go back the stock 4GB card, no issues.
So i believe its an SD Card problem. However in my pc, i dont have any issue reading this card.
Anybody else experience similar?
Should i get a replacement card?
Anything i might be doing wrong?

The reason it reboot is that part of the app is still stored on internal memory so when you try to reinstall it it will reboot as it cannot install part of an app.
You don't need a replacement card all you need to do is restore a nandroid backup which then adds the data from the SD-ext partition to the new card and then it should work if you haven't got a backup you will have to re flash the Rom and reinstall all the apps via the market or with titanium or my backup
Hope this helps
Sent from my HTC Desire
I have done a full nandroid backup and restore from the working 4GB card to the 16GB. Did this a few time over as I experimented with different EXT3 partition sizes, thinking that a 1GB partition might have been too large.
I didn't have the reboot issue, but apps would lock up, and in some instances the phone would say the SD card is read only.
downloaded an ran a program to test the card (http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/H2testw.shtml). It came up with no errors.
Any other checks i can run?
My 4Gb card works flawlessly, but the 16gb has so many issues. Really confused.
Example: When viewing pictures, in the gallery (nexus gallery) the pics take a long time to load on the 16Gb, no issue on the 4GB.The force closes. The apps disappearing, and then phone rebooting when reinstalling.

[Q] strange problem with memory card

Hello, I have a HTC Desire, and I have a problem with memory cards. I bought a 8gb class 4 card and the phone began to crash and restarira permanently. I thought that the problem is in the card and bought another - again the same way. Was previously with 4gb, no problems. If you have ideas please let decision. Use MildWild CM-3.8

Try Reflashing ROM.
or Use CM7.1
First, put back the memory card you were using before you had this problem (the old one) and flash the ROM you were using before you had this problem, now your phone is back the way it was (without changing the SD card)
now for the SD card, I'm not sure about that, but I saw a forum that says:
"you have to copy all the files from the old SD card to the new one and then change it and it will work fine" but you have to do this after doing the step I said before, Good luck
Hello,
i have a similar problem.
Recently i root my htc desire (first time after 18 month on original froyo 2.2) and succesfully flash a CM 7.1. For this change i removed the old 4gb card and i used an 2gb card, everything works CM is very fast.
Now i want a bigger card so i buy a 8gb class 10 kingston, i copy the partition from 2gb card to this new 8gb with gparted. The phone starts ok but after few minutes if i use an app on sd or an app that use sd (e.g. quickpic or es file explorer) the phone hang i cannot shutdown only restart removing the battery.
Now i return using the 2gb card. Is the 8gb class 10 uncompatible? or maybe an error on this sd? or i have to follow a different procedure to pass from one sd to another?
Thank you for any suggestions

As already stated above if you are moving critical Files to SD card then you must copy an entire Old SD card to New SD card. There is a way out of this just create a Nandroid backup in old Sd card and copy the nandroid backup in new SD Card and then just restore via recovery. Everything would be fine after doing so.
I follow your advise, i re-partition the sd (1 fat32 and 1 ext4 as in old 2gb sd), make a nandroid backup, insert the new 8gb sd and restore the nandroid backup.
Everything works, i can move 2 app to sd... and after i take a picture with camera and then... all apps that use sd hangs: es file explorer, gallery, camera, manage app,... and after a while the phone hangs i cannot shutdown... i remove battery e reuse the old 2gb sd
I was very happy after (my first) nandroid backup and restore, but now i'm very sad, maybe there is something wrong in the 8gb sd
thank you
I tried everything you wrote, but to me does not work for both cards. Yesterday I bought a 4gb and I gave up trying. Thanks for helping.

[Q] which brand of sd card

i know a class 6 is the best choice
so i got a sandisk class 6 and created an ext4 partition
and my rom started freezing
through process of elimination i figured out that two partitions on a class 6 sandisk sd card causes it to auto unmount
which is why the rom froze
anyone with a different brand that hasn't faced such issues?
What did you partition you sd-card with?
i tried with g-parted and 4ext recovery partiton
they both react the same way

Can't move apps to SD

Hi guys I was just having a problem regarding my 32Gb Lexar SD card speed class 10.
I recently flashed PAC ROM the latest nightly with GApps 5.0 pico and ever since I am having troubles with my SD card. I am unable to move any apps tommy SD card it says I don't have any storage left on it when it is virtually empty! It is fat32 the default which worked and I tried other formats too.
I tried using link2sd but when I try it it says [INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR]
Please help it's been bugging me for a while now

SD card is always corrupted after 6.0 update.

My SD card is always corrupted. I tried using different SD cards even i bought a brand new SD card and it is still giving me issues . I did a factory reset and still does the same. Anyone else with the same issue?
What's the capacity and speed of your SD card? How are you formatting the SD card? Do you use it preformatted or format using the phone? The reason I'm asking is it seems to me that Sony has set a too low timeout values for formatting and mounting the SD card. So if your card is very big or not fast enough, the phone would timeout too early when formatting and/or mounting the SD card on boot, thus causing it to be detected as corrupted. At least that is how it seems on my phone.
perhaps have reset your phone from previous backup ? if this is the problem already happened to me ,
They are both high speed cards 10 cards Toshiba and Samsung to be more specific. When i format them they seem to kinda work at the beginning i even managed to copy a video file but after a phone restart it gets corrupted .
MM updated through xperia companion here, seems to be working normally with the old microsd card
Hi Team,
I also have the same issue here, whenever I move applications to SD card (Samsung Class 10), the application stops working and I have to
reboot the phone to have it running again. Though it happens only... when phone is from Doze mode, turned on the screen with power button, and after turning on mobile data and run the app like COC or Viber it crashes. Now this happens only, if my application is in SD, if it's on the phone it's working fine.
Hello everyone.
I also have this problem. I have a Sandisk ultra (red and grey) 32gb class 10 sd card, and my M5 on 6.0 cannot format it at all, first it says it's corrupted and I have to fix it, then the format screen is stuck on 20% and after a while it says the card cannot be formatted. The card isn't counterfeit, and it worked flawlessly in my m4. It was replaced under warranty because I presumed it became faulty, and I still have the same problem. There is no problem with it on my PC. Also the phone freezes when the card is removed and I have to turn it off with a paperclip on the small "off" button.
You have sd card restrictions on 6.0, so you can use it for media, can't move apps... I've got Transcend sd card class 10, no problem at all.
I know about the SD card restrictions but my card was working fine in 5.1 for storing photos and videos taken by the camera applications . Now i have tested even more cards and they all have the same behavior. Even with an 4GB and 8 GB Toshiba cards and an old 2GB transcend card.
tonev, how are you formatting the card?
On the phone it self. Also tried to format it on my laptop , Same result. Sometimes it works fine and after i restart my phone it gets corrupted again
any news or fix here? seems we're stuck with this sd behavior? can't really move apps to sd card?

Is it correct to assume that you restart the phone only using the default power menu and not using any third party interface?
Another thing, it is not advisable to format the SD card using Window's Format function. It is possible to damage the SD card this way. The safest way to format an SD card in Windows is by downloading and using the SDFormatter utility. I don't know if formatting you card in Windows is what has caused your SD card to be corrupted, but it is something to be considered.
Yes i do restart the phone only by using the default power button. menu. And none of my cards are corrupted because they work fine on other devices. As i said before a brand new never used genuine samsung SD card does not work on the phone.
