Hi I have a problem with my new Defy. It comes with a 2 GB sd card. I wanted to change it for another 8GB sd card but when i do the change the mobile doesnt start! The motorola logo appears and after 5 seconds or so dissapears.
How can i change my sd card for another with bigger capacity?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry to ask, but you did format it?
Might be down to compatibility - alot of newer devices, especially smartphones, tend to prefer micro sd cards with faster speed ratings, eg class 6 or 10. If you've bought a cheap micro sd card, chances are it's a slow one and perhaps that's the reason your defy is choking on it?
At least you have your defy! Delivery of mine has been delayed due to the snow!
I have a class 2 8gb in mine. Doesn't cause any problems.

Solved! The problem was the partition file system, FAT32. I just removed the partition and now all goes perfect.
Thank you very much.

Hello! I called the customer service of O2 today. It says that a storage-card (MicroSD) for the XDA Orbit cannot bei bigger than 512 MB. I cannot believe that but is this correct? Does anybody know the maximum size for a storage card?
Not true - my Orbit runs fine with a 1Gb card, as does my MDAC3.
I am happily running a 2Gb card in my Orbit
Where's the limit?
What about 2GB or 4GB? Will they work with the XDA Orbit?

Hi,
I'm not as experienced as some others on this forum... I'm sure they'll correct my info
I spent a day or so seraching for info before I got my card, and FWI here are my notes:
2GB fine.
4Gb may be problematic.
Thickness of SD card may be a problem. The latch/Phone card has to be correctly clicked into place around the card.
Some makes of card seem better. Sandisk HIGH SPEED seem to be good.
I've got a 2Gb version and it's ok, but read others experiences in the forums.
I got both Lexar and CNex tools to check formatting could be done with full control and also to provide recovery possibility.
Hope that may help.
damned micro sd card
please can someone help?
i have a 1gb sandisk micro card which is being reported by my orbit as 512mb(minus FAT). i put it into my computer and it is clearly 1gb. i have tried putting more onto the card via the orbit, and it says "no more space", but it is fine via the pc. what's going on?!?
thanks in advance,
Tom
Maybe you should try WM5Storage and format SD card on PC. There is detailed instruction how to do it on forum.
afaik there are no 4gb micro sd cards. 2gb is max for them atm
I sell 2gb micro sd for the orbit on a daily basis and had no problems with them, I even use one myself.

not true i have one and its working!
Mobile 2007 .... what make and how I was under the impression 4GB were not compatible?
I'm currently using a 2GB Sandisk microSD card and it is perfectly working.
Regarding 4GB microSD cards, they are called microSDHC (High Capacity) and as far as I know, the Artemis is not able to read from of write to them.
That's what I thought but it appears mobile2007 has got it to work?
I've got a 1gig with all sorts on it. I think 2gig is the biggest at the moment.

So I bought a 16 GB class 10 microSD card for my Wildfire and it works perfectly:

I have an 8 gb kingston card, but I get the "SD card unmounted" message, and then even on PC, I have trouble reading it. After a format it`s ok for another week or so. I need to stop being cheap and buy a new one.

I bought a new Sandisk Micro SDHC 32GB UHS1 to increase a write/read speed to/from sd-card. But the problem is the sd-card steadily unmounted when I listen to the music or watch the movies. I think it‘s because of the class of the sd-card.
Can anyone confirm that this doesn‘t happen with the other class of the sd-card (with the same capacity of 32GB)?
I‘ll be very grateful for this.

I have a 32gb class 4 SanDisk MicroSD HC card, and I've actually never had any card issues at all, ie unmounting, corrupting, or anything weird. I've seen higher class 32gb cards, but I know how rare it is to have a microSD that doesn't ever give you any problems, so I'm sticking with my slower class 4 that has never let me down since I started using it about 5 months ago.
Well, I found the problem. Our devices are compatible only with microSD cards that have 2.0 interface like classes 2-10. UHS1 cards have a new 3.01 interface, therefore our devices don‘t support the new interface.

It's supposed to be backward compatible, but I guess things don't always work how they are supposed to.

I agree. With my Sandisk 32gb (Class 4), I formatted it as FAT32 with 64kb clusters from a card-reader on my PC.
I had unmounting issues as well, but I believe I incorrectly disabled something when I was debloating my Nitro...Once I started using CM9 though, the unmounting issues went away.
* If your Nitro is stock, then I would suggest trying to format your card from a PC and trying again.
* If you're rooted, stock rom and did some debloating yourself...Try getting your phone back to stock and see if you still have issues
* If you're rooted and would like to try a new ROM, definitely try CM9, that will take care of the bloat and potentially the unmounting issues.
Hmmmm I just bought a UHS-1 card, haven't opened it yet. Is this phone for sure unable to take advantage of it?

Try heading to http://www.sdcard.org and download the SD Card formatter. Format the card and see if it makes a difference (Needs to be done from a Laptop/PC). I know I had to do this with one of my external SD Cards and it started working again, but I did not have the same problem as you.
Hi there,
One of the biggest frustrations for me with my new HTC M8 has been SD cards.
All of my usual cards I use in various devices have all been too slow for Zoe so I invested in a Class 10 32GB. Get the same warning 'To enjoy a better Zoe experience, please use a higher class SD card' or a message very similar.
I've also had a few times when my SD card has become corrupt at various times.
Am I alone in experiencing these problems?

It may be the way the card is formatted.
I always reformat my card FAT32 before putting it into a new device. Once I put it in the new device, I then have the phone reformat it also... then move everything on to the card...
Hi,
I did all the steps you mentioned. Anybody recommend a fast card that dosent bring up the zoe pop up ?
Oh' Thanks for all your help.
I have the same problem with mine, it half corrupted itself today after i opened the camera app, the camera froze and the phone unmounted the sd card, i removed it and put it back in numerous times and it wouldn't read, had to put it into a friends Z1 to get the card back working, but now all the photos are deleted, luckily google backs them up automatically.
How could HTC mess up such an important feature on a flagship phone.
Mine does not have this pop up.
I am using a Sony Micro SD HC with a 10 in a circle (Class ten is that?), i1, 40mb/s, model SR-32UY
I bought it from tesco, 32gb, for about 20 I think, in the UK.
Zoe's record perfectly.
I formatted the card in my phone on Venom Rom.
Hi guys,
I doubt I'm the only one here.
I got my G4 (h812 LMY47D)and im ecstatic about using my micro sd slot (S6 was the main deal breaker paying top dollars for more storage) but now I'm running into issues with my Class 10 micros sd from Lexar, This darn software does not want to mount the thing (tried several format including a full 40 minute format @ fat 32 default allocation).
The G4 detects an SD card but won't mount it. This thing works flawlessly on my old S3 so it has to be software related as using a cheap Kingston 1gb class 4 works fine.
Anyone else running into issues with their sd card?
Thanks for sharing any info or tips.

FIX
Just taught of leaving what got me to sort this out after playing around... Fun times :good:
After tinkering around with another SD card, the LG device formatted it to FAT16.
I've formatted the sd card using http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html under FAT/Primary
It created a 4gb partition and left it the remaining untouch
Popped the SD on the G4 and it finally mounted the partition
Performed an erase via the phone 2x to make sure and the entire 32gb is now accessible.
Hope that helps others having mounting issues.

I have facing same problems with my 64 GB sandisk sd card on new LG G4
can you explain the procedure to make it work
I've been using an AData 128GB for the last month or so with no problems. I turned the phone on yesterday morning and for whatever reason it went straight to my home screen but locked up and took half a minute or so to unlock and then goes to the lack screen, then I also got a SD Card inserted notification, I figured nothing of it and ignored it. The micro sd runs fine on other devices (formatted as ex-fat) but it causes that issue on startup i mentioned above as long as it's in the phone and it also refuses to mount.
I'm using the SanDisk SDSDQUAN-200G-A4A 200GB ULTRA MICROSDXC UHS-I since 2.5 months ago formatted in exfat with 128k clusters which was what it was out of the package and it works fine.

SanDisk is the only one with something larger than 128GB at this point in time and notice it's 200GB instead of 256GB as size usually doubles in capacity, heard the 56GB was used for something else or maybe not usable. I have a new 200GB card in there now. There is a 512GB card coming soon from Microdia as well.
