DEFY SD card problem - Defy General

Hi,
I have a problem with DEFY.
Phone don't see any SD cards. After update to 2.2 - no changes.
Card is OK - on other DEFY works.
is any chance to fix it ?

afaik, some froyo cant handle high speed sdcard.. maybe that is your problem..

Yes, but I tried two cards (1 NO-NAME, 2 Sandisk class 4).
None works.

Have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159877

It seems to be a problem with phone, cards are ok:

HTC Desire - SD card issues

from y'day.. sometimes i get the below message when i switch the phone
"phone could not able to backup data to SD card"...
The phone seems to lose access rights to the SD Card, so nothing is displayed in the file manager (estrong or Astor) The only way to fix this is to restart the phone.
in the phone settings-> SD scard option, I still have the option to unmount the SD card.. but then I don't know who to mount it back.. the only way i am able to fix it is by restarting the phone...
from y'day till now I got this problem for 3 times..
Anybody else having problems with this? please help..
Hi, I have the same issuses. It is very annoying, especially when taking photos. I tried reformat card, but it worked only for a week. I have got euro version, firmware 1.15.405.4. I hope HTC will solve this issue together with multitouch issues in next firmware.
I bought a 16Gb card and cannot get it to work in the Desire.
I've tested it in the PC, formatted it etc but it still won't work.
I'm not convinced where the fault lies, with the card or the Desire.
I had a problem once with sd+camera app, but after a reboot everything worked
funny enuff. that happened to me 2 yesterday ?

One of my 16GB cards also got corrupted. I found it did not slide into the SDHC card slot properly and did become dislodged. Check to see if the SD card is inerted correctly. My replacement 8GB seems fine.

I have 16 GB Kingston Class 2 in my Desire and no problem so far, quite cheap too.
I have had this a couple of times.
Install the SDMount Widget. Unmount the card in settings, click the widget, back in business.
I'm experiencing this issue about once a week... :/

This doesn't work. I have the same problem as described above. I just ordered a new 8gb SD Card. I hope it's an SD card problem and not something wrong with the phone
Thread with same discussion here if you wanna check it out.
I've also been having SD card issues since I got the phone but yesterday things got worse!
After the problem occured again, I thought I'd try removing and reinserting the SD card (despite having done this before). When I restarted the phone it came up with a this message on the notification bar:
Blank SD Card
SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem.
I've tried reformatting the card in the phone, with the phone attached to my comp via USB, and with the card in a card reader. None of this works; the computer just doesn't recognise the card.
I've just emailed HTC support with the problem. I'll report back when I get an answer.
Also 16GB issue
Since a few days I have issues with my 16GB card also. I tried to install Navigon on the card by copying files directly to the card. After inserting it into the phone two out of three directories were empty....
Trying to copy fromt the pc to the Desire using it as a disk drive gave me the blue screen of death
I tried to install it using the original 4GB card and everything works like a charm
I tested the 16GB card (forgot what tool, it was a 1 month trial without write testing) and the card came out fats enough and without any bad blocks.
I will do a write test this evening (EU time) to see if I can fit 16GB ont the card, but everything points to the phone at this moment

I've had exactly the same problem which I posted about in another thread. Do let us know if HTC get back to you
Same problem with my Desire and a Sandik 16 Gb Class 2...
The card works fine on my mp3 player, but it is not recognized by the phone. I'm going to contact HTC, too.
My Desire has complained twice now that my 16GB SD card is damaged and needs to be reformatted. But when I put it in my Nokia N97, it works fine. The last time I did a disk check in XP, and that took care of the problem for a while at least, but it seems strange that the problem appeared in the first place.
Having invested in a 16gb class 2 Kingston card for my desire I can tell you that it brings nothing but grief. I then purchased a 8gb class 6 pqi branded card and found it to be flawless in performance. One thing I noticed with the class 6 card is the very fast speed in copying to and from the card. Much faster than the Kingston class 2. On the class 6 card I have never had corruption of data or any problem. I see comments posted that the class makes no difference. In my experience it makes a huge difference.
you guys are having issues with your 8GB/16GB cards, i was considering getting a 32GB a few days from now, after reading all this i'm having second thoughts.. does size matter ? (pardon the pun)
I don't think the size of the card should matter, but then again - it just might. I was wondering if there's a slight possibility my card got corrupted from when I've had it connected to my computer in disk mode. I only use the "safe disconnection of hardware" button in XP, but I don't select to unmount it on the Desire - it shouldn't be a problem, but perhaps that's how it got broken. Or perhaps it's just damaged and glitchy
Make sure the MBR is formatted too. Windows does not do this by default. Search for a tool on the internet.

[Q] SD card not working on Defy Froyo 2.2

SD card not working on Defy Froyo 2.2
Hello. I`ve got (apparently ) Moto Defy with official 2.2 Froyo.
A few days ago I bought "Adata 8GB microsd card Class6" and then the problems began. The phone began to freezes , crashes , etc... Before the Adata card I~ve been using several other cards with no problems at all. The biggest of the old ones is "Transcend microsd 4GB class6" , one of the smaller ones is "Sandisk 1GB" , and so on.... I havent experienced any problems with any of them, untill I took the "Adata 8GB" one.
ADDED (the micro sdcard is working flawlessly on my PC)
I`ve go back to the store I bough it ,and got a new one - again "Adata" - same problems !
I`ve read around the net and it seems that Defy has problems with some of the sd card-brands... There were a thread that says that the card will cause problem if it is LBA formated....
I saw that there is a thread in this forum for working,not working cards on Defy...
I`ve tried formated it in many ways , low lvl format ,deleting partitions ,SDFormatter, Acronis Formatter , disk management on Windows XP and Win 7, format under command prompt, etc...
No change.
Is there a way to "FIX" this "Adata" card so it can be used on my beloved Defy ,or I have to try to changed in again claiming warranty ? But how can I explain that the card is working flawlessly on everything else exept on my Defy ?!?!?
Hi, try to format with 64KB "Allocation unit size" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16796972&postcount=41

Tnx for the reply.
Just did it...... Same sh*t :-(. Sorry for the curse but I`m really p*ssed off with this card !
Any other ideas ?
No...
Class 2 and 4 seems to work..
Newsflash ! It worked ! First time I tried to format the card with 64k cluster under Command prompt under Windows XP on a computer in my work - there were no change .
But when I go back home I`ve formated it under Windows 7 - cluster size 64kb, FAT32, unchecked "Quick Format"" and voila - The card seems to work so far - more than 6 hours. So thank you very much airwolf1544 . I just hope that the effect wont be a temporary !
I have a class 10 32gb Lexus, And my phone will just randomly restart. Is that what yours did? Ie it would restart it self.
Defy on Froyo (also CM7, Defy CM7 uses froyos kernel) only support class 2 and 4.
higher than that, surely you'll get many many freezes.
use class 4 good
use kingnax class 10 always error

Didn`t know that :-( ! And it is GOOD to KNOW fact for every Defy user ! ! !
And to Cain0z - No restarts, mine "simply" froze and the only solution is to remove the battery.
Btw after the 64k format yesterday the phone froze after 5-6 hours and after that till today it works fine....
I don`t know , maybe I`ll try to change the card for another one - class 4...
Stupid software limitations :-( !

Desire freeze with 8GB SD Card

At the beginning sorry for my poor English. The problem with the phone looks like. When I was 4 GB SDHC card everything worked as it should be. But I wanted to change the 8GB SDHC card and I now have the same problems. The phone hangs (only helps to draw the battery), sometimes I have a message about the lack of SD card. I tested on different softs (Cyanogen, InsertCoin, Ace007, MIUI). At first I thought this is a problem with the card. But the two times I was in the complaint and the third I bought another card. Generally, the problem occurred on two cards, Kingston and currently on SanDisk.I have no ideas and the phone is unusable for weeks.
A few data:
- Desire GSM
- Android 2.2.3
- Kernel 2.6.35.14-gingercakes-0.9
- Radio 35.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Sierran.
i have sandisk 8gt memory card too and i dont have any probs.. weard, tried to format memorycard with phone?
Yep. Now i flash 2.3 from RUU.. I don't know what's wrong
@UP
Sorry for up but i really need a aneswer :< Today i have 3 freezes in music player app. Now software is orginal froyo 2.2 with stock Hboot.
Try another 8GB card, If everything was fine with the 4GB one, the card should be the culprit.
I tested 3 brand new SdCard's 2x kingston 8GB sdhc class 4 and one SanDisk 8GB sdhc and SanDisk is 100% orginal.
Last @up. If no responde then i close thread.
Hello,
I have the exact same problem.
I have a HTC Desire (GSM) which came with a 4 GB sd card in it, I never had any trouble with it untill now.
I just bought a 8 GB SanDisk sd card to replace the 4 GB one and now the phone freezes from 5 to 10 times a day.
The 4 GB card was a class 2 one, the 8 GB is a class 4 one.
I have to eject the battery and reboot in order to unfreeze the phone.
I was using latest Redux2 ROM, I tried latest cyanogen mod stable thinking the ROM was the origin of the problem => same problem again.
If someone knows how to fix/work around this problem I would be really gratefull
Thanks XDA guys !

32gb microsd SDHC problem!!

Hi,
I bought a trancend 32gb microsd SDHC class4 card for the note about 10 days back..Worked fine for 2 days then suddenly stopped working...Stopped working means does not get detected in the phone or on the laptop (there is no option for mount/unmount on the phone)..Ive tried my older 8gb card on my phone and that works fine..Ive also tried the screwed up card on my blackberry bold and it doesnt detect there as well..
Well, i thought its the card's fault and ordered a replacement...
They sent one and same story again!! worked for 2 days and same thing again
Now i dont know if its the card's problem or my phone's..Anybody with any idea??
PS - i am rooted and on criskelo v11.2 with speedmod 3-13 if it matters...also both times i had about 15gb of data in the card...
ive also tried blowing and cleaning the contacts..also tried inserting a piece of paper in the slot to cancel out loose contacts but nothing works
Thanks..

err..i dont remember
i formatted it using the phone before putting in files..so whatever the phone formats it as was there...
are there specifications to follow??
Very strange problem , but I am facing the same problem with a Trancend 32 GB card replaced twice and worked only for 1 day and then stopped recognising , not sure if it makes a diff the Mobo was replaced by Service center about 4 months back ,, may be a mobo fault? but my 16GB card just works fine
same thing happened to me also ..... i replaced a new 32g card let me see if it works fine or i will never buy another 32gb trancend card
since both r indians ill talk in tat context
flipkart now says they wont replace anymore and will refund the amount as credit! He also adviced that sandisk works better on the note for this capacity..i dont know wat logic he had! please do update if u find a solution/alternate
@anirudh - which company is that 16gb from? maybe ill have to make do with 16gb since 32 doesnt work
32Gb micro SDHC class 4 by Transcend, not recognised by GT N7000
Hi All,
I'm using a GT N7000 on Official 4.1.2 XXLT5 (recently updated). I'm using a Transcend microsd 32gb class 4 for about a year now with this note. But I'm facing this issue of 'blank SD' and 'unable to format' from 2-3 months now after I updated to one of the official OS upgrade.
I've tried reverting back to all the earlier versions of Android where it worked fine, but there seems to be no change. I can read the card using an external card reader in my laptop, but not through the phone.
I've tried formatting it to all the possible types (NTFS, exFAT, FAT32), nothing seems to work, for the note. I can read it on PC though.
I tried reading the same card in another device, but now it's not readable in that as well. Any suggestion/solution, much appreciated.
Thanks

Boot into recovery mode and go to mounts and storage. From there format the external memory card (format /sdcard). Alternatively you could try with a format from the "storage" in settings.
Use the card reader with ur pc. Go to disk management and format the card FAT32. Before formating, delete the partition/partitions on ur card. U should get unallocated space. Create partition and it should work. The big problem is that u may see some problems between note and 32gb card. The phone it may restart and u should go to recovery/download mode to restart it... good luck.

[Q] SDCARD file system damage issue

Hi,
I experienced following problems :
- flashed on my G3 (D855) Lollipop and after reboot, ADATA Premier Micro SDXC 64GB UHS-I got unreadable ... via Recovery software I got some of the data back, but big files were damaged (I thought it was related to Lollipop...)
- I flashed back to Cloudyfa 1.2 (can't live without XPOSED...), and experienced sudden restarts, while after the restart the sdcard was always unreadable... reformat always fixed it (using exFAT)
- so I thought that ADATA Premier Micro SDXC 64GB UHS-I is faulty and I will got it replaced under warranty
- but to be sure I put it into another device and it's working fine there since week !
- so I thought maybe there is some problem on LG G3, I purchased card Samsung Micro SDHC 32GB EVO Class 10 and guess what - again for a week so far running fine, without damage.... both cards are formatted under exFAT, I have tried to format ADATA it in the phone as well as in the computer....also performed quick and full format - no difference. Performing hard core test in the second device where the sdcard ADATA is still running fine - no issues (benchmarks, manually forced reboots etc.)
So what do you thing, where is the problem ? I can't explain it myself...
my phone did the same problem...
I found a solution. Connect you Sd card to you PC and delete the LG Backup... File it should work back
