SD cards have a write lock. This is a switch on the side of the card. The DOWN position is write protect ON and the UP position is write protect OFF. To use the device in a camera the position of the switch must be UP. It is a good idea to write protect a card with important data.

Or you can encrypt your data by using an app called truecrypt,you'll have to use google for that.

if the phone is stolen the person can just take the sd card out and use a reader to get the info. Is there a program that could encript or wipe the info on the card if I find the phone stolen?

yes... search the market, there are several. one of them is Lookout... it has the ability to track your phone if it is lost or stolen... it can also wipe your phone of all personal data if it is lost or stolen(not 100$ if it wipes sd card). just look around and im sure somehting will turn up. if you find an answer make sure you post back here so otherrs know.

last time i installed manila 2d..
but this think happened lastime copy file from PC
you've booted without the storage card inserted, just delete the 'storage card' folder (usually straight away after boot), rename 'storage card2' to 'storage card' then reboot! presto! wm will sort it out itself! no virus!

yes it works.. but did u knw how can be liike that?? i mean my storage2?? i think its a viruses.. before i know this guide, i just hard reset my fone
it does it because mail/messages is using storage card to store messages, so it makes the folders itself if card not present, as all folders are on root, the storage card gets renamed to '2' when inserted. no virus, its a feature!

Help with my DCIM directory

Hi all,
I am actually on here all the time I just dont post much. I recently did an NSFFAN flash on my touch. I have done a lot of them... I usually upgrade when the new ones come out. Anyway, I forgot to pull my mini-sd card out this last time and I have lost all my pics. I have read about this problem before but I am not sure about the solution. Here is a screen shot of what the directory looks like on XP.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Anyone know how to go about fixing this? I assume the pics are still there maybe the headers are just gone? Maybe somehow the flash overwrote everything? I would like to get them back. Any idea's?
Thank you in advance!
Oh, and the new 100Media has nothing in it... When I try to take pictures now they take but do not save anywhere.
what the hell?
Yeah thats kinda what I said... hahaha
I have left the micro-sd card in there before during a flash and never had any problems like this... I mean if I can't get all the pics back its not the end of the world... but it would be nice to have them.
Sorry to tell you, but your SD card is corrupted. The same thing happened to me once and erased my Autorun folder for my Garmin Mobile XT. My solution was to reformat and re-install my apps. Luckily I made a back-up of my pics somewhere on my PC and was able to restore them.
Ah bummer!
I have most of them backed up but not all of them. It's not the sd card because everything else on it is fine... something just went in and killed that one directory. Strange...

Storage card not read

I'm sorry if this was answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find a thread related to this....
My TP2 was acting up, so I soft reset. After Sense loaded, I got a message "Do you want to format this storage card to make it readable? This will permanently delete any files on the card". Now the phone is not reading a card anywhere.
Is there anything I can do to make it readable? I figure the easiest solution is put the card into my computer, copy all the files, put the card back in the phone and format it, and then put the files back on the card. However, I don't have a miniSD adapter, and I won't be able to get one til tomorrow at the soonest, and I kind of need this taken care of today. Any suggestions? I would appreciate it. Thank you.
yeah best bet would be to put it in a memory card reader and access it through your pc. probably got corrupt somehow. there are some recovery apps out there to get the most of the corrupt data out.
Have you tried plugging your device into your pc and setting it in disk drive mode to see if you can access your memory card?
also theres a really cool microsd usb card reader on amazon for $3.99 +shipping. I ordered one and it came in a couple days, its pretty slick. check it out here
good luck, oh and heres what the memory card reader looks like, comes in white or black.

That's great thanks
So does this mean we can run apps stored on the SD card? Will this affect performance?
I am living in a region which may not receive the 32GB model and so I am not sure whether the 16GB would be enough for games/apps.
Thanks!

So long as you use a class 10 ad card I see no reason why performance would be effected.

Sd card bug?

Hi!
I've updated my z1c to lollipop recently and I've occured a bug. Phone doesn't 'see' (recognize maybe?) my sd card I don't know what to do, it's annoying, but when I put out my card and put it right back in it shows me the access. The funny thing is that I can play songs in Walkman and I can see photos, but when for example I connect my phone to PC it shows me only internal memory. Anyone have the same thing?

I have the same problem , access to internal SD card denied with preerooted 270 rom. I had the same problem with Nordic and Baltic Had to go back with nandroid since phone was kinda useless. I guess the solution is really simple and hope someone smarter can point us in the right direction.
I really hope so, 'cause it's annoying
