Have you formatted the sdcard to fat32?
sent from my android powered beast!
yes i have...also it was already in fat32!!hmmm..i did make a partition of 1gb ext2 for link2sd..but now am not able to view in in the partition manager......now i have only around 6gb for use...but that doesnt matter..i just want my card to be recognized in my phone!!
Some class 4 cards are not recognised. What class is yours?
i dont know...how do i find class f the card..its sandisk card that i bought..i m from india..also initially the card was working fine..after i made the partition this morning it stopped working...also card is mounting in clockwork mod recovery without any errors...so i guess theres no problem with the card..
P.S--if i revert back to non rooted stock HTC, will this be fine??

solved it finally...it was a simple step...i had to make a partition in the sd card through cwm and give the swap size as 0..finally its working..thanks for ur support guys!!
No Luck For Me
I believe it may just be a hardware issue I am having. But maybe someone can point me out to something helpful.
I put the card in, it is not recognized, by either the phone, or by CWM
With the phone on, and in 'Settings' -> 'SD & Phone Storage', the card does not appear. I slowly pull the card out, and 'Mount SD' & 'Erase SD Card' both go from unavailable (greyed out), to full on available and White for a split second. After that nothing...
It does this with 3 different cards. an 8G Class 4, a 2G Class 10, and a 2G Class 4
I've contacted HTC about it, but who knows when they'll get back to me. Anyone here know of a solution?
Try formatting the sdcard or reset phone.

Sorry. Tried that too. Multiple times
---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------
It's as if the contacts inside the phone are screwed up. Like I said, when I pull the card out of the phone, while in the settings, it recognizes it on the way out for a split second.
I've been trying for the last half-hour to try to get it right to that point where it flashes the 'mount' to white... but I must just have goofy thumbs, because I can't quite get it...
Following you I have lost all my datas from SD card

Bought a new 8GB Kingston class 4 sdcard, put it into the phone, partitioned, reflashed the Rom, rebooted... voila! Phone says there's no sdcard. In recovery it's all right, but after booting the rom there's no sdcard, and under Settings->Memory it just asks me to insert sdcard. Help pls, anyone.
BTW, device is PVT1 AMOLED running BCM RC4.1U2, and it was just fine with my previous card (4GB Sandisk).

Did you do correct partitioning? FAT32 needs to be the first partition and ext4 the second. I had similar problems once, and it was because of that. If that's all done correct, try if you can read it in a card reader.

Mate, it's not the first sdcard in my life FAT32 first, ext4 second. Repartitioned about ten times, tried fat32+ext4 and fat32 only. No go. The card can be read through recovery (usb storage) and with card reader. Also, it perfectly works on Nokia phone (6300 if i remember correctly).
Could my problem be Rom related?

Sorry bout that, it's getting a bit difficult with all the noobs around. I'd see if it persists on other ROMs, sounds like a problem there.

I'm using aLenovo A7000 running on ressurection remix V5.5.9 in which i don't have the option to unmount my sd card.Please suggest me a way to do it and also while transferring files from my pc on my phone...i switched my phone from a mass storage device to the'charging only'option and after that my phone doesn't get recognised at all by my pc as a usb mass storage device.... And i can't even find those options anywhere in the settings and usb debugging also isn't working.Pls help me ASAP!
My 16gb SD card also does this. Before it started though, all of my music files on it became damaged, but would still play partially, then end prematurely. I think this may just be cheap ass SD manufacturing. I say just boycott SD and get the Samsung card.
Solution / Fix:
Install Wake Lock PowerManager on google play. Enable Partial_Wake_Lock then viola! No more unmounted / eject problems. The problem is everytime your mobile is in sleep mode, the unmounting error occurs.
Also install SD Card Monitor to check the counter of mounted/unmounted/ejected sdcard.
Hope this helps.

Stupidest post 2016
Hey everyone,
I've been looking everywhere to get some help with a problem I have with my 32GB SD card.
I'm using an Xperia Play (R800) rooted, unblocked and bloteware removed. Whenever I try to move files, I use one of 2 methods:
1) moving files by connecting the phone to my PC via USB cable and dragging files
2) unmounting the SD card from the phone and use a card reader to move files
In both cases, no matter how I try or how I move the files, eventually the phone will either freeze / freeze + reset / reset / or everything combined several times. Once the system boots up again, it restarts itself several times while trying to read the memory card.
This is really frustrating because it happens to me for the past 4 months, ever since I bought the phone and tried working on it. No matter what I try to do, I always end up with this problem, which eventually leads my SD card to randomly delete files. This includes music, transferred PSX games and such. It's really bugging me, and I really need some help.
If anyone can help me out, I'd deeply appreciate it.
Thanks a bunch in advance
NOTE:
The card was later formatted to 2 partitions: FAT32 and EXT2. This DID NOT help, so re-partitioning my card won't help. Think of something else.
Repartioning your sdcard over and over can result to data loss. Why did you have 2 partitions? You should only be using FAT32 as your primary partion.

I only did that once, and it doesn't have anything to do with the data loss as this happened before I partitioned the SD card. I have 2 partitions for Link2SD app. And even if I do have FAT32 as my primary partition, it still deletes my files at random...
I have 2 partitions for same reason as you Link2SD! That should not be a problem.
Couple of questions
(1) Is this a new SD card and have you used the card before on other phones (Could be a fault with card try different SD card)
(2)Have you been on the same rom since this problem started (If yes i would try a different rom could be a software problem.)
I would try these options to narrow down what the problem is seems like you have tried all the partition and formatting options already :fingers-crossed:

To answer your questions:
1) This SD card has not been used on other phones since this is my FIRST smartphone (took me a while to move to the next step )
2) I never use roms, only the default stock rom.
I find it hard to believe that the SD card is the problem, but what do you think?

I think only way to know if SD card is to blame is try another one,there are apps on Google Play that can test SD card but I don't know how reliable these are.Also you said you deleted bloatware did you delete something you should not have?It would be good if you could try another card then you would know for sure a smaller SD card just to test?
Well, oddly enough the problem WAS the SD card all along! I've been trying a new SD card for the past week and everything went smoothly.
Funny, but the solution was only to replace my SD card.
With that in mind, I'm changing my question. I guess there have been many posts about it, but I'm going to ask this anyway:
What would be the best SD card for the Xperia Play? The bad one I used recently was a SanDisk 32 GB Micro SD card, and the one I'm using now is a small sized 8 GB.
Can anyone help me out on this one?

The best sdcard for the xperia play is a Sandisk class 4 or 6 sd card. Preferably stick with the class 4.

I have a Sandisk Ultra Class 10 64GB card. Worked great for 5 months. A week ago, my phone started hanging like crazy. First 2-3 times a day, then 20-30 times a day. I factory reset my phone, but with the same problem.
Then I removed the SD card and phone started working perfectly again. Inserted the SD card, then same phone hanging problem.
You may note, I have never got any SD error message. The phone only hangs.
Any idea if this can be repaired with a format of the SD card or is it a hardware failure ?
Help will be appreciated.

I formatted it to FAT32 when I bought it 5 months ago. Working great for 5 months. Haven't received any Read or Write errors yet.
Would the phone hang because of an SD card?

Are you using the SD card in Fat32 or exFat file system ? I had a similar kind of issue before. Remove the card and using a card reader, connect it to PC to check for possible malware/virus on the card. And then format the card completely on PC( not on phone) and most probably it should solve the issue.

Yes it can cause issue
Format it again
insert card, if there is no issue restore data after scanning with good antivirus.
The very first day i got my Note i had this problem,(samsung 32GB card.
after several resets etc same problems, it was so bad that it even crashed the radio part of the device!
I was about to return the device when i remembered that we had similar issues with the Htc pro 2 with windows mobile,
After a few minute of scanning my brain it hit me, Pictures and thumbnails!
I then deleted all pictures from the card and thumbnails and behold, problem gone.:laugh:
In my case it was a corrupted picture or thumbnail that was crippling the device,but if i use the card in other devices as the galaxy s 3 mini there was no problems there.
Use exFAT!
It's better than FAT32 and it has file support that is bigger than 4gb
Damm! Its hung twice again, without the SD card... And in the last 6 months never hung even once.
What do I do?

Maybe it's a corrupted file in it.. Try formating it then try it when it's empty, if there is no issues then yea there is a corrupted file was in it..
Also try to make it exFAT with perseus or RedPill kernel, as far as I know, they support exFAT..
