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.
Hey,
So ive been having some problems since i got my T989 in november. About once a month my SD card just seems to fail... like just now, i rebooted the phone (power off then on) and it comes up with "SD card is Damaged" Why is this happening? its getting really frustrating because i like to do all my nandriod backups onto the SD card...
Anyone got any advice? Could the card be faulty? The other times it was basically doing the same thing. Eject the sd card properly, remove it, plug it back in... Failed!... ugghhh.
Sounds like it is just that...sd card is faulty. They are so cheap that I'm not sure why you don't just buy a new one?

When I turn on my sgs2 this morning, I suddenly get this message:
damaged sd card
you may have to reformat it.
why is that? what caused it?
does anyone know?
because there is nothing wrong last night when I turn it off.
is it possible to fix it without reformatting it ?
I hate losing all those datas.
my sd card is transcend class 10 16gb, I have used it for only 3 months with no problem at all.
I have tried reboot several times, take it out, clean it and insert it again,
but nothing works.
Please help.
My rom: wanamlite v6.7
My kernel: Phenomenal Black v2.1
Try putting it into your computer and see if it opens. Also, windows may offer to fix it (which shouldn't reformat it).
Either way if you can get it to open on a laptop or something even for a bit you should be able to save your data.
Freezer trick (like for fried harddrives) might also work.

Why did u buy transcend sd card?i am using Kingston 16 gb class 4 card and i think it gives the best performance.Class 10 sd card should perform better than class 4.You may consider sandisk as second option.I am sure u are gonna lose ur data.
Hi Guys,
thanks for all the advices.
when first I connected the sd card to windows, windows could read the directory.
however, if I click on the file, it gave error message: file not found.
then, after did some searching on xda, I found more similar thread like this.
and some told me to run window error checking and chkdsk /r.
the problem is, it seems that every time I run these program, the sd card is getting harder to read.
then, I run them again and again, finally the sd card now can not be read at all.
Too bad, I guess it is time to reformat.
PS. I should do more reading and searching before I run chkdsk:

Hi, so today every time i would boot up my phone i noticed it took a really long time to recognize the SD card (32 GB SanDisk class 4 micro SDHC). Later in the day, aka a few hours ago, I rebooted my phone and it flat wont recognize the card is there. I've tried formatting through my computer, still didn't recognize the card was there. I tried formatting through cwm 5.5.x recovery and all i get is an error saying it cannot mount the SD. The only time i could even get it to recognize the card it said it was either blank or written in an unreadable filesystem, so i clicked format, but it seems not to format the card. I tried popping in a blank 4GB (micro SDHC class 4) i had laying around, and it worked no problem.
PLEASE HELP!!! I cannot fit my 14GB of Music on my tiny 4BG SD!!!
Thank you to anyone who responds in advance
!!!! Update!!!!!
Fixed!
I used the format SD program in the link provided by 216Monster below.
This program takes hours (I did a full format) but it works!
Please don't be afraid to hit the thanks button!

Download SD Formatter from https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ and see if that works for you, might end up with the same results.
Also did you try sd card in something other then your phone to make sure its not faulty?

Edit: sorry read that wrong.. but the case works fine in all my computers...but I tried another Android and it failed to work there also

Another thing you could try is a sd card from samsung, im using a 32gb class 10 in my r800x and it works great!

Pretty sure the class is one of the factors that determine if the SD card will work with your phone. 16 SD here.

Hi,
I'm new to the forum
I just bought a new HTC desire Z but there's one problem
When i insert my 8 gb sandisk class 4 SDHC card,
It tells me to format it. When i press format nothing happens :s
Any tips?

Try formatting the card through a PC first, choosing FAT32 and deselecting the "fast format" option. Let it run (might take 15min or more) and then put the card in your phone. See if this way it works.

I already tried that, thanks for the fast reply anyway
I tried about everything i could find using google and this site's search function, but it all failed.
It sucks because you need a sd card for so many things on an android phone, even thoug it has 1.5 GB built in memory.
Is it a new card? If so, its already formatted FAT32, and should work out of the box. If its still asking you to format, even after formatting on PC, and format on the phone doesn't work, the card may be defective or damaged.

New card, new phone. Thanks
I'm betting something is wrong with the card. That is not a normal message to get with a brand new SD card. Try a different one, if you have access to one, or excahnge the one you've got.
No luck

OK, so i've tried 2 diffirent 8gb sdhc cards and 1 regular 2gb sd card.
still no luck.
the same problem keeps occuring :s
I tried formatting the cards in every possible way, even trough adb with the card inside the phone, no luck.
I think i'm about to sell the phone on ebay
you can just buy the sd card tray on ebay for about 12 bucks, easy to replace
Just format it on your computer instead (micro SD card reader or whatever).
I had this problem using IC9 beta, wouldn't format my card.
I used my PC and it was fine...
I've been spending waaay to much time trying to get this phone to work as I had expected with previous phones (even my LG G2x) giving me less problems. I recently bought a Sandisk 32gb, class 10 micro sd card and after transferring old music, pictures and videos from my old LG G2x with a 16gb card, placing files from my computer back onto my S4 with the 32gb card is a nightmare! Photos are transferred but too out of order to try and deal with although it's more the music problem that has me bugging. I have some success after putting about 3gb or so onto the new*32gb sd card but after that, the sd card flips out and starts using special characters for file names. Below I attached a screenshot of what I'm going through with another app called V1 Golf for Android. I'm stuck and any help is much appreciated. I can't delete anything on my sd card nor can I add. I've reformatted this card about 4 times now without success. Some say that a Sandisk have been nothing but problems for them, you think a Samsung card could be the fix?
I'm also running windows 7 on my computer as some people have said that could interfere with the transfer but it seems like that's not the problem being that downloading apps from google play shows corrupted files depicted below.

First, did you format this 32gb sdcard using fat32, exFAT or NTFS or ?
If you did not format it with fat32 then that could have caused the problem.
First you need to remove the card from the phone and plug it into your
computer using the adaptor which came with the microsd card so it can be
tested and repaired in windows.
Once the card is plugged into the computer and it's recognized by windows make note of the drive letter.
Then open a cmd prompt in windows by going to the start menu clicking on RUN then type "CMD" and click OK to open the DOS prompt.
Then in the black DOS window type: chkdsk E: /F then press "enter" to scan and fix errors on your microsd card.
NOTE: The E: is just an example, check the actual drive letter of the sdcard which is plugged into the computer.
Please note, doing the above will not delete any files or folders unless they are deemed unusable and cannot be fixed.
The chkdsk will NOT not format your microsd card.
Good luck!

Unfortunately I ran into a very similar situation with a 64gb SanDisk card. After several months of using it successfully without issue, out of nowhere some 20 gigs of data were stuck. It seems that 1 file in a nandroid was corrupt. After formatting, re-partitioning, deleting etc, etc. with Windows 7 as well as MiniTool Partition Wizard I was unable to ever get the corrupt file to delete. Thus leaving the $60+ card useless and a prime candidate for the trash. I chalked it up too a "bizarre" instance. I have since purchased 2 64gb cards, one to replace and one for my new S4. Haven't had the issue since (knock on wood). Not sure what the exact culprit was, the recovery? (TWRP), a freak occurrance? or Just a defective card? If you have any luck saving your card please post how you did. Although I realize this probably isn't helpful except to know your not the only one.
My sd card seems to be stuck.
About 20 of 64 gb being used.
Now I can't delete anything. Or add anything.
It appears to delete and then it just comes back.
Does that mean my sd card is dead.
scandisk 64gb
Had the same thing just happen to me. Transferred a few kernel files yesterday and today couldn't delete, add or format anything. I was able to copy all files to computer but that's it.
same thing happen to my sandisk 64gb class 10 microsdcard as well
is it a virus?
I had the exact same issue with a San-disk 64gb micro sdcard, I contacted San-disk, they offered me a replacement card.I suggest you do the same, hopefully they will exchange it for you.

You can use another SD card to try whether this sd card is dead.
If anothe SD card can delete files, it proves that this sd card is dead, vice versa.
Did your problem solve? I'm experiencing now like with your problem. And I'm looking for an answer.
