I recently bought a 16g class 4 microsd card and I'm experiencing some issues.. It seems that whenever I copy something over, that's the last thing I can copy.. Say I copy everything I backed up on my sd card that I want on the new one, then try to copy over music onto it, windows will show its copied over, but when I put it into the phone it's as if nothing was copied other than the first batch.. I know I'm doing a very poor job explaining this, but it's a very strange issue I'm having. I have done a full fat32 format, quick format, format from the phone, and a few combinations of each. Any help would be very appreciated.
i kinda have almost the same problems with you, and after another trial and error effort can come into some conclusion that the problems is with micro sdcard quality.. (mine was cheap not well-know brand memory).
so, i never bought that cheap memory again and swap it with another known brand.. an voila! the problems is gone
sorry if that's not very helpful bro, just sharing my own experience.

I recently purchased a transcend 4 gb sdhc card (speed class 6) for my hermes. I have wm6 official att rom and it will show the files in file explore. The problem is when I took a photo the other day I go back and some of the photos(not all) are now just an icon. When I tap the icon it says it can not be accesed.
I did search and found were someone could not delete the items, but I do not have that problem I just want to view/know photos will stay put.
Thanks if anyone can help!!

well, got a same problem here, but mine is with kingston micro sdhc class 4gb class 4. have the same problem. the only way tht i can think of is to remove the card n insert it back again. well then can use as normal, but after a while it the prob will come again, so need to do tht all over again. btw i use crc's 11.2.
Now that i have had some more time to play with the new card i have noticed that if i pull the sd and reinsert it it will usually work. But sometimes even after reinserting the sd some file ie. picture files only show the icon not the thumb picture. Anyone have recomendations for brands of cards that do not have this problem, or is this a problem with SDHC cards?
I just got my AData 8gb sdhc card class 6 and have had none of the problems you have. Sorry, just wanted to let you know the problem could be with the rom you're using, etc....

It sounds like the file is corrupted. Did you try to use it as usb memory stick and run check disk?
Ok checked the folders and noticed that a folder said it was corrupt. But when I try to play music files from the card it will say those are corrupt on the hermes but then they have no problem playing on my computer.
Im about to give up on sdhc, I want to buy a adata 4gb from newegg, but cannot pull the trigger because I do not want to get burned again.
Thanks for help.

Just to let you know I have a 8gb microsd (AData). I've used it for over a month and had no problems at all.
8gb SDHC Kingston good for about 6 months
Nothing's perfect. I rode it hard. Don't give up on SDHC, but personally, I never trust any drive/storage, period. Allwaysync and Mobsync are my best friends. I saw it coming, too. I had to reboot a couple of times to get my x7501 to read it, and about a week later, there it went.
I was just googling around to see if I could recover some of the stuff I did today on it (some pics, a couple of xls files). I synced last night, so most of it's copied. It's all about the data for me.
I'm replacing it with a SanDisk for about US$31. A week or so ago got a 4gb with SD and Mini SD adapters for $15, I meant to use it in my camera with a Memory Stick adapter.... I went with the idea that I could use an just about any adapter if I got the smallest form factor I could, that way I can be flexible when something does go out on me.
Almost all drives will fail eventually. The less you pay (or hunt for a good deal on a good brand) the less time you get. If you didn't get your time out of it, send it in for a replacement, or replace it with a more reputable, albeit more expensive and stodgy, brand so you'll be more sure it'll work out of the box and for a while.
I hope my two cents saves someone a headache or two. Backup. Backup. Backup. Buy well, and backup.
I have been having problems with my sd card dissapearing. If I eject and reinsert the card it comes back. This is happening frequently and has happened on multiple roms including T-Mobile USA Stock rom and an Energy Rom.
I don't know if your know, but when you have your phone connected to your pc, the sd card is unavailable on the phone...
is the sd card defect?
did you test it in another device?
DN41
I am not connected to a pc when it happens. Have people experienced faulty cards that work some of the time? I don't use any other microsd devices frequently enough to see if the card stops working on other devices. If others have experienced faulty cards acting like this I'll try picking up another card.
maybe it helps if you format the sd again?
DN41
Yeah try reformat it..
Not had any problems with my 6month old SanDisk 4GB, i use it every day listening mp3z at work.
Hope you get it sorted
It took me a while to get everything off of it but I've done a full format and reloaded it. So far so good. Card hasn't dissapeared and phone hasn't locked up. I will update the thread if things go south . Thank's for the help It hadn't occured to me that a format would fix the problem.
P.S. for anyone else who has this problem I didn't trust a quick format. It took an hour but I did a full format. You are welcome to go with the quick format if you want to try.
Dont waste time
Do not waste your time...go for a one to one exchange with the HTC customer SErvice if your phone are under warranty.Make a backup by buying another small capacity sd Card..just for safety....cheers
Hey guys,
since a few weeks i'm experiencing problems regarding my sdcard.
My sdcard keeps getting corrupted or loses my data such as my pictures(most of the time they disappear...).
I'm currently using the Doxians v9 which is ported by D4.
When it crashes my phone says that the sdcard is damaged so I have to insert it and run a chdsk on it to make it readable again. After that som pictures/apps/data is gone, probably cause they were corrupted or dissappeared from the fat32 registry... After that the card still works like a charm.
I also did some stress tests on the card through my pc, but no problems at all...
For example this morning everything was fine but I had an exam and I had to shutdown my cellphone... After the exam I booted my phone again and suddenly the sd card was corrupted for no reason...
Is there anyone who's experiencing this problem too, cause I don't know what the problem could be...
Thanks in advance!
Greetz YcKe
have experienced this on mine too but i bought a pretty inexpensive SD card... are you facing the same problem on all ROM's??
I had the problem with other roms too.. But this rom is the worst...
Even when I reboot my cellphone there is a chance that it gets corrupted... Like yesterday I just did a regular reboot and lost all my applicaitons on the sd card... Thats not too bad but it worse when I lose my pictures...
Could it have something to do with the sdCache? Maybe to high/low?
Greetz YcKe
...have experienced this on mine too on MiniCM6... SD cache 6M
Now test low cache.
I checked mine, it's 128 kb atm.. It's the default value for android...
I hope that might not be the problem...
Im grad I'm not the only one experiencing these problems...
Greetz YcKe
Anyone else?
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Mine is a 8Gb Class 4 and it crashes a lot.
It crashes with stock ROM and all other Roms.
Thx
Try to take just a pencil with graphite core and strong anoint (paint) them electrical contact to your card.
This protects against oxidation electrical contact and give the best contact in the connector.
Also, do not increase SDCard cache larger than 1 Mb, because in case of sudden reboot the phone may function properly.
Sorry for my bad english...
Could you guys do me a favor and post these things:
Sd card size +class + manufacturer
Android version + mod
Applications installed
This way we can compare and find the trouble maker

usually you can restore the issues by copying files to a backup folder on your pc
then format (fat32 don't use the quick option this once and instead let it do a feal format). then copy files back and you should be back to normal.
I once had a similar problem. The files on my sd card were randomly corrupting. When I took a photo, and then tried to view it, I couldn't. I also wasn't able to open some files from my pc, but the same files could be opened from the phone. The problem was the sd card i have bought, which was a cheap kingston imitation, so i bought a new one from a retail store and that did it.
Bro if you had linux system on your pc you could check it out by using gparted or something like that.
my dad's P1i 4gb m2 card had the same problem. when taking photos some pics appear half, quarter or nothing but green lines on the photo. changed the card and it worked perfectly. and sometimes it doesnt recognize the card too.
so it is something regarding the card that you are using. better get a genuine card (transcend or kingston etc) and enjoy the lot.

Thanks for the replies guys, but the weird thing for me is that it only happens when using the phone.
I tried some stress tests(write/read) and no problems occured.
Only when taking for example a picture, or putting stuff on my phone like apk's make the sdcard corrupt. I'm now running from a clean install.. No problems so far, I'll keep you guys updated!
Suggestions are still welcome!
Thank you guys

I've tried pretty much everything so far. Suddenly, it doesn't allow any more writes. Any songs and files currently present work with no issues. Anything downloaded/pushed through adb is either corrupted (songs are out of sync, music is all fuzzy) or just won't open altogether (parsing error).
Deleting any file works, until the card is reset. After that, all the deleted files are restored. Any pushed files will also be deleted after a remount.
I'm trying chkdsk right now but I can't format it in any possible way, and the write protected switch on the SD card adapter is OFF.
SD card is sandisk ultra, class 10.
Any ideas what else to try? To format I've tried windows, guiformat and SDformatter.
SD card is 64GB, FAT32 and 32KB allocation size.
Also, anything copied from the SD card to windows works just fine.
In fact, the last recorded files are some photos, dated 13/4 (13 of april). I have no idea why it has suddenly stopped the write cycles.
If formatting through phone, it'll 'format it successfully', but instantly after it'll show that the same space is used as before, so no rewrite actually happened.
It's driving me insane now.

I'm not sure what do you mean, for I have searched high and low and tested a lot of the 'solutions'.
Could you please point me to another solution before I decide the card is trashed altogether?

OK, @JJE, your post doesn't help at all. It would make a lot more sense if you took a few extra seconds to specify WHICH POST (like add the link) so we can get to the solution you're talking about.
@Choristav: I had the exact same problem, with the exact same MicroSD card, went through the same motions of attempted fixes and frustration. Ultimately, I had to just return the card under warranty (and that too, physically go to the location so I could see them destroy the card since it contained private data that just wouldn't go away!). I decided to exchange for 2 x 32GB cards instead for use on cameras/handicams.
I had another new MicroSD card of the same make which I used successfully thereafter for about 6 months, but the same problem has resurfaced! That just leads me to think that these Sandisk Ultra Class 10 Micro SDXC cards have a problem, at least while using on smartphones.
So in short, I hate to say this, but I think the card has gone defective so your solution may lie in just availing the warranty for it. Before I return my second card though, I will spend some time looking around, over the next couple of days, to see if I find a simpler solution (like if there's some way to successfully "unlock" and format the card) and if I find it, I will post the link to the solution. Cheers!
I had the same problem with my SanDisk card.. After being so frustrated, I bought a new sd card, this time from Samsung and it's working fine. Btw the SanDisk support is crap: they asked me if I know how to insert the card in my pc or how to open it and I was like.... Shut up ?
Crappy model... needs to be recalled!

Yes, SanDisk support was asking me dumb questions too and sending me through some scripted routines, but my response cut them short and they approved the RMA... I said, "I've already tried all the suggested solutions, this is a well-known problem with this particular model, you should look up forums on the internet to make yourselves aware. aaand BTW, you guys may want to be smart and either recall this product, or hand out an advisory that this model shouldn't be used on smartphones, cuz given the large number of folks who have lost data and time with this product, you may be exposing yourselves to a class action lawsuit. Just sayin'..."
RMA approved. I insisted on replacement with 2 x 32GB cards.
Hi
I have just spent a while reading up on SD cards turning RO, but haven't really come to any conclusion.
In a nutshell:
I have a Wileyfox Spark X, Android version 7.0, with a Kingston Canvas Select 32GB microSDHC Class 10, which is formatted in such a way that it is part device storage rather than a separate storage area (can't remember what they call that, but hopefully you know what I mean).
My original SD card failed a few months ago, and was replaced.
Approximately two weeks ago the new SD card became read only. The only way I could "fix it" was to reformat it and then reinstall the apps that were on it, and all my data.
Yesterday it became read only again. Obviously I can reformat it, and then copy all my data back and reinstall the apps again, but it is time consuming and I'm really pushed for time at the moment without all that.
I am going to contact Wileyfox tomorrow, but they will just say that I need to reset the phone, which is even more time consuming.
Before I do anything I'd appreciate your expert advice. Is it most likely the phone causing this, or are Kingston SD cards no good?
Thanks in advance.
