[Q] 8 GB SD CARD not recognized after 2.3 update - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a SE Xperia X10 with 8 GB SD Card. Recently I updated version 2.1 to 2.3 through SE update and PC Companion. However, after this update the SD card is not recognized and "Storage" in "Settings" always shows "unavailable"
I tried formating the card on computer using a card reader. However even with FAT32 it is not working.
Please guide me and help me. Do I have to format the card with different file system? or is there a method to solve this problem.

Reformat with the formatter from sdcard.org. Android doesn't play well with our cards all the time. Remember to backup your card first.

I believe it won't. u20i only supports 16 gb
Thanks pabling19. I will try to check it out with my friend.
It supports 16 GB max. Doesnt recognize if you insert 32 GB card. I've tried once.

Ok. Thanks li_boud.
Could you not partition the card?

i dont think that 32gb Sdhc microSD is created by Sony, Kingston if it was then definitely supported coz i myself use 16gb microSD card
Just a quick question, when you install a new microsd, do you factory restore your phone or you can just copy everything from the old to new? Because I'm having problems when I installed a new microSD, my phone restarts frantically whenever I mount/unmount when I'm connected to a pc

I just copied the contents of the original card onto my new 16gb one and didn't have any problems.

Maybe it's better to format the card from your phone, then copy the content of your old SD card.
I asked se support and waiting for answer
I formatted my new card with normal pc formatting tool, put it into phone and it ran no problem.. I didnt have any app installed to card or anything so it was just photos music and stuff aplications create there..
I'm happy with the 8Gb card, for a phone that small.

but it dosent tell anything about HC cards.. i just bought a 32GB microsdhc card. but it tells me its damaged. i searched around on the web and dident really find anything usefull.. some1 tells they can use it, and some say they cant..
but i tryed to formate it in phone couple times, with no luck.. then i tried to formate with my default formate tool on my xp pc. formatet it to FAT32. only option i had. FAT32 or exFAT..
after formate with pc i set it in the phone again. and it said its damaged twice then miraculously it mounted it. :O.
i mounted the phone with usb cable and copied everything from old card to it. (Old card 2 Gigs)
apperently it seems to work.. i tryed also to reboot and it mounted the 32GB Sandisk MicroSD HC card..
lets see how long it gonna work..
when i was witing this it rebooted. not sure if its the cards fault. never rebooted b4. hmm
gonna get back about that.
(sorry for the weird links. cant put links yet.. need to write 8 posts.)
Ps. I have the ¨Old¨ X10 min pro with Custom rom. CM7 v20.

Mine certainly does. Kingston 32GB class 10 works like a charm.
x10 mini pro (u20): 16gb
mini pro (sk17): 32gb
They deleted X10 mini pro page, it did said 32 gb for it, stop saying that it's 16 gb only.
when i inserted 32gb in mini pro it worked very very hard.but 16gb is very very good.

[Q] SE MiniPro not supporting 16GB sdcard

Hey guys! I kinda need some help here.
Here's the deal. I just bought a 16GB Kingston Micro HC 4 SDcard for my SE MiniPro U20i on 2.0.A.0.504, intending to install app2sd, following this guide.
Didn't go well at all.
The phone was already rooted, so I prepared both the partitions needed, and with USB debug on,i started the process, but it halted whith some kind of error, different from the one expected but i thought it had worked. It didn't.
The phone started rebooting frequently and saying the sdcard was corrupt. I tryed a different 16GB sdcard, same story... i flashed the phone in two different ways, used a different SIM card and nothing worked.
But then, I tryed the sd card on a X10 mini E10i and it worked perfectly! Oh well.
I just installed app2sd on my old 4GB sdcard in the U20i, and it's working. I'm fresh out of ideas as of why my phone isn't supporting the 16 GB sdcard.
Does anyone have an Idea?
Thank you all

[Q] SD card problems after flashing to 2.2.1 beta 4

Thought I'd start a thread rather than jam up the beta4 thread with this...
I've flashed to beta4, dualtouch and baseband .54. The phone works completely as expected with the following exception: I cannot use the SD card.
I know the SD card is present and readable as if I boot to xRecovery it sees the card fine.
When I boot the status bar reports 'Preparing SD card' followed by 'SD card safe to remove'.
If I go into Settings->SD card & phone storage settings it reports 'Total space' and 'Available space' Unavailable. Tapping the Mount SD card reports 'Preparing SD card' in the status bar, followed by 'SD card safe to remove' again.
Apologies if this has been covered before, I started through the beta4 thread but with 482 pages of posts it wasn't easy...
Responding to my own post, I tried a 2GB non-HC card in , formatted to FAT which worked fine.
So, I backed up my 8GB HC card, formatted it to FAT32 then copied my files back and everything is working now.
You must format card in your device, no by a PC. Format FAT32 in windows I do not know why but it's not the same in the android. You will see later how a lot of files will disappear from card(like jpg, png and others). I had this problem before and after fast format in X10 and now everything is ok.
------------------------------
I testing beta 4, the only miuns is that the titanium backup does not work. After using the system is crashing. I read about busybox and xrecovery problems and I know the TB use busybox. Any suggestions?
Try re- installing TB

Couldn't format the card on the device, as it wasnt detecting (? or acknowledging anyway) the card at all.
Sticking it in my laptop and formatting it there worked fine.

Hello I have a problem, my SD card has two partitions Fat32, Ext2, app2sd and FreeX10 does not understand it. Wrote your SD is not supported file system, please format it.
Sorry for my bad English translated by Google Translate
Try doing what I did, pop it into a PC, copy the contents to a temporary folder, format the card to fat32, no partitions then copy your files back again. Worked for me, give it a shot you've nothing to lose

So what file do you need to format the sd card on the computer,? Do I just mount the sd card or what once im about to format it with?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Pop the card into a reader or adapter and slot it into your PC. What OS are you using? On Windows just open explorer, right click the card and choose format and then make sure fat32 is selected. Ubuntu or similar, sorry its been a while but I'm sure there is a format tool in the system tools? Mac? 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue'

SD Card Problem

Hello,
I am having a problem with my SD card. I am currently running TripNMiUI Iris 1.09 with baseband .54. The rom is working fine, but it seems tht my 16 GB class 2 micro-sd card is not being recognized by my phone. It recognizes my 4GB class 4 micro-sd card just fine, but when I insert the 16 gb one it doesnt even recognize that I put a card in. Someone please help me. My computer recognizes the 16 gb card and even transfer around 4gb of music to it. Both cards are formatted in FAT32.
when you put your sd card in your phone and go setting>sd card, it should either give you an option to'mount' it, if not, you should be able to 'format' it. you can also download sd tools.apk free on the market, it will look for the card

help
same problem exists fr one of my frds
Try dialing *#*#7378423#*#*, go to Service tests>External Memory (if you are on ICS already - I don't recall GB having this option). It should be able to detect your microSD card as "Inserted/Mounted".
Thank you carlshark
But I`m not on ICS yet...
The update is not released yet for my phone.
I think returning my phone to the store is my best option right now.

maybe the hardware is broken...

WT19i Cant mount any sd card
plsss helpp meee
my wt19i wont mount any sd card i connected the phone on the pc to take some photos and in the moment he did a restart and when start i get a noftitaciton blank sd card i did factory reset hard reset , flash the firmaware but he donte mount the card i took a new card and the new card wont to mount but the old sd card work fine in another phones i dont now what is the problem plsss help meee
and exuse me for my bad english...
i got the same problem here...
anyone knows how to fix it?
my wt19i is on stock GB rom, i rooted it, installed Link2SD, created partition on my sd card, linked some apps to the sd card..
and then i decided to flash my phone to stock ICS.. it succeeded though.. but my phone can't recognize the sd card anymore..
i flashed it again to stock GB, formated the sd card, but it still the same..
I have the xactly same problem. Last night I tried to flash AOS 4.4.x to my WT19i with no good. So I reflashed with last working CM (CM9.1) with 4GB flash inserted. I reflashed, set the phone up for the first time, connected with facebook and installed couple of apps (I have not moved the apps to card - all were in the internal memory). But toady in the morning, I bought a new 8GB sd card and wanted to replace it. And here the problem starts.
When I inserted the card into the phone, it said that the card could be removed. When I look into settings>storage, I see "mount sd card" option. When I click it, it goes grey for a sec and then BOOM, "mount sd card". I tried returning back my old 4GB card, but I still see the "mount sd card" option. Simply, the phone stopped reading any sd card.
Even the recovery cant read the card, which I think is a major issue - I cannoit reflash system, since I cannot access sd acrd in recovery.
Yes, every card I tried IS working - tested on other two phones and three computers.
So I think, is it a hardware issue with the card interface in the phone?
