Ok so I got the Amaze, had everything setup and I decide to use my microsd card from my G2 and place in the Amaze. Shut the phone off, took the backing off, place teh sd card in, turned it on. Worked! For about a minute! It goes down hill from there. The phone is now saying that my SD card is damaged or if it's in there, it says Removed SD Card. I've formatted the card plenty of times, inserted and took it out plenty of times, tried 2 other sd cards, all have the same problem. Put those SD cards back into the original phones and they work fine. I'm stumped. I need help. Any ideas or suggestions? Anyone having the same issue?
Have you tried a different SD card?
Also, try to reformat it (make sure to backup your files) and just put it in without any files inside. You could also format the card from the phone as well (backup before you do).

Yeah, I've tried 3 different cards. I've reformatted them all through the computer but I couldn't through the phone. Every time I've tried through the phone, it wouldn't do anything.
at this point I don't know if it's a hardware issue or a software issue. I didn't a Factory Reset, still the same problem.. I love this phone! Everything else is awesome besides this one issue!

Run! Don't walk back to the T-Mobile store and have them exchange it.
It doesn't matter if it is hardware or software, you are experiencing an issue that others with the same product are not. You did your due diligence as far as trouble shooting yourself. Take it in to the store and tell the rep to either fix it, tell you what you are doing wrong, or swap it out.
Don't wait any longer looking for solution here!
Go now!
LOL Thanks! I'm heading there in about 30mins when I get out of work!
So I got it replaced! SD Card works! Now I gotta bring it back for another one because when the soft keys light up, you can see two dots like they didn't coat the screen properly and missed a few spots..

I dont know if I am the only one, but although I love this ROM and I find it perfect for my needs I just cant get around the fact that it destroys my 8GB microSDHC class 6 card by encrypting it. I have formated it endless times with the panasonic formatting tool it becomes usable, I put my files in it, it work for a few hours at best and the the phone hangs. usually using Total Commander, its interesting that it starts slowly, like 1 ever 5 secnds, showing my folders (I guess this is where the encryption begins. And then everything I try to open gives an error 18, data moved or something. Encryption desibled in setting, power administration disables it does that regardless.
After it does that if I soft reset or restart the phone the card will not show up anymore, either in the total comander, or file manager or any program that trys to access the card. After that if i put the sd back in my pc it shows everything just fine except an Encfitlog.menc file or something like that has being created. Its only that file thats all, no extensions have been modified no files moved nothing. And the computer reads and opens everything just fine. Sometimes if I delete the file the phone will read it again mst times it dosnt.
I know many think it can be bad SD card but the fact is that the computer reads it just fine and intrestingly enough so does the phone, for example i can install endless numbers of roms using the sd method. Even with the menc file on it the bootloader reads the card perfectly and flashes the RAPLPH.IMG everytime no erros. To me that means all hardware is working fine.
WHAT CAN IT BE????????????? PLEASE HELP I READ FOR HOURS DIFFERENT THREADS AND NOTHING HELPED. O LOVE THIS ROM BUT I NEED THE SD AS WELL
if anyone has any idea I would be extremely grarful!!!!!!
was the card properly inserted? The card slot is spring loaded. Try removing the card by pushing it in all the way, the card should pops out. That's when you know that you've inserted the card properly. If the card was inserted correctly, the easiest way to find out now is buying or borrowing a different card.
Yes of course, like I stated i can flash roms form the same sd card, it works for a while and then it just goes bananas. It seems to be a fairly common issue I just thought some one else might have figured out what triggers this error. Still no permanet solution.
Have you tried the second suggestion?
O tried the card in other phones and it works which is stait up wierd. Havent gotten around other cards to try yet. but is wierd i doubt its hardware related cause it reads the rom images perfectly to flash them. and doubt its the rom becuase i tried like 6 already ranging from stock 6.1 to heavily tweaked 6.5s yeilding always thesame results. its like they just dont get along. wierd. will look for another sd to try on my fuze and see how that goes
Try a different brand of Card

I too use NRG roms and have flashed them from AS and my SD. I have a Sandisk 8Gb card that I brought when I got my Raph and have never had a problem. I can only strongly recommend that you get another brand of card and check the results. Maybe there is something funky about the way they talk to your brand of SD card.
Check on the HTC site. I think they list compatible memory cards. I have a similar issue with a 16G card I bought. Sometimes it's all there and sometimes it's not...no rhyme or reason to it. I just went back to the 4GB for now haven't had the time or incentive to go further yet.
i guess its just that!!! I mean it is a very cheap card, Generic from Microcenter. But the on and off thing is what confuses me. I would thing it would be a work or no work thing and not a sometimes works some times it dosnt senarrio. An I tried the card on a Kaiser, Titan, and CDMA Raphael and works. And for certain things it works on this Phone as well. I noted one more thing. If the phone never goes to sleep it dosnt corrup the card. But as it goes to sleep when i press the power button it hangs for a second and pufff!!! card gone. But if i plug it to the computer via USB it will recognize that theres a card it just wont show it. And if i plug it in the computer with SD adapter is all there plus the forsaken menc file. But the whole sleeping thing leads me to thing it might be a power management issues of how the OS handles the memory voltage on sleep and resume. Could it be?????????
WIERD!!!! I guess the only OTHER logical explanaition (which dosnt totaly stasify me, THEY JUST DONT UNDESTAND EACH OTHER)
Will try to get a secondary card and post resulsts.
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
I'll tell you a strange issue (additional to the already mentioned on other posts) of the micro SD, I found and tested it today, and i have not resolved it yet.
ISSUE:
without notice, the phone is switched on etc, shows the notification "SD Removed, Please enter a new one", I thought it was strange since I had changed the micro with another, a san disk 16gb HC, nothing of strange.
i restart the phone, but the notification does not go away. i begin to be worried, 'cause it usually disappears.
I remove the backpanel, the secure of microsd and take it off.
So far nothing abnormal belief, and reinsert it.
The phone still does not see the new microsd.
i was in street so didn't proceed with further testing and i messd up for a while. arrived home i tried with 3 other microsd, the default supplied by LG, with still the old data within, and no one of them were detected
NEW two maxell 2gb microSD, HC always, are not detected.
I thought it was a pin problem, but keeping the vertical microsd clearly known that the pins are aligned correctly
(1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1).
restarting the phone with and without early MicroSim they are not recognized.
The PC and other phones are working properly.
I also made a restore procedure from privacy-settings, but still no sign of life.
any suggestion?

mine problem as i told is not an unmount problem but the absolute not detection mode, i tried the cards on another phone, all of them works.
by the way today i pick up the battery, and i looked for the little white warranty sticker, and it is a f****' pale pink!
the phone had no contact with water or everything like that, so it's impossible that i burned my warranty in this f****' way!
by the way i think is an hware problem, and i think is caused from some components on the little board on the upper side of the phone where are the antenna, speakers, vibrator engine, and the sd slot.
I had similar problem, my LG came up with error message that the micro sd card was damaged, i tried 3 different card and always had the same message.
I took my 16Gb sandisk card out of the phone and to a card reader.
The card worked perfectly on my PC so i started to take a backup of the card and then run some problem diagnostic tool and thank god, it finished and promped that some errors where fixed.
Since than it has worked perfectly in my optimus one...

let me understand better, u ran the diagnostic tools on for the SD card or for the lg optimus one?, and if the second, can u post, send pm, with the link of them? Many many anyways for the answer =)
I simply ran the diagnostic tools on the sd card conected to my pc via usb card reader in win7. I was about to give up on this when i decided to try this, tough i didn't think it would actually work. but it did.....
someone at LG should look into this, my friend experienced exacly the same problem with optimus GT540. it was after installing some custom rom in his case, but i still have the original firmware, i haven't done any hacks but rooting, wich i don't belive could cause this problem...
oh, and i hope i am making my self clear, my english is not perfect since it's not my first language..
I do confirm.
This happened on my new phone.
Without any reason.
i updated my phone to ICS about an hour ago and since then, my phone keeps rebooting and doesn't seem to recognize the micro SD card (the same one I've used in the phone since I got it on release day). The card is listed in the Storage menu in settings with the correct total and free space, but it doesn't recognize it otherwise. Trying to unmount it does nothing, no pictures are showing up in my gallery and the apps that are on my card are showing on my home screens with the default Android logo instead of the actual app logos. Anyone know how to fix this? The phone is not (and never has been) rooted.
The phone is working better without the card, but I can't view texts. It just says Loading... and the message never comes up.
Is there something I have to do to get ICS to recognize the micro SD card? Or do I have to do a factory reset and/or format the card (two things I don't want to have to do)?
Having the same issues here. I'm wondering if it could be something on the SD card itself that could be causing the problem. Like an app that is installed on the card or something. Thinking about clearing the card and trying it again.
Do a factory reset. With OTA updates an unrooted phones, a lot of people have problems. This is why rooted users wipe everything (factory reset) when flashing roms, because updating rom's without wiping usually causes random issues like this.

That's what I did last night (formatted the SD card) and my phone hasn't rebooted since then. Probably an app on the card that wasn't working with ICS.
I finally found it!
After hours of looking it up, i found the biggest issue I have ever had with my phone. Maybe second, after my down volume button broke (didnt fix that, ICS kinda did). Or maybe third, after my Micro SD card crashed, and when I went to repair it, it somehow wasnt the one the phone comes with...
Lets get on with this. I have waited so long, and thinking that they had a whole year to develop a perfect update, they screw it up.
I want to know why the hell the Micro SD keeps crashing my phone. I try to transfer the stuff, but it doesnt allow it. Should I buy an adapter and transfer the stuff to my pc? What will happen to all my game data? How do I restore that? Do I factory reset the phone only, the SD card, or both? I really need a perfect explanation what to do, and as much technological I am, I dont want to mess anything up.
And another thing, which might be irrelevant, but those other Googlers or HTC EVO 3D owners might have this same issue. Why is there a thick red border around the screen of my phone ( sometimes, it flashes periodically). I think its a developer option, but im not 100% sure. I really hate buggy software.
Oh, and if you guys didnt notice, or it might be just for me, but my computer doesnt detect my pc, and even the red charging light takes 5 minutes to turn on. If HTC doesnt do anything about this, im going to root, and believe me, I tried.
If HTC cant,help you guys can. Happy typing your response!

Well if the card is bad/failed, you probably lost that. Backups are very important in today's world.

You don't factory reset the SD card, you format it. It's worth a shot, but if the card is bad it won't help.
I have rooted MK2 but no Safestrap/roms. The last thing I updated was Titanium backup, a couple days ago.
Today, everything was great until I rebooted my phone to see if I could get better wifi reception at work, and suddenly my sd card is corrupted! for no reason! I had a ton of stuff on there, included all my backups
has anyone else had this issue? is there anything I can do to prevent this happening again?

I think that it depends on what the tweak did to it. The only best advice is to back it up to your computer every now and then.

I dont really have a fix for it unfortunately. Try taking the SD card out and putting it in a card reader then put it into the PC. See if the PC recognizes it. If it does then copy your SD card to your Desktop then reformat the SD card. I have had 2 32Gig Ultra Sandisks go bad on me (in my old S3) and got tried of it. Got a 32Gig Samsung SD now and have never had a problem.
good advice. when I get home this evening I'll try my adapters and see if my computer can read it from one of them. And then I'll back it up. And buy a Samsung card!
what a PITA!
