I have a 32 gigabyte sd card I am running fusion 1.1 with a stock kernel it will work fine until I transfer data to it then it says I have a damaged sd card is this a bug or could the card really be bad thanks for the help

You should probably give a little more detail on the SD card.
1. What class is it?
2. Where did you buy it (store, internet, etc..)?
3. Does it transfer fine in a PC?
4. Is it formatted correctly? How is it formatted?
All of these are important as for instance, if bought from China through ebay, amazon or online store, 75% of the time I have found them to be cheap knockoffs that don't perform well in mobile devices. Hence the testing on a PC.
It is a Kingston and pretty shore it is a class four. I formatted it with windows fat32 I did not do the quick format I could transfer on windows but it seemed very slow and it showed up one the phone until I downloaded a file and tried to view the file. I also formatted it with the phone and transferred file to the phone as mass storage device and same thing when I try and view the files it will say damaged SD card

Try transferring to the original sd card to see if you are still getting any errors. If not, you may have a bad card.
What about the other ? I asked? (#2)
I did get it from Amazon so I think you are right about the cheap cards from China the 2gig card has worked just before I switched cards thanks for the info

I'm pretty sure it's the card. I've seen a couple of threads that said that the kingston brand was bad for the vibrant. I think that the most recommended sd cards were transcend and sandisk.

Hi all.
I have a new SD card 32Gb Sandisk and when i use this with xrecovery like, install custom zip all i get is
E:Can´t open /sdcard /FreeX10.zip
if i use my old 8Gb card i have no problem.
Is there something wrong with the card? it is formated Fat32
Anyone??
In my experience the 32gb cards are fickle creatures in the x10. Some work some have issues. Ive never had problems with 16gb and lower cards though.
Its not an ebay card is it? Some of those are hacked to seem like 32gb when in reality its only a 2gb card.

No it is not a ebay card it is the real deal. It works great but i can´t use it for xrecovery and install custom zip.
I'm fairly certain it only officially supports up to 16GB.
It will work with certain 32GB cards. However, some seem to be incompatible.
Since the evo lte has 16gb internal and also supports SD cards, what gets stored where? I have been trying to figure this out all morning and it's driving me crazy haha. Can you store files on the internal like an sdcard? And if you had an sdcard how would you choose which storage to put stuff on?

As the phone has yet to be released, no one can say for sure. It will likely be along the same lines as other HTC devices, though. In a pure stock setup, internal storage is used for system files (partitions & filesystem) and downloaded/installed apps, while external is used for pictures/videos and music, as well as whatever other files you'd put on an SD card.
I really dig the idea of having 16GB internal storage. It would, for all but extreme cases, eliminate the need for a2sd/dalvik2sd and would increase the life of our sd cards (no swap, thrashing, etc.).
I know its hard to know since its not out yet but that's what I was thinking also. I just couldn't justify the need for 16gb (minus how ever much is reserved for the system/rom) for apps since I have a 512mb sd-ext that I can't even fill haha. Guess we'll see.

I'm sure we'll be able to bend the phone to our will and figure out some way to utilize the internal storage for whatever we want. It may well be that an SD card is not needed for file storage, as well.
Both internal and external SD work like an SD. The internal will have probably 2gb for apps and 14gb for whatever, pics, vids, music, downloads etc. And you can use a file explorer to move stuff between internal and external SD. Pretty sure its not device specific but the way Android itself is designed to use the storage.

I will assume this is correct as well as my HTC Rezound has this setup. The Rezound has 2 16GB SD cards (one internal, one removable external) The internal has about 2.5gb for apps and the rest is internal phone storage while the external 16gb is available for anything else.

That's how every android device I've used with internal storage is set up, they partition off a section for apps and the rest is storage just like an SD card you can even nandroid and flash from the internal and is labeled as SDcard in the file directory while the removable is labeled as external_SD, and it is the same across all manufacturers.

What's the expected transfer speed for EVO LTE internal mem vs. Class 10 ext?
Cannot wait till mid May for the release of this BEAST, hands down the BEST Evo released! I was thinking about getting the Nexus instead but than it wouldnt be too much of a difference since I am coming off the Epic touch 4G. Besides I miss the built quality of HTC, yes Samsung has beautiful screens and gorgeous cameras, but I think this Evo clears those issues for me.

I have the HTC Jetstream tablet, which as the same set up.
Internal is used for downloads and apps.
External is used for whatever you put on it manually.
Once you open the camera app, it asks you if you want to save images on the internal or external memory. Select external because in the case of a wipe or crash, you still got your files on the external.
My external sd card contains only music, video, document, and image files.
The internal card is pretty clean and unused.
As for a phone, it'd be the same set up for me.
I wish the external SD card would be seen as \sdcard by the OS.
Not too many apps let you choose the directory of the files, so only pics and videos end up on my external card.

that makes me wonder if the external sdcard will keep up with the 1080p videos and the rapid 4 pics/sec camera...should be interesting

That is a very valid point. And also not an issue that was a question with the Jetstream since it does not have the same imagechip technology that the LTEVO boasts.
Hmmm...

It all depends on the class of your SD card. A higher class card will have no problems. Like mine, I have a 16gig class 10 card that writes HD videos in 720p beautifully, so I imagine 1080p will be similar for me. That's actually one of the reasons I got a class so high. I noticed that my videos on my OG Incredible were choppy and not very clear on the class 2 card it came with, so I upgraded.

Hey, you're coming over from Verizon I see? That's cool - what brought you to Sprint? Just the phone?
It seems to me that (from a distance) Verizon is getting the short end of the stick on phones these days. I always used to think that they always got the best ones, and now recently I've seen their selection trending downward. Am I just imagining things or did you feel that way too?
Even their version of the "One" series they are getting stinks (small screen, less impressive overall specs). And I heard in an article that it will be $299. Are you kidding me?

Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE SD card confusion
Bought phone yesterday.
Moved 32GB SD card from EVO 3D (Gingerbread) to EVO LTE (ICS).
From ICS view, have "internal storage" and "phone storage". Don't see a way to move apps to SD card (which is not "phone storage"). SD card can be mounted/unmounted, so it's visible in some sense. Some apps, such as Amazon MP3 can access music on 32 GB SD card. Other apps don't seem to know it's there.
When USB cable is plugged from Windows computer to phone, Windows Explorer cannot see "phone storage", it only sees 32 GB SD card when phone connection is designated "disk drive mode".
There is HTC connect. I installed a couple of versions, but connection establishment fails when I try to connect via USB HTC connect.
Hence I cannot get to some phone data from my computer.
I would like to be able to tell phone to put app data on 32 GB SD card, but don't see a way yet.
Anyone have any answers?

Hi baller,
I also have a 64gb sandisk ultra I am running, when you format the card, you need to use fat32 with a 16kb cluster size. I you just have the one partition you will end up with approx 59gb of space. I used MiniTool Partiton, free for home use. Anyway, that was my first setup, now I have a 28gb fat32 partiton and a 31gb ext4 partition. I am running the mod from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803252 on blackbean 3 with the modified boot.blob from YoMark. If you try this out, and download and of the modified boot.blob files, make sure when you insert them into the rom that you change the name to be boot.blob. Each one is specific to a certain rom so don't try to mix and match... class 10 card works the best for this but I think some people have used class 6 also... depends on the brand of card mostly...
Link2SD is the app i've been using since gingerbread up until jellybean. works like a charm. it's free, too!
Does the YG-P70 (US version) have a micro SD card inside it? I was thinking maybe upgrade the internal SD card capacity if it isn't too difficult. That will leave the external slot open if we really need more. I ordered a Samsung 32 gig microSD class 10 and it is the fastest card I have ever had (not easily found in most stores where I live). I bought it from amazon. I would have gottetn one on ebay but there are a lot of fake memory cards on ebay. You take a chance buying them on ebay unless you know the seller. If I could make that my internal card that would be very nice.

Yes, in a way. It is (simply put) built into the processor, so it is not removable. Your 32 gig will have to go in the external slot. However, there is a patch to make it look like your internal storage to android (swap the two), which you might want to check out.
