Hi i own a SE Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) it came with version 2.3.3 and i upgraded to 2.3.4, i also recently bought a new 32GB memory and i inserted it in and the phone is not rooted.
And now my problem is:
when i insert music in the phone the phone tells me it cannot playback the song... also when i take a picture i review it, its ok but after a while like 2 mins the picture becomes corrupted. and sometimes the phone also deletes my apps, or loses them when i transfer the app to my SD drive.
What I already did:
- formatted the SD drive (stay with same problem)
- factory restored the phone (stay with same problem)
- i re-downloaded and installed the android version 2.3.4 (stayed with the same problem)
- send the songs with bluetooth (it plays the songs but then tells me i cant send anymore things on bluetooth due to storage issues...
- try sending the pictures and music throught USB (cant read the files corrupted and later on it deletes the files on the SD drive)
Conclusion:
- when the phone was in version 2.3.3 it worked fine and when i updated and changed the sd drive... everything went wrong
so it could be the SD drive or the Update to 2.3.4 wasnt good...
So i wanted to know if someone could help me...
I THOUGHT OF GOING BACK to version 2.3.3.... if anybody can give me instructions on how to do that please or a link to that instructions.... or if someone knows the problem and have a solution for it please really need your help thanks alot.

Sent from my SK17a using XDA App
i bought it in holland... at a turkish shop... nope didn't test it when it was 2.3.3.... you could have a point there i will give it a try tonight when i come back from the library.... and i will post my reply about it.....
i got a sd card from a friend in the library i tested it and up till now i took a picture and its still there and i also copied a song to my phone through usb and it plays so seems like you were right that it could have been a fake card and i wasted 28 euros on that.... but the sd cards looks exactly the same.... only difference the 32gb it says sandisk Micro SD and the other just says MicroSD weird..... is there any chance i can make it work or i dont know ? the one of 32gb
How about SDHC cards? Does SK17i support this cards?
no, only microSD
The problem persist due to a fake sd card!! My friend faced da same problem wen he bought a fake card on another android!! The softwares fine!! U shud buy another branded one!!

Well the fake cards look exactly as a original one , another thing you can do its buy a adapter where you can insert the sd and use it like a usb in the computer, if the problem its still there, the most probable reason its like you buy a fake one , generaly this cards have only 2 gb of capacity and dont come in a retail pack,

Had to return my 3125 because the microSD cards would become corrupt for no reason. This happened twice. Thank goodness I was able to return the microSD cards as defective. This is what happened: Folders/Files would disappear out of the blue. No programs running, no nothing. Listening to music thru my Motorola Bluetooth transceiver(A2DP is very cool). Shut everything down. A couple hours later, Music folder invisible. It's still there, you just can't see it or access it. Take the card to my PC and it does not recognize the microSD card anymore. Hangs everything up. So, from my phone I delete everything from the microSD card. Check the Properties and it shows there is still a gb of data on the card. Now I'm just pissed, so everything goes back to the store. I still had a few days on Cingular's 30 day return policy (Cingular is great). I read a few other threads where people were havng the same issue. Buyer beware. [Applied the A2DP hack to my 2125 (which is a better phone - better reception, easier to use with one hand, ect...) works great - see http://richtech.wordpress.com/2006/05/11/go-wireless-on-your-cingular-2125/
for instructions. I did NOT upgrade my ROM before performing the modification. I still have ROM version 1.0.9.0 and everything works fine.
could be a microsd card problem
would you please post you microsd make and model?
i am currently using a transcend 1gb (normal speed)
been using it everyday for music(yeah a2dp is great) photos documents .... etc
all is fine .. the normal speed doesn't lags so much like when it was on my ppc
I was using a Sandisk (normal speed) microSD purchased from a Verizon Wireless retail store.
I lost a folder (Application Data/Home) during the night without touching the phone. Had to send it in, and received a brand new one back. I do NOT have a memory card at all!
I too is using a microSD card of Sandisk but it dosnot has ne problem.
there is a similar post on howard forums. I had this same problem happen to me twice. Both times it was a sandisk 1gb card, but one of them was the ULTRA model. There is something frying SD cards...and it's not based on brand. I have the qtek 8500 and it happened

I have read somewhere on these forums that if u let ur device to charge for more than 3-4 hrs or leave it by accessing gprs for some time then the device gets hot and can fry ur sd cards or ne internal chip.
dude... i am having the same problem as you... the funniest part is that my Micro SD goes corrupt every 3rd after the reset of the phone or i uses the handfree kit.... but i am using a Dopod S300... is it really the card problem or the phone? i am still figuring out.. cause each time i take my phone to the shop the Micro SD will just be back to normal after 1 hour... but i am using only 512mb
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.
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

Mine:
8gb + Class 10+ Kingmax
2.3.5 + GinTonix 1.65 with Zombiepanic Kernel 1.56
TitaniumBackup, Camera360, Opera, Facebook, GoSms
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

Hi all
I'm having a problem with my Micro SD Card.
I have tried to put a pile of songs on it and then I was going to use it as my MP3 player.
It will let me copy about 490 songs onto the SD Card but after that it won't let me copy anything for love or money.
It's a 32gb card so I really can't see why it won't do it. My phone has not been rooted (yet). It is still the same as when it came out of the shop.
When I go to My Computer on my PC it tells me that there is about 29gb free. Am I missing something?!?!?
Adrian
What brand is it (supposed to be) and where did you buy it? Have you ever managed to store more than a couple of GB on it?
Check it with H2testw
It is a no name brand.
I have not yet tried to get more than a couple of gb on it. I'm going to try that overnight and post a reply on here.
I will also use H2testw but I think it will take a while to do.
I will post the answers on here tomorrow afternoon.
I am testing a different Micro SD card using H2testw at the moment just to see what results appear.
Adrian
There's also a SDCardTester app in the Android market that works like H2testw.
After using the H2testw it would appear that the micro sd card is faulty.
It will be given back to the person who gave it to me!!!
Thank you for all your advice.

Hello all,
I've bought 8GB SD card and used it on my mini pro, I faced some issues like:
1. Alot of programs suddenly crash
2. Wireless connection gets dissconeccted automaticlly
3. The whole Android software get crashed and the screen goes into black, then this can't be solved if I didn't remove battary and reinsert it.
I Tried to check the SD card for bad sectors and problems but there were nothing.
Any Solution?
NOTE: I have another SD card (2GB) and it dosen't make any problem when in use.
If you remove the card the problems persist?

remove your sd card, run your phone and see if errors still occur
I have another SD card (2GB) and I am using it now without any problem
It doesn't make sense, but you can always sell it cheap to someone that can make a good use to it.. #short term solution..

This doesn't make sense.
SDcard has nothing, that could affect wireless connections at all.
SDcard has nothing, that could affect whole Android firmware. Neither should it make apps crash.
What manufacturer's SDcard did you buy?

MAYBE a problem with file system, connect it to pc, with a card reader or put phone in mass storage and format it with FAT32 system.. thats what my 8gb card has..

It's already in FAT32 file system
It happen to once with my cheap 4gb card when i paired with nokia n82.. Till now i don't know why the phone keep refusing to recognize the card. The irony is, the "rejected card" works normally on my current phone "sk17". it left me scratching my head.
If you can return it, return it. If its not worth it, just get a new one. Basically, you have done everything on you end, so its definitely the card's fault.

Check for SD card class,its written on SD card.If its less than Class 6 then you should buy SD card with class 6 or higher.
Second you should not place large files like multiple blueray pictures or multiple songs in single folder.And last you can speed up SD Card read,write speed by using SD booster of Root tool box pro app to make your SD card faster.
I thing class is not so important. I now using few year old 16 gb card class 2 without any problem
Sent from my ST15i using XDA
Weird but I have no reason not to believe you.At least you know that the problem is the card,so either return it and get a new one or buy a 16Gb instead.They re already pretty cheap! Opt for a class 6+!

Why should I avoid putting multiple songs in one folder? I have put like that and my sd works fine eh??
and the other thing if you had apps in the other sd which was 2gb and u put the 8gb one without transferring them to the 8gb card the apps should not work. Android system failure sould be a problem of memory management. Check whether you had filled ur card.
and yea I think the best solution for u if u have tried every thing, return the card
