I am lost for words on this lol, ok here is the problem.
NOT ROOTED
Huawei m835 Phone
Metro PCS Carrier
Android 2.2 froyo
2gig transcend SD
Now, The issue I am having is my wifi wont work or my sd card wont work. Its one or the other. The phone uses a easy wifi app that will automatically turn on, now I have tried to turn it on manually via wifi settings but It tries to turn on then says error. Now this only happens with the SD card in the phone, if the sd card is not in the phone it works like a gem. The sd card work previously before i reset the phone back to sq one because wifi stopped.
I have tested sd on my pc and it works great, i see the space there.
I have a Evo Shift 4g (rooted) and popped the transcend sd to be partioned via recovery menu. I popped my orginal card in, evo shift working great still.. I pop sd into Huawei and it works.
Phone now works great, I check space on sd card via settings menu and i got my space back. But heres the kicker, I go to my camera and it tells me my sd card isnt there, I go back to the settings and its gone. Now i cant seem to fix it, I tried several formats of the SD card, several factory sets on the Huawei. I tried to do the Evo Shift partion trick thing I did, and nothing.
SD card still works on pc
Can some one please help with this.
Update, I was looking at running applications to close or uninstall and i notice alot of them have 0.00 bytes, even my android system?
Try inserting a new standard sd card !! Or maybe scan for any virus or errors in sd card...it might solve the prob...

I did a error scan via pc properties menu. Nothing, found. doesnt work. However i put this sd card into my evo shift, formatted it, partioned it, and it worked fine on the evo shift, but refuses to work right on the Huawei :/
Try a new sd card or take it from a friend to try it once...if still it doesn't work it might be a hardware prob...

I have already tried that, it works in a different phone but refuses to work on the huawei, after severl resets, perhaps if I flash a new rom on phone? Is it possible to root phone with no sd card?
Update: ok so I had phone sitting over night last night and it died with sd card in, now I booted it up and realized it prepared my sd card and now its mounted. So it works and so does wifi?...
Can explain why it is now workn

I solved the problem when I didn't use my SD card as an internal storage.
May be that will help you

When you popped out your SD card without unmounting it first,caused a system to fail,the system uses the sd card for cache,android secure and etc.,if you are using apps2sd then it also stores your third party apps on the card,so when you ejected the sd card,viola,your apps don't work and/or disappear.Sounds like you need to do a complete wipe/partition your SD card,newer roms will require it,especially 3.5 and 4.0 roms.
First I like to say thanks for the responce...I've tryed using the format on my HTC but it doesn't say format it said erase SD...I've done it twice and its still not right...as for formatting I used my laptop to format it in fat 32 twice and its still not right...I haven't partitioned it and don't know how...that might be the one thing I'm missing
Dear XDA'ers.
I've had an S2 for a while now and I've been running CM9 since early alpha. Recently I decided to buy an SD card (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005FY61EK/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00) so that I can use it to store my movies. After I got it, I realised that MoboPlayer or AirDroid couldn't detect the SD card and the only way I could put something on it was through a physical USB cable. Now, today I wanted to try something but I found out that my phone doesn't show the SD card at all anymore. I tried taking it out and putting it back in several times as well as flashing the latest CM9 nightly but nothing happened. The only apparent difference that I can see when I put the SD card in is that in the Storage section in Settings, under the SD card tab, I have an option "Mount SD Card" but when I press it, it says preparing SD card yet nothing happens.
Is the SD card fried or what's wrong with it?
I've had the SD card for less than a week so its hard to believe that it's dead already.
Have you got a micro SD card reader that you could use to see if the card is fried? Connect it to your computer, and if it shows up it isn't fried. Also check the format of the card to make sure it is in FAT32 format.

Ahh, I know the problem now (I completely forgot about this).
I formated it to NTFS just before I stopped working since I assumed that it works the same way a USB does (but clearly, I was wrong).
I'll format it back and see what's what.
Have u tried going into settings/memory/left softkey/storage config and select the only options there is?
have you tried other system folders?
i had the same problem before, I found out my sd card mounted as a system folder called "emmc" I'm using resurrection remix rom 2.3
Yep just fixed mine today by downloading https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.qbanin.binder&hl=en if you are unsure of what to select just see the screenshots i followed this selections and it now works fine
Alright, I've fixed it.
Basically, I had formatted it to NTFS because otherwise it gave me some error about file (the file was around 4 gb's and it acted this way with anything over 3) being too big when I was trying to copy it onto the SD card. Now that someone said it has to be in FAT32, I formatted it back and now it works perfectly.
Thanks to everyone who helped me.

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?
I am going to be switching to straight talk within the next few weeks, so today I performed the S-OFF on my Amaze, then I went and Sim Unlocked it. I had done this previously on my other Amaze that I swapped in to tmobile due to a power button issue, and had no problems. However, now when I load my phone it keeps saying "checking SD Card for errors" and when I try to mount my SD Card to my PC it doesn't show up. I backed up all my data, so it's not a data loss issue, I just don't have another 8GB Micro SD Card laying around to pop in my phone. Has anyone else had this problem after performing an S-Off? I know data loss is a warning, but it never said it'd bork my SD Card completely!!
Get into recovery and see if you can format the SD Card, if you can, let it format and copy the files you backed up.

yes, corrupting the sd card is a minor side affect of doing the s-off via wire trick.. thats why they warn you and say to use a extra sd card that you don't need because it might happen... luckily for me nothing happened to mines when i tried it.. but one of my friends that did it broke a 2gb card..
Really strange, about a hour after I wrote this I looked at my phone and the "scanning sd card" message was gone. I connected it to my PC and it detected it but said there were errors. So I let it do the error check, and now my SD Card is working!! I am going to format it just in case. There was probably a lot of junk on there I didn't want anyways.
Was using my wifi tether while phone was plugged in and when I checked my phone, I seen the white sd card with the exclimation point and when I pulled down my notification bar, it said "Removed SD Card, Insert a new one." I put it in another phone, said same thing. I put it in my laptop, and Windows didn't even recognize it in any way. When I put it back in my phone, it said "Damaged SD Card, Reformat needed" or whatever. When I tried to reformat it, it said it couldn't be reformatted. When I rebooted into 4ext to reformat it, it kept giving me errors that it couldn't be reformatted.
I'm running Dastin's WILD FOR THE NIGHT 2/15 4.2.2 rom. My SD card is a Lexar High-Speed Class 10 32GB.
All I'm trying to do is recover everything that is/was on it. I have a feeling that that isn't possible. I had 4GBs of music, about 10GBs of downloads, custom roms, etc.
If anyone knows how to recover my files or format the sd card without errors please tell me. Thank you.
I had the exact same problem once. no card reader was recognizing it. what i did was go to recovery and format the card from there. I remember i had to choose 4ext partition option or something like that to get it to format
Whenever I go into 4ext, it says sd card can't be mounted. The only way I got it to do anything was I used a friends desktop computer and it recognized it in My Computer, yet when I click Open, it says it's not accessible. I right clicked on it, did the full format, and at the end it said it couldn't be formatted. I went to properties and the disk is blue and it says 0kbs in all sections. I tried data recovery software, partition wizards, etc and no go. Can I send it to Lexar and have them do something about it?

Go into recovery and then select make sd-ext4 partition option. It should format the card. then afterwards you can remove the ext partition by reformatting
What if the sd card isn't recognized by any computer? And I have data recovery software that "claims" it can restore your data even after a format. Is that even possible?

I was once able to restore around 90 percent of my images on a corrupted card but i have never seen a card restore all the data on a card. It's all your luck
I had app backups, game data, videos, and about 4gbs of music. Will it restore them or images only?

Re:
Due to corruption your memory card stopped working and need to repair corruption issue, go for Kernel for windows data recovery software for the recovery of your data from the corrupted sd memory card.
Well i put the sd card in an action replay sd card adapter (the one that you take the bottom off and it turns into a usb drive) and I was able to bring up everything that was on it. I backed it up and formatted it with win7 partition wizard or something, and I put it in a regular sd adapter and I got nothing. For some reason it only works with the AR USB adapter. How can I get the sd card to work in my phone now? I'm thinking I can just buy another 32GB (or 64) since I was able to get everything off of it, I'm just trying to avoid that so I can try and save this one still.
