My phone won't recognize my 32gb sd card. I had an 8 in there and it's fine. However the 32gb isn't recognized. I've formatted the card and it's fine in a reader.

Does it show up in your phone as unavailable? When you look at settings -> storage? If not then you will be able to format it within those settings

Reason I ask is that I just had a 32gb pny sd card randomly go bad. It would open on my computer but would freeze up if I clicked anything. I couldn't even format it.
If you can, try and format it again and see if that works, if not then it looks like we're in the same boat

I don't think mine is bad because I can read it from a card reader. I can write and read. But no go for the phone. Also when i put the card in my phone it says it is damaged and then prompts me to format it and then when i format it it says card removed. However like i mentioned its fine in the reader.
Is it formatted as FAT32?

I'm in the same boat. I just moved over to an ASOP ROM and I keep getting that the SD is damaged. I reinstalled the ROM and downloaded it again. I even formatted the SD with the phone. After rebooting, I got the same message. The card works fine with my PC and my other phones.
Any ideas?

Not sure if this is the correct place for this thread but I recently purchased a 32GB Micro SD and it has an issue when I go to write stuff to it via USB from phone or adapter into front of PC.
When I put things onto it only certain things stay. For example, when I copy my music folder # - Bs get written on it and if I try to put on pictures nothing happens.
It goes through the process as if it is writing the files but then they go away whenever I remove the device.
Any ideas or thoughts?!?!?
THANKS!
It may be a faulty sd

If you bought a cheap off-brand card, it's probably just the fact that it's a crappy product. If it's a well known product that gets good reviews, it's probably a defect.
Try formatting the card and see if that helps.

It's a SanDisk 32GB.. I formatted it to FAT32. I don't know if that the correct format or not. Heard anything about SanDisk?

It's in Settings somewhere. Browse around the options - it'll be in a menu titled storage or something similar, or possibly in about phone if there's storage info there.
You should also be able to do it from recovery.

In my storage options i have "Erase SD Card" nothing about formatting. is that what i want?
Hey guys I took my sdcard out of the phone formatted it and when I put it back in the phone it now wont detect the sdcard and also it wont detect internal storage also...
EDIT: or nvm I rebooted it a couple times but now it detects the phone storage but when I put in my 16gb micro sd it does nothing until I remove it. When I remove it, it shows that it has been removed, but before that it doesn't show a sdcard is inserted... Yet when I put an 8gb one it it shows that it's in the phone...
Well we just discovered that our phones say there is no external storage at all. From best buy.

I concur with this statement.
I too have a 64 gig card and I formatted it in the phone. The phone sees it as 59+gigs which is cool. But what I am trying to figure out is how to save or move apps to the actual sd card. Not phone storage that is the 9+ gigs, but the actual 64 gig card.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think there is a way to do this right now with out changing the mount points

The thing is that the phone doesn't even detect that i've inserted the card. When I insert the 8gb card it shows preparing the sd card and it gives me all the options to unmount/format/everything else. When I put the 16gb one in everything is still grayed out and it doesn't even think i've inserted a micro sd card.

So how hard is it to do that and/or how soon before you think it could happen? It seems though HTC could maybe do something or is just the way Android is. It just seems that it should just be a part of it. LOL. I mean I already have some music on the sd card by creating the folder...I just don't want to run out of space on my phone.
Ok, i'm going to bestbuy in a little bit to pick up a 32gb micro sd and see if it'll work with that...

Hello everyone. This is my first post on these forums. So i bought a SanDisk 32 GB micro SD card... I am using a mac. My Mac cant see the sd card as external storage. I have enabled MSC and i have mounted the SD card from my phone. In storage settings it says that the total space on sd card is unavailable. I am running Gingerbread and i have search about this topic and all i learned is that there are some bugs with the SD card in this version. Can someone help me with my problems? I am new to android.

No. I cant see the card from the phone.. I have seen that this kind of sd cards are compatible with xperia go, but i dont know why it cant been seen on the phone. Also in the application section on settings there is a tab about the sd but it uses my internal storage as the sd and not the 32 Gb micro sd

I have one with 8 GB, and never experienced any problem with it on my phones.
I dont know how it is formated. Is there any way i can see that?

I bought it from amazon. Here is the link. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WGJYCY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 from Digital Media Source.. They have very good reviews... Now i went to format it on my windows 7 laptop and it said that it was 29,7 gb not 32... Also tested my sd with H2testw and i got an error... I really dont know what to do. The card seems legit from the outside. iIt is a class 4 micro SDHC
I'm going to clean install Beans 17 and use the sd card swap option; however, I'm trying to figure out what precautions I should take or what I should do to prepare and not lose data. I copied all my card over to my PC.
Should I delete everything on the card now or just let it on there and complete the swap?

As long as you have everything backed up, and there are no instructions telling you to have a empty SD card when you set up Beans with SD swap, you should be fine. I don't think having it full or empty will cause issues either way. Just make sure you read all the instructions and info on SD Swap in Beans thread.

Hey guys, I'm running Beans 17 with sd swap and I've been installing all kinds of apps with no problem but I noticed that the memory is being sucked up from the sd card and not the internal memory where I have 30 gigs. Weird, because without sd swap apps are downloaded into the internal memory and with swap downloaded to external sd where the measly internal memory is now. Kinda thought everything will be downloaded to internal all the time. How is everyone elses downloads going?

Thats supposed to be how it works. It is supposed to trick your phone into thinking your external is your internal I believe.

Let me clarify. If you go to applications manager, it only shows memory equal to your phone memory; however, for the new user, we'd think it'd show whatever is left on your sd card--now that your sd card is "internal" memory. So, instead of it saying I have 30GB left, it says I have like 1 GB left out of 11...or whatever the total is...
If I go to storage under settings, it shows phone storage as 64 and sd storage as whatever the phone storage amount is.

What I was getting at was that it tricks the phone, and the app market, into installing into the external card by making the external show up as internal to the app that are being installed. Thats my understanding of how it works and seeing as how i have never used it I know nothing of how it shows up just the general principle behind it and why it works the way it does. I may be completely wrong too, thats how I have seen it explained.

I just applied the RUU update, and when I go to storage - Mount SD card is grayed out, doesn't appear to read my microSD at all. Worked fine before update.. any ideas?? It's a 64gb micro sdxc. I was going to try a reformat but wanted to see if anyone knew what else it could be first.

Mine did the same thing, a reboot worked for me (think I got lucky though, ;-p)
If it doesn't, do you have a spare sd card to put in there to try and isolate the problem, whether it's the phone or card.
Also are you stock, rooted, s-on/s-off, etc?
