I'm thinking of buying an htc hero for $20 but the guy says the sd card slot is broken and doesn't click when you push in the card. Is there a way to fix it? I mean for $20 it seems like a good deal since it's 2.1, still newish and apparently works great. So if I do buy it I'm going to try and fix the spring since my sd card has everything I need from my old phone.
Glue it in place
That might work. Then again it might not.
Just make sure the pins on the SD are touching the pins on the device and it will work, 100%

Well today i rebooted my phone and after it turned back on, it told me my SD card was damaged and needed reformat. I insert it into a computer and it couldn't read the card. So i reformat it.
After copying my music and maps, it corrupted twice more!
I'm trying to figure out if it's my phone or SD card dying. Been having problems with signal loss with my phone lately also [sort of confirmed to be a phone problem]
SD card is a Generic 16GB Class 2 [Came with the phone out of the box]
Thanks,
Tim

I had the same problem with a 8gb Kingston class 4 card. I couldn't trust it if my life depended on it. Bought a new card, never had a problem since. If you have any other cards laying around, try using one of those first, or maybe you can get one from a friend. If they work fine, then just buy a new card as you will know your phone is ok.
Signal loss does happen, but I don't think it would be any way related to your memory card.
Yeah i have a 8GB Lexor Class 4 card lying around, just seems like so little space. I'll try that first though. Maybe i could get Rogers to just give me a replacement SD card... yeah...
Signal loss, it just happens around once every other day, dropped calls, no service for a second or so and comes back on. Even when i just leave it on the table on speakerphone it drops [areas with decent signal]. It's not with the network, it's most likely with the phone [talked to tech support] as i think i've told you before
But yeah i know it's not related to the memory card issue, was just an actual issue with the phone -_-"

Little space or not, try it out before you purchase a 16gb or 32gb card and realize your phone is messed right?
However, I think you will find the lexor card will be ok and your phone is fine
I was wondering if anyone has had an issue with their micro sd card slot not locking in cards. When I push the card in it clicks but just pops right back out. This is also a new phone sent from Verizon seeing as data stopped working on my old one.
I'm probably just going to end up taking it to a Verizon store and see if I can get another replacement, was just seeing if anyone has seen this issue and knew of an easy way to fix it.
Okay may be a stupid question but gotta ask...
How do you get it out. If it's on a spring release like the sim card than I may have a problem..
Disregard, pried it out with a couple of pins and tried another card which worked. I got a bad card I guess.
I just received a used AT&T LG Phoenix (P505) that I acquired from ebay. It does not detect any of the micro-SD or SDHC cards that I've inserted into the card holder. All of the cards work as I use them with other phones and computers.
When I start the phone, I get the following notification:
Removed SD card
SD card removed. Insert a new one.
Anybody know if this something that can be fixed by a "hard reset" or some other method, or do I need to contact ebay buyer protection?
Thanks!
The card slot is damaged. Get it changed from LG service centre.
When u insert, try to go to Settings>SD Card>Insert.
If no, try hard reset.
And if it won't either, the slot is damaged.
Take a good look at the pins in the SD slot, with magnification & good lighting. If they look at all bent, send it back.
I suppose you could also try cleaning the contacts. It's worth a shot.

I got the seller to refund me, minus shipping both ways. I did try to clean the contacts with no luck. The pins did appeared to be correctly aligned. If you're in the market for one of these, you're gonna want to test the micro SD slot, there are numerous Optimus One (or derivative) phone on eBay with the same issue. the lack of internal storage makes the phone nearly useless without it.
That sucks. At least you got (most of) your money back, without a hassle.

Could always try reformatting the cards to fat32 in windows. And perhaps error check

What is a hard reset?
My father's cell phone has suddenly stopped acknowledging that it has a SD card... he's been really upset about it because now he can't view his pictures anymore
I told him it sounds like there's something wrong with the phone and to go to the provider but he doesn't want to lose his stuff from his SD card soooo... is there a way for him to pull the information off the sim card onto the computer? I've heard of devices that you can put SD cards in to slip into a computer but I haven't found one anywhere for him, any advice on this?
You can get one at ANY RADIO SHACK OR COMPUSA, That's where I get mine from.

Yep. Many mobile broadband modem/usb sticks also have microSD card readers built in..that's what i use instead of a card reader. Also, you could just put the microSD card into your phone, connect it to a pc and access it that way
