I connected my HD2 to my laptop using activesync, then when I opened explorer on the PC to go to the /StorageCard directory, found that it wasn't there. So, I tried exploring to the directory in the HD2, but found that it couldn't see the card. I've shutdown the phone, taken out the MicroSD card, and hooked the MicroSD card up directly to my laptop, and it appears just fine, and I can copy/write to the card without issues. I've tried cleaning the contacts, and putting it back in the phone, but the HD2 still doesn't see the card.
Anyone else have this happen to them before? Any hints on what else I can try?
BTW, it's a Kingston 16GB MicroSD card, and it's been working reliably without any issue until today.
Right.. I tried putting in a newly formatted 2GB MicroSD card, and the HD2 was able to see it without problem. So I'm now backing up stuff from my 16GB Kingston MicroSD, and will probably re-format it to see if that will help.. Just a big hassle having to backup/copy back almost 15GB of stuff from the card..
During the backup process, there were a few files on the MicroSD that couldn't be read, so, could it be that the card is going bad?
OK. Finally finished backing up the MicroSD card, and reformatted it. After reformatting, the HD2 now SEEs the newly formatted card, I only have to copy stuff back onto the card, then I'm done..
I'll probably end up going out to buy a new card tomorrow as it's pretty obvious from today's "adventure" that this card is probably on its way out. Oh well, now that I have the data backed up, it should be relatively painless.

i have had to reformat my card once because I accidently removed my phone from the PC without using "safely remove hardare" (aka right click and select eject) feature. formatted the card and restored from backup and all is well again.
Done! Copied files from backup to 16GB MicroSD, and the HD2 sees it.
There were altogether 4 unreadable/corrupted files from the MicroSD card when backing it up, but fortunately, none of these files were irreplaceable, luckily, as all these were MP3 songs, which I also have other copies on my laptop.
Tomorrow, I will take a look to see how much the new Sandisk 32GB MicroSD card is selling for here in Hong Kong. If it's not TOO expensive, I may end up buying one to replace the 16GB Kingston I'm using now. I remember reading somewhere that the HD2 is supposed to be compatible with up to 32GB, but has anyone actually tried the new Sandisk 32GB card in an HD2?
I've had a similar issue with my 16 GB Sandisk card. Strangely, my old TyTn II could read it absolutely fine - but my HD2 couldn't :/
Only way i found to fix it was to format it, then copy all the stuff back.
It's happened twice now and it's pretty annoying!

I've been using a 32Gb Sandisk since June this year, with no problems. I've got about 27Gb on the card.

I have tried it in another windows phone and it works fine and it works in my galaxy pad. any help will be appreciated.

Have you tried reformating the SD card? Also did you by it online or in a store as a lot of fake SD carda are floating around on the internet.
Is anyone else having the issue where the SD Card randomly unmounts itself and then remounts? I have already wiped and reformatted the card with the Note2 but the issue is still present. any solutions or answers?
I have the Tmobile version, but I have the same issue. I even did a full format of the card on my pc, but it made no difference. The card sort of works, but sometimes instead of the 'preparing sd card' I get the 'blank or unrecognized file system', and then I have to wait for the phone to go to sleep. It will usually wake up and recognize the card then, but all links to files on the card are broken. FYI, my card is a SanDisk 32GB Class 4. I tried an older 8GB card and did not have the issue, but then again, my 32GB card worked for a month with no issues. Very perplexed.

I have a Sandisk Ultra 32GB card. I only have music on it which I've only tested out a couple times, but never had this issue pop up at any point. Perhaps it is the format of the card? I do not remember reformatting mine before putting stuff on it. If you can, try testing another card or putting yours in another device to see if it's the card itself.
I had a 32GB Class 6 Sandisk Ultra, which was also used and worked perfectly in my GS3.
I went to my verizon store had my phone replaced.. threw the SD card back in, and it still had the issue. Put a normal 16 GB SD card in it, haven't had the issue yet. So I guess somewhere in the process of switching between my GS3 and the Note2 the card somehow got corrupted or broke??
Looks like I'll be buying a 64GB class 10 card soon lol

Me too. Class ten and no problems.

I had a SanDisk Ultra 64g sd card in my s3 for about 8 months, and yesterday it suddenly stopped recognising it. I formatted it with the phone, still the same. I tried to format it with my pc and it's still broken.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is this normal?
Yes there is some error with SanDisk cards. They have even released fixed cards. Ur card must be class 10 card.
Just call their customer care. They will get your card replaced.

Has any one had issues with types of SD card this device takes? I've put in a 16 gig class ten sandisk ultra SD card and it works fine. I recently bough a 128gig SD card integral Class 10 and after a couple of hours of working fine it comes up with SD card removed. Ive sent the card back and got a new 128 gig card but the same happens. I have read this phone can support 256gig so is there a certain type of card it needs? The card works fine in a PC.
Any help would be great.
Cheers

Late reply but I've only had mine a week and it does the same. I suspect it doesn't like SDXC cards in certain speeds...testing is ongoing.
OK.Here. Using a 265gb SD card.
Did you Format it using the Phone ?
And did you remount it after. ?
