Just recently purchased the LGOG today instead of the S3 and im quite satisfied however, while i was flashing my first ROM on the device it was giving directories like there was a second SD card i looked and indeed it came with an extra 16GB card? i bought it from Costco, idk if this was an original item or was i just lucky? cuz now i have 32GB of space!

Hello,
I bought a 2GB Sandisk microSD today from a shop.
Upon inserting it into my hermes, it got stuck: the normal 'spring' action didn't work, and the more I pushed, the more the card slipped into the sd slot until it wouldn't go any further ...
I had to use a pin to slowly pry it out from the slot. Fortunately I got it out.
So did I get a dodgy / fake card?
I did notice that on the dummy microSD card that came with hermes, the front tip (the end that goes into the slot first) is narrower on both left and right side of the card than the back. While on the card I got today, only the left side is narrower; the right side is a straight flush line ... which smells fishy.
Should I return this? The shop keeper keeps saying it's the real thing ...
thanks
It'll loosen up. Mine did that too (on two different devices) for the first few times. BUT, SanDisk doesn't work in Hermes, so, take it back because of that. You need a JAPAN made MicroSD Card... There's a thread on this.

Same here, I have a 2GB SanDisk Micro for over 6mths now, fully utilised and works flawlessly. A lot of ppl bought same card from same place I did, and I haven't heard complaints.
And fits perfectly in my TyTN, from day one.
I'll be the third to say that I have never heard of nor have I ever had problems using my 2gb Sandisk in my Hermes.. Legolas, what are you smoking?
And if you could please provide a link to that thread, I would appreciate acquiring its knowledge.
I have 2 sandisk 2 gig both brought about 4 months apart from seperate suppliers both work fine.

Odd that you aren't seeing it.. On my two 8525, I can get the cards to disappear almost on demand.
It looks like mostly a Cingular ROM issue in that thread. Maybe that's why I don't have same problem, I've had my original TyTN ROM until I flashed to WM6 XDA Live 1.0, with which works fine too (not in a hurry to change to xda live 2.0, 1.0 so far works good for me).
I haven't had a single disappearance of my card and/or loss of a file since I bought the phone in Sept last year.
Yes, sandisk cards work fine. The issue with cards disappearing is a rom issue which will eventually be resolved. If you are using a stable rom you won't have a problem.
I've never had to force a card in the slot though!
problem "fixed"
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the replies.
FYI, I've "fixed" the insertion problem now: it seems that I need to be a little careful when inserting the card into the slot, and keep it a little more to the left and down.
The first time I inserted it, I pushed it in a little higher into the slot, which caused it to get stuck. So the problem doesn't occur now, though it does make me wonder why the slot was made with such loose tolerances (I'd expected the card to either go in or not; and if it does go in, the slot should be such that the card goes in without any need for the user to be 'careful').
And the Sandisk 2GB card reads / writes fine in my hermes. I'm using the latest 3.5 ROM from HTC.
cheers.
Changed from SanDisk to Kingston 2GB card. And the device works without any freezes. I guess the Hermes DOES have issues with the SanDisk cards. Only my opinion..
had some corrupt files on my 2gb storage card so i copied off the good stuff then reformated as fat32 alloc unit 512. copied files back on but now TomTom runs like a dog.
have i used the right settings for reformatting?
any other suggestions?

What rom? BL? Radio? etc..? What do you have on the card? Do you experience any issues where the phone goes to sleep and never wakes up until you soft-reset? Do you *ever* need to remove and re-insert the card?
Please, when you're posting information that you want to share with others, be DESCRIPTIVE! We'll never figure stuff out if all you contribute is, "Mine works".
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.
Hi Guys,
I just bought and recieved my new class 10 sd card in the mail when I got home from work.
Ive saved everything from my old card to my computer and was just about to throw the new one in my phone, but thought it might be safer to check on the threads to see if there is anything I need to do first. Couldn't find any other threads to walk me through it but I remember seeing something about fat32 the other day on here....
Is it as simple as swapping them?
Thanks, Luke
*edit..... never mind, I bit the bullet and it's all sorted. Formated the card and all is sweet....
I'm having a problem with my GS3 (US AT&T version) that I finally got my grubby paws on today. I bought the 32GB Samsung Class 10 metal MicroSD card for it from a legimate source, and verified its speed and function with H2testw.exe. It passed the tests, and both of my computers can see the card when plugged in through my card reader. It is already formatted as FAT32.
When I insert the card into my phone and turn it back on, and then go to storage in settings, it does not recognize the card. The option to mount the SD card is grayed out, and a reboot doesn't fix the problem.
Does anybody have any ideas on what could be going on?
Hopefully I didn't get a defective phone, since I already installed a Skinomi screen protector and would hate to buy a new one, and because the phones are pretty much out of stock everywhere around me.

Thanks. Please excuse the newbie mistake -- I should get to know this forum better.
It worked about the 10th time I tried it, after I hot swapped a couple of cards. Hopefully it was just a temporary bug, and not something thats going to bite me in the future.
Hi Folks,
now i snatched me an ZU because teh price tag of 222€ was to tempting. Mainly because i like strange phone Sizes... and why carry two devices, when you can have one awkwardly big one ^^
Now, I have an SanDisc Ultra 64GB Class 10 Card...
And guess what, when i fire up Comic Rack, it tells me that the SD Card is removed and tries to read it again.
Now is the Card Broken? I formated the card new, and after two tries my Laptop was able to format it? Sonds like something is messed up in the Card?
I still have warranty on the Card? so is it best to just send it back and get a replacement?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I'm pretty sure the card is done. Walkman always freezes when it tries to read from the card
And it's said again that the card is removed.
Even with no activity at all the card struggles and is removed from device.
Thread is done. Mods can delete.
Thx guys
