G,day all,
I got 32GB Samsung Micro SD card. I've been using it for last 4 months. Music and Personal pictures, videos filled 20GB out 30GB.
Suddenly my music start skipping the tract can't play this format. and then realized the pictures are not available either. in setting > storage the external sd is grayed out. as if nothing is inserted. I pulled the memory out n insert it back. restart my phone. still didn't work.
Tried on my laptop even laptop doesn't detect it. Used card reader still doesn't detect. any idea what to do ?
I should also add that the issue is with Micro SD card only. I tried different sd card it work well on the phone and laptop.
my pictures are my real worries. any suggestion would be appreciated.

Well the problem is SD card can't be detected even using Laptop.
Download the sd formating tool, if that won't format it then the card is faulty and needs to be replaced. I had the same thing happen with a ten month old card, the supplier replaced it without quibble.

I have put a Kingston 8gb in my HTC HD2. Managed to add 3.3 GB of music (synced through WMP on pc). This all worked fine initially on wmp and sense player on phone. However I don't appear to be able to add any more music. There are errors in sync or sync says ok but wmp or sense on phone cant see or play the new music files. There are usually folders within file explorer which apparently contain all the tracks added including album art but these cannot be played (i've tried Nitrogen as well) or play only a few seconds of the track which then constantly repeats.
Anybody got any ideas of a fix for this?
OS version 5.2.21913
Rom 3.14.405.2
Radio version 2.15.50.14
Have you tried copying the music manually to the phone?

Yep, tracks appear in windows explorer but will not play.
Try deleting "AudioManager_Eng.vol" in "/Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/". You may have to restart the phone to delete it because the sense player locks the file when its running.

I've done this, but now HTC music player cannot find files at all. Win and nitro player can. I tried syncing new tracks again but neither player can play them, although apparently they can see them.
Have you tried running chkdsk on the sd card when the phone is in disk drive mode. File System Issues can sometimes cause these problems.

How do I do this?
Right Click on the "Removable Disk" in "Computer" that represents the sd card. Click "Properties" then go to the "Tools" tab and under "Error Checking" click "Check now...". Make sure that "Automatically fix file system errors" check box is ticked and click "Start".
Done that, found one error in folder fixed. However makes no difference to adding any more music.
Is the music your trying to copy the same format as the music that plays and what is that format?
Yes same format, ripped to WMA variable bit rate
Can you confirm the files are being copied correctly and not becoming corrupt when they reach the sd card. I take it they play fine on the PC. Try using HashCalc from SlavaSoft to generate the checksum of one of the music files on the PC and then the same music file when it is on the sd card. If you have just copied the file to the sd card then remember to eject the sd card, take it out and plug it back in before generating the checksums. Compare the checksums and if they are different then the file has become corrupt when it reaches the sd card.
Done this, file appears originally on file explorer on phone sd, but vanishes after eject/replace. Calculated prior to eject totally different numbers, eject/replace deletes file, leaving empty folder.
Is there any value in syncing to sd in card reader directly?
Ive tried straight copy / paste without success.

Sounds to me it is time for a new SD card. You should not be having this much trouble with a good SD card.
Yes it is some value in using a SD card reader to transfer data to a SD card. For that is the only function ofcthe SD card reader is to read data on the card, write datacfrom your computercto the card, or write data from the card to your computer nothing else. Your HD2 has all kinds of things going on while you use it for USB mass storage. Also if you try a SD card reader and have the same problem you are pretty much assured the SD card is shot. Unless you reformat the SD card with the reader and it will work then. If it still exhibits the same behavior after reformatting it is a bad SD card. Google Panisonic SD card formatting software and download and use it to reformat your SD card. Do a full wipe and use Fat 32.
I reformatted and then I tried using card reader, OK until 3gb ish (of 8) was used. Then errors started. Mix of files (wma, wav etc) using winamp to sync. One error is that Nitro played tracks but it appeared that one track would be repeated. The card is only about a week old.
Is there an issue due to mix of os, windows 7 on pc and windows mobile 6.5 on phone?
Would upgrading phone to Win 7 sort the problem?

Changing over to WP7 would probably only enhance your problem seeing as WP7 uses your SD card as internal memory.
Where did you purchase the SD card? Something tells me it wad online.
It was online, Ebay Pureprices. Kingston though, proper packaging, I'd have thought it would be ok.
I copied some more to the card in phone, tried to play them with card reader, explorer/winamp sees them but will not play, other files previously copied do play.

Well I can't say for sure but I do suspect you were sold a bogus SD card. Even if it was in the right packaging yhat is still not a roper assurence thatcit is logit now. The internet scammers are getting realky good now days. They probably sold you a SD card that is actually only like 4 gig and made it look like a 8gig. I have even heard of people getting SD cards that were sold as 32gig and werecactually only 2gig. You can do some googling and see if you can find some software that will tell you the true size of the card and class also.
This is interesting, I summed the reported file sizes on the card amounting to 2026 mb. the phone (settings sd card and phone storage) reports 7852 mb total 3003 used. This is echoed by my computer when read via the phone and by card reader. I know cards are reported as slightly less capacity (?setup files) but not more than 1/2.
I found this site http://fightflashfraud.wordpress.co...ld-standard-in-detecting-fake-capacity-flash/
any ideas of its veracity?
There is a link on this site regarding fake Kingston cards on Ebay, that seller however had poor feedback, the seller of this card is 100% positive feedback, and only appears to be selling 8gb+ cards and 250+ of them in the last month.

Man nice find I will be downloading that for myself. Kudos to you.
From the results hou got there I think it is pretty safe to say you got a bogus SD card.Not neccasaraly defending the seller you bought it from. But they may have been as much a victum of someone selling them the bogus card too. I know a lot of things are cheaper online but I think I will just have to go down to my local Best buy and get me a SD card. Just to much of a risk to buy some stuff on line.
On my Samsung Galaxy S2 on Sprint I used Apps2SD by Sam Lu to move many of my apps over to my new 32 gig SD Card. After a bit I realized that I had moved many of the apps over that should have stayed on the main internal storage, mainly because of widgets. So I moved many of them back.
Shortly after doing that I was at a retreat with my phone on airplane mode to preserve battery life. I took some pictures and videos, read my Kindle app and Bible and then plugged it in to charge. The next day several of the pictures and videos I took showed up as a black icon and were not accessible. Then I noticed that all the apps that I had moved to the SD card were "greyed out" and even some of the apps that I had moved back to the internal storage. The phone then told me the SD card needed to be formatted.
Since then I have tried to use file recovery software to recover missing files on the SD card and it finds hundreds of photos and several videos, but nothing else. So the big question is, where are my apps? Does anyone have an idea of how to recover my missing apps? They show up on my phone with "greyed out" icons so the phone thinks they're installed but obviously they're not. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nathan

I had the same problem my apps that I had transferred on my SD Card had a grayed icon. This happened when I had plug my USB to store some files on my internal SD Card in my I9000. When I plug my phone and pressed the "Connect USB storage" button it seems that the app had freezed so I unplugged my phone and did it again for several times. When Im fed up I tried to browse my phone and there the icons of the apps I had transferred on my internal SD card had turned gray. I tried to unmount and mount my internal sd card but still no luck. I tried to restart the phone and even remove the battery still no luck. I guess the best solution is to reinstall the apps. Sad to say if i try to plug the phone again as an external drive I can see the files on my phone including the OBB files of the games

in theory, if you re-install the app without clearing the cache, then all your files and settings should be there.

I did reinstall my apps and most of them retained their settings. I later had the SD Card begin reporting as needing to be formatted again so I removed it out of fear I may have gotten a bad SD Card. I don't know if the phone has issues with loosing SD Cards or if I bought a bad card. Haven't had time to trouble-shoot so I'm just going without a card for now.
Hey there, I'm hoping somebody can help me. All of a sudden this morning all 1300 pics and 600 songs just disappeared from my SD card. I pulled the battery and rebooted, still nothing. I had noticed last night that a few of the pictures were great out and had the image sideways in my gallery, I didn't think anything of it. I tried to delete the ones that are grayed out and they wouldn't delete.
Then this morning I noticed when I went to go and open one of my pictures it would not allow me to open it I could see it in the gallery but I could not open it full size. Thats when I get a second reboot, and all of my pictures disappeared. I thought it was the SD card because at that point it was saying blank SD card or SD card not compatible to your device. This is the same SD card I have had for years in multiple Samsung devices.
I can't even view the pics on my computer with a card reader. I have tried 2 different SD cards as well on my phone and they all "blank card or card not compatible "
The phone won't even let me format any cards.
I'm stuck. Any suggestions would be awesome. I'm not even looking to recover the pictures, I back them up to drop box so the only ones that were messing with the ones that I took yesterday and today, that is no big deal.

LOL I know! Ihave the Samsung Galaxy S 5 for Verizon.
Anyone having issues with Google Photos when using an external SD card? Unless I eject the card, I can't get Google Photos to upload or download any photos. It's either stuck on 'getting photos' (on first launch or after clearing data/cache) or 'waiting to upload' if I've reinserted the SD card after having first successfully set up the app with the SD card removed.
It's not playing nicely. So far, with the SD card inserted, the app is totally useless. I have a couple hundred GB on the SD card so I haven't formatted it.
Any thoughts?
Maybe this is a stupid question, but did you switch the write protection on your SD card? Regardless of its current position, just turn it the opposite.
My card has no such switch unfortunately..
Here's a workaround for the time being,
Make internal storage default photo saving location on your Camera. Move photos from your SD card DCIM folder to your internal DCIM folder, then finally un-mount the SD card. Your photos should start to upload to Google Photos.
I've reported this issue many times to google and they have done nothing about it so I just sort of given up on it. I just un-mount my SD card everytime I want to backup.
Yeah that's essentially what I've been doing. Which is a total PITA.
Interestingly I only had the option to save photos to the internal SD card after 7 days, the option became available about the same time as OEM Unlock.
No problems here. Using a 64GB SD with the camera set to save pictures on the card. Everything uploads fine.

I used a brand new card and it did not require to be formatted. Google Photos asked for SD card permissions and that was that.

Mine was also formatted on a PC and used in an HTC 10. I reformatted it in my S9+ before using it.
Cool. Will reformat my card inside my device then and report back. Thanks for the responses.
Everything good here as well. Maybe delete app then re download it?
Formatting the SD Card inside my s9 immediately resolved this issue. Case closed.
Mine just grabs straight from the card, no issues at all...
Never mind. Overtaken by events.
I am in urgent need of help. I have a non-rooted Mate 20 Pro with a nano memory card. Today I noticed all my photos and videos are gone from the memory card.
All the folders are still there just empty, all my files and music is still there just my photos and videos are not.
I tried connecting it to a computer and the same thing. Empty folders,
I'm not sure what happened as they were all there earlier. I didn't use my phone or do anything out of the ordinary for this to happen.
Im on EMUI 10 currently. I took the memory card out and downgraded back to 9.1 to see if the software was the issue but same thing.
I also tried opening the files in different apps to see if they would show up but nothing.
My memory card still shows the same amount of memory being used as it did before.
I also tried to unhide folders, look into the safe but nothing!
At this point I am quite upset
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It is probably the most obvious assume you have rebooted?
Have you mistakenly ejected the card? If not try ejecting from settings and reinsert.
Are you using stock gallery viewer? Does it need update?
These are the most common/obvious actions, don't have anything else to add if tried and didn't work.

Yes, I have rebooted. I even unmounted it and reset the phone then put it back in and nothing.
I am using stock gallery, I believe it's already updated.
Weirdly all my files and music are still there along with the folders. Just my pictures and videos are gone. I looked to see if they were hidden but they're not. They won't show on the computer either.
I'm not sure what could have possibly happened. They were there in the morning and then they disappeared. I didn't take the card out or anything.
Are there apps that could somehow erase all your photos and videos if you install them. I can't think of anything else it could have been. I've never had any problems until now.
The newest thing I have done is update do EMUI 10 but even after the update everything was still there until the other day when they just disappeared on me.
Do you use Google Photos App? If Yes, see if you can find the missing photos and video with in Google Photos. Google Photos once uploaded will remove the local storage.

I tried. Nothing. There are some .hidden or .outside files in some of the folders. I tried to set it to show hidden files just in case but it still didn't pop up.
I'm going to try getting a nano card reader to see if maybe the phone is somehow doing something to the card. In the meantime I'm no longer using so no more damage gets done just in case.
