where did you buy the card? what brand is it? how did you format it before it crash? is the card size displayed on the PC correct?

[furian]

i bought it @ norrod in groningen/holland.. brand ... dunno... i used the phone to format it right after i bought it... and yes.. its being displayed normally.. unless it crashes.. cause even on the computer it wont copy things off.

[furian]

even though.. it crashed again.. all the data was gone.. but at memory it still sees 50 mb used.. :\

god damn it.. i'm going to throw that *#&(#&%(&^)@)(!(@%$& phone out the window :S

I presume Norrod is a name of a shop. Anyway, it seems to be reputable. Unless you can confirm the brand, chances are it may be a faulty one (luck is not on your side). However, the good news is that, it may be a 1 off thing that it may not happen again. There are chances of SD card being wacky if you have your phone hanged and soft reset, which happened to be once when I was messing with my phone. But it never occurred again.

As for formatting on the phone, there are members reporting problems with card formatted on the phone. Since you have formatted on the PC, it ought to solve that problem. Hopefully it won't happen again.

well i had a 512 mb kingston before.. and it crashed 2.. so i threw it away.. cause it had bad sectors.. ( i had that 1 for about 1 year...)

and now this 1 crashes.. i thought mayby it had something to do with the underground edition and the omapclock.. from 180 to 228 or 240..

but it doesn't seem to be.. cause i've been running the last 2 days on normal 180...

I have a 2Gb unbranded memory card and have the same problem, I've managed to find that the memory gets corrupt when the card gets cold (3-4 Deg c), it's fine at room temp.

Got to replace it at some point.

Kingston cards usually have a lifetime guarantee... if you are able to find the package and the card, you may able to get yourself a new card.

hi

Try benchmark tools to evaluate the memory card..
before buying the memory cards..

What is it about SD cards and Wizards. If mine takes a slight knock it cant see the card anymore - I have to re-insert it.

I recently got a cheap 2GB card from Hong Kong. Was a load of rubbish. Top tip, dont make the same mistake. Basically had a load of bad sectors and crc write errored all the time.

I have my old 1GB card in at the mo, and apart from the knocking issue (almost certainly a fault with the wizard) it works fine.

Anyone come across the issue where the SD card cant be seen by the phone anymore?

Hi everyone, I recently started having the same problem with my 1gb mem card, and its starting to annoy me now. Would'nt mind to much if I new what caused it. I havent knocked the phone or played around the the mini sd card.

Quick question, Just wondering whats the largest memory card you can put in a xda mini s.

Thanks
