Problems with my transcend micro SDHC card

[mainstang]

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.

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.
