I have a very wierd problem with my storage card.

The last I recall. I was deleting a picture from the HTC album.
The next thing was all data in the storage card is missing.
The folders were all missing except for the DCIM folder.
On checking the disc space. It seems the files were all still there.
I even unhide all files however still not visible.
Anyone any idea wat to do?

Could it be the storage card is damage? Anyway to retrieve my files?

As far as I know, there is some programs, which restore files on on storage card. I had data lost about 3 months ago. To the best of my memory, I used Pocket Mechanic. Also you may try connect your device as USB-flash and try to restore data using programs for recover files from flash drives.

Good luck =)

hi,

i have my cruise for 1 year now, and i also had encountered storage card data loss 2 times this month. with 2 different SDHC cards, 4Go and 8Go.

never happened before, i can't understand why now. (ROM M-AMINE).
a friend of mine who's got his cruise with genuine rom from htc had the same probleme last month.

when this happens, the only folder remaining in the card is "inbox.000xx" that's all. the thing is some hidden data still using space when you check on a laptop.

i could recover most of the pictures with a dedicated software.

i can't trust this phone anymore, so i will change soon.

cheers.

I've had similar problems with folders disappearing randomly and file corruption on the SD card. I'm guessing that the file system on the SD card gets corrupted due to the crashes.
I've nailed down the issue to Spb Wireless Monitor, since uninstalling this software my phone is a lot more stable and no data loss from the sdhc memory card. May want to give this a try.

This question has been asked a few dozen times, and the answer keeps coming back to the HTC encryption and how bad it is. TURN IT OFF it can not be trusted and it is on by default. Its not even worth explaining why it is so bad and the causes behind it.. just disabled it and forgetaboutit!

I'm having the same problem. Just turned off and will see. I hope that's it. Already bought new microSD...., nevermind.
