Question TROUBLESHOOTING (For sdcard)

Here's a simple guide/solution if anyone who have problems with their microsdcard

1.Blank Sdcard notification

If u have partition on ur sdcard and u switch from 2.1 to 2.2, u need to reformat the card. Because 2.2 does not need the 2nd partition.

When u had partition your sdcard on 2.1 rom and u get blank notification, please do a reboot. it will eliminate the meassge.
ps:i do recommend using ext2 as 2nd partition and use link2sd as u can manually select the apps, dalvik-cache files and the libs files

2.Unrecognised, Failed to read sdcard, damage sdcard and etc

Required a laptop/computer assistance
Please try this method before you try anything else. usually this will solve all the problem you facing
1.Go to my computer and right click on your sdcard icon
2.Select properties and then click on the Tools tab
3.Click on error checking/check now
4.Remember to tick on the automatic fix and then click start

this will required 10 to 20 minute, depending on the size of your sdcard.

3.Last resort
Format your sdcard using your x10 or pc.
if both method cant be using, re-partition your sdcard using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 6.0. set it as primary and using FAT32

Sdcard reading and writing speed slow?
For non-rooted and rooted user
Mount your sdcard from your pc and use this Defraggler and defrag your sdcard. credit to 28spawn

For rooted user only
go to this thread increase SD card performance(new Flashable zips), credit to KInG GaME

PS:This troubleshooting method does not 100% will work but since it works for me most of the time, so i wanted to share out. Hope I wont offend anyone.

Mod, if this thread is useless, please delete it and sorry for the trouble.

Thanks for the thread. Tried it on my sd card because it shows blank sd card after I partitioned it into fat32 and ext3 for miui cobrato rom but it didn't work. Nice share anyway.

Nope, I only put in the partitioned sd card into the phone and started it. I partitioned using parted magic. But for MIUI roms, it's needed to partition into ext3 for the ap2sd+ to work.

same problem here. i just can't seem to get the sd card to work after flashing custom 2.2 or 2.3 roms. but the sd card work just fine on any custom 2.1 roms.

i'm currently on ThGo v1.5.5e. this rom works great.

I'm using EWjet 2.3.4x. I plugged the sdcard into my pc, used mini partition tool to reduce the size of fat32 partition and making 800mb of unallocated space at the end of disk. Then I created a new partition (primary ext3) of 800mb, applied and removed the sdcard from pc.

When I plug it on x10 it says that my sdcard is empty.
I already tried to reboot twice and it keeping saying that is empty.

Link2SD says that I don't have a second partition, but I created a 800mb ext3 partition.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

well, i tried formating it to fat32 through windows and it worked. but what boggles me is that only some 2.3 roms can detect my sd card. thgo and ewjet works just fine. any miui roms and others doesn't seem to find the sd card. it just says sd card not present or unmounted sd card.
