Default mircoSD card pops out of slot all the time

Hi,

i have a Sandisk 8gb micro-sdhc. As soon as I snap in the card, it pops out again. Sometimes it lasts in there for about 5 seconds and pops out again before i close the cover.

Has the Polaris a hardware failure or what can i do? Shall I give it back? I'm from Germany. We can swap it with a new one, without problem.

I read about this problem before but I can't find the thread.

Have you pushed the card far enough? You must feel the resistence of a spring and the card should snap when releasing.

Here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385669

I would suggest replacing the card with any other MicroSD card to see
if the other one fits correctly. If not, you know that it is a hardware
issue of your device.

I did push it as far as I could with my fingernail. It made a click-sound, but after a few seconds it jumps out again. I have no other card for testing. I think replacing the phone is the best.

Or is there any other testing method?

Altough the card jumps out often from my Polaris, it fits very tight in my microsd->sd card adapter.

It looks like that your card slot doesn't work properly.
Recommend to get your TC replaced.

Yeah, i called my dealer. He says, I must return it within 14 days and there must not be scratches and I may only call 15 minutes, to get it replaced. But my 14 days are expired. Because of this, I have to send the phone without accessories back to repair it.

I had the same problem.

I put one drop of superglue on the long edge of the card (let it dry!), and now the card fits fine.
