Storage Card Not Being Discovered

---

My HD2 either doesn't discover the storage card, or loses it after just a few moments.
I have tried two different cards (the 2GB supplied and my 8GB microSDHC).

Has anyone had a similar problem?
Any ideas?

Or is my phone defective.... Help!

^2 options

either storage card is defective or phone is defective...

seems like you did a cross change...

try another storage card on HD2 and try your HD2 storage card on another phone.

then you know which one causes this.

Usually 95% of the cases its the storage card thats defective

My 8Gb card works in my Xperia X1 - the card is a Sandisk Micro SD HC. Whereas the card supplied is a 2Gb Sandisk Micro SD.

Not sure what HC is.

I assume the HD2 can take a 8Gb card - but unsure about the difference in the cards.

HC = High Capacity IIRC

The HD2 can take an 8gb card.

The cards don't seem to be faulty (that is assuming that you've tested the 2gb also).

Try a reset/hard boot. I have had this issue before with other phones and that sometimes fixes

indeed SD stands for Secure Digital and HC for High Capacity...

the next generation will be SDXC (with eXtended capacity)...but thats coming 2010 or 2011..

anyway seems like your phone has an issue. Because HTC devices of the last few years are all capable of SDHC memory cards and they support either 16 or 32 GB.

I would make use of my warranty. But before try a hard reset.

Thank you all for the information.

The HD2 doesn't like that 8GB SDHC Card. When in the memory section of the phone, it recognises it, displays it used/free space, then shortly afterwards states no card is installed!

A hard reset, if no luck, I'll return it... fingers crossed.

Crap!

Hard reset didn't work! Why do I always get the duff unit!

I find it strange that it detects the card for a while then loses it...

Sending it back tomorrow for exhange....

thats the only reason I'm not such a big fan of online orders...in warranty cases everything takes a little longer.

but don't be discouraged...worse things happen in life. keep your head up

At least in the UK you are covered by Distance Selling Regulations. Hope you get it sorted soon mate!
