I did not have that problem with HD2 yet however my XDA Orbit 2 went through 5 SD cards, 2x2GB, 1x4GB and 2x8GB. In that time I sent phone for repair and it was returned "repaired" to eat last two 8GB cards.
I sent it again and told them new or cash, got new no problems from then.

Cards were 100% unusable as most of the time they were not detected up on inserting them to reader. If they did get detected as soon as you tried to open or right click or system tried to scan all PC stopped.

Today I have experience some problems with the phone, so I decided to do hard reset. First I pull out the SD card(HD2 turned off), and I inserted into my lap top with adapter in order to backup my pictures and music and to format the card. I backup the data, but when I tried to format the card, I get message "windows was unable to complete the format". I also tried with several other options like: cmd format, safe mode format, sdformatter 2.0 but nothing help. The strangest thing is that I can delete the files(normally, I enter the card and via shift+delete on files), but after refresh on the windows explorer the files are back! I also tried with another laptop, I double checked the safety switch on the left side of the SD card, I even try to format via HD2, but files are always back. Nothing helps.

I appreciate assistance please

p.s SD card is SanDisk 2 Gb.
p.p.s I posted the same text in the General topic-SD card strange things!, but no answer so far.:(:(

I have exactly the same problem with my 2Gb Sandisk card that came with my HD2. Windows can't complete the format. I can copy small files onto it but after a certain total size, they seem to copy but after removing and reinserting they go away. When I delete the remaining files, they come back. I ended up buying a 4gb Sandisk card and it works fine for 2 months.

Yes, it seems that some SD cards that come with our phones are not working at all, they will stop working after period of time:confused: Well I will buy 4 GB Apacer.

Hey Guys!!

I work at a retails shop where we sell heaps of memory cards and cameras a day :p.. So im pretty experienced with this issue. The microSD card you get with HTC HD2 is a Class (4) card, which transfers about 5mb/s. which means that it has higher transfer rate compared to the normal everyday microSD cards you buy from your retail shops/ebay which are Class (2) which transfers about 2mb/s.

This is the reason that your HD2 kills all those Class (2) cards.. because when the phone doesn't get the enough transfer rate to read.. after couple of days they all stuff up.

Recommendations:

Try getting the new PANASONIC (JAPANESE MADE) microSD card which has a transfer rate for about 20mb/s :eek: these cards will work like butter..

Thanks for the reply Ravishan, but why is it that just a select group of us are having this problem? I have 3 colleagues who are still using the 8gb Class 2 Sandisk SD card that they received with their HD2s. The only difference is that I bought my HD2 last month and they bought theirs more than 4 months ago.

I thought I found the solution by finding out that there are a bad batch of sandisk 8gb cards since last month going around in Singapore (where my phone was bought). So, I got a new Transcend 4 GB class 2 card and it does after 3 weeks.

Not realy, it was one of many lock-ups so i had to remove the battery to get it restarted again. And i think i was inside resco file explorer and searching on of my PC harddrives with wifi when my device freezed. But i'm not 100% sure.

Now i have left the card inside the card-reader to see if it will fix itself...
Have been there for a good 30 minutes now... how long can it take?

Recived my new class 4 8 gb card yesterday and i must say it was i boost for my device. Slightly faster! The old one must have been a crappy class 1 or something. :)
