I have the same issue ... brand new phone, brand new stock SD Card .....

No apps installed, the Photo widget kept giving me errors ... so I found out that it cannot read the SD card ...

this is crap !
[Desire General] iflya:
I can confirm that it is after unplugging the phone from a charger that 'upsets' something causing the phone not to recognise the SD Card. (SDMount does NOT re-mount the card in this situation).

This suggests that there is a power anomoly that goes across the SD card when / after charging which is causing the cards to fail after a period of time. Whether this is a hardware issue or a result of bad cards i do not know, but i know that myself and many others will be needing a replacement card Free of Charge...

E:)
[Desire General] panosx:
Of course it's better to put the blame on a batch of cards than your on own s/w or h/w, but that is totally untrue as many ppl have had problems with other cards.

Anyway, the problem has seemed to stop since I deleted my flickr account in sync settings. That also seems to have solved the calendar eating up the battery problem..

I also deleted the calendar widget from my screen so maybe that has to do with something. Just give us froyo already..
[Desire General] Aitese:
I can safely say it must be a batch of defective cards that went out with the phones, because I too had this issue...every flipping day it would happen, sometimes more than once a day. But since buying a Sandisk 32gb card from Vodafone two weeks ago it's not happened even once. No problem with plugging in a charger, switching to disk mode, unmounting, restarting...just none of the issues that the old card was showing.
[Desire General] panosx:
Then maybe it is a compatibility issue with some types of cards. Many people have reported the problem with 16gb cards.
[Desire General] djoni1980:
My microSD card works fine since I formatted it. I just hope it won't happen again.

So many people had this issue - I'm hesitating to sell my old phone, since Desire is so unreliable :(
[Desire General] fefede:
I've the same problem :(

I'm going to buy a new sd card, any suggestion to avaoid comaptibility problems ?

I wrote to htc and i'm waiting an answer. Is there a way to avoid the corruption ?

I'm not able to read it on windows pc and i'm not able to format it because i get the message "write protected" and it is not protected.

Is it a card issue or a phone issue ? If it is a phone prblem i hope i is related to software and not hardware ....

Thank you
[Desire General] -A-P-M-:
I have this problem too. It happens once or twice a week, after restarting a phone it works again for a few days. I guess this must be SW problem. If SD card would be broken, I don't think it would work after rebooting.
[Desire General] carrige:
Hi all, didn't notice this thread was still alive/moved here.

If you're still having problems, I'd suggest trying a different (possibly branded) SD card. The stock HTC card that I had was messing up, but I replaced it with a 4GB card I had from another phone and have not had the problem since then (almost two months).

FWIW, the one I'm using now is a Kingston 4GB.
[Desire General] tulliofn:
This is what i got when i mailed HTC

Dear Tulliofn, Thank you for contacting us. In regards to your inquiry about the sd card issue, I can help you with that. HTC has been reported about that sd card is not function very well in this particular device. Our developers are working to get this issue fix with a rom update or a hotfix but still have no information when this will be available to download from our web site. However you can contact us by the phone and the agent will help your with further support regarding the sd card issue. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC. Best regards, Richard G HTC

It seems to be a software issue.... lets hope that they can fix this soon, because i have to restart my phone EVERYTIME i need to use the camera or listen to music....

This problem will get worse when they update to froyo, because we will be able to install programs in the SD card
[Desire General] darrenk232:
Hi, this is my first post but I've been a long time lurker. I've had this problem progressively get worse and I run a 16gb Sandisk card. After trying lots of different things, I read that removing the flickr account may help. Well it seems to have done the trick. It's been a week and I've not had a single occurence of this problem. I too have spoken to HTC support and they've informed me there is a patch due for release in a week or two. I asked specifically if it was 2.2 but was told emphatically that no, it was a patch and not froyo.

Hope this helped.
[Desire General] Desirefan:
I've had my Desire since the end of April and had this happen about 4 times. The first time I reformatted my card and when I loaded stuff on again it was fine for about a month. After that it has happened again approx every 2 weeks, but I haven't needed to reformat or even reboot, just seemed to fix itself after a few hours (I was at work so couldn't do much else) and has been ok for a good few weeks now.

Never an issue that I noticed with the camera though - always happens when trying to listen to music or watch video.

I don't have ebuddy and always unmount phone properly from PC. I'm a bit hesitant to fork out for a new SD card as some seem to be having the same problem with them too. I'll just wait around for a fix I guess, and not keep anything important on my phone SD card in the meantime.
[Desire General] cbravo:
Before few days, I bought new 8GB, no name class 6 micro SD card and phone is really faster in both accessing photos and videos and i don't had any error issue by now.... Before, i had to restart phone almost twice at day, to be able to take a photo, or access SD card content....
[Desire General] kurgandk:
HTC told me to do a restet of the device...

but Ive found the issue to happen _MUCH_ more frequently when Im using wifi

so my assumption is that the issue is buried in there somewhere, and htc is just stalling for time asking us to reset our devices..

hopefully it will be better with 2.2
[Desire General] djoni1980:
have you tried two basic things:

1) reformat sd card in fat32, and then

2) avoid unplugging usb in disk drive mode (unplug it ONLY in charge only)

that solved the problem for me
[Desire General] kurgandk:
i havent reformatted my card..

but I havent had my phone hooked to my laptop for a long time, so the issue is surely not restricted to that.
[Desire General] beebow:
i thought i had a similar problem when my phone would start up and a couple of things would go wrong:

1. the music widget wouldnt load a song, and upon clicking it, it would say there is no sd

2. the photo album would say there is no sd

3. rarely i would get a message saying unable to load gadgets (and all widgets/programs wouldnt work - scary)

however, despite all this, i would go into root explorer and enter the sdcard folder and everything would still be there to browse. Even stranger was the fact that the photos that couldnt load in the widget were able to be viewed by the standard viewer. and music that couldnt be played in the widget could be played in the proper music player!

i would often have to switch off and take the sd out to fix this issue. but tonight i decided to take a photo and the photo actually saved. and then using 3D gallery i was able to view that photo along with the rest of them! and then everything else was able to work again too. then i just deleted that photo i took.

quite a specific problem which sounds different to everyone else's. its a roundabout fix but it sure as hell beats a restart with removal of back cover, battery and sd card T_T
[Desire General] LF142:
I hope/think/believe I fixed this error for those interested, I use my EVO for work and need it to work without a hitch....

Here goes (**Note i am a noob with smartphones with a dangerous amount of IT knowledge - disclaimer for those brave enough to browse around the root files and SD card files; I am not responsible for you bricking your phone, I am only trying to help those in need and putting in my 2 cents_)

Download and open the app ---> Root Explorer (or any other root explorer for that matter) from Android market.

Once Root Explorer is open (look up top/left it will say) Mounted as r/o (means read only) - press the white button to mount it as r/w (read & write)

Press and long hold on the SD card directory (folder) - you will get another window from which you must select the permissions option.

Under top option USER - check all marks -- READ WRITE AND EXECUTE & click OK.

VERY IMPORTANT - Click on the (white button) Mount as r/o to write protect your root files on your phone again.

I just applied this fix about 45 mins ago and seems to be working......updates to come if issues persist or re-surface. (**Note I could not see photos or play music and some apps were also giving me FCs (intermittently) due to permission or write errors to SD card; and now it's working like nothing ever happened.)

What I have ::: stock ROM on EVO supersonic with recent HTC updates applied - standard 8Gig SD card provided with phone / had rooted but put back stock ROM for preference issues.

Hope this info helps some folks...very frustrating issue.

Cheers
[Desire General] kurgandk:
2.2 is coming to desire this weekend, so I hope that update will fix the problem
[Desire General] huleboeren:
Thats nice LF142 but my card is completely dead now so dont your guide will be able help at this point :-D

I bought a 16gb class 2 from sandisk alnost a week ago and its working so far without any issues - but we will see..
[Desire General] Legendismyname:
SD unaccesseble!

Heello

I have a Legend that maybe have the same problem like some of yours have.

I cant access the sd card at all, not from computer either. Yesterday I was searching for some help to root my phone, but without making a "gold card" and the phone wont access the sd card its totally useless.

I have tried:

Another SD card - without any luck.

fixing it with fastboot oem enablexdmq 0 commando. - without luck.

Resoldering the sd card reader.. (I am a electronical technician) - without luck.

Now im stock!

My Legend was sent to repair for a bad functioning touchscreen, and when it came back it had this error. Before I sent it in for repair, it sometimes took long times to find the sd card. But now its totally dead.

I think it must have something to do with the software.. but I dont know.

HTC your phones sucks! Thats my opinion.

I dont have money to buy a new phone.. so now I'll have to live with this useless piece og ****!

Hope somebody find the solution! :mad:
[Desire General] Albert Poon:
My problem is a bit different. My SD card will be unmounted only when hooked up with a USB cable, no matter to the adapter or PC.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Connect via USB cable (to adapter or PC isn't relevant)

2. Charge only (Ask me or not isn't relevant)

3. SD card will be umounted in Charge only mode. AutoPlay will show up in PC. No notification shown if connected to the adaptor, SD card will still be unmounted

Workaround:

1. If connected to PC. Pull down notification and tap on Charge only and select charge only - Done again, SD will be back (see how silly)

2. If connected to adaptor, no solution (THIS KILLS ME!!!!!!!)

A fix is very appreciated
[Desire General] disaster_ita:
Today I have connected wired headphone (those originals in the phone box) to my Desire for the first time. I don't think that this is the cause, but after that I started rec app (first time too) and a popup tell mi to insert sd card?! After a notification tell me always that it is possible to remove sd card. I can't mount sd card no more. Why?

If I try to install from settings | sd and storage a message on notification bar tell "preparing sd card..." and than again "It is possible to remove sd card safely".

If I connect phone to PC via USB I don't see any driver connected and on the phone there is no option activate mass storage. After a while a removable drive appear on PC, but no card inserted.

Some advice?
[Desire General] kurgandk:
I just want to say that since i upgraded to 2.2 ive had no problems, so hopefully its been fixed...
[Desire General] rottunix:
Hi,

I had this problem since the Froyo update. Before that everything was just fine. I had to restart the phone each time.

I formatted the card, but the issue was not solved.

What I did was a factory reset and since then I didn't have this problem.

Before I also had moved apps to card but now I didn't yet. After I am sure it's ok, I will move some apps to the card to see if the issue will start again or no.

I also contacted HTC and gived them some links to forums about this issue and they ask me to call them to escalate the issue. But I am troubleshooting before I contact them so I have something that makes sense to tell them.

If problem appears again I will let you know...

[Desire General] well0549:
I never had this problem, but after the royo update i did encounter problems with my SD card.

I did a compltete format of the SD card(Used the phone for it) did a factory reset and formated the card. But still i would occasionally ( varying from once every two days, to three times a day ) that it would not mount my SD card or it was mounted readonly.

After a week i got so bored with this problem that i decided to buy a new SD card, and the problems have all gone away. I bought a Sandisk Ultra 16 GB card.

I do suspect that it has something to do with android and the speed of the SD card, if the specific "We don't know what operation causes this" failes the cards get's unmounted (or mounted readonly). This failing could be caused by the phone beeing too fast for the SD card. (or the SD card beeing to slow).

After my upgrade to a new and fast card i have never seen this problem again.......
[Desire General] Hooolm:
Well, to add my .02 - I had a problem today where I could only browse the card (using ES File Explorer). I could see the files but not use them, as in couldn't play music, see images, juice plotter graphs and whatever.

Tried several reboots, still no luck.

After googling extensively and reading a bit on xda, I tried hooking the Desire to my MacBook Pro (disk drive mode), which took a while but worked fine. I backupped my pictures and nandroids to my Mac, and disconnected the Desire after ejecting it properly, which I admit I'd never done before.

After having done that, no problems.

Just my experience.
[Desire General] tekarn:
Hi, i have exactly the same problem with the SD not mounting! Have you had any luck in solving the problem?

EDIT: Via an SDadapter I inserted the memory card in a digital camera and to my surprise it was possible to format the card there! So now the card is back in business, although it´s named "EOS Digital" when connected to PC:) All this summer's camera pictures are gone though:( Running a recovery app now too see if anything can be saved.

Damn, this isn´t the first time an android phone messes with the SD card, my Magic used to do that a lot too...
[Desire General] nharber:
Has anyone found a solution to this ? I have exactly the same issue.
[Desire General] huleboeren:
I ended up buying a 16gb class2 sandisk - its been 1-2 months and the weird unmounting issues have gone away.

HTC wouldnt even replace the old card - well **** you then I wont be getting a htc next time..
[Desire General] owziee:
Try another card... I bought a 16 GB some strange brand, "ZAP Glider" and the reseller told me there had been no problems with that brand and that it was working great... It gave me all kind of problems, apps disappeared, the card was unmounting for no reason and my whole device became sluggish as hell...

So now I'm back using the stock 4 GB Sandisk which has been working like a dream on my Desire... But I definitely need more space so I'll get an 8 or 16 GB Sandisk the next time because Sandisk have never given me any problems, I'm sure there are other brands that I haven't tried that are working just as good though...
[Desire General] supasye:
I had this problem and i found one corrupt file on the card. In androidsecure folder.

Go for class4 if u can someone in this forum said desires have some issues with class2, dont ask me how.
[Desire General] remofo:
Plug your SD card into a card adaptor & then into your PC

Right-click the SD card, go to Properties | Tools | Error-checking

Select Check Now...and check both boxes and click Start.

That should do it.
[Desire General] aloner:
Same problem here.

When I plugged in my brand new Desire to charge for the second time, the stock 4GB SD card refused to mount correctly and displayed a "read-only" error message. It could not be unmounted to be formatted and was not accesible from a PC either.

I had to replace the card with a Kingston 8GB and have not had a problem since.

I suspect the stock 4GB SD card that came with my Desire was faulty....

Is this a common trend?
[Desire General] CrimzonEyed:
Meh.

Since i bough my desire it will always mount the SD card when i connect to pc, even if i chose "charge only" it will still mount the sd card but as a non usable unit
[Desire General] Staticsoul:
I'm also having this problem for a while. I just tried the error checking that was mentioned here. And some errors were fixed. Then I put the sd card back in the phone and same problem again. It sometimes even happens that it just doesnt mount when I boot up the phone. When I wait a minute before entering my pin code it does mount I dont know if this is a coincidence or not. If I do it too early my phone even freezes and I have to pull out the battery.

I tried another card, formatting, hard reset. none of these things help...
[Desire General] niko4ever:
RE

i have same problem on my HTC Desire HD, i am using the original 8GB SD card

still no solution ?
[Desire General] trinitys_mate:
About a month ago I had the problem of my mSD 'disappearing', It came back on once for a few hours then went again, I think both times it was after unhooking from pc, this was with the original sammy card.

I purchased a Sandisc 8gig class 4 card then, for the last couple of weeks its bee fine, then last night after removing from my pc it then disappeared. I have been turning on -off removing card, un-mounting and mounting to pc and the same with a widget and still the phone wont recognise it!

What the hell is going on HTC?????

Why create a copy of your thread here ?

you can add picture please.
[Nexus One Android Development] djmcnz:
Nice, never thought of that and it's better than horizontal I think.

Is there any flexibility to change the actual functions? Any chance the get Airplane mode on this widget (ideally instead of brightness)?
[Nexus One Android Development] bluedragon1982:
i created a copy here, cuz it has MDPI Support for G1/MT3G and HDPI Support for the Nexus

ill add screenshots from my G1 later when iam at home

idk if it is possible, i only asked @anderweb to make me this for eclair with mdpi and hdpi support. And i start to theme it transparent, atm only the mdpi version is themed, ill hope to get the hdpi themed soon, but i need testers for the hdpi theme cuz i only have a G1
[Nexus One Android Development] bluedragon1982:
Updated OP and added Screenshots, sorry, themed atm only the MDPI Version

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zetetikos:
The light behind the home button on my Fuze came on yesterday and stays on. It comes on as soon as you turn the phone on. It's very, very bright, much more so then when then lights come on behind the other buttons when they go active. Makes it hard to look at the phone. I pretty sure it's a hardware short but I thought I'd double check on the forum so see if anyone thinks it could be software or some setting I don't know about. Not as strange as it might sound. I've had other issues where setting got changed when the phone was in my pocket.

I'm not looking forward to trying to disassemble this thing. The Hermes was enough of a pain. I'm guessing this one is worse.

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] voona:
I have the same problem since yesterday, so if anyone knows the solution I'd appreciate if he can share it.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] voona:
The issue has gone by itself, so I presume it was some hardware issue caused by excess moisture (phone had contact with my wet hait/ear when I had to answer call when I was in the shower... too many information for some, I know ;) )
[HD2 General] NIKOSXRI:
Is it possible to change the vibration level?

I know it is for htc calculator.

But what about vibration during a call?

Thanks!!

guys, this is my first time (newbie)...

just wanna ask how to increase mic volume in my HD??

when i make a call, everybody always said that i'm talk to far from my phone and difficult to hear me...

how can i fix that?

thax
[Touch HD General] bellbudi:
ya... i have same problem with you...
[Touch HD General] tsalta:
I never hear about App that increase the mic volume.. and also i don`t know whitch ROM`s u use but im sure if this is not Hardware problem like i think is more Software problem if you flash a NEW rom the problem will be solved.

[XPERIA X10 General] pepsi20185:
Better fone all 2gether
[XPERIA X10 General] riz157:
Yes video playback and picture quality is definetly better, but I feel overall Desire does seem to function better and with less bugs.

X10 looks better, screen size to my liking but too many bugs. Potential to be a cracking device but not quite there yet, where as Desire works better out of the box.
[XPERIA X10 General] cashaw:
Hmm, curious how you have the same traffic passing at the same time in both those videos.... ;-)
[XPERIA X10 General] nkolsen:

HAHAHAHAHAH...... thought that was obvious.. apparently not!... Yeah.. X10 camera rules..
[XPERIA X10 General] johfel:
My wife has X10, i myself have a desire.

They could at least have cleared the lense on the Desire, and maybe tweaked the settings at bit... ;-)

Alltogehther, X10 has at better camera, but the films we have made havent made that profound difference.

Biggest downside using the deisres videocam is the awful sound- its really crap.
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
yeah i think with some setting changes the desire should probably not look that bad.
