GOT MINE!!

Hey,

I just got my replacement yesterday. It is in fact the same one they shipped before except its class 4. My girl has the same phone so she called yesterday. They told her they were low on class 2s stock and were shipping some class 4s possibly. I got one. Yeeeeaaaahhhh Boyyeeeeee! So far I'm rockin Elegancia's ROM, just waiting to see progress.. No freezes yet. Now in hour 14 since replacing it.. Definitley a painless process.. Definitley worth a call. Old SD card works fine in my camera and digital picture frame.. Free is for me!!:D:D:D
[HD2 General] prudviraj:
Well,

When did you call them? i called them monday morning and they said they will ship the class2 for me :mad: I hope they run out of stock and ship me class 4.... guys, so please let us know what class you get...

i talked to them for 6 replacements for my family and friends.. called them 3 times.. but always said it was a class 2
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
mine have been shipped. Let's hope for class4, but free 16gb cards are free 16gb cards.
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
I agree! Free is free! Guess we cant complain! I'll load the other one with more movies lol. Use it on my netbook lol.

Ive only got about 1GB of music on mine, an Android build and 4 movies. Still have about 5GB free.
[HD2 General] rr5678:
Ordered Monday, it's Thursday, still waiting.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
update on new sd cards. They came today and as expected they are the same cards that I got 2 weeks ago. Samsung class2 16gb.
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
thanx for the update! im not too knowledgeable on class2, class4 and class 6 cards. what is the difference anyways? i hope mine comes in soon!!
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
the class is the minimum transfer speeds. Class 2 is the slowest, then class4, class6, etc.

Most cards are above the minimum anyways so it really depends on the card how much the class matters, i.e. some higher quality class2 cards will transfer faster than lower end class4 cards.
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
aaaah that explains why it transfers so slow even in disk drive mode!!! thanks!!!
[HD2 General] caffeinejunky:
out of stock. -___-

I called HTC today, and just to let you guys know sd cards for the hd2 are currently on backorder and we will have to call back on Monday to get our cards shipped to us. 3 day wait but for the price of free its worth it. :D
[HD2 General] savd:
I got my replacement and its samsung class 2
[HD2 General] damnitpud:
So i just called HTC and the CSR sounded annoyd when i said I am having issues with my HD2 and TMobile told me its the SD Card and i would need to call HTC. He told me that they will not be taking orders on SD Cards until Monday, So i asked Is that because a lot of people are having issues with their SD Cards? He said Well a bunch of people are taking advantage of a situation and now we can not replace anymore SD Cards until Monday.

This really sucks cause my 16 GB card died like 2 months ago and HTC told me they do not replace SD Cards....i am trying to legitly get a new SD Card and i was denied =(...Bastard XDA'rs heh
[HD2 General] cr1130:
Sorry for the late reply.. But I contacted them on Wed 9/29. Took almost a week to come but it did. BTW- my girl wasn't so lucky.. They gave her the runaround and told her to take it to T-Mobile store first so they can "check" to see if the card is bad. I can only assume everyone in the world with and HD2 has been calling them within the past 19 days regarding the SD card freeby.. Hope you got it by now tho..
[HD2 General] Rob2222:
Which brand/type are the bad cards?

Maybe SanDisk 16GB SDHC Class 2?

BR

Rob
[HD2 General] prudviraj:
Well.. when i called them on the 7th, they transferred me to the tech and i said " Card keeps hanging when playing music, i have to pull out my card and battery and restart and then pop the card in.. He asked if i talked to T-mobile.. i said I did and it was they who gave me this number (which i did not). He asked again if everything works fine when another card is used. I said yeah i am using sandisk class4 8GB.. so he was tongue tied and transferred me the the customer reps and i told him about this.. immediately he took an order and said he will ship the card within a week...

So, all the best for guys who have a faulty micro SD...
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
seems most of us are getting samsung class2 16gb, though at least one person said he was getting a class4 (but I doubt it).
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
I'm sorry htc lied to you but I don't know why you are crying on here. I too had my sd card die about 2months ago (2weeks after I got the phone). I talked to t-mobile, they told me to call htc, they told me they would get a new one out to me but it was backordered. Finally got it about 10-14days ago. So when I heard that they were replacing all sd cards, your damn right I called and got all 3 replaced, instead of waiting for one to die on me again. I'm kinda tired of having to scandisk my damn cards a couple of times a week.

On a side note, I am going to scan my sd card regularly (but not fix) and see what happens (any errors).
[HD2 General] Rob2222:
And what was the problem with these cards?

BR

Rob
[HD2 General] prudviraj:
When i called on the 7th. After a lot of hassle they accepted to take my order, and when i asked about the card.. he said i would get another brand class 2 and after a pause he said i have more chances of getting a class 4.

So keeping my fingers crossed.. :) Whatever it is.. Free is Free... cant deny that.. :D
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
Micro SD Cards in HTC HD2 TMOUS **Interesting**

I got my replacement HD2 in from TMO a few days ago and its working fine. An interesting tidbit about the Micro SD card is that when i tried to format a 1GB Sandisk Micro SD Card in my old HD2 it would not format. Took forever to even try because i had to reboot the phone over and over and over...etc until the screen would and then would go out again.

When I got my new HD2 I put the card in and formatted it with ease. Then I was able to flash back to stock SPL and ROM. Interesting though that the phone would not format the card but the new one did. Maybe an issue with old phone. I did get it back in May 2010.

dont know if anyone else experienced this.
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
SD Card Update! Samsung Class 2

I got my card in thanks to a friend that checked my mail and I got a Samsung Class 2 16GB card in. So that's probably what u all can expect!
[HD2 General] xnifex:
how are these being delivered? in the mail, by fedex or ups? if its by fedex/ups did you get a tracking #?
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
corrupt files after very little use. My sandisk, I am having to scandisk and correct errors a couple of times a week or I get corruption. Just the other day, my whole xda_uc folder was corrupted. That really sucked.

I had one card that was completely corrupted and unable to be read under 2 weeks after I got the phone.

The lady I talked to at htc admitted there was a software error in the production of the sandisk class2 which is why they were giving out replacements. It's a freaking recall, they should honor all requests for new cards. To me it's not taking advantage of the situation when the cards were bad to begin with.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
fedex, I got a tracking number emailed to me when it shipped.
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
i got mine Fed Ex. They told me it would be through Fed Ex when I called. They gave me an order #.
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
New Card

i forgot to mention earlier in my post about recieving my card that it comes already formatted for the HD2 as if it came with the phone. Has both Transformers movies on it and two demo games.

cant wait to get home and check it out.
[HD2 General] colbey427:
I purchased a class 6 card and installed it today. My HD2 has gotten really fast. Will report more once it has had time to prove itself.
[HD2 General] xnifex:
what size class 6 card & how much did it run you?
[HD2 General] clark.sober:
I called a few minutes ago, and was told 2 options: 1) to ship the old one back then get the new one shipped 2) redister the credit card to ship the new one immediately, will credit it back after they receiced the old one. The shipping is on customer:(

Maybe it's my bad luck:(
[HD2 General] xnifex:
if you read through this thread you'll see that HTC seems to have stopped this. You can try what others have done & just keep calling back until someone sends it for free
[HD2 General] abhi28479:
Same response to my call too...anybody able to crack this argument?
[HD2 General] rr5678:
Probably because of the hundreds of people calling at once they've canceled the giveaway
[HD2 General] t69broken:
+1 called twice too both said the same thing. They must have gotten the memo.
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
damn! guess they might have caught onto these threads.

still though if they are defective they should replace them at no cost to the consumer! Its the only fair thing to do. I mean I dropped $300 bucks for my HD2 because I wasnt eligible for a full upgrade so after TMOs upgrade fee and taxes I paid damn near 3 bills. love the phone though and it was worth the money. especially on a cooked ROM.

sux for those that didnt get the free card. glad I called early! sorry for those of you that didnt get a free card. still though, you can probably find cheap ones online at tiger direct....ebay...etc....

good luck but looks like the luck ran out!
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
micro Sd cards......question to others

is there a way to edit the thread title? ive noticed that ROM developers change their threads to reflect the latest ROM update date.

how do i change the thread title if possible? wanted to update it so that people know this free card offer is quite possible done!!
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
i think they wised up to the fact that we were all calling. Western Digital RMAs require either the replacing hard drive to be returned first or a credit card auth before a new unit is sent. Guess HTC is doing this now too!
[HD2 General] Wdave:
yup, they changed the policy today.
[HD2 General] xnifex:
go to your first post & click edit & then go to advanced edit & then you can change the title
[HD2 General] ergibson83:
Just wanted to say I got my replacement card in the mail today via Fedex. It's a class 2 samsung card and it comes with all the preloaded HD2 stuff the original card came with (Transformers 1 and 2, etc.).

I'm sure that means all the replacement cards will be class 2 even though the representative told me it would be a class 4 card when I called in 2 weeks ago.
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
thanx for the info!!! appreciate it!
[HD2 General] asctony:
Got mine, too. Same as above. I was told when I ordered mine that it would be Class 2 and NOT Class 4. It's free and don't have to send my other one back, so it is a WIN Win situation.
[HD2 General] xnifex:
Ordered mine on 10/1 & still haven't received it. Anyone else ordered theres that long ago & still haven't received it?

*edit*

just called & it was barely shipped on the 8th. If you call them, they may give you a fedex tracking# like they just gave me mine.
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
good point to call about the Tracking #. I guess some CSRs are different. Some people got Tracking #s when they first called. I was just given an order number.

I ordered mine less than two weeks ago and I got it in over the weekend. Many have said they are backordered. so that might be the case for some that called much later!!

glad your getting yours on the way!
[HD2 General] scariola:
Damn....

I was going to try this in efforts to get a 16GB card for my NEW HD2.

I bought it second-hand, and it came with no memory card. :mad:

The early bird DOES get the worm. :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
they stopped most likely because not everyone who was calling in actually had issues and were just trying to get a free card. I don't blame them. I removed my class 2 card when I got my phone becuase the data transfer rate from the phone to the PC was pretty bad and also that the movies seemed to stutter a little too much. Replaced it with a class 6 A-Data card and have been totally satisfied with the phone's performance since then.
[HD2 General] menchaca:
Didnt Work

I just tried it and thety said I would have to send the old one back. No free card. It sucks.:(
[HD2 General] xnifex:
I got the Sammy Class 2 card like everyone else
[HD2 General] juggs:
Same here.
[HD2 General] zmattmanz:
Did anyone order a card last week? I ordered last Tuesday.. and called last week to confirm and a rep said it would be 7 days. Not sure what's a goin' on.
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
They probably have a shortage so there might be a delay in receiving yours. I know people have said they was told they were on backorder. I ordered mine two weeks ago and it took about 8 days for it to come in even though they said they was on backorder. Call and get the tracking # for it!
[HD2 General] prudviraj:
just called in today for my order status dated 4th Oct and they dont have stock now and might take atleast a week to 2 weeks... :(
[HD2 General] kgvico:
Waiting for mine too.

I ordered mine at the same day as you, I am wondering is there any possible my order would be canceled like someone has.
[HD2 General] smeddy:
Unlucky the the offer has ended, although I think it's fair of HTC, I'm assuming it was being abused a bit ;)

I'd suggest however that if you do have a GENUINE defective card, you can probably argue your way out of shipping, as it is a genuine fault that they should replace free-of-charge.
[HD2 General] chrisrj28:
Has anyone received a class 4 card at all?
[HD2 General] prudviraj:
You know of any one getting canceled on their order? Since we have an order number, i am sure we are bound to get it... but still keeping fingers crossed.. :)
[HD2 General] toohightocomply:
I also received mine the next day from Indiana, Samsung Class 2, but they sent me 2 cards so I assume it was by accident.. should I keep the extra or send it back with the original?

Quite the moral delima!

I did take issue with the fact that I was told I would receive a class 4, but I got class 2 instead. Haret and Android load twice as fast, so get your pocket books out and git-t-done! Nothing better than slacker tech support double taking the sysinfo stating it is an HD2 running Android.. priceless.
[HD2 General] kgvico:
I am not sure if some's order really has been canceled, I just saw somebody mentioned about the order canceling in the forum... and I have not marked down my order number...:confused: :rolleyes: wait and see what happens
[HD2 General] prudviraj:
Well,

You can call them and give your phone number and they can pull the order number for you. So keep calling until some Good Rep gives you that.. :)
[HD2 General] kgvico:
Thanks for mentioning..
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
order canceled too

HTC called me last night telling me that they had cancled my order. they said that if you did not order it before the 25th of last month that they are changing the rules and you have to return yours to get one or give them a credit card and they will send you one and if you dont return theirs they will charge like 60 something dollars for the one you didnt return! this sucks.
[HD2 General] prudviraj:
Ohh.. that is sad.. when did you place your order for a card? Also, many people who ordered after 25th have already got theirs.. so how do they explain it?
[HD2 General] jsalamy:
Has anyone done a SD Card Speed Test on the card they have gotten?
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
how is it being abused??? They admitted to me on the phone that the sandisk cards shipped with the hd2 are defective. It's a recall.

I got both of mine that I ordered (the third had just been replaced, 2 month backorder).

pay to ship it back to them??? I wouldn't.

I would call and ask to speak to a mgr. Though that was the policy before, apparently they have reinstated it. It's still worth it though. The sandisk cards do have issues with corruption.
[HD2 General] prudviraj:
Guys,

called in today with my order number and he gives me 2 options now. As i dont have my SD card right now.. i think it is a NO GO for me.. Any ideas guys?
[HD2 General] cr1130:
Got Mine!

Hey Guys,

I actually recvd a class 4. Nothing pre-installed on it. Yes I did call on 9/29. Recieved it a little over a week later. Called HTC who DID say there were some issues. However as in my earlier post my girl got a big fat NO when she attempted. They told her to call or go into T-Mobile so they could "test"? I do believe they kind of caught on and I flat out got lucky. The rep told me that they were sending class 4s out for a limited time because of the initial shortage on the original class 2s that they had to replace. Again.. this is HTC themselves who gave me the info and placed my order. Took about 8 business day but i did infact get a 16gig SanDisk card from HTC when I placed my order on 9/29.
[HD2 General] rr5678:
Speed test:

Pathetic, isn't it :p

OLD CARD: Class 2 - Performance between Class 2 and 4

NEW CARD: Class 2 - performance near Class 10

The SanDisk (Old card) has 89MB more space

OLD CARD:15174 MByte

NEW CARD: 15088 MByte

I hope this helps. This exposes the crap from the old SD card.
[HD2 General] rr5678:
Old on the left, New on the right

Windows Explorer measure of new card:
[HD2 General] Ichibahn SLC:
Called HTC on the 5th. Still haven't received my card. Called yesterday and they said that they are waiting for a new shipment and will send mine out as soon as it gets there. Didn't ask for a cc # or anything. Either way i tossed my card when they told me to just discard it.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
Why would you toss the old card before you got the new one?
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
where do i get the app or program to test the card speed? is it a windows program or an android app? i'd like to check it out.
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
they told me to toss the old one. it screws up in the HD2 but on my laptop with a micro sd card adapter it works fine! lol
[HD2 General] ceo4eva:
You've got to be kidding.. lmao.. Most of the people who do this do it to get a second SD card for the hell of it, if anything put it on ebay and get some value for it..
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
or maybe we got it because we are tired of having to scan and fix errors on our original cards and htc finally owned up to the problem. :mad:
[HD2 General] Ichibahn SLC:
I tossed my old card because it was completly dead. Wouldn't work in any phone I tried nor in any of the computers that I have. It was useless.
[HD2 General] rr5678:
it's a Windows program - for the computer.

[HD2 General] aarons6:
same for me.. once i formatted it the first time to remove all the files it never worked right since.. i used the phones format utility.

i put some songs on it, they would all get corrupted and the phone would stop reading the card as if nothing was inserted.. i tried to format the card in the computer and it would work for a few days but then the songs would have noise in them after awhile.

i too am waiting for my sdcard, i have a feeling tho im not going to get it.
[HD2 General] Ichibahn SLC:
I was told mine is being shipped and will be here in the next day or two. Will post once I get it or if I dont.
[HD2 General] prudviraj:
Tip for Getting your card without having to send the old one.

Guys,

I ordered on the 4th of Oct and i got my cards.. actually 4 of them without having to send them my old ones. And here's what i did

I called HTC @ 425 679 5318.

Wait until you hear Gooooood mornin HTC..

Just ask her to transfer the call to Pay (Paula Zamora)

Now talk to Pay in an Irritated tone and tell her the Stupid People of HTC and their policy change and stuff (you know better).

She will take the details and most likely ship the card within 24 hours

IF you want to do it the peaceful way... OR if you are out of the county and have an US address, Just send an email with your Name, Ph NO and Order number and tell her you waited enough and you need the cards immediately.. And you should receive your tracking number within 24 hours..

email ID: paola_zamora@htc.com

I hope all my Xda friends get their cards.. All the best people..

Thanks,

Raj
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
Thanx for the update. Im sure others will like hearing this info!!!!

Glad you got your cards!!
[HD2 General] antonmandara:
Too bad I'm not in the USA..........:)
[HD2 General] prudviraj:
sorry double post
[HD2 General] prudviraj:
That is why i gave an email id so if you have a US address and already have an order number, go ahead and shoot an email.. evthn should be taken care of..
[HD2 General] dealkk:
i purchase used phone so no order # and wonder if i can get replacement
[HD2 General] kgvico:
No order number.

Er.... what if I did not mark down my order number??

......He told me it was not necessary, so I ..........damn

Any advice?
[HD2 General] camoko:
Here is some advice: Next time, write down your order number...

You could just call and ask?
[HD2 General] michaelmab88:
i did this and recieved a card in the mail today.. but it was a class 2 card. I was told they would ship a class 4 to me and i would have to send them my class 2 card back. Waste of time! Plus now i have to ship back the stupid card or they will charge me 80 bucks!
[HD2 General] cellycell619:
Called HTC to replace 4 of my HD2 sd cards, I had to leave a credit card (was charged $1.00 per card on my cc to confirm cc was legit) I will not be charged IF I return the "defective" cards within 30 days of receiving the new ones. I will need to return them certified mail or use any service that can generate a tracking number. If I don't return the used cards within 30 days I will be charged $85.00 per card. Not to bad if you ask me, I will send the old ones via UPS as soon as I get the new ones.
