Guest Shadow75 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hello all, I hope someone can help me. I have just bought a new SanDisk, 16GB, Micro SDHC. The problem is that my HTC Desire is not recognizing it all. It works okay with my other two phones which are a LG KF757 Secret, and LG KP500. They are both reading and accepting the card without any problems. I have connected both phones to computer via usb connection and they work fine. But my HTC Desire is not recognizing it. B) This is what I did: 1. Formatted the SD Card to Fat32, I did this using my LG KP500 phone as it was the only way to access it. 2. Put the SD card in my HTC Desire, powered the phone back on and waited up to ten minutes with nothing happening. 3. Put the SD card back in LG KP500 phone, put my new Zip ROM onto the SD card. 4. Put card back into HTC Desire, then opened up the "Recovery" and flashed the new ROM. 5. I have flashed ROM's for over a year now and have never experienced any problems until now! 6. Still waiting over ten mins and its in a loop. On the screen in showing the "HTC Logo" and underneath it "Quietly brilliant". This screen is looping constantly. I have reflashed it over ten times. Deleted the ROM and replaced it thinking it may be faulty, so tried it in my 8GB SD card which works great. So I know the ROM works okay. I have tried different ROM's from various different people including from Paul at Modaco, which still does not work. I have no clue why this is happening. I have a SanDisk, 8GB, Micro SDHC which works perfectly in my HTC Desire. I got a bigger SD card for more storage. I have researched online over the last week, reading lots of different forums all over the net, not just in here and I cannot find a solution. I have contacted SanDisk techical support and they said they are looking it to it for me asking me lots questions of why it may not be working. I was just hoping that someone may have an answer of how I can get around this problem so I can start using my new 16GB SD card in my HTC Desire. Many thanks in advance for any helpful answers and patience :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks in advance for any helpful answers and patience :D Provided it's a genuine Sandisk card (I had issues with a couple of fake 32GB Sandisk cards a while back, no doubt there exist fake 16GB ones too), then the only thing I can think of is do you use a ROM with A2SD? If so you'll need to set up the partitions correctly on your new card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so you'll need to set up the partitions correctly on your new card. Thanks for your reply. I have tried all that and nothing. And yes its a genuine SanDisk card. I have been in contact with SanDisk and they say that 16GB cards are not compatible with HTC Desire phones. I have also been talking with HTC and they told me the same. HTC said that they have tested all SD card with HTC Devices and the Desire can only accept up to 8GB no more. They recommended SanDisk and Kingston as the best SD cards out there. I have no idea if anyone out there has a solution as other HTC Devices accept up to 32GB but not the Desire for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a Kingston Class 10 16gb SD card in my Desire and it works just fine. I never experienced any problems with it.

I'm using a (Sandisk Class 2) 32GB in my HTC Desire with no problems at all. You didn't mention if you are using a ROM with A2SD?

You didn't mention if you are using a ROM with A2SD? Hope its ok to link to xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730285 this tool lets you check the SD card to see if its fake. I had a very good looking fake odelivered from an eBay trader. Turned out to be fake, refunded. I've used varius 16 and 32 gb cards in my desire.

Guest loopism Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I've got a 4GB card which works fine in my Omnia, yet my Desire as well as my PC can't read it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bpivk Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I've got a 4GB card which works fine in my Omnia, yet my Desire as well as my PC can't read it! Try and format it through Omnia and see if it helps. I had a similar problem once and it was because the card was "oddly" (I don't have the proper word to describe that mess :) ) formated.

Thanks - I ended up formatting it about three times in my PC and on the Omnia before the Desire would recognise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ommadawn Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Thanks - I ended up formatting it about three times in my PC and on the Omnia before the Desire would recognise it. I'm having similar issues with a Sandisk class 4 32GB card I just purchased. It was a reputable and local dealer I bought it from, and I have run it through a great deal of testing and am sure it's a true 32GB card, but when I put it into the Desire and try to boot, it sits on the boot animation until I pull the battery (I've waited up to 10 minutes with no luck). I AM running a custom Froyo on a rooted device with A2SD so that might complicate matters, but I admit I did that ages ago and still consider myself an android noob when it comes to the nuts and bolts. Strangely, if I boot into recovery I can mount the card and access it fully from there so I don't know what's going on. I never had a problem with my original 8GB sandisk card. I'll try a few more formats though, and see how that goes I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ommadawn Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I found my problem, and the card is working perfectly now. It was a silly error on my part but I'll post it here as well to help in case someone else has done the same. My ext3 partition was created as a logical partition, not a primary. If using one of these partitions, this is important!! :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
