Blank SD card / Cannot format.

[Guest kyuuketsuki]

I recently purchased a 16GB Play.com SD card, but so far i've not been able to get it to function correctly.

First time it gave me the blank sd card message, so of course i tried formatting it from the phone, (2.2 & Cyanogenmod. ) but absolutely nothing happened the phone just returned to settings menu; so i gave up trying to format it from the phone and formatted it through a micro - sd adapter. This didn't work the first time but after another try the phone recognized the card but when i connected it to my computer and attempted to copy things over the computer gave me errors and when i disconnected it; the card would no longer work. (damaged sd card warning) At this point i suspected the card to be faulty but i confirmed it working by using it on my laptop and desktop computer to transfer files across. What the hell is going on?

I just cannot get this card to work with my phone. Am i missing something? I've tried formatting as all sorts of formats but the phone refuses to recolonize after a reboot or after i've attempted to copy files over.. Any help would be very most welcome. Thanks.

It can take up to 32GB,

According to the official UK LG page for this handset,

As for the original post,

I have no idea myself =S.

I use an 8GB with no problems,

I personally can't help with this, but hopefully somebody else can.

Class 4, SDHC.

Class 4, SDHC.

If it is class 4 and formatted as FAT32 it should work.

Did you format it as FAT32? Maybe you left it on the default format as NTFS.
