First off, i'd like to apologize for not having the time to read this entire thread due to being at work, but i've been having similar issues with my card except that my phone, no matter WHAT i do, won't read my 8g card anymore... it was working PERFECTLY until my buddy shows up with a HiPhone... i dunno if any of you guys have seen this thing, but its a horrible iphone spin-off lol (just check ebay)...
So i put my sdhc card in it to see how well it plays vids/mp3/etc.... well, i couldn't even get to the card through the phone and when i put it back in my mogul, it doesn't read it, as if nothing was in the slot. My desktop can't locate it either.
So i'm guessin this Hiphone royally crashed/shut down my one-week-old $100 card! Is there ANYTHING i can do...

Thank for everything in advance

Try to put it into a Camera that reads SDHC cards and reformat it there. I had this same problem..

Another suggestion would be to contact the manufacturer and quickly gather up everything they need from you to issue you a replacement or repair.

hope that helps,

Just thought I'd share my story as well. I just recently purchased a touch from sprint and a week later I was getting problem with sprint tv not finding my account information then I noticed my pictures not showing up and when I checked I had no access to the SD card. I tried removing and reinserting about 20 different times even after connecting the card to my card reader on the pc which showed my files but the Touch wouldn't detect a card inserted. I did a hard reset back to factory and still no luck with the card showing up on the Touch figuring the touch SD port was bad I contacted Sprint customer service got a eticket for repair and the next day went to my local repair center to have it serviced. I told the rep everything I did and he said we'll just swap out with a new phone then. He set it up and made sure it made and recieved calls, tv worked and put my origonal SD card in. The rep then asks me if I wanted all the accessories from the replacement phone as they weren't going to do anything with them so twist my arm I took them. When I got out to my car I double checked the SD and it still wasn't showing up. I took the new card from the box and it worked just fine. I guess the card was bad but oh well I now have 2 of each accessory including the battery which they never give away when replacing a phone. When I got home I reformated the SD card and it works fine. So a quirk on the part of a corrupt SD card got me a replacement phone and now I have 2 of everything .... wooohoooo!!!!!

Ive had 0 SD card corruptions since updating to the Alltell ROM. Thanks Alltel!!

I have had this problem 3 times since the Alltel upgrade and its really getting annoying. Initially, it happened after I installed Google Maps. I couldn't access my pictures directly from the SD Card. I could view them through TCPMP but not directly. Then I did a hard reset. Everything was fine for a week. Then, stubborn as I am (and believing that Google Maps can't possibly be the culprit), I re-installed Google Maps... and again it happened! I did a hard reset and re-installed everything again.

Then I just installed Opera Mini 4 and Jbed. No problems noted. Then when I tried to view my pictures in the SD Card, again it says "There is no application associated with"___" (name of file). Run the application first, then open the file from within the application." I can plays my music and videos (through TCPMP). I can view the pictures through TCPMP but not directly by tapping on them.

Can anybody help me please? Any input/help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I tried checking again today but no success. No problem viewing videos and listening to music but I can't view my pictures directly.

Would anyone be able to help me?

Thanks a lot.

Lost my photos AGAIN! Thank God for ZAR (free photo recovery software). Almost pulled the trigger on a new memory card, but seems like it probably wouldn't fix the problem. Will the new rom fix it? We can only hope..

Has there been any fixes for this yet?

The new official ROM seems to have fixed it for me...about a month and no corruption!!! (So far!)

I can confirm that. Since the upgrade - no issues.

I had essentially stopped using the SD card for anything because of corruption (every couple of days). I upgrade the ROM and set email, WeatherPanel, etc. back to using the card - no issues at all.
