SD card corrupt?

I had a similar issue about a month after I got my Touch. I came looking here and didn't find any solutions but saw many people complaining of the same problem. I had roughly 2GB woth of files on a 8GB microSD and one day it just stopped being able to read the 2GB worth of files. It still showed that I only had 6GB available but nothing I did would get me access to the files. The card just looked blank. I finally just popped it out, reformatted FAT32 on my PC and haven't had an issue since but I now backup the card on a regualr basis. I do wonder if I had formatted it before using it instead of just popping it in stock if that would have stopped the first failure but I'll never know.

Just thought I'd post a follow up to this thread...

I've have the Verizon XV6900 since early Aug '08 and kept experiencing the random SD card corruption. The fixes and suggestions here never really fixed the problem for me, only extended the time between failure.

Verizon has a update available for the Verizon XV6900 that brings the phone up to Mobile 6.1. According to the tech at the Verizon store the SD-card fix is part of the update package. I've been running it since early January 3rd and I haven't had a single SD card problem since. (fingers crossed)

Yup, It should be a thing of the past. I and others with Sprint Vogues had the issue with the stock WM6 ROM. The 6.1 update fixed the issue. There is a registry tweak that will help too. It deals with the camera album, which if left open will cause the error.
