Who has NOT had memory card issues with the Touch? - Page 5

No issues here but backed up card just in case. I am using a Transcend 6gb SDHC card that I was using on my Mogul without issues. I have nothing running from card except games, GPS and Laridian software. I had the same issues people are reporting in my titan with SDHC card when the first drivers came out with SDHC support. S2U2 was an issue with those as well as having anything open from SD card when the device when to sleep.

Update: been fine for over a week since running everything from phone memory, and then the card went poop twice in one day. Both times I had used the camera (which was saving to SD) and the photo album (which also accesses the card).

I have found a reliable solution to the problem though: simply don't use a card. Huh!

i find it interesting that S2U2 might be the problem, since it shouldnt play with the sd card at all. Assuming I uninstall S2U2, is there another fullscreen caller id app that anyone recommends?

So it sounds like a subsequent version of the SDHC driver corrected the problem?

Do you have a link to the working version?

I have never installed anything to the SD card, I dont know how you guys get up to 256MB of apps on your phones!! Actually I usually install Weatherpanel Icons to the SD card but thats it. I only use my sd card to store cab files and documents and I sync up to Windows Media player on the SD card. Play music all the time, no problems. Just gave away my ipod!!! Gotta love Microsoft.

For example, I had been using Newsbreak set to store RSS channel data on the card with auto-updating on every 5 hours. With this set-up I'd been getting SD card corruption a couple times a day.

I stopped using Newsbreak and turned off auto-updating and the problem hasn't (cross-fingers) happened since.

I don't blame Newsbreak for causing the corruption, but it seems that anything that does a lot of writing of many small files (or perhaps writing to the card while the device is suspended?) might trigger a problem inherent in the phone's SD driver or cache. Just having apps installed to the card might not be enough to trigger anything.

OK - it's been 4 days and not a single problem with SD corruption. My card is a 1GB, standard SD card (not SDHC). I do use S2U2. It seems pretty clear that the problem (at least as I've experienced it on my Touch) is related to the file system cache getting corrupted during reading or writing a large number of small files, possible while the device is suspended. A corrupt file system cache would be cleared and reset by a soft reset - which would explain why the card "comes back" after a reset.

I don't know how to fix this, but perhaps an updated SD card driver - would this have any effect on the file system cache, though?

OK no promises, but I THINK I have fixed my SD Corruption problem. Seems that I had my theme on the SD card, and I moved it and have not had anymore issues so far (only 1.5 days

)

I've had mine for 5 days now and no problems (knock on wood).
Manufacture date 10/28, SanDisk 6GB card. No S2U, I constantly add/delete files from the card (card reader and file explorer), and I listen to music off the card daily. I don't have any programs or themes running on the card, and I am using HTC Home Customizer.

The only problem that I've had is that when I was using File Explorer to view the storage card, it showed up with garbled file names...soft reset and everything was fine. That has only happened once so far.

Just had my Folders disappear on my Card. All thats left is my music folder. I know they are there because the bytes in use shows that there is something their.

Edit - and there is also a WMDRM folder that keeps coming back.
