more memory card corruption!!!!

so since there are alot of new roms out there, are there still memory card corruption issues? I am about to take the step. I basically like my stock rom except the damn memory card has been messing up every 2 weeks or less. How close is the merged wm6 and the 6.1 rom to the stock sprint rom? and one more question...will i still lose my msl code on these new roms?

yep i just got corruption and this time it's bad. The card is totally unusable so I have to buy a new card. SO will see when my card gets here.

I have WM 6.1.

I'm not sure what's causing the problem, I haven't had any corruption at all, even with the stock ROM.

I know one thing that was rumored to cause it was having emails stored on the memory card instead of the internal memory.

maybe i will try switching the email back to the internal memory

I have email stored in internal memory and still having this issue.

so it doesnt matter if you have wm6 or wm6.1, and it doesnt matter where the emails get stored to. And it doesnt matter what size card you have. this part is getting tiresome. I use my music almost everyday at the gym and i hate when i show up at the gym and i can use my card. I wonder if sprint has a fix in the works.

Well, it seems the new model of Touch, the Diamond, will have 4 gigs of internal storage. There's no mention of a card slot. So HTC's fix appears to be hard wiring memory in, thus avoiding the extremely delicate little fingers that contact the gold plated terminals of your memory card and have to pass tons of precise data to and from storage. Faulty terminal contact may not be the only cause of trouble, but several experiences with corruption in my own Touch have led me to believe it's a major culprit.

based on my own experience, the only time that I my memory card gets corrupted is if I leave the music player running in the background and soft reset my phone with it open. After the first couple of times it happened, I know make sure to close out of the audio program after using it and I havn't had a problem since. Good luck.

I wonder if the type of card matters, if there's certain brands that work and some that don't.

I think mine was a Kingston 4gb SDHC card from Best Buy.
