Just survived a scare, the SD Card in my phone became unrecognized and I was worried that I lost all my camera photos. So my phone died when I was at work so the phone shutdown. When I got in my car I left it on the car charger for just a little while and then tried to turn it on. Apparently I didn’t wait long enough because just as the Android OS booted up the phone died again. Side note, a car charger doesn’t charge a phone faster than it can drain it with the screen and all the antennas on. Later when I got home and charged my phone long enough the SD Card came up and unrecognizable and Android asked if I wanted to format it.<\/p>\n
After a few searches and several unsuccessful suggestions I remembered that I have a program, MiniTool Partition Wizard, that might do the trick. \u00a0It has an option to scan and repair a partition. \u00a0So I ran the scan with detect and repair option selected and it discovered that it was formatted for FAT32 and that the “\/” link was bad. \u00a0It did some repairs and the presto my SD card was recognizable by Windows 7. \u00a0I plugged it back into my phone and life is good again. \u00a0I think I’m going to make sure a backup is done tonight…<\/p>\n Dilbert\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
