Here is a copy of my entry in the Hero forum on this issue:-


I have made some progress on this issue.

I needed to factory reset my phone (to fix a broken wifi) and so made list of all my fav apps. Then reinstalled them.

As soon as I started installing the text-to-speech engines (google extended and also the pico extra voices) the SD card would fail or become faulty very soon.

So I carried out another factory reset and did not install any of the text-to-speech apps.

The phone has since been stable for quite a few days with only about three occasions when the SD card was no longer recognised. One while installing a collings french-english dictionary, the second while installing a number of books and the third while uploading a few MB of podcasts into Carcast.

Each of these occasions required a significant amount of SD card access.


So either there is something deeply wrong with some Android card access code or a hardware fault.
But I note that this issue is reported in the Desire forum as well. I assume the desire has completely different hardware from the Hero.

What to do next? I will wait for the 3UK 2.1 update and then take stock.
