Hi Everyone
Any ideas why my Moto X Play would not even see my brand new MicroSD Card?
It's 128GB and so far I've tried it formatted as both EXFAT and FAT32 and no dice! It just doesn't even see the card.
Anyone have a guess at what gives?
**Edit**
So I've tried multiple sizes and brands of SD cards and none of them seem to be detected by android. Also tried resetting the device and no dice. Looks like my card reader may be borked.
** Edit 2**
I ended up having to return my device, as the card reader was pooched. The store simply did an over the counter exchange.
Can't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Maybe the card isn't mounted properly (in the wrong position) or as you said, you may have a faulty card reader on your phone.
I may be suffering the same issue. Have you been able to achieve anything regarding this?
I ended up having to return mine. The SD card reader was dead as I had suspected.
if you can format the sd card that means your phone see's the card and you can choose weather if you want to format as internal or external i like it internal but you have to get a faster card for sure and if you switching card from 16g to 32g....ect you have to forget the latter card then you can restore all your files. it worked for me.

I have a 2gb storage card that use to work before I bricked my phone. So, I sent it to Cingular for them to fix it and they did. But now I am trying to install back the files I had on my 2gb storage card and its not showing up on the phone. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
i would try another sdcard
try the sdcard in a sdcardreader
if both resulted in failure i would say that
they by fixing 1 thing broke another
I think they replaced the motherboard. I dont know if they gave me a defective one.
i am having the same problem...Ive had my storage card for quite a while now and had 1g of memory used up and now all of a sudden none of my music or photos that are on the card are being shown. It still detects my storage card and that the space is used but i cant find the files anywhere.

Removing and re-inserting the card as well as performing a soft reset can make vanished files re-appear. However it depends whether there is corruption on the card.
Does the card work using a card reader on the PC?
If it does and you have tried the above, then I would copy everything from the card to the PC, reformat the card and then put everything back again. If the PC does not see all the files either then you may, if it's worth it, try some software to recover files from the corrupted card. (This os often not 100% successful, but worth a try of there is something vital on there).

I have 3 8525's that are not detecting the 2G memory card when it is inserted. I have to perform a soft-reset in order for the device to recognize it. I now the cards are good because they work in my Axim.
I have 4 2G memory cards doing this which are Kingston & Sandisk. Two of the SanDisk cards are brand new.
Are there any known issues?
I have this problem as well. I'm not sure what the source is.
I cannot even get it to work with a soft reset though.
The card I have is a 1Gb Kingston, and it definitely works because I tested it on my computer.
I guess I'll Just call Cingular when I have a bigger problem at hand.
2gb sandisk card on 8525
I used to have this proem on a brand new card. I would put it in and nothing would happen. But insert in my PC, and it works. What I did was format it to fat32 (from the factory installed FAT) put it in the 8525 and it showed up. Just to test again, tried formatting back to FAT and didn't work again. back to FAT32 and no more probs. Hope it helps for you guys.
Today my x started saying the memory card was blank. It will not let me format it or anything. Anyone else have this happen yet?
I have gotten a not recognized mesage before. I took the battery out and pulled the sd card out then booted the phone. Then turn the phone back off and try re-inserting the card.
Do you have another sdcard reader that you can test it in?

I just got a Droid X used. It didn't come with a memory card. I tried the 4gb card out of my Incredible but it wasn't recognized. I tried an old 1gb card. Not recognized. I bought a new 8gb card from Sam's Club. Not recognized.
I did a search here and this post is the closest to what I am experiencing.
I tried to format the new 8gb card to FAT32 just to see what happens. No success.
I have rebooted the phone several times, removed and reinserted the card, and made sure it is seated properly.
The Settings>Storage screen states the following:
Total space - Unavailable
Available space - Unavailable
Mount SD card - Insert an SD card for mounting <grayed out>
Format SD card - Format (erase) SD card <grayed out>
Any suggestions?
If this is a software glitch and rooting is an option, I can do that. I am familiar with rooting from my Incredible. I am hesitant to root with this issue lingering.
Thanks.

have you tried cleaning the sdcard slot? just a thought. if that does not work then its possibly a defective slot.
We have a T-Mobile HTC HD2, it came with a 16GB MicroSD card.
Lately, the phone is having trouble reading this SD card, and ONLY this SD card.
Any other MicroSD card I plug into it, from other phones or other devices, it reads them fine, and if I plug it's card into other phones or devices, they read the card perfectly fine as well! I tried it in other phones, in usb microsd readers, and even using a sd adapter in my laptop's built in sd reader, digital cameras, Wii, and PS3. The PS3 was the only other device that could not read the card,
But when I plug the card it came with into it, now it mounts it and works fine for about 30 seconds, then unmounts it and acts as if there is no card inserted.
We have had this phone for a year now with no problems of it reading it's own card before, any idea why this suddenly started happening? The owner said he recently dropped it, but that doesn't explain such strange behavior as refusing to read it's own card while reading every other card just fine, and the card reads on any device I plug it into so it doesn't appear to be damaged either.
Have you thougbt about tryinv to reformat your SD card, maybe it has become currupt? You can use the default windoes format software or the Panosonic software, most prefer the Panosonic software. Just do a google search for it to find it. To use the defualt Windows format software just go to Start>My Computer> and find your SD card listed as a removable drive and rigbt click on it then select format. Make sure to make a back up of your data that is on it if you can before you format it, and do a full wipe not a fast format and use Fat 32.
I tried SD Card Formatter 3.0 but it didn't help, it also refused to do a full format, claiming my card didn't support it.

Hmmmmm that program should have worked, curiouse?
Here is a link to the download for the Panosonic SD card formating software. Give it a try and if it does not work hour SD card may have just played out on you. What for others here to post with more advice tough befor you just toss your card and get a new one as someone eles may know something I Don't. Also go to this post, I know you have not flashed WP7 to your HD2 but this may still help as it will wipe any acidental portition that was made somehow on your SD card. Plus itcjist helps hou cover all your bases.

Thats what I used.
Also, I know about partitioning a drive, the sdcard does not have multiple partitions on it.

Sorry about that I just googled " SD Card Formatter 3.0" and it carried me to another site.
As I said in my last post I just linked the post to make sure you were covering your bases.
If you tried the Panisomic software with no joy then it is very possible your SD card is ready for a funeral.
Bit don't just take my word for it let some more members post with their ideas. Sorry I could not be of any more help.
Hi all,
So my SD card recently kept unmounting itself from my phone, and I've been allowed to get a full refund as it's a known compatibility issue with SanDisk cards and S4.
The problem here is that I cannot format my card using most means (through PC, MAC, Phone, and DSLR). The card is currently using exFAT. It mounts to my system fine, I can see all files stored perfectly, although whenever I delete the files individually and remount my SD card, all the files appear again!!
Through PC, I have used Disk Management, EaseUS Partition Manager.
Through MAC, I've used Disk Utility, SD Card Formatter v3.
At the moment, i don't feel comfortable in sending it back, with personal data easily accessible.
Anyone have any other methods / ideas?
Thanks!
GUIFormat ?
Same issue here. if anyone finds a solution pm me or reply
Sandisk messed up and make faulty card. It seem this only happened to 64gb SDXC card. I already had mine replaced under warranty 1 time and then after a while it's acting up again. So I ditch that card and buy the other brand.

Anyone know what the phone's behavior will be when I insert an SD Card? Usually I would want to format the card with the phone if I'm going to keep it in there 100% of the time. But right now, I'll be removing it now and then.
Can I just plug it in, and the phone will recognize the directories that I already have on the card if the card was originally formatted in Windows? Obviously I can back up my SD Card first, format it on the phone, and move my stuff back to the card after.. Just wondering what the best way to go about this is. I haven't had a phone with an SD Card slot since my GSIII.
As long as the card is exFAT format it shouldn't be an issue. It will detect any media in it and display it accordingly (well should).
If the card is NTFS formatted, it won't work
if it a fat32 memory card you can cross-swap as much you want. You do not need to format on the phone... I never really did ...
I pulled my SD card out of the Note 7 and dropped it into the V20. No problems.
Cool. Thanks!
Will the card once inserted be encrypted or can it remain unencrypted in the v20 ?
