Hi yesterday I got my new SD card for the v20 a 256gig Samsung drive. But whatever I try my phone just won't recognize it's existence in the slot. I put that very card in a G3 a honor 7x and a G6 and my Windows PC working flawlessly Everytime. Also any other SD card before works perfectly and instantly on my phone. Also with a OTG hub the SD card is recognized perfectly. But in it's slot it won't do a thing.
I tried adding a slim piece of plastic above or below the card for pressure tried cleaning and bending the pins in the slot slightly back up with no change at all. And the old 128gig card still working perfectly.
I also formatted it in FAT32 exFAT and even NTSF not changing anything.
Any recommendations would be very appreciated.
It's a v20 H990ds on Oreo btw.
Also I am sorry if this is the wrong section or site for that.

I'm in a bit of a pickle. I'm on rooted stock 4.4.4 and recently got a wild hair to go to lollipop. I have an 8 gig Patriot SD card. Not enough room to pull off a Nandroid, etc. I have a brand new 16 gig SanDisk laying around and a brand new 32 gig Samsung EVO card that I just got in. Neither will mount properly, or reliably. Android claims it's blank and will not mount/format it. I have to slide it in and out (don't get cute with that...) until the phone mounts it and then it's in a partial read/write state. However, if I put the old 8 gig card in, all is well. I do not have SD card encryption enabled. I have tried the SD Fix applications, they find nothing wrong. If I put the card into a laptop, everything is perfectly fine.
So I'm to the point where I may have to completely ODIN my phone just to see if it's a ROM problem. I cannot back-up because of the card issue. :crying:
Any bright ideas?
thank you much
I wound up giving up and doing an ODIN to lollipop, forfeiting my root. All the SD cards work fine...
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've had my phone/SD card combo running fine for 4 months. (Moto X Play + 64GB Sandisk SD card) This week, my podcast app started displaying download errors; I soon discovered that the SD card was no longer being detected.
(The Moto is running Marshmallow 6.0.1; the card is a SanDisk Ultra 64GB UHS-I/Class 10 Card SDSQUNB-064G-GN3MN)
The card had been adopted as internal storage.
I performed a factory reset on the phone. No help.
I mounted the card on my PC; it detected errors. Chkdsk said "Corruption was found while examining the volume bitmap".
After correcting the errors, my PC could read the card just fine; folders and photos appeared fine.
But still, my phone couldn't detect my card. Time for some isolation testing:
Insert a different card into my phone: success. The phone detected the card.
Insert my card into a different Android phone: success. The phone detected the card.
What's my next step? Thanks!

Format your card using phone if it detects.

It doesn't detect the card at all. That's the problem.

I have the same problem. SD card would "vanish" then sometimes "come back" if I physically ejected & re-inserted it a few times, but eventually it stopped altogether. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue. I haven't found a solution and it's super-annoying.
BTW is your GPS ok? I also started getting reboots on my phone when the SD card started acting weird, and eventually I traced it to my location services being in high accuracy mode - no problem when I'm in battery saving mode. I'm on a different ROM than you but I'm just curious whether there might be a connection...
our device has VERY sensitive SD metal pins.I hope you haven't break these...

Not sure if I broke a pin, but something is damaged in there And since my phone isn't under warranty it's gonna cost a lot to get it fixed. Not sure it's worth it...
My moto x play XT1562 is not detecting Sim 2 and Memory Card it only detects the Sim 1.What's the problem. Could anyone help me to get out of this problem.
Hi,
My Sandisk Ultra 32GB microsd card is not getting mounted on my Moto X Play from yesterday on. It was working perfectly before that.
Problem in Detail: Yesterday when i tried to play some music only I realized that its not getting mounted. I tried removing the card and reinserting it. But it's not showing up any notification. When I went to 'Storage and USB' settings suddenly after reboot, its showing 'Unsupported' for a minute and is getting unmounted automatically.
Possible Cause: One of my friend connected my phone with USB cable to his laptop day before yesterday for transferring data. I dunno exactly whether its infected or he didn't eject it properly.
What all I Tried: Initially, I tried connecting it to my laptop using Card Reader. Fortunately, everything was fine inside the system. The file system FAT32, all the data it had, and no memory was unallocated. Afterwards I did a quick format and a complete format as well, with file system FAT32. Both didn't help anyway. Then I installed mini tool partition wizard. But haven't done anything with that yet.
Kindly help me with this ASAP.
Can you use your SD card with the phone ?I have the same problem - my sd card is not recognized by my MXP. There was some speculation that the SD card slot is not working properly or just damaged however all SD cards I have are working fine just nor with my phone.As of today there seems to be no fix to this bug.

I have tried this SD card in my friend's phone and it is working fine.
Afterwards, tried formatting the card from that phone, my laptop, (quick & complete with different names) and the tool "sd card formatter" (erased everytihng).
I even tried a factory reset of my phone.
Nothing helps. Really frustrated
try the slow format sd card option from pc...
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 ?
