Hello,
I lended mine SD card to friend. And inserted he's SD card in my phone. Now he gave me back my SD card. But all my apps are missing. Music/Video is working. But all apps are gone. No one deleted them, where did they gone ? What should i do now?
Strange thing. I inserted friends sd card, and all my apps was there and fully working. WTF ? He even did not have those apps . My apps somehow transfered to he's SD card.
What should i do now ?
if all your apps are on his sd card, plug it into ur computer, and transfer all the apps into a folder. the get your sd card and transfer all the apps onto it
cheers
I didnt moved anything from that card to friends card. How did SD card content transfer to a phone, if sd card never were inserted in that phone?
Situation:
I have my phone with inserted SD card in it. Friend asked for my sdcard(he needed more space, mine was 32gb) So i gave him. He gave me he's 4gb sd card. I inserted friends card in my phone. And all apps that was on mine sdcard appeared in phone. All apps that was on my sdcard, transfered to friends card from phone memmory ?
Now when he gave back my SDcard, i inserted it to my phone, and all apps that was on that card was gone. Apps are shown in Settings>Applications with SDcard pictogram. All aplications in list also has Size: 0.00, And when i push on any that somehow it shows "Move TO Sd card" function. But all theese apps were on sd card, watahell is going on ?
You could try to move apps to phone memory while using his SD, then move them back to your SD.
It's strange, anyway.
You did not change ROM or whatever on your phone in the meanwhile, did you?
One more thing i just noticed. I inserted friends card , all my applications that were on SDcard was displayed and working, it was like that mine card was inserted. But strange thing , i did unmount with friends card. And still all apps was fully working, they somehow transfered to phone memmory or what? I have HTC Desire, i think there's no enough space for all theese apps on phone memmory.
With friends card all apps are displayed, and in Settings>Applications when i choose application it shows "Move it TO SDcard" , so they are on phone, but with my SDCArd they are not even shown.
No i didnt change anything, except transfered few videos from to friends card via usb.
When i installing application that was already on my sdcard,(but now not showing up),
it says " This application will replace existing application" or something similar.
Inserted friends sd card all my applications were there, so i went to Settings>Applications, clicked on my one application and it shows option : "Move to SDcard" I clicked that. After that I inserted my Sdcard, and that application appeared on my phone, so it didnt moved it to friends sdcard. And when i go to Settings>Applications it shows Move To Sdcard . So it turns out, that phone didnt moved application anywhere when friends sdcard was inserted, but it made that application to appear on phone with my sdcard.
What the hell ? Its so strange and absolute nonsense.
P.S I cant do more Move To SDcard on friends sdcard, because it says No Space.

S.O.S someone!

Apps are not showing up,but i can open them by File Manager. for example :
In file manager i click on video and it opens it with Rockplayer which is on SDcard, but rockplayer isnt shown in applications menu

Hi All - I've got an unlocked 750 using it on T-Mobile. It's been working great up until a few weeks ago. It stopped downloading email. If I take out the SD card, the email downloads. Put the SD card back and once again email doesn't download. In fact, I can't even open the program with the SD card in place. The phone locks up. I've done multiple soft resets with the card in place and out.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Check out for SD card slot or SD card.
It is 5% chance to have that problem because of this but....
2 weeks no single SD card worked on my Palm.
every time phone notice me by some beep or sound but it simply does not recognize SD card.
I was planing to sell it for "couple of $" as damaged but i said to my self
"why not use it, it has plenty of internal memory about 50 mb. only i must to say BYE to mp3 or videos"
and once again i push SD card that didnt work and suddenly STORAGE CARD appears in File Explorer. I was happy
Now i try not to do open/close so much...
Viva la buggy Palm
Hi to all
Im having a small problem on my HD2 upon first time boot up from being flashed to CMYLXGO's Stock Desire HD(2).
On the task bar its showing a SD card with a question mark and when i slide the task bar down it says "Damaged SD Card" and that i need to format it, I tried formating it from the phone it self but no luck
Have you tried another SD card yet? Is this your first ROM? Have you put that SD card in another phone, or if not available, an SD card reader? That could help give you some indication as to the state of the card, although I wouldn't rely on that alone to test.
I have toyed around with multiple ROMs on my HD2 and never had an SD card problem, although in the past I have had a card die when doing some modification on my G1. Also, if you are still using the 16gb card that's packaged with the TMOUS HD2, it may be a decent idea to consider replacing it anyway. It's only a class 2 card, and while that may suffice for many operations, it really suffers when you're trying to use an app like QQPlayer to apply software decoding to video.
Okay I found a solution to the problem, I tried using the SD card reader, and it was recognized on the computer, I could read and write from and to the SD card, and this is my fourth to fifth ROM I have tested on the HD2, I been trying to find the best ROM there is for it , and well I just grabbed another SD card that was lying around and.. boom it works im such a noob haha, I didnt think about it until you suggested it, but its still a class 2 SD card. Many thanks
I just had this similar problem with my 16 GB Class 2 microsd Card. Started happening once I created SWAP and EXT2... or 3... (can't remember) on the card for use in Android App2SD. What I did is I formated it in Windows and made sure Allocation size was set to default. Seems to have fixed my issue
Thanks, I fixed the issue now the way you said
The firs step is to download SD Formatter and save the file on your desktop.
Once done, eject MicroSD card from your Android phone and use a MMC card reader to connect it to the computer. You SD card will now be mounted as a flash drive.
Now make a backup of your SD card before proceeding further. You can either copy all folders and file on your SD card and move them to a hard disk folder or use some 3rd party application.
Now launch SD Formatter and click on “Options”.
In options, set Format Type Full (Erase On) and keep Format Size Adjustment OFF. Now press OK to proceed.
After this click on Format and let the application do the rest for you. Please note that Memory Cards with higher capacity will take more time and vice versa. Do not remove your SD card while formatting is taking place because this can permanently damage it.
Once the formatting is complete and you get the success notification, remove SD from MMC reader.
Now insert the card in your phone’s MicroSD slot and wait for damaged SD Card notification in the notification bar again.
Once it is there, simply tap on notification and press format.
Now wait for a minute or two, launch Settings > SD and Phone Storage > and you will be able to see your memory card’s details.
There you have it! You won’t have damaged SD card notification any more and your Memory Card will behave as it should.

I had some problem with the card reader and i accidently removed the card!! Is there any way i could get the card working?
I am switching to a new phone as my old one no longer seems to recognise my SD card. The SD card itself appears to be fine, as it functions perfectly well in my other phone and on my PC.
When using the SD card with my old phone, I transferred a lot of apps (as many as I could) to the SD card, so I guess that data is still there physically on the SD card. They do not, however, show up as apps when the SD card is inserted into my new phone.
So, what I want to know is, if I reinstall the apps on my new phone from Google Play and transfer them to the SD card again (to save internal memory space), will they overwrite the ones already on the SD card, or will the presence of those apps be duplicated on my SD card (i.e. one newly installed functional app, and one older version that is no longer accessible on the new phone)?
If the latter, can I delete the old app files directly from my SD card to make way for the new ones, or will this cause issues?
Finally, is this all just asking for trouble, and should I just backup anything I need to and format the card before using it in the new phone?
Many thanks!

(for your reference, I am transferring a 64gb micro SD card from an LG G3 to a Moto G5).
Hello:
I don't understand why My phone does not recognize my Micro SD Card. It has been like that since I bought it four years ago. It didn't work with the SD Card that came with the phone, and even when I bought another one it still didn't work. On the contrary, the card is recognizable by my computer, and when I inserted it in to the phone, using a card reader, it was recognized. But when I put it back in to the SD slot on top of the first SIM slot, it doesn't get recognized.
Please what can be done about this problem. My phone storage is already full. It is just 8GB.
Thanks for your anticipated help.
Can you find the menu item of 'Format' in your 'Settings - Storage - SD card'?

Hello:
I've gone through the article you referred me to. The SD card is recognizable on the computer as I did inform you in that post, so I tried reformatting the card.
But when I visited the link on formatting the SD card, I got this message: You don't have permission to access /EN/Fat32Formatter/ on this server.
So, what else can I do.
How can I find the the menu item of formatting my storage settings of Micro SD card.
Try this
SD Memory Card Formatter for Windows/Mac | SD Association
www.sdcard.org
Hello again:
I've formatted my micro SD card with the link you gave me, but the card is still unrecognizable or undetected by the phone. I remember I did the formatting about a year ago.
I am convinced that the problem is a hard ware one, considering the fact that the card can be detected by another phone and the computer. It was detected on my phone when I inserted it in to a card reader and plugged it in to my phone with the OTG cable. But when I put it back in to the SD card slot, it was not detected.
So, the question now is: what can I do now? how can I increase the storage of my phone. My phone internal storage is now full, and I cannot delete any apps.
What other methods can I try out. Or is there a way of fixing the micro SD slot?
The phone came that way. I didn't care to check the SD card slot before the warranty expired.

have you tried going on your Phone setting and searching for the word "SD"
that would show SD card size and option to format it and such
or perhaps have you tried insert other SD card or SD card socket itself has issue?
Inspect the SD bay contacts. Clean card contacts with isopropyl alcohol/cloth and don't touch them with your fingers.
Make sure it's properly seating in the phone.
Try a hard reboot the phone with the card in it.
Try another card.
Whatever app the device uses for storage control check there to see your options.
In the 10+ it's under Device Care>storage>SD card page 3 dots upper right corner.
If it gives you the option to format it, do so. You will lose any data on the card but it should functional then.
It's best to format the card in the device first before using it.
Hi!
I have Motorola G7 power xt-1955-4.
And I also got a 512gb Kingston hama sdcard.
The card was formatted as internal storage.
The problem is that today I saw that I can't access the files on my phone. This happened after I moved several files from phone to my computer, to free up some space.
Now, when I open File manager it shows "main storage not available".
I reinserted my SD card a couple of times, but I keep having a notification saying "checking sdcard... Reviewing current content".
When I go to Settings - Storage it says only "sdcard checking..".
When I press on "Checking sd card" notification only it gives me the option to Forget.
How can I access my SD card without formatting it?
Thank you.
You said you moved some files from the card to your PC? How did you do this? If you removed the card from the phone and put it in your PC, then what you effectively did was slice off part of your phone's storage, messed with the files, and put it back in. You cut off a piece of brain, rooted around in it, and tried to reattach it.
Internal storage means the card is not removable, and the storage space will be filled with files essential to the phone. Chances are to get the card to work again it needs to be reformatted.

Sorry I'm a bit late. I had this same issue recently. Until now, I have had a problem with any program recognizing the drive without offering to format it first. I can't do that because I am stupid and had important files on there I need. I just located DiskGenius and I am running it now.
Not sure this will repair the issue, but it recognized the sd card which I had set as the primary storage not knowing something like this could happen. It is running a search now for bad sectors. When it finds them, it will provide a repair, but the sectors will be deleted. I am hoping it won't be the sectors that contain my files that I need to recover. But it's a step in the right direction.
I now know not to set an sd card as main storage for Android, because it encrypts the files, and it tied the SD card to the system. I can't even install apps right now because the main storage is non existent.
I just had to throw out a 62g card due to corruption. I do t know how it happened but I eventually had to factory reset/wipe phone. I put the card in a laptop to reformat it. Wouldn't work. I'm getting a new card, but I will not make it phone storage. Bummed me out.
