Let me preface this by saying that I recently went a few weeks without using my tablet at all- it hasn't moved from my desk. Everything worked fine before, but I came back to it yesterday and I discovered that the system could no longer read the card. It is a 32 GB Polaroid Class 10 SDHC. When I insert the card, it was showing up in the the notification area, but reporting 0.00B of space, and if I pressed 'unmount' it did nothing, and when I use a file browser, the card doesn't show up at all. This has since progressed to the point where when I insert the card, the 'External storage inserted' notification pops up for half a second, then disappears, and the card doesn't show up at all. I don't have an SD adapter, so I have to wait until tomorrow to test the card in a buddy's phone and see if it can be read at all. Has anyone else had this problem, or know what the cause is?

Hey all.
FIrst off I dont recommend this phone. haha, that being said...
I just bought a 16gb microsd card for it. I was able to install it and transfer a bunch of tunes over. Then when I disconnected it from the computer, it has a little sd card icon with a sprocket at the top left of the screen and says "checking for errors". As a result, I dont have access to the info on the sd card > music contacts photos etc.
Its been 12 hours or so and this status has not changed.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue? Has it "farted" or do I just have to wait...
Thanks.
Have you tryed turning the device off taking the battery and SD card out then putting it all back and turning it back on, had issues with my phone not recognizing my SD before and it worked for me, just give it a try and see.

Thanks, but tried that many times...
I did try removing the battery and card multiple times to no avail.
I even sacrificed my programs etc through a hard reset. As soon as the reset completed, I have the same notification about the sd card.
Some details...
When I first inserted the 16gb SDHC card, the phone acknowledge its presence and I formated the card in the phone. It said there was over 15gb available... all fine...
I then was able to que it up with my pc through the USB cable and transfer about 8 gbs of music to the phone... transfer when fine.
Upon removing the phonne, it started with this "preparing sd card, Checking for errors" nonsense.
I am firmly convinced that there ACTUALLY is no SDHC support on these Acer Liquid E phones. My old 2 gb card that came with the phone works just fine and is back in the phone now. My only other option is to buy a 4 gb card and see if that will word fine, as 4 gb is not considered SDHC. then step up again to a 8 gb card (SDHC) and see what happens.
Does anyone else have a SDHC card in there Acer Liquid E? Does it work?
There is also NO help from Fido or Acer to work through issues...
Really makes me want to go back to the iPhone........ grrrrrrrrr....
Make sure that you formatted it to FAT32 first of all and does the card still connect to the computer using a card reader ? Why don't you try formatting it on your liquid by going onto storage and then unmounting it then format.

Thanks... no go though. At wits end...
Thanks for your attention!
When formatting in the phone, it doesnt allow you the choice to format specifically in FAT32 or other. I can only assume it is formatting in the proper system.
As for mounting and unmounting (what I feel this phone has been literally doing to me for the 6 months i've had it.lol)... as the sd card was stuck in this "checking for errors" sequence I had no access to mount or unmount the card or reformat again. These options were simply greyed out and not accessable.
I have not placed it into a card reader to reformat through my PC. I will try this step next and see what happens. I will have to find a card reader, or perhaps plug it into my camera as the card came with an sd adapter... see if that route will work.
Regardless. extremely user non-friendly phone here in the Acer Liquid E.
I've had this Samsung Captivate since December and just noticed this issue with my SD card. It's a 16gb card that's been in it since I purchased the phone. Recently I looked at my gallery and found that one folder that used to have ~400 pic now has over 4000 pics. Most of these are duplicates. When I connect to the PC and view the folders there are the original 400 or so. No duplicates.
Today I unmounted the card, removed it and remounted it again. Now, in the notification screen it shows "Media scanning... 0 %" for an exceptionally long time trying to scan the media on it. For about 20 minutes. This happened earlier today but eventually came up after I shut the phone off. This time I powered it down and it did the same thing. Just sat there scanning. Then it came up with a red SD card icon stating that the card was full. I am now in the process of transferring everything I can onto my laptop. I guess it wouldn't hurt to reformat the card after that and see if it continues to happen.
After reformatting it, it still did the same thing. Luckily I had an extra 16gb card available. I installed it and transferred all the needed files. It works fine, for now. Don't know why this happened, except possibly that the SD card wore out (?).
Anyone else have a similar situation with either the captivate or SD cards in general?
I have a 32GB Ultra Class 10 SD Card from Sandisk installed in my SGS4 since the day I first bought and since then I had no issue with it until I last updated to Firmware v4.3(I9500XXUEMJ9). I have been receiving notification like, "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed" almost every time the phone wake up from sleep mode and then auto re-mount without any reason. To be clear, the SD Card works fine when used with my laptop or desktop. I dont know for sure as to what the reason is and I hope someone can share some light about my problem here.
The phone suddenly no longer reads SD card, nor the internal memory. Settings> Storage displays all of the memory as Unavailable.
It all started yesterday when I took out the SD card. When I returned the card and switched the phone on, the problem started.
Computer and tablet normally read the card, so the SD is not faulty. I tried to insert another SD card in my phone, I doesn't read it as well although that SD card is also working normally in my tablet.
So, the main issue is that all of the memory from the device is not readable.
Is there some kind of general memory chip or smthng that can just collapse?
Computer does not recognize the phone, the phone notifies that the mass storage is connected but the computer shows nothing.
Have you restart your phone? Restarting the phone might solve your problem.
Always remember to unmount SD card from phone setting/storage.
I restarted it few times since yesterday to see if the card is properly inserted, I also regularly unmounted before taking it out.
So I unmounted, but the problem is that it doesn't want to mount now when it's back inside.
I also wrote that it's not just SD card, the phone doesn't show the internal memory as well.
Can anyone tell me if there is maybe some general memory chip that's dead or could it be something else?
I think you should take your phone to service center in your area. I''ve never heard problem like this before.
Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right place to post this question. I'm not sure where else to ask and I haven't found a solution online.
I bought 2 Fire 10 tablets the 2021 model, as well as 2 Silicon Power 128GB Micro SD cards (https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Superior-MicroSD-Adapter/dp/B091B2MX9S/).
The problem I'm having is that (almost) every time I turn on my tablet, I get the error in the screenshot: SD Card Alert/Storage device missing Insert device again.
This happens on both tablets. The thing is, once I get past the lock screen, the message goes away, and I can access all the data stored on it. I've got my card formatted as android storage, so I could moves app's 2 SD.
One thing to note, for the Apps stored on the SD, I have noticed that once I get past the lock screen, for just a few seconds the apps are grayed out. Then they light up like normal and are usable again. It's like every time the tablet goes to sleep, it disconnects the SD card, then reassociates it after it comes out of sleep.
Anyone seen this or have any ideas on how to fix it? I really don't think it's the micro sd cards as I've bought several of those exact cards in the past and this is happening on 2 different tablets with 2 cards.
