I've got a very strange SD Card issue on my XT1045 update number 21.11.56. I've got two of these phones, one for my partner, one for me. I've also got two Class10 64GB SD Cards. Only my phone has this problem.
When I start the phone with the SD Card inserted, it says it's blank or wrong format. If I use the format function, this cycle repeats itself. My 'fix' is to remove the SD Card and wait a few seconds and then reinsert it. At this point, the card will work fine until the next reboot. If I switch the SD cards then I have the same problem, so it's the phone, not the SD Card.
Any ideas? Any help?

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...

Hi,
I have motorola atrix 2 MB865 with 32gb sd card. It was working fine for a long time. I had pattern lock and my kid put multiple patterns and got it permanantly locked. There was no way of unlocking it other than resetting the phone.
I did that, since then there were lot of problems related to sd card. Often my sd card was shown as damaged sd card in phone and i need to reformat it but in pc it never showed like it. Once reformatted it worked fine for a few days.
Another problem is that while I am shutting down the phone it gets stuck on that process, as soon as i remove the sd card - it shuts down immediately. (its FAT32 formatted)
I am not able to understand what problem it might be. Have any one of you experienced such a situation and solved it. I would like to fix it as soon as possible. but out of choices. Any leads would help.
Thanx!

I have a class 10 SDHC microsd card from samsung in my galaxy s7. EVERY time I reboot, the card is shown as corrupted. I checked it with my card reader on my PC and not a single error was found.
Note: I noticed that when my device is even the slightest bit warm, this happens during reboot; however, if I turn off my device and let it cool under an air conditioner and then boot it on with the card, it's more likely to detect the microSD card and work as normal.
Anyone face any similar issue?

Either the SD Card is faulty, or you have a defective device... I am using an SD card and never faced such issues.
I have exactly the same problem as you do. Whenever I reboot my phone or unmount the SD-card, the card becomes corrupted. Wondering if buying a new SD-card might solve the problem. Any suggestions?

Have you tried reformatting the microSD card?
Yes, multiple times.
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, my micro sd suddenly stopped being detected by phone. Settings app pushed out a notification saying I need to format my micro sd. I tried to format it but it's stuck at 20%. I restarted my phone. Still the same message. I took it out and inserted into card reader and plugged into windows 11 computer. Everythingbis still there. I can still copy and move files of micro SD in windows 11.
2 possible culprits.
1. I restarted my phone
2. I accidentally toggle on "Force allow apps on external" (i have since toggle this off but issue still persists)
How do I fix it so I can use my micro sd in Android phone?
Possible causes for Android not recognizing your SD card:
1. Often, the SD card in the slot simply has no contact with the receiver. Then it is inserted into the device, but can not connect to your Android smartphone. It can then help to remove the SD card once and insert it again. If it clicks into place correctly, the card will either be recognized or there is another problem.
2. The card itself could also be the reason why your Android device does not recognize it. Have you inserted the SD card the right way round? You will usually find a small symbol on the slot that indicates the insertion direction. Another problem could be the write-protect switch of the SD card. It must be deactivated.
3. If you are using an older Android smartphone, the SD card you want to insert might simply be too big. Many older models only support memory cards up to a maximum of 32 gigabytes. Sometimes even only models with up to 16 gigabytes are possible. Information about this can be found in the manual of your Android device. In an emergency, you can also ask the manufacturer directly.
4. Of course, a defect in the SD card is also an option. You can rule this out by inserting your card into another device and testing whether it is recognized. If this is the case, the SD card works.

Hi. Thank you for your response. I did an additional test.
I inserted the card into a card reader then plugged into my phone as otg. It worked fine. Everything was accessible.
So that concludes the card reader slot is the issue. But my question is that the card was inserted in the phone since a long time ago and i never opened the sim tray even just before it started malfunctioning. Is there a possible software issue or it is 100% sure it is a hardware problem?
