Brand new Z5 not detecting any SD cards - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know of any fixes for this?
Inserted the SD card (tried 2, one san disk & one samsung) but it isn't detecting them at all, I put the card back into my Z3 and it works perfectly, i've even tried sticking some paper under the card in the tray to prop it up a bit because the sim card looked a little higher in the tray but nothing

Card facing the right way vertically and horizontally?

Yeah theres only 1 way it'll go into the tray, Got a new one coming tomorrow anyways, hopefully that will work properly lol

format SD-Card with Ubuntu
and then reformat it to FAT32 on Windows

Was a dodgy phone, not the card, thanks though

t-mpbile mda(aka p3300

i would try another microSd card to see if the slot was broken

[Q] help!

i got a replacement xoom and when i tried putting in a memory card in it, the memory card would get stuck. i managed to get it in but now it gets super hot when its plugged in the xoom. any reasons why?
I would remove it very carefully but it sounds like something is wrong. One of the metal prongs/leads/whatever on the card may have gotten skewed and could be causing mischief.
actually i think its the memory card cuz i put another one in and that one works and doesnt get hot. by the way the memory card i tried first i had it in my evo and then a few days back i had a notification saying blank SD card, do you think thats the problem?

it sounds like your memory card has either gone corrupt or is trying to. I would suggest backing up your data on that card. I say this because the memory card that I have for my Droid 2 started doing that as well as *uninstalling* all my apps that I placed on the SD card (saying that the files were never there and such, but when placed on my Windows 7 computer, it would be there,) and then would bog my phone down while trying to read the card. I tested to make sure it was not the phone itself (which it would have sucked!) and the same thing happened in two other android phones, proving it was the SD CARD because other (as well as newer too) SDCARDS I had laying around and none of them had this trouble. Even a SD Card testing APP on the market said "Uh yeah... it's dying!"
Because Android is on a linux flavor, it likes to KNOW EVERYTHING on the card or it just does not care for it and then treats it like a blank card. I would suggest that if you want to try and salvage the card, do a quick format AND I WANT TO MAKE THIS CLEAR: to the same file allocation system (aka Fat16 to fat 16, Fat 32 to fat 32, NTFS to NTFS. DO NOT CHANGE THIS unless you know what you are doing!) Also note DO NOT do a full format because this will write to every sector of the SD Card, and that is really really bad for the SD card as well as any flash memory...
A quick format just goes over the file allocation tables (a table that stores information for where the information is located on the card) and then try it again. If problem persists, call manufacturer of the card or where you got the card originally (evo = call htc, droid 2 = call motorola, ETC) and see if it is still under warranty.
Good Luck and I hope I helped you out some

[Q] 8gb Micro SD card not recognized

Hello. Recently just got a 8gb class 6 micro sd card for my HTC Desire (CDMA). When I put the card it it's not being picked up by the phone. Not giving me any kind of error message in the notification bar, just acts like no SD card is installed. My previous card was an 8gb class 2 card that came with the phone, so I know it can do high capacity. Threw the card in a card reader and re-formatted it FAT32, still nothing. Tried putting the card in a friends Samsung Galaxy and it picked up fine. Also my old card still works when I put it back in the phone, so I'm truly stumped here. The phone is rooted but Im not running any custom roms..
Well i think the problem in in your phone. Maby some dust on those golden pins or something you cound try another card to check if its the card or phone itself.

My old card works fine in my phone, and the new card worked in a friends phone, and on my PC. Tried re-formatting (FAT32 and FAText) and naming the volume. For some reason my phone just won't pick it up. No error messages or anything, just acts like there is no micro sd card in it.

[Q] atrix 2 sd card not recognized

I have checked other threads, and this is not the same issue. The phone will say SD card unmounted, or just not think one is inserted.
The first thing I did was switch out the SD card for another class 4 two GB card, and then a class 8 sixteen GB card. Both were checked against other phones, and reformatted in fat32. All of them worked in other phones except for this atrix.
I've tried for over a year to get it fixed under warranty by my carrier says it is the SD card even though I have tried several to no avail.
I have factory restored this phone twice, and there was no change in the SD card status.
I did find a mention that the daughter board that controls the flash, and SD card can go bad. So I tried wiggling it as I inverted the card, and it gave me a new error "blank SD card," and then proceeded to say the card was not there.
So am I correct in assuming that the daughter board is bad, and just spend the $8-20 to replace that microboard?
If you are sure the cards are good, which it sure sounds like they are, I would then say it is for sure a hardware problem, before you go buy a new part and have to open things up, I would check and see if you can fiddle with the pins that contact the card. i.e. bend them too get better contact, or at leas clean the area out. if that doesn't work, a new board aught to do the trick.
From What you just said, I feel that it is either an hardware issue.. check if the slot is clean.
Which version of android are you running? It is possible that it can be a software issue too.(just my guess) try updating to better version.
