Hi,
I just got this phone and tried adding micro sd card. though the SIM tray has letters printer SD card on it, the phone is not recognizing the additional memory card.
I am not sure if this model supports an SD card or not!
Is there any setting to enable it or the function not available on this model?
Thanks in advance.
Are you sure the card is not defective or not in the tray properly as you insert into the phone? I have the L29 and it reads my Samsung 256gb with no issues. Can you do a format? Did you partition and format on a pc?
Can you post a screenshot for about phone?
If you were able to put the sd in SIM tray that means ur phone support sd cards.
Check if ur sd is working on ur pc or other phone.

I keep seeing references to internal SD card and External SD card, and just now I was using SDMaid and it lists Sdcard (8GB) and External SD card (empty). Is there a second slot for another SD card that I am unaware of.
I put the 8GB card that came with the phone in the slot next to the sim.
I have wondered this for a while and after searching, I decided to pose the question here to get clarification.

No, there is other slot. Some phones, like the Galaxy S and its variants, do have a soldered on internal SD and a slot for an external. The Desire HD(and therefore Inspire) do not. You can in theory partition your SD card and it is supposed to show up that way, but DO NOT DO THIS.
That's what I thought, but I had to check.
Hello guys
I need help with this problem. Recently I bought a 64 GB sd card. When inserted the SD card into the tablet, it tells me that i have to format. When I tell it to format, it does nothing but get stuck at "Unmounting SD Card". I then inserted the sd card into a reader and connected the reader to the my PC. I formatted the SD card with SDFormatter 4. Once the formatting(Overwrite) was done, I then stuck the SD card into my tablet again. Still didnt want to mount the card and requires to format it.
Any one know the problem? And know how to fix it?

There is quite a bit of discussion on this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611681
Post #106 on this thread explains why Sandisk class 10 cards have trouble while the class 6 cards behave. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460201&page=11
Is there any other formatting software that will allow me to change the SD card from exFAT to FAT32?

Which card do you have? Sandisk or other? Class 10, class 6, or?
I went through two class 10 cards before I got a class 6 card. I formatted the class 6 card with "FAT32 Formatter" from Ridgecrop and that one has been in use since October of last year.

I got the same error in the past with a PNY 32Gb Class 6, the solution, find a Camera which supports SD (use an adapter) and format the SD from there and Voila!! SD Fixed
well i solved the problem. i had to manually update to ics(Austrian) since south africa doesnt give out updates... Well ics formated the card and now got 64gb class 10 working

Interesting - I assume you're running an MTN GT7+... Does it recognize the entire 64GB as usable? (Just curiosity; I really don't need anything bigger than a few GB in my P6210.)

OK, some SD cards are fake and may not work correctly. Depends a lot as to where you bought it. Did you purchase this card from a known good dealer? Have you tried to see if a PC can read the card? When you formatted the card in your 12.2 tablet, did you see the message something to the effect that you would loose all of your data?
If you don't have a PC then try to locate a friend that has one and let them try to read it. If that doesn't work, contact the place that you purchased it from. They may replace the card for you. But beware of fake cards.
Here's a link that explains fake SD cards and how to find out if yours is a fake:
http://www.ebay.com/gds/All-About-Fake-Flash-Drives-2013-/10000000177553258/g.html
I just did a google search for your problem and one guy had to reformat to a Fat32 format in order for his 64GB card to work. His card was formatted Exfat and that would not work.
One last thing to check: When you went to the format page in your tablet, did you see a 'Mount SD card' just above the 'Format SD card? IF so, mount it. If it won't mount then the card has a problem. Also when removing any SD card from the tablet you should 'Unmount SD card' first.

Are you talking about a removable micro sd card?
If you are - Copy everything you need / want to your pc and Format the micro sd card either in your phone or your computer - Insert it (if not already) into your phone - You should see a message saying something like "a new sd card has been detected". The sd card should be setup as Portable Storage.

Maybe you should try the easy option first, check if the phone detects another sd card, if so, the problem is in your Kingston SD Card and you must take it to the warranty.
