I just received my locked Streak through AT&T as an upgrade. Free, but it's still on 1.6, and what's worse, it won't recognize the SD card. Any suggestions or previous experience with this? I'm guessing it's the card itself rather than the reader, but before I go and buy another micro SD card, I thought I'd find out if this is common or if there's a fix for it.
Why buy sdcard? Ask for replacement from at&t.

I initially had problems with the MicroSD above the SIM not being recognized. The solution I used was to push the card in a bit more firmly than expected and then make sure the cover is pushed up as far it can go. You may however be able to avoid pushing the card in and possibly damaging the socket. Bend the tab on the inside of the back cover with a pair of needle-nose pliers so that the tab is at a slight angle facing towards the MicroSD card. The added pressure from the tab being bent in this way should keep the card in place.
I say try and see if yr card works in another phone or reader then if its the card call Att to replace it.

Ok... I'm not so sure If i was supposed to make a new thread or reply to an old one... but If you replaced your MicroSD card, then what kind did you replace the 16gb card with? I put in an older 8GB C4 card and my phone is not working as well as before. It is not responding during sync and it opens applications a bit slower. Every time, after about 5 minutes into the sync operation, it stops responding and I have to reconnect it to my computer, and I fear that it is overcharging the battery.
So just curious, what brand, model (if you have it), size, and class, are you using currently?
SD Cards
Hi Kuree,
The first time I replaced my SD i used a Lexar 16GB Micro SDHC (it has a 4 in a cirlce on it as well). This one worked perfectly, syncing and there were no slow downs what so ever.
The card i have in my surround now is Also a 16GB MicroSDHC (with a 2 circled on it) this card also works perfectly. i'm not sure on the brand name as this one doesn't say it but I'm pretty sure it was a Lexar Mobile version.
I've only used 16GB cards so i can't exactly tell you if the 8GB card is the root of your issues.
Hopefully this helps you out!
If you have any more questions let me know and I'll see if i can answer them.
Take care,
Coockoo
problems....
I guys, sorry to resurrect an old thread. I'm having issues with upgrading to 32g... after hard resetting the phone and setting up time, the phone just gets stucked in "installing apps". It just seats there.

Hi,
Is "ADATA" micro SDHC 4
They told me (were I bought this) that this card should work.
Now I can't even read or format the SD card....
Thanks!!

I didn't even know the surround had a memory card slot, where is it?
Any chance to revive the "adata" card?. I would really hate to trash 26 bucks...
To LKMR, search youtube, there is a nice tutorial on how to expand the memory of the phone.

In this video how to disassemble, locate, and swap out the microSD card in an HTC Surround Windows Phone 7 on AT&T. Please note that undertaking this project will most certainly void your handset's warranty.

I used a Sandisk Class 4 32GB. No problems at all... WELL worth the price and effort. They are also VERY cheap if you keep an eye on Deal a Day. I've bought 4 from there so far, the last was like $20.

Is anyone else using this card, or had these problems? Card mounted fine when I first took it out of the package. File Transfer from my backup on my Ubuntu 13.10 powered Dell d630 Lat. to the card in a USB 2.0 reader was real slow. Had problems with files disappearing, folders showing up empty, and apk files becoming corrupt and unusable. Card comes in extFat32 format.pulled the card, wiped it and formatted it to fat32 using gParted.transfer the second go round was a lot faster for the most part, but files disappearing and folders coming up empty still happening.i even re downloaded several files just incase they were corrupted during the transfer. Is it a bad card, or are there problems with how s4/MJA handles 64gb cards?

I have the same card and I have no issues. Just take card back and swap it. Less headache and down time

I recently bought a sandisk class 10 64gb XDHC card and have had 0 problems. I agree with the poster above. Be sure (Since it's off of ebay) you really are getting what you pay for. My card was $50 from amazon. Don't know if you got it super cheap or something from ebay but that could be your problem. I would exchange it and if that still doesn't work then you are most likely getting mislabeled fake cards. Memory I always try to get from the manufacturer or reputable company because there are TONS of fakes out there.
Again I'm on 4.3 MJA stock with root and philz recovery and have no problems with mine albeit a different brand.
Best of luck though!
For what it's worth I had the sandisk 64gb ultra (from amazon) and had issues constantly with it becoming unmounted, despite anything I tried.. Some have no issues with the sandisk. Prior to that I had a sandisk 32gb ultra and never had an issue at all, which is what I expected from the 64gb sandisk.
It didn't take me long to switch to the same samsung 64gb (from amazon) you've got, no issues at all, and it's been several months now....
I think the others said it right, get that thing replaced for another...
Been using my 64gb SanDisk Ultra sd card since I had my Verizon Note 3 with no problems, then all of a sudden my Note 3 just stopped recognizing the card. I can take it out of the phone put it in my pc and wallah it works works great, take it out put it back in my Note 3 and nothing. Has anyone had this to happen to their phone?

Not sure if I had this problem yet. I put my sd card in the slot and it got super hot. I got worried and removed it. Anyone else have this issue?

Does your phone recognize other cards or does the problem just happen with the SanDisk?
Yes it does, I even put it in my PC and got the same results, I'm trying to retrieve my data by using a program that ScanDisk provides via an Internet download.

I have purchased a new 64gb ScanDisk Ultra Extreme to replace the old one so hopefully I want have that problem again. Would like to recover my data from the old sd card though. Have not had any success with the software from ScanDisk....

You should contact SanDisk. They should replace it. It apparently had happened with SanDisk cards before just read some of the reviews on Amazon. It might have been a bad card, or maybe this phone has a tendency to kill SanDisk cards, which I hope isn't the case but someone else said the same thing happened to them, having the card for a while and then it being in this phone for only one month, and poof, stopped working.

SD card unexpectedly removed... The heck does that mean? I didn't take it out nor jar or drop the phone. That just popped up and I didn't have access to the SD card until I rebooted. It's a 128gb samsung evo microsd that was formatted in the X. Anyone else have this issue?

No issue here. Could be a sim tray or contact issue. 64 gb card forget which brand. Sandisk pro I think.
I'm having the same issue. Love this phone! But this is getting a little irritating
I have not had this issue. Been using the phone for two weeks with a 64 GB Samsung Pro+ card in it since day one.
I just boxed my turd up and sent it to moto today. The bootloader was unlocked but flashed back to stock unrooted, hoping for the best. They gave me a code to get a new one made...it said it will be here Oct 1st.

Anytime I had this issue previously, it was 100% the card.

So, far I've only had it twice in the 3 weeks i had it
Like other folks stated, it has to do with the SD card. If you purchased a SD card from eBay or something generic, you are bound to have this issue. I think it has to do with the flimsiness of the plastic. Borrow a good brand card from someone and give it a try. Chances are issue will be resolved. I had the similar issue which was resolved by purchasing a genuine San Disk card.
It is not necessarily the card. I have a genuine 128GB Sandisk microSDXC (exFAT file system) that's very fast. After no problems for several days, the Pure gave me the message that the card had an incompatible file system and asked if I wanted to format it. I reset several times, got the same message twice, then after that the Pure didn't recognize that a card was even present. I pulled the card (and SIM!?) and reinserted it, and it works fine again. Only catch is that now all the files on the card have that day's date and the time I reinserted the card. Bizarre and very troubling. My plan is to format the card in the phone and reload it from the backup on my hard drive.
I had this problem for a while on my old Samsung GS3, and it turned out to be a firmware issue on the phone that Samsung never addressed. I hope that it's not the same case here.
same problem here. i use my old sd card for two or three weeks. this card works fine. its a 8gb sandisk micro sdhc. now i bought a new 64gb card (SanDisk MicroSDXC Action SC 64GB Extreme 90MBs SDSQXNE-064G-GN6AA; this one: http://amzn.com/B013CP5C02) and got this problem. yesterday the replacement card from amazon arrived but the problem persists.
This is my 3rd moto x (pure) edition, the first 2 I had no problems with using the same card, so I'm kind of assuming it's the tray on this particular phone, but I'm going to try and format the card and see what happens
I have seen this before on multiple "tray" devices... place a couple layers of scotch tape on the back of the card and reinsert it, adds just a bit of pressure to the connection... often enough since tolerences are pretty tight on these things.
Got my v20 yesterday but its mot reading my 128 gb micro sd card . guess I'm going to have to format but transfer all my files to computer first . can't loose I have a lot . The card is SDXC .

Thanks for sharing.
You forgot to disclose the manufacturer and model of the card. Havent had a problem with any micro's in my v20.
It's a Samsung SDXC

Im having issues with sd card with camera saving to sd card. Also when i crop a photo it won't save. Using my 256 card from my Note 7 that cane with phone. Never had a issue on the Note, with the V20 km.about to just use it for the DAC only n go back to Note 5. Permissions in Google have been charged to give permission but still cant saved edited photos
I recently had a Samsung sdxc evo class 10 fail (suddenly couldn't write anything despite having 80gb of free space left).
Did manage to copy the data off of the card but I ended up having to get a new card, this time I went with SanDisk class 10. So far so good.
Wonder if there is a defective batch going around (I purchased mine about a year ago)

I have the same card from Samsung,( it was free with the Note 7). Unfortunately, I'm still having problems playing videos. I've tried VLC and MX, but both only play some of the files from SD. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Definitely have to format. If you'll notice the card is assigned I don't know what to call it and filesystem may have been handled differently. I had to do same. Took time but works proper.

Same thing happened to me, 128gb card bought about a year ago. I had to buy a new one.
This new one has been "corrupted" twice now to where I had to format it.
Thanks for sharing. But none of those is related to my issue. My card isnt corrupted. My v20 just wint read it but when I put it back in the v10 all is fine also my computer reads it. But the v20 dosent even see external storage that is my issue

I believe you are right I just popped in a 8gb san disk I had brand new never used and phone doesn't ever register it. But as far as I know regardless of Sd card inserted ir not the phone should show external memory in the menu

Probably needs format on phone.

That is correct. The phone should detect it regardless of the need to format or not.

I solved this by moving the SIM from the main slot to the side slot (dual SIM model). Weird thing was that anything < 64 gig would read fine, larger SD cards wouldn't. Only thing i can think of is a design flaw whereby the SD card is getting pushed up and not making contact properly due to the SIM underneath it. Try taking the SIM out and seeing if it will read/format/re-read it then?

I have an ATT LG V20 that experienced the same symptom so I tried similar procedure by remove SIM card and insert the micro SD then boot up to see if it would first see the SD card and it did, after that I shutdown and reinsert the SIM card and everything is still working.
