Boot into recovery and clear cache and it will work.

Tried formatting the sd card AND clearing the cache and neither have worked. Am I going to have to do a factory reset and re-install all my apps?

Weird sd card issue

I have 2 batteries... Seido and the stock battery... I was in a hurry to go out so I switched batteries... I tried to use my camera and it said sd card error... I restarted and removed it.. Put it back in... Still error..
I swap back to my seido battery and now it works fine.. Any ideas?

That IS weird. After backing up your card onto your pc, you might try formatting the card on the DI with the stock battery in and see what happens.
it seems to been a freak issue... I switched my camera storage to internal... the only thing I was mad I was losing was my pictures I took... now its been fine ever since... my sd card is kinda old... I had it in my omnia but figured I only need it to store stuff from apps that require an sd card... would maybe picking up a newer sd card help? only like a 4gb would be plenty for me... I only use 500mb of my 2 gig card as of now
Have you formatted it on the DI?
I have been just clicking the sd card in and out every time I swap batteries... I forgot last night to do it and it didn't work... So just take the extra 1/2 second when swapping the battery to click the sd card...

xperia play doent read sd card

Hi everyone I have a play xperia r800a 3.0.A.2.181, I have a problem wiht the cell becuase it does not read the sd card. I have just reset my phone countless times and I always get the sd card icon above the cell indicating there is not external memory. I entered settings and I select the option "Mount sd card", it loads and reads the memory but the phone quickly Unmount the SD card, if you can help me I would appreciate it... regards
There's a captor behind and insinde the phone for sd card. Make sure you have close the back of the phone.

yeah the phone is designed to auto unmount the sd card if the cover isn't on properly.
Make sure you have the back cover clicked in or your sd card will never mount.
And are you using still using the stock sd card or did you buy one?

32gb micro sandisk not mounting ??

hi,just tried my new 32gb sandisk & it wont stay on,i plugged it in & it says i can safely remove & when i mount it it appears as 29gb and then vanishes again,ive erased the card but still wont stay & also restarted phone ??? any ideas ? is the card a duff ?
bloody hell now my old card is doing the samething & all my data,music & videos etc are not showing ?
none of my cards will stay mounted & ive factory reset also,they just appear & disappear 16gb & my new 32gb sandisk ?
notification keeps coming up to safely remove sd card
There is a little switch that clicks down when you put the back down. Be sure the back cover of your phone is all the way one or it won’t mount.
Also once you change cards your old card will not work in your phone again (data wise).
The phone seems to marry to the card then forget the old card. I learned that the hard way when I put a smaller card in while I rooted my phone (all I did was format the other card at that point). Then I put my main card back in all my games had to be reinstalled.
You can copy all the data files from one card to the other and the phone will recognize both properly

Not that I know of. Like I said it forgot my SD after putting a new one in and formatting it. So i'm guessing one at a time.

Ah, it's actually more convenient because it allows you to change sd cards without restarting your phone.

Same, had the same issues at first, and this was the solution.
That feature is there so hotswapping your memory card won't cause data corruption.

The bad news is you may have a bad quality sd card.
Try another card.
It worked for me.

Borrow a card... you can keep the other card or sell it cheap

Since I changed my card to a better quality card the phone was more stable.
The other card triggered battery drains and camera crashes and then it had the unmount problem before the card eventual failed.
New one solved all problems.

phone will not start up after reset

hi I am useing 4.3 Stock(ish)v03 and then once I put all my programs on the memory card insted of the phone memory as soon as I restart my phone it is locked up on the boot animation screen and it will sit there for 20min just getting hot but not doing anything else. this also happened on a full stock roms too from here as well. if I hold down the power botton and reset it some time it will finaly make it back in to android but not to often it sometimes will go in to safe mode android as well. I know its not th e phone becuase this is the second phone to do the same thing. does anyone know whats going on hear.
Sounds like a bad SD card. Remove your SD card and see if it boots. You may need to format the card or replace it.
