Hey guys, new atrix owner and I'm loving it! However I'm having an issue where my sd card is not being recognized. I've searched the forums with mixed results. I think I'm having the issue with the connectors not touching properly but I dont know how to fix it
I've tried several sd cards and also formatting it using a computer.
The option to mount sd card and format it on the atrix is grayed out.its not recognizing it as all.
Any help would be appreciated
you sure it pushed all the way in?
Yes its all the way in! And the right way up. I'm trying to use gingerbreak but it needs an sd card mounted for it to work

If it's brand new with this problem on multiple sd cards I would exchange it just to be sure it isn't a persistent problem in the future

That will be my last resort as im in australia and will have to send it overseas
Someone said you have to tighten something in the sd card tray but not sure what or how

Had same issue with my sdcard. Took it out while phone was turned on and put it back in, phone still on. Phone mounted it right away and I've had no issues since.

Already tried that with no luck. Is there a way to root running 1.8.3 without the need of an sd card?

Fixed the issue. Anyone ever experiences the same thing heres what I did
Take the sd card out
Where you slot the card in push that little piece of metal down a little bit
What's happening is that theres too much room between the sd card and the piece of metal so it doesn't contact properly.
I used a small screw driver and now the atrix is rooted and all is well

What they said, I had to do the exact same thing to get my SD card working.

So one random day my SD card on the phone says its only mounted read only and I can't store anything on the card and this is the stock card that the phone came with so if anybody has a clue to try to get me on the right track to fix it I would really appreciate it

Hi guys,
I'm having a weird issue with my HTC Aria,
the micro SD card I'm using goes missing from time to time especially after boot. The system just refuses to see it, a physical eject and reinsert of the card is enough to get it to read for a while until it dissappears or until I reboot.
I've already tried formatting the card with the PC and in the phone, neither of which has helped the situation. Has anyone got some other tips of what I should do to sort this problem out.
Manually removing the card 3-4 times a day gets quite tiresome.
.
Is it a Class 2 SDHC memory? A friend was having similar problems with an 8GB card of those characteristics and the phone didnt recognized it, not even after eject and re-insert. Try if the same happens with a SDHC of bigger class (speed)
Actually its a class 4, it does it every restart

Have you tried another card to narrow your issue down to card or phone?

I tried a 2gb Samsung card, like the free one you get with the phone. That had no issues, so it looks like my Kingston 8gb is faulty.

Ok it seemed the card wasn't the issue, but rather the type of ext partition. Ext2 wasnt working but ext 3 was

Ok, so I woke up this morning and my Droid X won't recognize my SD card. Astor and titanium don't recognize my SD card either. Any ideas? I and about 15 GB of information stored. Oh, I'm the Tranquility Rom.

Maybe unmount it and remount it? Or does it not even see it as being inserted?
It doesn't seem to know that it's inserted. I have an exclamation mark in my notification bar that says Blank SD card

Do you have a card reader? If so, take it out of your phone and put it in the reader, see if you can get anything off it that way.
Used a card reader and it says my SD card is not formatted. Can I reformat my SD card will it but me into a bootloop since I'll lose my all the files? I'm running Tranquility.

Failed card - SD Ram is slightly damaged every time you do a write (not reads). This means that every SD card has a limited life (due to higher voltage writes that damage the silicon slightly).
All you can do is replace the card.
If it is the card that came with the phone than it is low quality and fails easily. I had the same problem some time back. Bite the bullet and get a good quality card. You wont regret it.

Basically when I restart my phone, I get a pop up that says my Sd card is damaged but when I go to settings and mount it, it works fine until I do another reboot. The one annoying thing that happens is it wipes anything that was saved from my phone like DCIM picture and music etc but everything else is still there(that I saved from my pc).
Any idea what's causing it?

What phone and which vendors SD card?
Didn't I see that Sandisk has a bad batch recently of 32 GB cards?
Also have you tried reformatting?

It's a HC 64gb card running on SGS4 phone. I've tried reformatting off my pc and phone but to no avail. It worked fine on my Note 2

Do you have another card to try? Since its a new device and it worked on your old phone you need to rule out the phone as the issue.

I guess it's one of those annoying things. I'll get a new Sd card, might be the easiest solution

My phone has all the sudden started un mounting my sd card on its own. I can restart my phone and all my pics, songs, apps show up as normal- but as soon as I turn the screen off and back on again it tells me that the sd card has been removed and won't even acknowledge it to be re mounted.
I am on the alliance rom and have tried multiple other roms and it still does the same thing.
I have not tried reformatting my card yet as that was going to be my last option. Anyone else had this issue or know something else I can try?
Do you have another phone to try the SD in? That'll at least narrow down if it's the phone or card. I'm on alliance ROM as well and haven't had that problem

Also, when you guys are taking out your sd card can you push it upward and it automatically ejects it a little bit? Like spring loaded? The s4 does that, but my s5 isn't doing it.
