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.

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.

If you mean when it ask if you want to erase card. No because it was fine for a couple hours. The phone not reading the card. When I try to take pictures. It says insert sd card.

Are you sure the SD card is all the way in? Or if you plug it into the computer will it read it?

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?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
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.
I just lost my second 32gb class 10 Sandsk SD card in the S4. I didn't take the card out our do anything special. The card is now unrecognized in my computer and phone. This is the second SD card I lost. Any ideas on what may be causing this and how to possibly repair a card that isn't recognized?

Try a card reader and pop it in a computer. Mine went unrecognized after a hefty download from the play market failed. So I copied everything off it and put it back in. And it worked. After backup if ur pc sees everything u can format it even once in the phone. Good luck

Just ordered a SanDisk 32GB sd card also except mine is class 4... wonder what the difference is, hope it doesn't happen to me :fingers-crossed:
It is disturbing at the cost of these. Fortunately I have a backup that isn't too old and I decided not to move all my apps to the SDCard.

The class is a speed rating.
A class 10 is 2.5 times faster than a class 4 at reading from and writing to the card.
I have just lost my second 32 gig. Lots of data lost. Can this be coincidence. I am worried and will start to back up the next mem card for piece of mind. I will guess the first one worked for 1 year and the second for 2 hope thurd times the charm.
The problem is if you have an sd card. Guessing there's fault where it's taking to long to read it. I've had no problem with this. Got a 32gb sd card today. It's a samsung class 10 one too. Went to restart my device . Got stuck on start up. Tried again. But this time when it got stuck I removed the sd card and instantly it went to lock screen. Weird fault but if you have an sd card only way around it is to take it out while its booting up. Hope this is to help to anyone. Any comments or similar thoughts?

Did you accept an update while the SD card was inserted in your N10.1-14? It can randomly change the device to "custom" status which could cause issues with certain DRM protected content. Rebooting (maybe twice) corrects the issue. Later Samsung devices have occasionally corrupted SD cards too. I'm using two 64GB SanDisk cards in my N3 and SM-P601 and haven't had any issues even after accepting updates. It's kind of "spin the wheel."
I have no issue booting up with my 64gb Sandisk inserted.
You should format that card again perhaps.
Ok I've played around a bit more trying to reboot it about 4 or 5 times but it gets stuck In a loop. Flashes the lock screen for a couple seconds then be to the the start up samsung logo. It will keep doing this over and over again. Took the sd card out... worked straight a away. Weird!! An y ideas?

Ok I downloaded an app called sd booster and I selected for my internal storage to be selected at boot up. This seems to have solved it. Lost everything on my sd card though and it is having trouble reseting it
