Hi there,
just own one droid pro, got trouble at micro sd issues.
the micro sd slot in my droid pro is not the same as other machine with micro sd slot, (this is the first one from motorola), the micro sd slot in droid pro seems have no spring on it, I just directly push in/push out the micro sd card, not like other machine, like samsung i9000, the micro sd slot seems have a spring on it, push in will attached, and push it , the micro sd card with eject a little bit, then you can safely take it out.
But droid pro is different from others, it like flat, no spring , I just push in/push out.
The result is that droid pro can't recognize the micro sd card randomly, sometime it will recognize it, sometimes not.
Can someone classify is it normal or faulty micro sd slot?
All the best!

was trying to access a game after putting it into my phone and it froze, causing me to take out the battery and restart it.
After that, the phone wouldn't read the memory card but everything was fine.
I went back to stock and still, it's not reading it but everything else works fine. I will eventually have to re-root it but anyone know what the problem is?
after pulling down the upper bar, it says "SD card blank or has unsupported file system." HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Do You have a micro sd to sd adapter and an sd reader? If so, does your computer read the info? If not then the card is messed up, and needs to be formatted (lose everything) or replaced. Sometimes cards just die.
If you don't have an adapter and sd reader, then you can try formatting it from your phone but again, you will lose everything.
Had a similar problem, in the end bestbuy replaced my sd card as it happened the day I bought my phone. I would start by trying to use it in either another phone or on a computer(like in a usb micro sd card adapter)

My 16gb sandisk micro sd card is no longer being recognized. I booted my HTC HD2 in Android and mounted the sd card to transfer pics to my pc. Just then I got a call coming in and the phone immediately became unresponsive. I kept getting the force close message but I couldn't stop it (it seemed to be in a loop) So I unsafely disconnected the phone from the pc, took out the battery and rebooted it. It started up in windows, but when I went to check for the sd card it could no longer be found. I pull out the card put it back more than twice, and yet the phone failed to recognize my memory card.
Please help me guys
put the sd card into a card reader, connect to your pc and if if its recognised there, it might be a dying card I've lost 1 16GB and an 8GB in 18 months with my hd2
If the pc recognises the card with no error save the date, reformat to primary partition fat 32 using Easeus free edition, also try the phone without the card
Thank u
Hey ..I really do appreciate the time u took to respond. Funny I was thinking the same thing....I broke my old card reader, now I have to get another another on from Amazon.com. As soon as I can lay my hands on one that is gonna be my first move.
Again, thanks a bunch.
P.S
Sadly I feel like an idiot for not backing up my sd card...(more than 3000 photos on there )

After trying the SD Card thru a card reader and if it still doesn't work/recognize it - then your mobile (hd2's)windows is corrupted - coz the same happened with me thrice and ultimately I took it back to the HTC service centre and they re installed the windows 6.5 and since then everythings is working normally and there is no problem with the SD Card anymore, but your old card becomes thrash and you'll have to get a new card :0)

Same here. Lost a sd-card recently but probably due to my own fault.
The card was difficult to get out of the reader (Yup, it seems there is some tolerance on the size) so I had to use some small tweezers.
I finally managed to get it out without any visual damage but after inserting it in the HD2 it couldn't see it anymore, neither in the cardreader afterwards.
What I think is that I had physically bent the card and broke the connections to the actual memory chip.
Some good advice on memory cards and I can't stress this out enough especially for dedicated photo equipment. Instead of buying a 16GB card buy 2 x 8GB and from a known seller and known brand.
The best and probably worst experience example that I can give is from a couple who were on their honeymoon and lost all of their pictures because of a el-cheapo 8GB memorycard.
For a phone it is something else but I made a custom out of it to create a map on my c-drive called sd-card phone. Ok it is not a every week copy but it is handy to have the data on my pc and on my phone.
I brought a XPeria play from Amazon.com that is supposed to be new and appears to be that way. I was super excited to get it...
Except one thing...
The SD Card that the phone come with is not being read properly. It comes with an 8GB card.
I am not sure what brand of card it is. It says 8 GB microsd HC
I even tried using my current SD card that I have in my other phone, also 8 GB made by kingston. Class 4 I believe
Everytime i stick it in there it says SD CARD CAN NOT BE ACCESED
I go into settings and it will at first show 7.40 GB available and then it will change to unavailable.
What can I do?
It is an R800i
I actually had the same problem just a little while ago and I put into my x10 and it said the card had damaged clusters out something like that and it just repaired it, so that could be it or the sd card slot just doesn't work properly
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
Not too sure if this will work, but i guess its worth a shot right?
Format the SD Card ~ Take a backup of everything on it if needs be.
(If you can't do it via the phones settings, use an adapter and do it via your pc)
then place it back in, try to mount it, if it fails; reboot the phone and see if it automatically mounts.
Hope it works if you try it.
Make sure the back of the phone is securely in place, there is a tiny microswitch on the rear of the phone that tells it the back is on, if the back is not on properly, the micro sd will unmount itself.
Hi everyone. This is the 3rd time my phone has spontaneously unmounted my card, and this time it simply destroyed my microSD card. I have no music on the card (read that thread) nor have I yet had any re-boot cycle problems. I simply get a message that the card has been "unexpectedly removed". It has, of course, not been. The first 2 times I was able to get the card working again with no data loss. I turned the phone off, took the card out, rebooted the phone without it, then re-inserted it and rebooted the phone again. It was fine. This time, the card was simply dead. My phone wouldn't see it, nor would my computer. I changed out the little adapter card case and finally the computer saw there was something, but said it was not in "any known format". My only choice was to format the card. I formatted it on the computer and ran a disk check on it, put it in the phone and booted up. I got a little icon with a question mark, and a message that the card was either blank or un-formatted. So, I let the phone format it. Again. It now shows up in the storage description, empty and usable- so I don't think it's a bad card. The card is a Samsung 8 gig card. Note3 is stock, 4.3, Verizon is the carrier. Build JSS15J.N900VVRUBMJE
I want to add that I think it has something to do with the camera. I have the camera app save directly to the card. I've noticed that on all three occasions this has happened, its been shortly after I had a couple of odd photos. A portion, usually the lower third of the photo (if you think of a grid) is gray. Just like part of it is cut off. I auto-save my photos to google, and they look fine when I view them there, but on the phone, they were corrupt. One didn't show up in the thumbnail preview in the gallery at all. Also, the camera was taking an inordinately long time to save. All my photo stuff is stock...gallery and camera app...no editing software except what little bit is offered in the gallery.
Has anyone else had similar problems. Anyone have any ideas for a fix?
I would try another card. If it happens again, then it's your phone. Sounds like a hardware issue. So try another card, if it happens again, Factory Reset. If it happens after that with different cards, then I would send my phone in for a replacement.

FWIW, I have fooled around with moving microSD cards between:
(i) a camera (which uses a SD card adapter for the uSD)
(ii) a (POS) USB dongle card reader attached to a computer
(iii) same (POS) USB dongle card reader attached to a Nexus 7 OTG cable (rooted ROM or TWRP recovery running)
(iv) an older Android (Gingerbread) phone
In doing the above, all sorts of bad things have happened:
1) Occasionally the camera reports there is no card present (honestly, I think this is simply loose contacts when using a uSD to SD card adapter). Turning off the camera and re-inserting the card fixes this.
2) Loss of all files necessitating re-format after re-inserting card into Camera following a visit with the N7**
3) VFAT filesystem not recognized by OS kernel on the N7+OTG, but works fine with TWRP with same OTG+card reader (that is, some kind of strange kernel sensitivity)
4) Failure of Camera to recognize media after insertion into the GB Android phone - apparently due to many directories created at the SD card root. Card is not corrupted, but camera no longer recognizes it.
** this would only occur if I used the SD Card slot of the (POS) USB dongle card reader; if I plugged the the uSD card into the uSD slot on the (POD) USB dongle card reader, things were fine. Go figure.
So I guess what I am saying is that - based on my experience - your mileage is probably going to vary .
I was doing all this (albeit not with a Note 3) while I was travelling, and only had the Camera, Nexus 7, OTG cable, camera USB cable, and (POS) USB dongle card reader with me - no laptop or other computer.
Finally what I ended up doing - which seemed to cause the least amount of trouble - was to boot my tablet into recovery, and attach the camera to the tablet as an OTG Mass storage device. That is: the uSD card never leaves the camera.
I'm not up to speed about OTG on the Note 3 yet (e.g. is root even needed?), so I don't know what your options are there, but perhaps this gives you a couple of different things to try.
Just make sure you've got all your photos backed up safely off the uSD card before you start experimenting.
cheers
.
[Edit] I see I am guilty of not reading the OP carefully - you were only moving the card out of the Note3 to investigate what was going wrong, not as a matter of course.
Anyway, it could be a mechanical issue (intermittent contacts), or it could be a bad card. Although card class might make a difference for high-speed writing, you shouldn't experience corruption even if you are using a very slow (class 2) card - unless there are bugs in the kernel.
If you have another card to try out (before you rush out and start buying cards), that might be a useful experiment.
Question? SD Card from eBay? I had no luck with 3 64GB Class 10 cards off eBay got fed up and went to Walmart and got a Ultra U1 Class 10 64GB and haven't had a problem since. I have tons of music and pics on it no problems for the last 2 months. Lots of fake SD Cards on eBay from what I read.
Just my 2 cents
I just found this again...I got pneumonia shortly after posting the original thread. Thanks to all for replying...I just forgot about this. SD card never did work properly. Just got OTA KitKat so I'll see how that plays out. I'm reading there are even more issues with external cards now.

Absolutely no idea. It's a 2 gig older card. That being said, it didn't like my 8 gig card, which works fine in my tablet, either

I've had issues with Sandisk 64gb class 10 cards randomly locking on my Note II and III.....turns out to be a samsung issue according to Samsung.

Hello!
I noticed such a bug on my Fire HD8: when I connect an external sd card as an external drive, the system, or rather the icons, are loaded quite slowly (5-10 seconds), as soon as I take out the sd card, the system loads instantly, including icons. Tell me, how can I speed up the system boot process when the SD card is connected?
Hehe, it looks like I solved my problem myself by replacing the Sandisk micro sd card 128gb (white one) with 64gb (red one) of the same brand. Believe it or not, the system after the replacement began to boot much faster. ) I used the SD card as an external drive. Hope this helps someone. Did you know? But not me! )
So it goes!
