Hello
I've been having problems getting my galaxy S2 to detect my external SD Card.
It is a sandisk 8GB class 2 SDHC card that was working fine with my old phone. However, it does not seem to like my my s2 very much. I've tried reformatting it multiple times, FAT32, NTFS, but still no luck.
It is not a phone problem as I have tried a Kingston 1GB card and it worked fine.
Thanks for all your help!
still no luck after another 2 hours
Maybe because you have put a password on it.. I have put a password on my old sd card and it didn't get detected by my galaxy sl.. But after i removed it using the phone where i put the password with, it got detected by the phone..

You can try using a card reader in you pc and format it using command prompt.
If it gets detected on your pc , it will sure work on your s2

Hi , all something strange happened to my XDA II SD Memory card!!! , i was installing an application on the SD Card and i went to the SD Card to explore it searching for something while the XDA while installing but i couldn't see all my old files , when i check the memory status i can see that i am using 70MB if the 256MB but i can't locate the files.
can any one help.
I had the same problem with a Sandisk 256mb card.
I've found that it works fine with a Lexar 128mb card though.
So it looks like the XDA2 has problems with SD cards as well as a completely duff bluetooth implementation.

Man thats bad news, have you tried doing a soft reset.
Also if you have a PC card SD reader try running Scandisk on the
card.
BTW as you can see it not a good idea to access your SD card while
programs/files are being installed / written to it.
HTH
Sandisk
ok interesting , i am also using Sandisk 256MB!!!
i tried soft reset and it didn't help.i will try to find a PC reader and see if i can get anything out of it or i might try to use it on my brother XDA 1 because most of the files were used on my old XDA with PPC2002 rom.
Hurray, its not just me then. I have a 128mb dane elec card and 70meg has disapeared. Im not sure if anything was on teh card previously and I dont have a card reader to check. Its most annoying!
Storage Card slot kaput
I bought a brand new generic 2GB SD card and had it working for a day. It just wasn't working anymore one morning I have left my XDA II overnight on the cradle. Now it wont accept any MMC or SD card I put on it. Any idea what could have gone wrong?
When it was still working I tried copying media files on it (in Microsoft knowledgebase they confirmed in order for media files to work in storage cards you have to create My Documents folder did this on the several cards I tested but to no avail)
The storage card I bought was 2 GB, O2 site says XDA II has been tested on 1GB storage cards--could I have burnt my SD card slot?
Maybe the card brand was too generic-- but then I tried other branded SD and MMC cards after the day my slot stopped recognizing and it still didn't recognize Sandisk (512) and Leica cards (64MB)
The SD card in question is still detected if you put it in a card reader then connect it to a PC
Help badly needed, I'm losing so much productivity with very small storage/ROM space

Well, I'm using Kingston 2GB SD card and it works perfect... and it's a high speed card.
You may have your SD slot broken. My slot for example from time to time gets the card disconnected (let's say, every few hours), and I have to pull it off and put back in.
in a sdcard reader undelete tools from pc can recover files from sd cards as they can with harddisk

Hi there.
I have a 4GB sd card for my SGS SC-02b. Whenever i insert it into the phone the message at the notification area appears saying "sd blank or has unsupported file system". I tried formatting it and tried to mount it but its not working, i m not getting any error message while mounting or formatting, its just not working. I tried reinserting the sd card but still the same.
Looking for some kind suggestions

Is your sdcard locked by that little plastic knob on your card?
what files system are you formatting with recommend you use this app to format externally in your computer with a card reader

thanks for the tip, its working great now
Well, its not working again. It was working for a while, then i had to root my SGS so i removed SD card, rooted my SGS and then reinserted Sd card, now its saying Damaged SD card you have to format it, when i format it, no error message appears and nothing happens and notification area is still saying Damaged SD card.
Any suggestions??
What brand is it, dont tell me its a unbranded one, or a cheap ebay one, it could be a fake one, use you pc to format it fat or use the sd formatter, when you put it into the phone, unmount it then format again using the phone before use.
I have a 32gb adata class 2, 32gb lexar class 10, and many 8gb and 16gb from kingston, toshiba and sandisk in class 2 to class 6, all works.
Connect phone with USB cable in mass storage mode .
Format the SD card then run scandisk/error checking on the card .

hello recently a friend of mine bought an ideos x5, and i it doesnt recognise its micro sd class 2 card neither his phone or mine, tho i tried my card which is class 4 to his phone worked well, tried his mem stick on my phone didnt work, so obviously its something wrong with his mem stick cause its class 2 or something, i did format it, still nothing both phones are rooted ideos x5 with same rom and kernel so it has to be the mem stick, is class 2 uncombatible?
p.s sry for bad english
In short, it should work.
But if its not being detected maybe there are errors on the card, does it work in a PC and is it writable? If so the PC may be more tolerant of errors, but if its not definitely dead.
Nope neither pc reads it

MicroSD "Blank" - Galaxy Note 3
I am having the same issue, phone refuses to see my SD card. Has anyone figured out a work around for this, or is it most likely a hardware issue? Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900V), non rooted.
Have tried multiple microSD's (SanDisk 32GB HC C4, Sandisk 32GB HC U1) that both read correctly on PC. Have tried reformatting with through Windows --> my computer --> format and with SDA SD formatter software (full format, not quick). Phone still will not recognize it.
Also tried connecting phone via USB with SD card inserted, it doesn't show up anywhere in the directory to try formatting it there (image attached). I do get the option to format what I am assuming is the entire phone, this seems like a poor decision.
I have dug around the forum, the majority of the fix's point towards reformatting via PC, does not seem to solve the issue for me. Any advice very much appreciated!! Really hoping it isn't going to require a new phone.
Thanks!
You could do a factory reset and see if that helps. If not, you might have a bad SD card slot.

Bad SD card slot
Yep it was a bad SD card slot. Had Amazon send a replacement, read the card right away.
The problem was the phone it was a brand new phone I went to Verizon in they replace it with a new at the store
