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

Evo sd card issue

Good morning,
I recently tried to upgrade to a kingston class 4 32gb card in my evo running cm7. I have tried everything to make it work. Under storage settings, it will read the card on boot up and I can see the files in file manager. If I try to input and remount it says unsupported file system. Sometimes in the camera it says failed to access sd card. Can anyone help?

did you format the card with your phone or pc(sometimes when you do it with pc you accidentally do a quickformat, which most of the times gives problems(format fat32))
I gave reformatted in the computer and in the phone and nothing works. I can add files on the computer but after some time in the phone I can't do anything related to the sd card.i also ram as chkdsk

Memory Card Problems

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

yes but you must format the card first before it will read.

I think the phone will do whatever is needed. I plugged in my new Sandisk 64GB card into the phone and it recognized it immediately, and mounted it a second or so later. Working great.

i formatted mine before i ever plugged it in.had issues with them not reading in the past so i just do it now to keep from running into problems
thanks guys. can I format it directly on the phone?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
you can as long as the phone reads it if it does not don't worry should work fine once you format via computer..... I have a 64 GB micro in my phone and no issues but formated it on my computer good luck!
There are some kernels that won't recognize the exFAT format that most 64GB cards come with. ExFAT is proprietary from Microsoft. Stock kernels work. I kept having trouble, so I formatted my card to FAT32 on my computer. The only real limitation is FAT32 only allows files up to 4GB.

What should I format it to... The phone recognizes it and then promptly says remove SD card

Flash a different kernel such as kt's latest or put in your computer and reformat as fat32. I had this same problem and either of these methods will fix.

Are you on the stock ROM or custom ROM? (specifically the kernel)
If you are on the stock ROM, try to insert it into the phone, and if it says "remove sd card", ignore that and instead, mount it (settings, more, storage, scroll to the bottom - mount sd card). It should work after that.
If you are using a different kernel, you will need to find out if it supports exFAT. If not, you may only be able to use as FAT32

MicroSD slot not working

Yesterday I was taking some pictures and noticed the pics were being saved to the internal sdcard, went storage and I can see my Samsung class 10 (fat32)card is not seen, plugged card to PC and it was working there, tried another card on phone and it does not see it so cannot mount it.
Anyone experience this with their phone?

This problem occurred to many users. I suggest you to format your card using phone in exFAT format. Revert after that.
Note if u have any data Backup tp pc and then format within the phone
But it does not accept other cards, so I have to plug a exfat card in for it to recognise there is a card in slot? Or would it be easier to do a factory reset?
This makes the assumption it is a software issue. Currently I cannot factory reset do to being away from PC as I need to backup data.
