Hey there,
I bough this SD card but I don't think the phone is reading it properly. When I pop it in my apps don't see that there's a card inserted. I go to Settings > Storage > SD card...it reads "Ready" but I can't click on it or do anything with it. I can attempt to encrypt/decrypt it, but it will be stuck at "Checking SD Card..." for hours/forever.
Any advice or should I just return this one and get a new SD card?
I'm coming from Google Nexus phones so I don't have any working cards to go off.

I own a HTC HD2 from T-Mobile. When I goto the settings and view card settings, it shows "No SD Card".
I tried the following but no luck.
1. Factory reset.
2. Taking out and formating the Card using FAT32
The Card is good as I can use it with my laptop. Its a 16GB card that came with it.
if you go into the file explorer does the card show?
Stop double Posting
Dont bother get a new one its dead,got a new one yesterday after having the same problem myself,the SD card included with HD2 is junk,you will see the differance once you get a new one.
A 1GB card works but the 16GB came with it doesnt.
Today my x started saying the memory card was blank. It will not let me format it or anything. Anyone else have this happen yet?
I have gotten a not recognized mesage before. I took the battery out and pulled the sd card out then booted the phone. Then turn the phone back off and try re-inserting the card.
Do you have another sdcard reader that you can test it in?

I just got a Droid X used. It didn't come with a memory card. I tried the 4gb card out of my Incredible but it wasn't recognized. I tried an old 1gb card. Not recognized. I bought a new 8gb card from Sam's Club. Not recognized.
I did a search here and this post is the closest to what I am experiencing.
I tried to format the new 8gb card to FAT32 just to see what happens. No success.
I have rebooted the phone several times, removed and reinserted the card, and made sure it is seated properly.
The Settings>Storage screen states the following:
Total space - Unavailable
Available space - Unavailable
Mount SD card - Insert an SD card for mounting <grayed out>
Format SD card - Format (erase) SD card <grayed out>
Any suggestions?
If this is a software glitch and rooting is an option, I can do that. I am familiar with rooting from my Incredible. I am hesitant to root with this issue lingering.
Thanks.

have you tried cleaning the sdcard slot? just a thought. if that does not work then its possibly a defective slot.
Hi. I was directed to this website, because I had a problem with my HTC HD2, regarding the SD Card. I had Android installed on my sd and was booted on it. I selecting the Unmount SD Card > Erase SD Card data while booted to Android. After I restarted my phone, (it was now switched to windows 6.5) It is no longer detecting my SD Card at all. I tried reseting to factory settings but that didnt work. It is a 2 gb SD card. i dont care about the files in it, I was want it to detect the SD card with all its storage space. Any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

Take the card out, put it in a card reader, card reader goes in the PC and format to FAT32. It should work then. If it still doesn't, you could try software from this site:
http://www.partitionwizard.com/
It's a partitioning software. You can check the health of the card, it could be that it's just dead. You can probably get a new 8GB microSD for around $6.
Good luck!
Did you try changing it?
I have a S5 G900F, stock ROM G900FXXU1BOE5 not rooted. I have a ton of apps and I have a Sandisk Extreme 3 with 32gb. I never had issues with the phone nor sd card. I save documents, pictures and videos in the SD card.
However I reached the point when I really need to move some Apps to the SD card. The problem is that when I move them, it says application moved and then it says that the memory card can be safely removed. I need to go to settings-> storage and mount again the sd card. Once I do it the moved application appears with an android icon, it says the name like com.whateverapp.xxx and when you open it, it says the application stopped working.
The application cannot be moved back to the internal storage. Does somebody know how to fix this issue?
Uh... I never had "memory card can be safely removed" message after moving app to SD card.
And as you can see, I have some of them there... None of them stopped working.
SD card is Kingston class 10 64GB card

Hello, I'm new here.
I'm using Moto X Style Indian version with Android Marshmallow from last 5 months. I'm using "SANDISK ULTRA microSD UHS-I CARD" with format as internal storage without any problem, but now suddenly a notification show up that "Insert your SD card", I even didn't remove my card since I put it once. I tried to insert my SD card to HTC phone, saying "Damaged SD card" with only option for format it. (I'm not able to take screenshots or click any pic)(SD card is still in my moto x style but in setting it shows "Not Inserted".)

Welcome to the world of adopted storage...
Try to power off the device, remove the card and reinsert it, then power back up. If that fails, either the card has failed or the encryption key has gotten corrupted or "lost". There isn't a lot you can do to save or resurrect it if your device doesn't see the card and unencrypt the data.
When a card is adopted as internal storage, it is encrypted and uses the ext4 filesystem, it will only work in the same device with the same key and cannot be read in any other device without formatting it back to FAT32 and wiping out all the data. There is some information here about reading the data with a Linux computer, if you have the appropriate card reader and can access the encryption key on the device.
Thanks for your reply @acejavelin,
I tried everything turn my phone off, eject card then reinsert it, still same error. Now what to do? Will I format my card with FAT32 by attach my card with PC? I know my data will not save... but I have no option.

Yes... Reformat it in a PC or in another device. Personally, I would not reuse the card, especially as adopted storage, since it can no longer be trusted.

Ok, I will also not use this card again with adopted storage. Thanks for your suggestion @acejavelin .
Seems my problem will be solved , but all my data will loss :crying:
Sounds like the problem is with your phone's SD card reader, not with the card itself. Other computers / phones will tell you the SD card is damaged/corrupted because they cannot read it (the card is encrypted), but that doesn't mean the card is actually damaged or corrupted.
You won't be able to extract your data from it unless you can get it to read the card again. I would try popping out the sim /sd card tray and shoving it back in many times, to see if eventually it will read (mine takes 2-3 tries before it will read)
If you can't get it to work you may need to contact Moto support to get a replacement under warranty (assuming you haven't unlocked the bootloader / voided the warranty)
Definitely try another card though if you have access to one, just to check and see if it will read a different card.
