It's been a long time since I've had a phone with a micro SD card slot. I got this phone today and popped in a Samsung Evo Select 64gb microSDXC UHS-I card when I put the sim card in. What do I have to do to make the phone see the card? I expected to see it when I sent into "storage" in settings but it only shows the internal storage.

Popped the micro SD card into a PC and it didn't see it. Must be faulty so I'm getting a replacement.

Don't do that, just use a format SD card tool for your pc, like this one:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
Can you see the SD in the disk management section? ( Assuming you are on a Windows PC)

No. It's not listed in the disk management section.
I had the same problem with a similar Samsung SD. They sent a new one in about a week.
Got my replacement a couple days ago. Popped it in and blam it worked.

Hope it's not too much to ask if I can know how you returned it. I've started to have this issue myself recently, and I tried two sdcards and it seems that it reads it as corrupted

If the phone says the card is corrupted, just back up your data with a PC, put it back in the phone and format it trough the Storage menu. Happened with me and worked.

Search google for a tool to format your card with. Most of the time you can format it normally as fat32 but youre actually supposed to format it them a special way

nop... formatted it from computer=no good, on the fone=no good, using a different software=no good....
Exchange the card it may be bad, I've held off buying a 32gb card because half of the reviews on Newegg for 32gb cards are negative and report failures or DOAs. Seems like the techs a little immature. Sandisk is the most reliable brand though.

if it had any bad sectors why would it work with no problems on my computer... with sd reader or usb reader...... i think its not working coz it does not have those rsa keys on it n simply copying to the new sd does not work....
So this morning I was deleteing files off my sd card from my phone. Then tried to mount it through my computer to put some files on. Wouldn't mount on the pc via the phone.
Disconnected it and it no longer was mounted on my phone.
Took out the card and used a card reader and it no longer was able to be read on my pc without the phone.
Anyone have any ideas to get my sd card back and working. Currently I had to resort to using a 2gb card that I could fill within seconds.

Mine did this yesterday after flashing a ROM. Lost everything. I was able to see things using CWM but not the phone itself or the PC. Formatted it with CWM and it wiped everything but still the phone or computer wouldnt read it. I waited a couple hours and loaded it back into my computer and just left it. A couple minutes later Windows popped up a box asking if I wanted to format it. I did a quick format and it read the card size. Previously it errored out saying it could not format it. I dont know what happened and why it all of a sudden worked

I still won't have access to a pc until tomorrow, hopefully ubuntu will be able to work some magic for me
I formatted after using the options under error checking failed. Everything moved exceptionalling slow while doing this however.
I did it under windws xp. Not much difference with win7 or vista I suppose. Ubuntu even.

Everyone having SD card issues, before you format it or do other crazy stuff, try going into your gallery on the phone first. Works for me everytime my sd goes "invisible"

I am having the exact same problem with my Sandisc 64GB card now only it will not format either. I can format it all day long but all the data remains intact. Anyways I am working with Sandisc now and they have determined it is faulty. Sounds like yours is failing too. I would get your info off it ASAP.
Thanks

Does it work if you delete it from your pc?
It might be a dead sd card otherwise.

Can you add files to it?
Is the card set up as being write protected?
I have tried pc formatted the card and also used the phone format method. 40gb worth of data keeps coming back in original format.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I guess it has reached it write limit.
You can try another card to see if the problem persists. If it does your phone is screwy. If it doesn't the SD card is cooked.
Yeah guys it looks like card is becoming faulty. Tried another sd card phone has formatted it fine and using it now. Its a shame how these card break so easily.

I had mine for 2 or 3 years and haven't had any problems.
Depends on what brand you get.
Ok, so a strange thing has happened. Immediately after a reatart I now can't move apps to my SDCard.. and apps that i had previously move have now disappeared from the app drawer. And are grayed out on the home screen with a little sdcard symbol. The SDcard is working fine in all other respects i can read and write to it just fine..
Has anybody else experienced this or can suggest a reason as to why this may have happened.

Can you access other files on the card? Try ejecting it (in Settings / Storage), popping out the SIM card holder to make sure the SD card is seated properly, then reinstall it.
Yep, i can read and write to the card fine.. all my files are there. The strange thing is the ability to move to SD card was there prior to restart... now its gone.. but for all other things the card is fine..

How much are you able to move? Is it still a small part of an app?

Put this into Google as you may have to use Google Translate, but the program is in English, great program. It may take a while but let it go all the way to the end.
