Hi there,
I have installed SD Card in Nokia 5 and selected as "internal storage" and moved as many apps as possible in SD card. But when I tried to access SD Card through builtin file explorer "Files" and self installed "ASUS File Manager", the card is not visible. I have connected phone with laptop, it also do not show the card. It only show 16 GB of mobile storage. I am unable to copy any data in the card. Not even all the apps can be moved to card as well.
Is there any way, I can access SD Card for normal data storage and movement while SD Card is selected as Internal Storage. Any expertise please?
Hi bro,
Same thing for me, and I have made a Software Reset, so I lost the decryption key for SD, so my 16GB SanDisk SD card can't be shown on any devices or PC (Running Windows or Linux). My advice, is to format the SD as media device and move what you want.
Nokia definitely has a problem with this feature, I, tried to format my 32GB Transcend 300X card as internal and it stucked and rebooted itself, leaving me with an unusable card. I bought a new one and set it as a portable. Nokia recommends card with read speed above 80mb/s, so I got one with 95mb/s but you can still feel the lag sometimes...

Hi, My SD card on Nokia 5 suddenly stooped being recognized one day and all my apps and data was lost. I switched off the phone and reinserted the card, but no use. Then I took the card for recovery with a data recovery company. They called and told me that all they can see on my SD card is garbage and it could be encrypted or its logical drive could have completely been wiped. I had encrypted my phone but I haven't encrypted my card. Any pointers on what should I do next? The data is very precious to me and I need to recover it.
This is a SanDisk SD card 64 Gb, class 10 used with a Nokia 5 with Android 9 version

Same situation same SD Card here.
After throwing away the unusable card I am using a Trancsend 64GiB card as internal. The phone takes a whole lot of time to properly boot the SD Card after rebooting. Also sometimes the phone says SD Card as corrupted then everyone will choose to reboot but after rebooting the phone temporarily dies. No command, no charging animation (temporarily brick), I faced this twice. After an hour I plugged it to charger again then it showed up that it's still alive...

My galaxy tab fail to detect the internal sd and external sd card today. Don't know why.
The case is that:
if I use the application "my files" I have the following message
No SD card is inserted in your phone
in the the menu card and SD memory:
I have
Internal SD card
Total space not available
Space available not available
any possible action on:
Disassemble the SD card
Mount Sd Card
Format SD card
menus are dimmed
External SD card
Total space not available
Space available not available
any possible action on:
Disassemble the SD card
Format SD card
menus are dimmed
phone's internal storage can be shown as usual.
The above problem happened after backup all the apps (about 90 apps) into sd card (I am not sure which one) and then I shut down galaxy tab and put out the external sd card for copying some files. I returned the external sd card to the galaxy tab and switched it on. Then I found that it cannot detect the internal sd card and external sd card.
I had tried to hard reset it and still fail to solve the problem.
Help!
Anyone can help me?
I just got the phone for half day.

Weird thing, I got that same message today on my tab, but it was for a sec and disappeared.
However when i went inside the my files, all content and everything was ok.
Don't know why it gave that message.
Also i got the message for external sd card - not internal. (have a 32 gb one added).
I have exactly the same issue. I just got my today and have being going crazy on internet all day to try and find a solution to it...anybody has any idea on how to fix this...this is driving me crazy...

how to reformat internal sd card ?
Im also facing the same issue. Cant mount both my Internal Sd and External SD.
I had a related problem. My tab originally had no external SD card, but there was a folder in storage called "external_sd". This is where I've been putting my music etc.
Today I went to add and actual external SD card. Upon doing so, the file explorer on the device now shows the new external card as "external_sd", and its icon portrays an SD card rather than merely a folder.
Problem was, my original "external_sd" folder was now nowhere to be found.
However, upon mounting via USB, my PC detects both storage devices - the internal memory containing the "external_sd" folder, and the actual external SD card.
So on a hunch I renamed the "external_sd" folder on my internal memory to "internal_sd", unmounted, and low-and-behold, I can now see my "external_sd" card, and my "internal_sd" folder.
It seems like Samsung mistakenly named a folder "external_sd" and this name collides with the name of an actual external SD. I never questioned the name, I just assumed they included memory that was logically external, but physically internal. Seems instead they just had a dumb name for a folder.
...or something else I don't understand.

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?
hi all, so I had 6.0 stock on my moto while using a Lexar MicroSDXC 633x 128GB formatted as internal storage and all was well with the world.
I've since unlocked my bootloader, wiped, and rooted/xposed.
Now when i first reformatted my sd card, Android OS gave me a "your sd card appears to be slow" message. I ignored it, but now I'm seeing problems related to the sd card. for example: titanium backup was one the apps the system moved to the sd card, and it reboots on launch rarely. other apps installed on the sd card have uninstalled themselves completely after a reboot....very weird.
I've already moved my apps off the sd card and reformatted it back to portable storage with the hope that I can pull it and run a chkdsk on it and try again, but wondering if anyone else has any ideas...thanks!
Hello everyone, dire need of help here!
I got a new Micro SD card 64 GB Strontium for the phone and formatted it to use as Internal Memory - all previous phones I have been using SD card as portable storage, this is the first time I am using it as internal memory.
It worked fine for 2 days but suddenly yesterday all the photographs folders disappeared from the Gallery app (DCIM folder). I restarted the phone a couple of times but no luck - first some thumbnails disappeared, and then the entire folder!
Since this morning, the phone get restarted continuously, non-stop, while the SC card is inside the phone. If I remove the SD card, the phone works normally. So I am unable to use phone when SD card is inside - unable to copy all the files from the SD card onto a laptop even since the phone restarts before I can do anything on the connected laptop.
What do you think is the problem? How to resolve it?
How to recover all the pics and files on the SD card if I have to format it?

Try this

I would try to recover pics by mounting SD-CARD on PC. I've had SD-CARDs go bad a few times.
16gb isnt enough, bought a 64gb sandisk sd card but after inserting it in and setting up as portable storage, my phone cant write files to it??? I have to use a special browser with root access just to delete some pics. On my old phones it had a directory name like "sdcard1" but on this it has "9DAE-180F". Its recognizing it like a otg usb drive. Which i think is my mistake cuz i chose "setup as portable storage"
Now i have a lot of data on my sd card which would be a pain in the ass to backup and then retry formatting as internal storage. So what i wanna know is will it have proper sd card access for all normal apps and behave like a normal sd card like all other phones i ever used? Or am i just gonna waste time trying out all this.and formatting wouldnt work?

I believe in MM and above we have to explicitly allow apps to access the external storage. check your gallery/photo app permissions and see if access to 'storage' is enabled
Update: i backed up all the data and when i formatted the card as an internal storage it extends the internal storage. Which solved the issue . But when i remove the sd card and connect it seperately some files show up and some dont. U dont know if the files is weather stored in internal or external storage which i dont care about anyways cuz im never getting the sd card out of the phone again. Lovin it

android will encrypt the sd card if you set it as internal storage and you won't be able to access the content outside the phone, so if your phone goes crazy or bricked, there's high chance that you'll lose your files forever
