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...
My external sd did that to me yesterday, had to format it on pc

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.

Hey,
I backed up my whole system via CWM to my SD card while I was trying a new ROM out. When I went to restore there were no back-ups found? I checked my phone memory as well as my SD card and found absolutely nothing. Thee is also another thing, when I move music to my SD card it won't play but when I move it to the internal memory it play fine?
Is my SD card faulty at all? Would a reformat sort it out?
Edit: Also when I take a picture, the picture will be unsupported format and I can't view it on my computer either?

when you are in settings those it shows that the sd card is mounted? have you tried the sd card on a computer? if the info you had in the sd card doesn´t shows up then you should try formatting the card.

It did show the SD card was mounted and that it was fine. Whenever I put data on it (music, photos, apks etc etc) they would just either get deleted, corrupted or not work at all.....
I have reformatted my SD card and it is working fine for now...
try using a different card, for example my note 2 did not accept 32 gigabytes SanDisk, I had to buy kingston 32gb class 10
The title pretty much says it all.
My wife has a Galaxy S5 with 16GB internal memory. When I put a 128GB miroSDHX card in it, the phone says the SD card is blank and refuses to mount it.
If I go into Settings>Storage, the only option under SD Card is Mount SD Card. If I tap that, it asks if I want to format the SD Card, If I tap that, I get a message like "preparing SD card" and a couple of seconds later, there is a notification in the title bar of the phone saying either "Blank SD Card" or "Damaged SD Card".
Smaller cards are mounted automatically.
The 128GB card is read just fine by a PC.
Is there something I am missing in getting the phone to recognize the large SD card?

According to gsmarena, the answer is Yes.
Memory
Card slot: microSD, up to 128 GB
Internal: 16/32 GB, 2 GB RAM

Yes.
It just sounds like your card isn't formatted properly. Probably an unrecognized or corrupt filesystem. Or less likely, out of spec or damaged card. Unfortunately you didn't give any details as to the card model or verbatim error messages so we have nothing to go on.
The card should be formatted as FAT32, not NTFS or exFAT. Try formatting the card as FAT32 on your PC. Mount it on your phone, then reformat again it from the phone Settings menu. If you have ongoing difficulties, check the card for corruption with the chkdsk utility.

I will try formatting on my PC as FAT32, then.
There is no model number on the SD card or its packaging. Just SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-1. 128GB. Speed up to 48MB/s** 320X.
No error messages, either. Just what I quoted from the notifications bar about "Blank SD Card". And in Settings>Storage, there is just one entry for the SD Card: Mount SD Card. Tapping that launches a couple of quick notifications about the SD Card being prepared. Then the notification that the SD Card is blank.
If I pull down the notification bar and tap the Blank SD Card notification, I get a popup to format the card, with OK, Cancel, and a warning that all data will be erased. Tapping OK yields another quick notification about the SD Card being prepared and that is all. And the Blank SD Card notification returns.
*Edit* Just noticed that the PC reports the file system as exFAT. But my PC (Win 8 Pro) offers only exFAT and NTFS as format options.
..
Exfat should work no problem, I've got 64 GB class 10 that's formatted exfat and I've never had issues

Gave up on the 128GB.
A Samsung rep said that the problem was that I was using a Sandisk card and they are problematic with Samsung phones.
So I got a Samsung 64GB Class 10 card.
Same results. The phone reports that the card is blank or has an invalid filesystem. Tried to format on the phone. But no joy. The Samsung card is exfat.
So your phone might have problem with the card reader.

Reader itself is fine. Can mount a 16GB card, FAT32 (aha!).
Went to a VZW store last night.
They could not get the 64 or 128 card to mount. One of them had a Galaxy S5 and the 64 mounted on his phone, no problems whatsoever.
I had him format the card on his phone and tried it again on ours. Same story.
So, after a half hour on hold, I spoke with someone in VZW tech support who at first was adamant that the problem was with the card. I pointed out that the odds of getting two defective cards are extremely small. And asked if the card is defected, how did the card mount in the employee's phone?
His "solution": Factory reset and if the card still does not mount, call tech support back.
Wife said she is tired of the jerkaround.
She will use the 16GB FAT32 card.
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, for some reason, whenever i try to move an app to sd card i would get a message " not enough storage space" even though i have 120gb. How do i fix it so i can move stuff to my sd card?
