try cleaning the card's connection pins with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab if that doesn't work how old is the card and do you have an other one to determine if it is card related or device related

ok i ll try and let u know

What cluster size? Maybe the G3 is picky with that. I believe 32KB is the default.

When formatting in Windows, it will ask you the cluster size. But now that I think of it, if the phone won't even try to format the card, it likely isn't detecting that there's something in the slot at all. If you bought it from a carrier, I'd bring it in and have them look at it with another card and give you a new phone if it's the slot.

Have you tried formatting it inside the phone?

I have the exact same problem. Using a SanDisk 32GB ultra microSD card. When I insert it, it says SD Card inserted. But when I go to storage, it does not pick it up. Mount SD card and Erase SD Card are both greyed out.

if you have a 2nd sdcard try that one if that doesn't work bring yoour phone in for repairs if you don't have a 2nd card be creative and ask one of your m8es if you can borrow his one for a second

solved.
the person who sell me the phone give me another phone.
there was an contact that was broken and thats way the sd card didn t work.
thank u all

Maybe I'm wrong but need unlock rule for external sd card in androud system (Google add him in android 4.4).
There is a "fixsd" in the Google play market.

All is good now. Downloaded SD Formatter for Mac. Reformatted it, and it reads now.

Put my 64GB card from my GS3 into my G3 and everything is gone. Put it back in the G3 and nothing shows either. What happened? Did I just lose 3000 pictures and 1000+ songs?

If you put it back in your gs3 and nothing is there or you can't mount it you lost everything... That's what happened to me... I had to use a microSD recovery to recover my card... It was a *****... Hope this helps, good luck...

[Q]: how do i access the SDcard when it wont let me into the card or it shows it is unavailable?
Try to format the card in pc using an incompatible format like ntfs and then put it in the phone and then the phone should ask you if you want to format the card. If not try to go to settings and format manually.

dude. just format the sdcard using your pc in FAT16 format. you can also try fat32 but I don't know how it plays with android.
cheers!
PS: after you format it using the above method, it's good to take the sdcard out from your phone and then put it back. just to be on the safe side

well...tried FAT16 and no luck?
im getting very frustrated at the thought of a phone that doesnt even see a simple SDcard when my PC does?
Well it might be some hardware issue. The phone does not recognize that sd card is in right? Does the phone show something when you plug in the card while the phone is on?
Did you try to put in other card?

nothing shows up when putting the card into the phone while it is on, but it does state SDCARD REMOVED when pulling it out from the phone
May be the SD card have some defect. Insert some other SD card and see if the phone nose it out.

ill probably end up doing that and just buy a new sdcard but i have a feeling itll do he same thing seeing as my PC sees it just fine and my last phone used it without a glitch. Now formatting this card for this phone, ive lost 1gb of photos!
Well I just did a small test. I have formatted a spare SD card with NTFS(I used MiniTool Partition Wizard for that) and put it in the phone. It told me that the SD card is blank and not properly formatted and asked if I want to format the card.
So this is something that your phone should do too. So my conclusion is that there must be either something wrong with the card or with the phone. So hurry to try a different SD card and if it doesn't work you should ask for replacement device.

thanks everyone so very much for all your help!!!
i called Future Shop (where i purchased my device) and explained everything including your guys help to them, and they said it sounds like the devices card reader is defective. So...seeing as i just got this on Friday last week, i can exchange it for a new device at no cost.
:good:
just got back in from future shop....
seems it was the sdcard that was defective but...
after coming home, i reformatted the old sdcard back to ntfs and dropped a pic on it from my PC and it still works?? lol
for some odd reason the device just didnt see the card? maybe cuz it was generic? maybe cuz it was only 1gb? i dunno??
however...got me a new 8gb sdcard for 14.00, thatll do me just fine!!
again, thanks for all the help

I'm using aLenovo A7000 running on ressurection remix V5.5.9 in which i don't have the option to unmount my sd card.Please suggest me a way to do it and also while transferring files from my pc on my phone...i switched my phone from a mass storage device to the'charging only'option and after that my phone doesn't get recognised at all by my pc as a usb mass storage device.... And i can't even find those options anywhere in the settings and usb debugging also isn't working.Pls help me ASAP!
My 16gb SD card also does this. Before it started though, all of my music files on it became damaged, but would still play partially, then end prematurely. I think this may just be cheap ass SD manufacturing. I say just boycott SD and get the Samsung card.
Solution / Fix:
Install Wake Lock PowerManager on google play. Enable Partial_Wake_Lock then viola! No more unmounted / eject problems. The problem is everytime your mobile is in sleep mode, the unmounting error occurs.
Also install SD Card Monitor to check the counter of mounted/unmounted/ejected sdcard.
Hope this helps.

Format it using FAT32 and it will work with the S4, that's exactly what I did to get my 64GB sdcard working.

Do a google search and search for "windows fat32 format utility" and you will find a lot of free utilities
which can do that easily, all of these formatting utilities are very small files and easy to use.
Good luck!

LG G3 microSD problem

I'm not exactly sure what the issue is if it works on your other device. Stock KK is known to have EXfat issues but FAT32 should work fine.
One thing you can try is to backup your stuff somewhere (like pc), format the sd card and try it. That being said, if it doesn't fix it, it could be a kernel or hardware issue.

No.
In storage, the SD options are "shutdown"
I think I found the problem.
The small metalic pins that connect the microSD have two of them that are a bit lower than the other ones.
This must cause that the microSD is not detected.
The space is quite narrow to push them up.... how can I solve this????

Well if you recently bought it so you could just have it replaced. Otherwise, while it's not something I'd do without any experience, you could undo the back and lift them up yourself with tweezers or something like that.

Hard Reset + Internal Storage SDCard

Hi,
i have one question,
so i have one Sandisk Extreme 32GB, but my 10 after nougat is getting really hot when i use it with or when is in charge, also the battery is so bad that i want to try a Hard Reset.
My question is can the internal storage SD Card reconize the 10 even after a Hard Reset?
Thanks
Sandisk Extreme UHS-1? It'll recognize only UHS-3, i think... (i have one of 64GB UHS-3 and it works well)
Another tip is format your sdcard to EXFAT.

It's not recognized or it's deleted? Those are 2 totaly diffferent things. If your phone doesn't see your card, pull the card out, and put it back in. That should do the trick

OK. Do you have a micro SD to SD adapter? If you do, backup everything from your card to your desktop, format the card with your phone, and simply tranfer everything back after format

This is a first.... I did the procedure about 20 times, and never had that issue. Do you have another device which has a micro SD slot? Another phone maybe? Just to check if it will recognize the card

All stock.
Well, I think the other guys here didn't read your post thoroughly.
You said you are using the sd card as internal/adopted storage. This means your data are lost now.
Adopted storage can not be used anymore if you change your phone or do a factory reset. You have to format the SD card before you can use it again.
And I don't understand why you didn't save all your data on your PC before doing something like this...
