I recently purchased a PNY 8GB SD card for my Moto G. All was well until yesterday when my phone decided it didn't want to recognize the SD card anymore. I tried a factory reset, but no luck. Any solutions? And yes, I am on Lollipop.
Did you try connecting the SD Card to the PC using a card reader? I mean did you try formatting the SD Card again from your PC and then using it on your phone?

Which probably means your SD card is damaged/dead. Get a replacement if warranty is still available.

At this point you have 3 options:
Use the phone without an SD Card.
OR
Buy another well known SD Card like SanDisk or Samsung and make sure it is not a fake chinese SD Card and use it.
OR
Sell the phone and buy another phone of your choice.

SD cards are so irritating. I had a nice 8 gig card and i tried to connect it to my pc to transfer a file.... Long story short, it corrupted and it screws up the phone unless u remove it..
I have a 2 gig card in there now but i cant even insert the card to format it in windows cause windows recognizes the card, but will not format it. ugh.

That could be it I've yet to have a problem with any of my SD cards, and I always unmount/safely remove hardware. Who knows, you might just have bad luck with SD cards lol

think of it this way. if the sd card is mounted there is power going to it. if you dont unmount sometimes the power can arc over the contacts. its like if you were working on your pc and decided to pull the RAM right out when the pc was on.
well that was a hard lesson i had to learn i guess.

Hi,
i'm having serious problems with the SD card on my Milestone. Let me explain :
1. If i try any generic app which tries to access the SD card, it says it's not there (Camera says "Please insert a SD card", other apps say similar warnings).And i can't use "update.zip" on recovery mode
2. Settings>SD card & phone storage says Unavailable to everything, like if the card is not mounted.
3. Recovery mode say "can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Any ideas ?
Try cleaning the gold contacts on the sd card an the sd card holder...
Also try seeing if the sd card works on an external sd card reader
Hope this helps

If it works fine in a card reader, it might be the card slot in the Milestone that might be broken.

Have you ever been brick sdcard? Also possible that so many people use android brick sdcard failed. I think the milestone card reader works fine: (
I would recommend taking your SD card, backing up the contents to your computer, and then doing a non-quick format on the SD card. There's something corrupt about the filesystem of the SD card that the phone does not like, and a format of the SD card should repair things again.

What format are you putting it in? If it is in NTFS, I believe it will not recognize it.

Hey guys, there was a long time I wasn't copying anything to my SD card, and recently tried to copy few files to the card. I plugged it with USB cable throught my Z1, I could read files, but I couldn't write to SD card anything. I thought maybe something with software got damned, so I put my card into adapter and plug it into sd card reader in my PC. I was happy coz I thought my problem has just flew away, but after my files has been moved to SD card I refreshed explorer, and there wasn't any of my file, it was like I moved files to nowhere. After that I decided to format the card, plugged it into my phone went to settings and.. my phone couldn't format the card, free space hasn't changed at all, just nothing. I switched on my pc and tried it there, same thing, after starting formatting at the end I just got error message "Windows was unable to complete the format". Anyone know what is wrong? Sorry for my grammar.
I have some Sandisc card that do the same. After checking that manual write protection is off and trying to format with other tools also beside Windows default formating tool I haven't figured out how to bring SD card back to life.

Try using another microSD Card. There is a chance that the card that you are currently using is faulty and needs replaced.

1. You need a better title for your thread. It would get you more help, and if somoneone else has the same problem it will help them search.
2. You either have a problem with the SD card reader in your phone, in which case it would be a hardware problem, or the card you're using is encrypted and can't be read on this Note 8.
