Hello all, I cannot find where is the setting to Encrypt my MicroSD card data (photos and vids mostly) on the Android 9 Pie on the Nokia 7 Plus.
I bought a new and very expensive 256GB MicroSDXC card to store my stuff.
Thank you.

Type encrypt into settings search
I cannot check it because I don't have the MicroSD card yet. Are you sure such an option exists? Because if it does't exist I may cancel my order and find another solution...
May be when the card is not inserted, the option is hidden??

OK, I inserted my MicroSD card into my phone, its working fine, BUT I cannot Encrypt it! I cannot find such an option in the settings!
And I watched video on youtube a guy found the setting in the Settings but I cannot find it!
I want to encrypt my SD card so that if I lose my phone or it gets stolen my photos cannot be recovered!!!
Hi
If you format your memory card for internal use, it should encrypt it for use only on your particular phone (this should encrypt it to match the internal storage on your phone). Should your phone get formatted, you will also lose access to the card.
Data lost and not showing in SD card - Nokia 5 Android 9
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

Hi can someone tell me if my note 4 already comes w SD card? I'm out of storage all of a sudden and not sure what or if or what kind of card to buy. Will this mame the phone faster. So slow lately.
Also, if I do buy one not sure size, brand, etc.
Thanks guys
No, the note 4 does not come with an external SD card. It has 32gb of internal storage and if you filled that up then you will have to buy an external SD card. Just buy either a 16 or 32 or hell even a 64gb SD card....brand wise I guess San disk that's what mine is and I've never had issues with any of mine.
The Note 4 supports SD cards. You'd have to buy one that suites your needs.
On another note, have you tried clearing your cache? Checking out what is taking up all your memory? Might want to check these first.
Note for does support SD card. I have a 128gb SD card on my note 4 that works like a charm.

Samsung is known to have problem with sandisk cards. For peace of mind stay with samsung brand of sd cards. Putting card in phone wont solve your problem instantly. You will need to do some work first. Move all your pictures, videos and music to sd card to offload internal storage. Use aplication manager and move some of yours apps to sd card. Setup your canera aplication to use sd card while taking pictures. Use Smart Manager to clean unnecessary files.

Hi everyone,
I own a Moto G 2nd LTE updated to Marshmallow. I mounted on the device a 64GB Class 10 QUMOX micro SDXC card and I adopted it as internal memory. Anything worked great until some days ago. The device says that the SD card was removed. Obviously isn't real, so after some tests the sd results fault. It works good for 30-60 minutes inserted on the device until the error message comes. So I bought a 64GB Class 10 Samsung EVO+ micro SDXC card to replace it. Now the problem is, how can I FULLY BACKUP all the files on the sd? Not just photos, music etc.. files that I can see on the pc, but all the encrypted data and application on it. How can I fully clone the sd?
Thanks in advance
Here's the story and info.
I got the Blu R1 HD (prime special) went down to Target and bought thier DANE 64GB CL10 MicroSD for $20. Plugged it in and formatted it as internal storage. (A cautionary not then said, "if formatted as internal memory SD card will ONLY work in this device) I chose, who cares and continued.
Worked great for a day or two ... but then it happened ... it went missing! All the apps and data was gone. A notification popped up and said, "Transcendent SD card missing. reinsert this device". I did as the all knowing phone asked but to no avail, it wouldn't recognize it.
I rebooted the phone and a massage popped up saying "system properties not responding. Wait or Quit" I've tried both options, doesn't seem to make a difference.
I tried reformatting it in the phone and it wouldn't unmount. Tried on our computers (both pc and Mac) and neither computers were allowed access to the sd card to reformat it.
I then returned the sd card thinking that it might be flawed, got another one from Target and it worked great ... for about two weeks... Then went missing.
Did everything mentioned above. Got the new one and it worked for 4 weeks, thought my problems were over ... then the SD card ran away again and is now currently missing. The phone does not recognize that there is a sd card when looking for it in a file explorer. In settings it says the sd card is corrupted.
Is my phone messed up? I'd it the brand of SD card? Is there a way to make the phone recognize the sd card?
Please help me find my missing sd card.
Same problem, SD Card is showing as corrupted. I have it installed as internal storage and have for over a month with no problems. SD is a Patriot LX 64gb. I haven't changed anything on the phone. I have not fine anything but reseat the SD. Any help is massively appreciated!
Maybe the problem is using a 64GB MicroSD Card. The phone specs say it's supports up to 32GB only.

That is incorrect it supports 64GB SD, many report success with 128GB cards, so I doubt its an issue with size...

Is good to know I'm not the only one!
Have you been able to reformat the sd card? Or will it not allow you to do so?

Okay I caved and tried to reformat it, and all it does is fail, or drops off half-way as though I had removed the card. If I try to put the card in my computer or any other device it just straight doesn't exist, doesn't even say it isn't compatible or anything, just straight doesn't exist. Think the card is just bad, gonna return it and get a new one, will see what happens.
I have had a SANDISK Micro SDXC UHS-1 64GB CARD in mine for almost 5 months now and no issues.
I see I'm not the only one with this issue, although mine is a little different... I got a generic 128gb card and plugged it in, has been issue free for months... BUT, lately and for what seems like no apparent reason, the card guess missing... Rebooting the phone sees the card again with all apps and photos intact. It could be weeks/days/hours/minutes before it happens again... Shortest turn around - about 10 minutes. Longest - about 2 weeks... Haven't tried plugging the card directly into my computer yet, but when it is mounted on the phone it works fine (until it goes missing). Thought maybe it was because it was a cheap card...
Hello,
I have a Moto G6 Play.
I was using a Lexar 128GB micro SD but the SD card does not work anymore so I bought a Verbatim 256GB micro SD card.
The Verbatim card is recognized and formated by my phone with its full capacity but if I copy my MP3 library on it, only the half of the library is usable.
I have tried to format and copy in differents ways (on my phone, on a PC) but the problem is the same.
Afterwards, I saw on the Motorola website that the maximum capacity of a SD card that works with the Moto G6 Play is 128 GB.
My question :
Is there a way to make the 256GB micro SD card to work on the Moto G6 Play?
Thanks for your help!

Have you tried splitting it into multiple partitions?
I am currently using a SanDisk 256gb MicroSD card in my Motorola G6 (non play) with no issues.
Where did you get this "verbatim" MicroSD card from? I know there are a ton of counterfeit SD cards out there right now. I know there is a fake 512gb Verbatim going around from places like Wish too. When the price is to good to be true, it's because it is. If you paid under $40, it's probably bunk. They will appear to have their stated storage, even when plugged into a PC. What they do is delete stuff to make room for the new in a cycle.
+1 here for using a 256GB card, in my case it's a Samsung Evo+ card in the "standard" G6. No partitions or funny business required, I just removed it from my Samsung Galaxy S8 that I was retiring and put it into the G6 where it's working from the get-go.
I am posting this here because I too was curious about this before I bought my G6 and was seeing conflicting advice. Personally I would agree that any issues with the 256GB card is probably down to a defective or counterfeit card.
Every model of the G6 should support sdcards over 256gb. If formatted as external storage the G6 series uses exfat, which has a volume size limit of 128 petabytes. They don't even make cards that big... yet. If formatted as internal storage I forget which it is, but it uses either f2fs which has a limit of 16TB, or ext4 which has a limit of 1 exbibyte. If you really wanted to throw a 1TB card in there, you could.

Does the phone actually let you use all 256gb?

Yes, it does - apart from the obvious formatting overheads and rounding inherent to media such as this.
+1 for card being fake 256GB, I use Samsung Evo 256GB with no issues
When all else fails, be sure to use the SD Card Formatter released by the SD Association. It is the de facto standard for low-level SD memory card re-formatting.
I suggest to use Minitool Partition Wizard --> initialize SD card to MBR (by right - click on the appropriate drive) --> close MPW --> Reboot System --> Open SD Card Formatter --> full format (check the box) SD Card. This will restore and optimize blocak-size, fs-formatting and partition configuration to get the best performance. The above process also will reveal the actual size of the card.
Note: Powering of the system, disconnecting any batteries, and removing the card prior to performing above process is ideal as hardware and software can fall into non-typical states in the course of operation.
Warning: A fake card may brick by performing these process' but then again it was going to be useless anyway.
Greetings!
I purchased a new SD card from SanDisk with 400GB.(didn't use my old one on this phone because of low storage size)
My problem is that i'm unable to copy/move/delete files to my SD card.
I can't even create a new folder.
I tried several explorers and activated the permissions for writing but no success.
I was also trying another SD card but the same problem.
If I format the card over my phone as internal storage the phone freezes, formatting as external storage is working though.
I also formatted the card on my PC but still the same issue.
Remounting the card in the settings sometimes works for a few seconds.(creating a folder,etc..)
My razer phone 2 has the newest FW with Android 9.

Heya buddy,
Just a quick enquiry, from where did you purchase your MICROSD? it sounds like you may have a fake card, the memory size is worrying indication, normally cards are sold in denominations of 32, 64, 128, 512,GB not 400 GB. Have you run a check to see if it's reporting the correct capacity size on a SD card checker. Sounds like it's a fake and when it tries to format, it goes into a loop state and crashes as the card is formatted over and over and over trying to reach the stated size but never reaches it due to it not being 400gb in size.
Sorry to spread the bad news, have had the same happen to me, I am so dam careful over which company I buy my cards from.
Let me know if I can help.
Yours

Phone says it has 393GB.
I bought it on amazon. Its a SanDisk Ultra 400GB that also appears on the official homepage. I'm pretty sure its not a fake.

Ok, that clears up the possibility of it being fake good good..
..hmmmmm. Do you have any old phones at your disposal that have a card slot? If so,. Try it in those and see if you can access it and read/write/modify files on it. Maybe format it with another device and then stick it in the razer and see if it works.
I'm sure now that cards a real deal as Amazon don't seem to allow frauds to be sold the only other thing I can think of is that it's a faulty card, it happens, they are just mass produced. Maybe a replacement if it's dudd.
I am having an SD card issue as well. I have had my Razer Phone 2 since last Monday brand new from Ebay. I purchased a Samsung 128GB class 10 (u3) SD card for it from Amazon. If I format the SD card as "internal", it shows that there is 131GB's of system files on my SD card. It shows I'm using 131GB's of storage from a total of 320GB's. The Razer Phone 2 has 64GB;s plus my 128GB SD card which would be 192GB;s total. I have tried many file manager apps, move to SD apps, etc and I cannot transfer any files. When I format the 128GB SD card as "portable", it shows the correct amount of storage space in both the phone and the card but once again I cannot transfer any files to the card. I have tried a 16GB SD card as well. The phone did recognize it and read the available storage on the phone and the card correctly. I did not format that card as I have music, photos and documents on it. I did try to transfer an app from my phone to the 16GB card and once again I could not do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance and take care.
I have had similar problems with my Razer2. It ruined a 512g scandisk brand microsd card. Copying, or moving files, is a real problem for this device! It hangs up sometimes and ruins the files. Never had these issues, this bad, with any other phone
I have a bunch of music on my SD card, my music app sees some of them. If I move the whole folder to my phone storage, music app sees all. If I boot to twrp (per arters kernel) and try to backup to external SD card, it fails. If I save it to the phone, works fine. It's like it doesn't constantly see the SD card slot properly.
Exfat is needed with art kernel. Stock formats as vfat a old file system. I have a 400gb exfat formatted and works perfectly
I'll have to look into getting that kernal
