or your phone's sd reader chip thingy is broken somehow? if your pc can detect it, but your phone cant, it is mostly related to be more a phone problem than a sd card one.
backup all of your data on your sd to your pc, and than format it.
put it in your phone again, and if it still doesn't connect, there might be a problem

[Q] HTC Desire HD Cannot Mount SD CARD

Yo Bro,
Need your help. So just yesterday night i downloaded a music from an apps.
all of sudden the memory card just removed ( in-terms of unmounted itself) where i didn't physically remove it by myself.
I experienced this problem before and found a solution to recover but i just cant find that link back
So , I was hoping you guys could help me out a little hope for me to recover them.
The SD Card run as 8gb itself.
Things i've tried;
1)Factory Reset
2)Physically remove the sd card by myself and insert back in
3)Restarted the smartphone right after the problem occur
4)Reset my battery
5)Trying to get into my PC by using Disk Drive mode but doesn't shown at HTC screen.
From what i think;
I dont think my memory card have any problem so far or maybe memory full because of it ?
btw , will 16GB memory card compatible with HTC Desire HD ?

1.Try wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery. Sometime my old DHD sdcard have same problem.
2. Yes, 16GB memory card compatible with DHD. My sdcard is Sandisk Extreme Pro 32 GB. And it run perfect.:fingers-crossed:

Hey guys.
I have an issue with the SD card as well. Actually, the phone doesn't detect SDcard at all, even in recovery.
I've tried mounting USB storage in 4ext, can't do that, can't partition it, format it, anything. The SD card works ok in card reader and camera, so I guess it's an issue in the phone?
This happened after I opened my phone to clean it out. It isn't the first time I'm doing this, but nothing ever went wrong.
It's confusing to me, because I didn't even touch anything around the SD card slot, just removed the back panel, cleaned the upper part of the phone where the speaker is and that's it, I didn't even take the entire motherboard out, no need for that.
Does anyone have any clue how could I fix this?

To be sure, check in memory card reader.
SD-cards don't have unlimited lifetime, but this is too soon tho.

[Q] Downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat problems....

Hi all.... I have a bit of a problem.... I want to downgrade back to KitKat from Lollipop.... but the external sdcard and the internal storage is no longer seen by the phone or CWM.....
I did reconfigure the memory (as per instructions) structure and was using the memory card as the storage but this card failed ... so instead of destroying another card I decided to go back....
I managed to flash the L18i ftf... the phone will work now but says no storage and wont aknolege the external SDcard
Large appologies if there is a thread somewhere else but I have been searching for a few nights and come up empty handed....
Thanks for any help...

Zenfone 2 Storage problem - what to do ? :(

Hello,
Im experiencing really weird problem that never happened to me and now Im trying to find a solution but I cant find anything and I dont really want to format my phone because it would solve this problem only for some time.
The problem Im experiencing is regarding to my storage / sd card.. when I install any app it will make folder on my phone storage and not on SD Card even tho I selected to install apps on my SD Card. Another problem is that when I try to move that file that is placed in my phone storage to my SD Card then it wont clear any space from phone storage but the file is gone - and then when I run the app it says that I need to download additional datas and when I press download data it just say that my storage is full and I got 45gb free SD card and almost full phone memory even when I moved 1,5GB file to sd card .. I really dont know what to do..
Im also adding screenshot of my used space where you can clearly see that my apps on phone memory got 4GB and other files got around few hundred mbs but my free space is ONLY 500 MB and graph showing I should have around 6GB of free space..
Thanks for any help
EDIT: Im not rooted and running latest stock ROM

What app are you trying to delete the files in? Doesn't it have trash or something?

It doesnt matter what application Im trying to move (Im not uninstalling them or deleting) its happening to every app.

Anyone please?

i got this concern too. i want to install large games with obb files, but even if i transfer manually the obb files to ext sd/android/obb folder the game always says "download additional files" . in short the game can't find or locate the obb file due to some limitation on ext card permissions to read and write. im not sure on other devices. but i do believe thats how default android system is. :crying:
Correct me if im wrong but i guess the only solution here is to root our zf2 and install folder mount . forgive me for my first post. newbie here
Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML
2GB Ram 16GB Rom
Asus 2.20.40.160
Not Rooted

If you are root, try to install this

well.. first of all u must know this fact that there are only few apps are present which can install on sd cards.. 90% of apps are developed to install on internal storage, if u will move them to sd card, they will not run.. and copying appdata files directly frm file explorer never solves this problem.. it will eat ur double space only.. there is specific way of doing this.. but only for those which supports installlation on sd card.
now ur problem of space, just clean ur junkfiles.. use xplore file explorer, enable 'show hidden files' and check one by one that which folder and file is eating ur storage.
if it doesnt work.. only last option is hard reset from stock recovery.

What is the main difference between internal storage and sd card? I dont get it why it shouldnt also work from the sd card.. and I was told by others that if I root my phone and download specific app / change settings I will be able to install to my sd card too. I was also normally installing my stuff on sd card when I had previous phone with 4.2 Android. With all these things I really shouldnt buy 128gb card that cost me 40€ because there is 95% of free space and I cant move anything (applications) to it.

yeah.. during 4.4 time.. apps were sd card freindly, but nowdays its rare.. bcoz every app developer is in race of superiority.. internal sd gives better r/w speed, and its not removable so that app can run 24/7 on your device.. dats y they make apps to install on sd.
dont get dissappointed.. your problem is solved in andoid 6.0 marshmellow, it gives u option of using external sd card as phone's internal storage. as soon as u insert the sd card.. it will ask you that how to use it.. as a portable storage or as a internal storage..
So plz go get buy 128 gb ssd.

your phone may be full of junks.. plz make backup of your important data.. hard reset it.. hard reset is required evry 3-4 months. just do it.. it wil solve ur problem.. other wise if u are rooted then get the root explorer and delete the un necessary files from root.

Oh thats great that Android 6 will make my sd card work again. But now there is that issue that Asus is working so slowly on Android 6 :<

is there a "trash" folder? every time i delete things, they disappear, but the space doesnt free up. i also have the same problem as the original poster: my apps and all files only take up about 6.5 Gb, but my free space is only 800Mb out of 11.5Gb...i downloaded "diskusage" and it shows 4.9Gb of "system files" but i cant find them using my file manager or storage screen (this is in addition to the 4.6 Gb of "system reserved" space)
I tried to show hidden files and found a ".trash" folder, but there isnt anything in it

use ES file explorer , it has a feature to find all junk. Also ZF2 is not deleting files from gallery , it stores them in .trash. Check that too.

pc doesnt recognize the micro sd memory card on my phone.

Three possibilities:
- Your Nougat has formatted everything as internal.
- The card is formatted with a file format that Nougat doesn't recognize - will require a reformat with a file format it recognizes.
- Your SD card is corrupted - reformat it and see if it is recognized then.

thank you

Thx for the reply.
1. I allready formatted the card and it didnt change anything.
2. If the issue is the file format that nugat didt rocognized, is there any way to reformat it with another file format so nugat will recognize it?
3. I do have to mention that, when connect to the pc, the only option that showes the phone is the" upload pictures" but not the " upload files".
4. if there is no solution, nugat will recognize a new sdd card?
Any idea what to next?
Thank you again!

When you bought your phone what was the original GB size for the model and what size was your SD card?
Do your setting in Nougat reflect just the original phone GB's or does it reflect the combined size of the phone's GB size + the SD card size? If so your SD card has been formatted as internal in Nougat and you will have to google the fix to get the SD card treated as external storage.
If not, google what formats Nougat recognizes and format accordingly.
If that fails, try a new SD card ...

by the way - i tried an older sd card on this phone and the phone didnt recognized it also..
i just wanted to be realy clear about it: when connecting the usb to the pc on:"transfer pictures" the pc shows only the internal memory of the phone. when changing to:"file transfer" it doesn't show the phone at all.

- prefix your search with XDA and be specific "XDA - Nougat formatting SD card as internal" or some such. I do not have Nougat so can't help you there - I've seen the issue mentioned before so if you put garbage in your search you will get either garbage or nothing relevant back ... learn to troubleshoot, it will pay future dividends in this arena.
