I've just bought a G3 D855 and it doesn't appear to recognize any SD card's that I insert. Don't know whether there is a knack to plugging it in but I've tried 2 now, including a brand new one. It's just not showing up in the storage as the options to mount/unmount are greyed out. Any ideas how to resolve this ?
Kind Regards
Darren

One of the cards came straight from my Z1, which worked fine. The other card is brand new, never been used.
When I received the phone yesterday it was rooted. I've now installed a stock ROM which should be a UK version. Do you, by any chance, have the link to the UK version for the 3 network, if there is one.

I would just flash the Stock UK .KDZ file from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 + http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/
Get the one called UK16G D85510A unless you have the 32GB model and also format the SDcards to Fat32 before putting them into the phone!
Format the card to Fat32. Best compatibility by far (but max filesize of course will be <4GB).

Sorry for the dumb question, but this means that no one file can b larger than 4gb correct? I just got new cards and I want to be able to back up twrp roms and such. Tia

I also use my, 64GB Fat32 formatted, card for the same purpose. No problems as the TWRP Nandroids are split into <4GB segments

You may want to test that card with h2testw to make sure it's really a 32GB. Apparently there are a lot of fakes out there...
http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2...standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/
make sure you format it to fat32, if im not mistaken the g2 should be able to format it. so try using ur phone to format it for you.
get a different brand
i got from amazon tho...im testing it on the h2testw right now.. thanks for the help!!
Hey, ive purchased a new xperia play that was delivered today.
Everything worked fine until i updated the firmware and now it does not recognise my, or any other SIM cards.
I get the error message "Please insert SIM card and restart your phone".
Done some googling, cant find much of any use.
Cheers in advance

If you still have your phone I suggest you update to the latest firmware, apparently the stock firmware had a bug that didn't read the sim and sd card firmware at the same time..
So try doing that and then do my advice from the previous post, it's worth a try

So, I stupidly upgraded my tablet to KitKat a while back and now my SD card is rendered useless. I don't want to root because I don't want it to be a brick, so what should I do now?
I bought a 16GB tablet because my plan was to save everything on my SD card....

Hi,
You don't say which model you own ??
If it is a SM-P605 you can root it with TowelRoot without problem nor risk.
Once rooted you can install SDFix from Google Play to recover the use of your external SD.

I do not have mine yet. It comes in Monday but upgrading to Kit-Katie kills the SD slot? I Know I ordered the 600 and not the 605
Hope I didn't make a mistake with this tablet

Kit-Kat has restricted the access to the External SD to Read-Only for the external app's.
The system App's can still write on it.
This can changed with the above mentionned app but it needs root.

Yes but we need to know which model: Wifi only (SM-P600) or Wifi + 3G (SM-P601) or Wifi +LTE (SM-P605)
Only the P605 can be rooted without tripping Knox.
If you dont want to root Just save your files to internal memory and move them to wherever you want on the external sd card using the stock my files app. Its not just the note. Every android tablet that runs KitKat has the same behavior.

Google/Android decided they didn't want you to write there in the new versions. However, there is a work around.
Here is one of the free apps that will change settings to allow you to write to the SD card:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
There are others. But, I think that all require you to be rooted.

Just for a lark, try Googling: KitKat SD Card.
I think you will find the change happened in ALL stock versions of KitKat It was an intentional change. However, almost all custom/modified ROMs turned this "feature" off as soon as they could.

I see that. They must not have it set in Camera settings SD Card.
Hello everyone,
I have a pretty big issue with my HTC 10 which I installed LineageOS 16 on.
Last week I got the HTC 10 from my dad because he switched to a POCO F1 because the HTC has the battery problem (fast draining, phone powers off when trying to use camera etc.).
Since I was on a LG G3 which has the common display problem I took the HTC and didn't care much about the battery.
When I got the phone it was updated to Android 8 via OTA. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, then LOS 16 (2019-02-02 build) and 9.0 gapps.
First I had no sim card because the G3 used micro SIM. Then I ordered a new one from o2 since it's free and has a 3 size adapter. When it arrived I tried to put it into my phone and was surprised that it still says no sim card.
It should work because my dad also has an o2 sim card and only one week passed since I got the phone so I don't think this is a hardware failure.
I have read something that I only can use Android 8+ ROM on 8 firmware but it was updated to 8 so it should have the 8 firmware, right?
IMEI is shown in settings too and there was something about flashing RUU to get to stock and having the 8.0 firmware.
If I really need that (which I want to avoid since I have to backup data and I have much data) can someone give me a link to Android 8 RUU?
I have a unbranded HTC 10 from Germany if that matters.
Thank you in advance,
VetrixFX

Being a custom rom with aosp base and a non standard/foreign provider, you likely need to manually set your apn.

I can't configurate my APN when the SIM card is not detected. There is no SIM card PIN prompt and it is a non-branded phone. My dad used the same provider as me with this phone but he was on Stock while I flashed it.

Oh, I see.
I would suggest going back to a stock based rom or RUU and see if it's actually working there.
Rather then relying on a custom based rom while troubleshooting it.
Could be a sudden hardware failure in the Sim slot/reader.

So here is the 2nd problem. I can't find a RUU where I am sure that is 99% compatible with my phone.
Also, I'm not real familiar with O2, but possibly the new SIM card needs to be activated...? (Pay as you go requires it, unfamiliar with other options)
I didn't see where you said if you tested the new sim in another phone. My apologies if I missed it.

I tested it in my Xperia SP and in my dad's POCO F1 and the PIN prompt comes. And the card is already activated.

Like I said, most likely the Sim card reader itself has gone bad or has lost its connection to the board.
