Have a nice day!

There is no rich memory (more specifically, as we are talking about the phone)! And often, in order to free up a little internal memory, or to transfer information from one device to another, we have to resort to the use of SD cards.

And, unfortunately, there are no less problems with them than with a lot of other storage devices (the same USB flash drives, for example).

In this article I would like to address one popular problem regarding the visibility of microSD cards in phones. Make sure there are plenty of them, and I decided to combine some of them (the most important ones) into one instruction. I think this note will be especially helpful to everyone who faces a similar problem.

Now specifically on the topic...

Programmatic pardon

Perhaps, let's start with the most obvious... Often, through various software glitches, programs can incorrectly start to read the memory card (and obviously you can’t work with it. Before speaking, in which case, What's in the Android setup? won't show up).

The first thing to do in this situation is to simply re-engage your smartphone ( Note: for this purpose it is enough to press the power button for 3-5 seconds until the submenu appears, but below).

To restart the device with a Primus (for example, through a “dead” freeze) - you need to press the power button for 10 seconds.

Before the speech, if the phone starts to freeze after connecting the memory card (it’s galmuvat, and it’s not natural to behave) - it’s a great risk that the memory card has become useless (Then she drinks, tries to deal with her, but she “doesn’t agree”...). If so, try removing the SD card and connecting it to the PC (for more detailed verification...).

How to check a memory card (microSD) on a computer (for verification)

1) Insert microSD into the SD adapter ( approx. : often included with purchase) and connect it to your computer. Please note that the microSD needs to be inserted into the adapter all the way (although this won’t work, and the card will not be readable on the PC).

If your PC does not have a card reader for reading SD cards, you can get one in any Chinese online store (it is a device the size of a regular USB flash drive) -

2) Go to “This computer” (“My computer”) - ideally, the SD card connected will appear there (as in the screen below).

If nothing happens, try opening it and marvel at how the card is formatted ( note: unformatted storage devices often do not appear in the explorer).

3) Open power this SD card.

4) At the deposit "Service" run a disk scan to check for errors (see screenshot below).

5) Verification can take up to an hour. After this is done, you will find out whether any amendments were made to the accumulators, and whether they were corrected. Butt lower.

MicroSD is not formatted (or why does the error “unable to connect SD” appear)

There are plenty of different types of such benefits (depending on the version of Android, the same brand of phone (one version is shown in the screenshot below)).

Most often, mercy appears through those who:

To fix such problems, it is enough to format the SD card in FAT 32 (* except for these exceptions, if the memory card is not connected with the device; about a few times lower in the statistics).

How to format a memory card with FAT32

Method 1 (for Windows)

1) Connect the SD card to the PC and go to . (you can press Win+E, and then when the explorer opens, select in the left menu, the div. Button below)

3) At the next step, specify the FAT32 file system and press on "Get Started" .

Important! Formatting will remove all data from storage.

4) If everything went correctly, send a notification that the formatting has been completed. You can remove microSD and connect it to your phone.

Method 2 (via special utilities)

If you can’t format it using Windows’s own methods (for example, the OS may start to freeze when you download it to storage) - I recommend trying a special one. utilities. Let's say, JetFlash Recovery Tool or SD Formatter formats data to eliminate bad and malfunctioning SD cards. I recommend trying it (I'll try to make it worse on them).

The inconsistency of the memory card with the phone

Memory cards come in one type, not only in size and type, but also in type and class. As soon as I finish the illustration, I’ll post a photo of the packaging from one of my favorite distributors: show respect for the SDXC branding.

Vlasna, knowing what type your card is, you can easily recognize it and you can use it for a phone: just open the specifications to the device (This may be included with the new device, or you can use the Internet speed. Some information can be found on the packaging).

Before speaking, very old phones can support memory cards of not all things. Take a look at the photo of the packaging of one budget Samsung phone. This point must also be clarified.

Additional!

Bad contact (for example, through oxidation of contacts, saw)

In these crazy situations (for example, they dropped the phone; they played vikor in dusty places or somewhere in the high country) It may happen that the memory card contacts will be “badly” stuck to the contacts on the phone. As a result, the device simply cannot be turned on, even if it is not connected.

I mean, which also cannot be turned off, because there is a problem with the tracks on the phone. Cleaning them, as a rule, is very difficult (there are a lot of things depending on the model of the device). In some cases it is better to contact the service.

If you can talk about those that are hardware problems with the phone:

1. You should not load 2-3 different SD cards (as is used on other devices: PC, laptop, etc.);
2. Have you verified that the SD card data is (what you connect*) All information about your device is formatted in the required file system (usually FAT 32);
3. You tried to discard the device before factory settings (), but it did not give the desired results.

The memory card has been corrupted

Most often, a memory card becomes unusable through mechanical damage (for example, when someone puts a card in a box, and then it sits or turns around). There are also frequent problems when people rush to quickly connect/unplug the SD card to the phone and forcefully press on it, “pushing” and cracking.

Now, let’s start paying attention to the new appearance of the card: it’s not at all obligatory that it will be half-wrapped (as in the photo above). It’s not the same thing, if the card has a small edge...

If you can talk about those that the SD card is corrupted* (for the reason that there are no visible traces on it):

1. you connected it to 2-3 different devices (PC, phone, laptop) and still it didn’t recognize them (it didn’t work);
2. We cleaned the copper contacts with an alcohol cleaner, but this also did not give results;
3. we tried formatting them on the PC (which often means “downloading” them to flash drives/SD cards that Windows doesn’t display);
4. You should also check the official information. website of the manufacturer of your SD card (there may be special utilities for updating).

Important!

If there were photos, videos (or other files) on the memory card, do not rush to delete them. Great places have services that professionally deal with updating data (though it’s not cheap, but still...). Possibly, they might be able to pull the cards.

Popular food

Why not load the memory card when the phone is connected to a PC - Windows (although the phone works with it and everything is OK).

Most importantly, file transfer is not allowed in Android settings (the phone will no longer charge when connected to the USB port of the computer). It was so broken because of carelessness.

How to get it: it’s so easy to go to the Android settings section "I'll build a connection" open tab "USB"і put the button on the mode "Transfer files" (Div. screen below).

The SD card is displayed in the explorer

By connecting the memory card to the computer, Windows also does not indicate: “My Computer” is empty. What to do if neither the phone nor Windows download SD?

1) Make sure that the microSD is fully inserted into the SD adapter (div. photo below). This is one of the most popular corn crops.

2) Try to launch keruvannya with disks It is possible that your memory card is simply not formatted (if your memory card is not formatted, then the explorer does not display a number of drives, and the drive axis displays both formatted and unformatted drives)

3) Check to see what your card reader is displayed on device managers (). It is possible that Windows simply does not have a driver for your device.

4) For diagnostics and updating of memory cards there is a special function. utilities (having already given the message above, once again:). It is recommended to seek help as soon as possible.

Yakshcho All the data that have been redone have not yielded any results, and your SD card should not be damaged by 2-3 devices, which have been damaged for all of them. Here you can either contact the service (to try to extract any data from it), or simply replace the card with a new one.

Having purchased a 512 GB memory card, you won’t be able to write more than 16 GB, as it is a mistake. What is it timid?

It’s easy to say in a sing-song manner (perhaps, as logical apologies), except for the high level of credibility that you spent on advertising: Chinese video manufacturers are completely dependent on the memory of their SD cards (USB flash drives). Tobto. The actual capacity of a memory card is, for example, 16 GB, but they are sold as 128 GB (let's say).

Moreover, if you connect it to a PC/phone, then you will get 128 GB, but if you try to record any data on it, you won’t be able to get more than 16 GB (real)!

Now I will tell you about the reasons why an Android phone does not load a microSD memory card and what to do in such a situation. It’s also surprising why the phone stopped using your memory card, although there were no problems with it before.

This article is suitable for all brands that release phones on Android 10/9/8/7: Samsung, HTC, Lenovo, LG, Sony, ZTE, Huawei, Meizu, Fly, Alcatel, Xiaomi, Nokia and others. We are not responsible for your actions.

Respect! You can put your favorite facts on the basis of the statistics.

Let's talk about everything in order.

Problems with the memory card

If Android does not load the memory card, then the cause of the malfunction may be on the side of the device itself or in the flash drive. Start diagnosing traces from the current accumulation. Among the most common causes of malfunctions are:

• Invalid file system (for example, NTFS or ExFat instead of Fat32). Read
• Problems with formatting, file system failures.
• The uselessness of the card and the phone does not support the volume (devices cannot handle cards with a capacity larger than 16 GB, and you install a flash drive with a capacity of 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB).
• Memory card hardware problems, physical damage to contacts.

If the card from the camera or video recorder is not readable when installed in the phone, then we first need to check to ensure that the phone supports this format and service.

The problem of inconsistency can be corrected simply by replacing the accumulator with a reliable one. It is much easier to apply for permissions from a file system (or an incorrectly configured file system). After formatting, the card is valid without restarting other active actions:

At the time of formatting, all data from the memory card will be deleted. It is important to save them to your computer before clearing the storage device, and after changing the file system, transfer them to the card.

Problems with the phone

Since the memory card is compatible with the phone, the file system is in a format that is suitable for Android, there are no hardware problems, then there is no reason to play around with the smartphone. If the smartphone does not drain the flash drive installed from another smartphone, but the computer does not drain, the following factors can be used:

• Incorrectly installed accumulator.
• The memory card slot is damaged/obstructed.
• Software glitch in Android robot.

Try removing the memory card and reinserting it again, checking the slot status. If you suspect that the contacts are clogged, clean them using a sponge or a hair cleaner. Although cleaning does not help, it is possible that the contacts have come loose or damaged. Repairing them on your own is problematic, requiring you to replace the component.

If you use a USB flash drive for Recovery devices, Android does not load the SD card in the add-ons, but it shows that you are taking the place, then the cause of the problem can be found in the system. If the damage has occurred through a systemic problem, correcting it will help re-establish the device.

Another solution is to reinstall problematic programs or transfer them from internal memory to microSD. What to do for someone:

1. Open up the adjustment.
2. Go to the “Programs” section.
3. Select the program causing the problem.
4. Click “Move to SD card”.

If problems with the external storage device arose after flashing the firmware of the device, then reflash it again using the official Android build from the driver. You can get by with a less radical method and simply reset the settings through the Android interface or Recovery Menu.

To enter the Recovery Menu, turn off the phone, and then press the volume key and the life button (other options may vary depending on your specific smartphone model). The update menu no longer has physical keys. To use the density calculator, go to the Wipe cache partition item and press the live button to select the option.

The drop will be completed only after re-purchase. Make sure the battery is fully charged and do not perform any actions that may damage the system files.

The phone stopped reading the memory card after an hour

If you have converted so that the memory card works correctly on another phone or computer, then the most common reasons for the lack of visibility are:

• The memory card does not fit closely to the contact group. Edit it in the slot.
• Problems with phone security software. Try resetting it or resetting it to factory settings.
• There are a lot of problems with the microSD memory chip. Most often it is caught from low-volume species.
• The phone was suddenly damaged (it hit the vologger and was hit otherwise).
• One of the phone's modules (usually the screen module) has been replaced.
• Other reasons. Try going to a specialized smartphone repair shop in your locality.

To increase the memory of a smartphone or tablet, use Micro-SD. This allows you to save more multimedia files and programs on the device. Otherwise, the SD card is no longer connected or the SD card has been corrupted for a long time and is no longer recognized by the operating system. Let's figure out why Android doesn't remove the memory card and what to do to resolve the problem.

File system is not supported

Since computers everywhere use the NTFS file system, On mobile devices, FAT32 is installed. It is noteworthy that you will not be able to save a file larger than 4 GB.

In this case, it will be possible to change the file system of the memory card to make it compatible with the smartphone. Trace the process All data on accumulators will be deleted. Yak vipravity:

• Transfer the information to the internal storage device (as its capacity allows) or connect the SD card to the computer via a card reader and make a copy to the hard drive.
• Viconati format.
• Instructions for the mobile device:
  • Click on the notification about the problem or open the settings and go to the “Device and USB storage devices” section.
  • Select the item "SD card", then "Adjust".
  • Select the type of storage device: portable - transfers virtual cards, including transferring files between a PC and a smartphone; Internal memory – transfers saved data to the mobile device, which allows you to install programs on an external storage device.
  • Press “Next” to check the completion of the procedure.
• Instructions for the computer:
  

After fixing this Android problem, you won't be able to remove the memory card.

In addition, we will look at the possibility of formatting through .

Regain respect

This option is suitable because the memory card is not recognized in the operating system of the device, and it is not possible to connect it to a computer (daily card reader).

For the Viconnian procedure it is necessary:

Polite nobles

This procedure transfers the reduction of all data on the memory card and resizes it in FAT32 format.

Unsupportive obligations of the hoarder

The technical characteristics of the skin mobile device indicate the maximum capacity of memory cards that is supported. If a large memory is connected, the phone may simply not read it.

Today's smartphones can easily cope with storage capacity of 128 GB and 256 GB, but earlier models may face more severe limitations. Next, open the specifications of the device and look at the information behind this display.

The type of memory card also plays an important role: Micro SD, SDHC, SDXC.

SD card failure

Android may not read the memory card after it was damaged to a rough mechanical leak. For example, they could have stepped on it and spilled water. The memory is not visible on other smartphones or when connected to a PC. The possibility of getting out of trouble on your own is also not turned off.

What's the point of being afraid? If your purchase is still under warranty and shows no signs of damage, please contact the store for warranty. Repair or replacement will be carried out. If you notice the damage, then the right decision would be to buy a new savings account. Repairs for most breakdowns are difficult or very expensive.

Regain respect

You should not turn off the possibility of purchasing a fragmented memory card: it must be replaced by special programs and more will be displayed, less than that. This kind of fraud leads to numerous failures in the work and a smooth outcome. This problem is especially relevant when purchasing through Chinese online stores.

Problems with the mobile device

If there are problems with your phone, look at the rest of the book, since most often the problem lies in the memory card. If previous recommendations did not give a positive result, it is necessary to pay attention to the following factors:

• Correct installation. The memory card is removed from the slot and reinserted to ensure it is in the correct position in relation to the smartphone contacts. The correct position of the accumulator is marked on the body, in which it is necessary to carry out this connection.

I'm flying.

Today, one of the most popular types of media is a flash drive. And no matter what, a hundred years of CD/DVD discs are reaching their end. Moreover, the price of one flash drive is 3-4 times higher than the price of a DVD disc! The truth is, one little thing - the disk is much more foldable than a flash drive.

At least not often, but with flash drives there is one unpleasant situation: you take out the microSD flash card from your phone or camera, insert it into your computer or laptop, and it doesn’t load. There could be a lot of reasons for this: viruses, software programs, flash drives going out of order, etc. At this point, I would like to comment on the most popular reasons for invisibility, and also give actions and recommendations for how to work in such situations.

See the flash cards. Is the SD card supported by your card reader?

Here I would like to make a report. Many people often confuse one type of memory card with another. On the right, there are three types of SD flash cards: microSD, miniSD, SD.

Why did the virobniks collect so much?

Just a variety of devices: for example, a small audio player (or a small mobile phone) and, for example, a camera or a camera. Tobto. The devices are completely different in size with different capabilities to the speed of operation of flash cards and the availability of information. For which there are a number of types of flash drives. Now more details about the skin of them.

1. microSD

Size: 11mm x 15mm.

MicroSD flash cards are even more popular for portable devices: players, phones, tablets. Using microSD, the memory of these devices can be increased by an order of magnitude!

Please note that when purchasing, they will come with a small adapter so that this flash drive can be connected instead of an SD card (more about them below). Before speaking, for example, to connect this flash drive to a laptop, you need to: insert a microSD into the adapter, and then insert the adapter into the SD slot on the front/side panel of the laptop.

2.miniSD

Size: 21.5mm x 20mm.

Whenever popular cards are used in portable technology. These days, people are becoming more and more popular, chiefly due to the popularity of the microSD format.

3.SD

Size: 32mm x 24mm.

Flash cards: sdhc and sdxc.

It is important for data cards to be used in devices where a great deal of memory + high speed is required. For example, a video camera, a video recorder in a car, a camera, etc. SD cards are divided into several generations:

1. SD 1 - sizes from 8 MB to 2 GB;
2. SD 1.1 – up to 4 GB;
3. SDHC – up to 32 GB;
4. SDXC – up to 2 TB.

Very important points when working with SD cards!

1) In addition to the memory capacity, on SD cards the speed (more precisely, the class) is indicated. For example, in the screenshots, the card’s class is “10” - which means that the transfer speed with such a card is no less than 10 MB/s (more details about classes: https://ua.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital). It is important to express your respect for the class of fast flash cards required for your device!

2) microSD with additional specials. Adapters (written on them as adapter (amazing screenshots above)) can be used instead of primary SD cards. However, it is not recommended to work first and foremost (just because of the fluidity of information exchange).

3) SD card reading devices may have a negative effect: then. If you take a device that reads SDHC, it will read SD cards 1 and 1.1 generation, but cannot read SDXC. It is important for you to show respect for those cards that can be read by your device.

Before speaking, many “old” laptops have built-in card readers, which are not able to read new types of SDHC flash cards. The solution in this case is simple: buy a card reader that connects to the original USB port, or rather the original flash drive. Price of food: several hundred carbovants.

SDXC card reader. Connects to a USB 3.0 port.

However, the new drive letter is the reason for the invisibility of flash drives, hard drives, and memory cards!

On the right, if your hard drive has a drive letter of F: (for example) and your inserted flash card has the same F:, then the flash card will not be displayed in the explorer. Tobto. You go to “my computer” - and you won’t lose the flash drive there!

To correct this, you need to go to the disk control panel. How can you earn money?

Windows 8: press Win+X, select “Keruvannya disks”.

Windows 7/8: press Win+R, enter the command “diskmgmt.msc”.

Next, you must open a window in which all connected disks, flash drives, etc. will be shown. Moreover, the displays will be sent to those devices that are not formatted and that are not visible on “my computer.” If your memory card will be in this list, you will need to create two speeches:

1. Change its disk letter to a unique one (to do this, simply right-click on the flash drive in the context menu and select the operation of changing the letter, see the screenshot below);

2. Format the flash card (if you have a new one, there is no necessary data on it. Please note, the formatting operation will remove all data on the flash card).

Change the drive letter. Windows 8

The availability of drivers is a popular reason not to load an SD card on your computer!

If your computer/laptop is completely new and you just brought it from the store yesterday, this does not guarantee anything. On the other hand, store sellers (or their specialists who prepare goods before sale) could simply forget to install the required drivers, or simply fail. After all, you were given disks (or copied to your hard drive) with all the drivers and you just need to install them.

Yes, there are special programs that can scan your computer (more precisely, all your devices) and find the latest drivers for each device. I have already written about such utilities in previous posts. Here I will give just 2 points:

1. Driver update programs: ;
2. Search for driver updates:

Connecting an SD card via USB to any additional device

Since the computer does not empty the SD card itself, why can’t you try inserting the SD card into any device (for example, a phone, a camera, etc.) and then connect it to the PC? To be honest, I rarely remove a flash card from devices, freely copy photos and videos from them, and connect them to a laptop via a USB cable.

What special programs are required to connect your phone to a PC?

New operating systems, such as Windows 7, 8, with a lot of devices, can be used without additional software. Installation of drivers and configuration of the device is carried out automatically when the device is first connected to the USB port.

For a leather phone/camera, there are utilities recommended by the manufacturer (div. on the manufacturer’s website).

1. Try to connect the card to another computer and check whether it recognizes it and change it;

2. Check your computer for viruses (). Rarely, certain types of viruses are also caught that block access to disks (Screen and flash drives).

That's all for today, good luck to everyone!

To do this, you need to remove the storage device from the connector and insert it into another phone or laptop using a special adapter. If the computer is not able to open the flash drive automatically, you will need to search for it manually in the explorer section “Notable items”. Tell me how phone do not recharge card, then you shouldn’t get into trouble, as you may end up with missing drivers or incorrect formatting. It is necessary to repeat the operation several times, if it is not detected by the same device, you can make a report about its failure.

Once the flash drive is found, try to open it and run the files. If they are displayed correctly, then the problem is not in the card, otherwise the folders with the locations may end up being damaged by the file system or the attached file.

It is necessary to follow the current sequence of actions:

1. 1. Copy the entire capacity of the SD card to a local folder on your computer.
   2. Press the right mouse button onto the flash drive label and select the “Format” item in the menu.
   3. Confirm the operation with the “Start” button; there is no need to make any further changes to the standard parameters.

Hardware problems

Whenever possible, the memory card must be reinserted into the slot, otherwise it will be pressed against the ground, causing contact to be lost. If this does not help, you need to try inserting another flash drive. If the phone does not drain the memory card in this case, then the problem lies in the socket itself, it is possible that some liquid has been spilled or the contacts have become dirty, then carefully wipe them with a sponge. Another reason could be the characteristics of the slot itself - older or even cheaper smartphones cannot handle large SD cards (32 GB or higher). Unfortunately, it’s not possible to correct this.

Most of the overhauled methods did not help solve the problem, unless Android resets the memory card, then go to the service center for help.
