How to format SD card - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello...
i go to Settings -> Storage... and i unmount de sd card.
Then it activates the option to delete sd card. It isnt any option called format SD or something like that.
I have backup all my files to my pc hard drive ( cut & paste). So my sd card is empty. To delete the sd card ( 8 gb capacity) it takes 2-3 seconds.
Its that ok ?
Would you recommend me to format the sd card ? If so how ?
Thanks in advance

It's ok to format your card. Try to put it into an adapter an connect that to your pc, and format it from Windows (FAT32 is ok).
After that it should function as new....!
Good luck, greetz,

connect your phone with the usb to the computer. Mount the SD card and after that you should see your SD drive in the computer (under my computer). Right click on the icon of the SD drive and then click format and click quick format.

Thanks... but you are telling me how to format the sd card in the pc... thats right...
My first doubt was if i had already formatted the sd card or if its a bug or a translation mistake in ginger bread.
When i unmount the sd card it lit the option "Borrar tarjeta almacenamiento" ( Delete sd card in english), and it doesnt appear any "Formatear tarjeta" ( format sd card in english).
Everybody has the same ? Or do you have the two options to delete and format the sd card ?
Thanks again.

There is only one option. That is to format the SD Card. I think its a translation mistake. Make a backup of your SD Card and then use the delete/format option.

can't format micro-sd card from phone

Hey XDA,
I want to flash a custom rom on my GS2 but first I want to format my micro-sd card and when I go into storage settings the Format option is grayed out.
What can I do? I can't format it on my laptop because I don't have a micro to SD converter

You need to Unmount it before you can format it, click the button above format SD card.

Phone asking me to format SD Card!

My phone is asking me to format my sd card out of the blue. I have a 32gb Kingtson, I have a lot of crucial data. I have not yet formatted the sd card. I've tried conventional ways of getting my data like using GETDATABACK FAT32 but it did not work. I have used other but no to avail.
Does anyone know what is the best method to recover files from a sd card that was working but now it is not?
Go to settings>storage and unmount microsd. Remove the microsd feom ur phone. Use a microSD card adapter ... a full size sd card that u can put ur microsd card into and will fit into your pc. Click and drag important data from microsd onto desktop. Then fat32 format the microsd and reload the data onto it. Done.
Or u can upload all data to dropbox and then format amnd reinstall... but it may take a while.

no external storage

Flashed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235446
I am getting this error of No external storage available on all the apps that require internal storage e.g. In Gallery, it says no external storage available, same in camera, explorer e.t.c
Have I done something wrong?
Do you have an sd card?
I do have an sd card, currently, the player only works with the sd card.
somehow the sd card is being treated as the internal sd card? this is completely weird. As soon as I take out the sd card, it fails to recognize the internal card.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Find "vold.fstab. (system/etc)" open it, and change "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard1" to "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard0."

1 can you go setting--- memory-- check what is available and send the scren shoot.
2 when you wipe in recovery no any strange message at the screen? like can't read or open mmcblk0p 15....
I got this same kind of problem but i dont have and external Sd, but i want to save the pictures on the phone it self is there a way to change this? Because when i open the camera ap it says, no external memory.
I had the same issue
I had the same issue.
Go into recovery mode and try to mount emmc. That's what my external SD was renamed.
It was fine when I loaded the ROM but it flaked out after I loaded a different kernel.
I would recommend using X-plore from the Play Store to navigate your files. It's the best way to explore, move etc.
Try format SD-card:
Go to CWM -> mounts and storage -> format sdcard
