Galaxy S2 not mounting sd card - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi my wife has a galaxy S2 but today the phone stopped being able to read her 16gb class 4 San disk sd card. I took it out and tried mounting it in my s3 but it didn't see it either.. She has loads of precious photos on it. Can anyone give me any advice as to what has happened and how to fix it? thank you.

Try mounting the card on a computer, preferably a Linux machine. Then backup the photos and other important files and reformat the MicroSD card.

SD card not working.

Anyone know how to get to the SD card? I put a known working 32 GB card in and it will not show up. It is formatted NTFS, could that be the problem?

Yes, the NTFS formatting is your problem. Format should be FAT32.
Fat32 should be the formatted state... I really hope you don't think you can install apps on it ....I learned that the hard way... ICS won't let us install apps to our external memory card smh

I have an app (maybe it's a widget?) running on my phone, circular battery indicator. I put the .apk on my MicroSD card and installed it from there. Works well! Gotta have the .apk though.

They apk can install from.the sd card but if u look in the app manager... It installs to the internal or phone storage not the ext sd card

[Q] recover photos and videos from internal sdcard

hi guys, i accidentally wipe my phone (using Android Revolution super wipe script) without backing up my photos and videos. So i need to know is there a way to recover photos and videos from the internal sdcard? Any help will be much appreciated!
Sorry to hear this. Unfortunately data recovery is not possible from internal SD card due to the file system it uses. But hope that there is some way I'm not aware of and you can get your data back.

It works only for FAT32 formatted external SD cards. Does not work on internal card.
It's a paid app for using all features so consider this before spending money.

Since you said it detects in your phone. COPY everything out and format it from the phone and then copy things back on... Can't get simpler than that.

Sd card is inaccessible

My s3 is a rooted device and while trying to play a game call jackpot slots, whenever I tried to open the next level, the error message 'sd card is inaccessible' the appear and I am unable to proceed further.
Can anyone advise on how to resolve this issue if you know please?
Thanks.

Is it internal or external sd? If external, remove SD card and put back again or try on your computer. Can be dead Happened to many people.
If internal, go to recovery and perform format.

I think it's not the sd card issue, my friend whose phone is not rooted is able to play the game and only this app has this problem of sd card inaccessible, the rest of the games are working fine.
Furthermore, I tired on 2 other rooted phone and all have the same issue.
Therefore not too sure if it's some other errors. thanks.
