I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime model SM-G530T - Android version 5.1.1. I have an SD in the slot on the back of the phone, however, when I try to mount it, the SD options are greyed out. If I try to move something to the SD card, I get an error message that states there is not a SD card installed. I checked to make sure it was inserted all the way and it is. I've rebooted a few times and still have the same problem. This is my first time using a SD card (I'm behind the times) so I don't know what else I need to do for the phone to recognize it.
Please help me - thanks in advance

Hey guys. I just switched over to android so i'm kinda clueless about everything. I just bought this sd card i put it on the phone but i don't know how to see it. I went to sd and phone storage my phone but i can't see it there either. I connected my phone to my windows computer expecting it to read it but only my phone storage came up. Could you point me to an installation guide or something. I tried searching google but couldn't find anything.
did you try reformating it? All the SD cards i put into android gets automatically mounted..
i just got it out of the box and put it on the phone. when i go to sd and phone storage on the settings menu it doesn't seem to be reading the card cuz it says total space unavailable. Mount sd card is highlighted. I press it but it just greys out like its doing something.
OK ot it working. I had to reformat it. Thanks a lot for your help.
I've tried two different Micro SD cards in my new Verizon Galaxy S III, neither are being detected at all by the phone. I tried formatting one as both FAT32 and exFAT and still no dice. Any help? I really hope my phone isn't faulty.
What are the brand/size of card? Where did you get them?
Try letting the phone format the sd card in settings

Wow, as soon as I post this, it starts working perfectly fine. I did a factory reset and the SD card still didn't work at first, but I reinserted it and now it's recognized. Thanks anyway.
It will recognize it but it is barely useable and you cant do apps 2 sd because samsung is blocking it
If the issue is resolved, then it's considered forum courtesy to modify the thread title by adding this to the end of it: [SOLVED]
Btw, I can't stand the way the internal & external SD cards are handled now.
I'm having the same card issues. Att galaxy s3 won't recognize the sd card. In my original s1 it works. I see all the contents. It works with my micro sd adapter when in my computer. I really don't want to do a factory reset. It sounds like it just worked out of nowhere. Although yours was solved, I'm hoping for a fix other than it just worked. Any other options besides factory reset? Anyone else having same issue and found a fix? Under storage tab in settings it says mount sd card and below it insert sd card. Thanks for any help in advance.
I have recently updated my S2 to the stock rom 4.1.2. However the phone started running out of storage place in the internal USB (where I could not even capture a screen shot, etc.).
So I decided to factory reset it and wipe it via the recovery mode. After the recovery, the phone just keep having a USB icon and saying "USB storage is blank or has unsupported file" and prompted me to format it when I click on it. But it just dismount and try to mount again without solving the issue.
I have searched through couple of forums and couldnt get the fix on this, tried to format it on PC (via connection a cable to the phone) but it does not allow me to do so saying no such right. Tried to flash it again with the rom, still no good. Also tried to wipe it many times still no sign of hope.
I am wondering if anyone here may point me the right direction to any place where I can fix it. Since I cant even take our the internal USB, I am just stuck with the internal 2Gb memory. Thank you so much in advance.
I remember seeing this message when my external sd card got corrupt. So quick question, are you using any external sd card?

Thanks for the reply. I have already removed my external SD card to isolate the issue. I still got the message even I dont have any external SD card inserted. So it shall be the internal memory issue.
Hi,
I have recently rooted my galaxy mega dual sim phone. Everything seemed ok, until I realized my SD card is not shown in storage section. It seems my phone no longer detects my SD card.
I found a really similar problem posted in the forums, but the instructions were for s4 mini... Anyhow I copy/paste what the op had said there:
Since I rooted my phone the device won't mount my SD card. As soon as I boot the device it shows a system notification "You can safely remove SD card".
When I go into Settings>More>Storage the bottom option is for "Mount SD card". However when I press this it says "Preparing SD card" and then roughly 10 seconds later says "SD card safe to remove".
I have been using the Sandisk 64GB XC I SD card with the phone since I bought it.
The phone seems to have rooted correctly. Rootchecker advises that the phone is properly rooted.

I`m pretty sure, It is not hardware related, because I can see my SD card in recovery mode, and my pc seems to be able to read it just fine.I am also able to use other SD cards on my phone ( I tested a 16GB and a 4GB) but not the mentioned SD card ( 64GB ).
What do you think the problem is? Is it kernel related? If so, what kernel should I use to fix it?
Well. i got wiped the whole phone without backup it (sounds stupid, iknow :<)
Then I got into install tab but in the extSD, there is not thing at all. I chose the "Select Storage" and my Micro SD Card just 0MB.
after that, i checked the card by computer and it just work perfectly.
Need help fast. Thank guys :crying:
