Having an issue with a Consumer Cellular version of the Moto G Power (XT2014-6) 2020 version. The SD card is mounting as read only and I do not have the option to format it as internal storage. Is this normal for this phone or is it something I can fix without root or finally is it a defective phone. Phone is brand new, only had it for 4 days and looking for an answer so that if it is defective I can return it for a replacement during my return period.

Hey guys. Recently bought a 16G class 10 sandisk microSD
It has been working fine for the last few weeks until I accidentally removed it w/o unmounting.
I'm not concerned with keeping anything on it as it is only a few weeks old but I am unable to mount it in order to format it. In fact my Note doesn't see it at all (running current CM10) My samsung captivate (running the same thing) can see it and says it's blank and needs to be formatted however it is unable to do so.
When I use my PC adapter is doesn't recognize it for almost a minute then finally claims it needs to be formatted but is unable to.
It's almost brand new and I really haven't even used it yet so I'm wondering if you guys might be able to give me some advice as to what I can try with it.
Thanks in advance.
same here
I am having the same problem. I have a 32GB scanDisk class 4 rating i picked up from radio shack on sale.
1. turned phone off, w/o unmounting SD card first
2. removed SD card
3. Inserted into my MBP (because my flash drives were all full)
4. copied material off / erased what was added to the disk (about a month later)
5. inserted the disk again
while the disk is in, the OS constantly asks me to format it but when I do the disk looks the same(to the OS) :
"SD card blank or has unsupported file system"
I get this error before formatting and then again after formatting.
Help if possible. Thanks.
Hello,
Hoping someone can help with this issue.
My phone is an international galaxy s3. Bought september 2012 with a class 10 sandisk 32GB SDCard. Around november, suddenly, phone keeps displaying "preparing sd card", "damaged sd card", etc. when phone wakes up from sleep, this causes media process to continually run in the background, killing battery. Force stopping the Media process doesn't help as after sometime, Media process will run again.
I solved the issue by buying another SDcard, same brand, class 10 32GB as well.
And now, after 2 months, same issue reappeared with my new SD card! Displayed the same preparing sd card issue, and now my phone seldom deep sleeps because of the android.process.media process. It keeps sending wake locks.
Anybody knows what the issue is and how to solve?
Thank you very much
Same problem here, I'm on my third SD now and after a week or so the same problem happens?
Carry out a proper test of the SD card .

I managed to temporarily solve the problem by buying another sd card (my 3rd SD as well), but this time I bought a class 4 16GB one.
One thing I noticed, when using ES file explorer, and checking the last modified of the SD cards (the old ones), it shows as 1970-01-01. When I reformat it, it goes back to the correct last modified date, but over time it goes back to 1970. This new SD card still shows the correct last modified date so far.
@JJEgan: I did try that SD card test tool from before (1st SD card) and didn't show any problems. I doubt it is a fake one though, I bought it in Korea with the hologram packaging and all, the 2nd one I bought in the Philippines but also looks legit (using SD test tool app also seems fine for both).
@sam77744: I already tried a factory reset. and formatted SD card in the PC, in the galaxy s3 itself, same problem.
Is it possible for the phone to mess up with the SD card over time? In such a way that even if you format the SD card lots of times, it will really not work well with the phone anymore?
By the way, my phone ran 4.04 then upgraded to 4.1.1 over the lifespan of the 1st sd card, then 4.1.1 and then upgraded to 4.1.2 over the lifespan of the 2nd sd card. Stock ROM, never rooted, updated 4.1.1 via Kies and 4.1.2 via OTA.
Will be grateful to any ideas on what might be wrong and how to permanently fix, I can't keep buying new SD cards every month
Download the SD Formatting tool, available for free from the manufacturers association's website. I've had several cards over the years that corrupted after formatting in the phone, but were okay after using the tool.
I'm not convinced that class 10 cards are the best option for phones, yes for cameras where only a small number of large files of written, but in phones where a large number of small files are written a class 6 might be better for real life use.
hello,
Last weekend my galaxy note 2 suffered a SDS and got its main board changed. I didn't get it repaired from Samsung service center as my phone was out of warranty, had custom rom and the price they were quoting was high. Since this was a after market job the imei, wifi and bluetooth mac and basically every ID changed when they changed the board.
I was thinkin about encrypting my devices internal memory and external memory card and had a couple of questions
1) If i encrypt the internal memory would i be able to root, install custom recovery and roms?
2) Are the encryption keys for external memory card stored on the device or the card itself?? If i encrypt my external memory card, and my phone suffers a hardware failure or i have to factory reset the device or install the rom again, would i be able to insert the memory card again and access the data using the previous key or would I lose all the data??
3) If the screen breaks and and i cant unlock the phone using the pass code, can i access the internal as well as the external memory from ADB using the pass code??
I was in ES file explorer trying to move files to my external sd card and all of the sudden I get an error saying task failed. I can't delete or copy anything to my external sd card now. It's a 64 gb Class 10 Sandisk Ultra micro sd card. I formatted it to Fat 32 a long time ago. I don't know what's going on. And now all of a sudden Root browser in Root Explorer doesn't work either. I can't write anything on my phone. I even reverted back to stock android to see if it was the rom problem and that wasn't it either. I'm completely lost in the dark now.
I'm running CM12 Beta on my G3 if that means anything.
Try getting into it via twrp I had a problem like that a while back and I tried twrp and it did work I ended up wiping via twrp. You can also try putting it in your computer and partitioning it. I my self repartitioned it and just deleted the current one and made a new one. It seems that some roms or apps ect can cause the software in the sd card to become corrupted also try mounting and unmounting it before you delete anything.
If you are rooted you need to download SDfix from the play store. It says kit kat but works with 5.0.X fine. SD write access is still limited in lollipop unless the app creator allows SD access. If you were on zv6 on a custom rom it was probably baked in.

Yeah I tried formatting it and everything. The micro sd card is stuck in read only mode. I think it's dead. I put the micro sd card back into my S4 and my S4 couldn't write to it either. I ran CHKDSK on command prompt and it said that there's a corrupt file on the mciro sd card but it can't repair it because the micro sd card is stuck in read only mode. I tried to format it usng the SDFormatter and nothing is working. I used google and people are saying that when a micro sd card goes into read only mode it means that it's about to die. :c sucks cause it was 64gb and I've only had it for a year.
I had 2 SanDisk 64GB cards go bad soon after I formatted them to FAT32. I don't know why, but it happened. SanDisk could not explain it, but they were really good about replacing the cards.

I would contact SanDisk about it but I got the SD card in October of 2013 from BestBuy as a birthday present and I don't have the original packaging or receipt so I don't have proof of purchase so I doubt I'd be able to get the micro sd card replaced.

Chat with SanDisk. IIRC, they didn't ask me for a receipt, just where and when the card was purchased. It has a lifetime warranty, they will replace it and will even send you a free shipping label.
I have the same problem, I was copying files to my external sd card from internal and all of a sudden it said "moving files failed" and then nothing on my sd card would show up, though on storage information it shows that it's mostly full. But all the files are unreachable until I reboot then everything is fine while I'm listening to music, but if I stop for a while or try to move anything it messes up again. Anyone know of a fix?
I'm on lollipop, but the sd fix app would not do anything for me... Running Danvdh's Google Play Edition Rom

Your SD card is locked. That means you need to unlock it to copy or delete. This you can find in the setting of your phone. If not, chances are there is switch like thing on your SD card from where you can unlock it. If you have lost the data in unlock process, you can recover it using Stellar Phoenix Photo
Recovery.

[ SOLVED SD CARD PROBLEM]
Hello everyone,
I did not get any solution on xda forum here where I posted the question somehow I have solved the problem. After doing lot research I got doubt that That the SanDisk Ultra 64gb SD CARD is malfunctioning and gone bad for this I contacted SanDisk support by mail they replied immediately that my Sd card is not working and they will have to replace it. It seems they knew this is common problem (On my research on various forums and social media videos I did not find this answer and there are no apps or software to repair the sd card and even if there is a software which claims to repair the chances are that That will be temporary and there may be risk that the next time if sd card malfunctions it gets totally corrupted and all data is lost ) and offered replacement which I accepted. This whole process is called RMA which is short for Return Material Authorization you will get a RMA no. Or ID through which the whole procedure will be conducted. They needed an image of sd card of both sides with serial on sd card clearly visible and they asked other questions like address name etc.
There was a problem in this process the SanDisk support wanted me to first submit the sd card at their nearest service center or ship the sd card to their Service center HQ if there is no service center near. I said to them NO WAY I am giving my sd card which has sensitive data which I will not share at any cost they said that will first check the sd card at their service center and destroy the sd card in front of me, I disagreed then SanDisk offered other solution which is that I cut the sd card in two pieces in which on one side serial number is shown and take the image of it and send them then they will initiate the shipping of new sd card. I cut the sd card with scissor carefully to avoid cutting serial number. I did that. They delivered the sd card although another model SanDisk extreme 64gb (I had SanDisk ultra 64gb).
I am now using the sd card with almost 40 gb content on it and its working fine now.
I am attaching some screen shots I hope somebody else will benefit from my pain and effort.
