Google play store, sd card doesn't work - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
SO I have Samsung Galaxy Express 2 (g3185). I tried to download one app and google play store crashed (google play has stopped working) so I tried to fix it. I deleted play store cache and other but i didn't help aswell so then i deleted updates but still nothing. And when i tried to download newest play store apk from internet i got this No sd card. And i cant even open gallery or take a photo, but sd card work perfectly on other phone. I've done like 3 factory resets but still nothing. Please helpppppp!

Does the phone report it sees the SD card in Settings / Storage? If not, I would copy the stuff off of the SD card, and reformat it on a PC and try again.

insert your sdcard in your pc and do a Disk check, make sure to select both options.

Okey I will try to reformat sd

[Q] Music apps can't read from SDCard

Hi guys,
I've been frustrated with this issue for a while. By using any kind of file manager, I can see my sd card (under /storage/sdcard1). Can copy file to and from. The same goes when I connect the phone to my PC. But when I try to read music from the sd card, it seems that non of the music apps can see the SD. The same goes with the gallery, can't see any pics from the SD. Tried to clear data from media service but still no luck.
I am using RR Rom, before when I used GB, didn't have any problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!!

you can check SD card on your PC before reformat, copy all on your PC and after you can do wipe data and wipe cache

wont show up on my pc, i can see files in cwm though :S
I noticed that your using the siyah kernel, I''ve had a similar problem since using it. After installing a second Rom to the sdcard, the first Rom now says the sdcard is damged.
When I boot into the second Rom it works perfectly, no problems, but the first Rom can't even mount it and just says damaged.
I don't have any work around, but it may be helpful to have a possible cause.

Did you try accessing and move your files with root explorer? or removed jb domination?
or install Titanium backup --> backup all your apps and files (except jb domination ) and reflash a new rom with ODIN. afterwards restore your apps and files.

[Q] the whole writing to SD card thing. annoying now.

i've tried fixes via this site (including one from xposed. it's not a problem for most things but titanium backup just won't do it. the folder over a few weeks seems to go read only (checked via root explorer - can't give r/w rights) and just fails saying insufficient storage space.
i have to pull the card (can't mount as proper USB anymore - shame), create a new folder and move the content over. this works for a while but then i get the same again. something makes the folder read only.
other apps are able to write/delete etc to my mSD so the fix must work so what the hell is TB doing?
i'm on 4.4.2 (this rom from a while back)
any advice (bar flashing to 444? - might do that next w/e anyway)

Are you trying to get apps to store on your Micro SD card and not internal?
On the play store, if your phone is rooted there's a fix so you can write to the card. If you wanna save space I suggest downloading folder mount.

I would advise you to backup the contents of your external card. Then format the card by inserting it into the phone. & of course USING the phone to format it.
I had the same problem. I did this & touchwood, no problems so far. Hopefully it should work for you.

Lol what are you talking about? I don't have issues with my card I think you meant to quote the other guy....
Anyways I think he's talking about the write issue in kitkat. Download SD card fix, you only need to run it once.
Oops! Big faux paus indeed! That is correct mate.
I will do a check on the SD Card fix. Seems interesting...
formatted the SD card and copied all back on - same thing happens. it's only an issue in TB for some reason. works for a while then stop.
tried the sd card fix too (must work i presume otherwise other apps would have probs too).
i'm not trying to install apps to the mSD (although would love if google brought that back).
Im using liquidsmooth rom and gdkernel. Still cant write into the sdcard. I tried all the app fixes and xposed..
Pls help.. .

Download that, you must have a rooted phone. I've had no issues with this app, only run it once. Upon success, remove it, done.
Yeah. Ive already tried that app and other. And also the xposed apps. Still didnt work. cant delete files and sd card.

Corrupted MicroSD after Adopting as internal

I have an LG g4 Beat (h735ar) i just updated it to MM and i found out online that i could adopt a MicroSD card as internal, which is nice since the phone comes with 8GB of storage and almost 5 are taken by the system, so i bught a kingston 32gb class 10 micro SD card and via ADB i formated it as internal storage, at first everything was fine, i could install apps on it, but after 2 days when i woke up and went to grab my phone, some apps that were installed on the sd card and were running on the background started to stop working, so i decided to reboot the phone, after it rebooted the sd card was not longer readable by the phone it shows a notification that says "Cannot use SD card. Tap to set up for use." i tried tapping on it, it prompts me to format it as portable, and when i try to do it, i doesnt work, it goes up to 20% and then closes, i tried formatting the sd card on windows via multiple ways and programs (tried DISKPART with the command "clean all", also tried sd formatter and EasyUS partition master but they didnt work)i tried on ubuntu, also didnt work, i tried using gparted and partition wizard but they didnt work neither, so i thought the SD was defective and went where i bought it, i got a replacement, i did exactly the same with the new one and it happened againt (probably not the smartest idea, but i didnt have any reason to think it would happen again), i've been trying everything i found online and nothing works, now aparently i have to decrypt it by using a key located in /data/misc/vold, but at first the key wasnt there, now it just appeared, but now the problem is that my ubuntu machine just doesnt recognize it, it shows when i open Disks, but it doesnt seem to be mounted, and i cant fix it.
Does someone know another way to fix it? i could just get a new one probably and not set it up as internal, but i'd like to fix it mostly because im kinda embarassed to have to return a second sd card.
Had the same problem.Took the same steps.Luckily I had copied the sdcard contents to my computer.Factory reset didn't help.This is what worked.I have a samsung phone ,so I used odin to reinstall the stock rom.The sdcard was immediately recognized.I copied the files from computer to sd.All is right!!!

D618 with CM13 storage not working

Hi, I have a problem with my D618. I'm running CM13 with the adoptable storage option, and I seem to have some problems with it.
I can't seem to be able to download anything, I've tried updating apps from the store and it tells me I can't (error 963), if I try to download a new one it just gets stuck on "download pending". I can't download from the browser either. I can't seem to be able to copy files from my PC to the SD (I assume that when using adoptable storage the files copied go to the SD), but I was able to copy from the SD to the PC. I can't take pictures or screenshots either, or view pictures from my gallery. I am able, however, to listen to audio files I have on the SD. All apps seem to be working ok otherwise (except Instagram, but that's probably an unrelated problem that has been happening since a few days ago).
I tried rebooting the phone but I didn't try anything else just in case I may mess up my SD.
I noticed the problem earlier today after trying to download an apk and failing, if that's any help.
Edit: I tried this and it didn't work
Edit 2: Can't format the SD back to portable, ejecting and then mounting it again doesn't work either
Edit 3: Turned off phone, removed SD, tuned it on, inserted SD, formatted as portable and when the phone rebooted it told me the SD is corrupted. Now I'm trying to format it as internal again.
Edit 4: The format time-outed, I'll try to use another SD card
Edit 5: The other SD card isn't working either. I think I'll try a factory reset...
