Howdy,
I had an sd card working fine in the Swift 2 but it suddenly stopped working and couldn't be read by a PC either. I have therefore bought a new one but I can't get it working right in the Swift.
The phone recognises when I put the card in so it's not broken. I can format it okay and I can tell Android to use it as External (for storing photos or music) or as Internal (for apps etc) but whatever I do it does not seem to work. I cannot download any large apps as I get a message asking me insert an sd card and if I try to use the camera or gallery I get a similar message "No external storage available".
Looking in the settings for Storage & USB I can see Android clearly recognises the card but no apps will use it. Is there another step to the set up I'm missing or something?
Thanks for your help.

HI all
I was wondeing if you can help.
Today, all of a sudden my SD card has stopped working. It has been in use I had music and photos on it. But this morning after being charged last night it seems to have stopped working all togherther.
I have the SD card logo on my notifications bar.
It says 'Bland Card'. I have tried to mount the card in options but it isn't working. NOTHING has changed on my phone at all that i'm aware of.
The phone sometimes said that it was 'preparing the SD card' on the notifications bar but usually works after that but now not so much.
I dont know anything about routed or anything its just out of the box for me lol.
any help to get this working again is much appreciated.
***EDIT***
Also, my phone picks up my songs on the SD card in the music player but it isn't showing photos in the gallery or even regestering that there is an SD card in the phone???
Remove SD card and connect via card reader to a PC and try to recover any wanted data using RECUVA or a similar tool .
Then format sd card as FAT 32 in Windows and try .

Hey guys. I have CWM 6.0 and the CM10 ROM from here and I love it. However, whenever I open Gallery, or try to download a file, I can't and get the message "No external storage available". I don't have an SD card inserted, however my NT has an internal SD card (I'm guessing the recovery partition) of 1 GB, and I've tried un/remounting that, and the message still exists. Can you guys help?
Several apps insist on external sd-cards. So the simplest solution is to just insert an sd-card!
I don't know if it's possible to fiddle with the void (I think that's the name...) file or something like that to make the internal storage show up as external. I know that was possible in CM7, but I haven't been bothered enough to look around for it. I just have a small (1GB) card inserted just to keep those apps (for example Swiftkey) happy.

Awesome, that works. I guess I need to buy a new SD card then haha. One other question...My computer doesn't seem to detect the internal storage of the Nook (or the SD card) when connected via USB. It just shows up as Removable Device and when I click on it, I get the message "Please insert device". Is there a fix for that? I'd like to transfer music to the Nook and not have to take out the SD card everytime.
When you connect the NT to the PC there should be a small notification in the notification bar. It says something "USB connected". Tap that and then you probably get to another screen where you get prompted to "turn on USB" storage or something like that. Once that is done you will have access to the SD-card and the user patition of the internal storage.

Hello
I've been flashing AOSP lately and my phone recently wont recognize the internal SD card/ROM memory. It says file system unsupported and it wants me to format the external one when that is not really the case. I remove my external SD card and I still cant use the camera, take screenshots, see keyboard predictions or even create folders in the card.
I pull up storage settings and the total internal storage space is 2.12GB (when its supposed to be ~9 gigs). The apps menu displays 0.00B on the "On SD card" tab.
Here's a detailed description of app issues:
*Camera/Gallery- Pulls NO storage alert saying "No external storage available" "Insert an SD card before using the camera".
*Screenshots- "Couldn't capture screenshot". on notifications bar.
*Swiftkey predictions- "Predictions not available. Check SD card."
*Google music- Doesn't pull up the thumbnails of the albums.
I know all this suggests the external SD card is screwed, but I can read/write anything in it.

edit: just discovered my 12 remaining GB that are not showing up are formated as (F: ) which seems like this is the problem. OP when you connect to your computer what does it show?

Thanks for the reply. I'll check it out and let you know.
Edit: I connected the device to my computer and it didn't show up below My computer or pop up any USB storage device, it only made the sound of something connecting. Then I rebooted to recovery (I'm using latest TWRP), mounted internal and still wouldn't show up. I entered devices and printers, right clicked the device and it was showing as H:, hovered to the open storage option, formatted and walla! Why didn't I ever think of connecting it to my computer...
We ran out of storage in a day after my kids downloaded a few games. I've read about the adoptable storage on devices running Marshmallow and above, however, this option did not show up when I popped in my SD card.
I was able to move individual game to SD card, but that's a hassle to move each time they download a game. Tablet is all stock and I would like to keep it that way for now.
Watch This Youtube Video, It Will Format It To Internal, Just Move The Games To Internal And Move It In The SD Again, then most apps in the Play Store Will Automatically Be In The SD Card

The above sort of worked. When i switch users, i get a message that my sd card was removed. i have to manually remove it and reinsert it back for the total memory to update.

Hello,
So I have a problem. I took a photo and was trying to upload it on WhatsApp but my phone would not let me. I checked my Gallery and it said 0 Pictures/Videos. The phone decided to delete (or hide) all my pictures and videos. Now, when I go into my phone's Settings/Storage and USB/SD Card, I can see that there is data worth 3.6GB that is taking space on my SD card but it's not showing up anywhere.
I tried to re-scan my SD card using the "media Re.Scan." app but it didn't work. I have been wracking my brains at it for a couple of days now.
I just want to know if there is any way to force my phone to read the data that is there on my SD card, or to recover those pics and files that are hiding on my SD card. Please note: My phone is not rooted and I formatted the SD card as an internal storage so it only works on my phone. I cannot connect it to my laptop (Macbook). I tried to connect the phone with the USB cable and it does not show up on my laptop at all.
Please help! I need my pics and vids!
Thanks in advance!
