You tried to activate the sd in the settings menue of the A3 and there was none recognized. Right?
Did you use th sd card as an external (mobile) memory or as internal memory in the A1? If it was used internal, to put apps on it and not just data, it can't be used in a different device.

Yes,i look in storage option and there is no Sd card.I used as external card on mi a1.I tryed with my brothers phone mi A2 lite and also his phone detect sd card.I only Don't have another micro sd to try in my a3.

Is the sd card formated as adoptable storage for your mi a1 by any chance?

Install this app and insert/remove the card a few times to see if it's detected by system at all.

If it's happening with other SD cards as well, then you might have defective phone. Also try inserting smaller cards, I used to have issues with 128gb card in Mi A1, 64gb was working fine.

When you insert the new SD card into an Android device it will ask you if you want to use it as external storage or as part of the phone. I guess in your mi a1 you selected the second option and Android formatted it to use only with that phone. It will not work on other phones and by now I do not know any option to undo this...
Hope it helps

I will buy today card reader and format micro sd.Because I need to transfer some files from card before formating.

Even if he did this, new phone should detect the card and notify that it can't read the card and offer a format option. There isn't any magic behind using SD card as internal storage, just a different file system (ext4) and encryption. If he can read the card and files in another phone, it means that it has standard file system without encryption.

I've just tried with messenger lite. Click on send file, choose external storage, select photo, done. It went through without an error.

I used card reader and it won't read micro sd.Say it's invalid and want me to format.But i have important files there.What should i do?
Gesendet von meinem Mi A3 mit Tapatalk

I saw now that my card is encrypted because first time when i used i put to be as internal storage,then i move as external,but seems thar card have some files still there from time when card was used as internal storage.Is there any chance that i can use that card again?My mi a1 is broken,windows say that can't format card.But when i put in Mi a2 lite from my brother phone as me to use card as internal or external storage.

Your only chance for recovery of encrypted files is to use phone which encrypted the card. What is wrong with A1 phone?

Sounds like you had a defective card and it finally gave up. The good thing is that you can apply for a lifetime/10 year warranty. All my Sandisk cards which went wrong locked up themselves in read only mode - I could read all the files, but couldn't delete them or format the card. I had to physically destroy them and buy new cards instead.
Btw. you obviously know this already, but always make external backup of important files. I use daily sync with Google drive of all photos/videos/etc. and also automatic backup of photos and videos in "free quality" to Google photos. Google drive gets synced to a PC as well, so unless I get extremely unfortunate, I always have at least 2 copies in different locations available.

Where i can apply for warranty?On their website or where did i buy card?
I know about backup,i always set but last few days i didn't backup some photos and documents.
Thanks a lot for help.

Try the website of Sandisk, there you'll find which service center to contact and how to proceed, each country has slightly different procedure for RMA.

[Q] How to safely upgrade the micro SD card [solved]

Hi all!
Since the 2GB microSD card sold with the device (an xperia mini pro) is becoming too "small" i have decided to buy a new microSD card (a 16GB model).
The question is ... how do i tranfer all the data from the previous microSD card to the new without messing things up?
I have already red somewhere that it suffice to copy/paste using a windows PC. Ok. I got that. But when am i supposed to pull out the old microSD card? While the phone is running (although it sound really bad to me)? After turning off the phone? Or is there some kind of "safetly remove"?
Thanks in advance
Yes you can do but unmount after go to settings > storage > unmount SDcard then swap SDcard and repeat again (providing you are on ICS

Thanks for your answer.
Actually i am runing android 2.3
What about doing like this:
1) turn off the phone
2) pull out the old 2GB microSD card
3) copy/paste all the content to the new 16GB microSD card
4) insert the new 16GB microSD in the phone
5) turn on the phone
Would this be a good way to go?
You can do, enable mass storage on device for faster transfers too

Thanks. Now i am running android 2.3 so that mtp option is in a different path ... i just need to find it out ... anyone still running 2.3 can tell please?
Ok. I found the correct pathway for android 2.3.4 : settings -->Sony Ericcson--> Connectivity --> Mod. Conness. USB --> MSC
So the entire process should follow these steps:
1. enable hidden files/folders in pc.
2. chage the setting "mtp" to "mass storage" in the phone.
3. connect the phone to the PC.
4. copy all files/folders from sd card to pc (i created "Sd card backup" folder in the PC)
5. disconnect the phone from the PC.
6. turn off phone.
7. remove the old microSD card from the phone.
8. put new sd card in phone
9. power on the phone
10. format new sd card with phone
11. copy back all data/folder from pc to sd card
About step 5 ... I guess that the "Mass Storage Mode "(MSM) let the xperia mini pro behave like a "normal" USB stick, right? If so, i am supposed to you remove the phone from the PC through the "Safely Remove Hardware" option of Windows (the little icon in the right-bottom corner of the desktop)?

3-Copy it to SD Card
4-Power off the phone and open recovery
5-Install Modded_VoldFstab_Installer.zip
6-Select "reboot system now"
How can I revert it?

This is like 1001 thread here about vold.fstab mod.Why did you opened thread for this and why it is in development section?
Normal memory swap. Go out with this, is xxx thread about this
If there was a Modded file there was always a original backup

I have not seen a zip file that can be flashed via the stock recovery in any of the other threads, so I think this is not such a bad idea.

Finaly a vold.fstab that works like it should.
The others I've tried continued to move the apps to the 1.2Gb phone drive, this one finally moves the apps to the real sd card like you say... Guess 1001 threads are good after all

It doesn't make sense for me.
The only cause to swap data to sd is that games are bigger than the internal SD. But this does the other vold.fstab you can find here, too.
So why to use this one?
Sent from my GT-I8160 using xda premium
Because using the one included in Italian Job the "Move to SD" option doesn't move to the real sd, apps are still going to the virtual sd card of the phone.
Try moving some apps to the sd card and you'll see the available space of the virtual sd card go lower. This means that when we get to 1.2 Gb of apps we get an error message saying that there is not enough space even thou the real sd card may have plenty of space. I'm talking about the apks, not the data from games, data from games goes to the correct place.
The vold.fstab included here solved this problem for me, apps are now going to the real sdcard.
For what use this? Good ,big games have .obb file and this go to sd card
I have ace 2 one year and I never use all space for apk. Allways is free something like 600-700mb. Old moded vold.fstab is ok. Better do (if possible)
On stock vold.fstab (1.1/1.1/ext.sd card) I want to instal games directly on external sd card. Some games have that options but not all.

Well, I can tell you that many games/aplications apks occupy more than 100Mb (Anomaly Korea for example) and that every game/aplication I've installed had the option to move to sd (talking about going to Application Management and selecting the move to sd option after the game is installed). if you dont move them to the sd card and install a few big games, you will run out of space fast, I know I did...
Also I believe this is how the move to sd SHOULD behave, moving stuff to sd, dont you?

Look at available space in your 1st screenshot, now install a few more games with big apks. I can suggest Plants vs Zombies and The Room, you probably wont have enough space for both and will need to move something to the sd card to install them both.
Big games don't necessarily use a lot of phone space, some put most of the info on the sd card in the obb folder, but some don't, usually the data downloaded when you start the game is put in the sd card, and the data downloaded from the play store is left on the phone.
Regardless none of this invalidates that an option that is supposed to move stuff to sd card wasn't doing what it was supposed to do.

Ok, agree. If you want 500 apps installed the internal app storage is too small (i never get it filled up... )
But if this happens, I still have the 1gb internal sd to move them...

[Q]Put SD card in PC, made file changes but they dont show on phone

Hey guys.
I put my MicroSD card in my PC using a little card reader. The card showed up without error and everything looked normal.
I moved some pics from my card to my PC and deleted the folder. Then I deleted some old APK's and added some new ones.
Everything looked normal. I ejected the card like you are supposed to and put it in my phone.
I rebooted the phone, then used Solid Explorer to look at the new APK's... WHICH WERENT THERE.
Nothing I added was on the phone, and even the files I had deleted are there as if I never deleted it.
I am on the TAR update of the new rom. Any Ideas?
Did you have the lock turned on, the one on the card reader itself?

I try in the phone and it unmounts, resets, and then mounts back up not deleting anything.
I tried on my computer and windows says that the operation cannot be completed.
What the hell happened?
EDIT: I even went into Phils Recovery and tried to format there. NOTHING.
I read somewhere that this can happen when the card is dead. It goes into a frozen mode and cannot be changed. anyone heard of this?
Yup. It's happened to me twice. It usually gets worse from there, to the point of being unreadable...

For troubleshooting purposes . Can You use Another SD Card in your phone to make sure it's just the card messing up. Who knows ? Maybe the SD reader on Your Note 3 is fried ?

Plug the sd card into pc. Right click on my computer. Click on drives. Look for it there. Right click on the drive/card and reformat it to fat32 single partition. Stick it back into the phone and if its recognized. Reformat it again for android.
Unreadable error on the phone doesn't mean its broken. My lg tv reformatted my sd card and my pc nor phone recognized it. But it still physically showed up on the pc. Just have to know where to look and manually format it.

[HELP] SD Card became Read Only !!!

My 64GB SanDisk Ultra Class 10 card was running fine untill recently i flashed Omni ROM !! Then i was not feeling good with onmi and i returned back to Stock Rom..then the problems started to occur.I didn't notice at 1st.after when i connected to my pc to insert some files the files does not WRITE !! it shows that the files are being copied but when i refresh it stays the same old files which was previously there before....
What to DO ????
Can any one Help !!!
Use sd formatting tool on your pc, if still the same then buy a new card.
I have the same SD card, and sometimes when I flash a new rom I have to format because my phone is unable to read it. I always reformat it with SDFormatter V4.0, you can try it.
Do a "FULL (OverWrite)" format to be sure.

My S3 has killed at least 3sd cards of mine. Phone would start dismounting and remounting the SD card by itself, eventually the card would stop working. I've given up using a SD card in my phone
Mine has the same 32gb card I put in the day I got the phone, 2 years ago. Not had any problems at all, I avoid using the internal storage to reduce wear on the emmc chip.

I tried formatting it with windows but no Luck !! In windows it shows it formatted but when I insert it back into phone it stays the same .It returns back to its previous state... The thing is that my card shows that it is copying or deleting files but after a while everything just goes back to where it was ..I still have my old files unable to do any thing...so only Read Only ... :'(
Thats it I am never flashing a non stock based ROM ever !!

Use the proper tool, not windows.

Now i am trying with SDformatter v4.0 ...lets see what happens [fingers crossed]
EDIT : Nope still the same . May be its time to accept it that my card is gone !! my $60 down the drain ..

PSA: Huawei Ascend XT (H1611) you can use a 64gb SD Card even if it says max is 32gb.

I was able to put a Samsung 64GB EVO (ExFat Formatted) into my phone and format it without a issue. The phone says nothing over 32Gb will work but it's wrong. 64Gb works perfectly.

I have a Samsung Evo 128 GB
And I use Folder Mount from the play store to move all my apps to the SD card.
And if that works well for you, then that's the way to go . I was going to pop a 128GB in for a quick test, but don't have to right now with your good post .

How long have you been using the 128GB with Folder Mount on the XT? Any problems you can share before I dive in ?

Nothing Much
Okay, so I had a memory lapse earlier. Now I recall trying Folder Mount on the XT in the past, and just as before, it's not working for me today. When I create an internal storage paired folder in external storage and an app starts writing file into the internal storage folder, both internal storage and external storage folders don't match . On another phone, this works fine as I've been using it for weeks on that phone.

another +1 on the 128gb. You may want to check Wal-Mart - they had the Samsung Evo 128gb cards marked down to $37. here.
Now if we could just move apps out to there...

Tell me more! indeed adoptable storage is blocked.
I'd like to just stay stock and be able to move most of my apps to the SD card. I dont want to root as I want PoGo and other apps to work without any workarounds.
Your ROM is tempting if it becomes available unrooted!

Hey Madvane20, I got a quick question. I just downloaded your "Rooted Swift n fast b170 ROM" thanks for that btw.
But, I flashed it for the purpose of acquiring the Adoptable Storage feature that as we know is not available on Stock Rom. So I'm on this new Room and I don't see the option to Turn my SD card into Adoptable Storage anywhere....
Was I wrong in thinking that your Room had that feature? If it does have it how and where do I find this option?
Or do I have to use the ADB partition cmd lines for Adoptable storage? If I do are there any downsides doing it that way instead of having Marshmello do it, itself?
Thanks Madvane20 u da man
link2sd might work i havent had much success in doing adoptable storage on anyrom yet. im gonna release a rom i been using myself nothing fancy its based on b170 cause b180 battery drained faster on it just finishing a few more things before i post sorry i been busy in real life that i havent had much time for stuff. but just keep look at rom part of forum
Pretty certain link2sd only uses default methods to relocate apps - basically just lets you 'move to sd card' en masse, which is useless as it is disabled. Apps2sd is a bit more useful, specifically formats your card with options to either link or bind app resources to it (accomplishes the same as more advanced users using bash/console/adb commands )
link2sd was only thing that worked for me when i was using a phone that had native apps2sd working cause it allowed u to use a sdcard that u format to include the specail partition which it can and will move apps to unless somethings changed apps2sd wouldnt work if the os itself has has option disabled to move apps to sdcard. least thats what was going on with the phone i had. the only success on that phone was link2sd. only mentioned it to help see if it would work i dont use my huawei as my daily phone so ive had no need to use any kind of adoptable storage or apps to move or install apps on a sdcard
