Android Not Reading microSD Card
This happens all the time. I prefer formatting the SD card from within Android. This solves just a portion of the issues with SD cards — if you haven’t tried it yet, it’s worth a shot.
To format an Android microSD card, go to:
- Settings
- Storage
- Scroll down to the bottom and select “Format SD card”
- Then select “Format SD card” again
If this fails, you will need to connect the SD card to a PC with a card reader.
If your files aren’t readable after connecting to a PC, you will need data recovery software. I recommend using EaseUS’s Data Recovery Wizard. It’s free and effective.
