SD Card not recognized

[tokeru]

Hi,

I just switched from my Xperia Z1 compact to an Xperia XA. So I wanted to transfer my micro SD card, but apparently my XA doesnt recognize any SD card. When I put it back into my Z1 everything is fine, so the SD isnt damaged. Any Ideas on what I can do?

Regards

Alex

backup everything on a computer > reformat the SD card > check again.

Apparently still the same.

@tokeru

could you test a different SD card with your new Xperia?

[tokeru]

Would have done this if I have had one here. Seems that I have to get me one somehow.

Hello @tokeru,

Are you inserting the SD-card in your new Xperia with the phone turned on? If so, do it with the phone turned off instead. Is it still not recognized? In that case I agree with @uliwooly, check with another SD-card to see if the same thing happens.

HI I'm not sure if anyone can help but ive just bought a xperia XA and want to install some apps onto my SD card.  Unfortunately i cant get the phone to see the card.  I've taken the card from my previous phone and formatted it to exFAT which the computer does see.  Any ideas would be great

Hi @peanut1919,

Welcome to the community.

Try formatting it in the phone itself.

To do this please go to Settings > Storage > 3 Dots > Advanced > Storage > SD Card > 3 Dots > Settings > Format.
