Having problems with SD card, SanDisk adapter, laptop and Moto G 2015?
ATTENTION! I'VE EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM IN SHORT DOWN THERE
I've been having a ton of problems with my technology and I have been trying to solve them for three days now. The HP forum redirected me back here as a last resource.
Here's a full explanation of my probllem (don't mind the recurring informality, the original post was meant for Reddit but the website blocked me from posting on my first day of registration):
Technical info:
Phone: Moto G (2015)
microSDXC: SanDisk Ultra (64gb) (apparently xc I)
Adapter: SanDisk Adapter (microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC)
Laptop: hp's pavilion dv6, 64-bit OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
My problem:
IN SHORT:
all my files are always getting corrupted when I move them to the SD card (on my phone move media option, not on a laptop). I can't move them manually to the SD card folder on my laptop either. Apps won't move to the SD card while on my phone too. My laptop won't recognize my SanDisk adapter, which contains my 64gb microSDXC card, that I'm inserting in the laptop to format because somebody said that could be a solution. But my laptop won't even recognize it, if something was supposed to show up on "MY COMPUTER". COMPLETELY frustrated. Have spent hours downloading +50 albums and organizing hundreds and hundreds of photos in spe
cific albums on google photos, so I REALLY want some help.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Motorola said the Moto G (2015) could only hold up to 32gb, but in one of the links I provided people on the forum are saying there have been people who could use the 64gb (and even up to 128gb) at ease.
NOT IN SHORT:
So I bought the Moto G (2015) a couple of weeks ago and some days later a bunch of music and image files got corrupted, and I didn't even know why... Somebody told me to install an anti-virus, and I did, a few days ago. Yesterday, I factory reseted my new phone for the first time, to try and get rid of the said "virus" (and i think there was one tbh). I also did that to remove my corrupted files and later on manually transfer the backup data of them (in my laptop) to the post-factory reset phone, specifically to the 64gb microSDXC card i bought, through a phone-usb cable-laptop connection. So first I tried transferring the files either directly from the desktop to the SD card folder or by moving them from the desktop to the internal storage folder and THEN on to the sd card folder, but neither worked because the files wouldn't transfer at all. So, alternatively, I tried leaving them on the internal storage and disconnecting the phone from the laptop, and then, on my phone, proceeded to attempt to move the files to the SD card, by clicking on the move media option in the storage settings. It took a long while and, once the moving was over, ta-da, all the files came out instantly corrupted. BEFORE even doing this media transfer on the storage settings, I had completely wiped the memory of the SD Card.
The next day, I got suggested to put my microSDXC inside my SanDisk adapter (which apparently is compatible with microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC) and then inside a PC/laptop so I could format the former and then maybe I'd be able to use it. After... some time... trying to firgure out what was wrong with my laptop for not recognizing the adapter, I realized it was backwards. -facepalm- Ok! Yay everything's resolved. Except it isn't: even after inserting it correctly my laptop doesn't seem to recognize the adapter (with the microSDXC inside it). And this is where I don't know what to do (again lol). I've contacted SanDisk and HP but they'll still take a while to respond, and nobody seems to care for my problem on the android forums. So my last resource was reddit. Please! Can you help me?? I really need this music on my phone, I've meticulously organized my pictures into 7 specific folders (I don't even know if my phone will accept that) on Google Photos and downloaded 52 albums (and plan on downloading more), but it won't be of any use and my time will be wasted if this turns out to be unrealizable B( .
I know this seems to be a complicated and boring matter but ugh you people are the only ones who can help me rn.
