I have a new A14. I got in a Samsung 256 memory upgrade chip and installed it. The phone won't recognize it. I inserted it in the tray with contacts down like the SIM card. Any advice?

I bought it on Amazon, sold by Amazon, delivered by Amazon with complete factory packaging. The memory card works fine. It came with a regular SD adapter so I put it in a camera. Works lie a charm without formatting or doing anything. I guess I'll just use it with the camera. Thanks.

Maybe the card came in a format that Android doesn't recognize, like NTFS. Try inserting it into a Windows PC (if you have access to one) and reformat it to FAT32, ext3, ext4, or exFAT.

Thanks but I will abandon the concept and use the memory card elsewhere. The phone should recognize the card regardless of how it is formatted and then either invite me me format it or at least allow me to format it. It should handle a card with no format. Take care.
