Moto X Play updated to Marshmallow No Longer Recognizes SD Card

[Myzlo]

Coming from an Iphone to an android device with the Moto X Play. Has been working awesome since the day I got it.

Then everything changed when Android 6.0 Marshmallow attacked.

My SD Card was no longer recognized by the device and I had to format it in order to get it to work. Okay... Converted to internal Memory and worked like a charm for 2 days. Then It no longer would recognize the SD Card again. Trying to format it again, like the newbie I am, I have consistently received an error that has made the SD Card unreadable.



I am just starting to investigate the problem as I was on vacation at the time and was going to worry about it when I got home.

Well that time is now, and I would sincerely appreciate a point in the right direction on this one folks,

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Which microSD card do you have?

Where did you buy it? Many cards sold by eBay sellers are counterfeit. The shady sellers claim the cards are much higher capacity than the really are. When the size of the contents on the fake cards exceeds the limit, then errors result. (For example, a 64 GB card that is really only 4 GB.)

Hi Laura,

I am using a Sony 32GB microSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card.

I got both my Moto X and the SD card at the same time from the Bell Mobile dealer here in Canada, so doubtful it would be a counterfeit.

To clarify, this message shows up when trying to reformat the SD Card for use. Otherwise it says the SD Card unreadable and needs to be reformated.

Hope this helps.

Have you already tried wiping the cache partition after the system update?

 

[Myzlo]

Have just done that now. No change in memory card use.

Have you managed to read that SD card from a different device? Take a look here and see if any of those fixes work for you. Tell us how it goes.

WOW Javier, this looks to be the exact issue I'm having. This only started with the Marshmallow update, so I'm certain that the SD Card itself is not the main issue. I'll try out the steps described tonight and get back to you on what the results are.

Thanks again!

Hello,

Here the exactly same problem! after upgraded to Marshmallow Android 6.0 Moto X Play, no solution yet!

Same problem here and I found and followed a fix at: forums.androidcentral DOT com/moto-g-2015/630247-pc-can-t-access-moto-g-files.html#post4937816
This is a known issue with the Marshmallow update on G3 with SD card set as portable storage (users who switched to internal storage seem to have no issues)... Disconnect USB, then Go to Settings, Apps, and Show System Apps, then find External Storage and Media Storage, and clear data and cache on each one and reboot. Give it 5 min after full boot up to rebuild media databases and connect to USB and select MTP, should be good to go.

Next time I rebooted and connected to PC (Win 10) it was all there! Hope this helps.

Anybody could already solve the problem? I just happened the same ...

 

[Shobhit Dubey21]

I tried all possible solutions but no luck yet. This is a very serious issue. Has anybody discovered the right fix?

After the upgrade to Marshmallow, the phone's performance has been way below standard.There is frame drop even in games like subway surfer.The phone hangs quite a bit,not so responsive especially when the charge is less.

I strongly believe it's an issue at the side of the SD card.

Nope...it's not. Card reader maybe.
I have two of these phones. One has this issue, the other does not. Removed both SD cards, put the 'none functioning one' in the other phone, worked fine, could see all data on it. Put the 'functioning card' in the affected phone, it's not recognized and phone wants to format. Put it cards back in original phones, back to original issue. Let the phone format, still won't recognize it.
Phone with functioning SD reader now doesn't save new contacts, I know.. separate issue. Only issues I've ever had with this phone.

i have the same issue and the memory card is working in my other phone so its defiantly not an MSD issue
