Help SD Card...can't see it...

[gr8couple]

I just put a new SanDisk 32GB micro SD card in my Atrix. Nothing I do makes it show up. When I go to SETTINGS - SD CARD & PHONE STORAGE SETTINGS, the section under SD CARD says Total Space - UNAVAILABLE Available Space - UNAVAILABLE Mount SD Card INSERT AN SD CARD FOR MOUNTING (There is already one there) - Format SD Card FORMAT (ERASE) THE SD CARD...But the last two options do nothing when I tap them.

When I go to SETTINGS - FILES and tap on SD CARD... it says Memory card is missing. Insert memory card to read files. I click on OK (the only option) and the dialog box goes away.

I have rebooted (took out the battery) and no joy.

Any ideas?

I had this issue... I had to JAM it in the slot... please do this with discretion. If you're positive it's in, don't do this.

and it works. I took out the card...took out the battery...then put the battery in and powered on...waited until all looked right again...then pulled the battery...put the card back in along with the battery...powered it up and all is well.

Mine had that problem and would eventually see the card. It also unmounted the card by itself.
I replaced it at the ATT store and havent had any issues since.

I have this issue and I've tried the above suggestions. Both pushing the card in as far as it will go and power cycling the phone by pulling out the battery didn't help. In settings the SD card is still listed as unavailable. Is it best that I exchange the device?

Hey stumbled upon this thread through google and just thought Id share my solution.

I was having all kinds of trouble with the my 32gb transcend sd card....it never registered in the phone so I pressed it in as hard as I though necessary....but then after release it just came out again. (with repetative and anoying 'ding dongs' lol)

I ended up SLIGHTLY bending the metal bracket that holds the card in for a tighter fit and its worked fine since.

Just got the Atrix 4G - added the 32 GB SD card - phone reconizes them fine, but XP will not recognize the SD card - sees the phone's internal memory, but not the SD. Any ideas ?

I am having the same issue and will be returning mine as well. Unfortunately I got mine off ebay and will have to go through the buyer protection thing.

Just got a 16GB micro SD card. Installed it and thought nothing of it. Later, I noticed the phone was getting hot. I started wondering if I had installed a bad ap or something. Then it dawned on me, what if its the memory card. Naw... So I took out the card, and turned the phone back on, minutes later, the phone was cool again. I was still in disbelief so I installed the card again and left the back off so I can check it more closely. I soon as I stick the card in, it instantly starts getting super hot.
What does that mean? A short or something? I started searching the net and came across this forum... crapp... A faulty micro Sd port... is what is sounds like to me.
