Hi Jahanzeb HussainQureshi,

Thanks for the forum entry.

Have you formatted the sd card over the Phone?

Did you try formatting the card over the PC?

Have you tried restarting the Phone?

What have you tried so far?

Best Regards,

Vasile M.

    Ok... i might try to find a fast wifi..  ( i pay by   GB not unlimited contract)  

    back everything up   data , apps, wherever Cortana stores my dirty words, pwords ( i hope) , etc. to the clould.. and hope that works.

    then.. put in the SD card.    so this Hard Reset ( back to win8)  then... do this one day process to get to win 8.1.. then... restore my phone..  OMG.   

    or forget it... wait for advice, or  an update, troll  MSFT management on facebook,    manage the SD card with pc and play songs off it.   ( i can read the SD with file manager , just not write to it

    in the meantime no idea how i will manage photos.   using 7 of 8 gb already after a week.

    I have a 16gb Kingston card. It works in one Lumia 520 bought this month, but not in an older Lumia 520 bought a year ago.

    Formatting the card has not changed anything.

    One phone detects it instantly and is happy to accept it.

    The other phone does not even detect it.

    The problem must be with the phone right?

    Is it because it's older, or because it's been used, or are the phones just really poor quality with some that work and some that don't?
