[Solved]Formating sd card

[Sajo]

This is how I do it now. Just looking for a better way.

Here's one suggestion I read on another forum. Eject your current SD Card and insert a different blank SD card and the phone will index it. Then, eject that card and re-insert the card you are using now. That will force the phone to re-index it also. Then, when connected to a PC there are new options in the Notification area. By default, charge only is selected; make sure you select the option for File Transfer. Maybe that will help.

Cool, good to hear that. I am on the road for a business trip and don't have a spare card, but have some in old cameras when I get home.

Did that also fix the SD Card name when you connect to your laptop? Right now, my laptop shows my SD Card name as M_$_4_4_$MM_---M^4.....or some nonsense like that.

Original card did not look like that. The card I swapped in temporarily showed up like that. When I swapped back, it was OK.

I edited to thread's title to show solved, until we can get that button fixed.

Nice work @sajokaz, thanks for the help

Thanks Pere! When I get home Saturday I will try the same with my phone and hopefully will be able to see the card from my laptop again, and maybe not have a 24 character weird SD card name.

No problem. Glad to hear it worked good for Pere.

I finally had time to do the same to my phone / SD Card, and it worked for me also. I can now see my SD Card when my phone is connected to my laptop...and I can now see all of my musics album art in the Play Music app. That was bugging me, always looking at blank album art. [emoji3] My SD Card still appears as M'"%$#&M$#&:M''''''''M or some other nonsense on my computer screen, but I can live with that. Now it's time to check the wife's phone. [emoji106]
