Xperia 10 SD card unsupported

[Clockworks]

Just put sd card into phone, settings had me format the sd card and then it shoes its unsupported. It works on other devices.

Could you explain a bit more?

Did you try to format it using the official SD card formatter app on Windows too?

[Clockworks]

I tried reformatting through the phone and my laptop.

Hi @Clockworks, sorry to hear about this and I apologize for the late reply.

Is this a brand new SD card, or one that you have previously used in a different device? Just to make sure that there is not something strange going on with the device, do you have any other SD card to mount in your device? It doesn't really matter how big / small it is, it's just to try and see if the device can read any SD cards at all.

Thank you!

It is a previously used sd card, but I also learned it's just too old and the phone is too new

Hi again @Clockworks and thank you for this information!

Does that mean that you have tried with a different SD card and that works fine in your Xperia 10? I just want to make sure that you aren't experiencing any strange behaviour.

Thank you.

[Clockworks]

I haven't tried another one yet but I'll let you know if I find one that works and what the difference is

Hi again @Clockworks and that would be great!

Below are the specifications for the SD cards that is supported in the Xperia 10.

• Expansion slot : microSD™ card, microSDHC, microSDXC
• Max capacity of external slot: Up to 512 GB

Feel free to keep me posted if you get a hold of a different SD card!

Having the same problem with my wife's phone.- the sd card was used in her previous Xperia fine, but now despite formatting in the Xperia 10 says unsupported and keeps saying format again.

Disappointing if we have to buy a new one - and can you guarantee a brand that works?

The brand that failed in my case (same issues as mentioned in previous posts) is SanDisk
