This is something I have already posted in both LOS groups and no fix so far, coming here. Here's the copy-paste of the post I made prior, plus an update at the end for clarification.

-( So, here we go again. The first time I had an issue was because of a scam card. Now, I have a real SD card. Problem: I have been trying to move music and photos to it to keep on my new device (Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 / milanf) and when I insert it into my phone it says "Issue with SD card." And it wants me to set it up. However, when I plug it into a computer it's totally fine. I can't find any answers online, and the only other issue I saw similar was someone using a Xiaomi device running LOS 17. I didn't have the issue on my phone until the most recent LOS 23 update on the 8th of Jan. What do I do to resolve this? I don't want to have to carry multiple devices with me, for the time being, to access certain photos or music.

  • edit: I neglected to add this detail. It has been formatted by the Lineage device, but the issue persists.)

I have been able to move music over after it's been formatted by the phone and that seems to be fine, but when I insert the SD card into my old Samsung Note 10 Plus and then download all the pictures and videos I have I then reinsert it into my LOS phone and it says the SD card is corrupted. I didn't have this issue until the latest update and I don't know what to do to fix it. Nothing is wrong with the card, I'm at my wits end. I have been dealing with this for a month. Please help.

My personal experience is, every device in which you insert an SD card, you format it in the device, otherwise this sometimes leads to problems. Suspect that it has something to do with the small partition in the front, is a few mb in size where all data is listed because of partition. What is your upload speed? Reduce your distance from your Wi-Fi router for both devices

And sometimes phones encrypt external storage. So if that's enabled, the SD card will be unreadable once pulled out from the phone. That's by design to protect personal information. Can be avoided by either formatting the sd card on a computer, or disabling that default setting.
