I installed a new SD card into a Samsung Galaxy 111 and it responds with "blank or unsupported" , how or what to do to use it?
 
Hi!
You must format that SD card before you plug it in.
Connect it to computer or laptop (you may need a card reader) and just Format it.
Format it with FAT32 file system (reccomended) and click on FAST FORMAT. that it :)
I am sure that will help your problem! If not give me more information about your card
Good luck!
 
GeRgY, is there a way of saving my data first? i do not want to lose all of my pictures and videos of my children

 
Hey I have the same issue but the difference with mine is my sd card reads on pc n other phones but not mine it jus gives that error n doesn't mount ...I tried formatting on the computer in fat32 and that didn't help .....so what can I do please help anyone
 
Every SD card got a class (speed) model. Your device may works with other class SD card... Just try it ! :)
