the solution to that is wanting back normal sd card support. I'll never buy a phone without it, and I'm not just saying it. I need the removable storage that is not a USB stick but something inside of the phone, and I think this is a basic thing. it's a shame though that in the fairphones you can only access it after getting out the battery.
Well, my phone has an SD card slot, which I bought a 512GB micro SD card to go in, and I used extensively, then about a month ago the OS stopped letting me write to it. And there aren't any alternate OSs for my device, just Motorola Android
You might want to consider googling the problem and fixing it.
Well, I wouldn't use Google, but I have already detached it on DuckDuckGo, asked HuggingChat, and Lemmy, and the consensus seems to be that there's no way to fix it on this device.
Perhaps you can do a chargeback on the credit card? Has the manufacturer been stringing you along?
can you write it from a PC? or did it stop working after an update?
I haven't tried taking it out and trying to put it in my computer, maybe I should check that
maybe the card is just faulty. while you're doing that, you could also make a backup and reformat it. but, it'll lose the factory formatting that was possibly done with a few optimized params that make it wear out somewhat slower
I already formatted it before, so formatting it again won't hurt. Most of the things on it are already hacked up to my computer, the ones that aren't are stuff like app data.
