Z3 Compact (D5803): MicroSD not detected after Android 6.0.1 upgrade.

[E2CordovaM]

I have this 16 GB SanDisk (4 HC) which was working fine on Android 5, but after upgrading to Marshmallow (6.0.1) it's not detected anymore, no matter how many times I remove it and reinsert it on my phone, and is not my SD since it is perfectly detected on my computer with an USB adaptor. I'm thinking it might be a problem with SanDisks cads since I'm inserting other branded cards and they are immediately detected, I don't know it any other SanDisk users can confirm this (using Android 6.0.1).

Solutions I tried:

1. At first I thought it was a bug in the installation so I tried to reinstall Android via PC Companion under the "Repair my phone" option, but it didn't helped at all.

2. I formatted my microSD card on the computer in Fat32 and NTFS, and it's still not detected on my phone.

I guess if I don't find a solution to this I'd need to get a new SD Card, because the other branded ones I mentioned are not mine so, thank you Sony.

The sd card might be corrupted somehow. Can you reformat the sd card to other devices?

Heslo. I have xperia z3 compact.After last update to versia 6.0.1 my sd card stop working and mobile data too. I tried sd card in different phone and worked normally. I formated card few times and still not working.
For mobile data i downloaded inernet setting and it didnt help. I reseted my phone and still not working. Before update everything was alright. Can you help me

I fixed this by putting the card in a computer. Used the "Create and format hard disk partitions" tool in Windows to delete the two partitions already on the SD card. Create one new and format as FAT32.

The card was used previously in the same phone, but with encryption turned on. I think that messed up the detection somehow.

I have the same problem with my SD card. Tried reading it on my PC, but still no difference. Did anyone find a solution? I don't want to format the card because I am afraid to loose all my data.
