How come sometimes, randomly, it'll just give you a notification that you have an SD card inserted even though it's been in there for a long time?
 
Well I'm not talking about when I power on the device, I just mean after charging it
 
Just because it gives me a notification that it's inserted doesn't mean it's bad, it's not like it doesn't work
 
It could be that the card isn't inserted properly and is a little loose in the slot. If it moves, it could lose contact for a second and then give you the message as if you just put it back in.
 
I don't know why it would only do it sometimes after charging, it's not really a big deal I was just wondering
 
I'm pretty sure I inserted it just fine, I've taken it out a few times
 
That's why I asked the questions I asked. You shouldn't see that notification all the time.

I saw that notification and it was the first step that my sd card was going bad. I'm not saying yours is going bad but you never know.

Use the app SD Insight to check and make sure it's a legit SD card. Alot of counterfeits are sold even w/brand names on them.
 
It's not illegitimate, it isn't all the time, I think it's normal
 
I have some cards (Kingston and Sandisk) which my old phone recognized reliably but the new one won't. I tried several cards until the phone was happy with a new 32gb Sandisk card.
My laptop and desktop both see all the cards reliably and can read/write them without any problem. The new phone is a Huawei P8 Lite 2017.
