    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

          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

          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?
