I CANNOT see my SD card after upgrade to 5.5.1

After upgrade to Android 5.5.1 (build 14.6.A.0.368) I CANNOT see my SD card (I had used all the time before this upgrade).
What's the problem?

It is REALLY ridiculous.

Hi,

How do you mean that you cannot see your SD-card? Does it say anything that it's not mounted? Can you see it if you go to Settings > Storage? If you check from the application File Commander, can you access it from here?

You can always power off your phone >  Remove the SD-card > Insert it again and power on the phone to see if this can help.

Hi Hampus, I had the SD card mountable/unmountable with the 4.4.x version. Now, after upgrade, the SD card is not mounted. When I go to the Settings > Storage settings, I can see two options for SD card (I apologise, I got my device localised, so I'm just guessing the exact labels for these): - Mount SD card - Clear SD card However, either option is unavailable (is greyed out). As for the File Commander, now I can see just the "Internal Storage". Well, I can try that "power off/remove ..." procedure. Thank you, hawran

Hi,

I've just done the "power off/remove/..." procedure and it seems to be working now.

(Although I don't understand why, 🙂 )

Thank you very much,

Glad to hear that it's working now! Hard to say what the cause could be, perhaps the phone just couldn't read the SD-card (some kind of dirt or similar), your SD-card might be old etc.
