There are already several problems that we have found in Xiaomi phones when receiving MIUI 12, although now we run into one that was quite unexpected. Several users have suffered with the memory card failure when updating the Xiaomi mobile to MIUI 12 , which seems to block access to the card and prevents us from storing anything.
Luckily, the latest version of the Xiaomi customization layer offers us many solutions to memory problems in Xiaomi that we will know below. In one way or another, we will end up finding the key that allows us to continue enjoying the best mode of our Xiaomi mobile without this problem limiting our storage capacity.
Format the memory card on MIUI 12
The fastest and easiest solution is found in the settings of our mobile. We have at our disposal a simple button that allows us to erase everything on the card so that it works as it should on our Xiaomi again. This we must do by entering Settings> About the phone and then entering Storage. When we go down we will contrast with the option “Format the SD card”.
Before doing this obviously we have to remove all the files that we have saved with the help of a computer or another mobile phone if we do not want to lose everything forever. After doing this the problems with the micro SD card in MIUI 12 will be solved, although if this does not happen we have other options.
Eject the memory card virtually
In case the above has not worked, what we must do is extract the card with the help of the skewer that comes in the mobile box and insert it again, sometimes only blowing is corrected. However, this is likely that you have already thought about it and everything remains the same, which is why we must return to the Storage section, we go down and this time we touch on “Unmount SD card”.
After a few seconds of waiting we go the other way and ride it virtually. If this has not been useful, we unmount the memory card again, restart the mobile and again click on the button to mount the memory card that now I wanted freed from this strange error with the memory card in MIUI 12 that so many problems.
Give permissions back to the memory card
Finally, if all the above has not solved the failure of the Micro SD in MIUI , we have to think about a problem with the access permissions to the memory card in MIUI 12. Apparently the system has skipped this need for the that have passed from MIUI 11 to MIUI 12, but there is a way to renew these access permissions, as follows:
- We enter the Xiaomi Files application.
- We keep our finger on a photo or files.
- We choose “Move”.
- We choose SD Card and then paste in any folder on our memory card.
Just by doing this, those permissions should have been renewed and we will have access to all the available storage of the removable card of the smartphone.
