My son received a replacement Droid2 Global yesterday (charging port in the old one quit working). The problem is that the phone doesn't recognize the SD card. We put the one from his old phone in there as well as the new one that came with the replacement phone. The phone doesn't recognize that a card is mounted. The card was working fine in his old phone just minutes before.
Has this happened to anyone else? Suggestions appreciated.
