Re: SD Card not recognized

 

Ok, so I tried formatting the card on the S3 mini and then putting it back
in the BQ.

It seems to recognize the card now.
Isn't this an issue? What else could I have done if I didn't have an
Android phone available?

Why didn't the BQ recognize the card out of the box like the S3 mini
(Android) did?
