I thought the 2nd sim slot could be used for an SD card? Thats what a few websites mention.

They are wrong. There is no SD card support at all.

[Q] SD Card slot in MI3

I have recently bought a MI3 and in the camera app, I see a message stating insert SD card in slot ... however, I do not find a slot for SD card. Does MI3 have a slot for inserting SD Card? If yes, where can I find it.
Thanks for the help
No, it doesn't. Is your phone genuine?

SD Card issues.

I recently purchased a PNY 8GB SD card for my Moto G. All was well until yesterday when my phone decided it didn't want to recognize the SD card anymore. I tried a factory reset, but no luck. Any solutions? And yes, I am on Lollipop.
Did you try connecting the SD Card to the PC using a card reader? I mean did you try formatting the SD Card again from your PC and then using it on your phone?

Which probably means your SD card is damaged/dead. Get a replacement if warranty is still available.

At this point you have 3 options:
Use the phone without an SD Card.
OR
Buy another well known SD Card like SanDisk or Samsung and make sure it is not a fake chinese SD Card and use it.
OR
Sell the phone and buy another phone of your choice.

Primary storage?

I recently bought hot 2 and I noticed that it uses external SD card as primary storage, how to set it back to use internal storage?
There is no option in settings!
Idk. It says on mine primary and external storage are the same. Can someone please provide a short post on this? Can link2sd, e.g., be used without root?

1. Describe your problem in details, please.
2. Nope
Here are screen shots to elaborate what I'm talking about.
The phone uses SD card as default writing storage by its own and I do not have option to select the default storage!

I think that is one of the little faults the phone has. With this November update, some apps cannot work without SD Card
is there any working solution to this problem?

You will have to buy and use external SD card until they push system update to fix it.

Me too, I had the external SD card as default storage. And as I am replying this message, my internal storage is default. I don't know how. But what I do know is I got a fake SD Card and inserted in my phone. After I booted, internal became default storage and everything is working well, without an External SD card.

An SD Card that isn't original. Maybe a 16GB SD Card that shows total storage as 15.3GB instead of 14.6GB

A fake SD would show a movie is 100gb but your SD is 16gb. Or a song is 3gb. Or a word document showing 5gb on a 1gb SD card.
If you play music it cuts.
