Samsung Android 11 Unable to Browse to MicroSD Card

[sovereign09]

After installing the Android 11 update for my Samsung Note 20 Ultra (what Samsung calls One UI 3.0), I can no longer browse to the microSD card within Dolphin when pointing towards files. I'm using the most up-to-date version of the application available on the Google Play Store.

I had no issues pointing to the microSD card before the update to Android 11, which only went live about a week or so ago for this Samsung device. Afterwards though, I can't navigate within Dolphin to any files on the microSD, much less see it in the folder structure. However, ROMs that I'd already pointed Dolphin to, it can still run without any issue. I can also still browse my microSD card with Samsung-made apps without any problems. I thought it might be a permissions thing or something with the switch to Android 11, but checking the application permissions, it shows it still is allowed to fully access the microSD card.

Thoughts?

This is a known issue, it seems to be caused by the upgrade to Android 11 though one of the Android developers may be able to provide more details. There is a fix coming though!

The fix has been merged in 5.0-13386.

oh dear, so as of which rev was this an issue?
im on 5.0-13365, and im fine,

thank god i didn't update past 13365, so i didn't face this issue,

so, if i update to 13386 or + , this SD card issues won't be present?

i remeber recently another 5.0 rev broke any games from working, but that was fixed with a new rev.
sometimes not updating to the leatest dev is okay as to not face any unexpected issues like here.
or until a fix rev comes out that is safe to update to i mean.

Every version older than 5.0-13386. But it only seems to happen on some phones. So far, I've only heard reports of it happening on Samsung devices.
