I there any way to make a microsd card visible in the phone while connecting the phone in Disk card mode to a computer. Kinda like "Card Export II". But seems very simple to do like have the card switch to read-only mode on the phone when connected. Or if you can have read and right on both the phone and computer that would be amazing.
So does anyone see this possible?

im afraid that its not possible atm, since the computer is using the SD card as an extra HD to transfer files, and i had that come across all the time, i know its a pain especially if ure exporting pictures or wallpapers and try to see if itll fit or look nice on ur TP or FUZE but ya man it wont work, unless u can google it up and see if its possible, would be nice
The latest wm5torage does that. Only you need to run it and forget about the beautiful popup for selecting usb mode

I have been transferring etc to sd card ok after mounting it on the G1 screen. For some reason now after updating the radio it gives me a BSOD! Not sure whether pulling out the 8gb sd card and installing the 1GB update card may have stuffed it or not but it says to run chkdsk on it......
The reason i am transferring onto it is i have a folder called media and in it i have a folder notifications which has the icq "UHOH" on it- but for some reason it keeps disappearing from my card. Any ideas of why?
thanks
i have stuffed the sd card- mustn't have dismounted it properly or something- the whole mount/unmount etc when plugging in the G1 is confusing- to mount is easy but how do you dismount it from the PC when you have finished using it?
ok. can someone tell me how to dismount the g1 from the pc properly so as not to damage the card again- it is fixed now with chkdsk.
the instructions say to "You can also go to Home > Settings > SD card & phone
storage, and clear the Use for USB storage check box." but of course that is not there..... I see there is an unmount/eject sd card but i thought that was for unmounting card from the G1 itself so i could take the card out without turning G1 off.
Did a search and couldn't find anything on this.
How do i unmount it when G1 is connected via USB to pc?
****edit***** can a mod please move this thread to the plain old "dream" section?
i got you
Look for safely remove hardware it should be in the notification area(it looks like a usb plug with a check on it) Right click that and click Safely remove hardware now just find your device and remove it
have fun
Edit: or just right click on Removable Disk(whichever the G1 is find out) in MY Computer and press Safely remove hardware or Eject not sure if its the same as
Safely remove hardware
but any ways have fun again
thx mate- so i don't have to do anything from the G1?

hmmm.. think idid that...wonder why my sd card stuffed up? My notifications and alarms folders went missing...
hope this helps mate
well now maybe your card is corrupt. Its happen to me before with an external hard drive(just pulling it out without safely removing hardware.)Corruption!!
try this use a different mem card(one in the house or new) to get to the root of the problem (most likely you need a different mem card)
Hey guys, I posted this on androidforums but got no response. So I figured I would ask here, see if anyone can help.
I've been having a problem more and more with mounting my phone to my pc as a disk drive. I want to pull pics off and add things obviously. Increasingly, my phone just won't mount as a disk drive. I have to connect and disconnect it several times to get it to work. And now today, it won't mount no matter what I do.
~ Rebooted the phone
~ Make sure debugging is off (won't work either way)
~ Tried making it automatic and/or make it ask which connection
~ Used "Safely Remove Hardware" and it doesn't help
~ The pc sees the drive added but won't go any farther
~ My phone sees the card just fine and I can access it just fine (32gb)
~ If I take the card out and mount to the pc, it sees it just fine
~ The phone still charges while connected to the pc
~ Sideloading also still works just fine
~ Stock Inspire, no root or anything
So what the hell? Makes no sense... I've since downloaded "Wife File Explorer Pro" and it works like a champ. I can see all the contents and folders of the card and I can upload/download just fine. I'm fine using the Wifi Explorer but I don't like the fact that I can't use my cable. I'm not exchanging the phone so that's out. Any thoughts or ideas? Appreciate your time!
have you tried a different usb cable?

ah, ok. it 'kinda' sounds like it's in charge only mode instead of disk mode. do you have it set to ask each time or default to one of the settings?
select diskdrive on phone and I have debugging enabled, make sure to install htc sync, my computer will see the drive but cant access it till i actually select mount as disk drive and click done, then it is accessible, you can try a different usb port, and then try restoring phone if all else fails, your pics should still be on phone.
Sometimes I forget to select the "Done" button at the bottom of the screen to lock in my choice for the USB.
Yeah, I've tried all of this. I've set it to disk drive and automatic and it only charges. I've set it to ask me each time, and it does not. Typically when you plug it in, the usb icon shows up at the top but it no longer does this yet will still charge. Ask, don't ask, debugging on or off, it just doesn't work. When I plug it in, the pc shows the new connection as the H drive but says nothing is inserted. When I remove it, that "drive" disappears. I always make sure and hit done when I choose, nothing seems to work.
Oh well, it's no big deal really. That Wifi Explorer works really well so I can access everything from my browser through wifi. It works suprising well!

I'm using a SanDisk 32gb card, just a slow class 2. Did you mean you re-booted the phone without the card in it and then put it back in after boot up? Or removed it, shut down, re-inserted card and then powered back on?

A lot of Android phones are like that.
I need assistance to restore the external sd card on my Galaxy Tab plus. For some reason My Files began crashing on start-up. I then discovered that the extStorage link was no longer available in any explorer. When I open the settings menu and click Storage it force closes as well. I tried a Factory reset to no avail. I located a new Myfiles.apk on line, but it wont install.
Please, if anyone has any ideas short of flashing the rom, let me know.
Now I'm kind of a noob in regards to tablets, but if it was me, I would turn off the tablet completely and then remove the microSD card. I would then turn on the tablet and make it is functioning properly. If so and if I had one, I would plop in a different microSD card and see what that does.
If that is all working, then suspicion falls on the original microSD card. I would then put the microSD card in a SD or USB adapter and insert that into, again if you have one, a laptop or desktop computer. If it does, see if you can copy the files over to the computer and then use the computer to refomat the card to "Fat 32".
I would then take the card out and plop it back into the tablet and if everything is working.
If so, dismount it from the tablet, insert it back into the computer, copy your files over and then plop it back into the tablet and see if it now reads your files properly.
This is kinda like a crime scene, you need to do small discrete tests to see where the problem lies. Is the culprit your tablet or the tablet card port or the microSD card or a corrupt file on the card or was it Colonel Mustard with a knife in the parlour closet...
G.B.
And remember, talking dogs are liars.
Been there, done that.
Ja, I have tried that approach. It seems this criminal is a tad more sinister. I think my only option now is to flash the stock rom. I was hoping to do that when ICS came out though.
Thanks for the help!
I'm running CM10 and I've been trying to plug my phone into the computer, but it's really slow. I'm trying to free up some space but all my files don't even appear.
Is there a way to fix this?
To follow up also, the phone will no longer read my SD card, it's sees it, but won't bring anything up. My computer card reader is fine though.
