Okay, so my phone has done this a couple times now, and I don't know why its doing it, or how to avoid it. I've inserted a new memory card and it works fine. Then, after I take the card out once, the phone won't recognize it anymore, and I can't reformat it to make it work...then out of the blue, it will work again for a week or so... its getting annoying... any thoughts?
My TF doesn't recognize microsd cards that are inserted when it is powered on, even if the previous card was correctly unmounted first. I have to restart the TF, then it will recognize the card.
I have the latest FW from the Asus site.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Anyone? I'm starting to wonder if my TF is defective.
I do not have this issue. I swapped a couple of microSD cards and it would read both, detect when one is inserted and taken out.
Have you tried updating the firmware to see if that resolves the issue?
It's not defective. It's Asus' workaround so that we even have a working microsd slot, until honeycomb gets the official update. So for now you will have to restart each time to get it recognised, if you have this problem. It probably depends on the type of card you have too.
I've had it not recognize my microsd card a couple times. Though all I had to do was wait a few seconds before popping it back in and it read it fine after the 2nd or 3rd try.
It make take reformatting the card. I had this issue until I reformatted the card.

Seen the same.
I've seen this behavior on my TF also. Sometimes I just wait a little bit before i try to put it back in. I've also noticed that if i took the card out and then proceeded to transfer huge amounts of files, when i put it back in the card will mount properly. I suspect this has something to do with the tablet going completely in to sleep and resetting the card state hence becoming responsive to card insertion after a an extended amount of time.

Hardware: Both TF and Dock are B6O on 3.2 stock
Ok anybody run into this issue?
Disconnect Tab from dock and reconnect it after a minute back. At this point you should see on the bottom a prompt what said " Preparing External storage". Well not in my case! When i go to settings and check under storage the card is showing w/ 0 GB and the only option is to un-mounted / If you do so it prompted up w/ the message: " SD card fault occured". I have to shut down and reboot to re access the SD card. As well when i unmount the card, remove it and re-insert it dosn't do a scan. (I tried 7 different SD cards on the TF dock, and yes they all work on my PC!!!). Does anybody has that kind of issue with the SD card dock slot?
Try unmounting the card before disconnecting TF from dock.
I am pretty sure there is bug with mounting the SD card on the dock. The SD card is mounted and unmounted also when the tablet goes into sleep. I have found this process can completely lock up the tablet to the point where a reboot is needed.
Edit: By locking up I mean the tablet will no longer go into deep sleep.

Every now and then my 32 GB SD card just disappears. I just remount. It has happened less than 5 times...
Hmm had this issue before, but somehow after rooting and using custom roms, its not an issue
Well
You You shouldnt have to unmount the SD card all the time you disconnect the TF. You sent your TF to sleep it disconnect the SD in the keyboard, or just close the lid and reopen it, it will performed a scan of the SD card. In my case it does it sporadically butr if i disconnect from dock its like its connected half way not accessible but you see it under settings as explained above.

Thats exactly what happened. not even removal and re-insert of SD card makes the Volume accessible. Only the reboot does.

Today I tried a micro SD card in an adapter inside the dock. So far it has not created the problem. It could have something to do with SD card or the data on the card. I will test tonight to see if the Transformer does not lock up over night with the micro SD card in the dock.

That would be great! Let us know the outcome. What i said i tried a bunch of cards so the situation of a faulty SD card is cut out for sure. As well supply us w/ the first 3 digits of your dock please.

Enough Proof!!!
OK i lost alot of power to last night and i got this. On those 2 pix you see my TF disconnected from dock. dock is laying next to it but its still shows 2 SD cards are mounted in the TF task bar????????
Inductive mounting!!!!!!! Didnt know that the TF had that feature. LOL
is cwm installed?
in the recovery-mode is an option mount/unmount for several devices.
perhaps changing some of them may help.
two memory sticks in the dock and one sd and one micro-sd in the tab,
there may be four sings at all. every memory is able to make somthing
wrong. perhaps it´s possible to show a sign if a memory is not inserted!

I removed the SD card last night and everything was good, 2% lost on the tablet no drain on the dock. Are we really the only people having this problem? This is my second dock from Best Buy, I would like to know more before I get a third.
Dock Shipped back to Texas
I sent it back and talked again to the Asus Rep. They aware of the issue and got replacement parts for the epic fail construction. I made him aware of the sd card reader issue and made a note in the shipping box to that they will see my dock back in case of no fix
Did you send off for repair? Did they fix it? I have the same issue with the SD Card not mounting and only being able to fix by rebooting. If I am reading your post correctly you were experiencing some battery drain as well? Fixed as well?
Sorry didn't saw the post. I received the dock back. They fixed the draw but i guess the did't took care of the SD card reader issue. But i got a idea. I've noticed as well when the SD card symbole disappears and you dont see by opening or turning your TF on. Normaly it does the preparring SD card check. Well when that's not appears your SD connection is not present but here your homework. Next time it happened to you. dont turn the device off. Take several USB devices like a USB flash drive a MP3 player or your smart phone and connect it to one of the USB ports on the dock. Let me know what happened. (( I repeat, test that when you got the bug to show up and your SD card is in the dock but not accesable).

Today i went to cellcom to get my sd card checked because it all of a sudden stopped being read by my phone and could not be read on other phones. So they gave me a new one because I'm still on warranty and when i got home and put the new one in it says the sd card is damaged when i hadn't even done anything to it yet. Any ideas whats wrong?
I also tried formatting it and that did not do anything, and i also formatted it on my computer which still did nothing
Have you tried writing on it with your computer?
yup tried formating it on computer. I also just tried it in a different phone and it was damaged. Thats strange how i got a new sd card that was damaged
try a different brand. there's a chance that if you got those memory cards from the same place, they could have been manufactured at the same time. possibly a bad batch of them
Went to check some photos on my phone, the ext SD card is MIA?
Pulled it out, put it back in, still no go. Popped the card into the adapter
to shove it in my computer. Everything shows up fine on that?
Any ideas? Rebooting didn't seem to do anything either.
This card is about 6 years old, on it's 4th phone. Maybe it's just worn out
contact wise?
TIA
