I just recently put an SD card into my Transformer and it works fine, the only thing is when I put it in it puts the SD icon in the notification area, and when I click it it lets me either view the files on the SD card or unmount it. However, is there a way to get rid of the notification icon for it?
That notification actually is pretty obnoxious sitting there. I don't see any option to turn it off though. It's as though the Transformer sees the micro SD card as a temporary storage device, like a flash drive. That's not how I intend to use it, though, so I wish there was a way to get rid of it.

If you want you can get a Xoom, then youll never have an SD card notification.

What you did there.
I see it.
Yeah, it does treat the SD card as more of a temporary storage device. It would be nice if you could configure it at least so that the MicroSD card slot doesn't show up that way.
For the dock, tho, I'd rather have something like the notification since most of the time any storage device attached will be used temporarily.

Well.. if you're joke is that the xoom doesnt have sd support right now.. well I guess you dont read much... because granted out of the box the xoom sd card slot isnt active the kernel dev for the xoom has had it working for almost 2 months. When I sold my xoom I sold it with a working sd card.. So technically you're joke.. really isnt funny, if it was acurate then it would be.. but it's not entirely
And dont take the tone of this post as bad.. just being a smart ass not a ****
I just bought a card today to stick in my TF. I'm actually fine with how it handles it -- I moved some music over to it and it showed up in Music just fine -- but I'm also annoyed by the notification. I don't mind it saying, "Hey, you inserted a card!" but allow it to be dismissed. Imagine if your phone did this, kept a permanent notification up top, bleh. I dunno if this is an Asus thing or HC thing, but I hate unnecessary icons in the notification area, always makes me do a double-take.

Okay guys I'm completely lost here when this device first came out, there was a lot of talk about an sd card slot am I missing something or is there an internal sd card?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Yes, there is an internal sd card which utilises the internal memory. If you root your device and install the Tiamat kernel you can now also have an external sd card
Where does the external SD card go?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
In the slot on the top edge of the device. There is a little pop out drawer which can take a sim card for the 3g/4g version, but also takes the sd card (micro sd that is).
Lol well consider me a self proclaimed [email protected] I've opened that up a dozen times and never noticed the SD card, probably should have referred to the manual first too
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Hi Mr. [email protected] LOL. You aren't the first don't worry, and who ever reads manuals anyway.
lol well if it makes you feel any better, I accidentally discovered it when I was searching for the "On" button. I felt like a real idiot when I eventually found this big obvious power button on the back.
I purposely give people my Xoom and say "turn it on." Usually takes a good 30 seconds or so.
when you got your device did you not see the lil removable slot and if you did and removed it, did you not see the fake little sdcard?

So from what I have read so far it speeds up the system and SD card works. What kind of a joke is this crap! SD card read only, apps can't use it. Netflix stops working, holy crap! What good is this update? If we can use the SD card, USB flash drives, USB hdd, netflix all on root stock 3.1, why update? Is this how Google is going to treat us? Moto should have never agreed to this crap! Either moto is stupid and just can't write the software or Google is trying to screw moto over! Come on now already! You can't really think we are that stupid! Google fixed the issue with a lock up of all the xoom's ability.

Agreed. I look forward to seeing Team Tiamat updates whether it has to do with their Rom or their kernel. There is a reason Tiamat is the winning team.
OP: Look into Team Tiamat's work if you haven't already.
Well teach me not to read! I updated and netflix works, I can use root explorer to access the sd card with my work. Lost the ability to use my 500gb hdd over otg. So actually I am more impressed at the speed improvement and scrabble works now. So my complaint now is with the ones posting completely wrong info. I'm sure I will figure it why my hdd isn't showing up.

There are actually important reasons the external sdcard was handled the way it is. Google didn't do it specifically to annoy you.
App developers (such as myself) will be updating to support writing via the new MTP method soon enough. Be patient.
It was all the reading I did. Loaded it and all is good. Lost my use of usb otg hdd support. Oh well still runs much better.

I just did the update 3.2 and i dont have OTG support at all. Also my calendar is messed up, for some reason it only gives me 1 date marked on the calendar.But really i have 6 dates. I downloaded a apk from this site so i can mount the sd card to read/write, the app works. But when i transfer my music from the xoom to the sd card (external 1) the music won't play on the sd card . Also this gave me the stock kernal anyway to go back to tiamat?
That's a good question. I am wondering if any other kernel would work?

Some apps that I've pushed to my external SD card suddenly show up as not installed and I then have to reinstall from the market. Any ideas what's wrong?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Right now the phone is having problems when you store any apps on the SD card. Make sure they are all stored internally and that should solve your problems.
you have 4gb of app storage, there's no need for apps2sd especially since it breaks the apps, sd card and everything else.
But for me such as with evernote the data is stored on the SD card and the app fails when the SD card unmount itself and I have to resync it.

never use the atrix 2 to format your card, do it with a card reader in windows
I'm on my 2nd Atrix 2. The first one had trouble with the sdcard as most of the people are writing about on XDA so I got a replacement. The 2nd one works perfectly with the same sdcard installed. In addition to fixing the sdcard issues, wireless works more reliably and call quality is better indicating they may have had some hardware quality control issues vs. software issues. If you're within your 30 days return period I would suggest getting a replacement.

I've been monitoring this and moved many of my non essential apps to my SD card for testing purposes. Then I set my phone so any updates to apps has to be approved, none of my apps nor is the phone auto update.
Worked fine for two weeks until I finally updated three apps. Then I lost 7 apps on the SD card

I'm trying to be patient for that update. But, it's a tough bone to swallow spending $65 for an SD card just to store MP3s on. It would be nice to have some sort of rough ETA from Moto on the update (i.e., before my 30 days is up). I'd try a Samsung Infuse, but that would be taking a step backward in video and processor.

Nope. I'm guessing that when Moto pushes out the update ATT will have to put their blessing on it and we all know how quick that will happen.

Try a warranty exchange. I promise the issues you have seen tylercarter, is not exactly what everyone else has, especially with google contacts disapperaing. If you bought it at ATT they are decent if you go into a store. If you bought it at best buy forget it, even 1 day past 30 day they will tell you too bad so sad. ATT took care of me three times even at 40 days, they let me switch to a different phone each time. That was back in march so.... give it a try.
I hate to say it, but fixes for this issues with the SDcard most likely will never come. Now if we can get the source code for this phone, then WE can fix the issue much like cyanogen did those type of things for many phones. I will definitely do the fix for it once we get that.

First of all this should be in the questions section. Second root is one-click and unlocking the device is done by simply installing the asus app and voiding your warranty.
Some questions
Sorry, I know that post isn't in de right section, but I have some questions with the same subject.
So, If I do root there is NO warrenty any more? even if it is a hardware problemem or somme thing like that?
Can somme one tell me please, wat is de max capacity of the usb reader, I mean, can I put a flash driver with 64GB for example?
The tab have a microSD port, I thing, but the docking have also a SD reader, so we can use 2 cards (one MicroSD 32Gb and one SD 16 Gb for example) together? If YES, how can i know were I'm writing my file, in internal, MicroSD or SD card?
----EDIT
I don't have the tab yet, I want to be sure if these tab will answer all my needs. Tanks
the internal storage is saved in /sdcard. MicroSD is in /Removable/MicroSD. I'd imagine SD card would be in /Removable/SD or something to that effect.
Tanks... But and about the flash driver... Wat is the maximum capacity, the tab read how much max?
Sorry for that ugly English

Manufacturer says 32gb. Some users have reported success with 64gb. I assume you are referring to the "microSD Slot" on the tablet itself.
Yes, tanks... But there is also a 2.0 USB on docking, so can I, normally put a pen drive? And how much is the limit of the pen drive?
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
The flash drive/pen drive slot is on the keyboard dock which is sold separately from the tablet. With the dock though, yes, you can put in a flash drive. I believe the limit is 32gb, but again, it's possible that it may accept larger sizes like 64gb. I haven't tried putting anything bigger than that though.
edvora
Well I got the TF300 today. I have to say it is by far one of the fastest if not the fastest tablet I have used. And I have used at least 5 in the last few months. And it has no backlight bleed which was my main concern. So far I am liking what I am seeing. The only thing that concerns me now is, no gorilla glass. I hope this thing has some sort of scratch resistant screen. Also why only the one speaker on the right side that is kinda lame. I can totally tell listening to stuff that sound is only coming from one side. Ok back to more testing...

SD card or not? I don't think is a problem, with a 32GB phone you have plenty of space. Now, if you like having a lot of music, photos, videos and movies it might not be enough. The SD card option is always welcome, after reading all of google reasons not to include a SD card on the nexus line up, I still don't get it. Is always nice to have some extra space.

You wouldn't have had to remove the sdcard. Just mount USB mass storage from recovery
adb push is only a minor inconvenience. You should be able to do it in your sleep.

None of my phones have had one, so while I may not know what I'm missing it seems I'm fine without it. Last phone was 16GB and currently at 32GB. I only ever keep a few albums of music on at one time, and I delete most videos or games when I'm done with them.
If I did use one I would make sure to buy the fastest SD card avaiable that cost 3x as much, as I would not want it to become a bottleneck.

32gb is definitely not enough. I need that amount of space just for my apps, and AT LEAST another 32gb for my music. That's one of the main reasons why I always have an iPhone as well- more storage space. I had the 64gb iPhone 5s and it was maxed. My 32gb N5 is maxed, and I don't have a single song on it. I can't stand streaming music.

I hear you, but Google Play Music is not bad, the problem is that you need to have internet to listen to your songs... but i wanted more space for my music, I have over 80gb of music on my PC and I wanna be able to play them on my phone without having to stream it thru Play Music
I have an old iPod Video (1st gen) that I se for my music, it has 120GB and it's almost maxed with videos and music
For me, Play music just doesn't cut it. Every file I've ever listened to from Play has had horrible compression artifacts. Spotify extreme quality is passable in a pinch, but I like my lossless files. ALAC on iPod/iPhone, FLAC on everything else.
