[Q] MicroSD Help Needed... - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
When I load mp3 files on a microsd, the native music app doesn't see them. It only plays files loaded on the internal memory. The only app I've found that will see and play files on the external microsd is Rockplayer. Is this normal? I have tried different cards and the results are the same. I haven't found any apps, except Rockplayer, that see the removable drive. Am I missing something?
Thanks

i just put all the music on a micro SD and the native music app found them. It took a few minutes for it all to load but I didn't have to do anything special.

I am having the same issues. I posted in another thread as well. This might be a bug? Let me know,what you find out

what is format on external SD. If not FAT32 try that

Same here but I format my MicroSD card and problem solved. I didn't use the quick format not sure if that made a difference, set it at FAT32.

I have another problem with microsd but didn´t want to open up a new thread.
Most of the apps like Polaris Office, Documents to go, Quickoffice don´t let me access the microsd. The standard path is /mnt/sdcard an there is no way to go back to lower levels.
Anyone has the same problem or am I just blind?
Regards
Hachdach

[Q] PowerAMP doesn't see my external MicroSD card?

I'm trying to play some WMA files on my microSD card, but I can't add those folders to PowerAMP. Any way around this, or any other apps that can?
I don't use it , but I just tried PowerAMP Trail and no I could not see /Removable either. You should email the developer and let him know. It was the same thing with a "fresh" install of Quickpic 1.1.3. I emailed him and in less then 4 hours he had a fix
Guys,
I contacted PowerAmp through the built-in feature and got reply within less than 24h. They sent me a new build of the app (380) and the Removable/MicroSD is now supported. However, I asked them again to add the Removable/SD directory for people who want to use the dock SD card.
I'll let you know if I can post the link to the apk or if they will make it an official update.
Max from PowerAMP is still working on including all removable media (/MicroSD and /SD) and will have an update in the market shortly. Apparently he does not want the beta build to leak so we all have to be patient!

I'm not sure if he updated it on the market yet. He sent me (and others) a version to try. The version number was the same,1.1.3. I see videos and pix on my /Removable with the version he sent me. All my vidz are .mp4's if that makes any difference.
I'll test the one on the market when I get home.
No He didn't updated it on the market yet. 1.1.2 did let you pick /Removable. 1.1.2 was a little difficult (for me) to find. I found it in rom on here some place.
EDIT: I don't know if you want too, but 1.1.2 was inside this rom "pinpongs-rom1.3.zip" and the installer name was "com.alensw.PicFolder-1.apk". I tend to do things the hard way lolol.
Got word from the PowerAMP dev this morning that he will post the update in the market today. However, to complicate things, I sent him info about the mounts when both USB ports have devices attached and both card slots are occupied as well All they need to do really is to add /Removable and sub-directories to the selectable media.

Quickpic 1.1.5 was just released.
I stopped using poweramp for this reason, I have just installed it again as I am a Full version user, and I can confirm that its working with microsd card support. The only thing I'm now disappointed with is the notification. When you use the built built music player you see that there is music playing, you click and then you are given buttons skip prev and pause/play.
i think im gonna email the developer and see if he can do that.

He already knows. Yesterday I sent him the mount info with everything connected (both USB ports, microSD and SD card). All they need to do is add the /data/Removable directory to the selection He's working on it!
Can someone please tell me how there getting PowerAmp to access the Removal SD Card. I want to move my music files off the SD Card but the Removal card is not found in the availabe folder paths.

Are you talking about the SD card on the dock or the microSD in the tablet?

To start I would like to use the music folders on the SD Card on the tablet. But knowing how to also use any attached storage on the keyboard which I do have would be appreciated.

I was able get mine to work using Partition Tool Kit and choosing SDCard0 as the mount point not extSDCard.

[Q] What's the best use for an external SD?

I'm asking this because I added an external SD a couple weeks ago, and can't seem to figure how to make the best use of it. I can't move apps to it through Apps2SD, and when I try to move my Amazon MP3 folder to it, that doesn't seem to change where the app saves new songs I download to my phone.
So what's it good for? Larger video file storage? Am I missing something?
I put music on my SD Card. What I need to know is what's the best use for the External memory that comes with the phone. Nothing is ever stored there.
There is thread in development about changing internal mounts that might be helpful

[Q] When SD card in slow response to on key

I have noticed that after inserting a 64GB class 10 SD card when I press the on key it nas a very slow response. The problem is not present when removing the card.
Any suggestions please? Is there a way to bypass this initial delay with the card in place?
Do you have lots of media type files on the card? Android will spend some minutes rebuilding the media storage cache. You need to let it finish. Also do you need to remove the card?
Mine's the same and there's hardly anything on the card. It must be a feature

[Q] Apps and external sd card storage on ICS. What gives?

Hey all,
I just rooted my ATT Galaxy S2 first time and I think the first time android phone in general. I have successfully got to where i want to be. I have internet tethering, uninstalled all the junk, I still sticking with base rom, as I am trying to figure out why CM10 would not boot up beyond loading screen, but thats another topic.
What i don't understand is why you would not be able to move apps to external storage sd card. I used to have htc, and was able to do that, but that was before ICS. I have done some research but not as successfully as i wanted to do.
I have come across "ICS SD Binder" on play.google.com. But I dont completely understand what exactly needs to be done. Or rather bit unsure which drop down item to select and how it might effect my sd card as well as how to move apps afterwards. I assume just relocating them into that folder.
So can some one tell me why is it such a pain to have apps on external sd card and may be point me to right threads on how to point to external sd card and move my apps there or how in general i can get my apps on my external sd card.
Much appreciated and thank you in advance everyone.
I just used grooveshark and audible for my listening and educational needs. Though audio books library isnt bad at 2 gigs. Audio files that i offline are about 6-8 gigs. And thats hits my SG2 internal storage limit : /
Much appriciated.
Why do you want them on the external? They're easy to replace. Store other stuff on the external
Edit: you can use tibu to move apps to the external, but they don't always work well there.

use app to sd on regular basis works great for me

I want to move audible and grooveshark to extranal sd so all their offline content which is about 8 gigs can reside on my 32 gig external drive.
AppMgr III (App 2 SD) on google play?
Apparently my external sd card not seen by that app only internal sd card. Which is useless....
apps2sd moves apps to internal sd not externl sd. dnt think there's a way to move to ext sd yet without assigning ext sd as internal sd and vice versa.
use search button there was a thread with this topic already

Actually this is what i was asking about.

Play Music cache

The cache for Play Music on my phone is getting to be too much and sometimes even becomes too big for the available memory I have internally. Is there any way I can get it to cache externally? Or have the "pinned" music to save to an external sd card?

Anyone?...
I realize googles basis for streaming your music vs storing it on the device, hence the lack of external storage options in their flagship phones (which is without a doubt the root of my problem).
My question is has anyone figured out a way to have the app pin your music to an ext sd card? I thought maybe having it installed on the ext sd would help but I want to know what you guys think before I do that (not that I know how, lol).
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Luckily it's in the settings settings>clear cache
Edit: read your question wrong, sorry. Try moving the folder itself
Edit: You can use a file manager to set the folder the music usually stores to to link to a folder on the ext SD Card
