Hello all,
I have a strange behavior :
32 gigs SD card unlocked
I can read write on PC but when I insert it into the SD slot of the Transformer's dock the property is switched to Read only.
If I take the same SD card and put in into a dongle and plug it into the USB slot : the property is now Read & Write...
Any hint please ?

Anybody at least has faced this trouble ?
What program are you using to access the SD card in android? Where does it tell you that it is read-only/read-write.
I know in root explorer there is a toggle for read-write/read-only.
Can't say I have the same problem as you, but I have my own SD card problem with the dock.

I haven't faced this trouble with an SD card, but I have tried to plug in a 8GB USB Thumb Drive to the USB port on the dock and the TF won't even recognize it. So there may be some bug there that might be fixed with HC 3.2 update
Also, I have used a 2GB SD Card in the SD Card slot on the TF dock and it worked fine for me. I have the dock with serial # B50KAS, running stock HC 3.1.
Hello,
I use ES File Explorer.
The same SD card inserted in the dock in the SD reader has a property : Read
If I use a USB dongle, insert the sd card and plug it into the dock, the property is then Read Write...
Tried with another SD card and it worked normally (but it was a 16Gb).
Soooooo weird.
I will wait for the next update to see if there is any issue solve on the SD reader... sounds like a little problem for managing high capacity SD card.

Anyone running Vegan build able to mount a USB stick to access files?
I've got a 50 in 1 USB reader that I am using.
http://tinyurl.com/22np2vq
Yep. 16, 32 and 64gb work fine for me.
Mounts memory stick without problem.
My suggestion would be to place the card into the reader first and then insert the stick into the USB port. If you do it the other way around i have had trouble.
Solved
Thanks for confirming. I did some experimenting. I originally had a micro SD card installed and tried rebooting and powering up from cold with and without the USB reader with no success.
I decided to remove the micro SD card and try the USB reader which worked great. Maybe there was something with the cached data preventing the USB reader from working. The red light on the USB reader was illuminated but it wouldn't mount it in /mnt/usbdisk.
After removing the micro SD card and inserting the USB reader everything works fine. I have them both inserted now and I can view all the files at ones from both locations
Thanks again for confirming.
hi sd experts.
i am trying to use an sd to microsd adapter mainly to connect my digital camera (sd card) on the road to my samsung galaxy i9000 (microsd slot). the adapter is built into a slightly bigger case of a 3000mAh battery.
problem here: the phone doesnt notice a card change in the sd slot. remounting is somehow "hardwired" to physically inserting/removing something from microsd, which does obviously not happen in my case.
manually unmounting/remounting the card from settings menu also doesnt work when changing sd cards in the adapter. android probably keeps thinking that you re-inserted the same card when nothing is physically pulled from microsd-slot. so if you remove an sd and insert another and try to mount from settings menu, it will either fail or mess up the file system.
what can i do to make this work? any unix commands to call to properly trigger a remount, just as when something is physically removed and inserted from microsd slot?
thanks,
joe.
somebody suggested to switch the microsd driver from handling card changes via interrupt to polling mode. anybody tried that? on my galaxy i believe it's in /sys/bus/platform/drivers/s3c-sdhci/
then there's a s3c-sdhci.0, a .1 and a .2 directory. which one would be the external microsd slot? and would adding a file "polling" with the contents "1" work for switching? does the android sd driver support polling at all?
so many questions but no answers... i guess nobody ever tried something like this on their phones
I have a 16gb micro sd card, worked fine, i formatted it to fat32 while it was in a phone that was connected to windows vista laptop. then when i took it out and put it in phone it wasnt recognised, so i put it in my friends android phone and it says it needs formatting, i click format but nothing happened, i put it into a computer it comes up as a removable disk saying please insert disk, when i go to manage on the computer and find it, only thing i can do is change the letter, and its coming up as 0 bytes. Any ideas?
Somebody must have an idea?
Try to format it under Linux.
If that does not work either, RMA it or throw it into the dustbin if out of warranty.
i only have a phone to put it in, i dont have a sd card reader, and when i put it in my n900 it doesnt come up under linux.
Shrug; SD card reader is given out for free with many SD cards... or borrow one from someone?
I have a sd card reader just not a slot for a micro sd, but surely if it doesnt come up on my n900 running linux then it wont with a card reader?

What slot? There are USB adapters, and there are miniSD/microSD to SD adapters for normal card readers (again, this is normally part of the package when you buy the SD card, where the hell did you get yours to get nothing of this?).
Do NOT try this via another phone, it simply is not useful. If the phone does not recognize the card, there is nothing for the PC to do. Phone attached via USB is NOT a card reader, it acts as a mass storage device.
Im trying a friends card reader tomoz but i dont have huge hopes.
Hi,
I can use my 16GB micro SD in the pad itself, but if I try to use a regular SD card it doesn't mount. Not even if I remove the micro SD. Is this a known issue, or is it just something with mine?
Cheers!
of what capacity is the regular sd card? I think (might be wrong) that the dock doesn't support certain capacities of cards. I have only ever used a microsd card in an adapter in the dock and that worked fine. Have you tried a reboot with the card in? can you see it in the file manager at all? I found that, when I can't mount a card, that switching file managers will work about 95% of the time.
I hope that helped a little bit
Hello everyone,
I have a basic question, maybe it's stupid, but critical for me because my laptop doesn't have an SD card reader.
Let's say I put a SD card in the phone, and then I plug the phone via USB to my laptop, can I access the SD card content and copy new things like music and photos directly from my laptop to the SD card in the phone?
Thanks for the help if anyone has tried it!

Typically laptops take full size sd cards while the Nord CE 2 takes micro sd cards. You would be better off buying a card reader that you can plug into your laptop's usb socket.

Thanks, but that was not what I wanted to know, sorry I didn't explain well.
I don't want to put the SD or micro SD card in my computer.
If I have a micro SD card in the Nord CE2, and I plug this phone via USB to the computer (just like we do to transfer files to the phone memory), can I access the micro SD card that is into the phone via the file system / explorer ?
Yes you can.
Thanks! Totally buying it then.
