I have a SanDisk 2GB Ultra II CF Card (that I purchased from a Staples) that I use in my PDA. I have a built in card-reader in my PC, and I use it to transfer files >> CF Card >> PDA. I formatted it in FAT32. I tried to transfer about 700MB of music that I own on my PC to the memory card...well, it worked, but it took 20 minutes just to transfer 700MB...when I should be seeing at least 3MB/sec. transfer speed...also today I transferred 17MB of map files for GPS use...and it too 35 seconds for 17MB of data. I haven't used an external USB Memory Card Reader...
But in ya'lls opinion, is something whack with my memory card? Or could it be the internal reader/writer? ...it never gets stuck during a transfer or anything like that. Transfers just fine, except it is slow as can be.
Thanks in advance.

I have my internal 16 gb all filled up about 95% and I bought a micro sd card which arrived today.
I began transferring media to the micro sd card under /removable/microsd/ and was able to transfer about 1gb so far of the possible 16gb.
i noticed when i would start a file transfer, i would get a pop up message saying the file "may be copied to the device for storage or transport use only. it is not supported for use on the device itself. if possible, use a media program that can convert the file before copying it. if you copy the file now, it will be stored on the device, but may not be presented in the device user interface."
however, i would get an error after saying theres not enough free space on the device when i began transferring my media.
wtf is going on and how do i transfer my media to the micro sd?
plug it into your PC and copy it to your PC then to microSD
yes, my tablet is hooked up to my pc. that is wherein lies the error messages i'm getting.
so it looks like when i cleared my micro sd and my internals and tried again it worked.
1) first i loaded my media onto the micro sd first
2) then i was able to transfer media to my internal storage
i find this strange because i was having errors loading to the micro sd card after my internal storage was filled up.
Where did you bought the microSDHC card? Did you tested it to full capacity and see if it's genuine?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I also get a message when trying to copy files to the microSDHC card (inserted in the TF) from the PC, but I just click to continue and they copy just fine.
yeah its real. transcend 16gb micro sdhc class 6 straight from amazon.
before i just bypass the message notification (hence loading about 2gb of media onto my micro sd).
when i tried to transfer more, i would get an error saying my storage was full. seems to be fluky.
I have both a Vibrant and a Galaxy S 4g. The Vibrant had a broken screen and I got the 4g while waiting for parts.
On the Vibrant, when I connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable, Windows shows two external drives, the internal SD card and the external SD card. On the 4g, Windows only displays the contents of the internal SD card. I used the same external SD card on both phones.
I have tried reformatting the external SD card but it still does not show up in Windows Explorer for the 4g phone.
the sgs4g will only display 1 drive and that should be the ext sd card it does not display internal.
vibrant shows two because the internal is 16gb and it show external cuz its an ext sd card
The one it displays looks like the internal sd card, because the external card just had music and some backup files on it. The phone seemed to be seeing the external card though, because all of the music was there.
you only the external memory on the sgs4g. all of your music is stored on your sd card, which is why you can see it.
I bought sd card few days ago
i have a lot of stuff on it
its connected to my keyboard
whenever i connect my keyboard to my computer i see how much memory i have on my micro SD on my Internal storage but not on my SD and i cant transfer anything to it
any thoughts?
Not sure where to go in the phone to make my pics and music go to the as card ?
