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

can you use a micro sd with the adaptor cards on a xda2i?
and if so would i need any softwear on there to install programs of the mem card
SD / miniSD / microSD all have the same basic interface so as long as you are using the adapter (which basically just extends the metal contacts on the card) the device will never know the difference.
One thing to remember is to make sure you do not by SDHC card since your device can not support this new format.
As for installation no special software is needed. If the card is inserted in the device you will be asked to install there or in main memory.
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.
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.

Hello I an running a Droid Z2 Force. I have several cameras in which store pics/vid on SD cards. I generally use the Samsung EVO Select 32GB cards. I have a USB C to USB A 3.0 adapter. And a USB 3.0 card reader.
I have been using the native File Manager version 4.0.27.
I transfer the pictures from the SD card via the card reader to an SD card that resides in my phone. Also a Samsung EVO Select.
On multiple occasions I have experienced file loss. I perform the file transfer with the native file manager by selecting the folder on the SD card that is in the reader, selecting move to, selecting the folder on the SD card in phone that I want the files, and selecting paste. Occationally once completed the folder with pictures/videos is not on either SD card. They are totally lost.
Also the transfer speed is extremely slow. Painfully slow.
What is the best file manager for USB OTG file transfer like I am doing? I want something reliable that won't loose my pics. And something that will xfer quickly.
Also does it matter if I use Fat32, NTFS, or exFAT for the SD card? Currently I believe I'm using Fat32 but I will have to double check.
If I have left out any needed information please ask and I will supply it.

Use the 'copy' function instead of move, could be damaged sd card, bad card reader or anything.
