I went to the motorola and this is what it said about the sd card
Insert your microSD card
Remove the microSD Card Slot tray located on the back of the device.
Remove dummy microSD Card and insert your microSD card in the same slot.
Insert the microSD card slot tray
Do I have to buy a sd card
Thank You
Yes. You need to supply your own card. A 32g card works well in my Xoom.

No, you have to format the microSD on a PC, no options are provided from the OS to do so.

I am not to computer saavy can you give me a description what I have to do now I got a 32sd card today.
Thanks
If you have a microSD reader, plug it into your PC and format it as FAT32...that's all there is to it. You may be able to do it through the Xoom over USB (as in plug your Xoom into your PC with the SD card in your Xoom), but I can't confirm that. You definitely don't want to format the Xoom itself though.
Once I do this, where well the sd card show up? I wish there was a file explorer built into the xoom

it will show up mounted in /mnt/external1
/sdcard or /mnt/sdcard is for the internal memory.

OK so I use Astro, and Androzip, and for some reason I can't get my Xoom to recognize the Sd card. I can access it through windows, but not at all through the Xoom. Is this just because I took the card straight from my phone and put it in the tablet without formatting it? Thanks

I have a 16gb s3 and 16gb SD card I wanted to either move my music or apps but I can't figure out how my phone recognizes the SD but for some reason its seems unusable. Is there some setting I'm missing or is my SD card corrupt?

not sure i understand your question exactly... but i can say that certain programs are not able to utilize the sd card in our phones. this was new for me coming from a motorola. the way samsung refers to the internal "sd card" vs your added external sd card is different so a number of programs will look at the internal memory as the SD Card instead of your actual SD Card.
that said, you can bypass this with a program the binds the directory on the internal storage that the program is looking for to a directory on your SD Card.
search my posts... i posted the link to the program (not mine) in another thread. it's working great for me with MOG. before, all my music had to be on the internal storage for mog to read it. now, with the directory bind program i have all my music on my external sd card and mog reads the files just fine.
hope that helps!

No, since the OS won't allow apps2sd because it uses MTP

Read this below.... The device uses MTP so it will not see your external SD card in the slot by ICS design...what you want it the UMS the USB mass storage where the device used the SD card to save data...but the Samsung now has 16GB internal storage so it presents a problem...
This app was written to resolve that issue... Also there is a link to explain this deeper than what I am doing....

Well I figured out how to get files from my Mac to my sd card using android file transfer. I transferred some videos and the stock video play found them right off. The only problem is that I can find the folder that there in using file manager. Its like a ghost SD card I can't find it anywhere but at least I can transfer and delete them now I just need my computer to do it.

It may be the way it was initially formatted. The only thing I can think of off hand is an sd card reader

Thanks for reply, I also tried with an sd card reader, it's the same problem. Could Nokia set a protection on the sdhc card ?? If yes, I've just lost an sdhc card to be used on other devices....

Connect your sd card to computer with card reader and start command prompt.
Type the following:
cd chkdsk [sd card drive letter] /r
This will Scan for and attempt Recovery of bad sectorsor
cd chkdsk [sd card drive letter] /f
this will Automatically Fix file system errors on the disk
Try these commands and see whether the problem is fixed or not/

SOLUTION :
In the nokia storage's options, just click for 2seconds on the SD CARD STORAGE and it will appear an list of option as "delete password". I've just deleted the password which was put to get an private storage. That's why i could'nt use my sd card on other devices.
Now i can use my SDHC card on all devices that support it

Yes. If you have a dedicated card-reader for your PC then it will almost certainly be quicker for transfering the files than using your phone in the middle.

g8.close thread.
What phone are you actually using? If you're trying to transfer files from your PC to your Phone, by using its USB cable should make the work easily done. But if its an older phone, a card reader is the best option that you can get. Just in case that you are using a smartphone that kinda latest or even not quite latest, you can try using AirMore. Its an app that you can use to wirelessly transfer your files from phone to PC and vice versa.

Necro-posting a thread that is SIX years old? Seriously? :silly:
hello, this is abdis,
I have an sd card that is 8 gb, and was working for many months, then the sd card suddenly stopped responding.
it starting being slow and deleting or coping files took 2 days just for 1 gb file.
I tried all possilble ways of formatting, but it just says ""cannot format drive".
is there a way to fix this problem?
Thank you.
also I forgot to mension that it is not from my computer, because i tried the sdhc on other pcs too, but it was still same.
thanks for your time.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Unfortunately it sounds like the sd card is bad. Try formatting it on your pc with a sd card reader. if that doesn't work then you'll need a new card.

I have a micro sd card 2.0 usb, i put the sdhc inside and it is still the same as in the sd card.
Do you think that the sdhc is bad?
I also tried using Chkdsk in CMD but after I write clean it loads and stays 0, it finishes while it is still 0.
Thank you, Abdis
