I previously had the original Vibrant. When I would mount the phone to my Mac Computer it would show both of my Internal and External SD cards.
Now when I mount my new Vibrant 4g it only shows the Internal SD card. I have turned on USB Debugging and it still won't display the External SD card.
Anyone know how to get both SD cards to mount to my computer?
Btw...in the time past I never needed to download drivers or anything.
You are most likely only seeing the external SD card when you mount it to your computer as the Galaxy S 4G does not have an internal 16gigs like the Vibrant. So only the external 16gig is mountable.
Hi everyone,
I've recently bought samsung galaxy ace 2 phone. And my question is regarding the usb storage and sd card storage. I searched the forum, but couldn't find solution to my problem.
In Galaxy Ace 2, GT-I8160, there are 3 kinds of storage being shown in the phone settings.
1. SD Card (the external sd card, which I've myself inserted in the phone and it is of 8GB)
2. USB Storage which is 1.2GB (which was built in storage I guess)
3. System Storage (which is also of about 1.1GB)
We know in android there are some apps which can be moved to SD Card, not all.
In other phones like my previous phone was HTC, in that phone when I moved an app to SD Card, it was moved to external SD card properly. But in samsung galaxy ace 2, whenever I move any app to SD card, it is moved to the usb storage, and not to the external sd card. And we know the usb storage of this phone is only 1.2GB. I want my apps (which are movable) to be moved to external sd card. What I've noticed, this phone is recognizing the usb storage as sd card.
Even if you go to settings - apps - Sd card, it'll show you the USB storage of 1.2GB, not the storage of my actual external SD card (8GB)
Why is this so? Why is this phone recognizing the usb storage as sd card storage. Why this phone is not recognizing my external sd card as the sd card storage?
Your response will be highly appreciated
Regards,
Omer.
I have the same problem and I just don't know which is which so basically I can't transfer anything.
Do you have the same phone? Samsung Galaxy Ace 2?
I think this is how it works may be. It is treating the USB storage as SD Card and ignoring the external SD card.
This may only be the case with samsung phones, because in HTC, the external sd card was considered as sd card and apps were moved to it.
Anyways I've found the following link regarding this issue, I won't try the solution mentioned in this link, coz it required root and I do not want to root my phone

Try to install samsung kies then connect phone with usb debug on. Troubleshoot to reinstall your usb driver. If this dont work uninstall samsung usb driver at device manager abd connect phone and wait for the computer to make update. Restart pc after process. Ty

i use partition sd card : link2sd
I have been trying to fix this problem for a few hours now with not result.
Last night I went from an one click unbricked stock rom on my infuse to CM10.
Before CM10:
Normally when I plugged the phone into my computer two removable drives would be recognized by my computer but would not be accessible until I triggered the USB storage from the phone. When I do that I would have access to the 16gig internal SD card on the phone which is now sdcard0 and I would also have had access to the 32gig external SD card that I have in the expansion port.
Now:
My computer still has two removable drives pop up when the phone is plugged into the computer. However I can only get into the internal SD card on the phone. When I click the Removable Disk H icon for my external 32 gig SD or sdcard1 I get a please insert disk error.
To sum it up. I am able to transfer files back and forth between the two disks on the phone. I can access everything on each SD card. I still have an external_sd in the file list but it is now just a folder with a few files in it instead of the external sd cards contents being there on the stock rom. For some reason the phone isn't mounting the sdcard1 as its own removable drive when I connect USB storage to my computer.
I am going to continue looking for an answer on my own in addition to what ever help I receive here
Thanks for reading in advance.
Hi. I'm using my SD Card formatted as internal storage and yesterday my phone stop detect it I try to romove and put again, restart phone and it's not work. I have important data on this card, so anyone knows how can I extract them? External reader or something? Please help.
On windows, use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
It'll work when I formatted card as a internal storage (when you insert a SD card for the first time on a Marshmallow device, you can choose to either use the card as Portable Storage or Internal Storage)? That's main problem... And if yes, how can connect this card to PC when my phone didn't recognize the card?
Hi ! I am new to XDA...
My HTC 10's - SD Card (Sandisk 200 GB) with Adoptable Storage is Corrupted - Help Need...
As i was browsing my phone, one fine day, I got a prompt on HTC 10, that my SD card was unmounted, it instructed me to remove and re-insert my SD card back again...I did as per the instruction, but my HTC 10 fail to recognize my SD card...
After several attempts (removing and putting back the SD Card) the same issue persisted...
So what i did was, I removed & re-installed the SD card when i was in the Settings Menu>Storage..As i was inserting the card it Phone tries to read and it displays SD Card is Corrupted...
Since my SD card is configured as Adoptable Storage (SD Card as Internal Storage) some of my apps are missing...also my photos, video and other files are also missing...
Please help me, how to go about recovering my SD card...the right way..
I have a PC with windows Vista,so i tried to connect the SD card with an SDHC Adapter to my PC via the On Board Card Reader..It did not recognize... I went in to My Computer>Right Click> Manage> Disk Management> It shows the SD as healthy partition's as 16 MB and 183 GB...Without any drive letter...I tried to right click and assign a drive letter, I am unable to assign a drive letter in the Disk Management Console...I assume if i am able to assign a drive letter, I will be able to Run Check Disk from a Command Line to Check for and fix Disk Errors and hopefully recover my SD card data...
