SD (not micro SD) Card doesn't get mounted after disconnected and reconnect to dock

Hardware: Both TF and Dock are B6O on 3.2 stock
Ok anybody run into this issue?
Disconnect Tab from dock and reconnect it after a minute back. At this point you should see on the bottom a prompt what said " Preparing External storage". Well not in my case! When i go to settings and check under storage the card is showing w/ 0 GB and the only option is to un-mounted / If you do so it prompted up w/ the message: " SD card fault occured". I have to shut down and reboot to re access the SD card. As well when i unmount the card, remove it and re-insert it dosn't do a scan. (I tried 7 different SD cards on the TF dock, and yes they all work on my PC!!!). Does anybody has that kind of issue with the SD card dock slot?

Try unmounting the card before disconnecting TF from dock.

I am pretty sure there is bug with mounting the SD card on the dock. The SD card is mounted and unmounted also when the tablet goes into sleep. I have found this process can completely lock up the tablet to the point where a reboot is needed.
Edit: By locking up I mean the tablet will no longer go into deep sleep.

Every now and then my 32 GB SD card just disappears. I just remount. It has happened less than 5 times...

Hmm had this issue before, but somehow after rooting and using custom roms, its not an issue

Well
You You shouldnt have to unmount the SD card all the time you disconnect the TF. You sent your TF to sleep it disconnect the SD in the keyboard, or just close the lid and reopen it, it will performed a scan of the SD card. In my case it does it sporadically butr if i disconnect from dock its like its connected half way not accessible but you see it under settings as explained above.

Thats exactly what happened. not even removal and re-insert of SD card makes the Volume accessible. Only the reboot does.

Today I tried a micro SD card in an adapter inside the dock. So far it has not created the problem. It could have something to do with SD card or the data on the card. I will test tonight to see if the Transformer does not lock up over night with the micro SD card in the dock.

That would be great! Let us know the outcome. What i said i tried a bunch of cards so the situation of a faulty SD card is cut out for sure. As well supply us w/ the first 3 digits of your dock please.

Enough Proof!!!
OK i lost alot of power to last night and i got this. On those 2 pix you see my TF disconnected from dock. dock is laying next to it but its still shows 2 SD cards are mounted in the TF task bar????????
Inductive mounting!!!!!!! Didnt know that the TF had that feature. LOL

is cwm installed?
in the recovery-mode is an option mount/unmount for several devices.
perhaps changing some of them may help.
two memory sticks in the dock and one sd and one micro-sd in the tab,
there may be four sings at all. every memory is able to make somthing
wrong. perhaps it´s possible to show a sign if a memory is not inserted!

I removed the SD card last night and everything was good, 2% lost on the tablet no drain on the dock. Are we really the only people having this problem? This is my second dock from Best Buy, I would like to know more before I get a third.

Dock Shipped back to Texas
I sent it back and talked again to the Asus Rep. They aware of the issue and got replacement parts for the epic fail construction. I made him aware of the sd card reader issue and made a note in the shipping box to that they will see my dock back in case of no fix

Did you send off for repair? Did they fix it? I have the same issue with the SD Card not mounting and only being able to fix by rebooting. If I am reading your post correctly you were experiencing some battery drain as well? Fixed as well?

Sorry didn't saw the post. I received the dock back. They fixed the draw but i guess the did't took care of the SD card reader issue. But i got a idea. I've noticed as well when the SD card symbole disappears and you dont see by opening or turning your TF on. Normaly it does the preparring SD card check. Well when that's not appears your SD connection is not present but here your homework. Next time it happened to you. dont turn the device off. Take several USB devices like a USB flash drive a MP3 player or your smart phone and connect it to one of the USB ports on the dock. Let me know what happened. (( I repeat, test that when you got the bug to show up and your SD card is in the dock but not accesable).

TF not connecting to PC / Can't get into APX mode

Used Nvflash to root a while back ago. Worked flawlessly.
Started having problems where the TF was not connecting up to the PC (both laptop and desktop). No problems charging. I know there's something going on cause when I plug the TF into the USB port, the screen comes on. When I unplug it the screen comes on.
Thought it possibly was the the ROM (Prime 1.7). Wiped caches and re-installed. Nothing. Wiped data & caches and re-installed Prime 1.7 from scratch. Nothing. Wiped data & caches and installed Prime 1.6. Nothing.
Everything works fine other than I cannot get the TF connected (detected) on the PC and I cannot get into APX mode. I'm sure they're related. Did a search for not being able to get into APX mode and found a couple but no help.
I can get into recovery and see the tf in adb. Don't know what else I should be looking at.
[Update]
Just got the TF back from Asus. Missed it sooo much.
The ticket inside said they couldn't find any problems with it.
By the time the TF was off to Asus, I got my extra charger and cable. Tried the new usb cable and bam, device found. Most likely I was in APX mode but due to the cable, would have never known. The odd thing is the cable charges both the TF and the dock perfectly. All that for a f-n cable.
Now I'm fighting with Asus to replace my cable.
I hope this finds its way into others having the same issue.

Are you trying with a Linux machine or Windows?
Make sur you have all the required drivers installed for windows. APX requires additional ones....
On linux you will not see the device automatically when in APX but you can execute the nvflash script

Unfortunately I only have Windows machines.
When I press Volume Up + Power, I get nothing. It doesn't detect there's an APX device in my device manager for me to even install the drivers.
Also tired Volume Up + Volume Down + Power and nothing

Went back to total stock and I still can't get into APX mode and can't connect to the PC.
Talked to Asus support and they're stumped. Was told they had to research and get back to me.

This just happened to me. I booted HC then went to applications. Disabled/re-enabled USB debugging, then I went to device manager on windows and clicked "Scan for Hardware changes". It worked after that.

Tried that method as well.
Sent it off to Asus on a RMA. Crossing my fingers

So this just randomly happens to me the day before I am supposed to sell it to someone. I went to nvflash it back to stock and noticed this issue. You said you restored it back to stock before you sent the RMA in, how did you go about doing so? I'd like to get it fixed so I can sell a functional unit.
Thanks

I'm also facing the same problem with my pc/laptop not detecting the TF101. The service center is of no help and they just give me the usual answers - try other pc, check the cable etc.
Moreover, I cannot go into recovery mode even with all the necessary drivers installed. Only a green droid with an exclamation mark.
I've no problem rooting the tf on older firmware. Wondering if the bootloader is locked.

I think it sounds like the usb cable as the op said it fixed his issue. I'm looking around for one to test on.

Im on prime 1.7 and just experienced difficulty connecting, but can still charge. I just started the troubleshooting and found this thread. Disappointed, yet happy that its probably only the cable.

Well do you get any response from your computer? Anything, like a sound? a error installing drivers? a unknown device? Are you using the docking keyboard? Also this may not be the case but make sure you dont have a USB hub or anything extra on it. You can also try connecting it to the computer and open device manager and click scan for hardware changes. See if something new comes up. I have a couple more extensive ways of testing but let me know if this helps.

[Q] No USB connection

So I hadn't really messed with my tablet in quite some time, but I recently came across a ROM I wanted to try (Team EOS 4 - Nightlies TF101 ). My tablet was already rooted running TWRP 2.4. I tried connecting my tablet to my PC to copy the ROM over to my microSD, but it would not recognize as a MTP Device. It would show up under USB Controllers in Device Manager, but as Unknown. I tried to reload the drivers, but was unable to get them to load. I just figured something was going on with my PC. So I copied the ROM straight to my microSD card and put it back in my tablet and flashed. Something went wrong (probably user error), because the tablet would't boot afterwards. So I thought no big deal, I'll just use EasyFlasher and take it back to stock. Put my tablet in APX Mode, but same thing. Unrecognized USB Device. Tried loading Naked Drivers, but it didn't see my tablet as compatible device. So I connected it to my laptop, same thing. So then I downloaded the stock firmware, put it on my MicroSD card, put the card back in my tablet and flashed it back to stock through TWRP. It booted up just fine, but I ran out of time to mess with it because I had to be at work. I just took my tablet and cable with me to work and figured I'd do it there if I got a chance. Later in the day, I connected it to one of our PCs at work, and now it wont ever recognize anything at all is being plugged in. Tried on multiple PCs and even brought it back home, and same thing. Tried to scan for hardware changes, and still nothing. What are the chances there is something wrong with my cable? I have rolled the cable up and carried it around with me in my pocket multiple times. The fact I can't get it to be seen as a MTP and / or APX device is what makes me think it could possibly be my cable. Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance.

Yeah first thing to try would be the cable. Sadly there's no other way to access APX than through USB. I'm guessing if you can push/pull using ADB or other tools, the tablet itself is just fine.
I bought this cable and it works fine for both data and charging, it just takes a long time to arrive.

Thanks for your reply Lethe6. I was able to get in-touch with a friend I hadn't talked to in awhile and use his cable (TF300) and it worked just fine as MTP and APX. I even flashed back using EasyFlasher. Also thanks for the link. It's worth the wait IMO. I was scared to order just any ol'cable and find out that it only works as a charging cable, and not data.

Sweet, glad it all worked out!

Phone will not connect as USB

I'm currently on Beans 13 rom and noticed that I cannot connect my phone to my computer via usb, all it will do it charge, I will not get a notification to use usb mass storage or anything like that. I uninstalled the drivers, rebooted my computer and phone, installed the drivers again and still does not give me the usb notification.
I then remembered that I did a nandroid on Beans 12 so I loaded that up and tried connecting to my computer and had the same exact issue. I took my phone to my roommate's laptop who also has a verizon S3 and tried connecting to his laptop. Still just charges, no notification.
I connected his S3 using the same exact cord to my computer and my computer recognizes his phone (although he is 100% stock).
I decided to try and Odin back to 100% stock. I loaded up Odin on my computer (Win 7 Pro 64 bit) and rebooted my computer into the odin/download mode and my computer/odin didn't recognize my phone. At this point I am at a lost. I have a suspicion that maybe the usb port on my phone went bad but in order to replace it with Verizon, I need to odin back to stock. Any one have any ideas?
I apologize if this has been covered before, I used the search and didn't see anything relating this.

I'm having the exact same problem with my GS3. The problem started after I flashed Beans B13 as well. I directly downloaded MDOB (it's a stock rooted ROM) and flashed it, but I am still having the issue. I haven't been able to figure it out either. Hopefully someone on here can help us out!

Well I think I solved the problem - at least for me. I tried the USB cable from my Dad's Droid X. Plugged the phone into the computer and everything works. No errors and the drivers installed correctly. I tried the cable that came with my phone (the one I have always used and has worked up until now) and it doesn't work. I get the error with it, but as soon as I use the one from the DX again, it works! Not sure why that is but I would say give it a try for sure! Let me know if it works for you too!
By the way, I got the idea from this thread:

Thanks for replying back! I meant to add a post. I got my phone working again. My roommate and I took apart the tip of my usb cable (the one that came with the phone) and noticed the green wire was broken off, so we soldered it back on and my phone was able to connect to my computer finally. Although it wasn't a strong connection and kept disconnecting.
For now I'm using a different cable from my hp touchpad and it's working perfectly fine so everything is all good now

That's good to hear! I guess both of our cables just went bad from use or something. Wish I would have tried another cable sooner instead of spending 4 hours installing and uninstalling drivers and wiping and installing ROMs over and over trying to solve the issue! :silly: But good thing we both figured it out! :victory:

I'm having the same problem as well...have now tried 4 different cables, hard reset, and every USB port on my machine and my buddy's computer to no avail. I verified the cables were 'good' on my buddy's gf's gs3 and it worked fine...just wont see mine. Charges just fine just no go on getting any data pass through it seems???
