Hello all,
I just received a patriot micro sd 32gig class 10 card! Its awesome. My phone reads it and I can move files in between the internal sd card and the external but when I connect it to my computer it will not recognize the card, just the phone.
I have also tried putting in my camera with the sd card attachment and formatted it under fat32 but that didn’t work either. Got any suggestions?
I'm just going on memory here and dont have a cable to test right now but it seems like the one time I did transfer files from comp to Atrix SDcard it was called "DCIM" or something like that.? Its been a while and I cant test right now so if Im wrong then sorry.
I'm just getting the MB860 under my computer... but under the Motorola media link it find the SD, just not under my computer.
Is it inside the mb860? Cuz when I click properties on that it only shows 10 his or so, and that's the internal

the card is probably formatted in a FAT format, which windows won't recognize if it's over 4gb. Format it for FAT32 or NTFS, and you should be fine.
It is under fat32. But I thought android can't read ntfs?

I may have encountered a hardware problem with my SGS2. Hopefully I'm wrong, and it can be corrected with software. Anyway, I have a 4GB MicroSD inserted into the phone, but it is not recognised at all.
Under "Settings > Storage" the SD card section says unavailable for both "Total space" and "Available space". The options for mounting and formatting the SD card are greyed out.
At first I thought the MicroSD might not be listed there, and instead was /sdcard/external_sd, but when I copied some files to that directory, they were not on the card when I checked on my old phone. I also copied a file from my PC to the card via my old phone, then searched, to no avail, to find it on the Galaxy S II.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Format the card via PC card reader . I just shoved 16GB card in and it works .

I have done that. It works in my Xperia X1i. Should I be using FAT32? That is what the card us formatted as, but maybe I should try ext4 or ntfs?

Fat32 should be fine, check the card for errors on your pc? I've just put my 16gb in and it's working fine...
Do you think it could be a fault with the phone? Maybe a damaged card reader? When the card is accessible, where in the file system is it found? /mnt? I know the internal storage is /mnt/sd card.
EDIT:
Never mind, I borrowed another MicroSD, which worked fine. The problem must be with the formatting of the card. Thanks for the help people.

I've just installed a Sandisk 64Gb MicroSD card, and formatted it on the S2. I previously had a 32Gb card. For some reason the new SD card is not visible on a PC when I connect in MTP mode - I can only see the 11Gb internal SD card. I'm running ICS (Resurrection Remix 1.1).
Has anyone else had problems with 64Gb cards?
Check in Applications (settings). There's a seeing there that might need changing. USB debug mode.

The phone was already in USB debug mode. I tried switching it off but I still couldn't see the external USB card

Windows 7 only gives the option of exFAT or NTFS (it was formatted as exFAT). I tried formatting it to FAT32 from the DOS prompt but it just hung at 0% complete.
???
Apparently there's a way to use ntfc on gs2 but the guy who mentioned it on XDA ,I can't recall exactly what he said. He's called trev186

Something wrong with your card reader or windows then as FAT 32 is the Windows default tested and formatted a card 30 seconds ago .

Must be a Windows problem. I just plugged the card reader into a Linux machine and was able to format in FAT(32). Both phone and PC can see the card now, but am having problems with the phone stopping responding while copying. Hmmm...

Firstly and most important point....any drive or storage media(external/internal) cannot be formatted to fat 32 filesystem if its capacity or size is more than 32 gigs......there are ways to format it to fat 32 but thats actually not pure fat 32....
Secondly s2 supports cards upto 32 gigs..i don't know how you actually are using it....it might not be giving you the full capacity of 64 gigs...(please confirm that)
So the case here may be that..either your sd card has been formatted to an unknown format by the phone that the pc cannot recognize when connected via phone...
So firstly please try re formatting the sd card with your phone and then plug it into your pc via the card reader...if your pc shows the option that the sd card needs to be formatted then...its true..use a 32 gig sd card or any compatible device...else try formatting it to fat 32 via usb extreme software (well google it)...
Else you cannot use it on s2 with ntfs format...cuz the s2 doesn't support ntfs...

When I formatted the card from the phone I got the "Blank USB Storage" notification immediately after the format was complete. If I then tried to copy anything to it using ES File Explorer (a file from the internal SD card for example) I got "copy failed".
I'm now using Windows Explorer to copy files onto the SD card (I was using Directory Opus before on the PC) and so far so good...
Hmm...did you try to use partition wizards to format your sd card via card reader?The partition wizard softwares are available for free if you do a quick google...format into FAT 32...I use EASEUS partition manager...

No I just tried the standard format options in Windows before switching to Linux and reformatting to FAT
Then maybe you should consider my method...

It's SD XC I (Class 6). All is well now after formatting to FAT on Linux - it's writable and now visible on the PC via USB
I looked all of the forums and google and didnt find a similar problem as the one I have. My msd card is recognized by my computer but I cant transfer files to and from my phone. Im trying to format my msd card to fat 32, but right clicking the drive from my computer (wimdows 7) , the format option is not available.
Is there a program I can download to format my sd card?

Get a MicroSD Adapter!
I strongly recommend that you invest in a MicroSD USB adapter. They're super cheap ($1.39 if you google "USB Microsd Flash Card Reader Adapter - Black" [I can't post links 'cause I'm a noob]) and easy to find. Mine has paid for itself 100 times over
If you saw my other post,its similar to this one? My question though is by default,what partition are SD cards set at? I had read thru other website searches,that it was exFAT? If that were the case than my android phone wouldn't recognize a brand new 16gb class 4 sdcard right? Than in which case I would have to format the card to a fat32 format?
If this helps,my ps3 also doesn't recognize the 16gb card but it does recognize the 8gb...I remember formatting the 8gb one to fat32 which by process of elimination makes me assume the 16gb card is on a format incompatible with my android phone/ps3...
Which software would y'all use to partition the entire 16gb card? I can't use my phone as my phone doesn't even recognize the card. As a matter of fact while in recovery it tells me there's an error in mounting

I am attaching a very basic Windows tool to format SD cards to FAT32, simple!
Is it possible that this sdcard came with a different partition that's inconsistent with both android and my ps3...ohh and I haven't ruled out the possibility of having a problem with the sdcard slot. I've had problems with the 8gb one working but its working fine now. They are two different manufacturers with these cards....maybe this 16gb card isn't partitioned with fat32....

Well I'm at finding solutions I have a problem with xda premiums default image upload application. I get an error message anytime I try to upload a screenshot...it tells me that I need to upgrade application from respective app store. This kind of error only happens when I select tapatalk hosted forum,any solutions?
I can't seem to get the mount or format in exfat basically I am trying to root the phone like in this site and video but keep getting pwn errors since i guess my sd card not exfat? Also when I try to usb hook up the phone diskmanagement not reading the sandisk sd card?
Take it out of your phone to format it.
