Hello
I have a problem with connecting s2 to car stereo via usb. Stereo simply doesn't recognize it. I have music on my external sd which is formated in Fat32.
I suspect that issue is that radio doesn't support two mounts (internal and external sd) at the same time. (I have the same problem in linux, unitl I compiled scsi multi driver into kernel, which obviously I cannot do with my car stereo )
Is there any app or widget that would mount only external sd ?
Possibly without rooting....
Interested in if there's a way to only mount external_sd too - all my files are on external_sd, all my apps on sd_card. Not mounting sd_Card would mean they continue to work when I'm transferring files hopefully...
Anyone?

Since the sgs2 will usb mount as two sd cards, is there any way to mount ONLY the external sd card? (as that's where I plan to put the music files)
I tried the "multi mount SD" app - it had the right intention but unfortunately doesn't work, since even though it is not mounted the internal sd is still being read (like a card reader without a card in it)
so the headunit at the moment can only see the internal sd...
also found a "usb sharer" app which can limit what files to mount but it FCs and won't even start in sgs2
any ideas anyone?
Not to necro a post but this kindof helped me out and I would like to answer for anyone else who had similar issues.
I found my SD kept mounting two drives when I only wanted my external SD card mounted so I downloaded "Multi Mount SD-Card" (trial) from the market and it worked for me by changing "what SD card mounts" to "card two" in the settings.
FYI it requires root access.
I have a car stereo that is usb enabled and I would love to use my phone to store my music on and be able to play it through the stereo. The problem I am having is that when I plug the phone in I'm guessing my stereo recognizes the internal storage mounting first and won't pick up the 32GB Micro SD Card.
My Question: Are there any apps out there that will automatically mount the SD when the phone is plugged in, but not mount the internal storage?
I've tried the Auto Mount app, but that mounts internal and external both, I need something that ONLY mounts the SD card.
Thanks.
Not sure if this will work but, I know when you plug into a computer and mount as a disc drive, it unmounts the SD card from the phone for the computer to read. What happens if you unmount the SD card in settings, then plug in your phone? Like I said not sure if it will work, just throwing out ideas.

I'll give that a shot and see what happens. Thanks.

I think that will cause the same problem as the Auto Mount app though, it mounts both the Phone's Internal and External storage. I'm looking for something that mounts the SD Card only, not both. Thanks though, I'll give it a shot and see if maybe it will mount them in a different order.

Hopefully this isn't insulting your intelligence. But when your phone is mounted as storage, you should see /sdcard/ext_sd . This is a mount point for /sdcard2 so you should be able to access everything on your 32GB card via that directory.

From what I can tell that mount point only works when browsing storage through the phone, when connected to the pc/car stereo it only acts as an empty folder.
I have the same problem with my Galaxy S2.
I pinned my hope on an app called USB Sharer but unfortunately it won't run on my phone, you might wanna give it a try (cost $ though, the developer refunded straightaway when I said it didn't work on my phone)
Supposedly with that app the usb is emulated and so you can pick which files & folders to share
Hello.
Is is possible to mount only one of them when connecting USB?
On the PC its ok to mount both. But when i connect it to my TV it says wrong settings, because of the dual mount.
I just ran into this same issue trying to mount my music in my car. There is an app in the play store called Multi Mount which has an option to mount 1 or the other sd card. It worked for me. Hopefully it will work for your tv also.
Oh thank you. I will try it
Hi,
I'd like to know if there is any way of selecting mass storage mode only for external sd_card. When I conect to a PC or any other device, if I select mass storage mode, both internal and external storage connects, but I would like to connect only external one (the sd_card itself). Is that possible?
Just for the record, I'm using CM9 now, but I haven't found this option on any of the roms I've tested.
Thank you.
Just remove the sdcard from microSD slot and insert it to card reader ._.

I'm sorry, maybe I didn't explained it correctly... Of course, this is a way to access the sdcard, and I know there are some other solutions, but it's not what I was asking. I don't want to remove the battery cover each time I want to access the sdcard. I don't want to wear with me a card reader always...
There are some cases in which I'd like to use this feature. For example, my car stereo has an USB port. In case I connect the SGS2, both storage units connects to the stereo, but it only detects one of them, in this case, the first one (internal Storage). This has 2 problems, the first one is that I use the external sdcard for music storage, and the second one is that some applications that stores data in the internal sdcard stops working.
I know there are many other ways of doing things (using a usb drive, removing sdcard...) but I just wanted to know if selecting only external storage was possible.
Thank you.
I`m interested into this too...

I'm working on a tablet for a friend, running Android 4.1.1, just got it rooted, Link2SD running, SD card properly partitioned. Everything is good... except before installing Link2SD and partitioning the card, when I would connect the tablet to my PC by USB, and turn on USB Storage on the tablet, my PC would mount the tablet's internal storage from /mnt/sdcard and the tablet's micro SD card ... now that I'm using Link2SD when I enable USB Storage, it mounts the regular fat32 portion of the micro SD and the ext2 partition of the micro SD card created for Link2SD. Any idea why this is and how to correct it? I'm hoping there's a system setting somewhere that I can list which locations to share when turning on USB Storage mode on the tablet.
