SO I have had my prime for some time now and really enjoy the fact that I have a quad core beast that does alot. However, one thing that just gets on my nerves
is the SD and MSD situation.
Here is the issue, lets say I leave my prime closed for a while and then open it, select a file with root explorer and select move, then paste to the other sd card it will look like its pasting then stop. All of sudden my file is not pasted and also no where on my other card.
Second, sometimes when trying to copy to my micro sd it will say read only.
I figured it just needs to be unmounted and mounted again but this is getting stupid.
Sometimes I have to reboot for it to work right.
Makes me so mad. Now I understand why all my android phones had me remove the battery to get to the Micro SD inside.

I learnt a long time ago to never rely on a clean cut and paste between 2 storage devices. Same goes for network shares. Always copy and paste then delete source file.
Your problem could be related to your SD card. Have you tried the same process with a different SD card?
I have two 32gb micro sd and it happens with the external on the device not the dock. I switch them and same results. I also notice there are funny files showing up on the card too!
I can not delete them from the prime or pc. Very wierd. I first seen these in the music folder.

I ran into these "funny files" last night but I just decided to format all my msds to ntfs format

Yeah well it seems that with the external from prime it self has the issue. When I switch cards to the dock the card is fine again. I am going to install the normal stock rom and see if it helps.

I want to replace the 2gb memory card, with a 8gb. Is there anything special that has to be done first. Or can I just pop it in and go. Sorry for the newbness! And thanks.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
you can just pop in the new external SD card..
Many thanks!!

You can copy the 2gb micro SD card into the 8gb. That way you will get the. Avatar movie & other stuff you wanted to transfer. I wouldn't transfer everything obviously you don't need everything just the important things but that's up to you to decide. I hope this has been informative.
One more thing watch YouTube videos that's how I learn of this thing. Also read on the subject that u are trying to do by going to Google. Both goes hands & hand to get more knowledge.
Anyone know if there is external DVD drives compatible with the dock?

For what fun could be had in a terminal, maybe but I am doubtful about the stock kernel at least.
Also ofc, no Android apps are expecting it.

It's linux. If you manage to mount it, it behaves like normal folder (for example the one for microSD card or pendrives in Removable folder).
Yes but optical disks are used for more than just reading data disks.
I have an external cd rom and an atp, but don't know if it will work with my docks lone portand nothing if need to test with.

Have an LG GP10 portable sitting next to me, so I plugged it in. All the lights come on as you would expect, but then goes black.....No indication on the TF101 to say it has recognized it
There was a thread on Reddit about this last week...it doesn't work.
You think the kernel could be modified to accept a dvd drive
Does anyone use a torrent? For some reason I tried to dl a movie like I've done a bunch of times on my infuse and it was over 2gb and the prime told me it couldn't dl because file was over 2gb. Anyone ever run into that or have any idea what I can do to fix?

I use it all the time but I don't think I've ever downloaded anything that big. Sorry.
edit... whoops, i acutally use adownloader.
Try ADownloader, so far its worked really well for me. I haven't tried anything that large, but it shouldn't be a problem.
Also I just realized by the name that they might be made by the same person so maybe it won't work. Anyways its worth a try.

Just dl'ing to internal mem. Honestly it wont be a big deal. I was just trying to dl high def copy of the twilight movie for my wife (seriously for her...hate those movies...LOL). Normally 720p or DVD quality files are good enough for me. I guess I still would like to know why there is a 2gb limit. I don't think its the app since I use it on my phone and have done this before. It must ne the prime. Again. Not a deal breaker.

I use tTorrent the free version. Its awesome.
I've been using tTorrent as well.
Download straight to microSD. I believe the limit is 4gb, and thats because of the fat32 file system.

If you're running ICS, it recognizes both NTFS & exFAT formatted MicroSD's. Format your file system of choice using your computer & plug it in. ICS should recognize either FS. I've tested both & my MicroSD is formatted to NTFS.
Anyone know of a SD card reader for the transformer prime? I found one on Amazon but it was for tf101. Will this work or can anyone point me to one. Thanks

He's referring to the keyboard dock, it has an SD card slot built into it.

The SD card reader for the TF101 works great on the Prime.
Yeap the Asus dock is a wonderful card reader, also did you know that the Prime has a built in slot for a micro SD card already? I'm not sure what they're trying to do, but if a micro would work it will be an easy solution.
The transformer prime dock would be a rather big present for someone else, but if it's that kind of someone else, it will change their life. It's a full keyboard with a touchpad mouse, has full size SD card slot and USB slot which allows you to use external drives. It doubles as a case also kind of, it makes the prime fold up like a netbook.
I shoot a Canon DSLR camera that uses an SD card. While I'm out shooting I can take the card out of the camera and view the pics fullsize on the screen and also copy the files from the SD card to my external hard drive which is connected via USB.

Has anyone ran into a issue with their sdcard and their Note2?
Last night I used my Note2 with no issues. Woke up this morning and noticed I had a alert message saying that the sdcard had been unexpectedly unmounted. Couldnt get the sdcard to remount. The phone wouldn't/couldnt reconize thw sdcard. And even my laptop couldn't reconize it. But the phone reconized a different sdcard, so I know the phone reader is still working. But this is a Lexar 64gb class 10 xc sdcard. Not some cheap trash. I lost my nandroid backups, movies, pics, etc....
Just glad I wasn't running the Jellybeans v18 on the sdcard swap selection. Then I wouldn't be able to use my phone period. Lmk if you have seen these sdcards go out before. Just beware!!!
Why wouldn't you be able to use it phone if card goes down

What he's referring to is JellyBeans additional "SD Swap" feature which basically makes your phone see your SD Card as the internal storage. I don't know why he thinks his phone wouldn't work though, as with any phone the Internal Storage/SD Card is not required for the device to operate.

I've ran into this issue with Lexar jump drives and had to use command prompt in W7 to make them work again. It always happened when I would write a Linux distro to the drive to use as a bootable disk.
The fix requires you completely wiping the drive, which the two jump drives in question that I always have issues with are actually micro SD card readers with whatever size card in them.
Here is the link explaining how to fix it:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/219693/unable-to-format-usb-stick-to-full-capacity/
What I have to do though is select the disk drive and once in it I have to use the Create Partition Primary command instead of selecting a partition because on my drives there are no partitions and it won't even show up under Computer most of the time. Give it a shot and see if it gets you back up and running, if not you may have a faulty card that Lexar needs to replace.

I was reading, some people are problems with the scandisk 64gig cards. The card might be dead from what I've read. But don't hold it against me, just passing some info. I haven't ran across this problem.

I went through 5 sandisk 64GB cards before I got one that worked for more than a week. All brand new cards. That was back when the GSIII first came out though.

I myself used an adata 64gb class 10 and understand completely about the card just not wanting to work. Granted I'm keeping to 32gb class 10s until I see better reviews in the bigger cards.

See I've never experienced any issues with either of my SanDisk 64 GB Class 10 and neither has anyone else I know that owns one. I wonder if they had a bad batch?
I haven't seen anything about other manufacturers 64GB Class 10 cards having issues yet but it is either something to do with Class 10 cards or a bad batch.

I just had a sandisk 32 gig class 10, and a 16 gig both go out on the same day. One in my wife's note 2, the other in my daughters tab2. Neither was recognised in windows completely. I reformatted both, but 16 gig will show blank card on the wife's phone until unmounted remounted. Both less than 6 months old, on the same day. I blame the solar flares, what else can I blame it on?

I wouldn't say that, I would say they are the most expensive therefore people think they work the best. Cause everything that costs more is better, right?
Honestly PNY and Samsung cards are just as good.

How intresting. I just put in a 32 gig SanDisk Micro class I (has an I in the little U at the base o the card, guess it one ups the class 10...).
I record movie torrents. No problems so far on my Note 2 rooted not unlocked b loader

wife's 32gb card just started acting up. Sometimes the phone reads it, other times not. Haven't had time to investigate it yet.
Are you using moon rom v3? Same thing happened to me. It kept saying it was un mounting and remounting. I rebooted my phone and gave a sim lock message. Thought I was screwed. I flashed beans and now im back to normal.

How do you go about doing this? I have no original paperwork or packaging, just a dead 32GB Sandisk card.
call 1-866-SANDISK (726-3475) and tell them about your problems they will ask for the numbers off the card. They make you send your to them first then when they recieve it they'll send you a new one.
