I have RC1 of CM7DX2 on my phone. I have USB Debugging enabled. When I switch the USB Connection mode from "Charging" to "Memory Card Access", all I can see is the internal memory card. My external never shows up. If I remove it from the phone and put it into my card reader, I can see it.
Is this an issue with CM7DX2? I didn't have this problem under Eclipse 2.1.
My card is a 32gb class 10 card.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Figures. As soon as I post this, I figure out the issue. Apparently, the SD card has some errors, so I'm going to copy everything off, reformat and see if that works. I'm beginning to wonder if the card is going bad. I had some errors before, and I ran a check disk on it. Maybe a reformat will fix everything.

I've looked at the other threads on this but, none seem to match my problem.
I've a 16 GB MicroSD card in my S2. S2 is not-rooted running stock ROM.
This card used to mount ok. It no longer will.
In Settings->Storage, space reported is unavailable (because it's not mounted).
I can run Format SD Card option which returns quickly.
Running Mount SD Card, it's says Mount in Progress but it never completes.
If I put the card into an SD card reader, it looks fine. FAT32 formatted card, with approx 16GB available.
Any ideas?

I had similar problems with two other sd cards.
First running without any problem, and then suddenly the message appeared that the sd card is empty or not connected.
In both cases, the sd card was broken.
But in my cases, the sd card could not be used in a USB adapter by PC either.
As the sd cards were nearly new, I could make a warranty replacement and now I have got a card which works fine for about two months.
You can check this, by switching the sd card into another phone.
And use another sd card in your phone.
If the other card will work in your phone and your sd card will have issues in the other phone too, replace the broken sd card.
Good luck !
P.S.: You should format the sd card with your phone and not by your PC.
Other MicroSD Card works

Thanks for the response. I should have said that another 4GB card worked in the phone ok. This did lead me to think it was a card problem. However, he fact it works via a PC indicates otherwise.
Will try it in another phone.
Just throw it away?
Has anyone seen this before i.e. not working in phone but ok in SD reader?
If so, did you manage to resurrect it? Or is it time to throw it out?

Try this. Settings>Application>Development
Check usb debugging.
Connect phone to pc. In notification bar click "usb connected" message, and click on "connect usb storage" button. You won't see the sd card mounted in pc!
Now disconnect phone, reboot. It might mount
See if there's any luck.
Since you're not rooted, solutions are quite limited in numbers

Tried disconnecting and rebooting in 2 senses of the word
1. Hitting the disconnect usb storage button on screen
2. unplugging the usb cable.
Unfortunately, neither worked.
i'm having this problem now both on internal and external sdcard... it wont even mount on recovery... i'll try see if i can this done.. Windows damages everything.. i made a cleanup of the sdcard and a format..
I have a small 4gb microSD card that i had from my old phone and have been using it on the Atrix. I want to get a bigger one but seeing as I have this one now I wanted to format it and use it for backups, etc. It's been working find in my Atrix until just now. I formatted it using the Settings -> Storage -> Format SD card option. Now it will no longer mount properly. I have rebooted the phone a few times, removed the SD card and reinserted it, etc. It recognizes the card and says "Preparing SD card. Checking for errors." in the notification area. But it never completes that and mounts it.
Just now it said "Damaged SD card. SD card damaged. You may have to reformat it." So i tried again to reformat using the phone, and it still will not correctly mount. I'll try some more things, but wondering if anyone else has had this happen or knows of a solution. Thank you.
Problem solved myself. lol. I placed the card in my laptop and saw it was a mess of garbage files. Weird. So I formatted it on windows, then put it back in my Atrix, and all is well. heh.
I pulled my Sandisk 8gb class 6 from my old Samsung Android. I even formatted it after pulling the data I wanted to keep. Powered off and installed it, reboot. Plug in USB and connect it as "disk drive", copy files from PC. Disconnect, phone says "preparing SD card" then "memory card unexpectedly removed" and shows unavailable in the storage section of settings. I've rebooted, removed card, reinstall, reboot and it shows again. Then it will do it again after connecting to the PC. I've even reformatted, and it does it again.
I went through the full process listed above for the fourth time, and have been able to connect and disconnect to the PC copy files two times without an error.
Any ideas? Thanks!

My wifes card had the same issue. I looked at the card while plugged into my PC and saw some strange files in the root and deleted them. Though you formatted so I am not sure if you would have them. Once I deleted those files (they were hidden system files) her card worked fine. You may need to make sure you can see system files on your computer though. Might be worth a shot.
I had the same issue...actually with 2 different cards. One 16gb and one 2gb. They worked fine when pulled from the GS2 they were in. Once in the Evo lte they stopped working. Put them in adapter to computer and again kept disappearing. I finally said screw it and started using internal storage. I have yet to get a sd card to work.
I plan on taking phone in when I have the time.
im getting the same thing with mine. beginning to think they arent as compatible as people let on about
Picked up the sandisk 32GB class1 UHS card from newegg last week. No errors or other issues.
When I had the original evo, I bought a lexar class10 32GB card. I had strange issues with it. After a few days of use, the phone would drop it (unmounted). Given that my email and other apps make use of this storage space, this was unacceptable. Got a no name 16GB card class2 from a friend and had no further issues.

anyone else have any thoughts to share? I sent my card back to Newegg for a replacement
Dear XDA'ers.
I've had an S2 for a while now and I've been running CM9 since early alpha. Recently I decided to buy an SD card (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005FY61EK/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00) so that I can use it to store my movies. After I got it, I realised that MoboPlayer or AirDroid couldn't detect the SD card and the only way I could put something on it was through a physical USB cable. Now, today I wanted to try something but I found out that my phone doesn't show the SD card at all anymore. I tried taking it out and putting it back in several times as well as flashing the latest CM9 nightly but nothing happened. The only apparent difference that I can see when I put the SD card in is that in the Storage section in Settings, under the SD card tab, I have an option "Mount SD Card" but when I press it, it says preparing SD card yet nothing happens.
Is the SD card fried or what's wrong with it?
I've had the SD card for less than a week so its hard to believe that it's dead already.
Have you got a micro SD card reader that you could use to see if the card is fried? Connect it to your computer, and if it shows up it isn't fried. Also check the format of the card to make sure it is in FAT32 format.

Ahh, I know the problem now (I completely forgot about this).
I formated it to NTFS just before I stopped working since I assumed that it works the same way a USB does (but clearly, I was wrong).
I'll format it back and see what's what.
Have u tried going into settings/memory/left softkey/storage config and select the only options there is?
have you tried other system folders?
i had the same problem before, I found out my sd card mounted as a system folder called "emmc" I'm using resurrection remix rom 2.3
Yep just fixed mine today by downloading https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.qbanin.binder&hl=en if you are unsure of what to select just see the screenshots i followed this selections and it now works fine
Alright, I've fixed it.
Basically, I had formatted it to NTFS because otherwise it gave me some error about file (the file was around 4 gb's and it acted this way with anything over 3) being too big when I was trying to copy it onto the SD card. Now that someone said it has to be in FAT32, I formatted it back and now it works perfectly.
Thanks to everyone who helped me.
Hey guys, I'm gonna try to explain this in most detail. Yesterday spontaneously my External MicroSD card couldn't be detected by my phone(Vibrant SGH-T959). First I thought a simple reboot would work although it failed. Second I have tried unmounting the SD card, and putting it back in and also didn't work. I decided to switch from my JellyBean 4.1.1 ROM back to Schimera v2.2 ICS. I thought the rom was causing the problem, although the problem continued on ICS. I have tried turning my phone off, taking the SD card and all of those combinations and none of them worked. I tried turning on and off USB debugging mode which didn't fix the problem either. I tried using the Computer Management to see if it detected at least my SD card and it didn't. The only way my SD card was actually red when I used a MicroSD adapter. I formatted the card from there and tried all of the solutions again and nothing worked aswell. So now I know that the SD card is working fine but just none being detected by phone or through the USB cable. So I decided to go into my settings > storage to find that my internal storage is only 1.85GB, my model is the 16GB version and I checked previously before. As I scroll down I realize there is something called USB Storage right underneath it and it says 12.67GB which is supposed to be the amount for the Internal SD card. This part is why I'm horribly confused. Also underneath that there is the SD Card and it only displays one button which says Mount SD Card which is disabled when I put the SD card in or out. I tried the option on top for Erase SD Card and it didn't work either. I looked through quite a few threads on this forum trying the ways I mentioned in this thread and they didn't work. Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you
*NEW* I just installed DoubleTwist from the android Play market and when I went into settings and tapped on storage this is what came up: Internal (0.0GB) Memory Card (12.8GB) For one, my phone has 16GB internal storage, My memory card is only 8 GB. *NEW*
*NEW TEST* I tried putting my microSD card into my sister device and it worked on hers, I tried putting her SD card into my vibrant and it didn't read it either!*NEW TEST*
Your 1.85 is the part of your 16gb Vibrant that us partitioned for apps. The 12.67gb is your internal SD. And your other setting should be your external SD or emmc card.
When you say you can't see your external are you looking at external and it isn't showing anything with a file explorer? Try looking in your emmc folder. Have you tried another card?

Thanks for clearing that up for me, and I can't access my card in the file explorer either. I don't have an EMMC folder and I tried going into recovery to "mount emmc" but it just gave me an error. Also I did not try another card because I don't have one lying around.. Plus when I rebooted my phone in the notification menu it says Checking SD card for errors and then it disappears. There is no message once that one leaves.
