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

I tried to mount the sd card on my computer using the Mount button from the notification screen. The phone went through the mounting process and seem to mount the sd card correctly but nothing show up on my computer. I unplugged the phone and rebooted the phone but still the same thing.
Any ideas on how to fix it??
Do you have the debugging enabled? When I do I can't mount the internal or external on my pc, although it says it is on my phone. But when I turn off debugging it mounts fine.
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?
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
Hi when i try to delete anything off my external SD card it wont delete. i also cant copy things from my internal storage to sd.
When i plug it into my PC with my USB cable and try to delete anything it says the same.
I've just plugged it in to my PC with a USB micro SD adapter and everything works fine.
Does anyone know anything about this? I'm really quite confused
Check the card for errors/run chkdsk on it. (I recommend copying your stuff first as I have had chkdsk get rid of important files [that didn't seem corrupted to me, but what do I know]. This was only once, mind.)
If you look at the mount options for the external sdcard, you'll spot this: /dev/block/vold/179:49 on /storage/extSdCard type vfat (rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,
noexec,noatime,nodiratime,uid=1000,gid=1023,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,allow_utime=00
20,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro).
In your case, I imagine rw is ro. If you want to verify if your card is getting remounted ro because of errors, look through the output of dmesg.
Got it sorted, thanks. chkdsk was the answer. :highfive:
How do you run chkdsk on s3
How do you run chkdsk on an S3 connected to a computer? There is no drive letter to specify.

Happens quite often on SIII, not sure of the exact reason. And its not because of the mount option changing to ro.
No you can't run it by connecting the phone to PC. Need a card reader to connect the microSD to the PC and then run chkdsk
i think this is a possible solution
settings > storage > unmount sd card (wait for it to become safe to unmount)
then press mount sd card. you dont have to take the card out of the phone.
it solved this problem in my galaxy beam just now^^
yep

I'm having trouble with this. Cant figure out any way to get it to work. Problem is, Im having trouble with internal memory as well. Nothing wants to work.
Worked perfectly

Thank you very much...It worked great.
Sup guys.
I've installed the Verizon JB Leak following the tutorials around XDA.
Everything works great, booting fine...but i can't mount my internal storage.
I'm starting to have trouble for installing some apps - it just won't allow me to install.
Also, when i connect it to the computer like an USB Mass Storage, it keeps asking me to format it.
Is there anything i can do ? Maybe manually mounting ?
Thanks in advance.
Nevermind.
Formatted and fixed.
]Now i can't mount my SD card LOL (when connecting to the computer)
