Hello,
I have read through all the posts here regarding SD cards and so far here is what I think I know for sure.
Alpine supports upto 4GB SD Cards.
Filesystem must be FAT.
Alpine does not support SDHC Cards.
So here is my problem. I have purchased a SanDisk Ultra II 4GB SD Card. I have formatted it using a USB card reader from a command prompt to make sure it formats as FAT. But when I pop it into my Alpine it doesn't recognise its there.
I also have a Kingston 1GB SD Card & cheap OEM (PQI?) 2GB SD Card. These two cards work fine on my Alpine and in my Canon Camera. The 4GB SanDisk card works alright in my camera too. So I am bit stumped at why my Alpine won't 'see' it.
Anyone have any ideas on how to force the Alpine to look for the SD Card? Or any other suggestions how to get this thing working?
Thanks,
Stéphane
Some 4GB cards are SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) and some are not. The Alpine does not support SDHC cards, so make sure you get one that is not SDHC.
I'm aware of SDHC Cards. Usually they have it quite clearly printed on their sticker that they are SDHC. This SanDisk Ultra II 4GB Card is definately not SDHC. I have the original box and it would have mentioned it there or in the instruction sheet. I had read about how the Alpine doesn't support SDHC before I purchased the SD Card. So that is not the problem.

I have insert microsd on adapter, on a cel, on a notebook, but nothing has can format the memory. The device is not supported. Why?
What kind of card and card reader you're using? If it is microSDHC card, make sure it is FULLY compatible w/ the card reader.
My laptop and peripheral readers do not accept a microSD of any size above 2 gigs. All have been updated to no avail.
The latest 8 gig Sandisk microSD will format by using the Sandisk "MicroMate USB" read/writer plugged into a USB 2 port. I need to use the adapter (microSD to SD) as well as their MicroMate adapter.

Mack5305 you have reason! You are the best! I have insert my microsd of 4gb in the sd adapter and next i have inserted the sd adapter in MicroMate adapter and the card is read correctly!! I have format her!! Very thanks!!
Did anyone try OTG on P9 and if it works? There is one thread where someone confirmed that it works with ADATA UC 350, but I am wondering if USB host via OTG cable works as well (where you plug in keyboard, mouse, usb flash drive or hard drive).
I am also wondering if it would support 200gb microsd card in exFat format. Can someone test this? Even if you have 64gb or 128gb microsd card you can still test it to see if card is recognized in exFat. Since device supports microsd XC standard, which is from 64gb to 2TB, I don't know why offical statement is that it supports only cards up to 128gb. It should support 200gb as well, since they are both microsd XC standard, no?
I am using an OTG usb c cable and it reads my memory stick. Not tried any other peripherals like mice.
Not sure about the 200gb. I have a 128gb micro sd that I have set up as adaptive storage.

What format is your memory stick? If it is FAT32, can you format it into exFat and NTFS and tell me if it still reads it correctly?
It's fat 32 I believe. Sorry I am not able to as it's a 128gb stick and it's pretty full with works files. I have a surface pro and not much else storage I'm afraid.
I tested my 64gb usb flash drive formatted in exFat on my friends galaxy s7, and it looks like it supports it natively. If I test the same usb on my nexus 7 2013 (marshmallow), it says that usb is not supported. Can someone test exFat on Huawei p9?
I have an exfat microsd card in my P9.

What size? That means that Huawei supports exFat format, which means it should theoretically also support OTG exFat usb flash drive, I guess.

128gb. TWRP doesn't recognise it but the main OS does.
I have purchased a new Galaxy Tab S2 with the idea of using it to transfer photos from my DSLR when I travel. Tried it out and was disappointed to find out that there is an annoying snag. Here is the sequence of events
Moved my class 10 micro SD from my Sony Tablet to the S2
No problem, I can review all folders and content on the card.
Connected my Pentax K30 with a class 10 16gig SD card on board using the Pentax supplied USB cable and an adapter (non Pentax) to match the USB port on the S2, camera set to PTP
the S2 reports that the SD card is corrupt.
Removed the SD card from the camera and connected using an SD card reader
the S2 reports the card as Pentax USB, but displays two of them with identical names
When I open the file it displays the directory of the INTERNAL MICRO SD card and not the directory of the SD card in the card reader?
If I remove the internal micro SD card
the S2 connects correctly both through the camera direct connect and through the card reader correctly
If I replace the internal micro SD card with a class 4 card
the S2 connects correctly both through the camera direct connect and through the card reader correctly
There seems to be conflict running two class 10 cards at the same time on an S2, what gives?
Eh, what file format? ExFat, Fat32 or NTFS?
NTFS is not supposed on Samsung stock ROM.

Or perhaps your class 10 micro SD is not fast enough for the internal SD card slot.
Also, what is the file system of your SD card(s)?
Last but not least, what file manager did you try?
(Usually, exFat works best on the s2. But of course Fat32 is supported as well. NTFS on the other hand, nope.)
Yes, I said it and I am looking for it. One end needs to be USB C that connects to the phone. The USB C connector needs to be connected to a Micro SD Card reader using a super thin ribbon cable like they use to plug the battery of the phone into it's circuit board or a laptop keyboard to its motherboard and work sort of like and OTG cable, only it has a card reader on the end.
Why? I want to mount a second Micro SDXC Card semi-permanently to the phone (I can always unplug the card reader) but since the Emperor Edition is NOT being sold in the USA, I am going for 64GB internal memory, 256Gb in the internal card slot and 256Gb through the USB C connection. (When larger cards are available, then they will be replaced).
The reason for the ribbon cable, is I want this as small and flat as possible, no casing or housing around the external card reader so I can slip my case over it and it will be protected by the phone's case.
64gb + 256gb + 256gb = 576gb of space
64gb +400gb + 400gb = 864gb of space (New Sandisk memory cards)
To bad they haven't released the 2TB MicroSDXC memory cards yet..... and yes, I will fill the space. Don't worry.
Did you find one?
