I have a brand new XDA IIs and I just find it impossible to access the memory card, The O2 instruction book is useless. Can anyone tell me how to access the card. My friend has an old XDA and he can see and write to the card no problem so I know it is not a faulty card.
Thanks
Where are you looking for it?
Does it appear in the memory section of the Settings area?
Also, when you open file explorer and navigate to my device - you should see a Storage Card folder.
If its not there, try soft resetting the device and try it again.
Looking all over
Hi, if I use the file explorer I see storage but it only shows the internal memory, same in system when I click on memory only shows internal and not the card, yet the card works fine on my Mio pocket pc? Hope you can help

I hope yours is not a unique problem pertaining to your device. Else it might be a faulty SDIO slot. Did you test with another SD card?
Your SDBUS driver is designed to support detection of SD, USB, CF, CDROM, DVD and Hard Disk, and it should be ACTIVE under the registry entry HKLM\Drivers\Active\X (where X denotes a number) with
"Key"="\\Drivers\SDCARD\\SDBusDriver"
Perhaps you can ask the others for a copy of the CAB file to reinstall the SDBUS drivers?
Worst come to worst, you may have to rely on your warranty support.
Problem solved
Don't have the answer as to why, but my 512 SD works fine. The 1GB works in a friends XDA but not in my IIs.
Thanks to the two of you that offered help.
I have an issue with my new SD cards as well, but its in a Himalaya.
The problem is a very poor performance of the SD card in real life.
The benchmarks I ran show a good performance, but when using the card my Himalaya frequently locks up.
See this thread.
As I have the issue with at least 2 cards (Sandisk 512MB and Extrememory 1GB) and I do not have an issue with my Kingston 256MB I am suspecting the slot itself . . .
Hi there,
I just replaced my microsd card as the first one I had died a death. I've copied all the files over from the old one (backups - we love you!) but the phone is seeing the new card as Storage Card2 and thus none of the apps can see their data files and the apps installed on the old card won't work! Is there any way to make the Kaiser see the new card as the old one?
Thanks
Usually that happens when you save your IE cache to your SD card or something similar like email attatchments. When you remove you SD card it creates a folder on your phone and names it storage card. The easiest way to fix it would be to remove the SD card again and then delete the file called Storage card and then shut your phone off and put the SD card back in and reboot. It will then move the IE cache or whatever caused the problem back to the SD card and will only see 1 storage card again.
This is likely to be a recurring issue, though. If the SD card is put to sleep, it won't wake up quickly enough for apps that are writing to it. This is typically an issue when you're directing mail and/or attachments to the card rather than memory. Unless you really need to (due to space), it's easier to avoid the issue and just keep them on the device.
Hi,
I was wondering if there's an option somewhere to save sms to sim card instead of the internal storage. I want it to save to sim card until it's full and then start saving to storage. This was how it functioned in my previous Nokia phone.
If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Not on the SIM and not on the Internal Storage too! WinMo is designed to store them on Main Memory only to which it considers reliable and have access all the time unlike Storage cards. Power to Storage cards are shut-down when not in use to save battery!

Carty..

If you have a card reader use that.
If not Connect over active sync and then "Explore" the phone and browser to the storage card and copy the files to your desktop.
You could also use an app like Card Export to speed up this process.

Tried to download some files but I had to download it to phone's internal memory and then move it to sd card, since the phone doesn't allow to write to sd card.
and another problem, I bought an sdxc 64gb sd card. there's another way to transfer files from my pc to sd card in fast speed? should be like 40+ mb/s and it's transfering files around 4 mb/s, guess it's the lack of usb 3.0 port on the phone.
any faster way other than buying a usb 3.0 card reader?
airdroid and another wireless methods didn't work for me.
Thank you guys.
You're limited to what the phones USB controller allows you to communicate with it, and I suppose it used MTP anyway which is utter crap and slow.
As for downloading directly to SD card, it's impossible because Google put SD-card access limitations in it since KitKat. No worries however since Android L should re-enable those permissions again. (Apps now can only save in their own specific directory on the SD card in /sdcard1/Android/data/com.vendor.appname, so you better wait a while. If you absolutely need to move things between your SD card and internal memory to your own folders, the built-in File Commander has permissions to access your SD card fully.
You can d load files directly to your SD Card.
Settings> Xperia Connectivity > USB Connectivity> Wireless Media Transfer
You'll probably need to install the PC Companion software, and make sure that your screen time-out/stamina is off while it pairs for the first time, but then you can d/load files to your SD card.

tried that, it gets stuck and if I unplug the phone it says something about firewall and upnp, tried to disable the firewall and still the same.
No, it doesn't stick, it just takes a *very long time* to pair (once it is, it's fine) and you MUST make sure your display doesn't time out or Stamina mode kick in during the process

will give it one more try.
Thank you.
edit: it works but still slow, will consider buying a usb 3.0 card reader.

Another question, sorry for quoting you.
Tried to transfer some music, movies and tv series to the sd card. With teracopy everything seems ok.
After disconnecting the phone from pc either the music won't show or the movies, or tv series.
Befor I unplug the phone all the files appear but after I'm unplugging the phone it won't show the files on yhe phone and on the pc either.
Could it be a damaged sd card or it may cause by using exfat format? Couldn't find a way to format into fat32 format.
Any suggestions?
Are you sure the apps you are using to play/view let you into the SD Card?
I have several thousand songs and some movies on my SD Card and they are viewable from my apps.
The best way to format your SD Card would be from the phone itself if you want to guarantee the phone recognising the contents. I believe you use Settings > Storage > Erase SD card (My understanding is that it will format the SDCard too) write speed will be determined by the SD Card too, is it a high speed card? I also find that if you try and write multiple files, it slows down everything hugely, so I tend to do files singly (in the case of movies) and in smallish batches if music.
If you're using wi-fi, the speed of the network/distance from the router will play a part too

The item has been removed from ebay so here is some details but not the model number
64GB SanDisk Extreme Micro SDXC Memory Card Class 10 - 45MB/s UHS-I U1
Formatting it through the phone makes it exfat.
And yes I'm sure it's the external sd card.
But how is it possible that the sd card is full, I unplug it and plug it again and the folders are there but they are empty, plus no matter what is the size of the files that I transfer I have like 4-6 free gb's, there should be like 40 free gb's after the size of the files that I transferred.
You should consider that perhaps you got a cheap copy card and it's not working at the speed it should be, there are card speed apps on Android Market that should be able to tell you how fast its working. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a1dev.sdbench&hl=en
also see this thread for other details

This is mine using the 'accurate with reboot'
Card is: SanDisk SDSDQU-064G-FFP Ultra 64 GB Class 10 Micro SD Card

Yes, it's a fake for sure.
About 2-3 mb/s reand and write.
Since the item removed from ebay I can't open a dispute. Hope PayPal will refund me.
If nothing else, at least we've worked out the problem
Not sure if this was already solved.
If you go on Camera, Settings, "Data Storage" change to SD Card.
Erasing the SD card from the phone seems to work more efficiently to provide you the confidence of starting from scratch.
Now everytime I take pictures or Videos, it is transferred straight to my SD Card.
Hope this helps for some that is still having some difficulties with the topic.
