Hello.
Got an external SD card today (32gb). Now when the device gets plugged into the computer it mounts it as two separate drives (internal SD and external SD). Is there anyway to either change the priority so the external SD is number 1 or prevent the internal SD from mounting or have them treated as one drive?
I ask because since getting the external SD and filling it up with music my car headunit only detects the internal SD, because it doesn't have the capability of detecting 2 storage drives.
Preventing/being able to control the internal sd from being used as a mass storage device would be the ideal outcome. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Using JPU 2.2.1.
Cheers,
Mike.
I need this as well. Otherwise my car cannot play music stored on the external_sd.
All help is appreciated.

ok so I got my HD7 today. when I plug my hd2 into my wdtv box the connect as disk driver pops up & the hd2 is seen as usb drive.
on the hd7 nothing happens, any way for my hd7 too bee seen as a drive?
I have to guess its because the sd card is internal and not removable.
thanks!
Nope, no way to do that :/
There is no option to use any WP7 devices as an external drive as the internal memory (for the OS) and any external, but internal, memory (SD cards or NAND flash) are treated as one contiguous storage area. I.e. it cannot give access to the storage as the Operating System needs it to work on.
The memory is formatted in a special way as well which means that no data would be readable by our computers. At least until someone figures it all out
Hi,
I am having problems with writing files SD card mounted as drive on HTC Velocity.
The phone often but randomly loses connection but only when copying large amounts of data. (mostly lots of small files)
Both SD card and Internal phone memory drives are lost.
I need to unplug/replug usb cable to restore drive.
When copying files, they randomly pause for a few seconds at different point and then continue then suddenly drive is lost. It appears as though HTC velocity has some other process running that interferes with copy process.
I have tried:
copying from different PC using different USB cables.
Tested SD card in SD card reader directly plugged into PC.
The SD card is Adata 32G UHS.
Any ideas on what more I can do to troubleshoot this?
Are there log files on phone that I can view?
Thanks

Could be a problem with the micro usb port on the phone. Check for any dust or debri or any bent pins.
I don't believe it is physical - read is ok
Write to internal storage is ok as well.
I have checked pins and all looks ok.
Also swapped with 16G SD card that was working in HD2 - same issue.
Still having issues writing.
Is there a legacy USB mode similar to some earlier HTC models or other settings I can change?
Any other ideas please?
Thanks
Solved
Did a factory reset and seems to have resolved the issue.
Wipe all data from data/sd card.
Suspect there was something installed that was causing SD card connections to stall when writing.
If I will update if I figure out the cause
I'm new to android and am confused about how the storage displays. I've a 16gb Note with a 64gb sd card but get an 'out of space' message. It displays as:
1.97gb internal storage
11.6gb usb storage
64gb sd card
I have plenty of space left but it's the internal storage that fills up. I can move apps to sd card to free space but why is the internal memory showing as so small? I don't understand why it's split between internal and usb.
Is this normal? Is there any way to increase the internal storage to use some more of the usb storage?

Hi anyone knows if adaptable storage is supported or at least works by some tricks?
From what I remember, adaptable storage back in the day was not as reliable or as fast as just keeping them separate. Meaning that the internal storage that Sammy uses was typically faster on its own than with adaptable storage.
Personally, I find that keeping all my media (videos, music, pictures) on the Micro SD card is best. Recording video and taking pictures and saving them onto my internal storage is faster. Then I'd simply transfer the shot footage onto the Micro SD card after. Saving space in my internal storage for future video recording and picture taking. Also, saving more internal storage for games and apps.
Ok, maybe this is a stupid question, but can I plug in an SD from Z5c or Z1c, with data (pics and music)?
Yes, it will work. When first plugging it in it might give an option to use it as internal storage or external / removable storage. Select it as removable storage as using it as internal sometimes requires a full format of the SD card.
Thank you. I used the SD card from my Z1c, no problem. My new 256gSD is coming in the next couple of days. I'll wait to transfer all pics and music from previous devices. Might need the laptop for that...
