Have rooted my SGS and Flashed to Froyo (although the external SD card seemed a bit flaky even under Eclair). I'm using a 32Gig SD card of indeterminate heritage.
When I use USB connection, and choose the mass storage option, my PC tells me I can't write anything to the external SD card because it is write protected. I know it isn't as I'm able to write to it with a stand alone card reader/writer, and also able to copy files to it using the Android Manager WiFi app. The only reason I don't just use the WiFi app all the time, is that it seems impossible to copy whole file structures, just files or blocks of files one folder at a time.
Kies is a complete joke, slow as hell, buggy bloat-ware, and only connects to my phone a small percentage of attempts,
I have tried mounting, unmounting, removing, formatting. Has anyone got any ideas what might be the problem?
Oh, I wondered if it might be caused because the SD card is a 'generic' unbranded card of unknown 'class' off a well known auction site. Could it be just that the card is dodgy (I don't have an alternative card to try in it's place)?
Many thanks, Phil
I think my question can be disregarded. Found another thread that says it is the XXJP3 Froyo build that is causing the issue. FWIW I just tried using Kies again, and it corrupted the SD card so now I've got to start from scratch again
Hi guys,
I need some help,
I was trying to change my SD card (16gb) to my HTC 8GB stock one. I copied all files from the 16gb to my pc and then to the 8gb card.
But when running apps on the 8gb they don't open, it gives an error something like "it's not signed or a component is missing"!! It says the same thing for all apps on the SD card.
I installed again the 16gb card and it now gives the same error!
I noticed that there is a folder on the sd card called "Windows Mobile - ActiveSync" with a certificate in it! I don't remember installing any certificate, but I have my exchange account configured on the device.
Do you guys have any clue what could be the problem?
Also in activesync the phone it's not syncing (but it connects) and I can't connect anymore with my exchange account via 3G!
I was noticing in the last days that my data connection (3G) was connecting many times, and I had it in manualy connecting only.
Ps: I was doing a backup of the SD card before testing the android build...
It looks like that I also can't reinstall the apps!
I notice also that some apps I have it on the phone memory and not on the SD card, but neither from SD or phone they run!
The fix seems to be formating the SD card on the phone and not in windows, and then copy the data in to the card.
My work email requires the phone and external storage to be encrypted to use the Microsoft Exchange server for email.
Email worked fine while on ICS and rooted. After upgrading to JB 4.1.1 (kept root with vodoo root keeper ) the email stopped with a notice I needed to change my security settings. There was nothing I could change.
Deleted the account and when I try to set it up new- I get a message that I can't continue as the IT policy requires external encryption.
Under security> encrypt SD card>Setup data encryption Memory card (along the top) and apply (along the bottom) are grayed out.
I erased the SD card and that did not work.
Tried to continue setup without an SD card- no go.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hi
In looking for a way to encrypt the phone and SD card and still be able to view/edit the files on Windows. I'm not looking for the best ever encryption, but rather an invisible encryption that do not limit the use for the person having the encryption password.
The dream scenario is:
Turn on phone and type in encryption password only on boot
Use screen lock as long as phone is on
Being able to use the phone as a 'USB stick' dragging and dropping files in Windows
Being able to dismount the SD card, typing the encryption password and view/edit all files on the card in Windows/other android devices.
Is there any way of doing this, e.g. by using and app and store a similar windows program in a small non-encrypted part of the SD card?
I have a Verizon branded Note 8 that I got from Verizon directly. I run an MDM (Mobile Device Management) application for work and was setting up policy for Android devices when I discovered this. I required external SD cards to be encrypted. MDM software kept reporting that my phone's external SD card was not encrypted, after I had gone in and encrypted it. So I reformatted the external SD card via the Note 8 itself. Android notification says that SD card is encrypted, just as it did before. However the MDM software throws a warning that it is not encrypted. I contact the Vendor of the MDM software and they have me pull the card out and check the contents from my PC. (why didn't I already think of that, I assumed it was the MDM falsely reporting the card as not encrypted). Once in my windows 10 PC, I am able to open and browse all files on the SD card. Damn. The phone is reporting the SD card as encrypted but it is not. This was a brand new SanDisk 200GB Micro SD, never used in anything other than the Note 8 and now my Windows PC for the encryption verification test I ran. I did a chat with Samsung support and they told me to try another card but either way the phone is still falsely reporting that the SD is encrypted when it is in fact not. I tried the process 3 or 4 times with the same result. Anyone notice this same issue? Anyone verify that their device is in fact encrypting their SD card by placing the card into another system? Seems like a big deal for a company that touts KNOX as a Secure implementation for Android phones.

How did you format the card?
Maybe try removing card, putting in Winblow$ PC and running diskpart...
Code:
list disk
Code:
select disk (x)
Code:
clean
and thats it.
No new partitions or anything. Just put it in Sammy Note and let it take it from there.
Worth a go?
The card was formatted in the Note 8 itself, then the encryption utility in Settings was used to attempt to encrypt the card. After the attempt, all appears to have been successful from the perspective of the phone. However the card is fully readable in my Windows PC, using the laptop's built in card reader. I could try all of those things but it still doesn't resolve the issue that my Note 8 gives an Android notification after boot up that my SD card is encrypted when in fact it is not. Thanks for your response.
Hmmm... Will try on my Exy and report back...

Bump for you.
I feel your pain in the opposite way. I encrypted my phone and keeps turning off when booting up phone again.
