Hi All!,
Its possible only to mount one of the sd cards? My idea is only to mount the external card. I know there is an application that does this, but i was wondering if some of the custom rooms manage to do it without having to instal another application.
Thanks in advance
Why?

Perhaps i didn't explain clearly the problem...When i connect to the PC ,I liked to have only the external card available, because the internal is used to have some apps installed. by default it mounts both when i connect using usb cable.
There is. Disconnect it from the phone and stick it in a microSD card reader

Just stating that there probably is no such possibility
In general settings, in Storage menu, you can unmount internal sdcard, just do it before plugging your phone.

Some apps will not work properly, i.e Camera.
In Galaxy S2, the micro sd card placed near battery, so can't remove it without turn off phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks you all for the comments, but what i wanted was something like this apps:
Multi Mount SD-Card (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tLnJhZm9pZC5tdWx0aW1vdW50c2RjYXJkLndpZGdldCJd)
This allows you to choose which sd card to mount when usb is connected.
I already tried and works very well... i just wondering if some custom rom/kernel already has it.
Thanks again for all your help.

if I turn on USB storage on the phone I can only find the internal memory on the pc, where can i find the sd card?
or do we always need to remove the card from te phone and use adaptor in pc
pretty stupid for a phone that costs around 500€
On my PC it is viewed as 2 SDcards, one 5.5 Gig and one 2.0 Gig(my external)

Your external sd are mounted in the internal...
So it should be /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD
So just check in folder _ExternalSD on your sdcard

on the phone this is corect
but if i connect to pc , then i turn on usb storage @ phone
first the phone says " sd card safe to remove"
then notting happens , I turn on usb storage again and then I see only the internal @ the phone , tryed many thing , always I only see the internal , because the phone always seems to safly remote the sdcard first ....
puth the wired thing is wen i conect the phone on pc I can see two cardreaders
first one , the internal memory of the phone
second most be the sd card , but because the phone "safe remove" it first , I cant access it ....
really wierd
I have the same issue here, davjan.
I hope LG will fix this in a next firmware update.
(that they'll find a way to treat both SD-cards in the same manner).
It is the normal behavior to safely unmount the external SD. It does that to provide the computer with 2 different mass storage devices.
Do you happen to have a linux computer nearby?
You could view in dmesg how the SDcards are viewed.
Anyone found a solution to this problem? Why some people are able to see both cards and some others not?

I have the same problem as well. When I turn on the USB storage the pc is "seeing" only the internal sd card. The pc (under my computer) shows 2 different hard drives. When I turn on the USB storage only one of them "turns on" with 5.5GB. There is a file within the internal sd card called External sd card but not sure if this is the "way" to add stuff into the external sd card... anyone?

you must format sd card in your phone before use. settings-->sd card-->format external sd card. Its solved my problem too.

Hey all, I've been using a Meenova USB micro SD card reader for extra storage since my N5. After getting my N6, I've been noticing that after unmounting the drive and plugging it in to my computer, I get an error that the drive needs fixed. Run the fix and it's fine. I use Stickmount app to mount and unmount the sd card since it doesn't seem the kernels I have used support native USB OTG mounting. Just wondering if anyone knows why this is now an issue and if anyone else has run into this.

I tested mine went from NX6 to a Mac and then to a Win8 machine with no issues....
Yeah, I don't get it. I get it every time with every rom I've tried.
Did you try to format the SD card?

No I haven't. That's a good idea. If it's an issue with what's on the card though, wouldn't transferring that data back after formatting possibly put me back at square one?

Yes but at least you can discard it. As an alternative try another SD card, if you have one.

Thanks for your help. I'll give that a try.
Finally got around to formatting the card @mexiking713. No more errors. Thanks again for the help.
So I can't seem to get my Micro SD card reader to work in the micro USB slot on my nexus 6 without mounting it with stick mount. Because of this I'm weary of wiping my phone like I want to before I flash the room and kernel I want to put in. Any ideas how to get the phone to recognize it without an app? Or has anyone used stick mount to mount, completely wiped EVERYTHING on internal memory and had no problems?

You'll need the app, if you haven't got a rom/kernel combination that supports this. Stock doesnt
OK. So maybe until I flash a room that supports it don't wipe all data?

There is no need to wipe the /sdcard unles syou're decrypting
So by SD card you mean the internal memory right? Or do you mean external Lol lots of SD cards

I only get this message once I insert the microsd card into the tablet, I get the option not now or go to my files, and I always press not now, and it never come up again until I take out the card and re insert.
do you keep taking out the card or does the message just comes up without you removing/insert the card.

Backup all your data from sd card and format the card from settings/storage
Probably a card on its way out.

thank you guys for your quick reply. Apologize for the insufficient info. Okay, initially when I inserted the card, the tab is in off mode. Once I powered it up, I didn't get that message. I straight away go to my files and the sd card content is already there, so I thought that is normal, but after a while that message cames on. It goes off once you touch anywhere on the screen or the soft keys. This thing happened on and on. the only thing I haven't done is formatting the card. I gonna try that method afterwards. wish me luck...>_<

It is always best to go through the procedures when insert or removing the sd card, use the menu and unmounts the SD card then format, it's best not to continuous taking out the SD card, even though you can do that.
hmm.... I believe I have tried doing all the method mention before. no joy... formatting process unable to complete(using onboard programme), its only done half way before that message appear again....tried several times....still the same....can't format using PC(ahh....couldn't find my card reader)..so I've concluded that I have to change a new card...even though previously all the content inside works flawlessly. anyway....thanks all for the advices given.
I had that problem with an old microSD and my T810. Changing it with a new one (faster and best branded) solved the problem.
No more messages.

There are two more method you can try, download the Panasonic SD formatter and use that program to format the SD card, or you can format the card using a old nokia phone that runs on the old S40 OS.

I had a 16gb sandisk do this on my s2, swapped it yesterday for a newer, faster 64gb card and so far so good. I'd try a different card or buy a new one.

wow... I wanna give this method a try, looks very promising....
I can't guarantee that the SD formatter work,but it's. A very good program made by the SD association, but the Nokia one has a good chance, previously I has some dead micros, and some that will not detect, even on a PC, the nokia fixed it.
Hi, I'm having this issue: I have stock camera configured to save photos to the external SD card and it usually works fine, but lately sometimes the camera is taking the photo but not saving to the card, without noticing. If I restart the device everything is fine until eventually it fails again.
Is someone having this problem? Thank you
Have you tried with a different SD card? Just to be sure yours is not faulty.

Remove all the data from the card and format it in windows, not quick format.
Put the card back in the phone, format it again in setting/storage, then move your data back on.
If this doesn't fix it buy a new card.
Today the card was damaged after mounting and unmounting and even the Pc didn't show the content. I recovered the data with the command chkdsk and now I'm testing using it with the phone. In the case that I have problems again I'll format and hope that I don't need to change it.

You need to turn your phone off before you pull the card out, likewise for putting it back in.

But there is an option to mount and unmount the micro sd, and a notification that say that is safe to extract the card.
Anyway I think that my problems began when I inserted a USB drive attached to an OTG adapter. I don't know why are mount and unmount operations offered if they don't work properly.
Thank you.

You can check your SD card by connecting it to a different device and see if it is corrupted or not. Also when your SD card is not being recognized in PC after connecting your SD card to your PC, assign a new drive letter to this connected card through your operating system settings.
Also please check that your Stock Camera firmware is upgraded since the concerned case could be a case of camera-card incompatibility also.

Thank you but chkdsk to recover data and then formatting was the solution. So far is working fine.
