[Q] Got an SD Card, How To Make It Work?

As the title reads.
I bought an Micro SDHC, put it in, but how do I make the phone recognize it? It's acting as if the internal is both external and internal, and when I open file manager it still just says 5GB, what to do ?
Kind Regards
¨Neefy

Look on the /sdcard/_ExternalSD folder I should think.

And then what, that's it?

If you inserted an External SD then that's the folder to look for on your phone. When you connect it to the PC it should recognize 2 seperate external storage devices though.
Wrong section BTW

It can work if you format it first
Settings -> Storage -> Erase SD Card
Be sure you erase right card...

i guess they are pre-formatted, but you can format again ...

It's an empty card, what is the worst thing that can happen?

Yeah, you can try command (adb shell or terminal emulator):
#su
#ls -l /dev/block/mmcblk? (including "?")
Output should be like this:
ls -l /dev/block/mmcblk?
brw------- root root 179, 0 2012-12-02 07:13 mmcblk0
brw------- root root 179, 16 2012-12-02 07:13 mmcblk1
#
If you see only mmcblk0, your external SD or SD reader is maybe dead ...

ExtSd2InternalSd works well, it swops your internal and external SD cards, so your phone thinks the external is the internal and vice-versa: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772234

Or you can use DirectoryBind to bind any folder to the external SD

this works well external 2 internal

I looked at this but it does not have one 9305 listed and quite a few negative comments written, proceed with caution... :fingers-crossed:

Another vote here for Directory Bind. Once I figured out what I was doing wrong the first time around (Needed to make the disc r/w rather than r/o), it's worked like a charm since.

Yes, it will make your external SD card to act like internal memory. And your internal to act like external.

applications always get the internal memory

Is it useful to swap internal/external memory, if I do not have any SD card in my phone?

Shouldn't I get - after swapping without any SD inserted - 4GB for the apps instead of about 2GB as it is now?

Hi, you need partition

You can't.
