If you've just inserted the SD card or added the .XAP files, you might need to wait a few minutes before you can access your SD card from the Store.

touchXplorer lets you into the device, not sd due to secure format.
THIS is the closest thing i have found to access your SD card. I have tried and it works but its not the best as it relies on zune. so i can add office files, pics and music but thats it. anything else i add to the card does not show up from within the phone.
I have 2 Gb sd card, but in Win7 I can't see it, when I used touchXplorer.
Way?

[Q] Problem with scan a SD card

Hi,
I want to know if there if an app to scan the SD Scan in the RAZR i.
The main problem is that the actual apps in google play only scans "mnt/sdcard", but in the RAZR i the SD card is in "mnt/external1".
So, there is an app that scans "mnt/external1"?
Thanks in advance
Have you tried the app Link2SD? You can move your aplivativos for the card.
I think it would be ideal to install your apps on the phone memory because it has 8GB.

I will try that app. Thanks!
Well, it has like 4 Gb available. So I bought a OCZ Class 10 32 GB SD Card.
The main problem for me is when I delete some mp3 or apk from that SD Card via File Manager. The files "disappear", but they still appears in the default gallery o google player. Only after I restart the phone, the files completely dissapears.
Not working.
I forget to say that my phone is not rooted.
And for what I saw about that app, I don't want to move the files. Only that mnt/external1 gen scaned!

Help with MicroSD card.

ok, so my microsd card is a samsung 64gb hc/hx? Computer says HX, microsd card says HC... class 10.
I've been putting music on it etc, then when reboot my phone, it like restores to an older stage, files will delete themselves, folders i deleted reappear and the new music is gone etc.. I do it again, same thing happens. Its extremely frustrating.
I notice ill put an apk on there, the icon changes, and it wont open the apk also.
Ive formatted my sd card on both computer and on the phone but the problem remains...
Here an image of a zip when trying to open, it was recently put on the sd and opened fine before rebooting.

Same problem here. Any solution?
Are you doing this from the phone? Are you on KK?
If so you need to Google "third party write to sd card restrictions on KitKat "
The solution is to root and apply the write to sd card fix

Root and fix done. The same thing happens if I copy files from pc to micro sd. When I put micro sd in the phone, directory and files above 8/10gb disappear.
You have a broken or dodgy sd card then.
I bought a 64 gig card of eBay write cheap but it was really a 4 gig card formatted to look like a 64 gig one...

[Q] Problem In Installing xap from sd card

I have a lumia 525. I downloaded fifa 14 from windowsphone.com on last Monday. I put the file in my sd card. But now i trying to install it from my sd card. But i can't find it in Store>Sd Card. What to do???
Is there any way to install old xap from sd card????
Does the 525 meet the minimum requirements for that app? Also, do your phone have Internet access at all? It still need to be able to do the license check even when installing from SD card.

Problem with external SD memory card

Help!
1) I cannot save correctly any file on my external 128GB SD memory card. PDF files are saved in a corrupted format. If I create with Total Commander a new folder, it gets deleted later on.
2) The tablet is not rooted.
3) I even tried to copy files via Windows to the tablet via USB-cable and I receive the same error.
Is there a way to check the SD card for errors through Android?
Thank you!
Agreed, doesn't matter which SD card I use.
I have the same issue, I've tried both a cheap, ebay purchased SD card and Samsung SD card from a store. I have the SM-T813. Both of the SD cards had exactly the same issue. I've not rooted the tablet yet, though this is a key reason I'd like to try rooting the tablet.
If this were my problem, I'd pop the card, put in in a USB reader, and try it out directly under Windows. It may need to be reformatted or even re-partitioned.
I contacted the manufacturer. I'll get a replacement because it's broken physically.
