HI!
I have this problem that when I turn on the file sharing, the computer shows only internal memory card and not the external. Because the phone itself recognizes the external card I have tried to unmount and mount several times without any improvement. I am currently using the latest CM7 nightly, but the problem seemes to have started after I changed the card from 4gb to 16 gb. Any ideas?
EDIT: Erasing sd card from the phones menu helped to solve the problem.
Go Setting>Storage and remount your sd card and try???
I've done that several times....no help... android system accesses the card without problems...music, pics etc.
Did you physically remove your card and reinsert it, or just software remount?
Have you tried the card directly in your computer?
Have a look in windows device manager and see if it reports any problems. (right
click my computer and select manage)
I have tried it all and everything is ok with the sd card itself (I copied recent nightly from the computer on the sd card) also recovery recognizes is... there are also no problems in device manager...
Try to put on debugging mode. And try it with debugging mode on.
If the debugging mode is on try to take it off.

I tried that also and nothing changed.... I have a feeling that it is somehow attached to me using mybackup pro... I restored application apk and data from another phone to this one and It seems that usually the application data should go to internal memory card. In this case it is on external card... so i believe that somehow the programs are still using the card when connected and do not allow phone to share it out... It's just a guess though...
EDIT: so I think the solution is to wipe everything and start all over again
So I fresh installed Rom and wiped everything and the problem still exist... still can see files with file managers in phone and when connected to computer, autorun shows only internal card...
Edit: I tried now 2gb sized sdcard and it works perfectly... the problem is with 16gb card.
Weird. Did you try another USB-port?
I tried different USB-s now and still same I found out that when I connect the phone, under my computer appears two removable disks.... if I turn on the usb connection, only one transforms to usable removable disk (internal) and the other one asks to insert the removable disk. I used the same sd card on my HTC desire with CM nightlies and it worked perfectly... could it be CM-s bug?
Sorry to ask (maby the obvious)
On Your phone.. using your filemanager (Root explorer astro or what-ever..)
Browse to sdcard
Do you have a folder called _externalSD?
On this phone, for some reason the external SD is not mounted under./ but as i said under ./sdcard/ (i.e its mounted under the internal SD card..)
Just a thought
Where the different cards are mounted doesn't make any difference. And as he said, it works with other cards (2GB and 4GB).
CyanogenMOD mounts internal card as /mnt/emmc, and external card as /mnt/sdcard by default.
When turning on USB storage, both cards should be unmounted and shared over USB.
Hi, I had the same problem with mine, and as you said in one of your previous posts, I had to do a format through the phone and as soon as I did that I was good to go.
I did use the same memory card in my old hero so this might have something to do with it... I'm not sure.
By formatting do you mean from the menu Erase SD card? On the desire I actually had the formatting request from the computer, but there was another problem (some of the rom's files were on the sdcards ext or something and I had no access to the card from the USB).... kind of a similar problem if I think back now but after changing to CM, the problem disappeared.
I forgot to mention I am running completely stock rom and unrooted (for the time being) and there is just an option under sd card & phone storage setting to format external sd card
After erasing the sd card from the phone, the computer recognized it i'm currently copying stuff back and i'm pretty sure it does not affect the recognition
I faced the same problem. I had Swapper2 on my NC, and after I uninstalled it (and cleared the data of Swapper2, just in case) everything went to normal back again.
^ a solution.
Hi guys,
Yesterday i found there's this thing called swapping internal and external sd cards for more storage for games.
How it works, it adds two cards in one or its just changing the places (sdcard0 to sdcard1 and sdcard1 to sdcard0)?
And so, i flashed Helly bean, i flashed swap kernel for 4.3 by mackay and it didnt seem diffrent. How can i recognize the change and why when i mount the cards to pc i see just the one - my external card? Should i use another rom
Edit: Tried Cm10.2.0 without the kernel everything is fine, with the kernel its like my internal sd card doesnt exist :lol:
No worries i figured it out, after the problem i reinstalled other rom and my cards are swiped without me installing the swapped sd kernel
After connecting to USB on my laptop yesterday it appears i cannot write to SD card... it tries to but when I do it from the lockscreen, it crashes when it asks for my unlock gesture... the phone restarts and all the images taken since then (yesterday) are gone...
I'm unrooted on Android 4.3 is there any way to recover my pictures???
...,.......
k, a 4GB microSD card worked perfectly but I tried a new 64GB microSD card and it couldn't even transfer music files from my external SD...

You may need to format your 64gb to a Fat32 format via a computer.. hope that helps.

I experiencing a very annoying problem with my external SD card.
It seems I am not the only one: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Z1s/Z1-destroy-files-on-SD-card/td-p/418011
Basically I loose random data when I store them on external SD card.
Many random data: let's say about 30-40% of what I stored.
This happens:
* if I copy data from internal memory to external direcly with the phone
* if I copy data from the PC to external card using USB connection while the card is in the phone
* even if I copy data onto the card and THEN insert it into the phone
The SD card is a brand new Samsung Class 10 64GB and I tried also with an old 32GB Sandisk with the same result.
I formatted the card either exFAT or FAT32 and in both cases I can fill it without loosing a single byte with the PC.
I am on .157 stock firmware (only rooted to use Titanium Backup and a few tools) but I had the same problem with .133.
Any possible solution in your expert opionions? It is really frustrating to have only 11GB storage in such a great phone!!!
Got three guesses
It does not correctly unmount the card when connecting the phone to the PC in Mass Storage mode
Kernel Bug. On exFat I would expect that, not on fat32. Can be ruled out if it does not happen with custom roms
Voltage on the SD Card suddently drops for some hardware design reason. Should happen on all ROM's
Sounds like some testing is needed? For example #2 is easy to test when someone with the problem flashes a custom rom with and tests the same sd card again.
Hi guys,
Ive already spend days of google and even brought my old laptop from the storage room to format my newly purchased sandisk 128gb micro sd card. Its not recognized by the modified tablet running 14.1 chalagwifi(?). So stock android has the option to format the sd card, but is there a way i can do that within lineageos? Under storage my sd card is not listed...I have tried to format it from my laptop to exfat but still not recognized... From google results the sd card should be compatible with the tab - so any one has an solution?
Best regards.
HI
The mount point for the SD card is not under "/storage" but "/mnt/media_rw/" witch can cause problem with most of media reader (Like Mk player)
you can see your Sd card with an explorer like "ES explorer" and read a video with google video but not with Mx Player
i expect it can help you. i'm searcing in formums a way to change the mount point of the sd card
Note : i have a 128 go sd card formatted in NTFS and it work well
