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?

Hi,
i'm having serious problems with the SD card on my Milestone. Let me explain :
1. If i try any generic app which tries to access the SD card, it says it's not there (Camera says "Please insert a SD card", other apps say similar warnings).And i can't use "update.zip" on recovery mode
2. Settings>SD card & phone storage says Unavailable to everything, like if the card is not mounted.
3. Recovery mode say "can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Any ideas ?
Try cleaning the gold contacts on the sd card an the sd card holder...
Also try seeing if the sd card works on an external sd card reader
Hope this helps

My sdcard works fine on the card reader. I've tried so many times before: (Does anyone know the milestone with fastboot?

If it works fine in a card reader, it might be the card slot in the Milestone that might be broken.

Have you ever been brick sdcard? Also possible that so many people use android brick sdcard failed. I think the milestone card reader works fine: (
I would recommend taking your SD card, backing up the contents to your computer, and then doing a non-quick format on the SD card. There's something corrupt about the filesystem of the SD card that the phone does not like, and a format of the SD card should repair things again.

What format are you putting it in? If it is in NTFS, I believe it will not recognize it.

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.

Samsung i897- given to me used, Original owner said never used the sd card slot as it never came with one.
I hit flash to stock from the phone menu, it is at O/S version 2.2.
I am trying a sandisk micro sdhc 8 gb.
I put the card in the phone, the external sd was/is greyed out for mount and format.
I tried the disc in my pc and it read as fat, so I reformatted it as fat, and it still does not show in the phone.
I tried putting files on it when connected to the pc, and it worked.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Is this a common problem for this phone? Does the card need to be named something special? I looked in the manual and cannot even find what format the card should be (fat,ext4 etc).
Thanks in advance.

OK so,
Tried Formatting the sd as NTFS? what kernel do you have? what compilation of froyo do you have?
External SD is mounted as vfat.
Can you see the SD card by using a usb adaptor outside of the phone? If not, try another card. If yes, format it there as a fat and try again in phone.

I was having a certain issue and it was suggested I format my SD card.
I did and now it says it is damaged and won't mount. Can it be fixed or is it trash?

Be sure to format it using FAT32 and do it when it's
plugged into it's adapter and your computer.
Here is the windows fat32 formatter app which will
format your sdcard correctly using fat32:

Once it's formatted it should mount and work like new.
Good luck!

I had same issue. You can try the fat32 if not it might be time for a new card. Sorry but I never had fat32 work out for me. I have learned to buy card at best buy with the protection they offer so when it goes bad I just head over and swap it out. Saves on the headache of mailing it in and waiting for warranty replacement.

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.
