Ok, maybe this is a stupid question, but can I plug in an SD from Z5c or Z1c, with data (pics and music)?
Yes, it will work. When first plugging it in it might give an option to use it as internal storage or external / removable storage. Select it as removable storage as using it as internal sometimes requires a full format of the SD card.
Thank you. I used the SD card from my Z1c, no problem. My new 256gSD is coming in the next couple of days. I'll wait to transfer all pics and music from previous devices. Might need the laptop for that...

Hello.
Got an external SD card today (32gb). Now when the device gets plugged into the computer it mounts it as two separate drives (internal SD and external SD). Is there anyway to either change the priority so the external SD is number 1 or prevent the internal SD from mounting or have them treated as one drive?
I ask because since getting the external SD and filling it up with music my car headunit only detects the internal SD, because it doesn't have the capability of detecting 2 storage drives.
Preventing/being able to control the internal sd from being used as a mass storage device would be the ideal outcome. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Using JPU 2.2.1.
Cheers,
Mike.
I need this as well. Otherwise my car cannot play music stored on the external_sd.
All help is appreciated.
Hi,
I am having problems with writing files SD card mounted as drive on HTC Velocity.
The phone often but randomly loses connection but only when copying large amounts of data. (mostly lots of small files)
Both SD card and Internal phone memory drives are lost.
I need to unplug/replug usb cable to restore drive.
When copying files, they randomly pause for a few seconds at different point and then continue then suddenly drive is lost. It appears as though HTC velocity has some other process running that interferes with copy process.
I have tried:
copying from different PC using different USB cables.
Tested SD card in SD card reader directly plugged into PC.
The SD card is Adata 32G UHS.
Any ideas on what more I can do to troubleshoot this?
Are there log files on phone that I can view?
Thanks

Could be a problem with the micro usb port on the phone. Check for any dust or debri or any bent pins.
I don't believe it is physical - read is ok
Write to internal storage is ok as well.
I have checked pins and all looks ok.
Also swapped with 16G SD card that was working in HD2 - same issue.
Still having issues writing.
Is there a legacy USB mode similar to some earlier HTC models or other settings I can change?
Any other ideas please?
Thanks
Solved
Did a factory reset and seems to have resolved the issue.
Wipe all data from data/sd card.
Suspect there was something installed that was causing SD card connections to stall when writing.
If I will update if I figure out the cause
So I have a 64gb card in my phone, everything works fine on it except on boot it says there a problem when there really is none. All my music and files open just fine. Another issue I have is that the USB transfer rate is slower than 1.1 so any time I want to put new music on in have to take the card out and use an SD card reader to put new files onto it. Often times when transfer via a cable to the phone it just locks up mid transfer. How do i fix both the SD card problem boot message and the horrible transfer rates and lockup via USB?

Same issue on lumia 820.
Its possible that the master file table is dirty and the MicroSD needs formatted, but I'd use the Panasonic SD card formatter (I think that's what its called anyways), as SD cards require special care compared to hard drives.
Hello all! I have bought dual flash drive by Sandisk, size 64gb. For some reason when I connect the device I cannot use it, and when I try to set it to MTP, it "jumps" right back to reverse charge. I have unrooted stock ROM and would like to keep it that way if possible. I have tried usb debugging, and formatted the device.
Help please.
Thanks in advance!
Try to format sd card in reader with HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. Google for it. I'm using same sd card moded to use with 2 sim cards and it works fine (with more than 50GB of data occupied). Or maybe the card died
Please notice that it's not a card but a flash drive.
From SanDisk page:
64GB and 128GB Dual USB Drives come preformatted in exFat file system and certain mobile devices do not support exFat. In this case please format the drive in Fat32 file system.

Also:
Note: Some mobile device protective cases interfere with the full and proper connection between SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Drive and the microUSB port of mobile devices. You may have to remove the protective case on your mobile device to obtain a full and proper connection.

Weirdly P9 is not listen in compatibility page even when P8 and P7 is... but I often use OTG drives with my P9, from cheap sd card reader for 3$(with microUSB so I use usb-c dongle...) to even external SSD is working with it, so lack of OTG support is not a problem.
It's not the cover. Will formatting it to fat32 won't affect the size of the flash drive I can use? And Is there a way to format it with unrooted phone? Because I will not be at home for the next few weeks.
nope, formating just change file system/algorithms of how files are stored in drive. But you need to remember that 64GB drive will have just about 59-62GB of REAL size, its because of difference between how the manufacturer calculates capacity (decimal-based) compared to how a computer calculates it (binary-based).
And you dont do formating on phone but on PC:
1. just plug it to PC.
2. backup files if you have any on it.
3. right click on that dive in "My Computer".
7. select format -> Quick format
8. select FAT32 and then hit format.
9. done.
Thank you for your answer. I know to format through a computer, I just won't be near one for the next few weeks. What file system should I format into?
umm... I mentioned that 2 times: Fat32 format :]
It should be fine if it's in Reverse charging. In my case, I'm using a USB-C to USB (female) adapter (check Google if you can find one). It works fine, my P9 can even read the contents of my 1TB external hard drive. Probably something wrong with the USB-C part of the flash drive itself?
HI everyone, I use to have different android phone, on the camera app you can choose if you want to save pics or videos to sd card, but there is No option to select pic save to sd card when using raZer phone 2 camera, is any one know how to solve this problem?
Another thing is some USB Type-C earphones is doesn't work on raZer phone 2, is any one have this problem too? the dongle is work fine.
See this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/razerphone...r_phone_2_does_not_support_exfat_for_microsd/
You can try formatting the card as adoptable storage or you can connect the phone to a PC with an OTG cable and manually move the photos to the card.
