Hey everyone. My phone mounts find on the PC, just as all my others have, but it won't mount for my headunit, just charging from it. No sign of usb on either end, headunit nor device.
I've mounted my G1, N1 & MT3G on this headunit, wonder why the slide won't work? It's the same SD card in all of them. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
You say it's the same SD card. Is is the same exact card, or another card of the same model? Are all your cards formatted and partitioned exactly the same? I know some car headunits will only detect the first partition (which is an unreadable ext partition on some cases).
It's the exact same card, the phone doesn't even detect what it's connected to.
You don't even get the USB storage notification? What ROM, if any, are you using?

Try the Auto Mount USB app from the market. I couldn't mount my phone on my head unit without it, unless I go back to Espresso (no problems there).

As the title says, I'd like to connect to memory SD cards at the same time to the device.
I've read spec pages, and it seems the device supports two SD's at once (moreover, the SANDISK wifi+memory SD wouldnt work otherwise).
However, I'm not sure how WM OS supports two memory cards at once. how do the cards mount (how does it work on the dell x50 which has both sd and CF for example) one card mounts to /storage card , and the other ?
also, any ideas about the pinouts ? an SD card/SDIO have 9 pins, but if I'd like to connect more then one, do I connect both to the same pins ?
I recently purchased a Sandisk 4Gb microsd card for use with the Tytn II. The card works correctly on the Tytn. I wanted to transfer a large file to the card by means of the card reader sddr-113 that came with the card. I plugged the microsd card into the sd adapter, put the latter into the card reader, and plugged the card reader into the usb port of the PC.
On trying to write the file to the card an error message popped up saying the card was read-only. I double-checked that the read-only tab on the sd adapter was in the correct position to enable writing but the error persisted. I formatted the card on the Tytn but to no avail. Sandisk support does not list any known issues.
Knowing that several users have purchased a similar card for the Tytn II, has anyone encountered such problems, and is there any fix/workaround? Thanks.
EDIT: Note that there is no problem reading files from the card on the PC. Transfer speed in this case seems quite good. MY PC is WinXP.
You might check the microSD adapter. The adapters that are a std sized SD card have the small "read only" switch on the side of the card, you may have bumped it. Mine isn't even labeled, it should be switched forward, towards the gold contacts.
Good luck.

As I said, I checked that the read-only switch was in the right position. That said the adapter may be defective, and I'll try to put the microSd into another adapter. However any news from others with possible the same problem will serve to see if mine is an isolated case or not.
Oops, sorry, yup I'd try a different adapter, they're pretty cheap/fragile. I have only seen this once, on a friends card. The tip is that the native microSd card is writeable in another device so it really points to the adapter.
I am also experiencing this issue with the exact same card & adapter.
GRRR it really take age to copy data across active sync...

I had this problem as well. I later found that my PC wanted me to format the card when reading it with the adapter. Luckily my card didn't have anything important on it at the time. When I pulled the card to use it in my Tilt, the new device couldn't read it either.
I was able to use the card & adapter with a program found in a post on this forum to repair my corrupted card.
Ok so we have a incredible here in the office and the user is kinda let down about compatibility with music devices. And just wanted to make anyone aware of the issue for consideration.
He went from his iPhone to Droid and was able to mount phones in the Cadillac system. You can hook up and USB 1TB drive the whole nine very compatible.
The problem that lies with the incredible is that it mounts two cards at once.
The paths:
/sdcard
/emmc
This causes most devices to freak out except a computer OS and to top it off developers apps are bug-in out and having storage issues which you can find on an android thread from google.
just some food for thought
Yeah, I've experienced this...many apps that save to SD get cranky when trying to save on the Incredible (due to being internal RAM). I talked to a couple of developers...apparently there's no method available in the SDK to write to internal memory yet.
So head over to newegg\bestbuy\amazon and pick up your 32GB SD card
hello guys!
my problem is popular on google but i don't see any one with my problems.
Anyway, i used my usb to connect and transfer some pics and some music.
Everything was OK until i unplugged my usb. PROBABLY WITHOUT UNMNOUNTING (on my mac). The message on my x10 is like this "preparing sd card. checking for errors"
I have tried to fix the problem by recovering the phone to fabric mode (?).
Anyway i just want to know how to fix this and i have tried a different card into my phone so there is no problems with the phone.
My comp doesn't recognize my x10 anymore. This is really frustrating and i can't use the sd card in the phone because it just restarts itself.
Try formatting the card and see if that helps.
how to formate the card if my comp wont read it?
i have no adapter or anything else, except my x10...
The card works in other phones and i have tried micro sd 2gb in my x10 and it works...
PLEASE HELP

Use one of them to format it.
I actually have a similar issue. When connecting the phone to a mac via usb, upon dissconnecting the card becomes unreadable. I used an adapter to reformat the card to get it working again. I am no longer connecting via usb with my mac. Connecting from Bluetooth doesn't cause this problem. Best bet is to borrow/buy an adapter to reformat. Try not to connect to mac via usb as the card almost always becomes corrupt upon disconnection.

So I noticed that my sd card didn't want to show up on my PC. Or one of them at least. It turned out that the one I could see on my PC was the emmc card, and not the external. It wasn't too big a deal really. As I was fooling around, I installed a new driver (as part of installing theADB/SDK stuff) and then all of a sudden, the cards were reversed. I could see my external card, but not the emmc card. At one point, I swear i could access both cards on my PC. What can I do to remedy this situation so I can access both cards?

Tell us more. What version of software are you running? Stock, CM7, CM9, CM10 or something else? What version of software on PC? Windows, Linux, Mac? Do two drives show up but only one displays anything? Or just one drive? Are they drive letters or under other devices? And you are talking about plugging the USB cable in, not putting chip in card reader?
Thanks. Sorry for the lack of info. I am running CM7.2, and looking for the sd cards through windows 7. Honestly, I am not sure I have this same problem on my home laptop, but definately on my work laptop. Both drives show up, usually as E: and F:, but when I click one of them, it says "please insert disk into removeable disk f:"
Does that help?

Yes that helps. The problem is you are not activating the USB connection. You need to pull up the notification area and you will see a selection for turning on computer access. Until you do that the drives are not active on the PC.
Another way to do it is to use the app NookColorUMS. You can get it on my tips thread linked in my signature. See item B7 in my second post of that thread. That app lets you select whatever partition you want to populate the drives on the PC.
