I've just got a 32GB Sandisk Class4 MicroSD and my transfer speeds are horrible when mounted over USB.
Also after some time, the transfers may fail, and the mount is no longer reachable. I.e. you can no longer browse it through My Computer.
When this happens, the phones interface grinds to a halt, and I need to restart it. Key strokes will take seconds to come up, etc.
I've tried reformatting the SD card, reinstalling Kies to get the latest USB driver, but the speeds still the same.
I found if I manually did "safely remove hardware" for the Android internal SD mount, the speed is a bit faster.
Any ideas?
Try adding the phone as a USB mass storage with USB Debug On, also use only the supplied Samsung cable and finally did you format the card in the phone before you started using it?

I couldn't find that, but ran H2TestW, which managed to write all the files fine but had read errors.
Not sure if that is because I have it going through the phone, maybe I should try an SD card adapter to the PC?

so i downloaded Pocket Quake for my wizard and am copying my pak0.pak file to my SD card. its a 175mb file and i have 1.4 gb free on my card. i tried exploring the device via Activesync and drag n drop the file, but it copes a portion of the file and shows that the device is unplugged!!!!!
i tried putting the miniSD into the SD card adapter and put it in my SD card slot on my laptop and i cant even access it because it keeps telling me that my card is not formatted. i have formatted this card before, but i guess it wont let me access it within windows.
how the heck am i going to get this 175 mb file on my card? this is so frustrating! thanks.
Its a bug with activesync - you have to use a card reader to transfer large files or wm5storage (use storage card as usb storage device). Activesync sucks!
wm5storage download link http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=11800
I noticed when I move any file to the minSD through ActiveSync, it takes FOREVER. A song takes at least one minute to transfer. I dont have a card reader so I havent tried that yet.
im afraid to eject my card, cuz everytime i do, it messes up on me...

i just installed this on phone.. how do i use it?
thx for the program, meschle.
it took me a while to figure it out too, but u go to START, ACCESSORIES, then run the program, ACTIVATE and if you have your wizard plugged into your usb then it should detect as a removable drive.
it worked for a while at first, but now my data on my storage card seems to be corrupted =\ gotta figure this out now.

It might be corrupt becuase u unplug da cable to fast. 100 mb file is big for ur device's processor, wait awhile before you unplug the cable
Does Elocity A7 support NTFS file system? I have problems accessing my USB stick which is formatted in NTFS...or something else may be an issue !?!. In any event it can not read it...any suggestion?
Regards
Upgraded firmware and now when USB memory stick is plugged in I am getting a message the it is being checked for errors....but data on it so far cannot be accessed...Anybody else has issues with reading memory stick thru USB port?...SD card works like charm...
Regards
When I first got mine I was using my key which is fat32 and ran into the same problem. I had to reset the device before I could use my usb stick again. Haven't tried an NTFS usb device but either way it's not on the a7 to support NTFS, it is Android's task.
It would be interesting to know if other people had problems of accessing USB memory stick...for me memory stick would be much easier mean of exchange software/data between PC and Elocity than microSD.
Regards
I found out that if memory stick is formated as FAT32 then Elocity has no problem reading it...
USB memory stick
I have no problem accessing my USB stick, my problem is transfering the data like music or movies into folders which Elocity a7 doesn't allow me to do.
I have tried coping and or moving files i.e., songs, movies, am I doing something wrong or is there a right way to do it?
You can copy files from USB to SD card...only file by file not directories
The other way is to pull out your SD card and copy files on it using adapter on your PC
The third way is to use application which lets you access your Elocity using your browser on your network which will then allow you to copy files to/from device
Regards
My a7 originally could mount and read the sd card and the usb drive. Then one day it suddenly would not mount the sd card and it always said it was checking for errors. I tried a wipe and restore, formatting the card, and a different card. None of it worked. Finally I loaded Dexter's 1.41 mod. The mod worked great but the sd card still couldn't be mounted. And then the usb drive gave me errors and one time would work and another time it says preparing storage checking for errors. Right now neither the sd card or the usb are being mounted. After 4 emails to elocity support I am pretty frustrated with this unit and thinking of just ordering an ipad.

Do you apply the vold patch with 1.41? Also you have to have a folder/directory sdcard/sdcard-disk (sdcard-disk) is the one needed. This still won't allow card to be read from boot other then applying zips with sysrecovery. It has been mentioned before in another thread if your not running elocitys FW you can't really complain about it to them.
If that folder/directory isn't created it won't read with the patch. USB also has something about it. Read up on this thread.

Hello, I'm new here and I did experience some sort of USB or MicroSD issue where the eLocity unit did read the USB at first and then the next time I put the USB flash drive it cannot read it, no matter what I do. Then I hit the reboot key at the back using a pin or something sharp and I tested both drives and it did read them.
I learn that before removing the USB FD you need to dismount by tapping the connection icon to safely remove the USB. You will then receive a message to confirm the removal of USB drive.
I hope this help.
Peace....
I'm pretty bored of this problem...
a week ago I've found my sd card sand disk 4Gb class 4 corrupted when I found that everytime I take a photo, I found it corrupted when the phone is connected with PC and sd mouted...
so I take a sand disk 2Gb that I have had on a camera and I use it...
Today, again the same problem
2 sd card corrupted with no way to format it...
I always us CM7 (RC 7.1 when I had the 4Gb card and nightly now)...
Is the phone broken? or I have to do something...I've notice that this problem is very common, but I don't understand if is an hardware problem or software, kernel...
I also have Darktremor installed...if can help...
thanks for any advice
Have you tried formatting and repartitioning card?
I use sdformatter from web--does good job--settings are: Full Erase On and Size Adjustment On
Then repartition back in phone to 1gb 0 swap--that's what I use
Of course, back up sdcard tp pc first
Do you "eject" your phone from the PC before unmounting it?
I just press the unmount button on the phone and disconnect the cable I don't use the safe remove of window do you think is for that?

but i think Windows manage any USB storage device without keeping the cache too long by default. what's more he isn't writing anything onto the card but reading, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
yeah android read the card but it doesn't write anything....
can the problem is the darktremor?

That's your problem. You're yanking the card away from windows before it's done writing to it probably.
1) Eject from windows
2) Unmount in android
3) Unplug
I've had my android phone for over a year now and have only had one card go corrupt, but that was due to a buggy ass wifi teather app. I've never had a problem aside from that. However, I also never mount the sd card in windows. I just use Dropbox to transfer files back and forth, or for large files, I just copy over wifi via a lan share.
thanks...
to all...
there are discordant opinion about this who said that I have to first unmount then safe disconnect from Win and who said that I have first safe remove and then unmount...

There is no way to plug an android phone and trasfer file without mount sd?

Is the card a class 10? I had class 6 clean from start to end but changed to a 32gb class 10 in the last 4 months and tonight was the second time filenames got messed up just by connecting to the PC. I connected, hit USB mount and a bunch of folder/file names were messed and stuff on the LOST.DIR.
Gonna get a new card tomorrow.
I understand that MAGLDR's USB Mass Storage isn't most people's first choice, and that it can be flaky at times, but I've used it without problems in the past.
However, the last time I used it, installing drivers took an abnormally long time, and I just canceled USB Mass Storage and went back to the menu. However after that, the SD Card is complete unrecognized in the phone, and when using an adapter plugged in to the computer directly, it tells me the SD Card cannot start.
It looks like the controller on the card is damaged. I was just wondering if anyone else has heard of this occurrence. I honestly think it's more likely that the controller breaking was the cause, not the effect. Perhaps that's why it was taking so long to install drivers?
damaged/faulty SD Card readers do happen, have you tries to delete the partitions and reformating the SD Card.
I have lost 2 cards with my HD2 and am currently on the 3rd, I have no explanation but thats the wat it is

Format your sd card using Panasonic sdformatter 3.0.
Goodluck!
Hello. Plz help.my note not recognize my sd card suddenly when i power off the phone then opened again. In addition the computer also suddenly nt recognize phone but the odin recognise when put it in USB debugging mode.also when open gallary it says SD card is in USB storage mode......thanks alot
does the sd card work in a different phone?
same here, my sd card works on other phone
Yes it works....also when opening camera it says turn off usb mass storage
But in recovery mood.it can read the sd when click on install zip from sd card
In recovery mode the inbuild memory is called sdcard, some not-stock recovery can separate between the two memories.
That said, your mentioning maybe wrong.
Is the card mSDXC, or regular mSDHC?
If there's nothing important on your card, try to format it inside the Note.
If there's important stuff on it, copy it to your pc (using a USB-SDHC-Cardreader) and format it inside the Note after that.
Sometimes the connection between the sdcard and the phone gets disturbed, so manual ejection of the sdcard out of the Note, cleaning the sdcard-contacts and putting it in again (repeat for 2 to 4 times) may help, too.
