Hi guys, i got a problem mounting the microsd on my hd2.
I've seen that the problem is in every rom.
Well.. every android rom tested seem to no recognize the sd... only a Gb of internal storage is founded... but if i open a file manager i can see the sd folder and navigate inside it...
I got an hd2 with android on sd and wp7 nand... and i already tested doing privilege fix... but nothing change.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
You have WP7, which uses part of your SD card as internal storage. Mount it on a computer and use a partition tool. Do you see the rest of the SD card?

OK not to cause confusion here but I think both of the above are slightly wrong. The reason you get 1GB of 'internal' storage on SD ROMs in general is because it uses a file called a data.img which is read by Android as internal storage. You will be able to use a file manager to access the SD card and you'll see all of the music etc which is on your SD card but if you try moving an app to your SD it won't work anymore.
However, I haven't used SD Android in a long time so perhaps wis or hengsheng are right
^He is correct. Internal storage is data.img, and it's usually set to 1GB of size. Your SD card has nothing to do with your internal storage when talking about SD-Android. However, I think you can download another one with a larger size, or just set it to a larger size in the boot up script.
(Either way, make a backup, because I don't think you can "enlarge" a data.img neither can you migrate apps/data from one to another.)

I get this message when I open the music player. Similar for the gallery too.
I have WP7 installed and am dual booting with Android 2.3 (Cope's build) with MagLdr. I had first installed WP7 with a 2GB sd card, then copied the partitions to an 8gb card, and installed Android in the expanded fat 32 partition. WP7 partition is the primary and Fat32 is logical.
The android boots fine, but I get this message when I open Music app. "your phone does not have an sd card inserted". I can browse the sd card using file explorer and even play mp3s from there. Just that the apps doesn't seem to know how to read it.
Any idea what is wrong?
ps: I searched the forum but could not find an answer.
The FAT32 partition needs to be primary also.

That worked. Both the partitions are marked "primary" now, and the apps are now able to read it. Thanks very much.
How did u set it to primary partition.
I am facing the same problem in android 2.3 in my dev phone
Can i make partition on internal storage? If yes than what is the best partition tool because i have the same issue and no one replied me..

Hi all. I have a stock a500 with 3.1. Not rooted. I put in the 16gb SD card with files in it and I don't get any indication of the card in the bottom right corner. My phone however will recognize it and the files that are on it. Any suggestions? Ty for any replies
"Try unplugging it, and plugging it in again" - Mistabishi 'Printer Jam'.
What FS is the card formatted to? Have you tried any other card that is known to work? Also, try formatting the SD as FAT32 again from the phone.
I am having the SAME issue on my acer. It wont recognize my 16gb sandisk card. I tried formatting as described and I tried another card. Both are showing up in my HTC inspire but nothing on the acer. Whats the deal? When I go to storage in settings- the external SD total space is recognized but it is not allowing me to access it for storage using app2sd?
this SD card worked just fine on the transformer I took it out of.

Are you even able to see the SD card? check /mnt/sd-external to see if it shows up. If it's there, create a directory, then delete it. Also, check the ".android-secure" hidden directory that should be on the SD card after using app2sd. If the permissions are not set correctly, you won't be able to use app2sd with it (reason for create/delete of the directory). Sidenote, I've seen quite a few apps named app2sd, some of them listed are showing up on my end as non-working with the A500 where others listed should work fine.

Still, that does not give me anything to go on. Did you format the card again? Is the card formatted in FAT32? Have you tried formatting the card from your computer using a card reader? I've had SD cards not show up before, reformatting them correctly solved the issue each time. If you don't know what filesystem the card is formatted with, grab a LiveCD with gparted on it (almost any gnome distribution) and I can help you from there. I haven't used Windows since XP SP2 was first released (FCKGW-... if you know what I mean) and I have refused to touch anything Apple since the IIe. Hence the signature.
formatting
Not sure what format they are in. I used a thunderbolt to for mate and a fsscinate and neither were visible. I'll go check what you recommended above though.
What are you guys talking about?
To the OP: You won't have any indication at the bottom. That feature doesn't exist on our devices (but some custom roms based on xoom and ?ASUS? have it). Just check the System screen to see if it finds your sd or simply make a photo from your camera (just set it to save the pictures to your SD). Or use a program and check /mnt/external-sd
To da9b16: a2sd won't work on this device (besides it has enough internal memory).
You'll only be able to access SD directly from your internal memory if you root the device and use a program that creates a symlink from /mnt/external-sd to /sdcard (USB Mount All does this but it's not free) or if you simply navigate to /mnt/external-sd with a file explorer.
I hope that this clears some confusion.

You don't have to have a ext partition to make your phone recognize your sd card.
Anyways, random issues can occur running android using the sd card method. I would recommend you to flash android in your nand. More stable, and faster
hi every one,
i use HD2 T-mobile, and my rom : nand WP 7.5, SD Android.

Please help me,

maybe contacts oxidized or a bit dirty. take out your sd-card and look at its contacts - clean contacts should shine.

Thanks for answer, but i dont think so, because i still window phone 7.5 in my phone. Because rom android on sd? I dont known, no body take a question like me. I use rom android of boxmax v3.
Please help me!
You can't mount SD Card because Android is running off the SD card. It reads the data.img on the SD card as internal storage and doesn't detect any SD card (I think) so it won't work. Also, in future please use a proper thread title, 'Question' tells us nothing about your problem

Hmm i remember there being some sort of trick to allow one to still mount the SD card , this was on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 running Froyo , but i dont see why it wont work here . Maybe if you partition the SD card ? I cant remember exactly what it was i'll browse around over on PPCGeeks to see if i can find it

I faced the same problem.
I'm using WP7.5 on NAND.
And Android 2.2 Sense on SD CARD.
Doesn't read anything from the sd card. Doesn't read my APKS etc..( I had massive data corruptions)
So i ended up removing Wp7.5 and reinstalling Android back.
SD partition of Android should be set to Primary which means you should have two Primary partition for WP7 & Andy.
you should see those in mini partition tool

Hey Folks,
I'm using my HD2 in Dual Boot with WP7 and Android on extra SD Partition. I've installed WP7 on NAND Memory and all the data like Apps, Music and Pics are stored in a 10GB Partition on my SD Card. I created a second partition with the 6GB wich are left from my 16GB SD Card. There i placed some different Android SD Build Roms. They are all running fine on my HD2 and i can boot without any problems into Android SD.
My only problem is that my Android SD Build doesnt recognize any SD Storrage Card. I cant put any Pics or Music on my Android or even download something with Android. Is there a way to get the Android Partition on my SD Card as SD Storrage?
Would be prety cool to have a solution for this problem.
Thanks and Greets
