S4 + Micro SD help - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

hey gang, was wondering about getting some advice on what to do about my sd card...
i bought a sandisk micro sd with its adapter and figured id stock it up for when my s4 shows up... the thing is, it wouldnt mount to my macbook pro, mounted just fine to the macbook air, so i stocked it via file sharing...
but down the road? not really the way i would like to do it, the sd reader works fine on the pro, works with other sd cards...
my question is... in the best opinions, do you all think i should run to best buy, try out a different brand like PNY micro sd and adapter? or another sandisk and see if maybe its just this particular adapter...??
if they dont work, i can atleast return it then just buy the external reader... etc etc
thanks

It's probably the adapter, I've never had an issue with mine. another option is to get a usb adapter which is just what i use now

Reason I speculate adapter is because it works on one but not other.

you're right, it could just as easily be the port on your mac too, so it would still be cheaper to initially try another adapter

Apple store put another sd card, worked just fine... Bought another sandisk and a pny micro. Will test it out later. Hopefully one works.

just plugged in the new Sandisk 32gb micro sd, same exact copy, just a new one... mounted perfectly! that was easy...
mods -- close this thread please!

I'm looking a miniSD card adapter

Hi all,
I'm looking for one, but I don't want to buy a less than 6GB microSD in order to get the miniSD adapter. I've checked the Sandisk 6GB package, but I couldn't find it. Am I missing something?
BTW, if you have an adapter for sales, pls PM or email me at tqsn1 at yahoo.com. I'll paypal you. I prefer the one is living in USA b/c I can't afford out-of-country shipping cost.

Oh NO, I should have read a little closer. Thanks!
Verizon has a 1Gb micro w/ mini and standard adapters for $29.00. Just don't show off your phone it depresses them.
if you want a good quality one go for the one made by nokia.

if your trying to save money you don't have to buy an adapter if you use activesync. Just put your sd card in your phone and connect your device to the pc (active sync will open), hit the explore button on activesync, go to my windows based mobile device, then storage card and drag and drop the files you want on the card.
I bought this one and I really like it. The card is only 4GB, but works for me. It may be a little pricey but I needed the card and wanted the adaptor. I love it!
HTH,

8gb micro hcsd works on titan no problem

Just wanted to let everyone know I recently purchased an 8gb micro sd card for my mogul and didnt have to do anything to make it work. I bought it brand new on ebay for 60 bucks with shipping. The card came with sd card adapter, case for the micro sd card and usb card reader where you simply slide you microsd card in it very awesome. if you wanted to, it even comes with a little keyring so u could put the usb adapter on ur keys or anything you wanted to. I just thought i would let you guys know, since everyone has been really cool with me. In case you were wondering what rom i am using, I have jd's 2.17 custom rom.

kingston 8gb class 4 doesn't work on my tilt

I purchased a kingston 8gb class 4 microSD card for $20 from buy.com. The problem is that it doesn't show up on anything! I plugged it in my Tilt and nothing happened. I plugged it in my palm centro and nothing happened (although i wasn't expecting it to work on it in the first places lol). I plugged it in my Dell E1705 laptop which has a built-in card reader and it didn't read the card either.
Right now im assuming the the card is defective.......should i ask for a refund or should i ask for a replacement since i find the price to be really cheap...
Are there any hotfixes i should run in order to make sure the card is defective?
Please advise
The card reader in your Dell (at least from the specs I can find on it) does not support SDHC, only SD, which is why it doesn't work there. The same goes for the Palm Centro, so neither of those is a valid test of the card. As for why it doesn't work in your kaiser, who knows?
yea thats the thing thats bugging me out. I did download the hotfix from MS for my laptop which supposedly allows it to read SDHC cards but when i try to install the hotfix, it says i have a newer version already installed and there is no need for an update....So im assuming my laptop card is hdhc compatible
I have that same card in my tilt and it works fine....
I vote for a dead card. Return it.
Your card is definatly defective, some current computers do not detect SDHC cards, but if your tilt didn't detect it, then it's a whole different story.
Contact the seller for the exchange immediately
I agree with the other posts. Return the card and get an exchange or refund. I use a Kingston 8GB micro SDHC in my Tilt with no problems. I got it from NewEgg for less than $20 with a USB adapter, miniSD adapter and an SD adapter!
same card im also having...
just tried many sdhc patches...
atlast this one worked on my artemis.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58394&d=1195209755
hope it works for u too.....
Are you sure, that your builtin cardreader supports SDHC?? With my storage card there was an miniUSB cardreader included.
I just bought this same card over the weekend and it works fine in my Kaiser. Maybe you got a faulty card, or maybe the card needs to be formatted... Since it's new, you should probably ask for an exchange or refund.

[Q] XD Card Reader???

Anyone have a specific card reader that has worked with XD cards? Going on vacation and my underwater cameras are all XD and would like to be able to view on the A500.. Thanks!
P.S. all of the cards must be FAT formatted... Problem?
@smoothsl.....You might want to look at the "Targus TGR-MSR" I purchased mine in Walmart it was about $13 but I think you can get it cheaper on line. Mine clearly states that it is USB 2.0 and will read/write the following.....XD...Compact Flash...SDHC...SD/MMC...Micro SD...Memory Stick...SDXC. I honestly haven't used it for XD cards, only Micro SD & SDXC but those work perfectly. A note on formatting, if you use the proprietary SD application it may only format it as "Ext" (at least it did for my 64Gb SDXC card) and I found that the A500 wouldn't read or write to it so I had to use Windows to format as Fat32 and this worked fine. On my smaller 16Gb Micro SD there was no such problem.
Hope it helps.
can t you plug onto USB your camera ?
just asking, like with a cable, if yes well you normally will be able to get all picture on the tablet and import them without need of another Card Reader.
Else you need one on USB

SD and Micro SD card support

Hello
I wanted to know if one plus 5 can read either the Micro SD or the SD card, if I use a card reader for this. I tried with one : https://www.amazon.com/Vanja-standa...martphones/dp/B01JJ1VDQK/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t
Though my laptop read both the cards (and my laptop has a SD card slot) but none of my phones or my tablet did. So I was wondering if one plus 5 has the support to read the memory cards.
thanks

Well, it has support for USB OTG (on the go), and I have tested the USB OTG with a USB C OTG flash drive and it did work. You have to enable it in the settings first, and I can't get TWRP to see it, but it works fine in file browser apps.

I want the micro SD and SD cards I have in my older phone/tablet and my laptop to be read by my one plus 5 phone. Flash drive is OK, but not micro SD or SD card.
thanks

I know, I'm just saying, it has OTG support, which is what the thing you linked is. So in theory, it should work. But no promises.
OK, if you can get an adaptor to fit the sd card reader (usb-A to c), found one in my S8+ box, then you can use the sd card adaptor. Tried with one I have and an older sd card. Read fine...

can you send an image of the connection?
and also which card reader u r using?
It is something like this - https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/comsol-usb-type-c-to-type-a-adaptor-cocmafad or this https://www.firefold.com/adapter-us...OJySZV1E44FQIt58RIlHe51HLDHD67YaAv6LEALw_wcB- but all in one with a lexar micro sd reader attached.
I found mine in the Samsung galaxy S8+ box
what why just get a USB-c micro sd car reader. Slide the micro sd card into and plug it in. Forget all the crazy wired adapters. Something like this....
https://www.amazon.com/Lexar-microS...29&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+c+micro+sd+card+reader
Mine allows more than just sd cards - old school usb keys that aren't OTG, possibly HDD's/SSD's and other USB equipment.
If you just want micro sd cards though, that's a good idea....

Hello
Till now I have tried all these sd and micro sd card readers from amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019PI2WPS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JJ1VDQK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NBECO3G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and I am sorry to say, that none of them work with One Plus 5. The phone does not read the cards at all. Is there something in the OS that maybe does not allow the cards to be read?
I really need something that works, or some workaround, since I have 3 different cards, with lots of my music on them.
2 cards are exFat and one card is vFat, if that helps.
The Flash drive with the OTG cable works OK.
thanks

No idea. I toggle the OTG on in settings and just plug mine in and it works.
Hello
OK I have got it working now. I installed Total Commander file manager and that read my sd card. So now ES File Explorer also reads it. The thing is that I have to keep total commander installed, otherwise ---- Es File Explorer stops reading the card.
Yep, OTG seems to only allow the Stock file explorer toread the OTG devices, nice to know the workaround...
