to be safe when i am on pc and using as external storage, i make sure that i eject the phone from the pc(windows=safely remove hardware) and then on phone i pull down notification bar and click on usb disk drive option and change to charge only. then i remove phone from computer. i makes sure the phone and computer both know you are removing USB and so they both stop trying to access the sdcard
Thanks. It works everytime I remember not to just unplug it. Lol

ok, so when i plug in my g2 into my computer all that pops up when i turn on the usb storage is the external sd, how can i access the internal memory files with my computer?
can i get a quick response please, like, are you guys able to access it? or is mine having a problem? or is this normal?
Its normal, when you connect the phone through USB, the phone acts as a card reader.
so i cannot access the internal sd or memory of the phone?
You will not have access to system files.....
I noticed the same thing. If you use explorer you can copy past or move from within the phone, but I also noticed that I cannot get the phone storage directly. Which is weird coming from a vibrant

Go to MARKET
search for "File Manager" Adao Team
Install.. then play with it.
USB storage is mounting the the 8GB SD card to your computer. The ROM is used for apps and the OS.

Vibrant got around this by having 'phone storage', and 'internal SD card', and the regular sd card. you still couldn't get to the phone storage area.
Thanks guys, I came from a vibrant so I was a tad confused
hi all,
when ever i connect my DHD via usb, it reads charge only, but still mounts my sd. I've connected my friends DHD too and also reads charge only but doesn't mount his sd (i thought it would be an issue since im using mac, but doesn't seem so). However, whilst connected, if i change it to disk drive and then back to charge only, it unmounts my sd from the pc and i can access once more from my phone.
Has anyone had this problem before, or any ideas on how to actually change it to charge only once connected to a pc?
thanks
Never had that sort of problem on the PC, might be a setting that you have to change like USB debugging. Don't see why though, never heard of this problem to be honest. I'd contact the place i got the phone from if you have tried all settings.
I've tried with both usb debugging on and off but still have the same problem. I've tried all that i could think of...just can't figure it out :/
i have the same problem!
got tha same problem, since i got 2 DHDs at the moment ill check that out later.
Actually when you connect your phone to the pc the sd card cannot be mounted on the phone even if you choose charge only ... i saw some app on the market the other day which allows your sd card to be mounted both on the pc and the phone .... cant quite remember the name .. I am sure it will come up if you do a google

i thought that if you connect the phone to pc and is set on charge only, one could use the sd from the phone(ex. one can view pics taken from camera or use an app that is saved on the sd)...I'm pretty sure that that is the case when my friend connects his DHD to a pc...but ill take a look and check if there is an app like the one mentioned above, thanks

Simple fact the SD card should not mount straight away that is why you get the option if you do not choose one it goes to charge only as default if your SD card is mounting without request there possible hardware fault and you are right with if your phone plugged in and set as charge only you can use as normal with full access to your pics and apps saved on SD anyone tells you different they are wrong
From England with leedroid dhd techo!

the prob is that its mounting without request and even though its set at charge only as default, it still mounts :/
I had this issue when I got mine, it went after applying the first HTC OTA.

did you figure out a way on how to solve it?
Guys I got a sdcard read error this morning but everything was ok. Still could see the sdcards storage and everything. Upon further examination it randomly erased some files which included my game files and my ROMS.
anybody had this type issue before.

I haven't experienced anything like this on my Inc2, but did on my OG Droid. Somehow, a few files became corrupted. I moved all important files and re-formatted the card. Never had the issue again.
I haven't had this issue, but from time to time my sd card randomly unmounts. I have to take off the case and back, remove and re-insert the SD card, put the phone back together and reboot the phone. Very annoying since most of my apps are on the card.
Yeah I backed up everything and reformated the card. So hopefully all will be good.

i have had this happen a couple times on my older phones (Eris, DroidX, Dinc1...)
Reformatting and trying again has worked a couple of times, but i evenutally had to replace 2 SD cards.
I have not had this problem with my Dinc2.
One thing I stopped doing was just unplugging it from my laptop after moving files back and forth.
Now I make sure to kill the connection from my phone first (and watch the explorer window close automatically on my laptop), THEN i unplug the phone.
Probably just lucky so far, but I am sticking with that process until proven that it doesn't matter :good:
Everything has been fine since it happened.

When using USB storage from your phone you always want to safely remove the USB device from within the OS first before turning off USB storage on your phone.
So my SanDisk 32gb sd card stopped working and became completely unresponsive no matter what device i put it in. I tried it in various computers and my tablet and nothing will recognize it except the xperia play and all it says is blank SD card and i tried to format it but it wont even format. Is there anyway to force my SD card to format so i can use it again or is it dead.
I've had the same problem mate.
It was the SanDisk 32gb also so it's probably a bug with the memory card.
There's nothing you can do except for getting a new one
Now I have a Sony 32gb and I almost had the same problem on that....when I insert it into my tablet it sometimes says damaged sd card. But it still works.

How old is the card?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
The card is only a year old, only used it for 6 months, this is the second card to go bad in this phone, same brand and size card also
but i have 2 in my tf700 and they perform like a dream, and this is my 3rd xperia play, so not sure what the issue is, maybe i keep getting bad phones
Hope you dont mind my asking. But, Do you have a habit of unplugging the SD card from your computer without first stopping the usb function on the task/start bar?
i never unplugged the usb cable i would always disable usb mode on my phone, but the very few times i took the card out and put in in my sd card reader i never disabled it, then again, ive never disabled it on any usb device ive ever owned and ive never had a failure like this
I just went out and got an LG G3 using Verizon Edge and overall I'm fairly satisfied. It's a beautiful device and the screen and the camera are both amazing, even over my Samsung Galaxy S4 that I was extremely satisfied with. The phone is currently unrooted and with no applications installed other than the included ones.
I've had a couple problems, the most major being that I can't mount my old microSD card on the G3. I had no issues with the microSD card using my Galaxy S4 where it still works fine. I receive a notification stating that an SD card has been inserted but I can not view any of the files on it and under the Storage section of the Settings app the Mount SD Card button is grayed out.
Settings in general seems to be full of issues, every time I restart the phone it switches back to the list view and when I attempt to open Developer Options I'm only given a black screen for about thirty seconds.
Format the SD card, likely Samsung formatted it differently, for the other, factory reset and replace it if it dittany work

It seems that the card is formatted to exFAT but I can't seem to get my Galaxy S4 to format it. Every time I click Format Card in the menu it unmounts the card momentarily and then just remounts it ~15 seconds later.
Can you yet formatting it on a computer?

I don't have access to a microSD reader. Are there any third party apps that can do it?
Your going to need to get an SD Card reader i'm afraid, reformat it in a computer.
Borrow a friends perhaps?
