Odd usb connector issues - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories

Just got my USB adapter for the 10.1, and I have two SanDisk Cruzer flash drives; the first one 2 GB and the other 16 GB. I've formatted them both with Easus partition manager and even through the basic windows format tool.
The 2 GB one works just fine when I connect it to my GT, but I can't get the 16 GB one to recognize for the life of me!
They are both FAT32, so i'm not sure what else to do?
thanks for the help!

2gb Micro SD Not Showing

I Bought a 2gb Sandisk Micro SD card but it doesnt show in the memory section or using any file explorer, the 256mb one i got with the phone does work though.
Ive formatted to fat in windows as it works perfect with xp and OSX even shows it.
ive installed the sd fix from the forum but that doesnt fix my problem. Any Advice other than get another card?
ROM : 3.4.206.2 WWE
Radio : 02.67.90
Protocol : 4.1.13.28
ExtROM 3.4.206.101
Thanks in Advance
I hope you didn't buy a 2GB Micro SDHC card as currently only SD works on the Artemis. I have a 6GB Micro SDHC sitting in a draw, so it's an easy mistake to make. If it's SD, then not sure what the problem is.
It doesnt say on it sdhc, il have to wait till i get home now to find out as i aint got the adapter for it and look at it in windows
Have a few other things:
Double check it's formatted FAT32 < never tried FAT16, but that definitely works . You didn't buy this from China on Ebay did you, I bought a mini SD a couple of years ago as 'genuine Kingston' that only worked on my PC and never worked in my phone. There are some seriously dodgy copies out there.
If it's SDHC it should say on the card itself, so it's probably just SD.
Thought they had to be fat not fat 32
All Working now, dumped it in my camera, took a picture and then put it in the phone and it worked straight away sods law
cheers for the help
hallo sharktech,i also bought a 2 gb sd-card today and it works.
try to take out and in the card. i had same problem with an 512 mb card...

[Q] Help, 32GB sdcard not working!

My Kingston 32GB microSD is not working. I plugged it into my computer, a Win7 x64 laptop, through the adapter included with it. At the same time, I used my phone's disk drive feature to mount my old 2gb and copy everything from the 2 to the 32. I then copied the new incubus warm z ROM to the new card as well. I plugged the 32gb card into my phone, and it seemed to be fine. Then I booted recovery, made a nandroid, all still fine. I then wiped my device to install warm z, then did install zip from sd card and selected it and hit install. It came back bad file install failed. Now, nothing reads my 32gb sdcard. The 2GB continues to work fine. Any suggestions? The 2gb had 100 MB free at the time of copying if it matters
Have you tried reformatting. I know there are programs out there for reformatting corrupt SD cards when windows can't get it done.
You can try to repair the SD card through Windows. Mount the SD card to your computer. My Computer, Right click on the SD card drive, Properties,Tools Tab,Check drive for errors.

Repairing through windows doesn't work. I also tried snow leopard disk utility, which also fails. I'll look for one of those programs and report back.

Try this. It's an official SD card formatting program from Panasonic that formats SD cards to official specs. You can then use Windows to format it to Fat32 if needed. I have used 2.0 on my Win7 x64, and you'll see the 3.0 beta they have for the SDXC cards. I haven't had any issues with it, since I have about 6 microSD's for various MP3 players, phones, computer stuff, it's what I use when reformatting.

I tried the 3 beta and the 2 stable; both say that the write-protection switch is on when it is not. Any suggestions?
I'm pretty sure write protection is found in the reader. Maybe try another
I tried it in my laptop's internal reader and in my USB reader. The USB reader was tried on Windows 7 x64 and on Mac OS X 10.6.6.
None worked.
Give this a read.

I'll try the tape thing and report back. My Transcend 8gb class 6 SDHC, meanwhile, works great in the internal. If it matters, I have a Gateway MD2419U laptop
No dice on the tape trick...
I don't know. I guess just keep trying different stuff. Someone said they were able to format a 1gb partition onto the card with there camera. Then through that partition they were able to format entire card. I've seen a few people claiming hdd low level format will fix any problem. You didn't get your card off eBay did you
Well my **** camera didn't do the trick either.... No, I didn't get it off ebay. I dislike ebay with a passion lol
Unfortunately, being a minor, I do not possess a credit card or PayPal account, so my dad found one and ordered it for me. I know for a fact that he doesn't have an ebay account.
Well it's dead... I talked to a couple people at best buy today and they confirmed it.

StickMount with 64GB stick

i found a deal this morning on a 64GB USB stick...i have an OTG cable and using StickMount accessing USB storage works, but the largest stick i had to try it on was 16GB
does anyone know if a 64GB stick will work?
also - on LiquidSmooth 1.4, when i unmount the usb storage it also unmounts internal storage and i need to restart the phone...if you use a ROM which does not require a restart and using StickMount, please let me know which one it is
It probably will, but if it doesn't, just format the USB stick to have two 32 GB FAT32 partitions.
Don't know about the second part tho.

Stickmount working with 64GB flash drive
Just went through all this, and found that if I used a 3rd party disk formatter (in my case Easus) I could format a 64gb flash drive as one 64gb partition, and read it on my Nexus 10 with StickMount.
That 32GB limit is just Microsoft BS. And both exFAT32 and NTFS did not work; even though they mounted, the drives appeared empty on the Nexus.
I've been using a 64GB USB flash drive with my Galaxy Nexus for quite a while and it works very well. StickMount was having trouble with UTF-8 characters when the drive was formatted as exFAT, so I re-formatted it as NTFS using a Windows 7 computer and now all is well. It's formatted with a single partition. Note that I'm still running under Android version 4.1.2. I haven't wanted to deal with the Bluetooth issues I've heard about when using 4.2.1. As far as I know, StickMount is working with 4.2.1, though it may still have some quirks that people are working around.

32gb microsd SDHC problem!!

Hi,
I bought a trancend 32gb microsd SDHC class4 card for the note about 10 days back..Worked fine for 2 days then suddenly stopped working...Stopped working means does not get detected in the phone or on the laptop (there is no option for mount/unmount on the phone)..Ive tried my older 8gb card on my phone and that works fine..Ive also tried the screwed up card on my blackberry bold and it doesnt detect there as well..
Well, i thought its the card's fault and ordered a replacement...
They sent one and same story again!! worked for 2 days and same thing again
Now i dont know if its the card's problem or my phone's..Anybody with any idea??
PS - i am rooted and on criskelo v11.2 with speedmod 3-13 if it matters...also both times i had about 15gb of data in the card...
ive also tried blowing and cleaning the contacts..also tried inserting a piece of paper in the slot to cancel out loose contacts but nothing works
Thanks..
What was the file system on the card?

Very strange problem , but I am facing the same problem with a Trancend 32 GB card replaced twice and worked only for 1 day and then stopped recognising , not sure if it makes a diff the Mobo was replaced by Service center about 4 months back ,, may be a mobo fault? but my 16GB card just works fine
same thing happened to me also ..... i replaced a new 32g card let me see if it works fine or i will never buy another 32gb trancend card
since both r indians ill talk in tat context
flipkart now says they wont replace anymore and will refund the amount as credit! He also adviced that sandisk works better on the note for this capacity..i dont know wat logic he had! please do update if u find a solution/alternate
@anirudh - which company is that 16gb from? maybe ill have to make do with 16gb since 32 doesnt work
32Gb micro SDHC class 4 by Transcend, not recognised by GT N7000
Hi All,
I'm using a GT N7000 on Official 4.1.2 XXLT5 (recently updated). I'm using a Transcend microsd 32gb class 4 for about a year now with this note. But I'm facing this issue of 'blank SD' and 'unable to format' from 2-3 months now after I updated to one of the official OS upgrade.
I've tried reverting back to all the earlier versions of Android where it worked fine, but there seems to be no change. I can read the card using an external card reader in my laptop, but not through the phone.
I've tried formatting it to all the possible types (NTFS, exFAT, FAT32), nothing seems to work, for the note. I can read it on PC though.
I tried reading the same card in another device, but now it's not readable in that as well. Any suggestion/solution, much appreciated.
Thanks

Boot into recovery mode and go to mounts and storage. From there format the external memory card (format /sdcard). Alternatively you could try with a format from the "storage" in settings.
Use the card reader with ur pc. Go to disk management and format the card FAT32. Before formating, delete the partition/partitions on ur card. U should get unallocated space. Create partition and it should work. The big problem is that u may see some problems between note and 32gb card. The phone it may restart and u should go to recovery/download mode to restart it... good luck.

[Q] 64 GB MicroSD card & OTG cable.....

Hi Fellow FLO owners!
Has anybody had any luck when using a 64 GB MicroSD card with their OTG cable?
I have already unlocked the bootloader and loaded a custom recovery and rooted my device, I then replaced my 32 GB microSD card with a new 64GB hooked up to my OTG cable via the USB port. For the life of me, I cannot read the newly formatted 64 GB MicroSD card? Has anyone tried this yet with a 64 GB sized card and was able to read their data? Was there something special I needed to do as well, download some other app or what have you?
If so, please tell me HOW you got that working or PM me.
Thanks!
Far-from-new-to-rooting and unlocked bootloaders, but, baffled nevertheless.

While I don't have a tablet in my hands yet to confirm or deny this theory, my guess is this:
A 64GB microSDXC card is going to come preformatted with exFAT; your stock Nexus 7 can't read exFAT partitions.
You can either reformat the card, or use a program to mount exFAT partitions (like this thing), or install a ROM that can read exFAT partitions (CyanogenMod 10.2 can do so; so can others, probably).
Ah, that sounds good, I shall give it a try and report back on my results! Thanks very much!!!

Oh, before I forget to mention it:
What recovery are you using? There's a very good chance it will be able to read / format the card for you.
Really? TWRP v 26.00
Oh well, I already reformatted it to NTFS now, the Paragon App didn't work. Currently, recopying files over now to the microSD card as we speak, will take about an hour.
Thanks again!
