Hi,
Since recently I can't access the Galaxy Note II SD card when connected on USB. I'm on Osx and I'm using Android File Transfert.
It was works like a charm. Now I can plug the phone have acces to the internal storage, but when I try to access the SD card the message telling that the device may be lock or unplugged is displayed.
I'm on Android 4.3 Stock. I search on internet but found nothing conclusive.
Thanks.
Regards,

I can no longer access my SD card from my windows pc when connected by USB. This occurred on the same day that i unlocked my bootloader, installed the java sdk and android sdk.
I have the phone set MSC (mass storage mode) and connect it by USB as I always did in the past.
Windows recognises that something is connected and a new removable drive is created.
In the past my phone would give me the option to connect the memory card, however this no longer happens.
Clicking on the new drive in Windows causes a message box to pop up saying "Please insert a disk in drive..."
No amount of fiddling with usb settings (debugging, MTP, etc) plugging / unplugging or rebooting has made any difference. I've tried reinstalling USB drivers and removing & reinstalling Sony PC companion. I've also tried accessing the sd card from ubuntu in a virtual machine, but that also doesn't work.
I can view the SD cards contents from my phone and through an adb link.
Does anyone have a solution? From extensive googling, the only things i can see that i haven't tried is:
- trying a different cable (which has been suggested but sounds pretty daft to me)
- reformatting the sd card
Any other suggestions? If i do have to format the sd card, are there any good guides or is there anything i need to avoid doing???
Can you read the card from a card reader.
if you can it is then either drivers or the cable

unfortunately i don't have a card reader. I'll give it a try tonight in my girlfriend's phone and with a usb cable and see how that works out.
it will definitely work with a card reader...this problem occurs when usb storage suddenly stops working as soon as usb is connected..i guess best way is to reinstall ROM if the problem persist.
Flashing firmware (global v62) got it working again )
Hi,
For some reason I've been unable transfer files to my (external) SD Card while it's installed in my S3 and connected via USB. I always get an error message (on Windows).
I always have to pull the Micro-SD card out and connect it via a card reader on my PC.
Anyone else encounter the same issue.
I'm using Windows 7.
I could post screen-caps of the error messages later if needed.
Are you able to transfer files to and from the internal storage of the S3?

When you are attempting to transfer files are you dragging the file to the phone storage or external? When you drag the file over your phone it should auto open a dropdown that has phone and then SD card or external card. Also are you on a bootcamped Mac running Windows 7? Mac will throw those errors unless you copy the file from your Mac partition to your Windows partition.
Just to knock the easy ones out of the way... USB debugging enabled, drivers installed for MTP?
Can you post the error message please?
And no the irony isn't lost on me that I own a macbook pro and have a member ID poking fun at Apple. I'm a full Android convert. I love my macbook though...
Hi,
I just got my S 10.5 tablet and loving it so far.
One thing though, I cannot seem to write to my Micro SD card (Samsung 32 GB).
I see it on the table and can format it, browse it.
When I connect to my PC, I see the tablet, as a media device that opens to two drives which are browsable but anytime I just try to create a directory, it hangs...
The behavior is same if I switch to Camera mode.
I tried retrieving and installing USB drivers from Samsung site but changed nothing...
I'm getting desperate... My only option is to remove the SD card, mount it on my phone, transfer my files then back on the tab.... ouch...
Thanks
Hi all,
Just a quick question. I have the tab s 10.5 t800 non rooted (at this stage). I am having trouble with the sd card. The problem is that when I transfer some files to my tablet from my PC when I go to access them sometimes it comes up with 'file not found'. This seems to happen a lot when I transfer comics across from my computer to the tablet. Initially they are there and I can access them but then when I got to access them later its telling me the file isn't found.
Is this because I'm not rooted? I have read that kitkat doesn't like writing to external sd card but this is from computer to tablet so I thought would be okay.
Any advice greatly appreciated
Cheers

The Tab S seems to be incredibly picky as to which SD cards play nice and which do not, even across the same brand/model of card.
Try a different card.
I've detailed my own SD issues in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/galaxy-tab-s-deleted-sd-card-files-t2971447
thanks mate Ill check it out. Appreciate your reply
I typically swap cards from an old device to a newer one... phone, tablet, etc. This time, I took the Sandisk 64gb card from my Acer A700 and installed it into my 10.5" Tab S and... it read as a blank card. Back into the A700 and it read fine. Checked on my PC and no errors. I finally resolved all issues by transferring all my data to my PC, installing the card into the Tab S, letting the tablet format the card, and then transferring all the files back over USB. Everything's working great now, but geez... seriously?
Hi folks,
Lineage 16 (latest version) is now installed on my S5, however when I connect the USB, the phone just shows as 'SM-G900F' on my W10 PC and cannot be expanded, basically no Phone and Card folders.
I can see them in the phone no problem, but once I connect it, I am not prompted with the usual message on what I want to do, like file transfer etc. and on the left menu appears only the model of the phone.
I had no issues when I flashed the original firmware, so it must be related to Lineage.
I also installed the Android USB drivers, but no go.
Changing the USB Preferences, to PTP or File Transfer only allows me to see the phone folder but no SD.
I also tried a new SD, no success.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Alex

I have re-flashed everything and started from the beginning.
lineage-16.0-20190918-nightly-klte-signed + open_gapps-arm-9.0-mini-20190921
SanDisk SD Card 32GB, either way I try to format it does the following:
Phone Storage: attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.os.storage.VolumeInfo.getId()' on a null object reference.
SanDisk SD Card unsupported
Portable Storage: When I hit format, it says: Your Card is ready to use - I click Done but still the cart shows in the Storage area as portable Storage SanDisk SD Card Unsupported
The card is OK, also because if I flash the original ROM the same card works perfectly and shows up in my PC too.
This is very annoying, I am stuck on this for days and even trying other cards I get the same.
I hope you can help me to resolve this matter.
Thank you!
Alex
