Annoying problem with SD card - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I am on Nov 7 nightly and my SD card can be read by my G4 but not by my computer. If plug the sd directly to the computer it is recognized and works. It is quite annoying because I have a hard time transferring pictures/video to the computer. Tried to rescan SD, but nothing.
Anybody with the same problem? Any fix?

Noticed nexus drivers on PC, replaced them manually with Google USB drivers and now everything is fine.

[Q] HTC Evo Not Connecting to PC Correctly

I've been having troubles trying to get my rooted Evo to connect to my PC. Whenever I plug the device in, the windows XP USB inserted sound plays, then within 2 seconds or so the USB removed sound plays and the sd card is ejected before I have time to access any of the files from the computer. However, if i go into clockworkmod and mount the sd card that way, the files are accessible on my computer. Either way though, my phone wont charge via USB. I tested my USB cable with another phone of mine and it works fine so I know that isn't causing the problem. I've also tried plugging the device into multiple computers with the same result. Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

[Q] SD card no longer recognised in windows

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 )

Transfering Files Off Phone Problems

i downloaded a bunch of tv shows threw them on my SD card while it was in the note. i get home and go to transfer them from the phone to the computer and after a few seconds i get an error "A device attached to the system is not functioning" what the hell, ive never had this issue on any phone. ok so i thought it might have been my 16gb SD card doing this but it seems every SD card i try keeps giving this error and locking me out of the SD card unless i disconnect and reconnect. anyone else having this problem or know how i can fix it?
If you have an SD Card reader try with that. If not a different USB Cable or possibly a different computer. Did you just get that particular SD Card which fails to connect?
getting an SD card reader defeats the point, i dont want to constanly rip the back off my phone to take the SD card out, my issue is every time i plug the phone in it is recognized and i can see the SD card or the internal storage. ill go and try transfering a file from either storage areas and it gives me a transfer error mid way through, it has done this on 3 different computers with 5 different usb cables, its something to do with the dumb MTP storage crap, anyone know a way i can fix this problem? help please

The suggestion was you try with a card reader to make sure it's not the card itself that may be bad. Several machines ans cables and still no luck may just say "the card is bad".

Or try AirDroid from the Google Play Market. Uses wifi.
Also, some sd cards have poor factory formatting.
For each of my sd cards, I always do a full, non-quick, format, before I use it.
thanks but no its not memory card, or cable related, its poor drivers by samsung, the internet is full of people complaining about this issue with allot of the newer samsung phones. i finally got it to work after spending a few hours installing and uninstalling drivers and countless reboots

Please tell me how you got it right? Ive been struggling with this thing for so long and its such a hangup powering off the phone to take out the sd card!
No issues here, and I've been using the same drivers as my GS2 did. Did you try USB Mass Storage mode?
From my experience my computer will see my card on and off when it was formatted to xfat but after reformatting it to fat32 as soon as i plug my phone in it will automatically detect my card without installing or changing drivers.

Sd card issues

My sd card has stopped being recognized by my phone. It occasionally is recognized by CWM but then suddenly stops. I have reformatted it on my phone and using disk utility on my Mac, making sure to use fat 32. I have read several posts on Internet describing ways to diagnose and repair sd card using a pc, anybody know of any way to do this on a mac? Also, my mac recognizes it fine, both inside my phone when connected to mac and using the card through a reader. I don't want to scrap it since my computer recognizes it, but I really need it for my phone.

This also happened to me. My guess was the media scanner was messed up in the rom I was using but happened in multiple roms. Probably a software problem, but I couldn't fix the problem until I replaced the microsd card with a completely formatted and different one and has since been okay. I have my other microsd card as a back up though.

Mtp and Sd card issues

Hi everyone, recently I've had 2 problems with my honor 8 pro. The first one is that suddenly, when I connect my phone to the pc and I select mtp the pc doesn't recognize it. It is a pc problem because on another one it works flawlessly. I can make it recognize it with hisuite but it doesn't serve the purpose of transferring files.
The second problem is that suddenly I can't delete files from my SD card.
Does any of you have any idea about one or the other issue?
Sandisk micro sd card? They have a 'feature' that if your card becomes (about to?) defective, it becomes read only.
Check another card to see if it works well.
Actually it's Samsung. I'm gonna try to format it when I get home
