hi there
I am having intermittent problems when trying to copy to the SD Card.
I got a 64GB one that I stuck in there and it formatted it fine. but when its plugged into the PC and I am copy - say music - to it, it will pop up a message saying :
'the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected'
, which is infuriating, this happens when its in MTP Mode, but doesnt seem to happen when its in MSC - but obviously I cant get to the internal storage when its plugged in like that.
any suggestions as to what is going on here? - is it just the size of the SD card that it is not happy with
thanks

Hi
until last night whenever I plugged in the O2X to my PC I got 2 different partitions up for the SD card.
today only one SD partition shows up. the other partition, that I used to save music etc. does not.
Android can read it as I can still access my music. But on my PC I cant get it to show up anylonger.
Would anyone know why?
SD card
I have a mostly similiar problem. Today a connect my P990 to PC via USB and it cant mount my SD card. I tried everything and I figured out that the problem isnt in my PC but in phone is something wrong... Normally the android is mount sd card and it works fine just, when I plug phone to pc via usb is cant load sd card, its mount only internal memory. I really disapointed and I dont know whats wrong :/ sorry for my bad english.
problem solved:
just had to remove the card and re-insert it.
sorry for that easy fix, im kinda new and didnt think of it first.

I have another query:
my internal sd shows 5.5GB is that normal? I thought 8GB was the internal storage capacity. Please enlighten!
HI!
I have this problem that when I turn on the file sharing, the computer shows only internal memory card and not the external. Because the phone itself recognizes the external card I have tried to unmount and mount several times without any improvement. I am currently using the latest CM7 nightly, but the problem seemes to have started after I changed the card from 4gb to 16 gb. Any ideas?
EDIT: Erasing sd card from the phones menu helped to solve the problem.
Go Setting>Storage and remount your sd card and try???
I've done that several times....no help... android system accesses the card without problems...music, pics etc.
Did you physically remove your card and reinsert it, or just software remount?
Have you tried the card directly in your computer?
Have a look in windows device manager and see if it reports any problems. (right
click my computer and select manage)
I have tried it all and everything is ok with the sd card itself (I copied recent nightly from the computer on the sd card) also recovery recognizes is... there are also no problems in device manager...
Try to put on debugging mode. And try it with debugging mode on.
If the debugging mode is on try to take it off.

I tried that also and nothing changed.... I have a feeling that it is somehow attached to me using mybackup pro... I restored application apk and data from another phone to this one and It seems that usually the application data should go to internal memory card. In this case it is on external card... so i believe that somehow the programs are still using the card when connected and do not allow phone to share it out... It's just a guess though...
EDIT: so I think the solution is to wipe everything and start all over again
So I fresh installed Rom and wiped everything and the problem still exist... still can see files with file managers in phone and when connected to computer, autorun shows only internal card...
Edit: I tried now 2gb sized sdcard and it works perfectly... the problem is with 16gb card.
Weird. Did you try another USB-port?
I tried different USB-s now and still same I found out that when I connect the phone, under my computer appears two removable disks.... if I turn on the usb connection, only one transforms to usable removable disk (internal) and the other one asks to insert the removable disk. I used the same sd card on my HTC desire with CM nightlies and it worked perfectly... could it be CM-s bug?
Sorry to ask (maby the obvious)
On Your phone.. using your filemanager (Root explorer astro or what-ever..)
Browse to sdcard
Do you have a folder called _externalSD?
On this phone, for some reason the external SD is not mounted under./ but as i said under ./sdcard/ (i.e its mounted under the internal SD card..)
Just a thought
Where the different cards are mounted doesn't make any difference. And as he said, it works with other cards (2GB and 4GB).
CyanogenMOD mounts internal card as /mnt/emmc, and external card as /mnt/sdcard by default.
When turning on USB storage, both cards should be unmounted and shared over USB.
Hi, I had the same problem with mine, and as you said in one of your previous posts, I had to do a format through the phone and as soon as I did that I was good to go.
I did use the same memory card in my old hero so this might have something to do with it... I'm not sure.
By formatting do you mean from the menu Erase SD card? On the desire I actually had the formatting request from the computer, but there was another problem (some of the rom's files were on the sdcards ext or something and I had no access to the card from the USB).... kind of a similar problem if I think back now but after changing to CM, the problem disappeared.
I forgot to mention I am running completely stock rom and unrooted (for the time being) and there is just an option under sd card & phone storage setting to format external sd card
After erasing the sd card from the phone, the computer recognized it i'm currently copying stuff back and i'm pretty sure it does not affect the recognition
I faced the same problem. I had Swapper2 on my NC, and after I uninstalled it (and cleared the data of Swapper2, just in case) everything went to normal back again.
^ a solution.
When pressing enable mass storage on the phone, or going in recovery and doing it that way, it doesn't seem to want to connect
It worked before I messed with the partions on my SD card, so i wounder what I did to break it?
My phone can read my SD card, and if i use a MicroSD to USB then it works, but not phone to computer, it makes a beep beep sound, so i know it sees it.
Thanks
test to format SD card in computer if this don't work test your phone with another SD card
After formatting the card it started working again Thanks!
Hello guys!
I've got a Galaxy S i9000 and i have a 8GB microSD. I used that SD card on my Xperia Play (sold it, but without the SD) and after i got the Galaxy I put my SD in it. Everything worked well, it recognised everything... but today I wanted to put some music on my SD and i noticed that it loads very slowly, and after that i got an error which said: "the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error". And I got that error everytime i tried to copy/paste something from/to my SD.
So I said, ok, I'll just format it. I formated it in recovery, and everything wen well...it was fast again so i just tried to copy some music (2 or 3 GB)...but when it was at 80-90% i got that error again.
I searched on the Internet...and found SD Formater and I used it to format my card again. And after it finished I rebooted my phone. After it loaded a notification came up... "SD Damaged"...i tried to format it again in recovery but nothing changed.
So does anyone know how to fix it? Please help me!
Thanks in advance!
PS: Sry for my English and for the long post.
Try to format the SD card in your Computer or another Portable Device like a Camera, External card Reader etc.,
Always safely remove USB & try to enable USB debug mode.

I formated it in my friend's phone and now my phone recognises it but, it's still slow and i can't format it in my phone because that option is grey and i can't use it :-?? . Well...i guess the card is demaged for real.
Anyway...thx for your reply.
Here's a quick breakdown. I got a 32gb SD Card (Sandisk) for Christmas. I hadn't been able to get it to work properly with my phone since then, thinking I needed a microsd reader to format it. I finally did so and have had a number of problems with it. For starters, I ended up soft bricking my phone as when i rebooted it showed that there was no safe system enabled in safestrap, and I ended up accidentlly rebooting when I didn't have an OS installed.
I FXZd the phone back and have since then been attempting to get the SD card working. All of the phone's SD and Internal memory are cut and pasted onto my PCs hard drive. Here's what keeps happening.
I attempt to copy the files from the PC to the SD card via plugging in the phone via usb. I get an error that says it cannot read the file from the PC after it attempts to transfer some of the files. I then used the MicroSD reader I have and was able to cut and paste everything over successfully. When I put the SD card in my phone, a bunch of my apps are back, terrific. Some of my key apps are not back, however, and none of the data/settings are there. I had a titanium backup file copied on the SD card along with everything else, and Titanium is finding the apps that have reappeared, but none of the ones that seem to be missing. Trying to get titanium to locate the backup folder results in the program saying theres is no backup in the folder (again despite the files being in the backup folder).
Here's wehre I really start to get agitated. Once I plug the phone into the computer with teh SD card in the phone everything works great. As soon as I uplug the phone, I get a message saying the SD card is corrupt and needs to be formatted. WHen I plug the phone back in, there are only 4 folders and a handful of files on the SD card, even though there was just 16+gigs of information on there, and now there's almost nothing. I have then reformatted the card and repeated this process several times, to the same result. The SD card seems to work fine with a portion of the data until i plug the phone into the PC, at which point the SD card tells me its corrupt again.
I have no idea why this is consistently happening, but I'm extremely frustrated that I've essentially lost most of my important data when all I wanted to do was plug in a new SD card. Any help will be greatly appreciated, I have no idea what to do from here. Thanks in advance if anyone has any advice.
Edit: the 4 file folders that remain are .android_secure, LOST.DIR, Music, and Safestrap.
As I recall, Lost.dir is what it sounds like - essentially files that get lost somehow, the entire folder is populated with 1000s of files whose names are only numbers between 1 and 217279. Only about 8gb is being used on the SD card, despite being more than 16gb being used on there before plugging in the phone and going into usb storage mode.
Okay, just to specify as a follow up - I've accepted that I'm probably going to lose all of my application data - whatever, it happens.
Regardless, I could still use a little help - essentially, every time I plug my phone into a computer, everything works fine, then when I unplug the phone (pushing the button to turn off usb mass storage), my it tells me I have a damaged Sd card and recommends I format it.
Thus far i reset the phone and its fine. Any advice on how to avoid this repeated error other than that? I'm running CM10.1 if it matters, and have heard there are some SD issues with it maybe? but haven't been able to turn up any answers on google.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any advice.
I also have a 32GB SanDisk card that intermittently gives me the "damaged" error message. It's very inconsistent, but a reboot or two always fixes it. This happens on stock ICS or CM 10.1. Wish I had an answer for both of us.
