Is your SD Card recognized?
 

I wanted to start a useful thread here. I wanted to know who has an SD card that is recognized by Android. I have one, but it isn't recognized, so I can't use any apps that require it (Titanium Backup, AP Mobile), and also can't download stuff from the browser. Needless to say, it sort of makes it less useful, so I want to see who has an SD card that is working, what type it is and anything else relevant (formatting, cluster size, etc.).

So, to start, I have an 8GB A-Data card, class 6, microSDHC. I've tried various formats (FAT, FAT16, FAT32) and various cluster sizes, though I don't remember them all, and it isn't picked up in Android. I have a /sdcard folder with all the stuff on my storage card, but for some reason, apps don't see it.

Phone sees the card on mine. Class 2, 4gb sandisk. I'm running the setup with different partitions though, so that might have something to do with it? I'm not sure, so I can't say. Currently running the Neopeek SuperFroyo RC2 build.

But I have the ability to navigate through the fat32 partition and the ext2 partition as well. I haven't run the xdandroid setup lately and don't remember if my SD card was recognized or not. I'll have to check on that.

At first my 16gb card wasn't getting recognized in the latest android build. Until I reformated it. All good now.

+1. Android should recognize the card - it doesn't much care the type of card or size. Try reformatting the card OP!

I've formatted the card twice now within the past week to try and get it to work. Not sure what's wrong. I did check out the XDAndroid thread at XDA and saw that they say to use the HP formatting tool. I'll try that then when I get home. I had this issue before, and I think I got it recognized at some point, but don't remember what I did, if anything, to fix it. It is a real PITA though when I update and have to start with a new data file.

Have you tried with the HP tool?

You can backup your stuff d00d ;) Even when we tell you to delete your data.img, you can just rename it - if the issue persists, just go back to your old data.img. Hopefully with the new signing stinebd put in the new system file we won't have to do it as frequently... or at all perhaps? Wishful thinking, I know :D

Re: Is your SD Card recognized?
 

I have the same problem as the OP. Formatted a couple times and still does not work.

Re: Is your SD Card recognized?
 

Oy... Have you tried with any other tools other than just the default Windows or WinMo ones?

Some were saying it's a partitioning issue, and I don't think Windows does anything with the partition table on SD cards, and GParted definitely does, and that HP tool may...
