do i have to do it in a computer or can i do it in the flyer itself?
Either works fine, . . . or neither. Most all Micro-SD cards (as well as SD, thumb drives, and other portable flash memory) come already pre-formatted to FAT32 out of the box, which is what the Flyer uses. You don't need to format it, unless this is a Micro-SD that you have been using for something else, and either want to wipe it, or you have previously formatted to something other than FAT32.
Well I got a 16Gb Micro SDHC card from Office Depot...brick and mortar... stuck it my Flyer and the flyer wont recognize it. I have formatted it 3 times... fat 32, 32 and it still wont see it. Just soft reset the flyer with the card in side, still dosent see it. Could I have a bad card?
I had your same problem.then i solved with a format(ms-dos) from a mac OS.
Ok... I tried formatting with a mac os. Didnt work. I insert my sdhc card. The flyer says preparing for use, card mounted, then it is safe to remove the card. The card never shows up under total storage or available space.
Now the funny thing is when I go to applications...it says that there are programs installed on the SD card. But I am now trying to put the first sd card into it. So why is it thinking that it already had a SD card?
But what is the brand of this micro sd?
sandisk micro sdhc
mhm..i have a sandisk also!are you sure that it is a genuine sandisk?Look for in internet h2testw.exe and try to test your microsd..
It works on my laptop. it just won't work in the flyer.....
I got it to work. Had to hard reset it first, but it works

For some reason, the Flyer reads some of its internal memory as SD, and the Micro-SD card as "ext-SD" or a second SD card.
Hi this is how i do :
With the memory card in your Flyer,
click on Settings -> SD and Phone storage -> Unmount SD card.
Once it unmounts, click Format SD card.
sd card issues in htc flyer
I'm in "settings" on my htc flyer.
SD Card says: 1) total space/unavail, 2)Available/unavail, 3) Mount SD Card/Insert an SD card for mounting, 4) Erase SD Card/Erase music,pictures.....
1) & 2) - shouldn't it say how much space I have avail?
3) I had Best Buy insert the card (didn't want to be the one to tear up the cover!) & they said nothing about "mounting" or "formatting" it prior to use.
4) I've tried to erase the card & nothing happens when I touch the "erase" line
I can't remember how I got to this point but I've gotten the message, "SD card full", before. Why?
I'd like to put all of my movies, & maybe my books, on my sd card so they're not on the htc in case it fails. I'm looking @ the htc flyer manual online but I can't see how to load data (movies, books, pics, etc) directly to the sd card.
I wish there was some kind of "training" avail to learn how to use my new toys <sigh>.
TIA for any help or suggestions!!

used the directions immediately above my initial inquiry & got it to format/mount THANKS!!!!!
but... still need to know how to send data to the sd card directly. I went into my computer & dragged the movie from the htc to the sd card & it shows up in my computer. how do I access it on the htc? how do I get the htc to look on the sd card instead of internal memory? when I upload a book/movie/picture/etc, how do I get it to directly to the sd card instead of internal memory? TIA!!!!

Because there really is an internal micro-SD card in the Flyer. It has DDR2 RAM for the internal memory, plus an internal micro-SD, plus the external slot for an additional micro-SD card. That's why you see two "sdcard"s listed. When you move some applications to SD, you're moving them to the internal card. The external SD will only contain whatever you copy to it in whatever folder arrangement you set up.

No internal micro-sd on this. Probably just onboard memory used for storage as "sd-card".

When you connect the tablet via USB you should now have two additional drives show up. One of mine is called HTCVIEW which is the tablet storage. The other one is the SD card, but I am not sure what it was labeled originally since I renamed it. Anyway put your media there.
To have your android apps access them, they need to look in either of two directories /sdcard2/... or /sdcard/ext_sd/...
Both of the above directories point to the exernal sdcard. So for me, my videos are in /sdcard/ext_sd/Videos, and books in /sdcard/ext_sd/Books, etc. You just need to tell your apps to look in the appropriate place.
If your android app requires a specific directory on /sdcard for it to work you can use an app called directorybind (only if you are rooted) to have the files on the external sdcard but have the internal sdcard point to them to make the app happy. directorybind can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
Hello there guys,
i tried to install some apps but i could not, the phone show insufficient memory.
So i opened aplications-manage applications and unsuccessfully tried to move the apps to SD CARD (which i believe is the internal storage of phone, i don't have SD Card). I was surprised with this because there is plenty of space available. any idea what can i do? i cant install apps and neither transfer them to SD.
THanks.
Hey, hmm yeah i can see how that would be an issue. lol
But the SD card referees to an external memory card not your internal memory.
You can install a micro sd card (up to 32GB) into your samsung galaxy s2 through the back. You'll have to open up the back cover
Just wondering if I should pick up a card beforehand or does the Evo 4G LTE come with one?
My phone did not come with an SD card. You'll have to buy one separately.
no sd card but that new 64gb card I put in sure is nice.
Short answer: NO. You will need to get yourself one. You can get a 64 GB microSD card that will fit perfectly and work.
Long answer: You don't really need one. Yes, it comes with 16GB of storage, which is partitioned into: about 2 GB for the system, about 2 GB for apps storage, and the rest (about 10 GB) is put into the "/sdcard" partition. It's not really an sdcard, but a fake sdcard. It looks like an SD card to Android. This is where you would put the regular stuff that you would put on a normal SD card. IF you put in your own microSD card, then it will be accessible via both paths "/sdcard2" or "/sdcard/ext_sd", as they both point to the same location. I have both my camera (and video) and music storage pointing to my "external" memory (all 64 GB). IF you do not put in your own memory card, then you can still access the internal storage over USB, but you will have to do so via MTP. Google that. Most modern PCs should have support in the OS.
So, in summary... relax. You don't need to get your own memory card right away. See first if you really need it.
no. no and no.
I hope this is the correct place to post this. I have a kyocera hydro edge II roote with framaroot. Running android 4.1.2. Used a 8gb micro sd with fat32 and ext2 partitions that worked fantastic for months. I bought a new 32gb micro sd card to replace my 8gb. The 8gb was partitioned 5gb fat32, 2gb ext2. I moved everything back to internal storage from link2sd. Took the new 32gb card and partitioned 22gb fat32, and 8gb ext2. Copied everything from 8gb fat32 to the 22gb fat32. Put the 32gb in my phone and everything was fine. Using link2sd I linked the apps from internal storage to the ext2 partition.
This morning my phone rebooted and didn't "recognize" the 22gb fat32. It recognized the ext2 just fine. If I go into my phone, under storage, it says I have like 17gb of storage left of the 22gb on my external sd card. So it would appear it does somewhat recognize it. HOWEVER, if I go to Apps, it only says I have 1gb of internal storage, and 1gb of external storage. So i removed my sd card and put it in my computer, and everything is there and the partitions appear fine. I backed up my sd card and reformatted, and my phone still only recognizes 1gb of external storage. Link2sd also only recognizes 1gb of internal AND 1gb external storage. So I downloaded Astro file manager. I open that up and it lists SDCARD0 at 1gb where everything is now going, and then externalSD at 22gb where nothing is going and all my old data is located. My pictures are being read off the 22gb partition. If I take a new picture, it is going to the 1gb whereever that might be. If I put in my old 8gb sd card it has the same results. I took my daughters clean new 8gb micro sd card with nothing on it, and it has the same results. 1gb internal, 1gb external. Once again though, it recognizes the card space under storage, and can be accessed through astro file manager, but it is not reading or putting data there.
I have no clue what's happened or what I can do to get my phone to recognize the 22gb as to where it should reading and putting data??? Do I need to do a back up and factory reset? Start completely over? What are my choices? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you SO much!!!!
OK.... I went into the storage settings, where the 22gb fat32 partition is recognized. I changed "Primary Storage" to the 22gb partition, and everything is back working. Any ideas why? Are there going to be any drawbacks to this?
thanks guys
Hello, I have a Jiayu G4S phone (1GB RAM/4GB ROM version). It has android 4.2.2 and by default it uses only external SD micro card for saving files (photos, music, ebboks, downloads from internet,...). Internal memory is used for installing apps, but that can be changed to external memory. I used to have SD micro card inserted and everthing worked ok. But then my SD card reader stopped recognizing SD card. I sent phone back for repair, but they did not repair it (although they say they did). I tried different cards in phone, but they don't work. Some are not recognized at all, some are recognized with message, that SD card is corrupted and I should try formatting. When I try formatting, nothing happens. I tried formatting SD cards outside phone - with windows, and some other programs. I tried with brand new card. I tried MTK Eingineer Mode - SD card test...but it says there is no card in phone. Is there anything else I could do to fix that myself?
Because if I send it back again I will have to be without phone for another month or two and I can't do that...
I was also thinking - is there a possibility I could make my phone save files to internal memory instead of external SD card?
