http://ubuntuforums.org – Dear all, when I used to plug-in my Android phone via USB, the SD card of the phone would just be mounted as a filesystem under /media/some-cryptic-id. This was under 11.10 and version 2.4 (I believe) of Android. I used to just rsync directories. Now (unfortunately after double update) under 12.04 and Android ICS, this is not the default. I don't seem to be able to access the file system as such anymore. The card is mount somehow, because it appears as "MT11i" on the desktop, however /media is empty (as is /mnt). It seems like, Ubuntu things the card is a camera, because in (Hardware)

New SD card won't mount 22 weeks 2 days ago

I bought 2 new 16 GB Kingston Micro SD HC class 10 cards for the wife's and my RAZR Ms. Both have the same issue. When inserted, the phone won't mount the card. Error notification received: "sd card is blank or has unsupported file system". Attempts to format are unsuccessful. I put each card in my old Droid X.

Dear all,

I am using N7000 Galaxy note with 16GB internal storage and 2 GB device storage. I am on android version 4.1.2 and Build JZO54K.N7000DDLSC

I have searched a lot and tried a lot but have not been able to crack this issue.

All of a sudden, my USB storage has disappeared.

Hello. I recently used the "lsusb" command with my Galaxy Note 2 plugged in my pc. It showed up as a Galaxy S II. I've been trying to add files to the ext sd card with Nautilus, FileZilla or some other means. Nautilus will show the top level directories on the sd card, but won't show anything under them, when the sd card is installed in the phone.

I have a Digital Concepts CR-75 51-in-1 USB card reader. When I plug it in by itself, I get four new empty partitions that show up (labeled 'Myson'). However, when I insert an SD card or mini SD card into the appropriate slot, the partition where that card would mount at seems to disappear. The other unused ones still show up, but obviously are inaccessible because of lack of media.

I am running 12.10. have a NAS on the network that I can access with Nautilus. I can also access it with gvfs-copy, gvfs-ls, via it's URI: smb://servername

But I don't know how to access it via the filesystem. I understand it should be mounted in a gvfs directory. I looked in ~/.gvfs, but that's empty.

Sideloading onto SD card 35 weeks 23 hours ago

I want to load an app from my computer onto a microSD card to put it into my Galaxy. Should I just drop it onto the card (i.e., "G:\") or should I put it in one of the folders (.android-secure or Android?) or make a new folder for it? Is it even possible? I mean, I know it's possible, but will I be able to install the app from the SD card once I put it back in the phone?

TIA

So I'm not sure what exactly I did, but I screwed up my SD card royaly!

I was trying to format it to work with Links2SD, but was being wonky about it, and somehow ended up messing up the SD card. Phone simply says "Removed SD Card: SD Card Removed. Insert a new one."

In Recovery (I have CWM v1.2518.4), if I go to mount sd card, I get "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0..

I am about to create a secondary partition on my micro sd card. Will my android phone automatically mount all partitions when the card is inserted? Or will I need to manually mount the second partition via adb or terminal emulator?
