Okay so I got a 64gb class 10 micro SD card and put it in my phone and it was working well for a while with music and movies. My internal storage ran out on my phone so I thought I should transfer all data to the SD card making it the default storage for my phone (I did this through the storage settings on my phone) so my phone restarted and since then it will not read my SD card at all.

Everything else reads the SD card fine, my MP3 player, my other old phone my PC etc. Other SD cards work in the phone too. I tried formatting it with Panasonic formatter and still nothing. Even tried formatting in the phone. When I insert it, it says blank SD card in notification asking me to format.

Can someone please help because I really need this to work!

Yeah that's a bitch and a known bitch too. It's memory card mounting, something is broken in the google/android made launcher and anyone who uses their android kit tools to make their own. It was pissing me off hardcore on my shield tablet because anytime I'd have to shut it down, when it came back all my icons were gray and I couldn't access stuff. I even tried pulling the card in/0ut a few times, remounting and unmounting, wouldn't work and eventually then it would.

I read about the bug, found you had to get another launcher and disable googles bug ridden launcher. The best one for free (or pay, but the pay features are just fluff so it's more of a donation) would be NOVA LAUNCHER. Grab that, disable the default, then fire that up as your system launcher of choice.

When you restart cold that tablet, at first it still comes up gray, but it's because nova is attempting to access the card, it may take a little bit (not a minute or really near that) and your gray icons will colorize and you're good to go. I just needs to tell the card hi I see you, mount the data, then let the system know it's ready to rock and you're good. Hopefully Android 6 fixes that crap but 5.X doesn't.

I have (touch wood) fixed the problem. What I did was reformat the card to FAT32 format and it seems to work now. I also set it up to work on my DS Flashcard and now it runs better on the phone because it seems to have settled as a FAT32 after that.

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
