Default SD card not working.

Anyone know how to get to the SD card? I put a known working 32 GB card in and it will not show up. It is formatted NTFS, could that be the problem?

Yes, the NTFS formatting is your problem. Format should be FAT32.

Fat32 should be the formatted state... I really hope you don't think you can install apps on it ....I learned that the hard way... ICS won't let us install apps to our external memory card smh

I have an app (maybe it's a widget?) running on my phone, circular battery indicator. I put the .apk on my MicroSD card and installed it from there. Works well! Gotta have the .apk though.
