SD card can only be mounted as Read Only

---

Hi, I bought a 16GB sd card for the phone today and when I got home I loaded some music etc. onto the card via my laptops sd card reader.

I think isntalled it into the phone and everything worked great.

The problem is when I try to access the card via the phone I only have read access.

This is driving me crazy and I don't wanna have to remove the card every time to add to it.

I'm running Modaco's 2.2 Froyo rom.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, this is a bug with JP3 firmware. It annoys me too but I don't think anyone has come up with a fix yet.. :S

You could just flash another firmware, but personally I'm going to wait for the next froyo release. JP3 is quite nice otherwise.

THanks for the quick responce. Its good to know that it isn't me phone that is causing the problem. Hope it gets fixed in the next Rom.

Thanks again.

I have found a partial work around to this, assuming it's the same issue on my Froyo flashed SGS;

If you install Android Manager WiFi on your SGS, and the matching app on your PC you can transfer files to the External SD card. The only problem I've encountered is that you can only shift individual files, or blocks of files, but not nested structures (ie, your music arranged by artists in folders).
