Storage Device I have a motorola razr and a storage device. I cannot get my phone to recognize it though. I can go to the media gallery and to the sounds option but when i push the select button nothing happens. I cannot switch over to the storage device and want to listen to the songs that are on the storage device. Can you help me?

How is the USB stick formatted? IF it is formatted NTFS or Apple, it won't be recognized, and of course the data on the stick has to be a media file format that your TV recognizes

Only a USB storage device is recognizable.
- If the USB storage device is connected through a USB hub, the device is not recognizable.
- A USB storage device using an automatic recognition programme may not be recognized.
- A USB storage device which uses its own driver may not be recognized.
- The recognition speed of a USB storage device may depend on each device.
- Please do not turn off the TV or unplug the USB device when the connected USB storage device is working. When such
device is suddenly separated or unplugged, the stored files or the USB storage device may be damaged.
- Please do not connect the USB storage device which was artificially maneuvered on the PC. The device may
cause the product to malfunction or fail to be played. Never forget to use only a USB storage device which has
normal music files, image files or movie files.
- Please use only a USB storage device which was formatted as a FAT32 file system, NTFS file system provided with
the Windows operating system. In case of a storage device formatted as a different utility programme which is
not supported by Windows, it may not be recognized.

Probably you are having some syncing issues, have you tried to turn your phone off and then back on and see if that helps?
You can also try to force stop the gallery and then try to open it back, to do that you just need to follow these steps:
Open your Application Tray
Then go to Settings
Once you are there go to Apps>All Apps
Search for Gallery
Select it
Then select the options: clear cache, and force stop
Turn your phone off and then back on.

You must configure the phone as a Mass Storage device and then connect to the PC. It will be recognized as an additional drive. Use it as you want.

the memory card you inserted is not functioning properly insert an other card if it does the same then get your set checked

Press the Center Select Key Scroll to and Select Media Gallery Scroll to and Select Sounds If necessary, press Options Select Switch to Storage Device Select Phone Scroll to the desired file Press Options Scroll to and Select Assign as Ringtone

Hey Green-e,
I think ur problem is lack of knoledge to identify the type of data storages device.
There are two types of storage devices: 1) MMC(memory card)
2) Phone memory
When u enter menu->multimedia->sounds, there is a list of sound tracks, ringtones, etc.
In ur cellphone, u may have used Phone memory or memory card as default storage device. If u hv used phone memory, then change to MMC and if u hv used MMC, then change to phone memory.
TO change the storage device.
In sounds (where sounds,ringtones, appears), press menu button (above directional keys). Now u will see a list of options. There u can see storage device. Press on it and change it as u want (MMC or phone memory).
===============================================================
Kindly send me feedback and rate my solution
Be sure to post a clarification request for ur problem after it is solved.

younigleigh: To access your card you have to change the Storage Device. For example if you want to access your RINGTONES or SOUNDS, do as follows: 1. Go to MY STUFF menu by pressing the CIRCLED button betten the GREEN (SEND CALL) and the RED (ON/OFF) buttons. 2. Select for example SOUNDS. 3. Hit the middle multiple bar between the BACK and GO TO options on screen (SOUNDS MENU). 4. Select SWITCH STORAGE DEVICE and select the CARD option. You're now accessing and STORING data on your MEMORY CARD. SithPitt
