Can't detect Motorola W396 memory card
« on: December 21, 2011, 09:58:12 PM »
Hi all. I have PCLinuxOS Phoenix 2011-07 on my Acer Aspire One 522 netbook. I was going to browse files in memory card of my mobile, Motorola W396. I read its specification in http://mobile.softpedia.com/phones/Motorola/Motorola-W396.shtml, that the memory card is microSD TransFlash.
After I connect my mobile to my netbook using a USB cable, internal memory is detected and I can browse the files in it. But the memory card is not detected. I use Thunar as file browser.
I tried lsusb and it shows Bus 003 Device 002: ID 22b8:4180 Motorola PCS.
What can I do to solve this? Thanks for the helps. God bless you :).

Hi maspai,

looking at your report, look like linux is doing it's work, i.e. recognize and properly communicate with the device.
I know nothing about your phone but I would suggest to look for phone settings, alternatively try to use an external card reader.
