Android when connected may or may not offer to emulate a SD Card. There are tomes on the web about this but this is NOT a bug or defect. It's how it is.

Hi
Connected my LG 880 android to my PC today. The sd card in the android wasnt detected by the PC. If I insert the sd card directly in the PC, its detected. And the android detects the SD card
Some knowledge about why this happens?
