Hi,
I have just got a new memory card (32Gb) and have been trying to sync all my music and various documents across to it.
The phone and computer have been connected for most of the day and HTC Sync (3.x) has been indicating that the various music files and document have been moving across (around 20GB, however one completed and disconnected the files are nowhere to be seen on the phone however the disk space has been taken up.
The disk is showing that there is only 9Gb of the 32Gb free however there are only 1.7Gb of files on the card - none of the files that are supposed to have been synced across are there.
The only way I have managed to recover the space is to copy the files off, reformat the disk and then copy the files back on to it.
I'm now trying a Windows Media sync and that looks as though it is actually copying files across.
Any thoughts?

Is the SD card formatted to the correct format fat32
E=Mc2
I'm guessing so, formatted it with the phone so should be.
Have just done the sync with Media Player and this tine I saw the files going across and could see the files in the directories - now that the sync has finished all I have is some empty folders and all the disk space taken up again.
Something very wierd is happening??
Strangely, the only files that were successfully copied were the ones in a playlist.
So.......
Any suggestions as to how I can get some music and documents onto my phone?
I always just set the phone in Disk Mode via USB and copy pasted my music there. No problems at all.

OK, so far I have tried:
1. HTC sync from a Windows 7 and Windows XP PCs
2. Media Player sync from Windows XP to phone in disk mode
3. File copy from Windows XP to phone in disk mode
In all three cases the files looked as if they were going across OK and I could see the files as they were being copied but by the time the full 17Gb of music had been copied the folders were all there but were empty.
Now a test copy and paste of WiFi using ES File Explorer of an album has worked fine.
So, the question is, is there a problem with the volume of files being copied (I'll try transferring smaller numbers using one of the top three techniques) or is it the method of transfer?
Well it looks like the problem is with the card - it formats OK and reports as having 32Gb on it but it looks like any attempt to copy over 2Gb worth of data ends up with corrupted data - scandisk can recover the space leaving a stack of file00xx.chk files but not actually fix the error.
So it's back to the supplier and off to find another one.
Sounds like you don't have a genuine 32GB card, with what you've posted the card seems like a 2GB one. Plenty of fakes about.
Got mine from Mymemory ... http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDHC/MyMemory/MyMemory-32GB-Micro-SD-(SDHC)-Card---Class-4 ... They also do the Sandisk one. It seems that with the 32GB cards 'buy cheap, get shafted' is the general rule ....

I plugged my phone into my pc and the connection shows as MTP connected.
I then created a folder called Media. I placed my DCIM folder (which was on my external SD card) into Media... AND IT ERASED ALL THE PICTURES...
Has this happened to anyone else?
When I look at my disk space, it's showing as if it was erased (29gb free, it had 26gb free).
This same thing happened with my music (8gb).
Can anyone please help.
Same thing happened to me. I thought it was the AEMod flash I did from CWM right afterwards but yeah, I moved a folder full of apk's I've accumulated over the course of owning Android phones to the external_sd folder using Nautilus (Gnome's file manager).
When I Connect USB Storage to my workstation I get two mounts: 12GB and 16GB. The file manager works fine with the external_sd folder underneath the 12GB mounted device so I didn't think anything of it, but I wonder if you're supposed to only use the 16GB device?
Sux4sure.
I'm really pissed.
Luck I have most of the pics saved on my laptop, but still, makes no sense why if you move folders on your 32gb card intoa different folder on your sd card that it would wipe

A few days ago, I decided to give my music a huge overhaul, so I plugged it in and put a ton of albums that I had on my computer to my external sd under the folder
"My Music"
I then bought an album, All The Little Lights by Passenger, I noticed that a lot of the tracks aren't playing and Google Play Music was giving me a ton of problems when I tried to play it. I removed all my music from the SD card and backed it up, then I tried putting it back into the SD card and it's giving me a file or directory error when I place the .mp3's into that folder, I then formatted it and backed up everything on it, Everything else transferred perfectly fine except for my music, then I separated the music from the other backed up files. I can place maybe 15 .mp3's into a folder before they tell me a file or directory error, I figured that I won't go into anything and try and separate my music by folders of 15 - 20, I end up making 6 folders and then I unplug it, nothing was showing up so I plugged my SD card back into my computer and looked inside the folders, absolutely nothing.
....Help? The weird part is that I can put files into the root of the external SD perfectly fine.
Sorry! I messed up the model, it's a T989
tl;dr : tried to put music onto my sd card, gives me error, formats and puts it back, still errors, i can still put the music in the root of my SD card however.
I'm running CyanogenMod 10 on my S II
I've attempted using DiskRestore Professional and it says all sectors are good, I've even used the general windows repair thing, it tells me it repaired something but then it messes up equally as bad once I unplug it.
*deep breath*
I noticed that my Note II had bounced a rather small app update for lack of space on the phone. Okay, fine. I have a bunch of games on there (GTA is huge) and I guess I have to move/delete some stuff. Then I realize that my camera app has been storing stuff on the phone instead of the 64gb Class 10 Kingston SD card (in b4 "Kingston is crap!"). So I make that change and tell the phone to start saving photos to the SD card. Fine. There are already some photo files on the SD card, so I decide to use ES File Explorer to move the existing photos from my DCIM folder to the one on the SD card. ES tells me everything went fine, and a subsequent check confirmed this. All good so far.
Then I went for a drive and decided to play tracks off my phone. What? Nobody home. No music for some reason. Everything's gone. Fine, I'll look into it when I get home.
This morning: "Oh, I have a photo of that! Let me just get it..."
Nobody home.
Go to ES File Explorer, and all the files and folders on the stupid SD card are 404.
Go to my computer. Connect my Note II and look at the drives on the phone. Windows shows the phone's storage, and shows the card storage, which says there's stuff on there (as in, space is taken up). Click into the drive and... Nothing's there.
Unmount the SD in Settings and put it into a card reader. Maybe the phone's goofing up, right? Windows says that the card needs to be formatted (because it's using an unfamiliar filesystem).
Nuts.
Put the card back into the phone. The phone will recognize the filesystem, so it should be-- What?
Phone says the card is now blank or using an unsupported filesystem.
So there's my problem. How do I proceed? I know that stuff's on there. I just know there's something stupid going on that's preventing me from getting at it.
As long as I can yank my latest photos off there, I don't mind wiping the card and starting over, since it's just media stuff I was keeping on there anyway. What do I use to crack into it?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
UPDATE: Various file recovery apps (in both Windows and the phone) are telling me that the card now has truly nothing on it. There are many, many really great swear words I want to share with you right now, but am prohibited from using on this forum. It actually HURTS not to use them right now.
Why do people seem to have so many problems with 64gb Class 10 cards on the Note II?
I had similar problem, I was trying to use software for SGSII to map SD card as usb flash disk to a PC and it didn't work and when I disconnected I had same symptoms as you. I put the card in reader and connected to PC and repaired with Minitool (just search for "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition"). I lost couple of folders but most of it was ok.
Good luck!
Sounds like You have a Corrupted Boot sector.
Put the SD card in a Card Reader on Your Windows PC.
Open a Command Prompt and Type This - chkdsk /X /F <SD card drive letter>:
If Your SD card is Drive G, It would Look Like This - chkdsk /X /F G:
This will repair the Boot Sector if that is the Problem.
Put the SD card back in Your Phone and You should be Good To Go.
Hello all; I just got the T-mobile Tab S LTE variant, SM-T807T, and I am/was absolutely loving it.
then 30 minutes ago...
I inserted my SD card from my nook, a 64GB card with about 55GB worth of comics, music, ebooks and photos. At first no app could see anything on the card (although the Storage menu in the Tab's settings showed the correct space and how much was full).
Rebooted and I could see all my pictures using my favorite galary app, QuickPic.
However, some files wouldn't open so I unmounted the card through the menu, took it out, inserted it back in and no files show up at all.... OK
Rebooted the tablet and now it looks like I lost about 30GB of files! the "comics" "ebooks" "music" folders are all completely gone. and almost all folders are gone from my "photos" folder. I unmounted the card and put it into the PC and same thing.
Some folders are still there with a few files here and there.
I'm pretty devastated. The SD card worked this morning in my nook and I have been organizing comics on it for months.
I will try recovery software when I get home but this is awful and so much time is lost on the organization of the folders. That's assuming I can even recover the files. Anyone have any suggestions?
My tab is unrooted (couldn't find T807T root anywhere) and 2 days old. Should I return it or could it be my card or stock KitKat or what?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Update:
While I'm not sure what exactly went wrong, my LOST.dir folder had over 20GB worth of files in it so I used "MiniTool Power Data Recovery" to scan the card and was able to find all the files and restore them to my desktop in proper directory hierarchy and file names (which if you've ever used data recovery software you'll know is quite rare). I had the software from before when I had some SD failure in my dSLR (I'm sensing a pattern here, and I actually invest in good branded cards!) and the program worked perfectly.

Exactly don't use them cheap cards they are crap
I did use a branded card, Team 64GB SDXC from newegg. I always get cards with reviews form reliable sources.
update:
After reformatting the card in the tablet, and moving all the files back to it and trying to use it in the Tab S it still wouldn't work. It wouldn't delete my files anymore but it had a very strange behavior whereas I could see the card's contents for about 20 seconds after mounting it but then everything would disappear completely. The used/free capacity would still show accurately in the Storage settings tab but I could not access any of the data through any programs (including Samsung's My Files).
Funny enough, I had the same sd card in my phone (same brand/model/capacity) and that one works fine in the tab. My phone (galaxy note 2) reads both so i swapped them.
Everything running smoothly now, except of course for Google's douche move to disable write to sd card in 4.4.2. I hope root for the SM-T807T comes soon...
Hi! I have htc 10 with 128 gb sd card formatted as internal memory. I was transferring a photo folder from phone to laptop using USB cable and USB connection in media transfer mode. The folder seemed to be transferring alright but the pasted folder in laptop is empty. Since I didn't understand photo sync in Google photos I don't have any backup...desperately seeking to restore that folder. Need all the help
I'd avoid using the SD as internal, sounds great in principle but can cause issues if there's an interrupt..
For apps I'd use folder mount, needs root but it's simple to use and doesn't affect internal memory.
In regards to the images, did you cut the images? Copy or simply drag them, a drag would be a copy. So the original should have remained. If you cut them then they'll have been in limbo and will then be marked for deletion.
In future always use copy instead.
If the photos are no longer in the phones memory then they'll have been marked for deletion, a data recovery app on Windows and or your mobile may help but not sure.. Have had a lot of luck on SD cards when plugged into Windows but never scanned a phone as it's a live OS and I imagine it would need complete read access.
If the photos were on the SD card and are no longer visible, connect the SD card up to your computer because if they're marked for deletion and the OS decides to use those clusters, it'll be overwritten which will make it harder for recovery.
Hi,
apps from market not working for me, but Recuva has worked hundred times for me.
