Is it possible to format an sd card to where your computer/xbox read it is a portable device? I think I did it before or at least thought I did. However I don't have a computer atm and curious if I can format the card to fat32
Thanks

Nope.... I tried every way possible( My ways) and my 360 can never read it.

Word. Its weird though. If I remember correctly I had connected my old sd(in phone of course) . Formatted it to fat32 and my computer reccognized the phone as a flash drive. No commands to mount or anything.
My xbox is modded and if I run the update I lose my mod. As soon as 2.0 is out I won't need this.
The reason I need to try is I have to reinstall proper permission for codec. Its already there, this xbox has not been banned but they corrupt the harddrive and make you reinstall it. All I need to do it get that file off and then reinstall it. Trips me out you can't do that without a net to live.
Sorry for the rant but I know there are some gamers out there.
If anyone wants to add me on live weather to talk **** to me or have a good time my gamertag is the same as screen na?e here

So I just got this phone brand new in the box from insurance company and the camera started off working and now all it does is stay on a black screen when loading into the app. It doesn't load at all. This is making me and really mad I don't want to send to get a nnew phone again
Is there a way to fix this with adb or is it a hard ware issue..

Flash another rom, Myn's rom supports the cam in 004.
Same thing happened to me and I went thru 4 evos In 1 week all of them did the same thing. So I thought to myself I am extremely unlucky but then realized that there was one thing all of my phones had in common, my sd card. I saved my pics to my computer and reformated my card and sure enought it worked. So try reformating your card or try a different card and if that don't work go to sprint and raise hell.

Reading is hard, he said he is not rooted.
And yes, I had this same problem happen, after reformatting my SD card all was good. But make sure you backup your data to your pc, so you can transfer back after formatting.

Take all the pics off of your sd card and format it with the evo then replace the pics into the DCIM folder and you will be fine. It has happened to me too on my replacement phone too.
I tried format didn't work but if I put pictures back in it should work

I have the same problem as well and I can say with confidence the sd card is the problem. I got a new evo and a new sd card all was good until I copied my old files to the new card. The camcorder stopped working until I formatted the card then it worked. Afterwards I copied my pics only to the card and it was working fine. When I moved some apps to the card it stopped working again. I'm not really sure if it's a single app that's causing that or moving apps to the card is the problem.

I'm facing a weird problem with my SD Card...it keeps saying mounted as Read only. Everytime I change its attribute via properties. After mounting the same problems are shown again. M too sick of it, I can neither play songs or view stuffs. Help

You haven't knocked the little tab on the actual SD for read only have you?
Does the SD work on laptop/pc?
If it does is it read only or writeable and if so full format it.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
It works on my pc. Infact after no proper solutions i've formatted it, but it haunts me again...i cannot format my sd card all the time. What is the cause of this....anyone?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
When you disconnect the sdcard from the pc on disc drive mode, ensure you "eject" it from the pc first, then change the phone connection to charge only. By doing it this way, you can minimise chances of corrupting files. This maybe was part of the problem?

Don't think Micro SD cards have these. Does sound like a corrupted SD card to me, so yes make sure you unmount it before unplugging the phone
Ok, not too long ago( maybe an hour ago) I noticed I couldn't reach/hear/watch any movie I have stored on my sdcard.. this has NEVER happened and I really need my files.. hope there is a solution.. thank you

Do you mean you can't reach them thru the stock gallery, or your file manager, video player, or all of the above?
Have you tried the app Rescan media, I believe it's called...?

I mean nothing that is SD card related can be found, used,played etc.. I truly believe my sd card died on me.. if so what do I do?? Get another sd card and be fine or??? Bcuz I am thinking of replacing this g2 with another but since my sd card seems shot does that mean I can't or re-root because I don't have the contents that came with the root??
Ps. I have backup roms but don't know how to put it on the what seems to 'dead' sd card. =Ditamae;19386527]Do you mean you can't reach them thru the stock gallery, or your file manager, video player, or all of the above?

Have you tried putting your card in an sdcard reader on your computer to rule out it being your ROM/device?
If your card is dead, then just buy a new one; you won't have your data but you'll still be able to root your new device if you chose to buy a new one.

I have this same problem. Data off my SD Card will get randomly deleted. At first I thought it was because I used a particular app or when I sent a file as an attachment.
I've tried multiple SD Cards with the same results.
Its my first android phone but I did use my friend's android phones before and when I connected them to PC I could choose the option to o use it as USB drive and I could connect it to any PC without any problems/drivers and connect it to my ps3, but with GS3 I need drivers for PC and I can't connect to my ps3 at all, so my question is: is there a way to enable USB drive like on other android phones or is there any other way to connect my SG3 to my ps3?
You can try this. I haven't used it yet but its supposed to do what you want I think.

If it works there is a donate version in play store to consider.

Oh ok. Sorry bout that. I did a quick search and it looks like some folks were working on ways to mount internal via ums.
Ill check a little better later when ihave a little more time.
In the meantime, good luck!

Maybe in theory you could use 2nd way to make internal SD as external and then use 1st way to make that external SD as USB drive but its not 100% safe and you have to do it each time you want to transfer something... I found an app to use my phone as media server so I can connect to ps3 via Wi-Fi but only to transfer files from phone to ps3 not the other way around... I just don't get it why would they make something that was simple and easy to be more complicated now, I wouldn't be surprised if they release something like iTunes and make it the only way to connect and transfer files...
I don't think that will ever happen with android. But I have seen that even on the tabs like the 10.1 it can be a pain in the butt to use as simple as other androids. But you can always connect via SSH. I know this doesn't help op but just an idea for computer file transfer.

Thats kind of where i was going with it too. Just got busy and thought it might be something that could lead to a solution. I do think this is something that will be solved eventually. Hopefully soon!
I was looking at the thread for that app I linked to earlier and I think the dev is working on it. You my want to ask there to see if its still being worked on.

So today I noticed all my photos in my gallery app were greyed out... thought it was strange. Selected one... big grey pic... then another.... and another....
These pics span the internal storage and sd card....
First I deleted the cache to the gallery app.... same result...
OK... went into es file explorer.... dcim... camera..... all JPEGs gone....
Went into the sdcard..... have multiple folders under pics main folder... all empty... except for any video files...
Then mounted on my PC... and they also don't show.
What could of happened to cause this.... I wouldn't normally care but I lost a lot of pics of my kids... that spanned 3+ years that weren't all backed up. Any help on the snowballs chance in hell of recovering this would be appreciated.... but at the very least any reasonable explanation as to why this may have happened would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You could try pulling the sd card out, putting it in the computer directly, and then using a data restore or undelete app. As long as the sectors haven't been rewritten, they should be recoverable.
Also, this may help for the future. I use my phone to capture my kids as well. What I've been doing is using the auto upload features in both Google+ and DropBox, to back pics up in replicate. Sucks for bandwidth and battery usage, but it is what is is. lol
Hope you get them back!

So i was able to recover my files on the external sd card with a card reader.... now how would i do the same on the internal card, if we cant mount it with usb mass storage mode?

There is a pc program called recova I think it's from pirova. I wiped my phone once and was able to do the deep scan and recovered them. Hope it helps good luck.

Unfortunately, I don't think that one's doable with the way the device mounts. You may be able to mount it as a drive via recovery, but I'm not sure.
Edit: Just noticed your other post. You're asking the right thing. Hope you get an answer. If CWM doesn't have it, you could try TWRP.

Recova is what i used on the SD card and worked perfectly.
Also, i flashed TWRP... and the option isnt there either, so i will assume that its not possible on our phone yet... so for now im screwed...
am afraid to install any new programs or files, in fear of losing my more current pics, which were internally.
That happened to me too, but i am using the GS2 Tmobile, after flashing cm 9 nightlybuild. but my picture on my sd card, so i guess will use recova.
Thanks and hope you get your pictures recovered.

It sucks that you lost quite a few pictures that mean a lot to you. I do see sincerely hope that you now understand the importance of backing up these important files. This really goes for everyone. Keep important files backed up in at least one other place, and keep it up to date. Most people don't start doing backups until they've lost something that's irreplaceable.
