Micro Sd Problem - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I have been going crazy trying to figure this out. Ok So I have a 32GB micro sd card. I am running the latest build of cyanogenmod. Once i transfer the files to my phone (lets say music files) they work great. Now if i restart the phone all of the music files are gone on the sd card and I have a directory on the sd card called LOST.DIR
I cant seem to figure out how to make it so the files dont die and be moved to the LOST.DIR. Once in there they are a bunch of files which are not music files, i assuming they are curropt files.
How can i fix this?

Are you using es file explorer?

[Q] switch usb and sd?

Is it possible to switch sd and usb storage? All of my apps that save stuff to "sd" actually save it to the usb storage.

Would recommend making it a suggestion to ROM Developers - need to swap "SD" and "SD-EXT", not sure where in the manifest that is, but the good chefs should be able to hack up a solution pretty quick. Would likely require a re-flash, though...

I would love this as well. This would solve so many issues of things not fitting. Games and GPS programs.etc. I have switched my Camera to save to EXT and as well my Titanium Backups but in general everything wants to go to SDCARD by Default.
So here solution swap sd memories
To do this please backup your phone files first. This is info how to use external sd card as main sd card so all apps gonna be saved to your external memory card!!!

Sd card issues

Hey folks. Just got my gn2 today! I was wondering why my 64 gb class 10 card is not being read? Rather, not completely being read. When I downloaded es file explorer none of my old files (from my evo 3d) were there. However when I used another file explorer(AnTek Explorer) There were my files..Now my pictures and music from my sd card picked up but not any of my roms for my emulators or alot of other files. What gives here? Do i need to reformat my sd card? I read some thread saying the phone cant run any apps off of the sd card because of jelly bean, so do i have to be rooted to do this? Any help would be appreciated.
Anyone out there have any clue as to what to do about this?

sd card not reading properly???

I am new to the galaxy s III and it appears that my sd card is not reading properly most of my music shows up however when i use root explorer i cannot see the folders i have made with my music and other things inside it.... How do i fix this?
Thank you
Do you mean an external sd card, or the "internal" sd? The gs3 has the internal storage showing as an sd card. It's confusing at first.

I'm glad you did!! Perhaps someone can help me locate mine. I'm still searching for my external sd card folder but i'm not finding it in the usual places. Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but the phone should have 3 locations for storage. Internal, external (which are standard without an additional sd card) and External sd which is usually found in 1 of the 3 locations in my past experience. Either as /mnt/extSDcard, /mnt/external_sd or /emmc.
I know that my phone is somehow reading some files on my external card as power amp sometimes finds my music files and plays them. However, i can't navigate via romtoolbox's root browser or rootexplorer to the physical folder. I suppose i'll just reformat and see if that does the trick. Any other ideas/solutions are welcome
EDIT: I answered my own question. It is CLEARLY in the mnt folder of the root in extSDcard. I feel like a snarf

Stock music player

Hi all,
Stock music player does not read folders and files from external ad card.Is it the normal behaviour or could you please suggest

I also have e988 and all my music is on my SD card and the stock player sees all of it. Check whether your SD card is properly detected by the system and whether you have .nomedia in those folders.

For newbies, try copying all your data card files on your computer, format your memory card in your phone and then put it back.
Check for .nomedia though
Sent from my LG E988; click thanks if i helped you. it will be appreciated
Hi,
Thanks for the inputs.music video files were detected earlier from the same sd card.whatever that is detected is still showing up.New folders are not..nomedia is not there.

Hi,
Guess it's not detected because es file explorer was used to transfer to sd card.now it's getting detected when the process is repeated using stock file explorer
