Hi I have a 4gb micro sd card and copied some music files on it from Macbook Pro using Android File Transfer Utility. Everything works fine until I restart the phone.As soon as I reboot the music files are gone other files, that were there are still there. I formatted it in windows and could see that its blank in my phone. Again connected and created a folder on sd card through astro file manager and the folder stayed there until I restarted the phone but gone on restart. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Just copy the files from your old SD card to your PC, then put in the new one and copy the files to the new SD card

Tried that a few times and despite the system saying it has copied all the files over, the folders are all empty and the shortcuts have gone from the phone.
i.e. the medi file has no media and the DCIM file has no photos.
Copy and paste doesn't seem to work in this instance,

Weird. I recently transferred my data from my 2gb micro SD to a 8gb one by copy and paste. And nothing has changed on the device. Did you copy everything (including hidden files if any)?

Hey guys not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I have about 4 gigs on my sd card and my phone wont show it in any file manager it says all the folders are empty. I formatted the card and transferred everything back on and its still doing the same thing. Even tried transferring it to the internal memory and it shows the folders but again they are empty when I know the files are there. Any suggestions?

is it mounted? when you goto settings/storage is sd card mounted? can you mount to pc? when you mount to pc and open sd is your stuff in there? maybe the android.secure file was erased! if so then try taking a picture and saving to sd then see if you can find it trhu gallery
yes it is mounted and it lets me mount to the computer and transfer things. In storage it shows I have it half full but in a file manager it shows only 33 mb used. When I plug it into the computer all the files are there. I took a picture and saved it to the sd and it showed up in the gallery.
I'm not sure if this is related to the 4.3 bug or not but I have the tmobile galaxy s4 and I can no longer modify anything on my external sd card. Everything still reads fine but it seems alot slower than before.
I tried using es file manager to delete/write , but it dosen't work. It will say deleted successfully but when i refresh, it reappears. When i try to create a new file it says "sorry, operation failed"
I also checked the permissions file and it says it has r/w access for external storage.
Is my card just dying or corrupted or what? How can I fix this?
I just want to be able to use it again.
I also tried formatting. When i do it on the phone it just freezes. When I do it on the pc, it says write protected.
I tried gparted as well but it hangs during detection.
This is the default micro sd card that came with the phone...

Remove your external microSD and plug it into a card reader and or the adapter which came
with the card then plug it into your computer.
Make an empty folder on desktop of computer and copy all files and folders from the microsd
card into the empty folder.
Format your external microsd using this windows utility and copy all the files/folders back onto
the card from your computer and replace it into your phone.
Here is the direct download link for this fat32 formatter which is a windows utility:

By doing the above your external microSD card should work find again.
Good luck!

I having the same problem, the software cant help...
Good Afternoon
Ive recently been given the Samsung Tab 3 7 inch and im having major issues with the 32GB Micro SD Card.
I can add folders and files to the SD card through a SD Card Adapter plugged into the card reader of my desktop PC and I can view these files once put back into tablet.
Once in the tablet I cant move anything around in the ‘My Files’ App I cant delete anything or add anything either.
Its like its just readable. I cant save photos from the camera to the SD card and I cant create any folders on it using the tablet.
It works perfectly in my friends Samsung phone…. I put his 8GB sd card into my tablet and it worked for a while and I was able to create folders and move files in ‘My file’ app. I removed it and tried it again and it became ‘Read Only’ like my 32GB
Also if I plug my tablet into the desktop PC using the usb adapter I cant change detele or add files to the card!
Very confused.
Im new to android so if anyone needs anyother info to help me out I will try my best to answer.
Thanks guys.

Try this app as a Device Manager
Did you try to format SD card in the settings ?
SD Card
Yeah, i re formatted in on the phone, on my desktop PC.
The only way i can get files onto it is through an SD card adapter plugged directly into my PC.
I cant get it to work through the USC, i tried Kies and also Android File Manager and i have no luck.
Android File Manager - Doesnt recognise the device
Kies - Locks up when i try adding something to the SD Card.
Hello folks, I bought my M8 3 weeks ago and it is rooted, unlocked bootloader, latest TWRP, stock sense ROM and elemental x kernel. I initially purchased a 32gb Samsung evo sd card but found myself maxing it within a few days with movies, then i bought a 64gb Samsung evo sd card and assumed all was well. I formatted the card and ran the external sd card patch app from the playstore which granted me write permission to the sd card (it is not possible on stock htc kernel but ss soon ss i flashed elementalx kernel it allowed me to write any data to the sd card).
But the problem is whenever i download a movie via utorrent and set the download path to the sd card, it downloads fine, but when i use my file explorer to check the sd card movie download folder, it shows the movie folder name but when i open the folder there is nothing inside or someimes it doesn't even show the movie folder at all, almost as if it was never even downloaded but if i switch back to utorrent, the movie is 100% downloaded and is uploading.
Sometimes, it actually downloads and i can see the movie in the folder, but when i click on the movir, it says 'Sorry unable to play thid file'. I have use astro file manager and es file manager, i have used diceplayer, mx player sand bs player. I don't think the file manager or the the media player is the problem. When i open settings and go to make more space, 10gb of my sd storage is being taken by these files but they are nowhere to be found on my sd card storage using a file manager. But i know these movies are on the sd card because it is taking up gigabytes of space.
I've tried to reformat the sd card, factory reset the phone e.t.c. but i am still having the ssme issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Guys, some assistance would be appreciated. Some of my downloaded movies are showing and some are taking up storage space but are showing up empty in the folder.
