First things first, note 2 is awesome. Now to the main issue. I have been trying to use my usb to transfer files both via mtp and mass storage mode (the app used for s3 and several others) but I keep hitting one problem. The phone unmounts my external sd (in the case of mass storage) or disconnects totally from.my pc when.I'm using it in mtp mode. The issue is regardless of the usb connection I use the phone disconnects after roughly.five minutes. Btw I'm doin all this with usb debugging on...besides that, it was d same with both stock and.custom firmware (revolution hd and.note2core asylum.kernel). Any help will be much appreciated.

Try to format you ext sd card to Fat32 using card reader.
If that not solve your problem just use card reader to transfer files to ur ext sd card.

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.

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?

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
I have reformatted my card several times from the storage setting. Nothing work just stays "damaged"

Do you have an adapter? Can you plug it in to a computer to test?
Well I'm not next to a computer at the moment. I formatted it through the settings in the phone and it doesn't seem to "fix" damage

Are you sure it's connected to your phone? Try using it on another device that uses an SD card.

This is another good option. Personally, I would plug into a computer and run a diagnostic check on the SD card. I would hate to lose pics and data due to using a faulty sd card.
This happened to me many times. I dont really kow what could've caused it. All i know is that i've never had any problems with any of my SD cards, until i got the S3. So weird.
Well it's connected to the pc via usb and there is no option through the pc to format the drive

I'm also getting all sorts of force closes and freezes when it is mounted to my phone...

That's because of the way the GS3 handles the external SD card. I don't remember the details but it is not mounted as USB mass storage.
Going back Metal Slug's post, if you have another device that can mount is as USB mass storage, or an micro sd -> sd adapter would be the only other option.
What size is the card?

I popped my sd card out of my s2 skyrocket and tried to put it in here and it says sd card damaged following another tutorial on xda on how to recover the data on it. It had all my family albums and such on it as well as my music and app data. Has anyone else had a issue with theres? Im using a 32gb class 10 made by patriot. Thanks for the tips if u leave some.

Have you tried to plug the phone in to your PC with the card mounted in the phone to see if it will mount as storage? You can also If you have an adapter microSD to SDcard and a sdcard slot on a PC or know someone who does try and read it from a PC. Have you tried to put it back in the skyrocket and see if you still get the error? GL

If you manage to copy all the files to your PC, try looking at this video. I had a similar issue when I switched from a Razr Maxx running a custom rom to a GS3. Might work for you...

Some stuff such as nandroid backups don't show up in that list. Any chance that's taking up a lot of your space?
Try formatting your SD card in Windows if you have a USB adapter or micro to full size adapter and a port on your computer for a full SD. 32GB should be FAT32.

I have a USB adapter that connects to my phone. What do I do after connecting my phone to the computer? Cause every time I connect it. It doesn't bring up my external SD card.. And how do I set it to fat32?
Edit: also how can I delete the backups I have made? Been a while since I've messed with a rooted phone.

When I said USB adapter, I was talking about a microSD to USB adapter. In case the phone is the bad link in the chain, it'd be a good idea to remove the card from the phone and attempt to manipulate it externally. If that is not an option for you, I'll let someone else with ideas chime in on that topic.
For Nandroids: Try something like Nandroid Manager * ROOT

If you have a root explorer or adb you could try pushing it to system/app because your data partition appears full.
You could also try to Odin back to stock.
