I'm sure there is another post about this but I will be away from my PC tomorrow for a week so would like to solve this before I leave. When I go to gallery or camera it says no external storage and closes. I've tried reflashing ROM and fixing permissions but have had no success. Any help would be huge

I did a few backups in twrp. Not sure if that's what is causing it. There are a lot of large data files in the miscellaneous tab. Four data.ext4.win and four system.ext4.win. What are these files for? Can I delete any of them?

Those are your backups. They use space on the phone's storage. Connect it to a PC and transfer the files off.
What's the best way to delete twrp backups? It seems like they get saved to 2 spots: \storage\emulated\0\twrp\backup and sdcard/TWRP. Then inside emulated is a copy of sdcard as sdcard0. Where is this emulated thing coming from? I think it's AirDroid. I tried uninstalling AirDroid, and deleting that while tree but I get an error in both root browser apps I use.

Not airdroid...
It's a legacy folder that is added when using CM builds. ..
Do a general search on the subject. ..and you'll find the full explanation for the "O" folder. ..g

Hello,
I was trying few things:
1. Download sound card drivers to my Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, then copy them to USB memory stick. When i tried to install them on PC I got a message that *.exe file is corrupted.
2. I had a Google document (docx) and I did convert it to a pdf file with android app. I was able to open it normally on android device but unable to do iton PC. Same issue, file corrupted.
My memory stick is FAT32, never had any problems with it.
What tha hell is going on? Pictures and other media files works great while transfering, these I mentioned about not.
Please help!

I think I may know what happend, but didn't try yet. Probably I did remove memo stick without taping "safely remove..." and data wasn't copied right. I don't know about pdf files if they were converted good but drivers works fine now.

Hi everyone!
I recenty bought a Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9192 with Android 4.2.2 and I can't copy any file to the OBB folder. The phone is already rooted,and even so,Windows shows up an error message saying that the device is disconected.I already tried to copy with a file manager or unzip on the folder,but even when the files were sucefully copied,an error saying that something was wrong with the license was shown.
Just to make more clear:
I'm a noob,but I know that this version of Android has this blocking,
I rooted with Kingo Root,already checked and the phone is really with root permissions.
Also, this phone is an Brazilian version.The baseband is UBUBMK4 and the roms of the international version (including Cyanogen) doesn't seen to work correcty on it.They got problems with Wi-Fi and dual - sim drivers.
Can U guys help me? And sorry for any English mistakes..
Don't really understand your problem, but obb files must be on the emulated sdcard the path is
/storage/sdcard0/Android/obb
The i9192 don't have any usable version of custom rom (cyanogen)
I think you already tripped knox, why dont you try a different kernel

I noticed the same problem on my 9190 yesterday, I tried two different OBB files and windows said the device disconnected.
I'm not sure what is causing this but I found out that if you copy the OBB files to the SD card first, and then use a file manager on the device, you can move it into the OBB folder
I hope this solves your problem
And i have same problem with u.. but after im using Foldermount my prob is already solved.. u can find out in xda.. try search Foldermount.apk..

Hi.
Just purchased a SM-T800 and was wondering if there is an easy fix for me to be able to write to my SD Card? Do I need to be root to be able to do this ?

Kit Kat changed the way sd cards work.
The easiest way i know to fix this is to Root your device and then install this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
I have the tab s 8.4 and have a micro SD card coming in this week. I might be misinterpreting this post but does Kit-kat really not let the user copy over downloaded files onto external storage? I'm the kind of guy that usually immediately roots but was enjoying the stock experience for once. Definitely a bummer if this turns out to be true.
No, it let's you do it fine. But you have to use the My Files app. Not the app of your choice. Unless you root and change that.
whit this fix App sd card? i try to resolve the problema with large torrents i try todownload directly to my sdcard becuace torrent say cant find the location of folder when i choose microsd download folder to download files ...
Thank you for your reply.
Will follow your instructions this weekend. Thanks again Galactic2.

I use Chrome and yes now I have torrent fixed to download large files to my SD card
ES File Explorer File Manager
With this app, you DON'T have to ROOT your device, and you can copy/move file from device to SD-card vice versa:
ES File Explorer File Manager

You need to be rooted and applied the app to sd card fix before you can download torrents direct to sd card. Otherwise you can download straight to your tablet then transfer to sd card using the my files app.

You can't transfer apps to SD , from the Playstore "AT ALL", unless you are ROOTED.

I cannot copy or move anything using ES. The only workaround I found is connect the tablet to a PC and copy or move the files with widows explorer.

Yup, SD card came in today. ES can't do it. Time to root I guess...

Tried the app you linked and unfortunately it did not work. My problem was finally resolved with the Wanam Xposed application SD card fix. That works fine if anyone else has any trouble. But honestly it is so irritating that any of this is necessary to get full use of my device. I am rocking 128 gigabytes loud and proud
Okay well maybe not. Big file I was moving to SD is now gone and I can longer write to the SD. Bummer. No idea what went wrong.
Second edit: so the JRummy Apps "SD Fix" on the Play Store seems to have me covered for now. Fingers crossed...
Third edit: Gahh once again read only. No idea what the issue is. SD appears empty, can't read or write. Any help would be appreciated. For now I have a useless slice of plastic sitting in my otherwise perfect tablet.

I made a mistake in this: sorry!
On my Note 3 (also on Android 4.4.2), ES File Explorer works correctly with copying/moving files from/to SD-card...
Strange it's not working on the Tab S...

I had this problem with my 32gb sandisk card, it even said made for android on the packaging but it was very unreliable, sometimes there and sometimes not, even tried the usual test apps for these sdcard on my pc and they reported genuine with no errors. In the end i decided to buy a samsung 64gb card and it works reliably with stock apps but i have not got around the kitkat restriction cos i dont want to root yet.

Same story with my card, SanDisk and android packaging. I might look into getting an official Samsung card. Thank you for the reply!
uTorrent update
The new update on uTorrent:
