Are there any apps for android for syncing files that are in the phone or sd card, to external usb or a file in the sd card?
I have got 32gb Lexar C.10 micro sd and in the 5 months of using note 2, phone corrupted sd card and i am tired of rescuing files and then copying them to formatted sd card.
I want to backup files on the go (i wish there are any incrementally backing up app), so that i can restore them back when faced with any future corruption of sd card.
I think note 2 or JB has some issues with the filesystem of micro sd's.
Any help? Thanks.

I have a rooted phone with an 8gb sd card in it where i store clockworkmod recoveries, backups, ROMs, many apps, media of course etc etc. So if ever I were to change the SD card in the phone, what is the correct procedure to do so such that I don't screw up the phone?
Has anybody else gone through this recently? Reason I ask is I am going to order a 32gb sd card (I believe up to 32 is supported) shortly.
Thanks
Nothing bad happened to me. My 8gb card no longer works so I had to replace it with my 2gb that came with it. There's no procedure with swapping sd cards in the phone, but you may wanna copy all the contents of your previous card to the desktop of your computer and transfer them to your new 1. If you reformatted your previous card to fat32 then do so with your new one. Pop it in and let it rip.

Thanks! Seems easier than I was afraid it might be!
Soo, just copy and paste and put new card in? Is that it?
Yes, 32 Gb cards are supported. Make sure the new SD is formatted FAT32.
Don't remove or install any SD while device is powered on - unmount the SD, then power down to remove/reinstall SD.
Copy contents of old SD to PC so you'll have a backup - then copy to new SD, put in device, power on.
Noteworthy is if you use an AOSP ROM, many of those interact with SD during boot, so if you simply replace old with new and it isn't formatted FAT32 and/or do not have the contents of the old card on it, you will bootloop.
Recommend making period backups of SD to PC - monthly or some frequency meaningful to you ~ so you have a backup if/when SD card fails.
Hi,
I'm currently using Task's AOKP Rom and after performing a TWRP nandroid backup to my external sd card.. My external sd card started having problems. When I rebooted back to AOKP it showed an sd card error in the notifications asking me to reformat.
I've used this 32gb sd card for 4 months, installing various AOSP and TW JB roms with no problems at all. Yes, I wipe and flash everything correctly. This seemed to just happen randomly. I plugged my phone into my computer and it only shows my internal sd card available. When I go to mnt/extsdcard in file explorer, it shows no files.
Does anyone know a way to get my ext sd card working again? I'd like to get access to my files.
Thanks,
Tom
Update: it must just be my ext sd card... I plugged it into an adapter and it's not reading on my computer. My 8 gb version works fine but my 32 doesn't read at all. Any suggestions or is my sd card fried?
Hi this is my first time posting a question on here so I'm hoping I'm doing this correctly
I recently received a SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDHC card to use in my AT&T Note II phone. When I inserted the external SD card into my phone, everything mounted correctly and functioned right. However, when I tried to transfer my pictures and music into to the external SD card from my internal SD card using the stock app My Files, it would say that everything moved to my external SD card, but when I checked it, nothing was in the external SD card and the files that i had moved from my internal SD card were gone. So I backed up all my files from the internal SD card to my laptop to make sure I don't lose files again.
Afterwards I tried all of these methods to get files to properly into the external SD card:
I tried connected the external SD card directly to my laptop using an adapter and moved the files there
I tried moving files to the external SD card while it was in my phone
I also tried using KIES and KIES Air to move files into my external SD card
The first two methods didn't even have files show in the external SD card. The third method, using KIES and KIES air had files in the external SD card but they were corrupted where I can open my picture and it's a icon of a man of some kind and my music files just wouldn't play.
So I just factor reset my phone hoping that this would fix this problem and I haven't tried moving files yet. I'm hoping that perhaps it was an app that was conflicting with the external SD card.
I know that my external SD card is not fake because it came in a legitimate package and I also ran a software (that I can't remember the name of) that puts in data in the external SD card until it fills up and reads the data to see how much actually went in.
Could anybody tell me what the problem is and how I can fix it? I can't go back to the store and exchange it because it was a gift and there's no receipt. Thank you so much for your help.

well seee if it works on other phone if not then sent it back to sandisk service center they dont need any proof of purchase just the sd card packet pic will do as proof as it comes with lifetime warranty , just sent them a mail and report if its faulty and they will ask u to send the sd card back to sandisk center and they will send u a new sd card :good:
if they ask for a sd card no just chk your sd card back it written over there and not on the package as the org number they need is available in sd card back

I have had similar problems I tried to copy two movies to SD card but it would not do it.
I had to copy to internal memory then move to SD card from tablet it worked for about half way into movie then said video corrupt .
But both work fully when in Internal Memory
I have had same issues with photos that it corrupts the image
This is due to the kit kat update and the SD card issues including the unmounting .
But it will let me copy across so maybe not the same issues as yours
Anyone else experiencing problems with their micro sd cards? I have a 32 Gb class 10 micro sd card installed and it shows that I only have 200 mb of available space on my external card. The card is empty so how is this possible? Any ideas??

Did ya format it with phone
Most likely an issue with your card not the phone. I definitely haven't had an issues nor have I heard of any
Something similar is happening to my sd card
I am experiencing something similar, i first noticed when trying to copy a zip file to the sd card to install a rom and the zip file didnt show up.
My problem is that i am not able to copy anything to the sd card or delete anything from the sd card. I am however able to copy files from my the sd card to the computer. I have tried formatting it from an android phone,pc,cmd but after the format is done i have the exact same files that were on the sd card. Its strange because after formatiing on my pc it shows the sd card as empty but once i disconnect and re-connect the sd card all the files are somehow back on to the sd card and are not corrputed or anything because i can still play music and view images?
Got a 64Gb card in mine with no problems at all. Shows the same space as it did on my Note 3.

Had the exact same problem with my son's sd card on another phone about a month ago. After too many hours trying different things, I ended up having to throw it out.
It turns out that it's because of the new Android 4.4 update. Google has decided to do away with ability to give permission to write on our sd cards and it is creating quite the uproar everywhere. For those of you that haven't yet encountered these issues, that's only because you aren't running latest Android OS. They mentioned that there might be a fix in the next version of Android Lollipop. But for now, we are left with only one other alternative and that is to root our devices and allow permissions to write to sd cards.
