SD card problems, Help Please!

Hello all, I have a 16 GB sd card (actual 14.83GB) and under Settings - SD card and Phone Storage it says that i have 7.04 GB available...basically half...
The problem is that I have nothing THAT BIG!! I copied the SD card over to my computer and it's only 852 MB...What the hell is going on?
Has anyone had this problem? or does anyone have any ideas as to how to figure out what is taking up so much space?
Help is appreciated, thank you.

Do you apps2sd or apps2ext? Also, by chance is there a folder called: LOST.DIR? Lastly, if you take the card OUT of the evo, put it into an adapter, and check free spaces on your PC what does it say? << Perhaps there's some hidden folders your PC cannot see when you just directly copy the files to your PC.

if you have downloaded a rom or somthing to it, plus music eats memory up badly, i suggest reformatting sd card.
go to settings>sd card & phone storage> unmount sd card> format
make sure you get the files you need off of it. akaics, videos, contacts, apps;etc.
If i helped,hit the thanks button!

Sounds like your card is partitioned.. move your cards over to the computer
Go into recovery
Run partition SD card
Set swap to 0mb
Partition 1 (or whatever its called: main partition ) to full amount of SD card and nothing for ext partition
Hope this was helpful!

Can't access SD card

Hi,
I both a new A100, I put the Sd card and downloaded some epub files (saved in the SD card, acording an incomming message. But I can't access the SD card, where to find it to open the downloaded files. I need another app, or it's other way.
Can somebody help me?

SD Card is mounted in \mnt\external SD. You may need to navigate up,you might be starting in \mnt\sdcard

I'm having the same problem here
Is there any way i can put everything I downloaded directly on the sd card instead of internal. Like files I downloaded they went to my internal instead of my sd
please reply thank you

To move vids and pics go to your my files app, select the files or folders amd move them to your sd card. Not sure how to automatically make them go there.

For pictures, go into settings when you are in the camera app, and tell it to save to your external microSD, should be apparent in the settings where this is set. Regarding moving the rest, I personally like using Root Explorer to move files around, especially when moving quite a few files. It's pretty self explanatory once you use it.
Now, to take this a step further, I use Titanium Backup Pro and have moved some of my larger programs off the internal memory and run them from my microSD card, to save even more space on the internal memory. Haven't had any problems running any of my games off the external microSD.
An even easier way to move files is to install the drivers for the phone from the samsung site, and simply do this in windows. One drive will be labeled "phone", the other will be labeled "card".
And make sure your 50 gb dropbox account is saving to your new microSD as well.

when you take a pic or open the camara ask you if you want to save youe pic on the sd card
and to move then just go to my file a select the file you want to move and move it to sd card

Transfer the big files of your sd card to the external sd card, so you'll have more space on internal sd card.

Swap SD Card. Get an external SD, then put it in. Move all the files from the internal to external sd After that, go to /system and find build.prop. scroll down and find "Change 1 to enable swapping SD cards" and change the 0 to 1. Ensure the system using R/W before editing. Save and reboot.

Can't Write to SD Card

Hi! I have a Sprint LS992 LG G5. I have a 200 GB SD Card. I can't save any files to my phone via the SD Card nor write anything to the SD Card. If I try to download something to the SD Card or have an app write to the SD Card, it will error out. I can, however, transfer files from computer to the SD Card. Is there a possible other pathway in the file explorer to access the SD Card? Currently, using Solid Explorer, my SD Card sits on /storage/BBF5-E792. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

You can save stuff to the sd card. You have to download whatever your downloading and use your stock file manager and move it to your external card. Other file managers will not work.

I downloaded things to internal memory and then was able to move it using Solid Explorer. It is such mickey mouse bull**** that you can't just download directly to the SD card. I only have 32 GB of internal memory space (which isn't enough) and having to move things from internal storage to an sd card is cumbersome and tedious. If you (or I for that matter), figure out a way to directly download to the sd card (which may mean using solid explorer to find another file name path to the sd card) I'll let you know!
