First I'll start by noting that I haad my n2 several days before purchasing a 64gb sd card. So system was already setup with a few apps installed pre-sdcard.
However now that I have it in, nothing saves to it. Everything still saves to the internal sdcard. I dont care about apps and such installed from market or xda, those are fine.
But anything I download from Tapatalk or the web browser automatically saves to internal. Pictures taken as well.
Im coming from an evo3d where pics and all media/files I downloaded would go to the sd card and not internal.
I do see that for whatever reason samsung nsmed there internal as sdcard which probably makes a lot of apps think that is the external and not internal but its extremely annoying. I dont know if its because I started using phone before I had an external one in or if thats by design.
But its ridiculous to think I'd have to manually copy everything over from internal to external sfter downloading something when my 3d used to place on external.
Do I need to factory reset to correct this or what. Whats the point of an external card that isnt being utilized??
Also it isnt recognized at all in twrp which after some reading I see it doesn't support 64gb? What gives?
Do I need to format it a certain way?
Thanks in advance.

I have not been able to move my Tapatalk download folder, but you can relocate where things download to under settings in the browser and camera apps.
For formatting, I'd format the card via the phone under storage if you haven't already tried that.

I changed camera to external so it now saves to /storage/extSdCard/DCIM which is good but dolphin broswer only lets u select /storage/sdcard0 which is default internal storage. Doesnt even show the extSdCard as an option. Why in the world would they do it like this. Very gay.
Had no issues on previous HTC models going to the correct place.
Would I be able to use root explorer to rename the directories?
Need this fixed more than anything. Some apps dont even give you the option to change path as they assume sdcard0 is your actual sdcard. :/

sdcard0 to extsdcard
I found a scripts the tricks ICS to use your external sdcard as your internal storage. So when apps write data to sdcard0 it is actually writting to your external sd. I tried it and it works!
I dont have permission to post outside links but you can find it at galaxynote2root in the tutorials section.
My external sd cart (named extSdCard) on my sgs3 747 Lh9 dissapeared after backing up with rom manager and then pushing a file over from my computer to my phone. I tried putting it in another android phone and it called it a blank sd card and it wouldn't even open! Please help me figure out how to fix this, I have alot of important stuff on my external sd.
Seems like it got corrupted. You can try out some of the file recovery apps from the market but I've never used any so I can't vouch for them.

Don't format your sd card yet. This happened to me several times. It's the phone itself. The card doesn’t stay locked properly. You'll notice faster battery drain for a few days if it's like anything that happened to me. Back up your sd card if possible. Reinsert the card while the phone is off. I push the metal guard in a little so it stays in. Turn it back on. It should work. You can follow what I did at your own risk.

Similar thing happened to me a few days ago. Notification bar said that the card was damaged. I simply put it into my PC card reader and ran Mini Tool Partition wizard (Google the free download) and I did a scan and fix and I did lose some files from a recent folder transfer (which is what I think caused the problem) but the card file system was quickly repaired and no reformatting was necessary. In other words, the card did not have physical damage.
Hey! So my 64gb SanDisk microsd card was working fine then the other day it decided to switch to read only, and nothing I do will fix it, windows refuses to format it, ubuntu says it did but the data remains untouched, nothing works! Any help?

Try downloading root explorer and mounting it as r/w

do you use an adapter to connect it to your pc?
also, i had a sandisk usb flash drive. 2 of my coworkers had a flash drive and micro sd go out in december and january. coincidence? perhaps...

It says the permissions cannot be changed because the file system is read only

How was this solved?
something similar happened to me with mine. I had to reformat it and I lost everything that was on it but it works now.
Same Issue
I has been dealing with this issue ...now with two SanDisk Micro sd cards XC I, I did tried to format in almost all the know ways...tried Linux, Windows, command line, Different adapters, Different computers, tried with the Storage feature from the Android OS,
Now I have two beatiful 64G micro sd cards....READ ONLY. Also if you browse the content in the file explorer from the computer the Delete option is not listed in the explorer.
Is there any magic tool that can remove this read only feature from the cards????????

Same issue here: did you update ROM to 4.3 version? I read that it could contain a setting within the platform.xml file that you find into system/etc/permission folder. See this
I tried it but with no success.
I hope you're luckier
Btw i sent it back to Amazon asking for refund (and they agreed). Bye

I warn you trying this setting. I tried this >>> Editing .XML file. I started getting severe force closes especially Google Frame Work Services. Even reverting did not help. Had to use my Nandroid Backup to go back.
4.3 is sucking so far for 64 GB External SD Card write support. Titanium Backup & Helium both apps can not do automatic scheduled Backups on External SD Card since 99% of the time they do not get Write Access. Only way to do an external SD Card backup is manually after rebooting the phone, even that is hit n miss.

I agree with you. 4.3 is still far from 64Gb SD Card support, and I know that editing this file can be dangerous, but I read that someone was able to restore his card and due to its cost was worth a try. During my tentative, this update didn't have effect (but at least I didn't get more troubles).
Same issue.
64GB SanDisk card from my Note 3 (search brought me here) became read only after 5 months.
I've ended up sending it under warranty back to SanDisk.
I'm glad I didn't loose anything as I've backed it up but still don't like the idea of returning something with a lot of my data and photos I can't delete.
may have found solution

I was having the very same problem. I finally went into the computer management, and was about to throw phone across room....when I tried to format one last time. This time I unchecked the quick format. It is taking longer, but seems to be working...I am keeping fingers crossed.
Full Format has finished and card is saved! Hope this helps anyone in the future.
So I don't know what I did but I went to my recovery (TWRP) and accidently did something I do not know what, but now I can not view my pics, files, music from both SD/internal..but when I reboot my phone and check on the computer I see everything there and my storage says it's full. I just can't see it on the phone

I think it would be very useful if you can provide a lot more details and specifics about your situation like
which rom are you using, did it ever work properly if so what was the last thing you have done with the
phone before you started having this issue.
If I were you since you can see your internal and external sdcards on your computer I would first create
two new folders on the computer's desktop, one for internal sd and the other external sd.
Then copy all the files and folders from your internal/external sdcard to the appropriate folders on your desktop.
After doing that check how much space is being used in each of your two new folders on your computer's desktop.
See if there are any really large files which look suspicious to you.
After doing that and if the sdcards are either really full or not really full you will have a better idea of what to do to
trouble shoot the issue you are having with the phone.
It's always a good idea in any case to have a backup of both internal and external sdcards on your computer.
Good luck!
It isn't an ROM issue, but I was on PAC Rom. My problem is I did something in the recovery by mistake and pressed something maybe that formatted my memory?? :crying:
edit: Issue seems to be fixed..

That's one of the reasons I was suggesting that you copy everything from both internal and external
cards to folders on your computers desktop.
So you could see what you really have. If you get a message saying sdcard full or anything like that
it normally would mean that the sdcard has not been formatted, if it was it would be empty and it would
not give an error message saying that it's full.
Sometimes the PC will see the files after its been wiped by the phone. Copy everything to desktop, hope it actually copies everything, format sd card using Android OS, copy everything back, get a Dropbox account.

Find a root file manager.
Go to
Data/media.
That's your internal sd card. Some roms create a virtual sd card (sdcard0 or emulated sdcard0), which is android making a a fake one. All your pictures are still on your phone.
Just copy data/media into the virtual sd card an reboot. Your stuff shall appear again. If you have issues just pm me.

I tried doing the unmount trick, the one with the terminal. Still nothing
The "funny" thing is that I can install free apps without problem, but when I download Swype and Poweramp unlocker (which I bought) i keep getting this error
solutions?
Did you try a Link2SD?
More details please buddy, want to help but need to know as much as you can tell. Rom, flash details, when it first happened, etc.

Hello, I have flashed the JellyKat ROM v5 on my NoteII and got a new sd card (ADATA 32GB) from ebay, the card was sealed so I hope I wasn't cheated, but randomly I see these things in my DCIM folder and I can't write to the card and the phone seems to not read the media on it music photos everything, and I can't install any apps on it or update existing app or even create a folder through the default touchwiz My Files.
I tried to format the card on the PC but can only do quick format because it loads and loads and then say windows can't format this, I also formated it via the phone it worked for a while and then stopped working again, now I don't put a card in the phone.

I have been using my old card from my tablet all day now and it is working fine I created a new folder and copied some files from internal storage to it to test it and it worked.
Is there a way to fix the corrupted partitions on the other card?

Yup, I also faced that kind of problem before, simply run KitKat SD fix, grant root and let the app patch the platform.xml. Reboot and try again. It worked for me. :good:
