Transferring files to SD card - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Any one have freezes moving files from PC to the note 3 SD card via USB cable going very slow for me and sometimes need to unplug my cable from the USB PC port.have a sandisk 64 gb micro sd card class 10 by the way.never had this problem on my older phones.

I had that issue, turned out that one file I had transferred to the note was corrupted and I couldn't even deleted it via the computer or from file explorer on the phone. Ended up doing a format on the SD card and everything worked fine again.

Micro SD card sometimes disappearing

I am using T-mobile Touch Pro 2.
I am quite satisfied with this device except for one problem.
Sometimes (once a day or every other day?) when I turn the device on, the micro sd card is not detectable. The card is in the slot, but the device just cannot find it. (It shows like there is no sd card!)
When I reboot the device or take the micro sd card off and insert again, the device recognize it which makes me very annoyed.
Anyone who has the same problem and the solution?
Many thanks in advance.
FYI, I am using Transcend 8GB micro sd card (class 6.)
The only time I have something like this issue is when I connect the phone to the PC as an external drive, which is by design. Unplugging the phone sets it right again.
Change your MicroSD to SanDisk and you wont have any problems. I have a class 2 16GB and I dont have any problems. If you're worry about the performance, it's pretty fast. using the phone as removable drive it writes at just under 4mb/s, using a usb adapter and the write speed sustains at 8-10mb/s which out performs minimum class 6 standard. All the test was done on a 16gb class 2 with 10gb of badly fragmented files already on the card and writing another 5.5GB into the card. I havent tested read speed but it's faster than write speed.

I had the same problem when i first got my sprint pro 2. All you have to do to fix is... using any card reader, copy all the files on your micro sd card to a new folder on your computer. then format the card to fat32. once formatted copy all of your files back onto the card. pop it back in and you should be good to go.. after doing this to mine, my 16g card hasn't disappeared once.

sd card unmounts from pc while connected via usb

when i connect the phone to pc via usb it opens the sd card folder normally. after a while the folders dissappear and when i go to my computer it shows no usb device. the sd card unmounts on itself after a while which prevents me from copying anything of more than maybe 25mb to the sd card.
I have same problem. The only workaround is to put your sd card into a card reader adapter to put into your usb plug.

usb problem,srsly try a diff one

Micro SD cards not detected

I'm having some strange issues with my S3 and micro SD cards. I noticed any attempt to access one of the folders will force crash any app that tries.
Then I did a nandroid backup from TWRP recovery and when I rebooted the phone, it claimed that the card was empty or damaged.
So I connected the card to my computer to backup everything that was there. Windows did say it needed to be scanned for errors but it didn't find any errors. It was formatted as exFat so I could put larger than 4 GB files on it.
When I put it back in my S3 it wasn't detected at all. No error messages, it was just as if I hadn't put any card in. Under Storage settings, under mount external SD card it just says to insert a card.
What I've found since then is in order to get the S3 to recognize that there is a card I need to do a full format (either FAT32 or exFAT) on my computer. If I do a quick format, it still won't be recognized. I need to do a full format.
But then, if I unmount and connect to my computer, then eject from my computer and put it back in my S3 it isn't detected again and I have to do a full format again.
I thought maybe the card had become defective, but I'm seeing the exact same behaviour now with a different card. The first one I was using was a class 10 32 GB lexar card. The second one is a class 10 16 GB Adata card. Both do the same thing. After a full format on my computer, they are detected on the phone but after unmounting, mounting on my computer, not doing anything except ejecting it, they stop being detected by the S3.
I've even tried re-formatting the card in the phone but that doesn't change anything.
Anyone know what's going on here? Is the phone defective? I don't want to send the phone in for warranty repair except as a last resort as I suspect that would mean several weeks without a phone.
Thanks!

Cannot copy files from PC to microsd card through USB

So I took the advice given in my previous thread and formatted my 64gb ADATA microSD card to fat32, and that allowed me to copy all of my music files directly through my laptop with an adapter with no problem. However, when I try to copy files from the laptop to the card through a USB connection to my phone, it won't work. Any thoughts on how to get it to work? Thanks!

Is it a hardware or software problem? I had a problem with my USB on my Infuse. I found an app, Software Data Cable. It allowed me to go from PC to phone w/o a cable.
I would imagine that it's some kind of a software problem, since the SD card itself works fine but once it's mixed with the S3 it starts to act up

lost sd card - checking for errors on bootup

S-off, On 5.11.0, magisk 13.3. Noticed my sd card dismounting a lot to where now it won't mount at all.
Factory reset. Nothing. In twrp i can see it and all my files but when booted to rom and i connect via usb cable i cannot see on my pc. In twrp if I connect usb i can see but its extremely slow to copy files and i cant have phone offline for 12 hours to copy card to pc
Taking card out and puttibg in sd card reader nothing was shows, card not seen.
I noticed a few months ago encryption popped up when booting though i never actually enabled it
Any ideas besides formatting card and losing my files ? Thanks
Oh and this is the SanDisk 200gb card some of us got when buying phone. Out of warranty now of course
