Guys I have an issue with my xperia zl I don't know if this is Rom related or not. When I connect my external usb to my device it deletes most of the files in external usb, same goes to my sd card whenever I add a file in the card it goes away like it was deleted. I am using stock rom 4.4.2 rooted. Any ideas on how tp fix this? I would appreciate the help.
Try using another USB port also remember KitKat utilizes the ext sd differently now look for an app in the play store that would help or on xda.

Hi there,
Dont suppose anyone has found a way to be able to write to the external SD whilst using JP3?
It's annoying me that I have to write to the Internal, then copy everything across to the external using Estrongs.
Help!!!
Connect with Samsung Kies with USB debugging off and it'll work just fine. It mounts your SD's like a drive on your PC.
How come I'm not able to just connect via usb as mass storage then?
Is there kies for mac? That's where my files are kept.

It works with root explorer as well, but there are no simple ways to do it.
This is actually one of the reasons why I don't use the JP3 atm.
Hi!
I just installed the UK Jelly Bean ROM on my Galaxy Ace 2 and i haven't noticed any issues while using the phone. However, when I try to copy a big file to my sd card connecting the phone to the computer (using mass storage mode), the copy process just freezes. Connecting the SD Card to a normal SD adapter works, there are not any issues copying files that way, but it's imposible to copy files using the phone. Any way to fix this?
Thanks!

I thought I was the only one! I don't think there's a fix for it, not as if Samsung care. Be careful, because of how many times I've had to re-copy files and the constant freezing my SD card was destroyed!

Yeah, that is really annoying, you are not the only one. I've noticed that on MB2 as well, I thought it was a problem in the leak version but it seems they did not bother fixing it. I don't think there is a fix apart from using MTP rather than mass storage for now. Or use apps like AirDroid (or similar) to copy files via WiFi/Data.

It may not be completely destroyed - have you tried running chkdsk /f (or fsck on linux) on your SD card? That saved my card anyway
I usually just take the SD out now and put it into a card reader, I don't like MTP or the hassle of other apps. Besides, I never use the internal SD anyway.
It's definitely dead, I've tried everything from low level formats to what you mentioned. Completely dead, like the one I had before it.. My last phone and the Ace have went through a 32gb SanDisk, 16gb SanDisk and a temporary 4gb no name card in the space of just over a year.
I've had a SanDisk Mobile Ultra 8gb in for a while now and it appears to be working fine so I'm quite happy atm

So, just realized that using a Micro SD with the Note 2 isn't as easy as just inserting one in. I'm reading that the phone has to be rooted and some other apps have to be downloaded in order for the SD card to be used with the phone. Is that the case? So, if the phone isn't rooted the SD card is useless?
Pictures and videos and any music you may download all go there keeping them off the internal memory makes the SD card very useful.

I believe you were given some very wrong information. You can use a micro SD card on a non rooted phone and no apps have to be downloaded to use one.

That's weird and confusing. I found this info on youtube. The other thing, why isn't my phone recognizing the SD card then? Well, it shows on top but I can't store anything on it as if the phone doesn't recognize it's in.
Maybe its upside down..lol
But you'll need to reboot after inserting it. The phone should say preparing SDCard. Or you can mount it in settings.
Open your camera app and set the storage to Memory Card then you can use your file manager to move your other files to the sdcard..
Also, if you use your browser to download things, you can set the default to the sdcard as well.

As the title says & I can't even save pictures to my SD card.
I'm running Android 5.0 via Cloudy G3 2.0. I didn't have this issue when I was stock I don't know if the problem is related to Cloudy G3 as I did adb push a file to my phone (moments before I installed the custom rom) and I have read that doing so messes up permissions regarding the SD Card.
I have done a Google search but nothing relevant is coming up regarding Android 5.0
I'd greatly appreciate it if help could be provided, thanks in advance!
I'm having the same issue, but even though I am running Cloudy 1.0 since I am on AT&T, I don't know if its a rom issue since I cant access my External SD card even through recovery. It shows up as if its empty, and it wont let me access it but I can access it through a computer without a problem. I have been having a lot of issues using my Windows 8.1 computer to transfer files and such. I dont know if its compatibility issue freezing up my sd card.
Anyone got any advice?

Try connecting your phone to a computer, transferring all the important stuff to your computer, and formatting the SD card. That's what I did and it's working again.
My phone no longer detects the SD card. I think the problem was with the card itself as I have no issues whatsoever with a different card
