Hi,
I'm posting this issue second time. I have a class 2 SD card with almost 1700mb of ext3 partition. the problem is that my SD turns to read only when accessing some files from my sd card. it says in the notification SD card mounted as a read only and then say "tap" to resolve the card responded unexpectedly.
tapping on it sometimes help if i remove the files that I was trying to access that created the problem. otherwise it mounts it as read only.
Hi, you sure your card is a genuine one? The problems you are having are identical to what I had. Turns out my 32gb card was in fact an 8gb card, and the problem was when capacity was reached it would go to read only. The only way to rectify this was to take the card out, place it in my PC card reader right click on properties of the drive and run the error checking tool. Hope this helps. Got my money back anyway thought £36 was a bit cheap lol! Try writing a large file to the card using your Computer, this should give you an indication if the card is genuine or not.

Card is genuine. I have placed my card several times in my brothers htc hd and formatted it through windows. its almost 8 gb i checked it on windows. last time I deleted a folder which has wiered name as if the folder was corrupted. I deleted that folder n it was running fine again. but its back again.
mine came with telus, so it should be genuine. what does class signify? like i have class 2, what does it mean?
CLass is the speed of read and writes.
I recently had a problen like this it turned out to be a corrupt file in the .secure folder used for apps to sd.

then I guess its because of corrupt files but why is it so often specially when I copy something from windows.
I had this problem once after disconnecting from a Windows PC, simply connect the sd car directly to a computer and run the windows verification tool, it finds the corrupt file and your sd card starts working again
hey i recently had the same problem ,, but i figured it out and this method should work fine...!!
>First of all you should know how this problem has occurred..??,
well the reason is, we all connect the phone to system in usb mass storage mode ,,but while removing we'll only give safely remove in the system and forget to do the same in the phone ,,,trust me this the core for this problem....sd-card cannot be fully unmounted by system ,,, so you have to manually do this by your phone
so if you are using the sense rom ,,after ejecting the disk in the system ,,,in your your phone's notification area
in ''connect to pc'' menu select charging only .....this will completely unmount your memory card .
>if you are using non sense rom ,,"turn off the usb" mass storage
do this every time you connect your phone to the system ..!!!
ok now solution for your problem..
>reboot your phone to recovery mode using rom manager...
>select partition menu
>now select mount usb storage ,,,
>now you have tow options
1. either you backup every thing and format your sd-card (recommended)
or
2.mount your sd-card and check for errors in windows,,,
this should fix your problem ..
remember ,,next time when you are connecting your phone don't direly unplug the the cable..!!

The Class number represents a multiple of 1 MB/s
So if 2 is written on ur SD card then it means that its capable of a read speed of 3MB/s

- Not always true, its happened to me on several occassions when not connected to PC etc... Flickie HD caused mine
If you have a mac the fix is - disk utilities - repair card
Full format I found to be better though
I am basically having an issue where I can take pictures with the stock camera, but if I plug the phone into my computer the pictures wont be there. And then after disconnecting the phone, the pictures will have been deleted from the DCIM folder. Oddly enough though, after a reboot, it will function normally for one cycle of (taking a picture, viewing it in windows explorer, and then disconnecting the phone). Anything after that and no "new" photos will show up in windows explorer.
I was running Mikg 2.55, but in hopes of it simply being a bug I have wiped multiple times and tried a different ROM. The issue is still identical though. My only thoughts left are a possibly faulty sd card at this point, but it is odd that everything saves and works fine on the sd card as long as I don't plug it into the computer and enable "disk drive".
Thanks for any advice or input everyone.
did you try a different sd card?

I have not yet, I unfortunately do not have another sd card available at the moment. But I have the feeling that is ultimately what it'll come down to, to try and narrow the problem.
If you can get everything backed up to your computer, try formatting the card & only move back the necessary files.
It could also be your computer or something on your computer. Does it happen if you mount as disk drive to another computer?

I have backed up the SD Card and formatted it multiple times, the symptoms remain the same after the format. I've dealt with corrupt sd cards before and this is odd in how it acts.
So if I use a file browser on the phone and create an empty folder, it won't be there on the computer when I connect and use as "disk drive". The folder is essentially deleted the second the phone is plugged in. But, if I create the folder from windows explorer onto the phone, and then unplug it, the folder is still there.
I don't have a second computer to test it on, but this does seem like a rather odd problem....

I think you have something set on your pc that is acting up with the phone. I would look through your user access and controls and see if anything strange has access to things its not supposed to.

That was my thought as well, I've noticed that I can take pictures on the phone and the computer is unable to see those photos in windows explorer. But when I disconnect the phone, the photos show back up in gallery and android file explorer. If I restart my phone, then the photos will show up in windows. Of course, then the process repeats for any kind of new picture (or any file created on the phone side).
Also, windows seems to be prompting to scan the sd card for errors most of the time now when I plug it in. That may be an indication of it thinking files are corrupted. I also loaded windows into safe mode to try and rule out any outside program influence on the windows side, same symptoms occurred though.
I have a very similar issue where any pics I take show up as corrupted files when I plug the phone in and sync it. When I do, I get the popup telling me I need to scan my card and it always finds errors in the cache files for pics in the MIUI folder and deletes the pics that gave me problems.
The whole time I can see them in the Gallery, etc, but not on my computer when the phone is sync'd.
If I don't do the scan, when I flash a new version of MIUI, they're fine, until I take more pics, and then it starts all over again with those
Update: Got around to plugging the phone into another computer in order to rule out any software issues. The issue remained the same.
But, finally got a hold of an old micro sd and transferred over all the files to it. Changing out the sd card has fixed the issue, there are no more pictures being deleted or windows errors in regards to corrupt files.
As odd as this was with the previous sd card, I have no choice but to believe it is faulty beyond repair. I have attempted to reformat it multiple times, quick and full formats. Also let windows do a full scan for bad sectors on the sd card, but in the end the problem still remained.
I believe I will step up to a higher end memory manufacturer for my next sd card, in hopes that I can avoid this happening in the future. Just as an FYI, my current sd card was a 16gb San Disk (Class 4).
>: Maybe it's time for me to replace my card too. Hell, it is 2 yrs old.....
Hi everyone!
I was looking around for an app that could share my SD card with a computer via USB Mass Storage protocol, but no success. There were apps for other phones, but they didn't work for my phone :/ So I've created something for my own, and I hope it will work for your phones too. My app works only for external SD card.
REQUIREMENTS
* Rooted Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini (GT-i8190). This app may work for other devices too, but I can not guarantee that.
I have tested it against:
* Android 4.1.2, firmware JZO54K.I8190XXAMD3
* Windows XP SP3
* Windows 7 64-bit
Not working on:
* CM 10.1
KNOWN ISSUES
* USB PC Connection will still display MTP/PTP mode, even if the mode is Mass Storage. I could fix that issue, but this will require permanent configuration changes, which I would like to avoid.
* Other USB modes (especially ADB) are disabled during UMS mode. This can not be overcome.
USAGE
* Launch the application, click Enable UMS. This will unmount your external SD card from the device, and when the card is unmounted, app will switch USB mode. You should see two new drives appearing in My Computer window. On the second one, your SD card data should appear.
* When you are done, eject (unmount) the drive in Windows.
* Click Disable UMS. This will switch USB to the state it was before enabling UMS, so MTP/PTP mode, as well as ADB will be back. Then, your SD card will be mounted in the phone. An MTP Application prompt may appear, asking to restart MPT application. You may answer what you wish
IMPORTANT NOTES
* Never mount SD card in the phone (Settings->Storage->Mount SD card) while it is shared with a computer. This will cause the card filesystem to be mounted concurrently by two operating systems, and for sure cause data lost.
* Always eject (unmount) the card from a computer before disabling UMS.
* It seems that results (especially glitches and hangs) vary depending on the SD card you are using. See this post by myself.
HELP, THERE'S SOMETHING WENT WRONG
* You may restart your phone. The app does not make any permanent configuration changes, so it's the safest option.
* Restart your computer.
* Unplug and replug USB cable.
* You may try to disable USB, wait for several seconds, then either enable it again, or from the system USB PC connection app, change the mode to PTP, and back to MTP. Be patient, and wait before performing next operation.
* Be patient. From time to time, the computer takes a lot of time to detect device going back from UMS to MTP/ADB.
* App not working. Describe the symptoms (app crash, phone crash, computer crash, nothing changes, etc), your device details (operating system version and build) and attach logcat (adb logcat -d -v long > filename.txt) logs.
P.S.
I would kindly ask moderators to move this thread to the appropriate subforum, if it is already not. Since I'm newbie, I can not post to Developer's forum. Thanks

Do you copy from the SD card, or to the SD card?
If you copy from, have you tried opening some files directly from the SD card? Do they open?
If you copy to the SD card, did you unmount it in Windows before disabling UMS?
I have just tried copying in both directions, and files do copy properly.
Hi f_ranek
App is working well, but hungs PC copying from PC to SD and vice versa with files more than 690 Mb, hope you could fix it, it will be very usefull, well known advantages from ums mode.
Thanks for your job.
Do not go on CM10

Actually, there seem to be some timeout issues. For instance, first I tried copying big files, and it seemed that everything hung, with strange Windows messages. So I disconnected USB cable, disabled and reenabled USM mode, and replugged USB. Then, I copied 40 MB to my SD card, but before the copying starts, I had to wait for a quite long time (about 30-60 seconds). But, surprisingly, after copying that 40 MB file, I have copied 80 MB file, 200 MB file and 700 MB file without any troubles and additional waiting! And they play well on the device. For your record: I was using Win XP SP3, and Total Commander 6.53. Tomorrow I'll try on Win7 64bit.
I'll try to tune a little the configuration, but have no idea if this will change something.

First of all, you are using quite unsupported by operating system. CM is Android, but is very different from the stock one, that device manufacturers put on their devices. Now, I have no plans for supporting CM - maybe find an app dedicated for CM, or ask CM developers to put back UMS mode natively, without any hacks. Because yes, UMS is still there, but hidden in UI, and all that UMS apps are doing is just guessing where and how, and hacking your OS.
Second, if you are using CM, it means that you are quite powerfull user. And I hope can read with understanding to install CM. So please read my post, and attach logcat (adb logcat -d -v long > filename.txt) logs. Sorry for my irony, but if you want to get help, you must first make a little effort.

Thank you very much, inadvertently, this application works on 4.1.2 original stock
Hi everybody!
Recently I did some test with Windows 7 64 bit. The tests were performed on fresh system (the phone was plugged for the first time), the phone was plugged directly (no USB Hub down the line), and I've always switched to UMS before plugging the cable.
If you don't want to read such a long post, skip to the emboldened bottom line.
First, I've tested my regular SD card, 2 GBs labeled Kingston. I've copied 1 GB of files from the SD card to the computer, without any trouble and at average speed of 14 MB/s. Then I wanted to delete those files. After selecting them, and hitting Shift-Delete, I got delete progress dialog, which hung up leaving 1 file (out of 6) undeleted. At this point, access to SD card seemed to hung. I was unable to cancel the operation and close the dialog, as well as refreshing of the My Computer window took significant period of time. So I decided to unplug the USB, and replug it again. After that I noticed, that the files I wanted to delete are gone. Then, I copied back 700 MB file to the SD card. The copying avg speed was 3-4 MB/s, and the CPU utilization window (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495763) showed big blue bar.
Second, I replaced the SD card with another 2 GBs, labeled Japan. Then I copied 3 files (40 + 80 + 30 MB - no more space available, and no unnecessary files to delete) to the card. The copying was smooth, with little glitches before or after each file copying. The avg speed was 10-12 MB/s, and the device haven't indicate increase CPU load (neither green nor red or blue bars). Then, I tried deleting several files in a row from a directory, still without any glitches.
Edit: testing now, on Win XP, and through USB hub (does it matter?) does not work so perfectly well :/ I got one hang during folders deletion, and quite a long glitch before copying of several folders started.
Third, unlabeled 2 GB card sold (probably) with Nokia 6303i. First, I wanted to browse file system on the device. The performance was really bad, I was only reading files and traversing directories. Suddenly, all the file names changed to random characters (no writes performed by myself), and the phone indicated file system error, and unmounted the card. When I tried to share it with PC, windows said that the card is not formatted. The same phone, when trying to mount it back. The card can't be read neither on Nokia 6300.
Last, but not least - unlabeled 128 MB card got with my Nokia 6300 back in 2008. The phone indicated unformatted card, or unsupported file system. The same with Windows 7 accessing it with UMS, and Windows XP accessing it from the SD card reader. But, the card can be still read by my Nokia 6300, however, it's name is a little crapped. Moreover, I can access it from Windows XP using that Nokia in UMS mode!
So, the bottom line is
everything seems to depend on the SD card you are using.
Another story: the same micro SD card accessed via UMS in Nokia 6300 - very good performance, accessed via SD card reader with micro SD adapter - terribly bad performance. Another SD card accessed via the same SD card reader - very good performance. So as you can see, the same SD card, different reading devices - different effect. The same reading device, different cards - different effect.
Im not able to install on stock 4.1.2 i get problem parsing the package
Hello all; I just got the T-mobile Tab S LTE variant, SM-T807T, and I am/was absolutely loving it.
then 30 minutes ago...
I inserted my SD card from my nook, a 64GB card with about 55GB worth of comics, music, ebooks and photos. At first no app could see anything on the card (although the Storage menu in the Tab's settings showed the correct space and how much was full).
Rebooted and I could see all my pictures using my favorite galary app, QuickPic.
However, some files wouldn't open so I unmounted the card through the menu, took it out, inserted it back in and no files show up at all.... OK
Rebooted the tablet and now it looks like I lost about 30GB of files! the "comics" "ebooks" "music" folders are all completely gone. and almost all folders are gone from my "photos" folder. I unmounted the card and put it into the PC and same thing.
Some folders are still there with a few files here and there.
I'm pretty devastated. The SD card worked this morning in my nook and I have been organizing comics on it for months.
I will try recovery software when I get home but this is awful and so much time is lost on the organization of the folders. That's assuming I can even recover the files. Anyone have any suggestions?
My tab is unrooted (couldn't find T807T root anywhere) and 2 days old. Should I return it or could it be my card or stock KitKat or what?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Update:
While I'm not sure what exactly went wrong, my LOST.dir folder had over 20GB worth of files in it so I used "MiniTool Power Data Recovery" to scan the card and was able to find all the files and restore them to my desktop in proper directory hierarchy and file names (which if you've ever used data recovery software you'll know is quite rare). I had the software from before when I had some SD failure in my dSLR (I'm sensing a pattern here, and I actually invest in good branded cards!) and the program worked perfectly.

Exactly don't use them cheap cards they are crap
I did use a branded card, Team 64GB SDXC from newegg. I always get cards with reviews form reliable sources.
update:
After reformatting the card in the tablet, and moving all the files back to it and trying to use it in the Tab S it still wouldn't work. It wouldn't delete my files anymore but it had a very strange behavior whereas I could see the card's contents for about 20 seconds after mounting it but then everything would disappear completely. The used/free capacity would still show accurately in the Storage settings tab but I could not access any of the data through any programs (including Samsung's My Files).
Funny enough, I had the same sd card in my phone (same brand/model/capacity) and that one works fine in the tab. My phone (galaxy note 2) reads both so i swapped them.
Everything running smoothly now, except of course for Google's douche move to disable write to sd card in 4.4.2. I hope root for the SM-T807T comes soon...
Hi! I have htc 10 with 128 gb sd card formatted as internal memory. I was transferring a photo folder from phone to laptop using USB cable and USB connection in media transfer mode. The folder seemed to be transferring alright but the pasted folder in laptop is empty. Since I didn't understand photo sync in Google photos I don't have any backup...desperately seeking to restore that folder. Need all the help
I'd avoid using the SD as internal, sounds great in principle but can cause issues if there's an interrupt..
For apps I'd use folder mount, needs root but it's simple to use and doesn't affect internal memory.
In regards to the images, did you cut the images? Copy or simply drag them, a drag would be a copy. So the original should have remained. If you cut them then they'll have been in limbo and will then be marked for deletion.
In future always use copy instead.
If the photos are no longer in the phones memory then they'll have been marked for deletion, a data recovery app on Windows and or your mobile may help but not sure.. Have had a lot of luck on SD cards when plugged into Windows but never scanned a phone as it's a live OS and I imagine it would need complete read access.
If the photos were on the SD card and are no longer visible, connect the SD card up to your computer because if they're marked for deletion and the OS decides to use those clusters, it'll be overwritten which will make it harder for recovery.
Hi,
apps from market not working for me, but Recuva has worked hundred times for me.
