Recently purchased a samsung evo+ 64GB and when i MOVE files to micro sd and delete the internal files it came from it deletes the file i transfered...
Is it not ok to delete the internal file [pics,videos,music] after you move to the sd card? Everytime i do it deletes it..
I must have deleted 3000 songs and my recent vacation pictures
The move from an iPhone to Android has not been a smooth transition .. everything is so complicating and sending videos is a pain as it is always blurry
Is this legit ?
Do i always have to have the micro sd MOUNTED for it to be able to directly transfer photos I snapped..
I need all the help I can get
Here is the sd checker

Just switched over from an Evo 3D and swapped my old 32gb sd card. Opening the native file manager, or Astro, or es file manager have all come up empty when exploring the sd card. Weird thing is that my pictures still show up in the gallery as well as all my music in the music app but not in any file managers.
Another strange issue is that I am unable to download anything from the browser, k don't know if this is related to the sd card so I am hoping to hear if anyone figured out how to get around this. Also, I am unable to mount USB dried when plugged into the computer. I appreciate any help you guys can provide.
Try exploring external_sd. SD is the phones storage and not the card you put in.
....
I am trying to get used to this as well! I think the folder named "sdcard" should ACTUALLY be the sdcard!

Does this mean done apps that utilize the sd card will have issues or even not work at all?
same question here...i have a sub dir called /sdcard/external_sd But if you want an app to use the SD card it will use /sdcard, not the external_sd...so is it a total waste to put a microsd card into this phone, since I will only be able to utilize the space if i manually copy **** to that directory????
If you move an app to the "SD card" in the manage applications it will move it to the actual SD card. It won't put it on the internal storage.
Just got my GS2 today and I must say this is the easiest phone I have rooted to date! I have been working my way around the OS and found that apps are not seeing my files on my External SD Card. Is there a way to sort of sync these? I guess I dont mean sync, but have apps search both internal and external storage for files? Take beautiful widgets, I have a ton of images on the ex sd card. When I launch the app to apply one of those images it looks in phone storage and gives no option to search the ex sd card.
Thanks

easiest thing would to move everything to the internal sd card. i dont like how the phone sees SD card (internal) then from there i have to navigate to the folder called 'external sd' to look at my microSD files.

Exactly, but what good is it to have an external card if the apps dont use it? If I have to move everything to the internal card, what can I put on the external card and be able to use/access? None of my apps recognize the external card, lol.
i use my external sdcard for music & movie business and use the internal for everything else. i sync back & forth between pc & cell a lot so having a CLEAN (aka, none of those extra android folders) sdcard makes browsing and syncing much easier, cleaner, and organized. also, without that android bloat i can tell exactly how much goodies i have just by looking at the size of external sdcard
ps: external sdcard is more or less just a subdir on the internal sdcard.... its /sdcard/external_sd if i remember correctly.
i just slap my movie files onto thte internal sd since i delete them afterwards... didnt realize 16 gb is a lot of space lol
I removed some movies from the internal memory but when i go to storage, the available free space is the same as when the movies where there. I held the movie file down and selected delete when the pop up menu came up.
Any suggestions to clear the inetrnal memory or do i need to format the usb storage which will delete everything from internal memory?
Thanks,

Hey everyone,
I have a stock non-rooted Sprint version Galaxy S3 with Jellybean. I installed a 32 GB SD Card and it worked fine for the longest time. Today I realized that when I take pictures it will not save to the SD Card. The card is recognized by the phone, it reports the correct size, and I can see the contents but I cannot write to the card any longer.
I unmounted the card, uninstalled and reinstalled the card, and restarted the phone, but no matter what I do I can't save anything to it. I downloaded an SD card testing app and it said I didn't have permission to write to the card. Has anyone heard of this issue before? I am going to try to use the Kies Air app to move all of the contents of the card to my PC and reformat it to see if that helps. Thanks to anyone who might know what's going on.

Have you tried already manually adding stuff to the card via transfering files from Internal to ExtSDCard?
Have you set up your camera settings to save picture / recordings to external SD card or
try testing to create new file / folders within the card?
Hi this is my first time posting a question on here so I'm hoping I'm doing this correctly
I recently received a SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDHC card to use in my AT&T Note II phone. When I inserted the external SD card into my phone, everything mounted correctly and functioned right. However, when I tried to transfer my pictures and music into to the external SD card from my internal SD card using the stock app My Files, it would say that everything moved to my external SD card, but when I checked it, nothing was in the external SD card and the files that i had moved from my internal SD card were gone. So I backed up all my files from the internal SD card to my laptop to make sure I don't lose files again.
Afterwards I tried all of these methods to get files to properly into the external SD card:
I tried connected the external SD card directly to my laptop using an adapter and moved the files there
I tried moving files to the external SD card while it was in my phone
I also tried using KIES and KIES Air to move files into my external SD card
The first two methods didn't even have files show in the external SD card. The third method, using KIES and KIES air had files in the external SD card but they were corrupted where I can open my picture and it's a icon of a man of some kind and my music files just wouldn't play.
So I just factor reset my phone hoping that this would fix this problem and I haven't tried moving files yet. I'm hoping that perhaps it was an app that was conflicting with the external SD card.
I know that my external SD card is not fake because it came in a legitimate package and I also ran a software (that I can't remember the name of) that puts in data in the external SD card until it fills up and reads the data to see how much actually went in.
Could anybody tell me what the problem is and how I can fix it? I can't go back to the store and exchange it because it was a gift and there's no receipt. Thank you so much for your help.

well seee if it works on other phone if not then sent it back to sandisk service center they dont need any proof of purchase just the sd card packet pic will do as proof as it comes with lifetime warranty , just sent them a mail and report if its faulty and they will ask u to send the sd card back to sandisk center and they will send u a new sd card :good:
if they ask for a sd card no just chk your sd card back it written over there and not on the package as the org number they need is available in sd card back

u still dont need to regret just mail sandisk and iform them abt the issue they will ask you to send the damaged chip and they refund it , for me they did not ask for any proff
So here's what I did:
- Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with an old 2GB microSD card, bought new 32GB micro SD card as an upgrade. I wanted to transfer the 2GB microSD card's contents to the 32GB one. Didn't have a PC/lappy with me at the time.
- I created a folder called "SD" in the internal storage and moved all files from the 2GB microSD to that folder
- inserted the 32GB card, moved the contents of the "SD" folder to the 32GB card
Now here's the problem :
- after all these, some of my games no longer have their icons, and when i tap them i get a message saying "application is not installed".
What could have happened here?
Most probably there are (were) hidden files that didn't get transfered. It is best to use a PC to transfer data. I did it 2-3 times and it works 100%. Also, if you had games installed to SD card - you have to move them to PHONE and then back to new SD. just copying the SD card won't do the trick. Or use Titanium backup to back up apps. Copying SD card works for data/app data, various obb files for games etc, but not for APPS that were moved to SD card.
