Android Marshmellow SD card access - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Group,
I am unable to access the sd card on Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.4. I have tried the tips I can find online like formatting the card but nothing seems to work, I continue to receive "grant access to sd card error "messages.
I have spent a week searching but can't find a fix. I want to be able to insert an sd card by otg and copy photos to an sd card inserted into the tab. Do I need to root the tablet for this to work?
Thanks for your time

I also read on another forum that the cards made before December were presenting with these errors .

Go physical
My Samsung Galaxy note 2 showed same error. But when I used sd card on my PC I could see all contents. I tried several SD cards, installing apps, changing firmware and always same result. I almost return my cellphone to seller. BUT I remembered that on PC, dirt makes some noise and generates annoying behaviors.
SO I decided to go physical.
I turned off my device
I got off battery door, battery and sd card
I used contact cleaner generously on sd reader.
I waited for about 5 minutes.
I put back sd card, battery and battery door
I turned on my device
Bingo!! My Sd card is back!!!!
I hope this can help you...

Hello, I am having the same problem.
Since yesterday after rebooting my phone, I am getting "damaged sd card". After removing the card and putting it back in, it changed to "Blank SD card or has unsupported filesystem".
Cleaning the contacts didn't help.
Any more advices on this topic? I don't have a card reader for micro sd cards nearby. Is there a way to fix the sd card using adb / filesystem / shell tools?
I have some data on the card I didn't back up yet and don't want to loose.

When SD card get corrupted, you need a PC and a SD card reader. Connect SD card, open command prompt, type “chkdsk /f /X <driver letter>:”.
If this doesn’t fix sd card you need to replace it.

All right, I bought a card reader and tried the chkdsk thing.
To my big surprise, chkdsk told me that the sd card is RAW type and therefore not usable with chkdsk.
How's that even possible? How can a SD card simply change it's type?
Can I reverse it somehow and recover the partion table? I really don't want to loose the cards content.
Any more advices on this?

[Q] Problem with CM-10.1 and external SD card

Hello,
I successfully installed CM-10.1 on my Galaxy W. Now it works much better than with the original firmware.
My only problem is, that I can not get Evernote to work. It tells that I have to insert a memory card before I can use Evernote.
But there is a SD card inserted.
Why does Evernote not recognize this card? Do you have any suggestions how I can solve this problem or do you know the reasons of this problem?
Best regards

EDIT: It also seems that the included Android Browser does not recognize the SD card. I tried to download something. And it tells me, that the download cant be done, because a SD card is needed.
Also the gallery app does not recognize the SD card.
The external SD card is mounted under /storage/sdcard. With the filemanager I can see the files on the card. Maybe the card is not mounted correctly?
Hello,
I have some additional information.
I found a workaround for my problem. To get access to the external SD, I have to connect my phone as an USB mass storage device to a PC and disconnect it again. Afterwards i can access the external SD.
But after restarting my phone, the problem appears again and I have to do the workaround again.
I think that there is some bug and permissions or so are not set correct during startup.
Du you have any idea how to solve my problem?
Best regards

32GB Micro SD Issues

Good Afternoon
Ive recently been given the Samsung Tab 3 7 inch and im having major issues with the 32GB Micro SD Card.
I can add folders and files to the SD card through a SD Card Adapter plugged into the card reader of my desktop PC and I can view these files once put back into tablet.
Once in the tablet I cant move anything around in the ‘My Files’ App I cant delete anything or add anything either.
Its like its just readable. I cant save photos from the camera to the SD card and I cant create any folders on it using the tablet.
It works perfectly in my friends Samsung phone…. I put his 8GB sd card into my tablet and it worked for a while and I was able to create folders and move files in ‘My file’ app. I removed it and tried it again and it became ‘Read Only’ like my 32GB
Also if I plug my tablet into the desktop PC using the usb adapter I cant change detele or add files to the card!
Very confused.
Im new to android so if anyone needs anyother info to help me out I will try my best to answer.
Thanks guys.

Try this app as a Device Manager
Did you try to format SD card in the settings ?
SD Card
Yeah, i re formatted in on the phone, on my desktop PC.
The only way i can get files onto it is through an SD card adapter plugged directly into my PC.
I cant get it to work through the USC, i tried Kies and also Android File Manager and i have no luck.
Android File Manager - Doesnt recognise the device
Kies - Locks up when i try adding something to the SD Card.

Got lineage 17.1 android 10. Memory card after format is not usable. The phone cannot save to it. No error though for example for camera app set to store to ext mem.card. If that would not be all enough. Memory card will mess second SIM and can not connect to provider network. It seems that something keeps crashing (keeps trying to connect but no avail). Took off memory card and now been able to use two SIM cards for months.. A definite deal breaker.
