I just bought a 64Mb MMC card, and I’m having trouble using it. Copying small files onto the card works fine, but when I try to copy larger files (MP3’s etc.) the problems start. Copying the MP3 to the card works fine, but I can’t get MediaPlayer to play the file, and I have had some problems with copying the files back to RAM.
I have also tried to access the new card from my PC (through ActiveSync) but the copying fails quickly (leaving me with a small useless file that I can’t seem to delete).
I have also tried to run SD-bakup to the new card without success (it failed after 90-something percent complete).
When use the card in my card-reader (on the PC) or in my digital camera it works OK. And the Qtek can access the files OK (not MP3’s but RTF’s and JPG’s)
Has anybody else seen this, and is there anything I can do about it (except gripe )
The card is from TwinMOS

Device
Qtek 1010
ROM 3.16.13ENG
Radio 3.19.01
Protocol 32S54
The problem seems to be diminishing on its own.
After having copied a few smaller files to the MMC-card, I can now also copy my larger MP3 files onto the card and play them from there. The only trouble now is to get Media Player to create a playlist of the files - but that is a minor inconveniance.

So whenever i upload songs to my microSD card and then unplug phone from PC, the new-just uploaded songs become unusable. the default phone player just says "Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file" or just skips to next song. the same on doubleTwist player - just skips to the next song.
and in the list the song shows up just as unknown artist (as in picture) just with the file name written (the xx - crystalised), although all the ID3 tags are ok.

also after plugging the phone back to PC and trying to play one of the just-uploaded songs from SD card, they seem to be corrupted, no player on pc can play them
WHAT MAY BE THE PROBLEM AND WHAT CAN I DO?
i have to mention that this started recently and songs uploaded before play just fine. also phone is rooted with zt4root, everything else is as stock as LG P500 comes.
Either ur sd card is wrecked or ur pc is infected with usb viruses and trojans...
scanned PC and microSD card - no viruses.
weird thing is that if i download songs via apps like "MP3 Downloader" then the songs play and are saved on SD card corectly. really ****ing confused..
What size files after you copy?
Try to check for bad sectors SD
maybe your audio libraries are screwed ..u cud try extracting files from a ROM's zip file and then replacing them on your phone using custom recovery and adb..

Checked the card with built in Win7 checker, no bad sectors.

Could just restoring the firmware or dropping phone to factory setting help, cuz i'm hardcore newbie and i'm also really unfamiliar with flashing/ROM's/custom recovery. (and to clarify - haven't done anything to phone, except rooting)
My suggestion:
- go to Settings - SD card & phone storage - enable "Mass storage only".
- connect the phone to a different computer, one that has never seen your phone before. The mass storage mode should allow you to access the memory card, no LG drivers required.
- copy some files you want to test, check if they're OK. Post results.
Always use the "Safely Remove Hardware" procedure to unmount the SD card from the PC.
Hi
I had some really strange issues with my SD card files and I was wondering if anyone could help.
Let's start with the start .
I'm running a GB ROM (OneDroid GB06) with Franco's kernel from 02 oct. Using a 16Gb class 6 SD card from A-Data. Partitions made with CWR version 3.1 (I think).
Anyway the problem is like this. I am using my phone as a voice recorder with AndRecorder Free from the Market. Usually record 10-15 minutes (up to 15MB) interviews and sometimes I record like 10 of them without downloading them to the PC. The problem I had was that after I recorded a few of them, when I connect the phone to PC with data cable, I can't see the recorded files in Explorer.
At first I had an issue when connecting the phone in USB storage mode it told me that I had some errors that had to be fixed. I could not see the files I needed in explorer and after dissconnecting from PC the files were gone from OI File Manager as well. I was however able to find them in the LOST.DIR.
I took the card out, put it in a card reader, backed up my files and did a full format and put all my files back. No more "need to fix" messages when connecting to PC, however I still cannot see the files that I record in Windows Explorer while connected in USB storage mode. In Oi File Manager I can see them, play them and even send to Dropbox via WiFi. Or if I take the card out and put it in a reader I am able to see them in Explorer as well.
Anyone has any idea about this? Kernel or ROM issue?
I used the same program (AndRecorder) before on 2.2 and I'm using it on another O1 running official 2.2.2 and never had a problem like this.

Few times the same problem happens to me I am using a sandisk 4gb SDHC card and i clicked some photos from the camera and those photos were visible in the gallery but when i connected to usb storage on computer, photos were not visible... I'm also using FRANCO.KERNEL for gingerbread 2oct but with stock ROM..
First - install Root Toolbox or Dual SD mount widget and try double-mounting the card when connected. If it fails try copying the parent folder to PC or try to list via typing (Should be on the sdcard directory you store the files) dir /a:h or dir /a:s in cmd (Should be your last hope, though).
Otherwise, try setting up a FTP Server and make sure the card is using a FAT32 file system.
Ianis, thanks for the solution, but I just want a way to make it work as it should, not to try and go back in DOS mode just to copy some freaking files.
Did you try:

Try fix permissions in CWM. If that is not helping, use Root Explorer an check file or folder permissions. Also try to swich between R/O and R/W modes.
Try to buy another phone and sd card!

Next time keep your mouth shut. At least this way the other people won't be aware of the disaster that lies within.
Hi, someone have probably asked this question but:
I've upgraded from stock 4.0 to PA 2.52 (4.1) and suddenly all my media files disappeared from music player and gallery.
- SDrescan doesn't work
- there are no .nomedia files
- when i plug my phone to laptop via USB only files created after upgrade appear (but I can see all the "old" and "new" files in OI file manager)
-neither SD mount widget nor mounting through CW recovery seems to work, so there's no possibility of copying files to my laptop and formatting memory
what to do ?
I like to keep some HD movies on my SD card. While 720 or 1080p isn't necessary on the phone I use it to playback via HDMI to large screens.
Most files are 4GB+ and I'd like to put them on the SD card which is formatted exFat and can accept the files (windows can copy onto fine)
The problem is Air Kies or Airdroid dont' give access to the external SD card so they see useless.
Using the cable (MTP) I can copy large files to the phone storage but to the SD card storage one gets an error
"Cannot copy *filename*"
It's file size is larger than the device limit.
So It seems the phone is telling the PC a limit. The phone is too stupid to realize the card is in exFat and can accept the file.
It's a factory Jelly Bean rom, I'd rather not root or put custom firmware on if I can avoid it. Just looking for a work around without having to take the card out, find a micro SD adapter, put it in my laptop and copy via wifi (slow) form my media PC.
So much for Androids 'drag and drop' simplicity when using a cable.
Default JB Kernel from Samsung doesn't load exFAT module when the smartphone starts.
You can use a custom kernel for that, like Siyah 1.7 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709686
In the features list, we have :
•Samsung proprietary ExFat modules are loaded. Don't ask about ExFat support for aosp roms in this thread.
Cheers,
If that is the case, how does the Samsung Factory JB Rom/Kernel then read & write to the exFat SD without any problem? Ie I can copy anything (10GB MKV's etc) to the SD card via the PC and put it in the phone and it works fine.
What your saying does sort of make sense in that the MTP driver/whatever within the phone knows nothing about exFat and assumes Fat32 and as such does not allow over size files to be written to the SD card.
(Out of curiosity what file system does the phone storage it self use?)
However as the card can be read etc via the phone, it must have exFat ability to do this?
Have they just left exFat ability 'partly' there but left other features of the phone (ie MTP transfer) unaware of it? So much fail! haha
I'm certain before updating I was able to large files without a problem? Have Samsung crippled the phone with JB updates?
I'm starting to think the ICS was better, better standby battery etc, issues like this etc.
I'll look at the custom rom. Kind of silly one has to hack their phone with 2 year warranty to get abilities that were previously available, well done Samsung haha.
nokia 6 with android 9
i have a problem after restarting the device where i assume the SD card has not yet mounted, and this causes the custom sound files (which are stored on the SD card) to be "not found" and replaced with default nokia sounds or no sound at all (it just points to a file that it thinks doesn't exist)
i figure if i can transfer these custom sounds over to the internal memory, i might be able to avoid this problem. however, i've run into a problem with that too. when i connect the device to the computer (corded or bluetooth) i can see the internal storage directory (and the subfolders ringtones/alarms/notifications) but when i place the sound files in these directories, they do not appear within the android menu after hitting "+" to add a custom sound/ringtone. none of the files will load, instead i just see a blank menu with no files in it. (but the files do continue to appear when exploring the directory from the computer)
so how does this work? lets say i wanted to put custom sounds on my android 9 without an sd card. how would i make that happen for this version of android?
thanks
