Hi. I am actually a Captivate owner with a Fascinate question. I was able to install Mame4Droid on my Captivate after placing the ROMs into the phone itself. I was unable to install the program onto the microSD card for some reason, but in the end, it didn't matter since I was able to access the folders on the phone.
I tried to do the same with the Fascinate, but was unable to access the phone memory files like I was able to do on the Captivate. I tried to move it to the microSD card, but like the Captivate, I was unable to see the files on the microSD card. I installed the drivers from Samsung onto the computer, but I could only access the microSD card rather than the phone memory. Is it possible to access the phone memory file system to place the files into the right place on the Fascinate without rooting?
Thanks
Anyone with a Fascinate who has Mame4Droid working out there?

I'm wanting to backup & format my SD card following a problem with Sense not loading described in another thread. Having read various threads about this problem it seems that some, if not all, revolve around issues with the SD card.
Through File Explorer, on the phone, I've selected ''Show all Files'' from within my SD card directory. However after connecting my phone to my PC thru active sync there are some files that are visible on my phone in the SD card directory which aren't visible in the SD card folder on my PC screen. I've tried to find the show all files setting on my pc but haven't been able to.
Thing is I don't want to backup my card then format it and possibly not backup all files that are present on the card.
Any help appreciated.
Hi there,
Two days ago I copied all the files on my SD card to my laptop, changed my card from a 2Gb one to a 8Gb and copied all the files back again onto the new SD card. I never even looked for hidden files neither on the phone nor on the laptop and it all went without any problems and all is working fine.
For sake of good order, I can't guarantee it will work with you as well, but it should.
Bye,
Itamar

Hi, thx for the reply. Think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and go ahead.
I am trying to Flash my G Tablet with a new ROM. When I view the existing files on my G Tablet using the resident file explorer two SD cards show up, SD and SD2 but there is no SD card installed in the slot. The reason this relates to my attempt at flashing the ROM is the mystery SD card is the only thing my laptop shows when tethered using the USB cord.
Can I delete these mystery SD cards without any harm?
If I do delete them, will my laptop then be able to get to the Root folder so I can transfer the Clockwork Mod and TnT Lite files?
Hmmmm interesting i have never heard of that problem (not that its abnormal).Well in the viewsonic g tablet there is an internal sdcard, but you mention a SD card 2. I would reccomend NVFlashing because this may just be a glitch and it will restore your tablet back to normal. And as a plus, it will be very helpful learning how to NVflash your device because it comes in handy very often. Hope it works
Can you format an SD card without any repercussions? I have an INCREDIBLE amount of junk on it, and I just want to start over with it, since I'm being mailed a new Fascinate and all. So are there any essential files or folders that I should not go delete-crazy with?
When you get your new phone (assuming you don't have an sd card reader for your pc) pop in the sd and move everything to your pc, then you'll have everything you have now just in case you need something on there ie: roms, kernels, zip files,music, recovery files, and the like. Disconnect your phone from your pc and verify it copied them or moved them. Then just format it and start over by connecting to your pc and moving the files you wanted back on.

First of all let me say hello to everybody on this forum. (Hello!)
My problem is the following: I have recently bought a Galaxy ACE (Gingerbread 2.3.3). Everything seems to work fine, except when I try to use the phone as a USB mass storage device. I'm using Windows XP, which correctly detects the SD card and lets me access the files on it, but does not let copy files to it. Instead it just shows me that the SD card is full, which isn't true, as the card is new and files on it have a total amount of about 300KB.
Some additional info: tried formating the SD card from the phone, tried removing it and even the battery o).
Any thoughts?
Tried formatting it through Windows Explorer?
What about a partitioner?
I'm running Linux, and GParted has never disappointed me.
If that doesn't work, then seems like it's a problem from the SD Card.
Thank you! That did the trick.
I got the galaxy s3 a couple weeks ago, and when I got it I just put my old sd card in it and it worked fine. I could transfer files to and from it fine, when I hooked the phone up to a computer I could easily copy and paste files to the sd card that was mounted to phone. The sd card I used was an 8 gig Samsung, I recently upgraded to a 32 gig PNY sd card and have had nothing but problems with it. For the first week it would always say sd card was unmounted or unreadable and gave me an error, then mounted and worked. Finally got that fixed, but it would never work for file transfer from my computer, I have to physically take the sd card out of the phone and plug it directly into my computer to actually get files to transfer onto it. But transferring files onto my phones memory works fine, just the sd card has issues. Even when transferring from my phones storage to the sd it hasn't worked in my experience, any help would be appreciated. I don't want to have to root or anything because I know the phone works fine, I think PNY just sucks I haven't had the greatest experience with any of their products.
Okay so the card is doing the error message with the phone again so I guess I need to fix that first, Help?
