I am using micro sd card from my old phone. This card has some folders names starting with "." such as .temp. How do I see content from this folder on my s3? These folders don't show up in file manager on phone nor in ES file explorer.
Go to the mnt folder and then you will see ext sd card.

that's not what he was asking.
Go to settings > file settings > show hidden files

Yeasterday I finally flashed CM9 and so far I love it but I have a rather annoying problem: I can't mount and access SD card from file managers. On the other hand, apps that use SD card (PowerAmp, Titanium backup, Apollo, Gallery etc.) read data without a hitch.
Right now, the only way to access the SD card's files is to take it out my phone and put in computer...
Please help...
Edit: does it have something to do with the fact I replaced CM9 kernel with Siyah 3.3.1.?

on aosp roms, the external sd card is mounted as /emmc/ and not /sdcard/external_sd/ which is why that folder might appear empty in file explorers

My sd card is working fine but I am unsure how to access the files on my sdcard in astro. The phones memory is shown as sdcard so I'm a bit confused.
I did do a search but couldn't find the answer. Does anyone know how I can access my sd card files in astro? Thanks

Manage My file on the top / click on 'home' , then click on 'up', then you will get /Mount
in that you will find "extSdCard" folder
Thanks

I am rooted stock right now and I remember with my sgs2 on sprint when I event into root explorer (the app) I would click sd card(which would be internal storage) then inside sd card would be ext sd and that would be my sd card. I can't get into my sd card in root explorer only my internal sd. Anyone else have this issue?

Op. It is in the mnt. Need help? Ask away.
How do you get to that Storage configuration menu if you're not rooted?

You'll find the external SD card at /mnt/extSdcard.
been looking for it for almost 2 hours now. Was about to format my SD card until I read this. Thanks
Someone help me please!

Use a file manager such as Explorer.
The location of the external storage is at /mnt/emmc. However, if you connect the phone to the computer and install the Samsung USB driver for your device you will see both storages.
