Problem with external sd card - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I am having a annoying problem with my external sd card. It's a 32 GB sd card. When I put movies on it, or transfer movies to it, they won't work or no longer work. But if I put the movie right on my phone they work. I have tried formatting the card but it is still not working. I just have no idea why it is doing this.

1-wrong forum
but...
2-which file system on your SDcard: FAT32 or exFAT?
3-size of the file you want to move on your SDcard?

Sorry. I'm not sure what you mean by number 2. The movies are about 700Mb.

for some 700Mb files, FAT32 or exFAT do not matter so forgot that question...
Maybe a rom issue if you are not on stock rom...
Only with video files or also with other file like mp3?

Oh. Ya, I'm on stock unrooted. It will only do this with videos.

16gb memory card vs nook talbet

Hello everyone I rooted my nook using indirect I notice that whenever I download any app's they do not load to my memory card if I try and put them on the card they are removed from my nook.

Why do you want them on the sd card? The internal storage is more than enough for them to install there whilst having all app data being stored on the sd card.
I would like to have them on the card because I have not set up the nook internals memory to get the full 16gb.

Check your free space for applications. It should be something like twelve GB.

If you rooted with Indirects method then all your apps are being stored in the 12GB portion of the NT. There is nothing to set-up.
So there is no need for the 16gb memory card or can I add it to.

A lot of apps will store data on the SD card. Like large 3D games for example- some are 500MB to 1GB downloads to the SD card.
And of course you'll need it for books, music and movies as well.
I think the Market and Amazon app store require an SD card be present.
what is that path to the 12 GB?
So can anyone please tell me how to set up my memory card where I can move all of my downloads to it.

Are you talking about moving apps? If so, I believe B&N has removed the necessary parts of Android to do this. I don't know that anyone has been successful with it.

Getting the xbox 360 to read both SD cards

Is there anyway you can get the xbox to read both the internal and external sd cards becuase at the moment it only reads the internal card.
Thanks in advance
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
You sure? Go into the Portable device then find the folder External SD
Good luck
Yep for some reason the video player won't read any file from the external sd
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
What format are they? The Xbox can only read specific ones try WMV or MPEG-4
I.M
It can play the files I just have to keep copying them off the external sd
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I see, I guess it could all depend on what ROM you are using. If you are using stock i don't think its possible to just mount the SD card. Or it could be down to the Samsung formatting the SD card to something that the Xbox cannot read. Sorry i couldn't help, good luck with it.
I.M
I'm guessing it's because like when I plug it into the pc it reads 2 different drives and can only read 1 portable drive at a time but thanks anyway

SD card not working.

Anyone know how to get to the SD card? I put a known working 32 GB card in and it will not show up. It is formatted NTFS, could that be the problem?

Yes, the NTFS formatting is your problem. Format should be FAT32.
Fat32 should be the formatted state... I really hope you don't think you can install apps on it ....I learned that the hard way... ICS won't let us install apps to our external memory card smh

I have an app (maybe it's a widget?) running on my phone, circular battery indicator. I put the .apk on my MicroSD card and installed it from there. Works well! Gotta have the .apk though.

They apk can install from.the sd card but if u look in the app manager... It installs to the internal or phone storage not the ext sd card

Well, it seems that I am going to have to record videos in my internal and paste then in my external sd card .
Then it could be your ext sd card problem. Try reformat.

what class is your sd card?

Its a 16 GB Micro SD HC
I'm guessing its a Class 4 then.
Try reformatting it as suggested.
If that doesnt help, you could try using a quicker card (eg.Class 10) or record videos to your internal card then move them to external.
Sounds like your current card isnt quick enough.

Thats what i thought. What I'm doing is recording them to internal memory , then go into my files and move the video to external.

Also , i was planning on buying a faster card from a local shop. What should I tell them so that I get the fastest card?
And I also tried quick reformating it from computer and even from phone storage - format sd card.
When i tried to format it from pc(not quick) it took forever ..so i stopped it.
I've just ordered a Class 10 card so I'm hoping that'll be quick enough
The higher the class, the quicker it should be

SD Cards/Memory all messed up??? - Beans 6

Alright, so when I try to take pictures or screenshots, it says it's unable to do so because I'm out of storage or something? I have 1.5gigs of internal left, and 28gigs of external.
Any help/suggestions? Never had this before.
I am running Beans 6, by the way
Edit - figured it out
You had it set to ext sd card in the camera right? Once you change it to internal memory in the camera app it should work and then store it on the ext sd card right?

I'm having problems with a few sd cards on the stock verizon. My phone has been rebooting on it's own and the only thing that's fixed it so far was swapping the sd card out the first time and formatting it the second time.

I tried that, but even then it still wouldn't work. Downloading from browsers and all, didn't work either.
