All,
I'm S-on, unlocked and rooted on the latest stock ICS release. I updated Ti backup a couple of weeks ago and ever since then my rez has issues recognizing my 32gb Sd card. every once in a while it will be fine, but on those occasions when I reboot or swap batteries it only sees an empty folder named Titanium back up,
I did not see any empty folder when I looked at the sd card on the pc. through the card reader. all my expected folders and files were there. not sure what is going on but I'm about to try copying everything onto the pC and then format the SD card. and copy things back. but that is a time consuming PITA and I'd rather not do that if there is a simple fix.
any ideas?

I would back it up and then format it.

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.
Edit: Never mind, i came to the conclusion that all my data became corrupted....probably from too much screwing around. I wiped data and reformatted it.
So i woke up one morning and noticed that my external sd card wasnt mounted anymore.
I tried re-mounting it but it just kept failing...as if there was no sd card.
I took the card out and put it in my pc and saw all this gibberish, i cant take any of the files out of the folders because it says that the titles or something doesnt match or something.
I have some very important files on this card and need to recover these files.
Any ideas?
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?
Hi,
I two days ago rooted my phone (Samsung Galaxy S2). Before i rooted i transferred some files to my computer and i did same with my 4GB sandisk external SD Card, just incase.
So i took my SD card out and mounted it on my computer and then mounted it back to my phone and started to root.
After all was done i notice that all the apps that i had moved to External SD were gone (they were there but only as an android with the name "loading")
Now i can't even move new apps and games to SD card and i can't move them back since they "Aren't installed anymore"
What would cause this to happen, was it the rooting or the fact that i had unmounted the SD card before?
Also, now that i want to backup my stock ROM i can't do it on the SD since CWM doesn't recognize it. I can however backup to Internal, but i am planning to make a factory reset of my phone, so i can "start again" and it would be a great shame to loose my backup files.
Thank you for the time.
1st try your sd card in another phone to see if the problem is with the card or the phone.
If the problem with card replace it.
If it is with the phone, try rerooting your phone.
I always use titanium backup when I switch devices and I went to run the restore apps after I rooted, but the Note 2 did not recognize any back ups. I went into the SD card through My Files. Noticed A LOT of files are gone. It definitely reads the card, just not everything. Pdfs, pictures, apks, etc. all missing. I thought they were gone so I threw the SD back into my SGS2 and it read everything just fine. I'm lost here.

what is the file path you are searching? /sdcard ?.... you need to be in /mnt/extSdCard to view your external sd
the /sdcard is the internal memory.

Yeah thats where I'm at... Anything I physically put on the card reads. Just nothing that was already on there. And I did confirm they're still there putting the card in my computer
I should clarify. Anything I put on the SD card while the SD card is in the Note 2, the device recognizes and reads fine. Files/folders I had previously placed on the SD card is not being recognized by the Note 2
