I have a 32 GB SDHC card with Fat32... When I ever transfer new files to it somehow gets deleted. What is causing this?
Are you telling the app you're using to delete files after they transfer? Maybe you're not looking in the correct location for them. Anything is possible.
I think it's a problem with the SanDisc SD Cards.

just to let you know, fat32 will not allow files over 4gb. so are you saying that they are a bunch of smaller files??
if so then please answer this:
after the file/files get deleted, does the amount of free space go back up or does it seem to say the same?
the only thing as of right now that i can suggest is that you need to take the card out of your player and plug it into your computer and format it again
Are you transferring them on your device from internal to external SD or on a PC?
If on your device, which program to move files?
We should establish that first.
I am using a PC to transfer this files Drag N Drop File size is not over 4GB .. just music MP3s and some apps. The amount of free space changes after it gets deleted,

Have you tried using another card? The only thing I can think of is that the card is malfunctioning

Hi iv connected my phone to my pc via usb I wanted to transfer 10GB file size over on to my sd card but it says file destination too small when there is enough space as my card is 16gb, any help please?
Your sd may be 16gb but you can use only 11.50 gb as the rest are used by the phone.. So I guess you have used over 1.50 gb already and there is not enough space... Try through an external sd or free some space...

But it says I have 11.5gb free?
The file size is only 9.75gb
I see that there is a usb storage in 11.50gb and a system storage in 1.97 gb. Maybe the second is for the applications and is taken from the usb storage...
Why does the phone use 4.5GB of the SD cards space? I thought there was internal storage too.

Yeah I thought so too but somehow it does...

But my external sd card is 16gb and 11.5gb is free on that
It's not only one file, is it? The file system (fat32) can't handle such big files.

Yeah it is fat32, and yeah it is one file. Is there a way around this?
Fat32 can only handle file sizes of around 4GB each time. So each file you want to transfer can only be around 4GB in size. I believe the SGS2 works with an NTFS formatted card, and with NTFS you can transfer any file size.
Can the file you are trying to transfer be broken up into small segments or must it remain as a 10GB file?

It's a video file. So must stay as one. I'll try to convert sd card as ntfs
S2 can't recognise ntfs
Are you sure? Pretty sure I read somewhere that it does. Oh well, is fat32 the only format it reads?

Seems to be, because when formatted to NTFS it says unrecognised format please reformat
Anybody else got ideas?
Try encode with smaller bit rate and smaller resolution?
So lately i changed my SD card in my device to a Samsung 32GB and when I transfered all my song, later I noticed on the music player that many of the artist are missing.
when I went to check what's going on, I found out many of the folders were been replaced by empty folders that their name starts with the letter "µ".
like for example, the folder "ACDC" became "µCDC".
I tried transferring everything back again facing the same problems with different folders.
I tried doing a factory reset and tried moving the song to the SD card through a card reader, and checked the files were OK before inserting the SD card back into the device and they seemed fined, but after I inserted the SD card I noticed the folders got curropted again.
also before I inserted the SD card there was like 500 MB of free space on the SD card, while after I inserted it suddenly the was like 15 GB of free space, caused by so many data that got deleted.
I don't believe the SD card is damaged, but that my device is messing my things up....
I also remember that I couldn't transfer any video files to the SD Card when it was in the device and could only transfer them into the device's internal memory.
what can I do?
Use the sd formatting tool on your pc to format the card, if still the same then throw it away. It sounds like a fake card, did all the files work while it was in the pc?

All the files have worked while it was on the PC.
I even tried transfering everything via a card reader and everything check allright.
only when I insert it in my device some of the folders get screwd.
I just got a brand new Ultra z gpe and immediately i inserted my microsd from my sgs3. Immediately i noticed that i was not able to access my music and movies from my sd card.
Originally i thought it was just kitkat and its sdcard issues. But then i unplugged my sdcard and put it in my pc and i saw a bunch of folders where my files used to be marked numbers for example what used to be download becomes download.1 and songs.5 etc. And these folders are empty folders.
Please help

What format was the card?
a handy little recovery program is photorec. it wont recover the file names but will recover the files and metadata. Don't run it to save the files back to the card, but to a file on the PC

Format is exfat. Will check into your program, thanks

sd card corruption
same thing happened to me with a sandisk 64gb ultra card. before this, worked great without trouble in my NOTE ii
So is there a fix for this?
What is the proper way of using a micro sd card in the z ultra?
formating the card within the phone, then transferring via computer?
any suggestions would be helpful.
thanks.

Do not do such risky operations on the phone like formatting or partition setup. Do them on a pc with Gparted or something similar on windows. Easus works good for me when Im on windows 7.
Also mount the sdcard in a sdcard reader in to the computer. And yes. After partitioning is finished, mount the partition while the sdcard is still in its reader and transfer the data to the sdcard before putting it back in to the phone. It eliminates the risks of errors that could possibly be traced to the phone or something.
i have same problem, i feel my data encrypted and went to LOST.DIR folder somehow but idk how to recover them

sorry i didnt format, y delete from delete option in the celphone... i haven't got an adapter to check if its in fat32. Can it be donde from cel?
EDIT: i tranfer few files and work ok, but when i transfer more files some says error:cant reproduce. Maybe a transfer problem? its another way to quickly transfer music witout cable?
EDIT2: No a specifi transfer problem since the same files work fine in internal storage
You can do this using TWRP recovery if you dare to install it. There is an option to reformat to whatever you need.
As for just checking, I believe there may be an app to tell you what format your SD card is in.
You can always just buy an adaptor for your SD card for under $10.

i think is a sd problem. I transfer a folder with 15 songs and work ok in play music the first time and latear the folder disappear
Yeah, try reformatting the SD with FAT32 on a PC or Mac and see if it fixes it or not.
format in fat32 and ntfs. No one work correct, some transfer files dissapear and audio files only work for or two reproductions, I'm going to try with different card. Its very extrange because the apps i move to sd work fine, but pictures or audio doesnt
is it possible to upgrade the memory inside with more than 128gb? because using the native android 13 move apps to sdcard is unstable. any other tipsto increase storage?
No. Put only apps on the internal memory and all other data on the SD card. Apps should never go on the SD card because of bandwidth limitations.
I corrupted my exFAT32 memory card while writing a single file of 4GB it is not recommended to use SD card unless you move app that you use very often.

Yeah funny things can happen. I never had a flash memory go corrupt on me unless it was misused in over 15 years and dozens of cards. A good card is very reliable.

Try writing a file above 4 GB possibly in .tar format you will see.
Increase Internal Storage .....Keep Dreaming

Never tried it. No reason to. However to load a SD card I transfer over 400gb, largest files being 2gb or so. Largest folder is 242gb. Copy/paste only.
Always do transfer with the card in the phone; don't remove the card to do them. Always format the card in the phone before using. Never share cards with different devices writing to them unless you format it first after the switch. Sometimes, most times you get away with it but it will lead to a corrupted card sooner or latter. Canon cams for one...
