Hi. im new owner of Samsung galaxy S3. i bought an external card(EXTsdcard) Sandisk in order to transfer files from main memory to external. however when i try to copy-paste a file(like a photo or mp3) with a file manager(es explorer, original samsung file manager cannot recognise ExtSDcard) i saw this message "android open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)"
i went to settings menu->storage->mount sd card select it and i saw this message "preparing SD card"- "Blank SD card"
i dont know if that problem comes from phone or sd card. any help??

i format the sd and galaxy did not recognised it again, but i think the card is problematic(sandisk) and not the phone.
does anyone has the necessary drivers for samsung galaxy s3?
Format it in the phone settings menu. If not working, use h2testw.exe in windows to test using a card reader.
Drivers are in kies although no use to you

Guys,
I have taken sd card from my nokia e72 and added to samsung galaxy s2 but i am not able to see the card
my files\external card
can anyone give me description on it?
First check Settings > Storage, and check what the top most 4 lines say. Does it state anything about 'SD-card'? Can you select 'format SD-card'?
Do you have the folder 'external_sd' on your internal storage?
Do you mean you can't see it on your phone, or you can't see it on your pc? If you mean through your pc when browsing internal storage: you can't see your external sd by clicking on 'external_sd'. You have to select the other storage that's available in your browser.
Anyways, just reformat the card if nothing helped. Format it as FAT32, then your phone will recognize it.
i have formatted the microsdhc(class 4) card as FAT32 system and then inserted into mobile...
Settings\Storage does not show sd card
and also in task manager for sd card it shows 0.0 bytes
please i need help....
Hello,
I did bought orginal Samsung mincro SD card 32gb class 10. I did put inside to the phone and first what i did after phone did show me space 29gb i did format it from phone options in settings of storage. After format i did reboot my phone just in case. Now i did plug in phone to my pc and all do work fine. My pc see Internal and external storage on my phone. After when i did copy files to my external memory of my phone and do unplug micro usb i cant see my external sd card on my phone. In apps like winamp/RockPlayer/BSPlayer/ES File Explorer...all what i can see is only sdcrad which is internal memory. I cant see external memory at all.
Best thing is when i do put movie anywhere on external sd card by usb/pc and run build in samsung app "Video Player" its see video form external sd! I dont know whats going on and i did have S2/Dell Streak/Note and never had problem like this before.
Any help would be nice.

Thank you for link but i dont need data transfer. My problem si why i cant see external sd card in any of apps. When i do swich on winamp there is music from external sd card, when i do swich on build in video player i do see videos form external sd card but there is no way i can explore external sd card using any of explore apps or any other app where you can search files by folders. There is no Root folder or mnt.
Oki small update. I just did give a go to one more app "Root browser lite" and i can see all folders and sys files. Looks like problem is with moust of apps which can't handle way of G3 works with external sd card. I'm right?

Yes you're right. The s3 and other devices that have like 16/32 GB internal memory uses part of it for system and the rest is mounted as "sdcard"when infact it's internal memory. In addition to this sdcard there's the real sdcard which is mounted as external-sdcard. Many apps are programmed to look for only sdcard and not ext-sdcard. For such programs creating a symlink using the above tool that I posted will help it "see" contents/folders of the ext-sdcard.
As you mentioned some programs can and some can't browse/see ext-sdcard - if it's absolutely necessary, creating a symlink is the only option I can think of.
When I boot it to CWM from my AT&T galexy S3, I see the following
reboot system now
install zip from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wide cache partition
backup and restore
mounts and storage
advanced
But for some reason I can't find my external SD card, I can see it only from root explorer, the path is
/mnt/extSdCard
So if I save a zip file in that folder, and boot it up through CWM, there is no way can locate that /mnt path. Is there something wrong with my phone ? Is there something I need to install in order to see that path ?
I got no problem with my Galaxy note, I can see that but not with this S3.
Also if I connect the phone using a USB cable, it shows "mtp application" on the menu instead of connect to USB. My other phone will show me its own external SD directory. But with mtp application, I only see "Card and phone" folder.
please help.
Did you try going into Mounts and Storage, then Mount Ext SD Card?
I would recommend getting a Micro Sd adaptor to plug into your laptop/computer. Makes it a lot easier

When I go into "Install from SD Card" the bottom option above "go back" is to install a zip from the external SD card. This is on a T-Mobile one, but if I'm not mistaken aren't we all running the same recovery?
I did try that but it makes no difference.

Is your sdcard formatted exFat or Fat32? Epic CM's v4 recovery couldn't see my 64 gb class 10 SanDisk until I formatted it Fat32.
Hummmm, I can't recall but it was working fine with my Galaxy Note, I pulled it out from that phone and put in the S3. Just wondering why it is not working. Do I have to format it to Fat32 again?

The Note recovery you were using may have supported exfat, whereas the recovery we use now for our GS3's does not (EPIC CM posted in their blog that they would not support exfat). I copied the contents of my sdcard card to my Mac, ran disk utility and formatted it Fat32, and recovery recognizes it just fine.
Dear friends,
My Mobile is Galaxy S2 GT-I9100
Android Version 4.1.2
Baseband Version I9100XXLS6
Rooted with PhilZ-cwm6=XXLSJ-OXX-3.73-signed
I have the following very serious problem.
After starting, for a few minutes every thing works Ok.
Suddenly a lot of applications does not work.
Example:
Gallery gives the following Message
"Not enough Space........"Sygic gives the following Message
"SD card is locked
My external SD Card is 32 GB and used to work perfectly.
I have
Formated the SD
Unmound and mound.
I thing that the problem comes from a directory in the SDcard0 with the name clockworkmod.
The backup has created a directory with the name μ012-1~1.4 5.6 GB
The files in this directory have names with special characters and the UID is blank.
I CAN NOT DELETE THIS DIRECTORY OR THE FILES IN IT.
I tried to delete these Backups from recovery mode through the option
DELETE BACKUP FROM INTERNAL STORAGE BUT :crying::crying:
Is there any advice?
Does any body knows if the problem comes from what I describe (Clockworkmod internal storage backup)?
Put sdcard to cardreader and format or delete that cwm files in pc.

Thanks for the advice.
But the files are on the SDcard0 which is the phone internal card.
Not the ExtCard which is the USB card.
Hello, I have a problem on my galaxy note II GT-N7100, running Paranoid Android 4.0 beta, android 4.4.1
Ever since I've upgraded to KitKat, some of my apps don't detect data on external micro SD card. Most noticeably quick office, the bards tale. As most of my files are stored on micro SD this is very annoying. I can access those files using es file explorer but it would be better if apps could detect them as well. My external SD card pathway should be mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 but that's empty and I get invalid file path error.
I can access the ext sd by storage/sdcard01 though.
I've tried to format my ext SD, edit platform.xls etc but no solution. So any clue how to make quockoffice access documents on external micro sd?

First step reset data all the data
Then shut down and remove your sd card
Then turn on your mobile
?
?
Turn off your mobile and insert your sd card and turn on
Okkk
Tried it. It's the same, quickoffice still doesn't show the option to read files from external storage.
Is there a reason you're not asking in the Galaxy Note forum?
