[Q] SD Card... - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All -
I am so confused, I have an SD Card in my Samsung Galaxy S3 that shows a total of 58.80mb, 58.77mb of that is showing as space available...
However, whenever I go to save something to the sd card I get a message that the SD card is getting full or there is not enough room on the card...
What gives... I cannot seem to get around this issue at all...
I appreciate any help...
Thanks,
Robbie

Are you sure its mb? If its really mb, then the message is probably related to the fact that you only have 58mb left Thats not much for today's storage capabilities.
Btw, could you report your own thread to be moved to q&a, please? It does not belong into general.

SD Card is internal memory on the S3, it's Ext SD you want.

[Q] internal memory change

hey peeps just wondering if anyone has or knows if it would be possible to change the internal sd card? im assuming the ram is soldered in and is linked in some way to the phone and wont be able to change but what about the internal sd?
Not possible... Its not an sd card and also soldered in.
Just partition your sd to add a 1GB primary ext2 partition and then install link2sd. Means you can move any allocation and its data to sd card. You must be rooted though! Hope this helps!

thanks for the reply mate. u sure its not a sd card? i could of swore most of the smart phones which have internal memory is a micro sdhc card. in this and the galaxy s it has a lil plastic bit where it is behind? i just thought with a class 10 8gb or something it would make the phone quicker and obviously not have to worry about moving things to external sd
I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but here's some theory: the phone got 2 storages: the internal storage of 1gb flash which is soldered and cannot be changed and the sd card for data/music/photo/whatever to store on. This micro sdhc card can be changed. Class 4-6 is okay and every micro sdhc card should work... hope i answered your question

is the sd card you talking about the external one? i thought there was a internal sd card which you would have to take the phone apart to get to. thats the one i was thinking of changing. i know people have done it with the dell streak

[ANSWERED] Does the photon also have a MicroSD card slot??

Ok i know theres a sim card slot, and 16gb of internal storage but im looking to see if there is a external slot for a Micro SD. I saw a post somewhere saying something about a MicroSD and another card possibly. but on the major sites like sprint. It only says 16 internal. nothing about external of having it or not.
Yes im aware of it being a stupid question but I see a site saying it does but then every other site doesnt even mention it.
It has an microSD card slot under the battery door. No need to remove the battery to extract the card.

Issues with my SD card

Hello all,
I've bought 8GB SD card and used it on my mini pro, I faced some issues like:
1. Alot of programs suddenly crash
2. Wireless connection gets dissconeccted automaticlly
3. The whole Android software get crashed and the screen goes into black, then this can't be solved if I didn't remove battary and reinsert it.
I Tried to check the SD card for bad sectors and problems but there were nothing.
Any Solution?
NOTE: I have another SD card (2GB) and it dosen't make any problem when in use.
If you remove the card the problems persist?

remove your sd card, run your phone and see if errors still occur
I have another SD card (2GB) and I am using it now without any problem
It doesn't make sense, but you can always sell it cheap to someone that can make a good use to it.. #short term solution..

This doesn't make sense.
SDcard has nothing, that could affect wireless connections at all.
SDcard has nothing, that could affect whole Android firmware. Neither should it make apps crash.
What manufacturer's SDcard did you buy?

MAYBE a problem with file system, connect it to pc, with a card reader or put phone in mass storage and format it with FAT32 system.. thats what my 8gb card has..

It's already in FAT32 file system
It happen to once with my cheap 4gb card when i paired with nokia n82.. Till now i don't know why the phone keep refusing to recognize the card. The irony is, the "rejected card" works normally on my current phone "sk17". it left me scratching my head.
If you can return it, return it. If its not worth it, just get a new one. Basically, you have done everything on you end, so its definitely the card's fault.

Check for SD card class,its written on SD card.If its less than Class 6 then you should buy SD card with class 6 or higher.
Second you should not place large files like multiple blueray pictures or multiple songs in single folder.And last you can speed up SD Card read,write speed by using SD booster of Root tool box pro app to make your SD card faster.
I thing class is not so important. I now using few year old 16 gb card class 2 without any problem
Sent from my ST15i using XDA
Weird but I have no reason not to believe you.At least you know that the problem is the card,so either return it and get a new one or buy a 16Gb instead.They re already pretty cheap! Opt for a class 6+!

Why should I avoid putting multiple songs in one folder? I have put like that and my sd works fine eh??
and the other thing if you had apps in the other sd which was 2gb and u put the 8gb one without transferring them to the 8gb card the apps should not work. Android system failure sould be a problem of memory management. Check whether you had filled ur card.
and yea I think the best solution for u if u have tried every thing, return the card

Games data not moving to SD card

Hi guys, I'm using Samsung Galaxy S3 16gb Rooted and I've downloaded few games and I got problem of memory low. So I've bought a 32gb sd card and I was trying to move them to SD card but they keep staying in my phone memory.
Please can anyone help me out?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Hi
for what I know, I think the games/apps are supposed to stay in phone memory, its not "possible" to move them to sd card. That said, I believe that there is some workaround, but I dont know myself to do it.
I guess there will be some answers from the people here that is more experienced than me
