all my pictures are gone from my sd card right after I disconnected the usb from the g-tablet..no items were found..I then took out the sd card from the tablet and re inserted it and no pixs..why did these happen?I also have the vegan installed on this device..what could it be?any help?thanks..
I havent seen this problem with pics but, the safest thing to do is put an empty file named ".nomedia" in whatever folder you store stuff on sdcard2 or dont put them on sdcard2
HI..so how would I have to do that connect the gtablet to the pc and just transfer all the pixs to the sd2?

The ".nomedia" file tells the tab that there is no media in that directory so it doesnt look. There is a bug when the tab is trying to scan for media it deletes it for some reason. This only happens on the external sdcard. They seem to be safe on the internal sdcard.

All of the sudden, all the files on my SD card went missing! I was transferring music and video files to the device over USB (as a storage card, per the custom ROM USB/PC feature) and after it was done, it showed my card as blank.
I took the card out of the phone (XV6900) and put it into my SD adapter and into my computer. The 4GB card shows that 1.8GB are in use when I go to properties, however, there are no files at all in the root of the drive! Like they are invisible! (Yes, I have Windows set to show all hidden and system files, so that is not the problem)
How do I get my files to reappear? It looks like they are not actually deleted! i don't get why this happened all of the sudden
you can try an undelete program and check the sdcard while in the reader
undelete programs can handle sdreaders just like they can hd's

Did that already...it found a ton of stuff that used to be on there, but not the current files.
had the same thing happen to me once in awhile
where the sdcard just get corrupt which is why I keep
an raw copy of it on my computer in case I need to copy it back

I'm using the same 4GB card as my old phones. this never happened on my Titan or TouchPro, each of which I have for a year or so. I have had a Vogue for 1 week and it has happened twice! does the XV6900 wipe the card periodically or when performing certain actions? even on a ROM update/flash it should touch the SD card when running from the RUU package in windows
Can't access the SD card from the PC....
I'm using MS File Explorer on the PC and am connected by USB cable, and can see folders that appear to be the data on the internal memory of Gtab, but don't see anything for the external SD card.
Can you get to your external SD card from your PC?? Any idea how I can get it to show up? Want to be able to transfer files, but am currently having to keep pulling it out of the Gtab and put it into the SD card slot on the laptop to get access.
I'm running Vegan b3. Thanks in advance!!
Hi,
If you share your pc drive, you can use ES File Explorer, by selecting LAN instead of local.

Fyi, I just tested this (network sharing) and was able to access shares on a Win7 machine and on a WinXP machine. For the latter, I had to use the "guest" user, with no password.

I think he wants to do it the other way around; access the external sdcard from the PC.
One of the glaring goofs by the OEM devs and the firmware. If a microsd is in the slot, we should see two logical drives when the device is mounted.
Incredible, Galaxy S and Tab versions with internal space shows two drives (as they should). Another issue with the G is the microsd unmount function is problematic- at best.
I transferred a program called star chart from phone to SD card and when i hook up to PC I cant locate the program. Anyone know if it goes into a certain folder when transferring it or something?
not too sure
on your pc
go into your removeable disc
type in the name of the file your looking for into the search box in the removable disk window.
it should pop up and then your can go backwards from there to find its exact location.
yea that was the first thing i attempted to do which is why i thought it was odd i couldnt find it.
When you say transferred to SD Card. How did you do this ? Do you have a sd_ext partition on the SD Card ?
If you just want a copy of it, just copy it with a File Manager of some description, I use Root Manager, to a known location on the SDcard.
so i took out my memory card and put it in a new card reader, the card reader did something funny and all files & folders disappeared and there was just one 0kb file named USB&somegarbage. I put the card back in the phone and it surely created the DCIM folders again etc.
I then connected it to icare data recovery and i am able to see that all the files are still there with most of them not corrupted but the folder names are gone,I wondering if there is a way for me to recover the original file structure back? any one?
Thanks in advance.

In my opinion, I would just recover everything and just format that card. When you reinsert the card, the phone should restore default folders back and just place your data in the respective folders. I don't think there is anything you really need to add new folders for, other than the default unless you had a specific folder arrangement for photos or something like that.
Format the card to NTFS not FAT.
Do it either on your PC or Mac.
But you must install a NTFS app on the android, otherwise the device will not recognise the card.
You can format the card to NTFS using the app too.
The app will auto mount the card when the device is turned on.
I've found this method more stable than having the card in FAT mode.
I'm surprised Samsung haven't sorted this out yet!

I've installed this rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-android-nougat-7-0-beta-3-zpkk-odex-t3507499
Everything goes fine. Plug in my USB, phone is detected, SD is detected. Phone gives me the options it should for using the USB connection.
I go to Windows Explorer, open a window for the phone's SD card and one for the directory I wish to move files from...drag and drop...windows error sound with no files being moved and no error message.
Same thing with cut and paste. Yet, I can manipulate files on the SD Card with Windows Explorer, including creating directories. I've disabled AV and all other culprits I can imagine.
Does anyone have advice? Using SendAnywhere is ok, but I prefer the direct USB connection for moving large files.
