Help with SD Card - General Questions and Answers

Hi.
I realy need help with my S3.
Thing is that when I root it and put a custom ROM, my SD Card starts acting strange: it only shows some files (like photos) on gallery while on pc or any explorer all files are shown. While playing music it often lags ant etc.
I used Paranoidandroid and omega ROMs.
Everything is ok when I unroot it...
I tried everything, formatted in different systems, but still nothing...
I have 32GB Class 10 micro SD
Help please with this problem.

Would be interested in finding out your solution... I also had sd card problems when I was rooting my friends At&t galaxy s3
I updated my drivers and everything on my computer but it was having trouble reading the sd card. Same thing in his mac. After finally getting it rooted the main problem was that it would read the s3 sd card and let me drag over a rom to flash but within the process of copying it it would close out. From the computer point of view it appeared to not be connected but from the phones view it was connected.
Clearly this is a different problem but whoever can help with the OP sd card may be able to shed light on the problem I had... my friend still has this problem when connecting his phone to add music etc.

32gb sd card

Hi guys im having an issue with a 32gb Kingston sd card, whats happening is that everytime i add files to my sd card from my computer it will show them to me that they are there. But once i put the sd card in my phone the new files i transfer wont appear :/. Ive formatted my sd card already like couple times and still does the same. Never did that to my 8gb card, and top of that when i transfer all my data from the 8gb to the 32 only half transferd and when back n fourth doing it folder per folder and just wouldnt show anything on the phone. Any suggestions, thank you

Going to take a guess and say you're on CM? If so I had problems with my 32GB too but on stock roms it works. I had to get a 16GB to use under CM. I'm not sure of the problem but there was my fix

Are you rebooting the phone after putting back the microsd? Sometimes that works.

As matter fact havent tried on Cm, im on MIUI right now. But im giving it one more try with the formatting see what happens if not will go to Eagle Blood see how that goes.
Yeah im since i noticed my sd card wouldnt show up unless would have to reboot. some files have been transfering but like awhile ago i d-loaded the files that needed for the game Modern combat 2 and after finished i rebooted or just quit playing and tried playing again and have to be redowloading the files over and over again since nothing stays on my sd card :/

That sucks, sounds like a bad sdcard. You still got the receipt?
I got my 32gb lexar class 10 with USB SD reader for just under 50 and its been issue free. Never liked Kingston products.

Tried formatting it using the phone itself? Miui is based off cm7 so that could be the issue as well.

Won't let me format it from phone since as soon as I put it in tells me "safely to remove card now" so kinda like automatically ejectects itself when I put it in. N got another problem :/ I bitlocked the sd card in my windows 7 laptop and as I was transferring files my wire was loose and we'll lost the connection and of course gave me files transfer error. But the problem now is that since I bitlocked the sd card won't let me get in it anymore, even though i put my password I put for the sd card. Just says something error with files and blah blah ;/. Can't even format or or anything anymore ;/

Found the solution for this problem with the bit locker > I mounted my sd card on my xp SP3 and formatted it and gave me the ize of 514mb i was like what. But i still did it and when i mounted it on my windows 7 i formatted again and this time showed me the 32gb size . So now its working properly.yeah buddy.

Moving from Weapon X to Miui rom my sdcard was detected fine but then after a couple of days of using Miui I wasn't able to open up sdcard when connected to my pc. It shown that usb is detected on my phone.
It only work when I restore back to WeaponX. I tried flashing different Miui roms, EagleBlood and PhoenixBlood. None detect my sdcard on pc except for WeaponX. I also tried to format my sdcard. Didn't work.
Anyone got any suggestion??
Try reinstalling ure usb drivers or not just restart the computer that would help with me. Or have you tried it with a card adapter?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
If you've tried it both with the USB cord and with an sd card reader, it might just be a bad sd card. This happened to me with a Samsung 16gb. I couldnt add or delete anything on it. Simply had to get a new sd card. Try out Lexar or PNY if you want a good one.

Media Server Problems!!

So i have been researching this problem but couldnt find a solution! Media Server is killing my battery! but most threads are either running a Custom Rom or using an external SD card! i have neither of them, so really confused what could be causing it! I did start S-voice a couple of days ago and i think that is the culprit for it! Any Solution guys?
Thanks

Media scanner sometimes gets tripped up on files in your SD card. Having a custom rom or external SD card is not related, as it scans both your internal and external card.
Are you rooted and have a custom recovery installed? If so, formatting your SD card should fix the problem.

[Q] Galaxy S3 not reading any SD cards?

My i9305T Galaxy S3 is not reading micro SD cards at all. I have tried using the cards in my computer, and they work fine. My phone, on booting has a notification that states "Preparing SD card; Checking for errors.", Then after a minute or two, has another notification stating that the SD card is safe to remove. I have tried with multiple SD cards, they all work in a PC, but not my phone.

so the phone shows nothing when browsing trough your files with a filemanager?
In that case Are you using the stock rom? some custom roms may have problems with the reading of big (64 GB) MicroSD cards.

Same problem
I'm close to getting a new phone. My s3 won't read any SD card I insert in. I tried formatting from exfat to NTFS and nothing changed. Also tried rebooting, switching roms, clearing my SD card, and pretty much anything else I can think of.
Any of you guys know a solution, or a potential solution?

[Q] pc says sd card needs reformatting,but installed apps still visible and useful

i successfully rooted my huawei g510-200 by following instruction here in xda and was proud considering my limited knowledge with computers but recently,as the high spirit was still in me, i made a mistake of backing up my apps using tb and saving them into the internal storage.. i decided to cut and paste the files in sd card and there the problem started.. first, when i tried to use my camera, a notification appeared saying sd card cannot be read and the image will be saved in the internal storage..second, when i took out my sd card and try to read it in my pc, pc said reformatting is needed and the scary part, when i put back my sd card into my phone, the screen flickered and all apps notify that they are unable to load. i restarted my phone and everything was back to normal but still, sd card is unreadable. please help. what should i do to revive my sd card? thanks in advance.
