Gpad G10 upgraded (rooted)
I made a subdirectory /sdcard/media/video on my Windows PC and copied an AVI file to that folder (all this via physical SD-Card-Reader)
Then I plugged the SD card back into my G10+ and browsed there via ASTRA. Strangely .. the folder is empty.
Putting the SD card back into my PC the folder is emty there too.
BUT .. in the folder "LOST.DIR" I find a file called "65539" with the exact same file size of the original AVI file.
I tried again .. but this time I turned the G10+ off before taking out the SD and putting it back in:
avi to /media/movie .. now the avi ist there and I can play it
20 music folders to /media/music .. the first three folders keep their files - the other ones are empty on the gpad - all missing tracks are in LOST.DIR with changed names.
I now even reformatted my SD card (not quick format .. took me the whole day) .. and it finished without errors. Back in the G10+ again half the audio files I put on the SD are gone (in LOST.DIR with changed names).
I'm going crazy .. please help if you can.
Woah .. my SD card seems to be buggy .. I will return it asap and get another from a different vendor.
If anyone can recommend a well working brand .. you are certainly welcome to do so.
Hello, i just purchased a xoom from a friend ,i am new to the tablet , and i know its been out for over a year now.
from what ive been reading on its release day the external micro SD slot wasnt working, then it got fix in time .
my xoom is Rooted running the folowing,
CynogenMOD V.9 -NAPSHOT- wingray
which i believe is the latest ROM of its kind .
somehow i still cant get the SD slot to work or appear using a file manager app.
Can anyone help please ?
much appreciate it
Have you tried unmounting and remounting the sd card a couple times through settings>storage? Are you sure the sd card is formatted? I have had trouble with astro file manager recognizing ext sd card, well actually it never has, so i just usedsdcardxd if I need to move something to and from.

well the same SD card i put in there i also would use on my phone (Galaxy Note) and all my movies and music shows up perfectly, so i doubt it has to do with formating it . ?? idk ..?
also when i go to Setting>Storage what i see is
Internal Storage total space(28GB) then the break down on how its being distributed and SD card with its total space (14GB) with 5GB available , which idk what that is if i really dont have anything inserted there..and it gives me the option to unmount ..
am i looking at all this wrong ? my music wont show on Play Music*
i'll try another file manager and see what happens .
I would try unmounting it and remounting through settings storage, maybe reboot it and first thing you do is that.... when I first rooted and rommed my xoom, I had a couple goofy things like that happen with reading my sd card( I am on EOS), even had it show that I had four copies of the same song every song, which I didn't, persistently unmounting remounting, and rebooting seemed to fix it, and haven't had issues since... as for file managers, if you find one that looks at your external sd card, let me know, I haven't found any yet, but havent looked that hard... again I just use sdcardxd
after putting in the memory card, its a good idea to reboot. It should show up.

a simple unmount and mount, just took my frustration away ! freaking weird, i guess im used to where on my phone it simply does a media scan when it know a microSD was inserted .
Play Music naturally recognized all my music now
Dice Player Ad - i simply just changed the directory and found my movies.

Your not gonna get everything like ICS as the system setup was changed in JB and each OEM makes changes to this as well.

Hi, some games don't like being moved on to SD as I found in my experience (I don't know why) but for the WhatsApp folder you can move the app to your SD card by using Link2SD from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326
I did used link to SD to move WhatsApp and this message appeared :
And folder mount didn't work for me at all , I tried several games but no luck.
