Micro SD card displaying less space - General Questions and Answers

Hey, I recently added the supernexus rom to my galaxy s3 however when it formatted my 62gb micro SD I now only have about 26gb... Considerably less!
I downloaded sdcard formatter 4 and had no luck (or don't know how to use it correctly) and I have downloaded a partition manager however couldn't see that it had been split into different partitions.
Now I turn to this forum for help. Anyone got any ideas or solutions?

Skyrocket detects external 32gb microsd card, but won't be read by...

I just recently purchased a 32gb class 10 micro sd card for my skyrocket, and it works perfectly fine.
The only issue i have is that the microsd card won't be read unless i use a file manager such as astro.. Apps like gallery or mxplayer won't read the microsd card.
This didn't happen with the 16gb class 4 micro sd card, so what is happening?
Anyway to fix this issue?
Thanks

Are you running any kind of custom ROM I would try formatting via PC with a different format if that fail go back to stock and see if it does the same thing if it does maybe something wrong with SD coding don't see any reason it would partially work

I Will try this, but if the sd cards coding was wrong wouldn't it just not show up at all on the phone?

Interesting..
Btw when i ran media scan it says sd card is "usb storage". Not "external sd".... Could this be the reason?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Mini Tools Partition Wizard is the program to use if you are on windows. Use it to format the card to fat32 primary. If that doesn't do it replace the card.

Is there anyway to make the paths so the phone can determine its correct location?
Could it be the difference in size of the card itself too?

Fat32 primary cant even be seen on the phone....
When I reformat back with android, it works fine, other than the issue of not showing the files in apps, unless using a file manager.
After formatting you are rebooting right?

Yes, i am rebooting.
Only issue is that to view images in apps like gallery or mxplayer, the folder has to be on the root of the sdcard. Before i had a group of folders in one, and now it won't let me do this.
Am i possibly naming folders wrong?

Expanding USB Storage? I don't know how, but if you say swap SD Card with external SD Card, i know how (maybe).
Try using Topdroid's vold.fstab tweak, maybe that will work. If you are on CM10, i can give the app that always work.
Its okay now, cm9 has an option to basically set the ext SD as USB storage

Certain basics
You don't have cwm in a Rom zip
/data.. internal memory
/system... system memory.. this is where your Rom is
/boot... kernel is here
/recovery... independent of all other partitions and can be flashed either in Android using flash image binary or fastboot..
Google what other recoveries you have for your phone.. it should be in index /sticky for your phone in your forum thread.

if can't solve by clean flashing, it is high possibility that chip is faulty, this is hardware issue.

you have answer ur own question..lol
think..memory card own do not supply own power to operate. the phone does. why your memory card broken? the phone brack it. why still the card be use in normal, thats complicated. intermediate current or voltage supply to the card may cause this. same principal as some phone can oc 1.3ghz some can't.
