[Q] 1.2 gig of memory missing - General Topics

hi all,
i have a problem with my galaxy s4 mini, yesterday i copied a movie from my pc to my phone, it was 1.2 gig big and after i copied it there was no movie to be found in the folder where i put it in.
i got a message that my memory was full, so im missing 1.2 gig of my internal memory, how can i fix this?
probebly it will be solved by going back to factory setting but thats a last resort for me, im hoping sombody knows a solution whitout a hard reset.

Silly suggestion, but have you rebooted the phone? Sometimes the file indexers crash (or get disabled) and the files are there but won't show up.
Also, tried another file manager?

You can, if you format your phone

If you copied the file via MTP from your computer, it sometimes fails to refresh the media index.
Try to look at the copy destination with an app from your phone, i.e. a file explorer that does not hide hidden or temp files. It possible that the file is there and you can manually delete it.

Wizard as storage device

Guys I saw somewhere on the forum or somewhere online that the wizard can be used like a removable drive but i lost the link. I tried searching the forums, but to no avail, can someone point me in the right direction once again?
Thanks

HI
Yes... Simple..

It doesnt work, it says something about not being able to find the indicated storage card. How do i use this with my mini sd inside my G3 wizard? with WM6 "the real thing" flashed to it,
Its not working for me either... I copied the files from the compressed folder and into the root of my mini SD card and with the default settings I clicked "Activate" and I got the following error: "can't open the selected card/disk device". What am I missing?
try other version of wm5storage then... one of them must work.
and make SR after install to be sure, if its not working...
cannot check, but theres version, that works...1.73 works, i think:

Are you copying WM5torage to your SD Card? Try and copy into My Device\Prgram Files\WM5torage and then try and activate it... If I'm not mistaken access to the SD card is lost on the Wizard if you enable WM5torage.. Thus having the application installed on the SD card cannot grant access to the SD Card because WM5torage itself (or perhaps other apps) are currently hogging access to the SDCard

as far, i remember it MUST work,...anyway...
You've got both the WM5torage.exe AND the DLL and you installed from CAB and restarted as it demanded right?
yes I have both the .exe and .dll but I don't have a cab to install it and I did not restart.

Install it on the device. Not the storage card.
Like what was said by TipEx "Try and copy into My Device\Prgram Files\WM5torage and then try and activate it..."
i don't have cab to install it, i just copy it from the zip file to my device but it still doesnt work. do i start this before i connect a usb cable or while its connected?
Both order should not have problem.
However despite I can run wm5torage and connect to desktop successfully (Built into WM6 Underground), the connection is very slow (<20kb/s) and unstable (displaying I/O error while copying), I don't know what the problem is.

Simplest thing, put it in the PC, copy all data and then format the card as FAT
Or then more details
- What's the ROM u using (at the moment)
- What's the app that does not see it?

well i used alllll the jell bean roms pretty much. and currently im using paranoid android. and my various music apps like the play music and th cm9/10 music app the gallery. nothing finds my sd card. could it be because its called sdcard1 and sd card1?? instead on internal or external.(the names when i use astro)
Connect the phone to your computer, make sure you have show hidden files, go to the folders with your stuff and delete .nomedia files.
so i did that and then i went into my gallerey and the two photos that were showing up is now gone
Now restart your device

All those ROM u are using the sd card is no in emmc folder, you have to go out of there to / (nothing) then you will see sdcard folder.
Try to update the pass in your programs that you need to use.

[Q] External MicroSD card problems

I just found I have an issue copying files from my PC to my SGS3. The error I get is " Device stopped responding or is disconnected" (on my pc). It worked days ago, and it worked on the current ROM I'm using. I can't think of anything else I could have done to mess it up. This happens when trying to copy anything to the Ext card or internal storage. Here's the kicker: now I can copy small files, but big zip files are a no go. Before I couldn't copy anything. All I did was reboot phone and PC, and looked into phone with Root Explorer, no changes.
I can copy files FROM the phone to PC but not to the phone from PC. How could this change literally overnight?? I did find a way to add Google Wallet to the phone. Could that have possibly been it?? Flashing a new ROM right now, gonna see if it helps.
New ROM didn't help. Still same issue.
*Update* Next day, I tried once again just for fun. And now it works fine! I did nothing to correct it. I did however reflash the ROM that the problem first arose. But I still don't get how that's even related to the ext sdcard. And how did it fix itself??? Would still like to know why it happened!

I had this EXACT same problem a few weeks ago. I'm not saying this is the case for you, but I found out that when I tried to batch transfer certain files, one of the files was corrupt. I eliminated whatever the culprit file was and was able to transfer. The strange thing is, it only happened when I tried transferring from internal to external as well, as if something in the transfer corrupted one of my files. So I started transferring files one by one, and the problem seems to be temporarily eliminated. Check to see if the zip file became corrupted in some way. Hope this helps.

I can transfer from ext to internal. I just can't transfer anything larger than a few MB. The zip files I'm trying are ROM zips so they are very large. Can't find anyone with this exact issue. I just flashed a new ROM, before that I formatted my sdcard. No idea what's wrong. Thanks for the reply though!

No problem at all. Do you think it's possible that the format you formatted the sdcard in may possibly be causing the issue? I've heard cases that incorrect formatting can block file transfers if over so many MBs, GBs, etc.

I had this exact problem as well. After a lot of trial and error, I gave up on the native MTP file transfer method, and went with ADB instead.
I use a very nicely done GUI on top of ADB to do all my file transferring called QtADB. Just install the Android SDK first, and then the GUI.

I'm going to try and find the adapter that came with the micro card. I've read where some people having this issue have to use the adapter to plug into the PC directly to copy files. What I don't get is how it just happened all of a sudden. It was working just a few days ago, I loaded a bunch of music no problem as well as ROMs to flash. Very weird. It has to be a setting somewhere lol.

Just for grins, I hooked my phone up again to see by chance if it would work. Guess what? It works WTF?????? That's the craziest thing. I am back on the original ROM I had installed when the problem arose. But I just don't see how that's possible. UGGGGHHH

Problem rooting

I'm trying to root and I'm following the guide posted for the BLK3 firmware (I'm on stock OTA Jellybean); I have two problems and am hoping someone can help: the first is that I don't know which folder is my SD card. Is it the SCH-I535 folder that appears when I plug in my phone that says "phone storage" and has several folders like: "DCIM, Alarms, etc," or is it the folder titled: "CD: G" that has a couple of Verizon apps on it? Also, when I tried to drag the SuperSU file and the Bootloader file into the SCH folder it wouldn't allow that--there was a black circle that popped up over the folder. I have USB debugging checked, btw. Of course, I also have MTP checked. Could that be a problem? If so, how do I uncheck it? It won't allow me to.
If you cant transfer the file to your phone just browse to the post on ur phone and download via your phone. Im to lazy to plug my phone into my computer personally so I just use dropbox to transfer anything I want to my phone, or airdroid if its a bigger file.
If I download them will they save to internal or external? That's my problem

So how do I get it into external? I don't see SD card 1 with file explorer (I can only see 0). Don't you need Root to see the other areas of the phone with root explorer? Also, I'm trying to do the root process, but I get stuck at the "Flash custom recovery" step. I've done it three times now, but no matter how many times I flash it (Odin says recovery imagine nand write start, RQT_Closem RES_OK, etc," and once I go back into Odin mode I don't see the custom recovery. :l

I tried going to mnt > extSdcard > move file and it wouldn't allow that. .it's effectively locked down. >.< Should I try something other than ES file explorer?
Turns out it didn't have an SD card in. So I just put the one from my Rezound in--we should be good now. O:
It says "custom binary download: 4 counts;" which I know is because I've attempted to flash my custom recovery four times--but every time I reboot after doing that it still gives me the Samsung recovery. What to do?

Transfer files to and from computer

I cant get it to work at all. It just hangs every ****ing time I try to grab anything off of it or put anything on it. Anyone have any ideas or similar experiences? It's honestly infuriating. I hate MTP so much.

Don't have the same experience yet I have seen issues related to one machine that I could not replicate on another. That being said if you haven't already tried to connect using a different cable.. or to an entirely different pc altogether, then that would be a good place to start.

Internal storage, it also likes to crash windows explorer if I try to make new folder or rename a folder.

Weird, internal storage works fine for me with MTP, but anything with the SD card freezes. I have no clue what causes it..besides MTP blows.
