Hi,
When ever is I want to transfer apps to my microsd, it seems to make them disappear or appear as if they went installed. The icon changes to a small pic of the sd with the name changed to its, what I presume is the file location. I would like to know does this mean that the sd card is corrupt. I usually do the transfer myself and may explain why some song cannot copy over succesfully from PC to Card
I have attempted using various versions of Andriod which have support the feature. Basically I want to find out how I can check the card really and see if it is at fault? Currently on Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, but have had S2 & S3 galaxy
Hi
It usually means that SD card is not ready. It could be due to slow speed , or slow processing of OS , due to a faulty card or due to inserting a wrong card. The icon will only change to normal only if it finds the necessary files in th SD card.
For any other queries ,post in general Q/A

Hello, I have a Jiayu G4S phone (1GB RAM/4GB ROM version). It has android 4.2.2 and by default it uses only external SD micro card for saving files (photos, music, ebboks, downloads from internet,...). Internal memory is used for installing apps, but that can be changed to external memory. I used to have SD micro card inserted and everthing worked ok. But then my SD card reader stopped recognizing SD card. I sent phone back for repair, but they did not repair it (although they say they did). I tried different cards in phone, but they don't work. Some are not recognized at all, some are recognized with message, that SD card is corrupted and I should try formatting. When I try formatting, nothing happens. I tried MTK Eingineer Mode - SD card test...but it says there is no card in phone. Is there anything else I could do to fix that myself?
Because if I send it back again I will have to be without phone for another month or two and I can't do that...
I was also thinking - is there a possibility I could make my phone save files to internal memory instead of external SD card?

Hey Guys, I wonder if anyone could help me out.
Yesterday I rooted my phone, and used TWRP, after a bit of finess I finally got everything working. Except when I try to use the camera I get the Error "Unable to save file to SD card due to insufficient file permissions."
Only thing is, I do not have an SD card in the phone.
For some reason it is trying to save files to an SD card when there is none inserted.
Any idea what I might do to fix this?
EDIT: I just bought an SD card and it could save to it. Still wont save to phone storage, but I am not worried. Mods feel free to lock this thread as the issue is resolved.

Hello everyone,
I have a galaxy note 2 currently with DN4_v2.1_by_E-Team and clockwork recovery.
Today I created a new folder in my SD and when the folder was created it filled with some files that had weird symbols for names . Details of the folder said that its size was 145 GB , my SD is 16 GB.
So I tried to delete the folder but could not at the beginning , finally I did it. Then I noticed an app with the same symbols and some of my apps that where in the SD would not open.
I deleted the app and then all my apps that where in SD would not load. I did a wipe, factory reset and tried to format the SD card . The SD card was locked I could not delete or write anything. I tried flashing the rom again with the same SD card (probably a bad idea) but I could not write in the SD. I tried to format the SD with an adapter but it says that windows couldnt complete the format, I run Windows 10 btw. I checked the adapters write protection and tried a couple of applications , I tried diskpart from the windows cmd and scanned with 2 different antiviruses. I am out of ideas .
Any suggestions ? or should I throw the SD card away and go buy a new one ?

Sd card specs:

Hi! I'm having a weird problem on my sdcard. When I start copying an mp3 file to the sdcard its shows the progress and when completes there are many possible things that could happen.
Sometimes the mp3 file its unplayable with 0kbps 0hz whitout tags (but the file is there, it isnt hidden).
Some files are copied wrong, and the song cuts unexpectedly when i'm playing it.
And sometimes when i go to the folder on my sdcard it says, "empty folder".
The folders I want to copy to sd from the computer sometimes shows that are empty too..
note: I use aimp3 to check if the song is playable from the sdcard.
I tried formating the card with a lot of programs but it keeps doing the same stuff..
Please help me!!

Hello guys! I recently bought a gionee P5W,the phone is really good looking and a fast tasker. However I am facing a problem the external sd card(16gb) is being shown as sdcard0 however it should be sdcard1 also all the system files from camera images,Bluetooth files to apps downloaded from third-party appstore everything is being stored in this external sd card also there are certain apps which are caches & data in both internal & external storage at this rate my external sd card run out of space I use that card in multiple devices so I can't afford that also in case I remove it some stop working. When I checked in settings and the phone's bundled file explorer there the external sd card was shown as external storage but can't find any way to correct this. Also this all started after I removed external sd while the phone was running, and when I put it back error was shown "sd card damaged
Please format to use" but I continued without formating I think this info will useful to ones who may try to solve problem . I will tell about my phone, its a gionee P5W with 1gb ram, 1.3ghz quad-core arm 7, and android lollipop
So I want to stop & want that card to be shown as sdcard 1 like all other android devices and store data in its internal storage. Please If anyone can help, please help me I will highly gratefull to you.
