Hi guys !
I just have reveived my new Galaxy S7 (SM-G935F) and I'm disappointed that it doesn't recognize any music, photos or videos from my SD card, it says that it needs to be on the phone to be read.
So my question is if there is any way or even a custom ROM to resolve that problem.
Thank you in advance. :good:

Should be able to read media from the MicroSD card
Copy all media from the card to your PC
Format the card to FAT32
Put it in the phone
Connect phone to PC USB
Copy everything back across
100% user error because it works fine on my s7. Try to format the sd card or try to eject it and put it in again.
The sd card are recognize and I can explore the file and open music, photos or videos BUT ONLY in the file explorer . In the music, video or in the gallery apps, music, video and photos that are on the SD card are not detect, they must be on the phone to be read on the music player or gallery apps .

There might be a file labeled "EMMC", though I'm pretty sure that's only an ICS thing
Sorry but i cant find a file named "EMMC" :/
what should i do now ?
I have the same issue, hopefully someone can help!
when you go into the SD card folder you'll notice a tab at the top that separates the folders if u hit it you will see SDCARD0 and SDCARD there will also be EXTSDCARD your stuff should be in one of the alternate folders

thanks, i actually found that yesterday!
I'm hoping someone else has encountered this problem and found a workaround...
I've downloaded Flixster, logged in and accessed my collection of films/tv series. When I got to download them it gives an option of download to phone or download to SD card. I selected SD card but it then says that this is not supported on my device. According to Flixster's website, all Android devices on 4.3 and above should have this facility working. Is there anything I can do to get them on my SD card?
Unless you have it installed as a system app it will not be able to write to SD card.
This is a KK feature where only system apps can write to sd card
Choose internal memory then copy it over using a system explorer, or do it via a card reader in your PC or root and apply the write to SD card fix

Download it to the phone, then transfer it to your PC via the USB cable, then to the SDcard using the USB cable

By transfer "it" do you mean the app and then transfer the app to my SD card via USB? Or do you mean the movie and then transfer that to my SD card via USB?
You have the app installed, it needs to be on the phone.
Download the movie to internal memory and then move that about.

You'll have to excuse me for being a noob, can't quite figure out how this works. I plugged my phone into my laptop, went into internal storage and cut the files from the phone and then put then pasted them onto the SD card. However, now when I go into Flixster it doesn't recognise them as being on the device and although they are listed in the Movies app, it can't play the files.
Can anyone help on this? My 16Gb internal storage is running really low, could really do with getting the Flixster files on my SD card if possible

Though I am not familiar with this Flixter thing, but ones you have downloaded and saved your movie in your SDCARD, why are you sticking to Flixter to play it? You can use your device's movie player or any other 3rd party software that supports the format to play the movie.

They are digital codes for DVDs/Blu Rays I have purchased and have to be redeemed via Flixster. Once redeemed you have the option of streaming it via wi-fi or downloading it to the device. If you download to the device it stays within the Flixster app (they ar enot playable by other media players even though they are mp4 files - guessing they must have some sort of Flixster encoding or DRM). There is an option on Flixster to download them to SD card but it won't let me do it on the Xperia as it doesn't have permission to write to the SD card.
When I connected my phone to my laptop, I found the files within the internal storage and manually pasted them into the SD card but after doing so, Flixster no longer recognised them as being on the device and other players were still unable to play the files.

I am sure you have already checked the settings in Flixster application, to see if it gives option to read & play contents from SDCARD?
There is some application to convert users apps to system apps. Not sure if even after converting this can be moved to SD or not.

Yeah unfortunately not, just an option where to download to and when you select SD card and then download, the Xperia won't let me.
Would I have to be rooted in order to convert to system apps?
I'm on a Xperia Z3 Tablet and hit the same problem. I've found a way around this which works. The thing you have to bear in mind using this is you cannot download to the SD card directly.
Close Flixster
Using File Commander (or similar) on the device, copy Android>data>net.flixster.android to the same location on the SD card.
Note: Using Windows or similar doesn't give you the same rights to create/modify some of the folders
Start Flixster and change the storage location to the SD card.
Restart Flixtser. You will now see the location under the devices saying On SD Card.
I remove the ones from the internal storage once satisfied.
When downloading a new addition, change the location back to Internal Storage, let it download and then move that across and obviously change the storage location afterwards.
It works for me well on a 32gb card and saves precious internal storage space.

Hi guys,
Big problem here.. My sister had a problem with her phone, and
she ask me to put custom rom on it. The phone is Samasung Galaxy S3 mini.
So I told her to move here pictures to external hard disk, and she did.
I preinstalled the phone and formated the SD card to be clean.
Few days after this she called me with panic in her voice and said
that some folders that she moved from the SD card to the external drive
are empty. And When she copied the pictures she got no error message.
Just did not checked them for sure, and now very important pics are gone.
Is there any way to recover this pictures guys?
Any ideas will be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Recuva is Best Sotware. I have also recovered images by Recuva.
Stellar Data Recovery
Stellar Data Recovery is the best software when i need recovery operation.

Don't use the phone! Just plug out the external SD out and put it into a computer. Next download Recuva and use it's deep scan feature to scan for deleted files. This may take a while (up to 5 hours) but it's the best possible solution.
Note that not all files can be restored.
My Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930V) has this 128 GB microSD card:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010Q57S62/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Whenever I try to transfer my photos from the SD card to my computer (Windows 10), I get a screen like this:

I can't transfer any photos to this computer. I tried the same thing on a Dell laptop running Windows 7, and it worked perfectly. Not sure what is going on; any ideas are most welcome.
Thanks!
Is the card encrypted ?

What happens if you right click > open with photo viewer on one of those files?
If you can view them on the phone, try using Google backup to backup to your google account and download them from there
Then format the MicroSD card and start fresh

It doesn't allow me to open the photos because it doesn't recognize the file. I will try your idea, thanks!
