My pics & videos seem to have dissapeared from my SD card but it is still show it in the memory size,is there a way to recover the lost files?
Thanks.
if you have a sdcard reader for your pc you can use the same undelete programs that you can use on harddisks on the sd card
Which programs are these?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a Dane Elec 512mb mini SD card. I use it to store music on my Mini XDA s and do this by syncing it with media player on my desktop pc.
I noticed that even when i delete all the music off the card it still says on the device and in windows media player that there is still 5.37mb in use?
This is weird as the card 'appears' to be completely empty. Anyone else had this or know why?
I just noticed on the 'Sync' panel in media player there is a button at the top right that says "Format storage media".
Is this a safe way to wipe 'everything' from my SD card without messing anything up? (Its just i have read horror stories on here of people formatting their SDs and them losing memory afterwards).
You can format you SD card no probs, I've done it on several devices. You could do it with a card reader or by using a prgramme like Wintersoft Storage tools which also lets you analyze and defragment the card too. Typically you can reclaim a little bit of space this way too.
Howdy guys,
I was looking for the way how to mount ext4 partition micro sd card, because I want to copy bigger than 4GB size of HD mkv movie file to my Tab. I got tired to bring a bulky laptop to copy a file from my computer, connect it to TV, and bring it back to laptop desk after watching a movie. If I can do the same thing on my small and light GTP instead of a bulky laptop, it would make my life easier.
So, I tried it, then failed! As you know, microSD card format supports ONLY fat32 format, so you can't copy a file bigger than 4 GB. HD mkv movie file is usually 4.5 ~ 15GB.
What can we do? The answer is pretty simple. Format microSD card as EXT4 or NTFS and mount it on the tab! EXT4 or NTFS format supports bigger than 4GB file. This sounds pretty easy, but it took me 3 days to google it, and failed it.
I can't make this without your help, bydo! Thanks again!
The process is simple and easy.
1. Root your tab, and install "BUSYBOX" and "Drive Mount" app
2. Copy mkv files
2. Mount NTFS microSDcard and enjoy it
This process took me less than 15 min. So, even if you are a beginner, don't get scared and just follow my step. You can do that.
1. Root your tab. How to root? Thanks to bdigitalstudio.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367249
If you have memory card reader or SD card slot on your laptop, you can do that way to copy root.zip file. I did it. As long as you have root.zip on your microSD, I guess anyway will be fine.
2. After root, go to the market (or Google Play), search SUPERUSER, and install it. After install, run it and update SU binary
3. Also search and install BUSYBOX. After install, run the app and install busybox.
Once you complete rooting, follow remain steps. Btw, I did not find or make this solution. I read Raziel_Sicily's instruction from GT 7.7 forum, and just followed it.

Thank you Raziel_Sicily!!!
4. Also search "Drive Mount" app and install it.
5. Format your microSD card as NTFS. (I didn't try ext4 format, but it will work as well) I used SD card slot on my laptop, and it kept showing format options only "FAT32" and "exFAT". So, I used Paragon Hard Disk Manager to format as NTFS. You don't have to use Paragon. Just try to find your way.
6. Plug in your microSD card into Tab
7. Tab will complain "This is not support format blah blah". Just ignore it.
8. Run "Drive Mount"
9. Uncheck "Device Filtering" at the top. You will see your microSD card as NTFS partition at the left side under "Unmounted Drives". Let's mount it. Select your microSD card, tap the mount icon on the top (2nd from right). Mount icon image looks like a External HDD with check mark.
10. When you see your microSD NTFS partition is moved to right side under "Mounted Drive", you done!
Your NTFS partition is located at /mnt/. You will see a new folder name.
Mine was /mnt/mmcblk1p1, and yours can be different.
Use Astro file manager, go to /mnt/your_mounted_folder, and you can use your files.
+ How to watch mkv movie with DTS codec?
Here is extra information. If you have the same purpose with me, you will meet some problem soon. DTS audio cannot be playable.
You use Astro, go to the mounted folder, and click the mkv movie file, it will be played with default video player or another video player app, sound won't play.
What can I make it? I use MX Video Player. Once movie is playing, you can see couple of icons on the right top corner. H/W, captions, audio, and menu from left to right.
Tap audio icon, and select "software decoding" or "blah blah blah blah (S/W)" or whatever 2nd one. Sound will be played perfect.
If I find more info, I will keep updating this post.
Thanks again, bydo, bdigitalstudio, and Raziel_Sicily

thanks,
Andrea ( Italy )
Hi Andrea
I am happy that my post helped you. If you have any questions, let me know.
Thanks
Good job figuring out all the steps. I'll be trying this out soon.
Have you tested what happens to the NTFS or EXT4 formatted card when connecting the tab to a PC over USB? Can you still access the sd card over the USB connection and copy files to it directly without removing the card from tab?
bydo,
Sorry for late answer. Yeah, I connected it with PC over USB, but could not recognized. I think it makes sense because even GTP cannot recognize MicroSD card.
So, I usually use SD card slot from my laptop. Most laptop has SD card slot. So, actually, it is easier to use than connecting GTP via USB. Just pull out MicroSD card from GTP, plug it into adapter (MicroSD -> SD), plug-in SD adapter to laptop slot. Then, you can use faster speed than slow MTP mode!
SD card slot gives you 1GB per 2 min speed.
Ezymount is another alternative

Is there a way to get this to work on s3? the app just crashes when i insert sd card.
UplI have my TF700(which I nicknamed The Beast), for a few days and I need help with understanding setting up my 32 GB MicroSD card.
A few days after getting my TF700, my ordered SanDisk 32GB card came in the nail.
I did not reformat it, as it seemed to work fine.
Now comes my confusion.
With the new card inside, I did the USB connection thing to my Windows computer.
It immediately said loading drivers and in Computer, I. saw two new drives listed.
One the internal storage, the other the MicroSD card.
I created a couple of folders and copied over the contents of two CD worth of songs, all in Ogg audio format to the card. No problems.
I opened up Poweramp on my TF700, had it scan for music and it found my Ogg audio files.
Poweramp works great and plays everything. store my music in only Flac and Ogg formats.
Plugged in my headphones and the music sounded incredible.
Now the weird stuff.
I wanted to move some data files over to my card. Plan to have the volatile data files on the card and the more static apps on the internal storage.
I opened File Expert on my TF700 and it was bizarre. I see these folders showing that are shown as being on my external card, but in reality, they are not.
There is a mnt folder and inside that is the SDCARD folder.
Then when I go back in File Expert and select the Internal storage, I see a folder called removable and sub folder of that called MicroSD. I opened it and there are where my real MicroSD files are.
What the heck happened?
No problems redoing things, but I don't understand. Did I need to reformat my card inside the TF700?.
Thanks in advance.
Jon
That's just the way asus tablets handle external storage (it could be the same with other tablets but I only had a prime and this). You're fine. You could use asus's stock file manager app to get to your microsd card easier.
I don't use File Explorer, but ES File Explorer, but I don't think it makes a difference, but might.
Anyway, on the TF700T when using a file explorer the internal storage is SD card. The microSDHC is actually underable "removable" storage. You'll see both listed when you hit the root directory. It took me a few minutes to figure it out.
How do I move my album art, screenshots, downloads to SD card automatically.
I kow how to change my storage settings for videos and pics to my sd card but not the native stuff that are automatically moved to the phones internal storage
My phone is running low on storage and some of it has to do with my media files. How do ensure that whenever i do something like take a screenshot, it will be saved on my microsd card as opposed to internal phone storage
I have a Note Edge(Note 4 essentially)
