I'm trying to start up media room to play some of my mp3s and am getting no music on sd card. I went to my gallery to see if my pics and music were there but it said nothing on sd card. If I go into androzip I can see what is on my sd card. Tried powering off completely, unmounting wo success.any ideas?

So I want to format my sd card because I have a 16gig sd and put all my apps on the phone and its still half gone. I have no music on the sd. My question is, if I format/erase the sd card will it screw up my rom managment? Also in my root exsplorer there are files I am unsure wut they are. Any thoughts?

Hey all, I just picked up a new S5 a few hours ago actually. Got everything all set up and migrated over to the new phone. Phone is bone stock. Anyways, I put in the sd card from my old phone, but the S5 won't scan it. None of my pictures from the card show up in "Gallery", none of my ringtones show up in Sound settings, none of my music shows up in the music player. I've tried an SD rescanning app from the play store but it didn't work. I can view the contents of the card just fine when using a file browser, but android does not appear to be scanning any of the files of it. Any ideas on what could be wrong? I've read that the sd card permissions were changed with kitkat, but would that remove media scanning from the SD card?

I'd recommend you to do the following steps:
1. back up your sd card to your pc, laptop or whatever
2. then go to "storage setting", format that sd card
3. then copy your data back to sd card
4. restart your phone
it should work fine!
Wow, that worked great. Thanks!

You're welcome, I'm glad you sorted it out
I bought a 64gb sandisk ultra micro sdxc card which is supposed to be supported in the sharp aquos crystal but it wont let me instal apps to sd, anyone else having this problem? Have any of you been able to install apps to sd on this phone? Whenever i try to install an app it says insufficient storage even though the sd shows 59 gb available. Yes i did format the sd card when i got it.
4.4 system wont let you install any app on sd card unless you root it
which is impossible at current stage
Amen to that, I`m stuck with my sharp squid crystal end of the story. I've tried towelroot, root genius, I've even tried putting the phone into recovery by pressing and holding the power button phone off or on and volume up or down don't work the phone just vibrates and doesn't turn back on till you let go. I got the phone to test because I need a phone to have lots of storage and long battery time which this on does. I put an 128gb SD and it works well, but no luck with trying to get root or putting apps on the SD either. Sharp has it in lock down trying to

I deleted all content on the new sd card and phone said checking sd card
Does that mean its formated now or did i miss another last step to this?
I'll simply disregard the fact that this SAME EXACT THREAD was already created and answered.
No, you cannot install apps to the SD card WITHOUT ROOT. That is due to Google changing how SD cards function in Kit Kat.
You can move media to the SD card, but not apps.

Nope. That only means that the phone is checking for media on the card to include when you use any type of media app (i.e. file explorers, music players, etc.).
It will scan for media at every boot.
To format the SD card you go to Settings > Storage > Unmount SD card > Erase SD card.
