I have 32GB Micro SD card that I have copied my files into using a Micro SD card reader but after I inserted it to my A500 the files were gone. The card is formatted to FAT32 and I have inserted it into my A500 before transferring file just to be sure the card can be found by the file manager.
I have tried using wifi to transfer files but I find it very slow; over 2 hours for 1.5GB.
I don't know what I am doing wrong with this thing.

Probably this topic should be in a different place, but In some way is connected to my BA.(Im using xplode's WM6). Ok back to problem. So I have 4gb SD card and I can only copy files on it after format. If I want to add sth on a card files became damaged.(I have only one chance to write files if i want to add sth I need to copy all files back on my pc then foramt card and then copy files back on Card). Problem is connected to my BA because when i copy files on a device and from device on my card(by resco explorer) files are ok(i dont need to format card). So where is the problem??
I wish you understand what I'm talking about
Are you sure you have 4GB SD card and not SDHC? SDHC cards are not supported on BA.
I'm sure. Its weird cause when i copy file from phone memory to storage card files are ok. But whem I'm copying directly from PC to card throug card reader(or wm5torage) files are damaged,unless I make a format but format halps only for one time.
May I know the file system of your SD card?
file system of windows NTFS. System of card FAT32
i had this prob. on my previous card its due to the file format. Beyond 2 gb fat do not works so it goes to fat32 and but these non sdhc card keeps running on fat so this happens. in ideal form the 4gb sd should be 4gb sdhc to work properly.
this causes me to switch to 2 2gb sd card instead of 1 4gb. I also advice u to take backup regularly because u never know when they stop working properly.
so if its file system problem why my 1gb card i working(fat32 as well as 4gb). That could mean that 4gb card is damaged sp why its workin after format and why I can copy from phone without mistakes? Is there any way to change file system on a card? By windows formating i can only format fat32
Hello,
A micro SD card came with the phone. By browsing the card from my computer it looks like it contains the Route66 maps that came with the phone. However, the card doesn't show up on the phone. What gives? Other cards do show up.
Copy the files from the cards to your computer.
Format the card with your computer using Fat32 format.
Recopy the files back onto the formattted card.
I have a buddy at work and his SD card seemed to go on the fritz with him and he couldn't recover his files. We tried copying via his phone, we tried via 2 SD card readers and even tried to plug it in my Vibrant and pull the files.
We fixed it by copying his files from his SD card to my internal 16gig memory and then we were allowed to copy to his PC. After the copying of file he formatted his SD card and then all of the sudden his phone was way more responsive and of course he could get to his files. It was almost like his phone was hanging up trying to read data off the SD card constantly and it was lagging the phone big time.
Anyways what I was trying to say we have portable SD card recovery devices in our myst. Why we were able to copy files from the SD card to internal and not SD card to PC is beyond me, but I was persistent.
Hey everyone, need some help and been searching for hours for an answer. I have a rooted Galaxy s4. I have apps that are installed to my external SD through the system options and I also have used folder mount to transfer some apps to external SD. I'm guessing that these are hidden files on my external SD card. I want to swap my current 32GB card for a newer 64GB card. How can I create an exact copy of my external card? I tried copying and pasting all my contents from my external sd but it didn't transfer everything because my apps weren't there upon installing the new SD. How to I copy the entire contents of the old 32GB external SD to the new 64 GB external sd? Thanks

How did you copy them? If you plug in the phone over USB then it won't show all files on the SD card in the phone, you either have to put it in it's own USB reader or get the USB Mass Storage app to mount it

I plugged it in through my phone in USB mode and also manually took it out and put it in an SD reader. Either way didn't show
Is there a way to copy sd card files to a new sd card? I got a new larger SD card and can't copy all files to it. TB, TWRP and some other files will not copy. I hate to start completely anew because there are some backups that I would like to retain. It's probably a Windows issue. Would a bit copier accomplish the task? Any advice would be appreciated.
if you have enough internal memory you can copy them to the phone using something like ES file explorer on the play store and then copy them back to the new memory card, or if you have one of those inexpensive dongle memory card adapters you can copy them to your computer then copy them back to the card.
Plug your phone into your computer and switch the usb mode so it shows up as a drive. Copy sd card to computer. Swap sd cards in phone. Format sd card through phone. Copy the backup off the computer to new sd card

otg cable + memory card reader is also a great option. everyone should invest 5$ in a good otg cable
