So,
I was able to copy a 4GB file through USB. However, now I'm trying it again and it seems like it's only going through readonly, I can't write to it at all. I also tried switching to PTP, but it doesn't work.
Is anyone else facing this issue?
(I'm sorry if this has been already posted/answered)
Do you have enough storage?
Yeah, I have 12GB or so free. I can't even copy a 1KB txt file, or even delete anything for that matter.
Hrmm. It seems to be working again.

I can't copy any file, until the smallest note 1kb of pc to g1.
I try to copy a file, like a music, ok, its there, but after when I remove safely the usb, and unmount on the g1, I look for the file and its not there. I tested with every type off archives, and with a 200mb file, the sd don't keep the file. Help plx , maybe its a config wrong.
Ahh, and I can't download files on g1 by browser, it says that I haven't space, but I have 3GB on sd and 20mb on internal.
Before I haven't this 2 problems. Someone know what are the problem?
Sorry by the bad english, I'm portuguese =P
the problem is the sdcard 8GB
Well, I couldn't take pics, download files from internet, everthing that be armazened on sdcard. I change for a sdcard of 1GB from my cam, and it works, at all. Well, I want to know how I fix the sdcard 8GB, maybe formating it. I have a debian instaled, i ll lose it =X, I don't know what I've done to brick the sdcard 8GB like that, a minute it works, another it don't. Ok, just to know if formating the problem will gone.

I've been reading the threads that have already asked this and was wondering if anybody had been able to solve this problem. My phone was setup without an SDcard at first and so now it uses a virtual directory as the SDcard, saving everything downloads, apps, to it while telling me its using the external "sdcard". I even saved a movie file on it from my computer, and after pulling it out later to check the files in my computer, it was gone and there were no files on it, save for the Lost.dir file. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
I have been trying now for an hour to backup the internal sd partition to 2 different windows 7 computers. It takes a long time for the "calculating time to transfer files" box to start doing anything. Once it starts transferring - the transfer stops mid way.
I have a folder called music that has about 3gb of songs in various folders. I have tried to copy this folder over and over and it keeps failing at 524mb every single time. I can't seem to figure out what is going on. Samsung drivers installed. Some of the smaller folders seem to transfer, but not everything in the folder gets transferred, though no error pops up.
I have tried both MTP and PTP without any success.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I didn't seem to have any problems backing up the external sd card whatsoever
Thanks guys

I had this problem with any file over 100MB on my Note 2 and GNex (both used MTP). It just seems like a fundamental problem with that interface. The only solution I found was to use DroidExplorer to transfer files. It takes a bit longer but I have never had it copy only part of the file.

I just use Root Explorer and a Flash Drive with OTG cable. Also, SambaDroid works well.
Hi
I'm planning to do a factory reset on my i9506, since I've had many problems with it lately.
Problem is, when I connect my phone to my computer to backup/copy files i.e. go to Computer\S IV\Phone\DCIM\Camera
I can only see pictures like .jpg files, but not any of my video .mp4 files.
Another example, looking at my Download folder on my computer it shows 70 files, but browsing the folder with my phone there are actually 334 files.
I've tried connecting as MTP and PTP with no difference.
The files I'm backing up are on the phones internal memory. I don't have an SD card atm because the phone messed it up.
Now I can't do a factory reset untill I've gotten all of my "important" files secured on my computer...
How can I fix this? I really need to reset my phone to possibly get it working normally again.
Use something like Airdroid to transfer the files. I also always have some kind of problems transfering files in any other way.
I'm having a rather unique problem with my the Micro SD card I installed.
I can format it as internal storage and it won't pop up for file managers or my computer.
This means I can't manually move files to it all.
Despite that when it's internal storage I can move apps to it and it adds new apps to it by default.
I could go to move all and move everything it can on, but it's a fairly slow SD card so I'm hoping to mainly put music, videos and any pictures on there.
I worry about it moving the apps that I want to keep in internal storage for speed over.
Does anyone know how I could fix this?
EDIT:
I didn't manage to figure out how to add files manually while it was internal storage through either internal file managers or through the computer.
But I did manage to find the SD card while it was portable.
The trick is to use the built in file explorer on the phone and copy a small file onto the SD card.
With there being something other than just Android files on the SD card it can then be discovered by the computer.
This mainly solves my problem as I plan to use it primarily for storage of music and game files, with the emulators being on the phone itself.
I had this issue a few days ago. You have 2 options to format, (1) as a internal storage and only your phone can read this and other option (2)to use on others devices. Using the second option I managed to transfer files to my microSD like it used to be.
While using the first option I was able only to transfer apps to it through the system.
I hope it helps
I'm using one, but I'm not even able to find it with File Manager?
Is that normal for Internal Storage?
I expected there to at least be a folder in the normal phone space called SD card or something?
Is there no way to manually move music there when it's internal storage?
Also I tried changing it to be portable but my computer still couldn't see it.
File manager could actually see it and open it but I couldn't copy paste anything to it.
So I turned it back to internal as I can at least move apps to it successfully at the moment.

When I tried as Internal Storage any File Manager found my SDcard too... Thats why I'm using as portable.
After that, i could see this.
Maybe you're missing something like changing the USB connection from Charging to File transfering.
Did you checked this?
Yes it can see the rest of my phone and move files, so I've made sure to change it to file transferring.
When you used internal storage file managers failed to find your SD card as well?

Here your saying that you could find it and that's why you swapped over?
I assume you forgot to say it failed to show up separately and that's why you changed to portable.

Sorry! Yes, I failed to find my SD card too, thats why i changed to portable.
Im assuming this is a normal behavior, my last Android phone was a Galaxy S2 and I stopped following Android changes for the lasts 4/5 years. But idk why you can't see it even in portable mode... That should work as worked for me.
Hope someone help you more than I did!

Thank you for trying to help.
I think I might have figured out part of the problem, the file explorer I normally use doesn't have permission to add anything to the SD card. I'm not sure how I would go about giving it permission though.
But when I use the system built in I was able to copy paste some music onto it.
With a file on the SD Card my computer was able to locate it as well, and I can now copy and paste to the SD card using my computer.
So with your help I was able to figure out how to get portable working.
It is a bit disappointing that there isn't a way to manually add files while it is an internal storage though.
So again while your solution didn't directly work, it made me think and find a solution to my problem even if it's not the one I wanted.
