SD card issue

Hi guys, im trying to install a rom or even simply a stock kernel on my tab and for some reason when going into CWM i keep getting this error that sd card cannot be mounted. any ideas???

Did you try to re-format your external sd card ?

yes I did. no luck even after that

get 2GB card... nowadays it's dirt cheap and should work no problem

Or use a USB drive. Everyone keeps forgetting about that option.

SD Issue

Hi All
I have been given a dell streak from o2 as replacement for my joggler however it didnt have a micro sd card so i bought one however i am having a few problems
When i try and install some apps it says failed to install to usb or mass storge also when i download an app that can be moved to the sd card it says failed to move application
However this problem has only happened on 3 games so far flick soccer it lets me install the game however it wont let me move it to the sd card, flick golf and train conducter 2 usa wont let me install at all
I did search on google however the info on helping only seemed to be for rooted devices

Is this happening when you install them to internal sd?
Not all programs and games can be installed on the external sd, and anyway, you have a whopping 2GB of internal storage, why not just install apps and games there?

the apps i am trying to move can be moved to the sd card it gives me the option it just wont move and when i tried to install flick golf and train conducter 2 usa it refused to install it said it couldnt install to sd card or mass storage
I can move some apps to the sd card so i dont know whether its a problem with certains apps

I m facing the same issue on my dell streak...can someone help please..

Do these games take up that much space that you even need to worry about moving apps to the external MicroSD? You have 2GB of internal storage for your apps in addition to whatever you have in the external MicroSD slot, and unless you're running low on space you shouldn't need to worry about moving apps at all.

S4 9505 no sd card support kitkat??

Hi, i recently got a galaxy s4 that was already on kitkat when i got it.
It didnt come with a micro sd card so i decided to buy a 32gb card from amazon.
I recieved the micro sd card in the post today, put it straight into my galaxy, tried to move music from the phone to the sd card through astro file manager but it came up with a write failed error!?!
I was reading today that it has something to do with the kitkat update? Is this true?
I see it as pointless having a phone with expandable storage capabilities but due to the heavy touchwiz you only have a 9 gb device.
I dont have a computer at the moment and was wondering if there was any work around to getting my files from my phone to the sd card?
Sorry if this has been asked a lot but i just got my s4 so a bit late to the party.
Thanks for any info given
Take care

This is fixable if you're rooted. Go to the Play Store and download SD Card Fix. Run it to modify the system file which controls read/write access to the card.
If that doesn't solve the problem, then either the card or the slot is damaged.
P.S. If you're not rooted, it is possible to root without needing a PC using Mobile Odin, but using a PC may be a better option.

Micro SD Card issues

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 which I recently upgraded to the official Lollipop 5.0.1 update. I also added a new Samsung 64 GB (Class 10) Micro SD Card. When I use the Micro SD Card in a card reader in Windows 8, I can easily add / delete files without any problems. When I use the Micro SD Card in the Samsung Galaxy S4, it works fine for a while, then suddenly files and folder automatically disappear or files become corrupt; photos clicked with the camera disappear instantly. I am not sure if the problem lies with the Micro SD Card, the phone, the OS or some app.
Please could someone help!

I would suggest to format the card in your phone (if not already done). And then try it again.

I found that you cannot even use the sd card as storage for apps with the 5.0.1 rom this is a issue for me as far as the sd card corrupting files im not sure i am using a 16 gig and i had to set everything manually to save to sd card or move it over myself such as the camera and downloads, but for apps not a chance

This is also the case on KitKat.

[Help] switch from internal to external

Hello, Now I having trouble with the internal storage, I couldn't get it my play store to install app to my sd card or to re-direct my app to read file in my Sd card, for example I installed Chaos ring 3, I had to move all the file from my sd card to internal, or when I download a game let'a say "Deemo" it supposed to installed to my sd card but it didn't. It's killing my internal storage TT^TT . Does anyone have a solution for that, please help me.... I think everybody have the same problem though, does anyone know how to fix this solution? :crying:
Thank you
