Thanks

Hi all,
Can anyone help me with this problem?
I have a 32GB class 10 micro sd card and I have used it from s3.. when I went to put the card in my s4.. I was restoring some games from Titanium Backup and there is toast msgs saying External SD memory left 1.78mb..
How can it be if my card still have a storage of 25GB not used? Is the datas of the games in another partition or if I would need to format my sd card? To FAT or Exfat?

Look in the TWRP and or CWM folders and sub-folders on your external sdcard,
most likely you have many nandroid backups in those folders.
Or perhaps you have a lot of recorded videos on your externel sdcard.
If worst comes to worst copy all files and folders from externel sdcard to computer
and then remove the sdcard, connect it to computer and use this fat32 format utility
to reformat the card.
Here is the download link for the free fat32 format utility: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/FAT32format-Download-79375.html

Hello
I just bought a new 64gb micro sd card
But run into all kinds of problems...
Extracting rar files from my micro sd card won't work, I get the error "wrong header type".
Extracting the same files from internal works fine.
Extracting a movie from internal to external sd works but the movie will only play for about 1 minute and then it says
"Unable to play video"
Anyone got some ideas...

Did you tried to format your sd card? That should help with your issue.
probably fake sd card...
Most probably a fake.
Use H2testw to test the SD card:

Is there a way to swap my internal sdcard with my external sd card on 4.41 omni? On 4.3 i could edit buil.prop, and on 4.1-4.2 i edited vold.fstab. none of these work for 4.4.
