With KitKat 4.4.4 Picture Gallery and Video Player do not read saved pictures and movies on my ExtSDCard, I would greatly appreciate it if anyone knows a solution to this issue. I have Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C. Very best regards.
Hmmm. Might be your sd card problem. My sandisk 32gb c10 runs great after a format.
If you're SD is working in other devices maybe that your affected by Kitkat SD Card writing issues ... if you're rooted then just install this amazing app from our own Dr.Ketan

I had this problem, but unmounting then remounting the card solved it (it prompting a refresh for the gallery) I did find out that the problem was caused by an over zealous cache cleaner app I was using.
Try using QuikPic instead of the gallery. It's by far the best image viewer/organiser for Android.
Also don't forget that there are restrictions on writing to the SD card in Android 4.4 upwards

Which SanDisk app are you referring to?
SD card issue
I have the same problem (N9005, 32GB Samsung SD card) - after the update:
- Mybackup Pro is not able to backup on SD card (before it worked well)
- File mamager X-Plore can not create new folders on the external SD card
- similar with the Astro file manager
Only the system-own file manager can create folders. Reading from the card is possible.
After formatting the card: still the same problem.
has anyone additional information?
It's because of the security features of KK... These older apps aren't yet "approved" by Samsung. It has something to do with a simple permission to write to the sd card.
As was stated "Only the system-own file manager can create folders" as this is Samsung approned. Until the Apps are updated and the Samsung seal of approval given these may have trouble...
There is no problem if rooted...
I am truly enjoying KitKat but I wish I could get Titanium to back up to the external sd card.
I guess I will wait like everyone else for the app to get approval from Samsung. Perhaps that will come with the "official' release of KitKat.
Yes, I am rooted and it still cannot back up to the external sd.

Use External SD fix for KitKat - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607215
My friend's Note 3 (N9005) photos disappeared suddenly from "/DCIM/Camera" directory entirely. I tried data recovery referencing from http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705 using Recuva, TestDisk and PhotoRec but did not recover any of the original photos, all are thumbnails.
From the TestDisk search option, under "/DCIM/Camera" directory, there are no sign of deleted files (Note: Deleted files will be displayed in red text)!!!. OMG!
No success from web search. There are many others whom faced similar problem, read https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=note+3+photo+disappear.
Note: I am no beginner and have some knowledge on data recovery.
Please advise!
Thank you.
Is the DCIM folder on the internal memory or external SD card?
I have had files and photos mysteriously disappearing on my 64 GB SanDisk card..turned out to be a re-labeled 4GB fake card that was causing all the problems.

Hi @Reefee, thanks for the reply.
All photos will be stored in internal storage as there is no sdcard inserted. I've checked the camera settings, resolution is set at high quality, I can first filter out based on resolution size which I have yet to do so, so far just a brief run through at the images which all turns out to be thumbnail size.
Will keep my progress updated.
Sorry for the late follow up, I have yet to find a solution and the cause of this. I couldn't help much and have already returned the phone to my friend then.
Thanks for reading.
I am experiencing continuous problems with the external SD. Although it is an original Samsung, cclass 10, and works fine out of the movil, data becomes corrupted as long as I copy or move things there. However, and this is the strange part of the story, there ara some data that were copied to the SD BEFORE updating to KitKat, and those data are correct.
I can only explain it with the update to KitKat. Havve you eexperienced something similar? I it possible that 64Gb is too much for this Android version?
Any idea is appreciated. Thanks a lot

Hi. I had the same problem. So I sent an email to sandisk and they ask for pictures of the microsd. I sent the pictures and they said they there was an error on the microsd, they give me an adress and I sent the product to sandisk ans they send a new one fully working now ^^
I'm not completely sure, but I have a clue: I am testing a Samsung 16g card, and it was working fine UNTIL I took a photographs and the camera app wrote to the external card. Since then, it failed. Then, I reconfigured that app again, so that it didn't write to the external card, formatted the card, and again it seems to behave correctly...
Hi All
I have a Samsung i9505 and just moved to Resurrection Remix 5.6.2 ROM using marshmallow and am having issues with writing to the SD card with 3rd party apps.
I have used the ES Explorer fix and mount R/W and enabled root explorer however my 3rd party app still shows as read only. The app is doggcatcher. Whats odd I found an article to sort this problem out for Titanium backup and that worked fine. Also my camera picture and whatsapp all get saved to the SD card without issue.
In the end I have told doggcatcher to use my internal memory but that is quickly filling up.
I am tempted as the phone as 16GB internal memory, whether I should backup my files and choose the options where I can turn my 64gb external SD card as part of my internal memory as I never take out my SD card so that option might work for me but the reviews I am hearing are more negative than positive. I did try it out and went back to the traditional approach but thinking that maybe I didnt give it enough time.
I used FolderMount which was great on LL and recently purchase Link2SD to move files to the SD card but my internal memory still fills up. Currently foldermount isnt compatible with MM, link2SD is but I am having a few issues with it crashing and dont find it as easily to use as foldermount.
Any advice would be appreciated on what others have done.
Thanks
I don't know about anything else, but from what I heard is:
If you format as internal, you will have to do the whole "setup your sd card" step every time you flash a rom. Which is garbage, unless you stay on the same rom for like ever.
Dirty flashing a rom might skip that setup, as you don't lose the data/settingd etc. Problem is, you can't always dirty flash. Especially when changing roms altogether. PC's might not be able to read it either even if it is in your phone.
This is just what I gathered over the time, nothing from personal experience.
Umm interesting well I normally backup my phone nightly using both TB and nandroid backup so restoring to a new ROM as long as it doesn't format the whole CSR I should be OK or does it when you install the new ROM in which case my backups are no good unless I save them to the cloud like Dropbox or google drive?

I've the Same problem!
Hi,
The Problem - The read/write of files stored in the memory card is slow and lags. when i open any image from the gallery which is stored in the memory card it takes a lot of time to open, and the thumbnails repopulate quite often when opening gallery. Even the read and write of files in the file explorer is very slow.
I am using the stock rom, just rooted the phone with twrp 3.11 and installed SU along with no verity disabler.
I was using a similar config earlier and didnt face this issue untill recently when i had to factory reset my device, updated to the latest firmware and rooted the phone, i started facing this problem since.
I have tired to factory reset the device and root again, but the problem persists even then. It is not a problem with the memory card since it was working fine earlier and i am using a class 10 speed card.
Software info -
Android version - 6.0.1
baseband - g935fxxu1apeq
kernal - 3.18.14-8252943
SE for Android status - Enforcing SEPF_SECMOBILE_6.0.1_0013
Android patch level - 1 july 2016.
Stock firmware rooted with TWRP and SU.
MEmory card - SanDisk Ultra MicroSDXC 64 GB UHS-I Class 10 Memory Card (Upto 80 MB/s Speed)
Is there anyone else facing this problem and please help me with solving this issue.
Thanks.
Try unmounting and remounting, or if that doesn't work, move all of the files to a PC and format it before moving it back.
I hope you solve your problem, though this seems to be a little bit of a peculiar case.
