SD Card not showing some items on Gallery app - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer

The Gallery app doesn't recognize anything outside the camera folder. Why is this?

Corrupted SD Card, start saving as much as you can then transfer it to a new one
Sent from my SM-N920T using XDA Premium HD app

Since the MM update, I've noticed that every now and then after powering up my phone, my new 128GB SD card will show as corrupted. Restarting the phone seems to clear the error, but one day restarting the phone would not clear the error. I have reformatted the SD card from the phone and so far it's working good.

Constant Reboots

need your advice on this, I've just unbox my Galaxy Note few days ago, it keeps rebooting itself, one time I was copying data from the SD card to the other storage in the phone suddenly it reboots. I've had unknown reboots. Now using XXLA4 and seems doesnt solve the issue. Any ideas or suggestions?
Make sure all your applications are licated on internal SD

Have you tried changing sd cards?

yep they are all on my internal SD ... any ideas> Thanks
1 Does it happen after you load your applications or on a clean Rom as well? Could be a app that's causing it.
2 the xla 4 install could have been a bad flash. Did you check the MD 5?

Do one thing just clear your dalvik cache.. i was facing same thing...
so now at the moment my note is in constant reboot mode, don't know if I should let it, I haven't root my devices yet I tried every method available on this homepage but doesnt seem to work at all. I tried installing some games on my note this morning, it failed to download and ever since that it reboots all the time. Any suggestion?
Edit: Now it stops rebooting when I plugged in the USB charger but it says the temperature of the battery is too low or too high and it doesn't charged

welcome to the club, i am in the same boat.
my phone works fine all times without sd card but sometimes goes crazy (restaring / freezing constantly for 7-8h non stop!) with sd card in situ.
some of my apps are on internal 1.9gb memory, some on internal 11gb memory, some on external card. trying to figure out how to force on stock unrooted device to force all apps to internal memory (1.9gb or 11gb) to prevent these issues. or will try new card. my old card works fine on my htc desire. dont know if the htc folders present on sd card are causing soem issues
have tried with apps2sd pro and stock app mnager to move apps to internal 11gb memory. but the phone has a mind of its own and some stay on 1.9gb internal memory some go to 11gb internal memory and some go to external sd card and i cant seem to force moveable apps to internal 11gb memory only instead of sd card as mentioned in the other concurrent thread today on this topic.
Hi,
I also had similar problem like this. It appears that the Android Program at times cannot seem to access the Ext SD card program/s installed and that will cause a reboot and repeated so.
I really do not why this is happening? It will seem to work fine ant reboot when the Ext SD is removed - but those programs installed in the Ext. SD will no longer be accessible.
There is a hidden folder in the Ext. SD ".android_secure" which contain all the programs transferred to that Ext. SD. If you empty this folder of it programs by transferring them to your PC and reinsert the Ext. SD card, it will function normally and you can access your file like photos, videos, music, and ebooks. But you will not be able to access your programs in the Ext. SD.
I had tried un-installing the apps in the Ext SD and re-installing them into Phone memory it will work but it will not transfer to Int. SD (the 11 GB) and keep informing me there is no Ext SD. This of course will eat up all the 1.9 GB of the Phone memory, which is not what I had wanted. Although I still have a lot of memory in the Int. SD (about 8 GB) it will not transfer there, why I am not sure.
Can some of the Android expert please look into this problem and advise. Thank you.

Hi,
How do you make sure all the Apps are located in the Internal SD?
I have an Ext SD and some apps are transferred there. I cannot transfer these apps into the Int SD.
I uninstalled the apps and reinstall them without the Ext SD and then try to transfer to Int SD. It will not transfer and a message "you do not have an Ext SD card"
Will appreciate any assistance. Thank you.
I don't have any apps installed on the internal SD nor external SD, I notice this that everytime an app failed to complete (eg loading) it goes to looping reboots. The last one I was playing some game something called mission, cannot remember the game name, it was loading all the time then I decided to switch it off and turn it on again. It goes constant reboot. I need a good phone which doesn't rebooot all the time ...

Do you think this is worth to try? Since I am planning to go to Samsung today and saw some posts that it has possibility an error on the CPU. I have a couple of friends who also have the Note and nobody has the problem like I do ...
Edit: Oh and I did the factory wipe last night too but it still doing the reboots, finally I plug out the battery, plug it again and leave it for a half an hour then it stops rebooting ...

Its seems like you had an issue with leakage current on cpu. Its caused the battery drain fast and heat up. The only solution is to change the main board. Well, this is use to happen on htc phone. Not sure on sammy phone

yeah my phone also used to reboot after some time... the problem i found was the installation of an app called es file explorer... i disabled the app and it works flawlessly...so some of the app on your phone might be causing you the problem...

SD Card stopped mounting, permanently

I think my S4 just broke...
Basically I woke up with a message on my phone "sd card was unexpectedly removed". I had been sleeping so this happened during the night sometime. It appears no sd card will work in the phone now.
I've done the following:
- rebooted multiple times.
- removed and inserted another sd card, no change. Attempted this with two spare sd cards.
- Settings -> Storage -> Mount option is grayed out regardless of the sd card in there or not.
- all the sd cards were verified to be working in another phone and on PC.
So as far as I can tell my S4 just decided to blow the sd card port over night.
Logging in via adb shell it seems like the block device for the sd card is gone as well.
Any tips?

I had a similar problem.
The SD card i had was bad and the others were old and well used.
Apparently not all class 4 or higher SD cards are good quality these days even tho they work in your pc or older phone.
Try a brand new sd card.

Try a different rom or if you have a nandroid from before the issue started try flashing that.

I had a few SD Cards laying around. They work in other phones. The one in my S4 is not a cheap sd card either and has been working perfect in the phone until today. That sd card works fine in other phones (LG OG for example).

My S4 has only been motochopped and that was over a month ago. Everything has been working fine. The phone was not even in use last night it just happened over night while the phone was charging. Now it refuses to mount any SD card or at least the 3 I have tried.
Yeah, I get that. I'm suggesting that you try and find out if it's software or hardware. If it works with a different rom it's just software, if not it's hardware.

[Q] Corrupt Photos?

I'm having issues capturing photos. The phone seems as if it captures the picture perfectly and if I check the gallery immediately after the photo is there. But after a certain amount of time the photo appears to be corrupt. After restarting the phone the corrupt photos aren't even there. If anyone has any insight into this I would appreciate it, thanks.

By any chance your photos are saved to external sdcard? If they are remove card from phone and save photos and important data to PC. Then full format sdcard in windows and labeled. Then copy pictures and data back to card put back to phone and enyoj. I had same problem and i lost all. Card went bad.

Thanks, I'm saving my photos to the phone now as opposed to the SD card and all is well. I'll format the SD card later and report back!

I'm attempting to format the SD Card through the phone and it won't format it. The pine acts as if it's doing it but nothing happens. I've tried restarting the phone, pulling the battery and unmounting then reinstalling but nothing worksm

Write to SD card and Night mode

Hello everyone,
The camera is not saving pictures on SD card, as soon as I restart the phone all the pics taken are gone from the SD card, also in the gallery it doesn't display any screenshot of the pictures only a green screen, this doesn't happen when I use internal storage for camera, everything else works fine on the SD, I transferred music and took a nandroid backup which is there but for some reason camera is not saving pictures and videos on SD card, also I am not able to find night mode on the camera to take videos in the night without using flash, any help with this?
Thanks.

Just to confirm this then, under camera settings Storage Location is set to Memory Card not Device then using the file manager My Files you go to your SD Card > DCIM > Camera folder and its empty, if so would just suggest first off you try another micro sd card if you can this would help identify a phone or card issue, mine is set to Memory Card its only 8GB as I don't keep much on my phone but it works fine.

But everything else works fine with the SD card, only this camera issue is there, I tried to recover the deleted images/videos by recovery software but it didn't helped, seems like the phone didn't saved them at the first place and I don't know why it is acting like that, could this be write sd issues with the camera? Apps are getting transferred easily without any issue.
Edit: I did a format using PC and now the phone is saving pics/vids to the card, not showing those grey boxes like before, previously I did the format from phone so that might be the issue.
Still no answer on how to enable night mode to record videos without using flash.
+1 on the night mode. It would be sweet but I doubt it'll ever be

Put phone in camera mode, tap settings, turn flash off, go to video mode and flash light will remain off when recording video just the same as when it is turned off in camera mode when taking pictures.
I know how to turn off the flash, what I mean from night mode is that greenish video which a handycam or webcam can record when there is no light.

I was using a genuine SanDisk 64GB Ultra card and had the same issue - tried to format but could not read, was corrupted, a write virus or somehow stuck in read only.
Sent it back for a refund got the Extreme version with U3 and already getting the same issue.

I crave your storage capabilities. I onlg have 16gb device and a 32gb card. As for your issue sammy just doesn't like sdcards. I had issues with my s3, but not with this. I'm scared to up my card size because of this though

Try formatting the card from PC using FAT32 and 128kb write options, this solved my problem.
Tried every method spending a day and gave up - dead end

Try a lower capacity sd card, 16GB or less.
Are you using a third part camera app? Isn't this issue related to the kitkat restriction on writing to external sdcards, for third party apps?

problems with wifi and sd card after rebooting device

Something very odd happened today upon rebooting the device.
I haven't rebooted the device for over 2 months and today I just did that, since then, wifi has been constantly cutting off very regularly and the sdcard has become so slow that ES file explorer can't open it just says loading.
The SD card is kept as before - not integrated - just additional memory for pics and music.
I'm at work now so can't test it on the desktop but it's very odd - is this normal? any help?
Wipe cache, reboot.
My Moto X will not even read my SD card now

WIping cache helps, but the sd card is a lot slower than usual. I've got this 128gb microsd which is supposed to be very good.
