Hi, I just received my s7 Edge saturday and I bought a micro sd card. I was looking my files and I saw a strange thing : I have a folder in my root files and the sd card folder was 16 gb but when the files and folders inside was just 700 mb. Thank you but sorry for my bad english.
Any ideas ?

I don't understand exactly what you want but if the files on the sd card is not needed you can format and erase everything or just copy the needed files to PC and format external sd card

Unfortunately the sd card folder is not the sd card, it is the usable storage on the phone and is located in the root of the phone but there is the same files in storage/emulated/0. I can't understand
Yeah ! I found my problem ! Es Explorer create a bin and she was 16 gb big! That's why my storage was full

Probably this topic should be in a different place, but In some way is connected to my BA.(Im using xplode's WM6). Ok back to problem. So I have 4gb SD card and I can only copy files on it after format. If I want to add sth on a card files became damaged.(I have only one chance to write files if i want to add sth I need to copy all files back on my pc then foramt card and then copy files back on Card). Problem is connected to my BA because when i copy files on a device and from device on my card(by resco explorer) files are ok(i dont need to format card). So where is the problem??
I wish you understand what I'm talking about
Are you sure you have 4GB SD card and not SDHC? SDHC cards are not supported on BA.
I'm sure. Its weird cause when i copy file from phone memory to storage card files are ok. But whem I'm copying directly from PC to card throug card reader(or wm5torage) files are damaged,unless I make a format but format halps only for one time.
May I know the file system of your SD card?
file system of windows NTFS. System of card FAT32
i had this prob. on my previous card its due to the file format. Beyond 2 gb fat do not works so it goes to fat32 and but these non sdhc card keeps running on fat so this happens. in ideal form the 4gb sd should be 4gb sdhc to work properly.
this causes me to switch to 2 2gb sd card instead of 1 4gb. I also advice u to take backup regularly because u never know when they stop working properly.
so if its file system problem why my 1gb card i working(fat32 as well as 4gb). That could mean that 4gb card is damaged sp why its workin after format and why I can copy from phone without mistakes? Is there any way to change file system on a card? By windows formating i can only format fat32
hi,
i just pulled the sd card from my i9000 into my pc and i cant see any file from it...

I put something into it and only things in this folder i can see on my pc why? I would like to copy photos or music directly to the sd card...
can anyone help me?
If you try to access your SD card from the External drive folder called "SD" it won't work.
There are 2 drives actually for this phone when you plug it with USB, one is the External sdcard (the 6gb partition that comes with the phone) and the other is the microSD card. Both are in My Computer.

Im not using a USB Cable to acces the sd card, I put the card out of the phone into a cardreader and then I cant see any files on the card only the files in the folder called "sd" on the card but in the phone I see there more folders on the root of the sd card.
On the phone I see following folders in root of the sd card:
albumthumbs
Android
bluetooth
DCIM
....
and one folder called "sd"
Everything in this folder "sd" I can see on my pc but not the folders on the root of the sd card?
why?

That's because those files and folders you only see on your phone are in fact part of the internal memory and NOT from the microsd card.
The microsd card is in fact the folder named SD.
Your best bet and it is the one I personally use is to leave the card in the phone and attach your phone to the PC via USB.
Once you have 'mounted' the phone you will then see 2 (two) directories.
One directory will be the internal memory (roughly 5.6GB) and the other the microsd card.
On mine it shows as drives E & F.

Sorry on my phone it isnt that way.
On the root of my phone there is folder called "sdcard" in this one I can find this folders:
albumthumbs
Android
bluetooth
DCIM
....
and one folder called "sd"
only things in the folder "sd" are visible on my pc. for ex. if i take a pic and store it by the cam app to the sd card its saved into the sdcard\dcim\ and it is on the sd card. when I put the card into the pc Im not seeing anything... if I go with astro and copy the pic from sdcard\dcim\ to sdcard\sd\PIC and put the sd card into my pc Im seeing on the sd card ONE FOLDER called PIC?!?!
Ive just checked it with the usb cable and its the same thing, if you plug it in you get two drives one with the folders
Android
bluetooth
DCIM
....
and another...
BUT BOTH ARE THE SD CARD, try to connect the phoen without a installed sd card to a pc you will see nothing...
And this point I would like to change.

You are misunderstanding what I am saying.
The folder sdcard is the internal memory
Whilst the folder sd is the MicroSD card.
If yours is different then I don't know what is going on with your Galaxy S

Yes, I agree... it is confusing.
On a Windows Mobile device the SDCard relates to the external SDCard.
With the Galaxy S, because it has an 8GB storage card (of which you only get to use around 5.6GB) it treats this as the SDCard and of course anything saved does indeed go to this storage.
Looks like we will have to wait for Froyo to arrive on the Galaxy S before we can download direct to the MicroSD card (which as we know is indeed buried inside SDCard/SD.

IF you have partitioned your SDcard you will either need a special program or need to use a Mac or Linux computer to copy the second partitioned section.
If you are using one partition just copy everything from the SD card to your Computer, then from the computer to the new SD card.
Remember to make hidden files and folders visible in Windows before you attempt copying, and move all the apps that reside on SD back to the phone's internal memory (if left on SD, their encrypted files might not work after copying).
sorry, im not really good with this stuff
if you dont mind, could you give me more detail instruction,
thank you

He is saying
1.Make sure that Hidden Files & Folders are show on your PC.If not,appy it under My Computer>Tools>Folder Option
2.Connect your old sd card to your pc via a memory card reader or you can do it via Data Storagr mode on your phone using data cable.
3.Open old sd card(show as a drive on your pc) & select all the files on the sd card including hidden files too.
4.Copy selected files(whole files on the old sd card,ok) & paste it on somewhere pc your pc.
5.Now remove old sd card & insert new sd card to the card reader.Then open it.
6.Now move that old sd files to the new sd card.
That's all!

My Problem is there are some folders and files are on Internal storage which are not geting deleted, if i do hard reset and reboot my phone i can have all those folders and files are back, even i have attached my phone with Mini Partition Tool and format with 0 level but still files and folder same on internal memory even if i add any Memory card it won't mount and can not acessable from any file manager, even if i copied to internal memory it copied successfully but again when i check with file manager or reconnet to PC and check my copied files are not there on internal memory
i want to format my phone with all data loss on my internal memory and install stock or other CWM based ROM
please help me out i am in big critical condition.
What files/folders are those exactly that won't get deleted?
have you tried to format from android?
And depend of which folders, there are some special folders that the system will recreate after delete..

there 5 to 6 folders
name like
12345
and some indian people name and songs in it.
Okay, well that is really weird. Is that on internal storage or on the external SD card? Try formating both to be sure, preferrably in the phone itself.

Hello, Now I don't really know what's going on cause i'm going crazy with this phone, eveytime I inserted sd card it asked the partition card and internal sd card and when I chose the external ones I have no idea why it doesn't read my sd card like for example I wanna transfer my file via airdroid or wanna restore an app via Titanium backup or play an NDS game it just read only the internal storage even though it shows on ES file explore (I tried the internal ones and it format my SD card, and S did put all the files back in place but it didn't help, the es file explore in photo was before I put my files back, by the way), my phone just doesn't read my sd card, it's like it just work as a one way storage, when I was using a Sony, this doesn't happens what so ever.
Does anyone knows how to fix this problem of mine, please help me. I took some pictures to make proves :crying::crying:
I'm terribly sorry for my English, English is not my primary language.

In titanium backup, open the preferences menu then choose backup folder location. Choose Storage provider (click to change). Then pick DocumentProvider storage, select the SD card on the left menu then press Select at the bottom right corner
go to settings>>storage>>click on external sdcard>>top corner 3dots>>settings>> format
then move media to sdcard.
Your SD card is showing in the file manager. You've 32gb sd card right? "FD89-1CE6" is your sd card. For titanium backup you need go to TB settings and set the backup directory to SD CARD ( FD89-1CE6)

Yeah, Thank you very much, i just did it last night, kinda having trouble with the superSU at first though, I tried to patched Titanium Backup on lucky patcher and it kept saying that I need to root my device, so i had to reflash superSU again. Thank god it went through. Now I having trouble with the internal SD card, 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, it's knilling my internal storage TT^TT . Does anyone have a solution for that, please let me know.... I think everybody have the same problem though, does anyone know how to fix this solution? :crying::crying:

In Android 6.0, once you format ur external sd card as internal it becomes a part of ur internal memory and functions as internal one(the external SD card won't show up in file managers). Hence the phone decides where your app is installed either the real internal memory or the now formatted SD card working as internal memory.
If you don't format it as internal memory. The apps won't install on external SD card and you can't move the apps to external SD card.

No you can't coz the data on your sd card will be encripted n you won't be able to read it on your computer via card reader. I'd suggest you to keep your sd card as "portable device" if you want to transfer data via card reader.
