So I have my S7 Edge. Haven't rooted it (don't feel the desire at this point) and I'm really having issues with simple file transfers. Phone is recognized immediately when connecting it to the PC via the supplied USB cable. I set the device to "file transfer mode," I browse to the device, it displays the Card with appropriate storage usage and then the Phone storage with appropriately calculated storage, but then I can't actually browse either. If I enter the phone storage, there is absolutely nothing in the directory list, it's empty. If I enter the card storage I just see: http://imgur.com/a/IpnUE . What is going on here? I do have the latest Samsung USB drivers. Cable also works fine with my Galaxy Tab E. Random other thing, I don't ever recall it asking me for permissions to access device storage when allowing MTP.
Is your SD card encrypted by chance?

Is it set up for adaptable storage? If not remove it from your phone and plug it directly into your PC with an adapter and see if it works after that.
I'm having somewhat similar issues. I can't transfer ANY of my pictures to my Sd Card. There's an error icon for each one. Card formatted.

Make sure the app you are using has permission to access the SD card.
It was a knockoff samsung card. I tossed it out. Went and bought a 64gb SanDisk

I've just got a 32GB Sandisk Class4 MicroSD and my transfer speeds are horrible when mounted over USB.
Also after some time, the transfers may fail, and the mount is no longer reachable. I.e. you can no longer browse it through My Computer.
When this happens, the phones interface grinds to a halt, and I need to restart it. Key strokes will take seconds to come up, etc.
I've tried reformatting the SD card, reinstalling Kies to get the latest USB driver, but the speeds still the same.
I found if I manually did "safely remove hardware" for the Android internal SD mount, the speed is a bit faster.
Any ideas?
Try adding the phone as a USB mass storage with USB Debug On, also use only the supplied Samsung cable and finally did you format the card in the phone before you started using it?

I couldn't find that, but ran H2TestW, which managed to write all the files fine but had read errors.
Not sure if that is because I have it going through the phone, maybe I should try an SD card adapter to the PC?
OK, something weird just started happening. For some reason, my Win 7 PC will not display the contents of my micro sd card when I connect my A500 to my pc. My pc recognizes the connection as soon as I plug it in, the dialog box asking if you want to open the folder comes up, all of the files on the internal sd partition are viewable, but when I click on the ext sd card it opens and nothing is displayed. I took the micro sd card out of the a500 and put it in a usb reader and everything was fine. All files were there and accessible. I even ran checkdisk on it and defragged it. I stuck it back in the a500, rebooted, and connected it to the pc and still nothing is displayed when I click on the sd card. This wouldn't be a big deal but now it makes it real difficult to move any files to my a500 from my pc. I have to copy it to internal memory and then move it to the ext sd using a file manager on the a500. If anyone knows of a solution please chime in.
My a500 is currently running a stock rooted 3.2.1 with all the latest updates installed.

I had similar problem to u except I only had internal storage showing on PC. You can try this - Remove micro sd put it in a usb reader and transfer any file to it, I just used an apk, put it back in tab, connect USB to PC, uncheck USB debugging and you should have access to both internal and external sd.
The weird thing is i'm sure i never had to disable USB debug before I could see external contents. In Device Manager under Portable Devices if USB debug is checked my tab shows up as "MTP" and will not show in win exp. If I uncheck it then it shows as "Acer ICONIA TAB A500" and I can access . Can anyone tell me if this is normal behaviour??? I'm running rooted stock 3.2.1/Win 7. thanks
I had similar problem with no external SD card display when I connected my tablet. Recently, I updated the Android SDK and all of a sudden, my PC displays the external SD card. I am currently using rooted Honeylicious 3.2.1 with the latest recovery RA 3.14

I'll try that, I am running the exact same thing. I have run several roms before going back to stock rooted and I believe the stock rooted was displaying it properly. I can't think of what might have changed on my computer but I will hunt down the android sdk and download it and see if that changes. I have tried several different drivers for the acer with no improvement.
Similar Issue
I have a similar issue. The Music folder doesn't show up, but all the other folders and files are available.
I noticed when I select properties of the sd card in windows explorer it says under file system: Generic Hierarchical. What the hell is that?? Shouldn't it say FAT32?? Also, up on the top or the windows explorer windows when you have details selected under view it has Name, type, size, track number, and artist as the headers. Luckily, I backed up the sd card the other day to my computer so I'm going to take the sd card out and format it and copy everything back and see if that fixes it.
Anybod work out how to fix it I am using stock 3.2.1 and contents of external sd not visable from pc. Internal sd shows contents no problem.
I Think this is a issue due to the original format of the sd card. I to had a similar issue.. I copied everything off the sd card into my pc to back it up.. then put the card into my android phone and formatted it.. Put card back in win7 pc copied files back to card then put it back in the tablet.. CONNECTED usb cable and all is well.. this was months ago. The issue started all at once for me as well. And i do know the card was originally formatted in my pc... This was talked about alot with flashing rom issues as well as not seeing card thru adb..
This is worth a try .. LET me know if it work or not..
Erica Renee.. the BLONDE ANDROID CHIC WATCHING OVER YOU..
no, didn't work for me erica - the weirdest thing is I can see everything fine from my win7 laptop but not on my win7 desktop - until I disable USB Debug then everything is fine??? I think my issue is drivers - i'm loathe to change them tho as it took forever to get ADB working successfully and not too much of a prob to disable USB debug - it would be nice if someone was able to come up with a definitive solution tho
acer uses mtd in order to sync your data. It also allows you the tablet to continue using the internal memory while allowing access to it at the same time. If you are to change it from mtd to a regular drive then the Acer sync will not work and you will lose access to the memory from the tablet while connected to PC.
I believe I read the sdcard slot was only there to allow you to copy items to the tablet. Maybe they changed it with a early update.
When it is in mtd mode the system does not see the memory directly. That is why you do not see fat32. Just Google mtd storage and you will understand.
Hi,
My S4 isn't able to modify the microSD card content.
Neither with the File explorer nor via USB from windows.
I tried formatting, deleting, everything.
It works for the moment, but as soon as I unmount the card and mount it again, all data is as before.
I don't have a pc adapter handy, so I don't know what file format the card has.
It's a Sandisk 64GB.
I can't say if it ever worked, because I probably copied that data that is on there directly at my pc.
It's really strange and hopefully someone has a solution.
S4 have issue with SD cards he kills them is not a joke there's topic with that issue maybe yours card is at the end

Have you tried using something like Root Explorer to check (and change if necessarry) the permissions on your SD card? you want read and write on there.
Hi all, I just got my Note 3 N-900 Exynos few days ago and I decided to root it. Before it's rooted I can transfer big size files (100mb-700mb) to my internal/external SD card without any problem. But after it's rooted now I can't copy files around those sizes anymore. Anybody know what's wrong and got the solution for this issue? Any help will be much appreciated.

If you typically use USB 3.0 then it might be the 5 minute timeout. Try a large file with USB 2 and see if it completes.

What do you mean? I just plugged in the stock usb that came with the phone to my pc and copy-paste the files. Not sure whether it's the 3.0 or 2.0 usb. When I paste it suddenly the explorer force closing.

I would try a SD Card reader from Best Buy, you should have no problem transferring files with the card out of the phone. it plugs into the computer similiar to a flash drive, and you can access the micro card with a reader.

Yes I do have a micro sd card adapter so I can plug it in to my pc as a removable disk. But it's annoying that I have to unmount my sd card, take it off my phone, put in in the adapter and then plug it in the pc everytime I want to transfer files to my phone.

Mine doesn't have a pop up like it that, the windows explorer just shut down suddenly when I attempted to paste the file.

Did you format the card? I recall not doing that a while back and I had the same problem

No I didn't format both internal and external sd card. You think formatting them is a possible solution for this issue?
none
You wont format the internal, just the external. I can only tell you it worked for me, make a folder for your files, move them off the card, format and put them back on
Hi,
I have a 2GB SD Card in my phone and it is almost full. I have a 4GB available but I am not sure how to swap them over. I have all sorts of data on the card including apps. Any time I am offered the opportunity to move apps or data to the card I have accepted so I have no idea no idea what is on there.
What is the best way to do this?
Rob
What is your mobile, what rom you are using

1. Connect the MicroSD to your PC, either through the phone's USB connection, or by removing the card and placing it into your PC.
2. Copy the data off the card.
3. Change cards.
4. Copy the data to the card.
I'm curious as to why you're using so small a card however. I would be using a much larger card, at minimum 16 or 32GB.
^^ what he said.
I used that method too and it worked. But it was with a different phone, so results may vary.
In any case, you can move your apps back to your phone if it needs be. Then the only data that should be present on the SD card will be your music/pictures or whatever else you have on there.

The bast way is to pull your card out, plug it in to your pc and copy all your files including hidden files on to your new bigger card. Than put the new card back in to your phone. Job done. That's the best way. If you copy your files while phone is connected than you want copy everything and you want copy hidden files such as - .android secure
