Hi,
My first post here, so hello to all forum users.
When I tried to copy/paste a file (~50MB) from my PC to External SD card on my Galaxy S,
it froze, then shut off - couldn't restart it unless I removed battery for a few seconds.
Sometimes it will seemingly copy/paste files ok, but then the files turn out to be corrupted.
The card (SanDisk 8GB class 2) was Ok at first, and I had copied some files to it without problem, but after a couple of days I noticed some file names were corrupted.
Are there any known problems regarding SDcards getting corrupted with the SGS?
Just wondering if anyone has had similar problems?
Thanks
yes - although my issue was that files would disappear after a short while.
i isolated the problem to my windows 7 OS running on an old Acer.
copying files via linux solves the problem. my brother's asus can write files to the sd card perfectly using windows 7
wierd really
Had a similar problem until I replaced my USB extention cable, The extension cable was USB1 not USB2, got a USB2 extension cable and its fine now even connects to Keis 1st time everytime.
It happened twice to me within 3 days:
first time while synching with media player.
The second: while bluetooth paired, in copilot gps, a call came.
I went to anwser on bluetooth, no respond.
then tried with the phone. It froze.
Then I had to shut down manually (I tried holding the butthon to choose shutdown but everything was frozen).
Then the SD card shows as corrupt.
can't unmount and can't format through the settings.
Got to do it from the top drop down menu. Then choose the sdcard and it asked if I wanted to format.
I've experienced this as well twice already. First is after uninstalling nDrive which is installed on my external SDcard. Second is when i'm trying to copy files from my external SDcard to my pc. I was trying to access the internal SDcard at the same time while i'm copying the files from external SDcard then suddently my galaxy s MTP gave me a force close message. Then it froze and i have no choice but to press power button until it restarts. After restart my phone told me that my external SDcard is corrupted and needs to be formatted. Can't unmount it either so have to do the formatting via the notification area. Really annoying as my phone is less than 2 weeks old. I have this bad feeling that there is a hardware and software problem with my phone! I don't want to send it back yet as it would take ages before i get it again!
This is happening to me as well! The only quickfix was to copy manually without using my galaxy to copy them (just used a sd card reader).
Is this a widespread issue? Any fixes?
BUMP, anyone?
I have a problem (my friend also) on the Note, when I load videos on microSD, in any folder, they disappear after some time. I do not use Kies, but frequently I connect the phone with cable for external storage.
thanks
Hi,
no idea to solve?
Did you try doing a disk check?

...the strange thing is that a friend has the same problem...
^^ are those 720p videos ? or greater than 4gb in size ?
same issue
Most of the videos has been deleted from my micro sd card (32 gb) with my galaxy note. It is really frustrating,problem disappears if using phones storage. A fix is requested urgently cuz this not accaptable from samsung.

While connecting the phone to the PC it is possible that a program intended for synchronizing or importing media file to PC can delete the files from SDcard. So does "PMB Sony" for example. You can change it in options.
Same issue with samsung Galaxy s2
Same issue here. My device keeps deleting video files from my external 16gb microsd.
I put video files inside a folder (/media/video) and after some time the files disappear. The only thing that I do is plug and unplug from a pc mounting usb storage several times a day (i do not use Kies).
I also used a freeware program to recover deleted files from the microsd and found out that the files were marked as deleted (i had success in recovering).
This thing is starting to be very annoying.
I'm on MIUI 1.12.9.
Thanks
I confirm that I have the same problem.

If I store video on the phone memory (not inside te microSD), the problem persists,
without using Kies, where can I found the menu to change options?
thanks
recovery program
Can you tell please which recovery program you have used cuz i tried one program but couldn't recover them . Thx

This is true and I also can confirm this. I did not notice that my videos were missing until I saw this post and checked for my videos on my XD card and they were all gone What was odd was that the video which were transferred over from another computer to the XD card did not vanish but the videos which were recorded with this Samsung Note did all vanish WTF
I never did a sync either.
I really don't remember the used application 'cause I did it on a pc that i can not acces anymore. In any case, the application was free and i really found it on 5seconds search on google.
bye
I'm thinking of two things, neither of which are probably right
Firstly, I recently installed Window7 alongside my Linux Mint installation. On this I've noticed that if I copy files from Mint to the windows partition that Win7 often does a chkdsk thing on booting up and goes and deletes all these files ! I've never had this happen with any other version of Windows (Xp, etc). I'm wondering is there some filesystem 'tag' on your pc that makes the system think that file is corrupt or something and results in the files being hidden/deleted.
Secondly, I was looking on Amazon for a Sandisk sd card and I saw a review by a guy who said that many sd cards are fakes and not made by Sandisk at all. Apparently a lot of these have a much smaller capacity than claimed and as you add data they fill up and older data is destroyed. Here is the link

I never connected my Samsung Note to a Windows PC and the videos still vanished.
Same issue here..
First of all, I don't think it's a resolution issue because I have two similar videos, one disappeared while the other is still there.
Second of all, my videos are on the phone's memory and not an external sd.
If I go to folder details and check last modified date I notice that all folders from which videos have disappeared have been modified at the same time.
No solution?!
did anybody contact Samsung?
and could it be app "smart lock" causing this disappearance?
thanks
all of you developers out there.. anyone to help??
I might be wrong, but i think that those files aren't deleted at all. You may have a FOUND or LOST dir on you micro SD card with files in it that are the same size of the lost Videos.
I think this problem occures when you turn the phone off while it searches for media files on the card.
Try making a .nomedia file on your SD Card root folder, Stock players might not find any Videos after you've done that but you can easily open them with a Filemanager (ES FileExplorer).
.nomedia helped me

maybe I do not understand your proposal, but the problem persists if I put video in the memory of the phone (not external microSD) adn I do not find the file with File Explorer, so I think it is lost...
I remember some people complaining about this when the EVO 4G first came out as well & for some it seemed to be bad SD cards but there were also a lot of firmware changes happening so unclear about the determined cause. This is troubling & would not like to still have to worry about this if I purchase the SGNote. Sounds like backup & keeping an eye on this is necessary. Has anyone emailed Samsung?
When I found out my new Razr I couldn't use the SD card as a mass storage device, I was disappointed. I thought oh well, I guess it'll only be a problem if I ever want to take or dump files to friends computers but since having to rely on Moto's own device connection ways I'm getting a bit annoyed. First of all, if you want to "Move" a folder from for example, the root folder of the SD card into another folder, it's as if it's copying it bit by bit and takes AGES even in my USB 3 port. USB Mass storage has always treated the SD card like anything else in windows and will just move in a millisecond, but not this Also, I noticed upon transferring a folder which had 98 files, only 90 showed up on the properties once it was on the sd card I like to make sure transfers happened ok by comparing file sizes in bytes so this obviously throws it way off.
Has anyone come up with an alternative solution I wonder?
An alternative is a simple card reader
I think there were some experiments to get mass storage back, but i don't now if they succeeded...
But the new MTP - technology is better for the android system, it doesn't have to unmount the sdcard. and pc and android can parallel access the sdcard.
gesendet von meinem Motorola RAZR i rooted+unlocked
I guess they are some good reasons alright and yeah, I might have to start carrying a card reader so
Personally I like MTP, it's much faster than USB connection, but still it would be great to be able to choose from two options. I've read somewhere that even Motorola had problems with creating USB drivers, so it will be miracle if we see that option on our phone.

Airdroid.
There, i solved all your problems.
Never heard of airdroid, will check it out, thanks
MTP seems a lot slower than USB to me? Just the fact you can't "move" like I described is enough
Ok airdroid seems cool, but it seems not to be working properly for me, I've managed to view my sms on web.airdroid.com and the phone details etc come up right, but the internal and SD storage are both showing as 5.13gb with 1.34gb free when my SD card is 32gb.
Also it's giving errors on trying to open photo/video/app folders.
Like the idea so if it can work it'd be great.
Agree
I agree, it sucks!
It´s so slow the cable connection, that it reminds me my old moto V360´s one. Unbelievable!

It's strange because Airdroid works fine for me (expect the phone details but it's not a big bug)

Works pretty well for me. Maybe you modified something?
Did you test it today? I saw great ratings for it this morning when I downloaded it first but then later today I checked back and the latest ratings were saying it wasn't working.
Didn't modify anything at all really, tried both with an account and without an account and same issues.
Hooking up Razr i to PC really sucks cause you always need to install drivers and Motorola application when you plug into a new PC (and remove they after, when PC is not yours). But I think wi-fi transfer sucks too cause it's slower. =(
When I need to transfer small files I use X-Plore app on Android. X-Plore can access shared folders on your network. It works like a charm!
When I need to transfer big files, I preffer to plug on USB. There's no other way...
I having some issue with my phone. Copying files from internal storage is difficult. It is very slow. There is only about 6 GB of data there but the process extremely slow. It makes my computer hang most of the time. I tried to do it several times and only succeeded only once. Is there anything that is wrong? My device is not rooted.
Any advise?
Any advise for this issue?
Using USB-A as well as the USB-C the phone is connected. It reads the phone, but only pictures, videos, and audio files can be seen on File Explorer, not docx, pdfs, apks, zips, or exe files, etc.. Apparently the PC/Laptop only read the phone as a Multi-Media Device.
Can only transfer Media files from Phone to PC. Can't transfer any files from PC to Phone.
No issues with other phones: s9, s10, or s20. Even tried other brand new laptops running recent Windows-10, same issue.
I have uninstalled and re-install the Samsung USB Drivers. Windows 10 automatically updateed the drivers just for it to remove the "caution" symbol in the Device Manager as a multi-media device.
Is it a Samsung issue? Or is it a Windows issue?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
After updating optional Samsung updated drivers on Windows 10. That did allow me to bring files over to the laptop. But I am not able to carry over files to the phone.

Thanks for the reply. It seems to do the same thing even when I use the cable that came with the phone. Could be a Windows 10 issue?
This is a 4-year-old laptop that's been acting rather strange since the Windows 10 updates the past few months. It's about time for a factory reset anyhow. Hopefully it will work after the reset.

That didn't work either. I even did a factory reset on my laptop and still the same. I will factory reset the phone and maybe that will fix the issue. (Is there a possible setting in the phone that can cause this?)
FYI, pictures on my phone in the file explorer can be seen, but files like APKs do not show up as if they are not there according to the laptop file explorer, even when I try to view hidden files they don't show up.
Maybe this helps https://www.diskpart.com/articles/s...move to further,Disk Management and try again.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately none of these worked.
Even on a friend's brand new windows 10 laptop of a different brand, still have same issues.
Remember, my phone is connected. But, certain files like APKs are not even shown. I can transfer the files that can be seen to the Laptop. But I can't send any files from PC to phone whatsoever. It will show the transfer window, but after about a minute, the window will close with an error beep/alert and the transfer will stop.
Seems like only pictures, videos, & music will show on the file explorer, not apks, zips, or software type files. No issue with older phones on s20, s10, etc..

It seems that PTP option is set by default, maybe you can check in the dialogue under developer options that by default is set to transfer files.
Also you should disable all the related security actions over USB under security and developer menues..
In the meantime till you can solve it you can transfer some files through adb push command, it´s a little tedious but can save you by now. Also is the app Link.
It´s really strange some time ago without trying exactly everything though I couldn´t communicate my A70 with PC but then for other reasons I did a clean installation of Windows (not using preserve files and apps) for repartitioning purposes and surprisingly it started to work just fine.

Thanks for the advice. None of the above helped. Maybe just have to wait until the next Windows 10 or Samsung Software update, and go from there. *Shrugs*
Update: It seems to only connect as a Multi-Media Device. I'm guessing that is why it only shows Images/Vids/Music. Nothing else appears on File Explorer, not even docx or pdfs. I can only send the media files to the PC but no files can be moved into the phone.
any help would be gladly appreciated!
Thanks to all those who tried to help. After doing a factory reset on the phone, as well as a the Windows Samsung 2.17 USB drive update. Everything works fine now.
