Bought the S2 today and after creating a new text doc using officesuite only then I realise the file cannot be saved onto the 64gb sd card I have installed, why is this so?
I have filed on this card, the tablet recognise them fine, play media files from it, read text from it etc... But I can't save documents onto it, receiving error access denied??
Please advise of how to get this to work without rooting (not keen on rooting at this stage because of warranty, will wait until warranty is over). Many thanks
Either root or ask the developer to update the app to properly request write permission to the sd card.
Work around, save to internal first then using stock file manager move to external.

The card is mounted
I guess I just have to work around it like asphy suggested, saved to internal memory then transfer to sd card, troublesome but

I have the same issue and i download large torrents .. is there any thing else i can do?
I think the problem is with Google.
I think from KitKat on they disabled write to SD card.
I don't like it either but there are workarounds.
Remember all the Nexus machines do not take SD cards.
Maybe if we pester them they will relent and give us back our rights - after all they are OUR machines.

Could yo share some of those workarounds, please.
I'd like to download Kodi content to the external SD card (or USB stick connected via OTG), for example.
Thank you.
The easiest way is by connecting the tab to a computer. The computer sees the SD card or the USB stick and is able to write to it.
This get's around Android's limitation as the computer is Windows.
Another way with a decent file app is copying to internal memory and then use the app to move it to the SD card.

Thanks for replying.
I don't understand, in your first example, how I'd be able to use that. When downloaded from the internet and writing to the SD card on the tablet.
Use the file manager app...find the file and move it the SD card from there...very simple..no need for a computer

I'm at my wit's end trying to get my Cappy to mount on either my personal MB Pro or my work PC laptop via USB. AT&T store I went to yesterday suggested a warranty replacement, but I want everything in order first.
Is there any way to do a Titanium Backup (have the Pro version) & save that folder w/o being able to mount the phone to my computer? If they master clear to fix it I wanna be able to restore easily.
Are you on a custom rom, how are you trying to mount?
You can buy an external sd, and move the titanium backup to it
Running stock JH7 rooted. Tried Dropbox with Root Explorer but couldn't get it to work with multi select. Then zipped without realizing Dropbox didn't support that haha.
Edit: How do I move to an external SD card without being able to mount?

Put an SD card in the phone, run TIBU, use MyFiles to move or copy the TIBU folder to the external SD on the phone, remove the sd card from the phone, stick sd into computer of your choice and copy to computer.
There's no need to connect the phone to the computer directly as long as you have a computer that reads an sd card. For that matter there is no real need to copy them to the computer. When you get the new phone stick the sd card in the phone, copy TIBU folder back to internal sd card and restore.

Worked perfectly. Hadn't even ventured into My Files because I was always using Astro/Root Explorer. Ironically, My Files made it much easier to differentiate external SD b/c of a different icon...knowledge for next time. Everything's backed up, unrooted & ready for a warranty replacement conversation (2nd so far).
Basically, what the title says.
There are a lot of data recovery applications if you search Google for "data recovery sd card". Not sure how well any work and someone may have recommendations but definitely don't write anything else to it

Try Recuva using a deep scan to try to recover any files you can. No guarantees.
You can recover data from sd card with card recovery software, see this solution: sd card data recovery
helped me last time.

Though recuva is very good in retreiving files from fromatted media, it is not the answer to his question.
His question was: Is there a way to UN-FORMAT a microsd card.
Recuva scans the formatted card, finds files and asks for a place on your PC to place the found and restored files in. Recuva does this job very well. BUT one thing recuva does not do is: Restoring the Root-tree.... And that suuuucks badly because you now have a map whit 100.000 files in it. Some sub-maps filled with files but you are not able to rebuild the tree to place it back to the SD memorycard.
So therefor i think the O.P. asked if there is a way to UN-FORMAT a microSD card...
And the question is still unanswered.
(Yes i can google, so that is not the answer where we are waiting for.....)

Hi Cocktail, I'm a Mac user, but I do have s0me experience with file recovery. Your SD Card will be formatted in the Fat 32 File format. Try this utility on your laptop to scan your SD card. Free App
Or try any other file recovery program that you might have access to.
I hope this helps. Anil

Hi Cocktail, if you reformat your SD card whilst in your phone. This will wipe the directory and any dodgy formatting but not any of your files. Then you can scan the SD card for files on your laptop. Recovery software can be told to search the entire logical structure of a volume, and ignore any formatting to find files. This normally takes a little or a long time, depending on the size of the volume.
I've done this on a 1 Terrabyte RAID 5 volume, that took a very long time (days), yours should be a lot quicker. But still that is what I would do.
DISCLAIMER: I am only suggesting a course of action. If your photos are life or death important, then find a company that will do file recovery for you for a price. Google will help you here.
If you follow my suggestion. Then having half decent Windows file recovery software would be very very helpful.
I hope this helps. Anil
When you put your SD card in your laptop do you not see it when you go to "My Computer"? On the SD card adapter it has a little lock on the side which you can flick up and down to lock it, maybe it's locked? (Happened to me before) Or try putting the SD card in a different phone and see what happens.
Sorry for my poor English.
Yesterday, i faced a problem of "SD card blank", I cannot access into the sd card no matter i tried in my phone or connect to my pc,
however i figure out that if i go to recovery mode, i can find my sd card and the file was entirely the same before.
I wounder can anyone of you can help me to get back my photos and videos, it is memorable for me and i nearly cry.
Please help me!!

If you don't find other solution, put the card in an adaptor and just copy them to the PC.
Have you by chance deleted a folder called external SD from your memory card, coz it formats your sd card. Try recovering files from sd card through connecting it via some other usb card reader.
there are programs, that can save the photos even if you format a disk or in this case a sd card...
let me find one for you,,,, don't know if it works...read in here...
http://www.easeus.com/resource/sd-card-format-recovery.htm.
of course there must be other programs better and free, I really don't know if this easeus is of any good...
never tried...
you must have a sd card reader in your pc of course...
thx guys
i tried to use other adapter and i find no change as i still can not found the sd card via pc.
i sure that i have not delete the file of external SD, it keep showing Blank SD on my 4x.
i am really frustrated about that...:crying:
Maybe sdcard got corrupted. Try formating the card from your phone if it gives you the option. I dont think this will be repeated.
sad..
in fact i dun care about do the sd card can function after all.
i just wonder can i get back my file:crying::crying:

may be your sd card has corrupted or it is fake, how long are you using it?
once i bought a fake 16gb card it worked good for few days and then the same situation as you are in. and i found no solution to recovery my files as it becomes strange, files are there but you can't use them anymore, can't delete them or copy them.
try using some partition manager after inserting your card into your pc and check if your card is there, and it's status.
if your card is fake, i have no solution,
if it's corrupted, it can be brought back to life by formatting or using other partition recovery tools i think.
i dun know whether it is fake or not, but i have used it for around half a year already.
i dun care whether it can come alive i just want to get back my data.
today i have send the sd card to a engineer, he said he fix it but it cost a large amount of money and i am not able to afford it.
and then he recover the sd card to the original situation.
it means that there must be a solution for it.
can anyone help:crying:
i had the same problem too. my 32GB went on and off after i dropped it from 1 meter high.
i used these two recover as much as my files as possible.

Help!
1) I cannot save correctly any file on my external 128GB SD memory card. PDF files are saved in a corrupted format. If I create with Total Commander a new folder, it gets deleted later on.
2) The tablet is not rooted.
3) I even tried to copy files via Windows to the tablet via USB-cable and I receive the same error.
Is there a way to check the SD card for errors through Android?
Thank you!
Agreed, doesn't matter which SD card I use.
I have the same issue, I've tried both a cheap, ebay purchased SD card and Samsung SD card from a store. I have the SM-T813. Both of the SD cards had exactly the same issue. I've not rooted the tablet yet, though this is a key reason I'd like to try rooting the tablet.
If this were my problem, I'd pop the card, put in in a USB reader, and try it out directly under Windows. It may need to be reformatted or even re-partitioned.
I contacted the manufacturer. I'll get a replacement because it's broken physically.
