Sandisk Micro SD Card

Hi sbdags,

I don't want to pester but thought I'd just give you a little nudge to see if you can provide any more help with this issue?

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

Hi,

I didn't get an e-mail notification that I'd had a reply, so Ive only seen this when i posted the nudge above.

I did wonder about testing them but as I bought both of them from reputable high street chain stores, didn't really think it was necessary. That said, it would eliminate another doubt, so I'll test both of them once I get my pc sorted (I've just spent over £1500 on a high spec custom build & it's arrived with huge issues, not least that it's not been overclocked, which I'd paid extra for, hence my delay in responding sometimes).

Thanks for the link :)

What are you nudging me about? I have 3 sandisk ultra cards and all 3 work but then I use FAT32 and don't have huge files over 1GB to copy.........
[Asus Transformer TF700] dan5001:
Can't Copy Files to Sandisk/Samsung SD Cards

Hi sbdags,

The nudge, as I said, was to ask if there was anything else you could suggest that might help me to actually be able to use these cards. I know it's not your responsibility to get them working but without help, I have no chance of doing it. I nudged you because you seem to be one of the most helpful/knowledgeable people on the forum & because you have had previous input.

Apparently, you have nothing else to offer by way of help but I didn't know that until you said it.

Thanks for your help thus far. I'll see if anyone else can help. Other than that, I guess I won't be able to store films on the cards for when I'm travelling, which was one of my main reasons for buying them & the tablet itself in the first place. :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Always willing to help .... Which formats have you tried? Is it always files over a certain size. Up to 1GB seems to work fine for me. What is the largest you have managed?

Sorry just read back through the thread and I can see we went through all this 3 to 4 months ago. :)

Did you upgrade to the latest CROMi-X?

Maybe the Asus mmc controller is just crap with large files?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dan5001:
Can't Copy to Micro SD Cards

Hi sbdags,

At the moment, I'm on CROMi-X 5.2.2 - 10.6.1.27.5 WW DEODEX, which I see isn't now the latest version but it was when I last updated it, with, exactly as you seem to be thinking, the hope that updating to the newest version would resolve my issues. However, as updating hadn't made any difference, I haven't bothered again since. I guess I could try updating to the newest version to see if it resolves the issues I'm having but I won't be holding my breath :(

With regard to the size of files, if you've looked back, I guess you'll have seen that I've tried different file sizes & types with similar issues. The video files I've been trying to copy are episodic TV files. I have tried to copy a folder containing, for example, 5 series of a show, & also one series folder at a time, again, with much the same results; a few of the files work fine but then most of them don't. I haven't tried doing it episode at a time, purely because that would be a pain & I was hoping to find a solution to the problem, so that I wouldn't have to do that. If it turns out that that is my only option, maybe I'll do that, or maybe I'll just use the portable USB Samsung HDD that I have also tried to copy to, which seems to work fine but again, that's adding to the amount of stuff I'll need to carry around & the point of the tablet & the micro SD cards was so that I didn't have to carry loads of stuff around with me.

I don't know what the 'MMC contoller' is but would it count several, roughly 300-350Mb files, as a large single file if I try to copy them all at once, & if it was a problem with the ASUS software, why would transferring data to my external USB HDD be possible but not transferring to my micro SD card?

The only up side to all this is that both myself & my girlfriend are due to upgrade our mobile 'phones soon & as we're both likely to be getting the HTC One M8 (myself definitely), at least we can use the cards in those, so they won't have been a complete waste of money!

I really do appreciate your comments & advice, so thanks again :fingers-crossed: :)

I had a similar issue ESFile explorer could write to SD cards but titanium backup and other apps could not. This was on cromix 5.4 and the problem stayed when I recently upgraded to crombi-kk. Came across a similar issue on my phone when I explored a different ROM yesterday and found a fix recommended for that issue. Have tried it on the tf700 and it fixed it there too. The fix was to install and run an app called NextApp SDFix. It has worked for me. It's on the play store and is free
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:

Can't Copy Files to Sandisk/Samsung SD Cards

Hi fatboyinlycra,

Thanks for your reply. I've tried copying & pasting the name of the app into the Play Store search but nothing comes up which matches exactly; there is a company called NextApp but they don't seem to have an app called SDFix & there are obviously a few different apps that claim to provide the fix you've described & hopefully, the one that will end my year of micro SD card misery :crying:

I've also tried reading the thread in your last post but it I didn't see anything on page 18 that you linked to.

Maybe I'm being a bit lazy here but without me having to read all 22 pages of that thread on my incredibly slow internet connection &/or install loads of different SD Fix apps only to find that they don't work, I don't suppose you could post a direct link to the app that fixed your issues on the Play Store online, could you? That way I'll know I've got the correct app & I'll be able to lavish you with my gratitude :victory:

Cheers

[Asus Transformer TF700] fatboyinlycra:
You beat me to it! I've been out most of the day and this is the first chance I've had to reply :) .

I am not saying this will fix your issue but it did for me.

From the technical blurb, this is what it does...

NextApp SDFix will modify the configuration file located at /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml to allow apps to write to the MicroSD card. Specifically, SDFix will add the Android UNIX group "media_rw" to the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission's configuration. This will enable apps (only those that you granted write access permissions to when you installed them) to write files to the MicroSD card. On many devices, this is effectively reverting the state of this permission back to the way it was configured in Android 4.3. This modification is carried out by modifying the existing XML file, rather than replacing it.

A backup of the original configuration file will be saved at /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml.original-pre-sdfix (provided one does not already exist). Reverting this modification can be accomplished by using a root -enabled file manager to replace the /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml file with the backed up version.

Clever people like sbdags, _that, lj50036 and berndblb would all know how to modify this file from a command line but this works for mortals like me.

[Asus Transformer TF700] mikmock:
Hey guy's, I'm not sure if am on the same wavelength here but isn't this the Write to External SD card issue that Google started with 4.3 and now with KitKat 4.4? I have never noticed any problems until I started using kk, (at least my doc's & spreadsheets are now "read-only").

I also read that custom rom's specifically CM11 had already fixed it in their code but I seem to still have it even after flashing CROMBi-kk 20140517. I checked the platform.xml file; WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and it doesn't have the "media_rw" line.

At this point I am not totally confident about adding it into the .xml file after reading the conflicting documentation as well as my conflicting brain, so I thought I would throw it out to you Guru's to see if i'm even on the same planet.:D I hate to install an app if all it is going to do is change a couple lines of code.

Thanks and as always; CROM(B)i ROCKZ!!! :good::good::good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] dan5001:
Thanks.......But I'm Puzzled?

Hi berndblb & fatbotinlycra,

Thanks for your responses & the link to the SD Fix app :)

However, I'm somewhat puzzled because when I go to the play store, the app says that it's not compatible with my device as it stands, presumably because I haven't yet upgraded to CHROM(B)i-KK but that being the case, the permissions that allow writing to the external SD card should be present, shouldn't they? In which case, surely, with the version of CHROM-X I'm currently running, the recent KK change to write permissions isn't what is causing my problem?

Are you guys thinking that I should upgrade to CHROM(B)i-KK, knowingly create the problem & then fix it again, in the hope that that resolves my external SD write problems? I'm not adverse to trying this but it does seem that the write permission issue isn't likely to be what's causing my current problems, given that the permissions should be present? Am I missing something?

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

Hey fatboyinlycra,

Like you, I'm not even in the same ball park as those guys, so thanks for the info! One question though; had you already upgraded to CHROM(B)i=KK when your problem occurred, or were you on an earlier version like I am? The answer almost seems obvious, given that the Play Store tells me that the SD Fix app isn't compatible with my device as is but I'm wondering if you noticed the issue on an earlier CHROMi version, upgraded to CHROM(B)i-KK, still had the problem & then the app fixed said problem?

I appreciate your help so far :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You are correct. The restrictions for apps to write to the microSD has been introduced with KitKat, so you should not have that problem on CROMi-X - or your problem is not related to this new "security feature" in KitKat.

I only stream movies, I never download them to the tablet or a card - so I don't know how to help. Sorry.

But upgrading to CROMi-X 5.4 certainly is worth a shot....
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatboyinlycra:
I only noticed the problem when i was trying to use titanium backup to create a zip of my apps that i would be able to restore from recovery. At the time I was on Cromi-X 4.7. The problem persisted when I moved to 5.4 and eventually onto Crombi-KK.

The only reason I can think of (pure guesswork) is that when I first got this tablet, Crombi-KK was newly released and I immediately unlocked the tab and went straight to it, but then wiped and flashed Cromi-x4.7 because I didnt like the KK interface (still not sure having the buttons in the centre of the bar is a good idea on a 10" tablet), maybe some artefact of that early release Crombi-KK stayed on the tablet. I later went on to 5.4 and Crombi-KK.

Hi guys I would really appreciate some help with a problem I have with my UK GS3 1900. I have recently rooted and flashed it with a couple of different roms courtesy of the info on this forum and have been using lucky patcher to remove ads and license verification on a few apps I was trying. I installed SPB shell recently and used Lucky patcher on it and it seemed to have worked but this morning there was a message saying there was a problem with the license and to download another one from the playstore. Then my phone rebooted and it got stuck on boot logo so I tried to enter recovery holding down power+home+volume up but this wouldnt give me the recovery screen. I have read a lot of articles about how to reflash it with Odin but I am a little confused. I am trying to flash it with the zip file firmwares I downloaded but this obviously doesnt work as it is asking for .tar or .bin files and none of these show up when I am using ODIN. What firmware would I need to download to give me these files and then using Odin how would I install it. Any help is appreciated I have looked at all the threads before I posted this and cant find a solution. Some say to use pit files but I wasnt sure which ones and I didnt want to mess things anymore.

Is this the correct file cos when I went into the sammobile site put it my device details it gave me a 250mb file which never had a tar or md5 file in it.

[HTC Amaze 4G] snowlin:
im getting 475mb no problem,

try cleaning up - take off some unnecessary start-up items
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
it all depends what apps are running and how often the phone clears memory.

it would also help if he zipaligned the rom. (makes it more ram efficient)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Zackg111:
Thanks guys! Ill see what I can do!

How do I clear up start up programs. I go to check and its always about maxed out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] snowlin:
Theres an app that was included with the rom called something like "auto start app manager", open it and uncheck all the programs you dont need at startup. also with this rom if you hold down the home button on the phone it shows you currently running apps with a button to kill all, thus freeing up more memory.

also look into zipaligning like ziggy said, i believe the "Pimp my Rom" app on the play store has an option for it.

if you want better sound, buy better headphones/earphones. really, the default player is good if your hardware is good ;)

[General Questions and Answers] jsin44:
Hello. I am looking for android software that will allow me to attribute multiple tags to individual folders and files. By doing this I can organize them into as many virtual folders as I like according to their tags. I currently use Evernote which does exactly this but all files have to be converted into Evernote format and synced using their cloud server. If I could apply my own tags using the native android file structure I could simplify my organization and not have to use Evernote.

I found software that I think does this for windows (Tabbles.net) but it is not developed for android.

I seached for alternatives for Tabbles for android on alternativeto.net but had no luck.

Anyone know of software like this for android? Or could suggest another place to search for it?

Thanks.

I think this is what you are looking for, i'm not sure because i haven't understood you so much (bad english :p)
[General Questions and Answers] ronzzz92:
Not really understood what you're talking about :rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] jsin44:
Okay, I'll try to explain it better. Android (and most other platforms have a tree-like file structure. Files are stored in folders and subfolders. To find a specific file or folder, you find a parent folder and work your way down to the folder/file you want. The "Folder Tag" application recommended above (thanks xacobe97) allows you to bookmark a folder so that you can find it easily later. I want to add multiple tags to a file so that I can organize it under multiple headings.

For example, the word file "LG G2X Screen Protector" could have the tag "Phone reference" so that I have the information on hand, and the tag "Errands" so that when I look under that tag I see that I need to go out and buy one. This is exactly what Evernote and many other productivity software titles do, but you have to convert all the files you want organized to their file format. I would like some kind of file manager that can tag any type of file, and make these programs unnecessary. It would also allow me to use my preferred office app to edit files, not whatever editor comes with Evernote or whatever else.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
