I think he means when connecting the S3 to the computer with the SD card inside of the phone.
I'm just throwing out my thoughts... you could try disabling the default transfer method of the S3, which is MTP. When connected there's an option to disable MTP. Maybe that could work...

Click "connected to PC" in states bar when you connected to PC, but I don't think it's gonna work as default is MTP, and other one is only for photo, pictures, video, don't know if it can transfer other files

why does it take so long to copy directly from PC to GS3? (vs. using a card reader)

why does it take so long to copy directly from PC to GS3 via USB cable?
(vs. using a card reader)
I tried several different 16GB and 64GB cards.(Kingston, Sandisk, Samsung OEM)
It always take longer whey copying from PC to GS3. When using a card reader,
it's always a lot faster....
Im no expert but i think its down to the MTP connection system used in the gs3 rather than USB mass storage.
Try to use dedicated "USB mass storage" mode instead of mtp.

Are you running XP or Win7? I had the same problem with my notebook at the office that has Win XP installed. I installed the latest Samsung drivers (can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956/) and that solved it for me. Hope it helps.

Theres a workaround somewhere I saw on xda which allows you to use your external sd-card as UMS instead of MTP

I'd like to try but I don't see such option on my S3. Is this available on stock ROM?
it's an app, check the themes and app section here

Doubletwist SD Card fix?

Anybody been able to get Doubletwist to use the removable SD card? I have a lot of music and a 32 gig card so it would be nice if my favorite player would see my storage media. Thanks in advance.

I don't know what to tell you, dude. Maybe try going to settings, applications, and clear cache for Double Twist and also for Media Storage.

Just installed doubletwist and put in my 32gb sd, found all the music automagically. Only thing I can think of is your card needs to be formatted. Fat32 I believe, not sure because mine worked however it was already formatted.
It's weird because titanium sees it fine. So does root Explorer. I'll try format and re transfer my media.

Ok clearing the cache and data for Doubletwist and media storage worked. Now to test air sync.

Ok so doubletwist will see the music on the sd card, but the pc client won't sync to the removable sd card this is either through usb or air sync. It sees the phone, and will sync to the internal storage, but i can't tell it to use the removable storage. I'm thinking it has something to do with not being able to mount the SD card as mass storage, which i read somewhere on here is not happening with the LGOG. Any thoughts?
Hello,
I also have issues with my external sd card and double twist (but also with other media files eg photos).
Yesterday I synced 14,11GB of music to my external sd card. I was able to play all of the music for a few hours, then over 10 GB "disappeared" or are not recognized / categorized as music anymore. All I can see via double twist, es file explorer and the phone memory (under settings) are 3,67 GB of music and 12,72 GB of "other". Via es file explorer I can also only see 3,67 GB in the actual double twist music folder on the sd card. When I send my pictures directly to the sd card they also disappear after a while, which is quite annoying... I am not sure if this is the notorious kitkat issue, but is there a solution to fix this that works? I tried nextapp sdfix and changing platform.xml as suggested in various other posts by adding: <group gid="media_rw" />
Unfortunately, none of these "fixes" worked for me. Is there a solution to this yet, besides buying a windows phone or an iphone...
Thanks for your help!

[Q] handcent question

Does anyhow know what the directory to save to the SD card is, to set in Handcent? I've tried almost every one I can think of, and none of them work, it keeps saving to the devices internal storage in /handcent/downloads.
The default I believe that it shows is extSdCard (I don't have my phone next to me at the moment, so I can't verify), but even then it still saves to the internal storage of the phone itself, whereas I'd like pictures that I get via MMS to be saved to the card (I've also done the "long keypress" on pictures I get and told it to save to the memory card, and it *still* saves to internal storage).
Thanks.
It should be /mnt/extSdCard.

I'll have to contact Handcent. It doesn't work in the Pro version either.

I thought application data could not be stored on the sd card. Just my two cents.

I wasn't thinking that photos sent via SMS/MMS would be considered as application data (but I guess it could be?). Just is/was easier to have all the photos my wife gets on her phone saved to the memory card, as opposed to directly to the device.

[Q] Strange issue with images.

Not sure if anyone would know how, but here we go. I found an old Micro SD Card, and thought it'd be cool to load some old pictures onto my DNA. When I go into my gallery, I see the entire image as a thumbnail. However, when I click the image, half of it is covered with a weird grey box. Anyway to restore the image?

I would suggest using a microSD to USB adapter (or if you have a card reader microSD to SD Adapter) pull the pictures via a computer. If you see the same issue, the actual photos are corrupt. However, if they are clear, you might want to just transfer via the computer, drop box or google drive.

Thanks man I will try that when I get home. It's just weird because the thumbnail is perfect but when I click on it half of it is gray. Is their anyway to fix the image if transferring it via computer doesn't work?

More than likely the images are fine, the file architecture has changed a few times so the card may not be in a proper format for your current android OS to read it correctly. In the case that the SD card/images are in fact corrupt, there isn't really a way to correct them. Find out via your computer first, there MIGHT be some tools that could help but it's a slim chance.

Have you got an external sd card? If so it could be faulty. Try running without it inserted.

Seems really the problem of SD card
It works normally without the SD card
But how can i solve the problem?
Get a new card, duh...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Try to first repartition the card. In many cases there are permission errors made by the stupid person who don't unmount the partition before pulling the card from the device or computer. But it could also be that the card is broken with it's hardware. Good luck..
Thanks all of you
after 3 times format the card
Seems OK now .......
But one more thing is i cannot play Real Racing 3, after loading then just crash
i dont think this also the problem of my SD card
