Just Received Memory Card. Do I Need to Reinstall to Make Full Use of it? - Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers

I received my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 about 5 days ago. I got my memory card for it today and installed it in the tablet.
My question is this: Do I need to do a reset and a complete reinstall to take full advantage of the memory card?
Thanks for any help with this.

It may need to be formatted but if so, the tablet will prompt you to do it.

Sandisk Ultra 64gb sdxc Failed or has my phone Failed

Hi. This is my first post and i am hoping someone can advise me with their expertise.
I got a sg3 about 2 months ago now, love the phone i am currently running it on stock (non root) tmobile uk, its been working flawlessly, but my mates that are on the network 3 get updates through the air but not me.
So i downloaded samsung kies to update and that went fine until i realized that my 64gb sd card no longer works.
The sd card is recognized by my PC (Windows 7) in a card reader so the card should be ok. On my PC, I've tried reformatting the card to both NTFS and exFAT but the phone didn't like either one. With NTFS, the phone says that there is a blank sd card and doesn't give me the option to format it. With exFAT, I get the same message I got initially, where it first says "Preparing SD card" and then "Safe to Remove Card" and the only option available in the Storage settings is "Mount SD Card" and selecting this causes the same messages to be presented again.
Sorry for the essay i am really confused and frustrated any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
I'am nowhere an expert but you might try a wipe cache followed by a factory reset (no need to reset if it starts working after a reset naturally.

How do i do that on a windows 7 PC. thanks for the advise
Code:
Format /FS:FAT32 /QUICK X:
Or download one of those formatting tools that litter the interwebs like a plaugue.
You could also search for FAT32 here on the forum. You'll have hundreds of answers in about 2 seconds.

There is an app called undelete try that.
Not going to work and it's not samsung's fault. Android has moved away from UMS and is strictly using MTP.
And none of the undelete apps in the market work on mtp devices so I wouldn't waste your time.

I've used this with success for recovering files from my phone, not tried it on my tab but can't see why it wouldn't work for you.

Swyped from my finger to your face, on my Samsung Galaxy Note.
Try the undelete option from the tuneup utilities software with the tab mounted via cwm.
I've recovered some files from a USB pen drive some months back.

One good way to recover deleted files from Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 is to use an android data recovery software, see this guide: How to recover files from Samsung galaxy tab
Good luck.

Any one knows how? I also have same problem. Some people say can, some say can not.

I'm going to say that it can't be done. Deleting a file on android means it's gone forever. No recycling bin, no seccond chances. Sorry man. In the future do an automatic backup to Google Drive, then at least your pictures and videos will be safe.

Internal 2 External memory

Greetings,
I have been busy with this for 4-5 days now and nothing works.
i just resetted everything and started from scratch.
can anyone explain me how i change internal to external memory i gotten a :
64 GB Mobile Ultra microSDXC card Class 10 (30MB/s) SanDisk
And my firmware is:
4.2.2
My Phone is:
Samsung galaxy s4 GT-I9505
Hope someone can help this noob out.
Need my phone to be ready befor end of the weekend (holliday)
So all the help is welcome.
Installed:
Clockwork installed now
Superuser rights.
only need help how to install the external to internal memory now.
Im not quite sure what youre getting at but ill give it a shot. Theres no way to swap the internal to external memory. Apps and their data get stored on the internal storage. By default theres only a couple things you can have saved to the external memory card. There is an app called folder mount that allows you to save apps/data on the memory card though.

Thats what im tryng now.
Tobad clockwork is not working again
you know a good 1 thats works for GT-I9505?
Thats a mod, i generally refer to conventional means of doing stuff. Anyway ive never used that and it doesnt store everything on the sd. Apps still get saved to internal storage while data/resources get saved to external. Like I said I would check out folder mount. See if that suits your needs.

Installed recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.2-i9500.tar.md5
Altho it was for i9500 it worked.
Then i format to factory settings, then i checked and i could still boot to clockwork used the phone a bit installed superused rights.
then i tryed to put on factory settings again and did not boot anymore to recovery and also not to clockwork.

Once you install a custom recovery yoj cant boot to stock recovery because its overwritten by the custom version. Thats a mega thread for everything i9500 and i9505. I would try reflashing the recovery to see if it fixes it. If not you might have to odin back to stock. This is also the verizon specific forum for the s4 so posting in your devices specific forum would probably get you more help.

Thanks for all the help ill reinstall the offical firmware hope that helps the solution.
ill try the folder mount hope it works becoas my phone is full fast when i download a couple of games.
Not a problem. Glad i could point you in the right direction. If you made any backups you might want to move those to external storage. They are fairly large. I have a couple 1 gig+ games and several smaller ones and still have 5 or 6 gigs left.

Well the main problem was when i install a couple of games the main memory is full way to fast
thats why i wanted and hoped the swap would help the problem.
tho i just made more problems and consumed to mutch time :silly:
i think i just have to stick around on the problem and hope samsung will fix of have a solution to this in time.
i did not make any backups. so i just have to start frome scratch tomorrow.
thanks for all the help again and gl helping others.
You could also try the app Folder Mount in the Play Store here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en this will allow you to put the "data" folders associated with larger apps on the SD card. If you are looking to swap internal to external memory the other suggested thread will help you do that. There are pro's and cons to it and when you factory reset or change ROM's you need to do it all over again.

Dump your SD card, as it appears fried.
Reflash the rom, get a new card, and put your backups on your internal memory for the time being.

I can't recommend brands, since I haven't bought one in years (still using the 16 GB one I had in my E4GT), but I'd go with the Sammy if you like, since they made the phone. Probably a safe call.

before you get rid of your sd card if you don't mind i have a few question?
1. why if your going custom rom would you do step 2? you had no need to root it if you were doing step 3 and installing a custom recovery/rom.
2. do you have a sd card adapter for micro sd? can you see if the computer sees it....
3. if pc doesn't detect it. can you look under windows disc management ... tell us if you see a unallocated space matching sd size?
4.also what format was sd fat32 or or exfat?

i was under impression you need root to instal custom recovery (bin a long time since messed with android)
yes pc see's and write to it so does phone just after reboot or sometimes taking it out of phone or pc and swamping it to phone or pc it gets damaged (yes i unmount it first)
i formatted it both with note 3 and windows as fat32
I am having the same exact issues, did you ever find any solutions to this?

Ok I don't know if it works but it is worth a try. You have to remove the sd card from your device. Then erase it clean with your PC by placing the sd card in a adapter or if PC will run the sd card with out it great. Download the unbrickimg and copy and paste it to to the erased sd card bootup the device. The unbrickimg gives the device the ability to get back to download mode so you can odin flash a new stock OS. Here is the link http://www.mediafire.com/download/c396cy9uxyg7mck/debrick.img. This all I know I have it just in case I never have had to use it. The unbrickimg is for a SM-N900P
