Ext SD card problems - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Can anyone help me with this problem?
I have a 32GB class 10 micro sd card and I have used it from s3.. when I went to put the card in my s4.. I was restoring some games from Titanium Backup and there is toast msgs saying External SD memory left 1.78mb..
How can it be if my card still have a storage of 25GB not used? Is the datas of the games in another partition or if I would need to format my sd card? To FAT or Exfat?

Look in the TWRP and or CWM folders and sub-folders on your external sdcard,
most likely you have many nandroid backups in those folders.
Or perhaps you have a lot of recorded videos on your externel sdcard.
If worst comes to worst copy all files and folders from externel sdcard to computer
and then remove the sdcard, connect it to computer and use this fat32 format utility
to reformat the card.
Here is the download link for the free fat32 format utility: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/FAT32format-Download-79375.html

I've had stupid Sh*t like this happen with my S4 as well - with both internal and external SD - so I just reformatted them (in Recovery! not in windows) and its fixed the issue.

[Q] How can I delete swap partitions on the SD card?

I created some partitions for the Spartacus Kernel awhile back. I'd like to remove them now. I've Odined back to a stock ROM but they are still there.
Not sure but maybe backup everything you want from your sd card to your computer and then format your sd card.

I tried formatting the SD card and that did not work. Thank you though.
Any other ideas?
Any help please?
There is free partition manager software available online that you can download to your PC to manage any partitions on your SD card (and PC hard drive as an added bonus).

[HELP] 16GB memory card automatically deletes files!!

Please guys help me to fix my 16GB memory that always deletes files(some files) inside my memory card.
Everytime I try to format using HP formatter it says 'device is protected'.
Please post some advice to make it work again. I still believe there's a solution.
Thanks in advance!

your title is not the same as ur content...
btw, by any chance have you set a password for your sd, if not are u using a card adapter? if yes then in the adapter unlock the SD

I dont see anything wrong with the title.
I can format the sd using any other tool except to HP formatter.
And yes everytime i transfer my files from 4GB memory card, after removing from the computer the contains of 16GB are not equally the same as to my 4GB sd. For example i copied my titanium(folder) back up from 4GB and transfer it to 16GB the folder becomes empty when.try restoring. Even my music files are automatically deleted after placing the 16GB to my phone. Thats the situation.
But the other files remain inside.

You can repartition your sd card correctly in cwm including adding any 2nd partition if required then copy files onto it from pc

64gb sd card problems.

Hello
I just bought a new 64gb micro sd card
But run into all kinds of problems...
Extracting rar files from my micro sd card won't work, I get the error "wrong header type".
Extracting the same files from internal works fine.
Extracting a movie from internal to external sd works but the movie will only play for about 1 minute and then it says
"Unable to play video"
Anyone got some ideas...

Did you tried to format your sd card? That should help with your issue.
probably fake sd card...
Most probably a fake.
Use H2testw to test the SD card:
