Ok, so a strange thing has happened. Immediately after a reatart I now can't move apps to my SDCard.. and apps that i had previously move have now disappeared from the app drawer. And are grayed out on the home screen with a little sdcard symbol. The SDcard is working fine in all other respects i can read and write to it just fine..
Has anybody else experienced this or can suggest a reason as to why this may have happened.

I've had this before on a previous sd card, just before it died, what model sd Card and where did you purchase it from?

Its an actual Samsung EVO 64Gb. I bought it from Harvey Norman - where i bought the phone from... not even a week old.

Can you access other files on the card? Try ejecting it (in Settings / Storage), popping out the SIM card holder to make sure the SD card is seated properly, then reinstall it.
Yep, i can read and write to the card fine.. all my files are there. The strange thing is the ability to move to SD card was there prior to restart... now its gone.. but for all other things the card is fine..

Can you see any items in the LOST. DIR folder?
Same thing, I just ejected and re mounted it. it fixed it
How much are you able to move? Is it still a small part of an app?

There is nothing in the LOST.DIR folder.
At the moment i cant move any part of an app to the SD card. The option to do it has disappeared...

If I was you, i would back up the sd Card and then use an sd Card checker to run a test to make sure nothing is wrong with it,

Probably a good idea. Do you have any recommendations on a good SD Card checker..

Put this into Google as you may have to use Google Translate, but the program is in English, great program. It may take a while but let it go all the way to the end.

My phone reset itself for no reason. It was laggy so I restarted. When it rebooted, all the apps I had installed wod force close (samsung default apps worked fine) and all my personal info was gone (phone nos, contacts, settings, etc).
When this happened first two times, i replaced my phone. Now it happened on the replacemwnt SGS.
I am thinking it may be the sd card (I am using an 8gb external sd I have from my previous Moto Mestone). I've been running for about a week with no reset since I took the card out from the phone. I would however like to use the sd card for the additional storage.
Anybody know if the sd card could have been the problem and maybe how to fix it?

Yes, it sounds like this
Did you already try to boot the phone without the external-SD-Card being plugged in? Or just tried booting with another external SD-Card?
If not, copy over your data form ext. SD-Card to your PC and reformat the external SD-Cardwithin the system settings.
Maybe there are some system files from your Milestone left which SGS doesn't like
Installed Darky's rom. Do not seem to have that problem anymore.
Thanks

I have this problem were the sd card will not take anything on it. If I place a new folder and a picture on it, it erases itself on its own. Or I'll put a album on there and maybe 5-8 songs might appear. I am running passion ics with a 32gb sd card. Just want to know if there is a zip that needs to be flashed or if this is a problem. Thanks for reading!

i had a lot of issues with a sd card that i used with my computer or camera before using it on the phone. search for a program called SDFormatter and format your card. you should be ok after that

At first I was a little worried about using this program, but I ran it and it worked for about 2 hours. Out of no where the music that I was moving over kept disappearing and stopped allowing me to copy files from the pc to the sd. I tried formatting the card after that and I was allowed to put the files that were on there before formatting but nothing after that. Is there any other solution to this fiasco that I am faced with!
I have a similar issue. I haven't tried writing anything to my SD card, but it looks like its empty in MIUI and ES file explorers. I can boot into recovery and see that the files are there. Any suggestions?

I bought a brand new class 10 SD card and I tried it with the s3 and worked fine. When I got my new galaxy S4, I format the SD card and put it in the St and again I format it from the phone itself. I put my picture and song. Then when I turn the device off and back on again it will tell me the SD card damaged need format. But when I go to setting, Storage. And mount the SD card it will work just fine.
Can anyone tell me what is the problem? because it is really frustrated

Try formatting on your pc with exfat and then reinsert the card in your s4.
Have been getting that on mine also. I reboot and then it works fine. Not sure I actually thought I had damaged mind by maybe not

Thanks guys I will try that. Might help

This happens a lot on my S3 and the only long-term (but not permanent) fix I could discover was formatting in the computer like the guy above stated. I always keep a backup of my phone ext. sdcard on my laptop to make sure that if it happens and can't get it to work I still have my data, I recomend people to do the same.

I also have been getting this problem with a 64 gb card. It must be a bug. So far, I just reboot and it seems to read it fine. I noticed it also throws me into safe mode on the phone if I reboot too often. I'm not sure exactly how it is triggered.
I had the same issue, it happened when I removed my SD card from my S3 without "safely ejecting" it from the Storage menu. I plugged it into a computer, and went to a command prompt and ran "chkdsk d: /f" where "d:" is the letter of the SD card and it fixed the filesystem and all of my files were back and my card was perfectly usable again.
Hi guys,
I was trying to back up my nova feature to my SD card and for x reason it didn't work. Saving to internal storage work but that would be useless when wiping for a new ROM, I noticed I can't transfer files from my device too ( internal to SD gotta be done by computer). SD card is a 32gb Kingston
Thanks

Hi There
Google has blocked the permission to write to sd card.
easiser solution is download SDFIX from google play.
root required.
Any idea why did they did? I'll try it, thanks

It happens kk4.4 or later.

Use Samsung's own app for file moving, worked for me with with multimedia files.
Save it to phone memory then transfer to sd card using my files app.

SDFix definitely fixes the issue if you are rooted. Android 4.4 changes the stock permissions, so apps only have read/write permissions to folders that they create and can't write to folders created manually or by other apps. SDFix restores permissions to how they were prior to 4.4. Its less secure, but it allows programs like Titanium Backup to function again.

I have no problems with nova backup to sd on my s4,and its on 4.4 too
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Right now there isn't a way to change the folder where the Nova backups are stored (/sdcard/data/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/backup). What you can do next time is make your backup and then copy it to your SD card or PC. When you do your next reset you can copy that backup file back to where it's expected to be and be back in business. Kind of poor coding that you can't just save it to your SD in the first place...
Omega ROM doesn't have that glitch.
An app called File expert can read/write to external xd card without root. They have sorted this issue out
Sdfix did work guys. I used it to backup Nova setting on ExtSd

So i recently Updated to NK2 and everything was just normal, until lately i kept on trying to save a pic or an Mp3 on my sd card with no success, so i decided to format itto see if the issue would go away.
To my surprise i tried to format it and it wont let me, i tried on my phone , on my Pc, on a ubuntu Pc and it would say "format successfu!" yet I would insert the sd card on my phone and everything was still there!.
i dont know what else to try!.
it wont let me save, erase or ,format the Micro sd!.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
P.s.: It's a "SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1"
Have you tried formatting as root? There could bave been some weird permissions fluke that happened. Is your device rooted? You need root to enable being able to write to the sd card yourself from the phone, otherwise only apps can if i understand it correctly.

yeah I'm rooted and all.
The case is that my Micro sd card happens to be a bad batch of cards which I recently found.
I was researching on it and this card happens to lock itself, apparently there is no way to unlock it, according to Sandisk.
so I contacted Sandisk and see if I can excange it (Hopefully, I am Still under warranty) otherwise I'm stock with a card full of music and pictures I no Longer want, and that it wont save any other files , until i buy myself a new one.
thanks thought!

Sandisk cards have lifetime warranties as long as you have proof of purchase your good to go. I exchanged mine with no issues but I ended up getting a 64gig Samsung card.
