The phone stopped seeing the internal memory. Why doesn't my phone see an SD or microSD memory card - all solutions

Despite the current version of the Android operating platform in your smartphone, as well as regardless of its other technological indicators, a situation may arise when your gadget stops recognizing the memory card.

Of course, the problem may be in the flash drive itself, which may simply burn out or its free space has been exhausted, but the problem may lie in the serviceability of the flash reader. But, don’t immediately panic and take your phone to the nearest service center for help.

Ways to solve the problem

    To start try restarting your smartphone. The problem may be with the operating system itself. Traditionally, rebooting the OS helps fix minor system failures, which immediately disappear when loading a new work session. If the reboot does not help, then the system option can be safely discarded;

    Now you can try pull out the card directly, carefully wipe all contacts and put it back in its original place. The problem may be a simple clogging of the contact surface, due to which your Android the phone does not “see” the removable storage device;

    You can also test your memory card on another smartphone. This will help eliminate the possibility of your device breaking down. If another gadget doesn't see your cardmicroSD, - that means the problem lies there;

    In most cases, The failure of the flash drive is due to incorrect formatting. To restore optimal functioning of the memory card, you need to reformat it using a PC (preferably from a laptop). To perform this operation, you must:

    • Place your flash drive into the card reader;

      Wait until map will not become accessible on the computer (perhaps its status will be reflected as unformatted);

      Right-click on the name of the built-in storage;

      Check the “Format” box;

      The file system must be designated as FAT32, because the Android system does not see formats like NTFS;

      Check the “Start” option;

Then disconnect the memory card from the PC system, insert it into your mobile gadget, and check whether it starts working or not.

If the problem could not be solved, then the problem is in the physical condition of the card, and this problem can only be solved at a service center.

Problems with internal memory

In practice, there is another way to solve the problem when Androiddoes not see external memory devices. The failure could have occurred when the operating files responsible for optimal reading and playback of data from removable media were accidentally deleted.

In most Rooted devices, the built-in media may break when an inexperienced user accidentally confirms the deletion of system files.

Of course you can try turning it off device and turn it on again. If this does not help, then you should open access to Recovery mode.

Operations in mode Recovery

    With the gadget turned off, hold down the power and volume down buttons (as a rule, each manufacturer of mobile gadgets independently sets the combination of buttons);

    In the special menu that appears on the display, click on the line Winecachepartition;

    Reboot your device;

This method should solve problems with the maximum SD carrier.

What to do if the phone does not see the memory card? Since I often get asked this and similar questions, I answered them all at once in this article. It will be useful to owners of cameras, Samsung, Lenovo phones, laptops - in general, all those devices that support a memory card and refuse to read the data on the card.

First, some technical details describing the problem. Let's say, as a result of some manipulations, a mobile device (phone, tablet, smartphone) stopped identifying a memory card (SD card) even through a card reader. All data is written to, bypassing the memory card itself. This is inconvenient because the SD card is not used, while the memory of the mobile device quickly fills up. Productivity decreases accordingly.

So, the problem is described in detail, let’s move on to diagnosing the phone, smartphone, tablet. Let's look at the most common reasons why phones don't see a memory card (flash drive) and how to fix this defect on your own using a card reader.

The phone does not see the SD card due to an incorrect file system format or a damaged file table

Cause of the problem. 1) The file table on the SD card was damaged and the markings were lost. 2) You formatted the memory card yourself, as a result of which the phone stopped seeing the flash drive. 3) SD card file system is unknown (used in another operating system)

How to fix. 1. Find out the size of your flash drive. If the microSD capacity is greater than 32 GB, it is most likely formatted in exFAT. Not all versions of Android support this file system.

2. A quick way to fix the problem is to reboot the phone in recovery mode and select the Wipe cache partition option in the Android service menu. This command will clear the contents of the SD card and format the media in the FAT32 file system - it is best suited for storing files on the phone.

Note. We would not advise inexperienced users to perform this procedure: if you mistakenly format the wrong partition, you will lose all the data on the phone, including files in the internal memory.

3. A safer (and more convenient) method of formatting an SD card is through a computer. You will need a card reader and SD Formatter software. It will help you format the flash drive properly.

4. You can try low-level formatting - however, not all manufacturers offer their own software for this (check the memory card website).

The memory card of the phone (tablet) has failed

Cause of the problem. As a result of mechanical / thermal damage incompatible with life, the phone stopped seeing the memory card or the SD card stopped working. Alternatively, the phone has stopped detecting the flash drive; on other devices the card is also unreadable.

What to do. Alas, nothing can be done with a damaged SD card. All you have to do is purchase a new SD card that is compatible in size and specifications with your smartphone or tablet. The most unpleasant moment is that all the data that was stored on the memory card of an Android or iOS phone is completely lost. You will no longer be able to restore them - neither by connecting your phone with a flash drive via USB, nor through a card reader.

If the flash drive is still under warranty and looks like new (no visible damage), try returning it to the store. If you're lucky, you'll get a brand new replacement card.

Check for bad blocks (bad sectors) via HDDScan

The problem is doubly unpleasant, because the phone was purchased a month ago. I decided to transfer some audio-video files from my old phone. The new smartphone is j7, and the old one is also Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo... The data transfer took place without any emergency situations.

About a week later I looked at the sd, and the card did not appear from my native “my files”. I looked through the xplore file explorer. All the folders were displayed there, but they turned out to be empty. But it’s important to add this: the phone’s memory also contained music and some video. So, they were displayed, but they were not “empty”, but refused to be reproduced - “reproduction error”. This never happened on an old phone with any sd and different ages, it certainly happened, but not this. And this recorded card can be read normally on the old phone, no problems.

For me, the main thing is, as you understand, the question is the phone, is that the reason? Such refusals to read in a month happened twice with internal memory, and four times with sidishna. Reboot - and everything is fine. But is this not at all the norm for a phone?

Answer. There may be several reasons for this behavior.

Perhaps the cause of the error lies in your method of copying files from internal memory to external memory. Try different methods and test: for example, through a card reader on a PC, through a file manager on a phone, etc. Do the described reading errors occur in all cases?

However, since you noted that there are no problems with other flash drives, then perhaps the problem is with the memory card. Who is the manufacturer, is the SD card compatible with your phone model? Read user reviews.

Third, update the software on your phone and.

Fourth - the SD Formatter utility. Try different file system formats.

1. Last chance to find an answer to my problem. The Samsung galaxy not 5 (china) phone uses only its internal memory, and the flash drive is not detected. What I didn’t do... I checked the boxes, and inserted it into another mobile phone, formatted it, and this and that - it doesn’t help.

2. On the phoneSamsung Galaxy A3 memory card does not workmicrosdvolume 16 GB. For almost six months it was on the phone; all photos from the camera were automatically saved on it. The memory card has not been removed since it was placed in the slot once. I've been using the phone for almost a year. Previously there was another card with a capacity of 8 GB.

R.SI moved the card to another phone - he doesn’t see it either. And the computer doesn't recognize it either. What to do? On the flash drive are all the children's photos and videos taken over six months.

Answer. If your smartphone or tablet does not see the flash drive, the problem may be with an application that does not save files where needed. Check in the settings where the files are saved - on an SD card, flash drive or in the internal memory of your tablet/smartphone. For example, in the Android Gallery settings you can change the storage location for photos.

Re-read the article. If all else fails, then perhaps the phone does not see the microSD memory card because it is faulty.

The phone does not detect the memory card. I transferred everything to internal memory. When the card is disconnected, all files are read, but when connected, they are not. Now, when you disconnect the SD card, the internal memory is also disabled and there is nowhere to save information. Tell me what can be done if the memory card is not readable (if possible).

Answer. Did the memory card work before this time? The phone may not support this card model.

If the SD card worked before, you may need to format your card - and it will be writable again.

The question is formulated incorrectly: you write that when you disconnect the memory card, the files are read, while you say below that the internal memory is turned off. So where are the files read from then?

1. The phone worked with a memory card. They sent me a congratulatory video. You delete it and it appears again. I tried to reflash the phone, but it didn't work. It didn't detect any updates. After some manipulations in the recovery menu, it became different, detected updates, downloaded and installed them. It shows its own firmware, but with a more recent date.

After this, the SD card is not detected. Android does not see it and does not detect its memory. And other sd too. Without a card, the phone sees its memory and works fine. What to do if the phone does not see the SD card after a virus?

2. I put an SD card in the computer - everything reads well there, you can see. And the phone displays the message: SECURE REMOVE CARD. Why doesn't my phone see the memory card? What to do?

Answer. If the phone does not see the memory card, this may be due to damage to the file table on it. How this is related to recovery is unclear. Try formatting the SD card. If nothing changes for the better, change the firmware.

1. I bought a 4G micro flash drive for my phone, installed it in my computer via a card reader, copied the files and installed it in my phone (Microsoft Lumia 530). After some time, I installed it again in the card reader and connected it to the computer. Windows issued a message that the device is faulty and does not read the flash drive, but everything works fine through the phone. And this happens with all USB media and devices. I checked flash on many computers before installing it on the phone - everything was OK. After installation, the memory card does not work on the computer - only through the phone.

2. I ordered a flash drive forebay(universal flash drivei- flash device). I received it yesterday, inserted it into my phone - it works, it also works on the computer. Today I tried to transfer a video from my phone to a flash drive, copying started, I left the phone and went away. Upon returning, I discovered that the program was closed, and the flash drive was no longer detected on the phone, nor was the computer detecting it. What to do?

3. I bought a 32 GB flash drive for my phone from AliExpress. It worked fine, then the photos that were saved to it were half cropped or there was a gray screen instead. Eventually it stopped being detected by the phone. The computer seems to detect it, but does not tear it off. It says something like "insert disk". I tried a lot of things that were written on the Internet, a lot of programs. Some don’t see the flash drive, some see it, but still can’t format it.Tell me how to bring her to her senses.

Answer. Format the flash drive using your phone or Recovery (we wrote about this at the beginning of the publication. If this does not help, go to Windows Disk Management and check whether the flash drive is mounted when connected to the PC, whether the volume is displayed in the list. If necessary, you can create a new partition on the flash drive and format in FAT or extFAT using specialized programs.

I turn on music on my phone, it says: no music files. Nokia RM-1035 phone and mirex micro sd (HC) class 4, everything worked yesterday. Probably the memory card is not readable! How to find out if it is working or not?

Answer. Check whether other mobile applications can see the contents of the memory card; to do this, you can install another player. Connect the microSD card to your computer or laptop via a card reader. If the flash drive is not accessible in both cases, try other methods described in the article.

The Samsung Galaxy A3 2015 phone does not read the flash drive. I formatted it in all possible formats, but it didn’t help. Connected it to a PC - everything works great. Why doesn't my phone see the flash drive? Maybe something needs to be changed in the phone settings?

Answer. Go to Settings - Memory. Check the "SD Memory Card" section. Install a file manager and see if the memory card files are displayed on it.

In addition to standard formatting, you can try low-level formatting - however, not all manufacturers offer their own software for this (check the memory card website).

Another reason why the phone does not see the SD card may be the lack of contact between the memory card and the phone. Check if your device reads other flash drives. If not, take the phone to be repaired.

Phone Doogee x5. The phone didn’t see the memory card, but it was there. Data was transferred to external memory by accident. For some reason the transfer was completed, but the card was still invisible. Pictures, videos, music have safely disappeared somewhere. How to get them back and why doesn’t the phone see the memory card? Is it possible to restore all this somehow? I tried Android Recovery - to no avail.

Answer. If the phone does not see the SD card, then how did you transfer the files to it? Perhaps you simply copied them to another location.

Try connecting the memory card via a card reader to your computer and scanning it with CardRecovery. As for Android Data Recovery, this program is less functional.

After disconnecting the SD card for work in aparted and carrying out manipulations in it, the prestigio phone does not turn on the SD card again. By the way, the laptop does not see the memory card either. Actions in recovery did not help. What to do if the phone does not see the memory card?

Answer. Perhaps the operating system and laptop see the SD card, but the markings have disappeared. You need to create a volume on unallocated space. Start – Run – diskmgmt.msc. Find the unallocated area and use the context menu to create a new volume on the SD card, assign a letter, apply formatting. After these manipulations, the SD card disk should be detected as before.

I connected the camera as in the instructions (via a USB port), but the camera reads it as a Portable device, but it needs a Removable disk. The camera does not see the memory card in connected mode or what is the problem? How can I change the display? Camera Nikon Coolpix S9400.

Answer. Your camera supports SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. The computer does not see the memory card as a drive. You need to remove the card from the camera and connect it to your PC via a card reader. If you have a card reader built into your laptop, connecting the card will be even easier. After that, you will see the removable drive in the list.

mico sd 32G in an Android tablet. I distort the connector - everything is ok, but after a while the conductor does not see it and through the setup menu, the SD card memory does not turn on. If you take out and insert a memory card, it appears. I cleaned the contacts, wiped them with rectification, but still Android does not see the SD card where the dog is buried?

Answer. Try testing another SD card with your phone. If the situation repeats and the smartphone does not see the flash drive (the memory card disappears from time to time), then most likely the problem is in the phone contacts.

If another memory card works without errors, we recommend formatting the problematic card in FAT32 or exFAT - in case the phone does not see the micro SD flash drive due to errors in the file table.

The phone (Samsung Galaxy S5) does not read the memory card. I inserted three cards, and none of them are read, although they are displayed correctly on other devices. In this case, the inscription “Connect SD card”, the font of which was previously gray, becomes white and clickable, but if you click, nothing happens. All photos and pictures in the gallery (located in the phone memory) are not displayed. And applications that are not in the internal memory, but in the phone memory, do not open. Tell me what to do?

Answer. There may be a failure at the level of the Android operating system or installed applications. Try to manually resolve the conflict by deleting all unnecessary applications from your phone. Update the OS version to the latest through the Android settings.

If the phone still doesn’t see the memory card, check the phone’s contacts: are there any visually noticeable damages on them?

Do you write "on other devices" when you mean a computer? If yes, it is likely that the file system of the flash drive is NTFS, and you need to format it to FAT or exFat.

When I insert an SD card into the phone, the device does not recognize it. No matter what I tried: even inserted it into other phones, I still can’t see or read its contents.

Answer. There is too little information about the memory card (virtually none) to give specific advice. First, check whether your phone supports SD cards of the size that is on your card (see the documentation for your smartphone or tablet). If you just bought a memory card, you can exchange it under warranty for another one of smaller capacity.

If you have previously used this memory card and it is no longer detected on this and other mobile devices, it is most likely faulty.

1. I cleaned the card on the computer. I deleted everything from it. Now there is a new smartphone teXet X-plus TM-5577. I inserted the Sidi card, he sees it, but nothing swings on the Sidi card and I can’t transfer anything to it. Tell me what to do?

2. The phone started to turn on on its own periodically (Lenovo A 526). Then I left the house and plugged in my headphones and noticed that not a single track was playing. Later, when I took out the phone, I discovered that the flash drive was not readable and the saved music did not play. I tried to reboot the phone - it doesn’t help, I put it in the card reader - it sees the memory card, I put it in a friend’s phone - too. But I don’t want it at all. And the most important thing that drives me crazy is the notification after turning on the phone with the phrase “Remove the MicroSD before deleting it so as not to lose data.

Answer. You need to connect the memory card to the computer again (as you did before), format the sd card in the standard way (for example, through Explorer) or using sdformatter. File system - FAT32. Most likely, it is due to incorrect formatting that the phone cannot write data to the memory card.

After a sudden shutdown, the tablet (Android 5.1) stopped normally recognizing memory cards in the card reader. It either writes, checking errors, or reads, which lasts indefinitely. At the same time, half of the programs stop responding, everything slows down wildly, and it becomes impossible to turn off the tablet (only when the discharge reaches 0 and turns it off). Sometimes (very rarely) after connecting, he sees it, but at the slightest manipulation with the card (even viewing a photo), he immediately loses it and begins to re-read it again, and this is the end. Tested on 3 flash drives, both clean and not, with different formatting and a lot of dancing with tambourines (all according to recommendations on the forums). A system rollback was performed. Nothing helped. He refuses to see the 8 gig card at all, although if you connect it via an adapter to the USB connector, everything works great (like other flash drives). What is the problem, in the card reader or in the system?

Answer. It is best to connect the problematic memory card to a laptop or, alternatively, via a USB adapter, as you mentioned. Next, the SD card needs to be formatted.

Most likely the issue is with the card reader. After a short time, many cheap card readers stop reading memory cards correctly and produce copying errors or read information slowly.

The system (Android) is unlikely to have anything to do with the problem, since you have already tested several memory cards. Perhaps it is a specific application that is slowing down the system, but this can only be determined by resetting the phone to factory settings.

Lenovo vibe shot phone, android 6. There is a 32gb sony sd card in the option as an extension of the main memory (ext4). The phone stopped seeing the file system - it says SdCard0 01/01/1970, 00 kb. Windows 7 sees two partitions - 16MB and 30GB, operational, 100% free each.

How can I return everything to its place by restoring the previous files? or at least how to pull out photos and the WhatsApp folder?

Answer. To recover a deleted partition on an SD card, R.saver or AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition programs are suitable. If the file table on the partitions contains errors, you can try to fix them using the chkdsk utility for Windows. If that doesn't help, try scanning the SD card (unreadable sections) with the Recuva utility. Until you overwrite the information on the flash drive or format it, the chances of getting your files back remain high.

Samsung A3 2017 Samsung memory card 64 GB. I created folders from my computer: photos, ring notes, music, videos, movies, etc. The phone sees only audio, pictures, documents, video. Doesn't see any other folders on the memory card. What needs to be done?

Answer. Install any file manager for your phone (for example, Total Commander or ES Explorer). Create folders directly through these programs and copy everything you need there. Files should be read on the memory card without problems. It is also possible that those folders that cannot be read from the SD card are hidden or damaged. So it would be a good idea to format the card to avoid further errors.

Lenovo A2010 phone does not see the SD memory card. I tried to reboot, it says "Only one SD card is available, it is impossible to switch." Other phones do not have a card. It doesn’t show on the computer through the card reader at all. Is this really the end, so many photos and videos have disappeared? Maybe something can be done?

Answer. It looks like there are reading errors on the card or the markings have come off. Since the memory card does not open on the computer (i.e. the letter/separate drive is not displayed in the file manager), it makes sense to check whether the memory card is recognized as a device at all. To do this, go to diskmgmt.msc (Start - Run) and see if unallocated space appears when you connect the SD card to the PC. If it appears, create a new file volume in this space through the context menu. If nothing happens, most likely the SD card has failed.

Phone model sony xperia m4 aqua dual. For two years, the phone had a microSD memory card installed. Recently, glitches began to occur: at first, in order for the memory card to work, it was enough to restart the phone. Now the phone has stopped seeing the map completely. Failed to format. Installed a new one. The phone recognizes it (it’s in the settings, photos were sent to the card), but applications cannot be downloaded from the play store (it still shows the option to download only to the phone’s memory). What needs to be done in this situation with a flash drive?

Answer. Format the memory card with specialized applications - the same SDFortatter is quite suitable. Next, check the card for errors using the chkdsk tool.

However, you clarified that changing the memory card does not help. The problem may be caused by specific applications or software conflicts within the Android OS. In this case, we recommend updating the firmware or, as a last resort, resetting the phone (perform a hard reset).

After encrypting the SD card, Samsung A5 2017 stopped seeing it. Through the card reader on the computer it sees, but does not open. I tried to format (SDFormatter, cmd) - it doesn’t work. Sees other flash drives. I checked for errors - it gives an error, but does not correct it.

Answer. To check the SD card, use the following parameters:

chkdsk (drive letter): /f/r

  • /f - fix file system reading errors
  • /r - fix bad sectors on the sd card

This should fix errors and allow you to format the SD card in the standard way or through utilities like SDFormatter.

I have a Kingston DTSE3 16G USB drive, the computer doesn’t see it, the flash drive is unreadable. periodically the system displays a message stating that the device can work faster or. Are there any recovery programs?

Answer. The flash drive supports USB 2.0 interface. Your computer (motherboard) may have an older version of the ports, which is why this message appears. Therefore, we advise you to update your PC hardware if you have not done so for a long time.

Recovery programs will not help you, but formatting the flash drive correctly (in NTFS/FAT) and then checking for errors using chkdsk will not hurt.

The Samsung galaxy tab 4 SM-T331 tablet does not see the SD card. available places 0b, free 0b. and I inserted the same SD card into another device, into my phone, and sees the SD card: available 14.57 free 14.57. I insert another SD card into the tablet - again it doesn’t see it, but the phone sees it.

Answer. If there are important files on the memory card, make a copy of them on your computer. After that, format the memory card and check it for errors. If everything is in order, you can use the SD card on your tablet or phone and write files to it. If the situation repeats, update the tablet firmware or perform a hard reset. However, this is already an extreme measure; we advise you to first deal with reading errors.

I made the memory card an internal storage device forZTE blade A510. After resetting the phone (SDthe card was in the phone all this time) it stopped working on all devices, Android does not save to it.

Answer . You need to format and mount againmicroSDas an internal storage. If the memory card is opened on a computer, transfer all the data on it to your hard drive.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 NEO.I bought a 16 gig memory card, but after 5 months of use it suddenly stopped seeing all the games that were on it. And the phone sees videos, photos and everything else without any problems. In settings > memory > memory card, the total volume, free space is written - in general, everything is as usual. Help with this problem!

Answer . The easiest way is to reinstall the games. This can be done through the applicationGoogle Play. If user data is still stored in the phone memory or onSD-map, games will work as before.If not, try restoring them through the appropriate recovery applications.

Owners of phones and tablets running Android OS regularly complain about problems with the USB connection - very often the computer refuses to see the device or the gadget does not charge from the PC. The causes of problems can be different, so you first need to conduct a thorough diagnosis and identify the source of the problem.

Why the PC does not recognize an Android phone or tablet via USB: reasons and solutions

In order to conduct a successful diagnosis, you must first answer several questions:

  1. Has this always been a problem or has the device recently stopped being detected by the computer via USB?
  2. Did the problem occur after any manipulations with your smartphone, tablet, or PC (laptop)?

Answering these questions can help you fix the problem faster.

There are several typical cases that occur when connecting via a USB cable.

For example, if you have a new device and the Windows XP operating system is installed on your computer, you need to update the OS to the latest version or download the MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) protocol from the official website. After installing it and restarting the PC, the gadget should be recognized.

Users of Windows 7, 8.1, 10 must first make sure that the device is connected to the PC. A corresponding notification appears, informing you about the connected storage device. Sometimes the gadget is recognized as a Camera (PTP) - in this case, just click on the message and you will switch to MTP mode.

Switch Camera mode to MTP for data transfer

But these are not all the problems that a user may encounter.

The computer does not recognize the device, but it is charging

If this problem occurs, you need to make sure that the gadget is detected by the computer. If device connection messages do not appear, do the following:


Smartphones with new versions of Android are recognized in charging mode by default. Therefore, you need to click on the “Charging via USB” notification and select “File Transfer”.

What to do if your mobile device is not detected by your PC: video

The device is not recognized, does not charge and does not turn on

In this case, follow all the steps from the previous section. If there is no result, remove the battery from the device. The battery fails after prolonged use - often removing it helps solve the problem. Inspect the battery for damage or irregularities. If there is deformation, the part must be replaced.

The reason may also lie in the software. Try to fix the error like this:

  1. Disable programs and services while charging.
  2. Install a utility to optimize the device’s operation, for example, Clean Master, Smart Manager. They remove unnecessary and unnecessary information on the gadget and reduce the load on the system.
  3. Roll back the OS to the starting version.
  4. Reflash the device. Perhaps unprofessional firmware caused the device to not work correctly.

The computer does not see the internal memory of the device

If, when connecting a gadget via USB, the PC sees only an external card, take the following measures:

With such a reset, you will lose all the data that was stored in the internal memory, so it is better to first save the information on a flash card.

The computer does not see only the photo

If pictures and images are not recognized when connecting to a PC, do the following:

  1. Make sure that the device is in MTP mode for data transfer - only in this case you will see information from both the external memory card and the internal one.
  2. View the contents of folders using a file manager such as TotalCommander. If the photos are not displayed in this utility, it means that they were deleted or the system was damaged.

The device does not want to connect: how to avoid this problem

If you want to protect yourself from difficulties in operating your Android device, just follow simple rules.

  1. Be careful with the USB cable. Do not bend it to avoid damage.
  2. Do not drop the device, avoid getting liquid into the connectors.
  3. Trust the firmware of your device to professionals, use proven firmware and patches.
  4. Install software downloaded from official sources.
  5. Regularly clear the gadget's memory, use special programs and utilities.

If you have tried all the described methods to diagnose the problem, but none of them brought results, entrust the problem to professionals. This way you can save your time and avoid causing even more damage to the device.

Question: The file saved in /storage/emulated/0/papka is not visible


Until now, I was sure that the file saved /storage/emulated/0/papka/foto.jpg would be visible in the internal (accessible via a USB connection) memory in the papka folder, and so it was until I changed my smartphone, now when saving the file is saved in the same path, but when connecting a smartphone, such a file cannot be found in memory and there is no folder. I don't understand what's happening. The program is the same, the saving code has not changed................ mysticism. There is a weak assumption that maybe it saves it on the second smartphone to the internal memory, accessible only to the program. But here's the code
Java
1 2 3 String sdState = android.os .Environment .getExternalStorageState () ;

if (sdState.equals (android.os .Environment .MEDIA_MOUNTED ) ) ( File sdDir = android.os .Environment .getExternalStorageDirectory () ;

and it is clearly clear that we are talking about public memory

Clarification on the second smart sd card there is no sd card, on the first one on which everything worked the card was there, but the saving went to the public memory of the phone (not to the card)
Added after 12 minutes

When viewing through the file manager of a smartphone, both the folder and the file are visible in the internal memory. BUT when connected to a computer, the folder with the file is not visible Answer: Nerr

Note: don"t be confused by the word "external" here. This directory can better be thought as media/shared storage. It is a filesystem that can hold a relatively large amount of data and that is shared across all applications (does not permission enforces). Traditionally this is an SD card, but it may also be implemented as built-in storage in a device that is distinct from the protected internal storage and can be mounted as a filesystem on a computer.

Question: Internal memory 0.00 MB. Can't see internal memory


Hello, the device is Prestigio Multipad PMP5670c_DUO.
I tried to find a way to solve the problem, or find the firmware, but nothing really worked, the tablet does not see the internal memory, and therefore it is impossible to install the software, + it does not turn off and the reboot does not work.
The tablet had an automatic update program, it weighed 450MB - I downloaded it, but when it came to preloading, it just took a long time to load, then it switched off and did not turn on. And when I turned everything on again, reset to factory settings. I am hope for your help.

When viewing through the file manager of a smartphone, both the folder and the file are visible in the internal memory. BUT when connected to a computer, the folder with the file is not visible I solved the problem, download the official firmware from the 4pda website, instructions are on the website and in the archive.

Question: How to programmatically access the internal memory of a device


Hello, please tell me, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 tablet with Android 5.0.2 OS. I connect the tablet via USB to a PC with Windows 7, the tablet is detected as a device with internal memory and allows you to copy files from Windows Explorer to the internal memory. How can I programmatically access this internal memory to copy files, for example, through a script? I tried to write xcopy ... Planshet\Tablet\required_folder in the bat file, it cannot access it. Is there any way out?

Question: Reading the associated .txt file from internal memory by URI


Good afternoon. It is necessary for the program to read the associated text file.txt from internal memory by URI. I searched for an answer to this question for a long time, but never found it. Below I provide the code

Manifesto

XML
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 > "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> > > "android.intent.action.OPEN_DOCUMENT"/> "android.intent.action.OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE"/> "android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> > >

Thus, we call the application when the user clicks on a text file.

) */ ) catch (FileNotFoundException e) ( e.printStackTrace () ; mTextFileView.append ( "
\nThe file could not be found at the specified path"
) ;
) catch (IOException e2) ( e2.printStackTrace(); mTextFileView.append(" internal memory\nProblems reading the file"

When viewing through the file manager of a smartphone, both the folder and the file are visible in the internal memory. BUT when connected to a computer, the folder with the file is not visible In mTextView you need to display the text contents of the file.

Everything could be solved like this:


And then passing that file to the FileReader, but the Android Uri is not equivalent to the java URI. That's why I can't find a solution to this problem.
Please tell me ways to read data from a .txt file located on
. Or send a link to the source where you can read about it.

Question: Access external memory card (Android 6)

They helped me figure out how to access the internal memory.
Tried to get external memory using ready class c.

Java
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) ( //... startActivityForResult(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE ) , 42 ) ; ) @Override public void onActivityResult(int requestCode,int resultCode,Intent resultData) ( if (resultCode! = RESULT_OK) return ; Uri treeUri=resultData.getData () ; DocumentFile pickedDir= DocumentFile.fromTreeUri (this , treeUri) ; grantUriPermission(getPackageName() , treeUri, Intent. | Intent.) ; FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION| Intent. FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION) ;

writeFile(pickedDir) ;


) public void writeFile(DocumentFile pickedDir) ( DocumentFile file = pickedDir.createDirectory ("testDirectory" ) ; boolean b = file.exists () ; String h = "123" ; )
Question: Error loading images from a memory card when rotating the screen
Java
1 2 3 4 5 6 Hello! The question is this. I upload photos from the camera to the activity. I pass the file name with the following code: Intent captureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE) ;

timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmss").format(new Date());

Java
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 // name from date

File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), timeStamp + ".jpg");

Java
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 photodir1 = Uri.fromFile(file);

So, even when you execute the code line by line, the application simply crashes to:
setImageURI(Uri.parse(dd_arr[i]));

) ) catch (Exception e) ( e.printStackTrace () ; )

Those. suddenly the file no longer exists! But the file is there. And still the same, the application crashes and Debug stops!

And what’s even strange is that everything happens when there are 5 or more photos! Less photos, everything works!
Maybe the problem is that I have Android 6, and my memory card is part of the phone’s internal memory, i.e. they are eaten. And the card is not fast, i.e. When I combined, the phone said that the card was not fast enough. Maybe somehow it doesn’t have time to work. I don't know, but I think this is nonsense.


Thanks in advance for your answers.

I found detailed instructions for cleaning Android:
In your case, you can try using a file manager or the command line to look at the files with the name of the uninstalled application and try to delete them, if your user rights allow it.
Unfortunately, in Android you can’t, like in normal Linux, type su -l root into the console and fix everything...

Question: Keneksi Orion (memory, confusion)
Good time.
I just recently started using a smartphone and couldn’t figure out one problem:
The smart has several types of memory, RAM - that's understandable, let's go, then the internal memory is 1GB and the phone's memory is 6GB, there is also an 8GB microchip. The problem is this: when I download applications or games, it persistently puts them in the same 1 gig, although the settings indicate downloading everything to a microSD... I changed it to installing it in the phone memory, the problem still persists, it still partially loads into the same gig that has long been naturally filled to the top.

Please tell me how to combine the internal and phone memory so that it becomes 7GB?? or other options to unload this notorious gig, it’s better to turn to 4pd in the tablet branch, they will definitely help faster


Question: Keneksi Orion (memory, confusion)
Question: What is the difference between built-in, system and internal memory?

When viewing through the file manager of a smartphone, both the folder and the file are visible in the internal memory. BUT when connected to a computer, the folder with the file is not visible The question is actually on topic.
4 gig is the total amount of installed flash memory
system is a stub where applications are installed by default
internal is a type of external SD card for storing user data and files; by the way, you can transfer applications from the system core to it
