Help extsdcard folders

Both of those should be able to create a folder. Can you create one via your pc if you connect your phone?

No, I cant. I get an error saying the device has either stopped responding or been disconnected. Yet I can browse the files on it.

This is a 32GB Patriot Class 10 memory card.
File System says "Generic Hierarchical"

Should I try to format this card from Windows with a FAT32 or exfat filesystem then try it?

As funkylogic stated the 32GB card will not support exFat. I would move your stuff to the PC and Format the card using the Phone, then put your stuff back. Hope this helps.

Not being able create folders on the SD card

It's not an issue with the card, rather the file system it has been formatted with.

I have formatted with the phone several times. I stated that in post #1
The camera app can write to the card... so its working.
I am pretty sure this is a write permission issue.
