Getting a charge tom or thursday for me and brother and he is not rooted and I soon won't be, to send back phone.
Can I just copy my fassy sd contents to my pc then copy that to new charge sd card and keep my apps and their data? All possible apps are on my sd.
My phone has ti backup but that is to my fassy sd card and I don't know how to get that to the new sd card either.

Yes, you can copy the contents of your SD card to your computer but keep in mind you do not have to return the SD card with your Fascinate. If you copy the Titanium Backup SD card file to your new SD card, once you're rooted you should new able to download titanium and restore those apps.
When I tried to do that, however, I was only able to restore about 30 of the 86 apps I was attempting to restore. So, let me know about your success rate once you try the same thing.
As far as rooted ROMs go, I've been using EE4 GummyCharge, works great. Haven't tried Gingerbread yet though... heard the new Radio is a bit spotty for it.

You can backup your fascinate sd card content to your pc and then transfer the content to your new sd card once you get it.
OR
If all you want to transfer is your apps with their data, then you can root your charge as soon as you get it activated
- Download ti backup
- Unmount the Charge sd card and pop in your fascinate sd card
- Go into ti backup and restore all your apps with data
- Unmount fascinate sd card and pop in charge sd card
- Go into ti backup and backup all of your apps
You now have all your apps you had on your fascinate plus new backups in your new sd card without having to backup your sd card to your pc.

I am getting conflicting stories on this. First I was told that I need to send back ONLY the phone itself. So I would keep the battery, the back cover, charger, cable and SD card. I then called again today to verify what I needed to send back because I don't want to get screwed. This time I was told that since this is a replacement phone of a different model I have to send back the equivalent of what was sent to me. So that basically means everything, including the SD Card.
The only reason it usually says to ship back just the phone and nothing else is because that is all that they ship you. I am going to call one more time before I send my Fascinate back to see what story I get and then figure 2 out of 3 should be the "right" answer.

I had the same problem, didn't know what to send back and got different answers from different reps... I did what I thought was right and sent back the phone by itself, I'll let everyone know what happens

This is what i did on my last three phones. This is an excellent method. I usually get all my apps back and when i went from fassy to dc launcher pro restored where my apps were placed.

Thanks for all the help guys. I think I'm going to do the Ti backup method on my phone and the PC copy and paste on my brother's unrooted fassy.
I'll update the results when I'm done with his phone.
**Man, it would be nice if google offered cloud backup for app data.**
I really can't see what use I would have for my sd once I send the phone back so I'm just going to return the whole deal to be on the safe side, fwiw.
Can one of you tell me why it makes sense to keep a Fascinate battery, back cover, and sdcard, when they are sending you a Charge? A completely different phone? Why does that sound completely illogical to me? Its because the person who started telling people this was thinking in terms of replacing your fascinate with another fascinate. In which case you would keep all that and only swap phones.
Common sense guys, use it. You are likely to get popped by the fullfillment center for not returning everything.

I sent the phone, back cover, and battery while I kept the sd card and usb cable. I was told this was being treated as a warranty replacement not an exchange or return (in which case everything that came with the phone should be returned). An extra 16gig sd card is never bad to have since you never know (it almost got fried with that stupid ec09 leak for the fascinate).
Everybody I talked to said keep the SD card and the battery. I will probably just put the battery on craigslist for like $5
So I was thinking about the first two posts and I'm just curious, ti backup takes my apps and data and moves it to the internal storage? Our does it upload it somewhere (land of fairies and pixie dust) then the new phone would access it there?
I just called Customer Service again to ask what has to be sent back and the gentlemen told me the same thing the last person did, which is to send the same things back that was sent to me. So in this case, that means everything, including the SD card.
So I will probably just send everything back. I don't want to run the risk of getting charged for anything. I was really hoping to keep the card though.
My replacement charge was shipped out yesterday. I asked the rep if they included the battery, back door, and sd card as well (had a bad experience going from blackberry to OG Droid when they only sent me phone). He told me since it was a replacement, they would not send me a new SD card and I need to keep the one I have from my fascinate.

It doesn't matter what they say, what matters is what shows up. The Charge kit is essentially a brand new phone complete with battery, battery cover, USB cable with AC adapter and 32Gb sdcard and phone of course. Sim card had to be ordered as a separate line item/order, it doesn't come in the box with the phone.

I was told the same thing...that I would be getting 2 "Certified Like-New replacement" phones; and that I was to keep the SD cards (to transfer to the new phones) and give back everything else that originally came with the Fascinates, including chargers. I was also told that I could just walk into the VZW retail store and walk out with the replacement phones (not the case). Retail store had to process the order and ship us the new phones. What I got in the mail was 2 brand new full-retail kits and 2 LTE SIM cards
I'll be sending back the Fascinates along with their batteries, that's all.

My AIR card accepts SD-HC cards, so I stuck the Fascinate's card in there, plugged my Charge into the laptop, and copied all the files I needed straight over. I had pictures and music. Everything worked fine through TiBU, except trying to migrate contact, calendar, and message history data. I wouldn't expect it going from one Sammy to another, but eh...minor details in the grander scheme of migrating phones.
Enjoy the free upgrade. sounds like you got yours at the last minute just like me. Mine were delivered Thursday morning, and I almost fell off my chair when I saw the ED05 push after I default flashed the first Fascinate.
Anyone else getting this error? I've gotten it a few times and it's been taken care of each time with a reboot. This morning it wouldn't fix it.....ended up taking the card out of the phone and connecting it to my pc to see if it was truly messed up and it wasn't. Copied it to my comp and put it back in the phone, works now. I'm backing up all apps now, contacts next. I hope this gets fixed soon or I might have to get a different phone cause I damn sure don't want to have to take my phone apart everytime this happens.
This happens to me too. Haven't nailed down what it is but I have a feeling one of Motorola's phone sync/sharing apps is the culprit.
Kinda aggravating huh?

I think i'm just gonna try a different microsd card and see if the problem persists.....perfect excuse to upgrade to a 16gb card from my 8gb one
So about a month ago my HTC 8x started a continuous reboot problem. Not having any time that day I went to Verizon and had them switch my service back to my old Iphone. My plan was to address the problem at a later date. I did a little bit of reading and from what I gathered I was going to have to do phone reset. That was not a viable option because I had alot of pictures of my 8 month old on that phone. I had saved some of the pictures to the cloud but there was still alot that was not backed up.
One day I decided to to take the phone apart to see if I could find the phones internal memory. Now I'd say I am fairly tech savvy but I probably should have done some more research first in regards to this phone....man what a pain. Long story short the screen is cracked, the phone wont power on at all. I don't care about the phone but I do the pictures that are on it. I was wondering if anyone on this forum knows of a way in which I can remove the internal memory of this phone. What type of memory does this phone have, where is it located, how can I get to it, and how can I get it onto my computer without having the reassemble this phone. I am aware that this phone does not have a removable internal memory card, but I have not found any info on what type of internal memory it has...is it solid state, built in sim ect...

Any info would be appreciated
Man I've been having problems since day one. I've had it for a couple of days now and I'm so frustrated that I'm thinking of going back to my LGV10 and returning it back. At first I was super excited to open up the package but then......
1st problem...
Wasn't able to install the SD card and sim card. I kept on trying to install it but it would jump out of its slot and fall off. With the weight of the phone I had to also not just try to insert the cards but try to not drop the phone while juggling to balance it.
2nd problem.....
SD card doesn't read...
I have a 200gb SD I had on my V10 so I thought I could just pop it in and enjoy me some movies on this big screen and enjoy some music but Nope, it doesn't seem to want to read it and making me reformat it. I don't think so.
I installed a new one. Had to format it and thought I could transfer files to it and..
3rd problem.....
No OTG..... I didn't know that I tried to manually install some files and no luck.
Oh yeah I dropped it already also but good thing it was on the carpet.
I really really like the phone so I there's anything anyone can help me with I would be much appreciated .
Thanks and sorry I had to vent..
This phone could be great, but it really needs some dev love. If it could be unlocked and rooted I really think a custom rom could make this phone really shine. Maybe in the near future. For now I went ahead and ordered the Zenfone 3 Ultra. Going to spend the next week comparing the two. If I can get over the lack of LTE and the Zenfone has better user experience I will probably return the Lenovo.

I had a 7" display phablet. It had simcard instructions printed on the back shipping plastic. I kept the plastic on because it was a very handy reminder and was hidden by the case anyway. The way I did the simcard in Slot 1 and the sdcard in Slot 2 was to keep the phone flat on its face on a table. Open the slots one at a time... Install the cards... The table made it so easy!!! My simcard had to go into a plastic adapter to make it the right size and it was a real juggling act before I tried this - it also aids in not losing the teenie cards. They land right on the table. Now, it's possible that you have to put the phone on its back on the table... It just depends on the orientation of the card in the tray and the tray in the slot!!! Don't let that be the reason why you return the phone! Try it!!!
Another thing, I am not a techie but a few people here have mentioned that our old sdcard format doesn't work in this phone. They have (usually) purchased a new card (which I'm going to do once I get lucky enough to get this phone in my hands!) and reformatted it to work in this phone and then transferred the data from the old card onto the new one... I am not a techie so I am still going to research this different format... I still have some questions about whether my pc card reader reads that format or do I need to get a reader? Are a lot of newly released phones changing the sdcard format? Why would they request the new format? But I am not letting that stop me... I really want this phone. In my area the Chinese phones don't give good MMS text performance or I would be doing an ASUS Zenphone 3 Ultra!!!

Yeah I figured out the card inserts & I also installed a brand new SD card. I format it to how it was suppose to be and I installed one song. Took me forever just for that one song. I just hope to figure it out before it's to late to return. Just want to be happy with it if you know what I mean lol.. Thank you
