[Q] SD Card - General Questions and Answers

Need some help with this. I have a trail camera for watching deer in the woods. It has a SD card adapter with transflash card in it to record the photos on. I have an android phone with transflash card. But if I swap them out I lose my custom ringtones I have set up for everyone. Is there some way I can get those photos onto my cell phone without having to bring the trail camera home and download the photos?

Only Way I Can Think Of Is To Connect To Your Computer For Transfer, Either That Or Email Them To Yourself, Then Go To Email From Your Phone! Also I Would Recommend Making A SDCard Backup On A Computer, In Case Of Losing Files, Say (Ringtones)

What I was thinking was a male to male mini usb cable. But I guess the phone doesn't have the drivers to read from another usb device.

What if you just copy the custom ringtones to the internal memory of your phone with a file manager, swap the cards and then copy them back to the card?

Simply slot the card into the SD card slot of your camera, PDA or other mobile device and use it in the normal way, once the data is on the card, simply remove it and plug it into the USB port of your computer.
Available in 2GB capacity, this card is essential when travelling or taking work home from the office.

The way I see it it's just a Usb stick but with one end being a SD card.
You can stick it in your usb port on your computer then set your data on it, after that you take it out and but it in your pda using the other end.
So it can't be used to connect your pc to your pda directly

Please assist with micro sd card with bad blocks

Hey everyone,
I have a 1gb micro sd card. It apparently has bad blocks and cannot be recognized by my 8525 (WM6.1), vista pc or xp sp2 pc. I have the programs to recover the info on it, but none of these programs are effective because the card doesn't show up as a drive.
I am attempting to access the card directly from the phone. With the pc's I have an usb adapter that I know works because I use it for my 8gb micro sd card to swap information.
Can some one give me an answer on how to either fix the bad blocks or make the card recognizable by the ppc or pc's? The recovery programs I have say they will get info off a formated card, but I can't format what the phone or pc's doesn't recognize.
Thanks.
which apps did you try?
if if i'm not mistaken i managed to recover a card using Active Recovery 7
The easiest way for me was, plug your card back to where it gave you a bad blocks, and it should be readable, then backup your datas there,.
this is what i did to my 2GB miniSD for Olympus e520 SLR Camera (the camera lost now),.
I plug it in to my friend laptop, then it cant be readable by any device, then i plug it again, and its readable, then i back it up, then i leave the miniSD,.
Hey G, Thanks for the reply. The card went bad in a digital camera. So I should place the microsd card in the camera, use the usb cord to connect to the pc, remove the usb cord once the card doesn't read, then reconnect the usb cord?

Best way to transer media to Captivate?

I transfered some pics to the phones internal storage using it as a mass storage. about 1000 pics and it took about 30 min. not only did it take long but they dont look the greatest on my phone. Am i doing something wrong? is there a better/faster way of transfering? using windows Vista btw.....
I put movies, music, pics, and other videos on my micro sd card and just insert that into the phone. Works perfectly fine!
thankfully my laptop has a built in card reader so i just use that to transfer files to an external micro sd card. its much faster than transferring over usb.
You could also install Swiftp and FTP to your phone over wireless.
The cable works well in my opinion and you need it to access the internal storage, If you go the card route make sure you unmount first or any open apps will immediate crash if they rely on any data on the card.
the other nice thing about the internal card is that you can keep all your app data on that and your media on the external and it keeps everything nice and clean.
and ofcourse when your external is full just continue on to the internal
if you use cubed (^3) for mp3, its awesome and can auto find album art, it'll automatically add from both sources
Unfortunately it won't be free forever, but it might be worth the investment. Doubletwist is a pretty excellent application. It's basically Itunes for Android.

that sounds like abnormally long write times.
Is your computer old? does it support usb 2.0?
have you enabled developer's console on your android and mounted your sd card via the notification menu when plugging your phone into your pc?
lastly, download samsung kies and get their drivers for the phone as well..
yes its 2.0. its an HP about 2 years old. maybe i didnt mount it, i cant remember. I just dragged and dropped. Wasnt sure if its an advantage using Kies or just doing the drag and drop method. Also is it better to keep everything off the internal if possible or does it matter? Just wondering how everyone transfers. tried to drop 3,000 songs the other day and it was like 3 hours! not at home right now so cant try it.

Is there a program that....

Here is what I'm needing/wanting to do. I have a wildlife cam that takes pictures and stores them on a sd card. This unit has a usb connection to download to a laptop. I'm wanting to connect a cell phone to this unit. As the cam takes pics, it stores them to it's sd card. I wanting to connect my cell phone to the cam with the usb cord. It would be nice to be able to ask the cell phone the transmit or sync somehow with a "cloud" type storage.
My issues that I can think of is if I have a usb cord plugged into my wildlife cam, if it will be able to write to the sd card while the cell phone is plugged in. If I'm lucky and it will, how can I get my cellphone to grab these pics and upload to the web. I'm thinking I might have to sync the wildlife cam sd card with a folder on my cellphone, and then somehow synce this with the net.
Does anyone have any better ideas or know if this is possible? Thanks in advance

Question Can we access the SD card via a computer through USB?

Hello everyone,
I have a basic question, maybe it's stupid, but critical for me because my laptop doesn't have an SD card reader.
Let's say I put a SD card in the phone, and then I plug the phone via USB to my laptop, can I access the SD card content and copy new things like music and photos directly from my laptop to the SD card in the phone?
Thanks for the help if anyone has tried it!

Typically laptops take full size sd cards while the Nord CE 2 takes micro sd cards. You would be better off buying a card reader that you can plug into your laptop's usb socket.

Thanks, but that was not what I wanted to know, sorry I didn't explain well.
I don't want to put the SD or micro SD card in my computer.
If I have a micro SD card in the Nord CE2, and I plug this phone via USB to the computer (just like we do to transfer files to the phone memory), can I access the micro SD card that is into the phone via the file system / explorer ?
Yes you can.
Thanks! Totally buying it then.
