When i first bought my phone I put in an old 2g card I had , but nowe I want to buy a bigger size one maybe a 16g , but my question is would I be able to transfer everything from my old one to my new one? if so how?
If you have a card reader, just copy the contents from the old card to the new. If not and you can only use your phone as a card reader just copy the contents from the card to your computer and then back on to the new card.
what jsapp said. though if you don't have a card reader you could always just transfer the content on your old SD card to the internal memory of your tablet then onto the new card. would take longer but it'll do the trick.

I took out my microsd card from my old 8525 and put it in my fuze and it will not read it. I put it back in my 8525 and it reads it fine. I also use an adapter for my pc and windows reads it fine. Just got the phone today about 20 minutes ago. Could the microsd slot be bad? and YES I am putting it in the correct way. The SD cad is a 2GB kingston.
2GB SD cards are picky. I have a 2GB card in my camera that my laptop will only recognize about 50-75% of the time, although I've never had a problem with it in my camera nor with the card reader I have plugged into my other computer. Of course, it could be a defective slot in the phone, too. The only way to tell is to try with another card (preferably a different size).
microSD cards are cheap. I'd suggest getting a 4GB or 8GB card and seeing if the phone accepts that; if so, just use your pc to copy all the data from the old card onto your hard drive and then onto the new card. If not, you've still got a new card as well as evidence that the phone needs to be replaced.

Guess ill have to run to walmart and give one a try.
Actually I did a hrd reset and now it will read it fine. Guess its just typical windows BS.
I have gone through three 32gb cards now and none seem to be working. I try to swap the contents of my 16gb card to the 32gb card and the data gets corrupted each time. The data on the 16gb card is fine and I can transfer it to my PC drive, thumb drive, and even a different 16gb sd card and view all the files with no problem. But everytime I try to transfer it to any of the 32gb cards the data gets corrupted and the transfer fails. I have formatted each card with the panasonic card format software (ver. 3) and it still doesnt work. I have tried different format options and I have even tried to format it with my EVO and still no go. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
The Xoom's SD card slot doesnt work on stock Android 3.0/3.1. If you rooted to get an OS with an operational card slot, it is possible that the root did not install correctly.

Trying to understand...you are saying that the file transfer has failed from 16gb to32gb when using PC to transfer...not a Xoom issue yet? Have you just put a few files on the 32gb card and checked it in the Xoom? It sounds like you've done everything right...are you sure the cards are good?
I am rooted and have been using the card slot for some time.
I have tried to transfer the files by several methods. PC -> Card, PC -> EVO, PC -> card reader, PC -> Xoom, and vise versa. Nothing worked. I have tried putting just a few files on and it seems to work, but when I try to put all the files (about 9gb's worth) the info starts to become corrupt. I suppose its possible that all three cards are bad, but I have to think the odds on that would have been pretty high. The first card was a class 10, the second and third cards were class 4.

I hope someone with experience with a 32gb card jumps on this...I've never used anything larger than 16gb. It just doesn't make sense-have you tried transfering smaller chunks of data at a time? Anyway, I hope you can resolve this...if you do, please share. Good luck!
It really does sound like faulty cards. Where are you getting them from? It's well known that sd cards bought from eBay or Amazon Marketplace are more than likely fake.
For example, I bought a 16GB card from a guy on eBay and was only able to transfer 2GB of data to it then the card corrupted. I later found out that people are re-badging smaller cards to look like bigger ones. They also spoof the size on the card itself so it reports as a larger card when plugged in but they only take up to their former capacity before corrupting.
All were bought from Ebay so that would make sense. Where do you suggest buying the card? My local chain stores do not carry anything larger than 16gb right now.
Yeah, hopefully you can get your money back for them. I did but it took a little nagging.
I buy mine from ebuyer.com but that's a UK site so if you're elsewhere maybe Amazon (direct from Amazon only tho as the Marketplace is just like eBay for fakes) or maybe Best Buy? Definitely go to a reputable dealer anyway.

I either buy mine locally, or NewEgg ONLY.

Are you sure your computer isn't putting the usb to sleep while it's copying?
Here is the problem:
I recently purchased a 32gb memory card reformatted it then tried to transfer my files to the card but while transferring them the card suddenly un-mounts. After this happens I get a message on my phone that says blank card or unsupported file system. Tried to reformat but it doesnt work. I tried to format it in clockwork recovery no luck, tried with phone connected USB no luck.
Any suggestions?
Bad card? sd slot contacts? What brand of card? Will another device or computer read and/or format it?
I think it may be a bad card. It works until I try to transfer files or write to the card. I'm just going to ask for a refund and buy a better brand of card.

try it in another device/computer preferably, no point in getting another if it is the phone.
Tried it in my wifes mytouch slide and an other phone we have and had the same issue

Then try their card in yours, if it works then k.i.s.s. It's the card that's no good
I had a similar issue with a 16GB card a year or so ago. I put the 16 GB card into a MicroSD to USB adapter (not in a phone), and plugged directly into one of my computer's USB ports, and re-formatted the card. I have had no issues with my card since then.
Hope this helps!
Hello. Recently just got a 8gb class 6 micro sd card for my HTC Desire (CDMA). When I put the card it it's not being picked up by the phone. Not giving me any kind of error message in the notification bar, just acts like no SD card is installed. My previous card was an 8gb class 2 card that came with the phone, so I know it can do high capacity. Threw the card in a card reader and re-formatted it FAT32, still nothing. Tried putting the card in a friends Samsung Galaxy and it picked up fine. Also my old card still works when I put it back in the phone, so I'm truly stumped here. The phone is rooted but Im not running any custom roms..
Well i think the problem in in your phone. Maby some dust on those golden pins or something you cound try another card to check if its the card or phone itself.

My old card works fine in my phone, and the new card worked in a friends phone, and on my PC. Tried re-formatting (FAT32 and FAText) and naming the volume. For some reason my phone just won't pick it up. No error messages or anything, just acts like there is no micro sd card in it.
Hello. I'm quite new to this forum so I may not know where to post. Sorry about that.
So my question is,
I have an old external sd card. It was for my old phone (Sony Ericsson w705). The phone was stolen long ago (I think it was back in 2009). So now, knowing the device is not here, how could I gain the data that I have on that old sd (memory) card?
Of course I did try placing that card into my new smartphone but apparently it requires the latest external sd cards the micro sd cards which are slightly smaller than the old ones. It does not fit in the slot.
Here's a picture of the old (and a new one) sd card;

the upper one is the old card from which I want to get the data(s)
So is it possible -is there any method- to get the data from the old card without having the actual device (sony ericsson w705 or similar to fit the slot)?

You'll have to search for M2 card adapter: http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/m2-adapter
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Thats not an sd-card, that is an m2-card (memorystick-micro), a special format from/ for sony.
Get an m2-cardreader/ -adapter, if you realy need those files.
Hi,
try some sd card reader or old laptop card reader slot..
