[Q] noob question on changing microsd card

hi i just got my sensation yesterday and im thinking of upgrading my micro sd card to 16 or 32gb ... question is if i changed the card, what happens to the installed apps on my previous card? do i need to install the apps again? is there a way to port the installed apps to the new card?

anyone? ..thanks in advance for your help

Kumusta Pare! Just copy everything from your old sd card to your computer then transfer it to your new sd card.

thanks for the reply! so i would assume if everything is copied from the old sd card...there would be no problems putting in the new one so long as the files/folders remain the same. thanks.

That is correct! I think.

I really doubt that!!!
Your data should be fine (pics, music etc)
but if you have installed apps on your SD, I would recommend re-installing them on the new SD
So the step would be..
1- Copy all data from old sd to pc
2- put the new sd in and copy the data to the new sd from pc
3- Re-install apps.

usually, just copying the whole SD card to the new one is enough, as said above, that's what I did from a 16Go to a 32go, that's what I did from 08 to 16 on my former phone.
Maybe one or two apps will require reinstalling (I doubt, all of my downloaded apps were working when I went from 16 to 32Go with my Sensation) but you won't lose any data.

Thanks for the replies!

Hi,
Is the sd card loose in it's casing?

What have your tried?
Tried SD in a different Phone?
Checked the SD for errors?
Is the SD loose in the carrier?
Formatted the SD (fat 32 and primary partioion) from a PC?
Tried a different SD in your phone?
It does help if you do the basics and add what you've done in the OP

No, I'm never inserting my SD card to any other devices
Previously i checked it for errors,and got cleaned
After I purchased it,i haven't formatted....
I found this "un-expectally unmount error" from this last week...

I had similar issues with my sensation my sd would unmount unexpectedly it would vary from rom to rom. I found that if re flashed my current rom without a wipe it would correct the problem. It worked in my case hope it helps

I would try the reflashing rom idea above as its easy.
If that doesnt work transfer all the sd card data to your computer then format the card. See if that fixes.

backup your data on the sd card to your pc and format it and if it still shows the problem then your sd card is dead

i have the same problem but when i formatted it formatted my internal sdcard -.-

No, it is not :silly:
I've tried 2 different sd cards (16 GB and 32 GB), different brands, and they are recognized by every pc I use, the problem is on the phone side. Maybe the mod to swap internal and external SD cards... or some kind of rom bug.

Or you could flash the alpha 3 which has been released....maybe it was a bug specific to alpha 2?

[Q] Media Scanner doesn't detect external SD Card. Certain apps can't read files

Recently, I installed a custom ROM (Xperia Z Fusion) for my aging Xperia miro. I installed everything such as the ROM itself, the required GAPPS, and a certain ROM Mod for the said ROM (also from the dev himself). Now, my media scanner can't detect the External SD card.
I've also noticed that when I connected the phone to my PC, the PC can't read the External SD Card as well.
But when directly connect the External SD Card to the PC itself (using a Card reader), it can read the SD cards. Fortunately, the files weren't corrupted by any means.
How can I solve this?
EDIT
One thing that I've also noticed thus far: Before, the phone recognizes my phone memory as phone memory (derp). But now, it is recognized as Internal Memory, and Internal Memory is now recognized as SD Card.

All rom have bugs . I think the best decision for you is to back on stock rom
