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!

My 8gb SD card in my Desire S is almost running out.. I have like 3.4 gb left. I'm planning to buy a 16gb sd card for my phone.. How will i transfer all my files, apps, games, also the save games to the new sd card? Is it only copy paste all the folder to the new SD card? Or i'll backup the apps? When i put the new 16gb SD card on my phone, i want nothing will change, like the same wallpaper, the widgets in the screen, etc.. except the memory of course. I don't wanna reinstall all of them again. Is their a way to do that? Thanks!
Yeah basically that's it .
'Almost running out'? you've near 50% left when you take in that you never get the full 8Gb due to system files etc

have you tried it, copy paste the folders to the new SD card? I heard some people are having problems like they had to redownload all the apps and install it. So, i'm just making sure nothing will change. Can you give me some steps on how to do this without having any problems? Thanks!

It's easiest and quickest to do if you have a card reader but ultimately all you do is copy all files from SD1 to SD2 (via PC)
Best to power off phone (ensure that you have settings->power->fastboot=OFF)
remove SD1
load SD1 into card reader
copy SD1 to a directory on PC
load SD2 into card reader
copy PC (SD1 files) to SD2
replace SD2 in phone
power on phone
nothing will have changed.
If you don't have a card reader then simply do then same but with the SD cards in the phone (mounting SD as Disk), worth Quick Formatting SD2 before you copy files from PC onto it so that its empty.
What if I'm on a custom Rom, like virtuous unity? Will it go back to stock after changing the SD card? And do I have to root the phone again? Thanks!

No it won't effect the rom and you won't have to root or flash it again

Sounds ok, although I don't personally know the manufacturer....
The size you want depends on the use that you give phone, if you watch movies often, listen to lots of music or are constantly flashing ROMS therefore taking backups, possibly consider a 32Gb card, I personally believe that you can never have enough space...on SD (obviously depends on budget).
The higher the class the faster/better the card
The current SDHC specification defines Class 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 as follows:
Code:
Class Minimum Speed
2 2MB/s
4 4MB/s
6 6MB/s
8 8MB/s
10 10MB/s
1 1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes
2 Based on SanDisk internal testing; performance may vary depending upon host device.
I thought I read somewhere on the forums that Desire s can't read cards above class 6 at their full speed ( could well be wrong on that).
The cards will work fine just the transfer speeds won't be as stated
Did anyone try this already? I'm just want to make sure that nothing will change, and i won't reinstall anything.. It's such a hassle reinstalling everything. My phone is rooted and on a custom ROM virtuous unity 2.37.. You guys positively sure that when i put the 16gb sd card on my phone, nothing will change? Even the widgets on the screen? I'm getting my sd card this week, so i just wanna make sure. Thanks!

Yes ,it's how I changed from the 8Gb card that came with the phone to the 16Gb I have in it now
Does it matter class of SD card, I mean has any sence in speed of daily work with SD having 10 class or class 2 of default one is enough?

was your phone rooted, and on a custom ROM when you changed the SD card? You just did the steps that ben_pyett posted? You didn't reinstall anything in your phone? Everything was exactly the same like with the old SD card? Sorry for asking too many questions, i just don't wanna reinstall anything again, and i don't wanna fix the homescreen.

As far as I know the card can't transfer at a rate above a class 6 card.Obviously it will accept faster cards but only read/write to them at a class 6 speed

i just bought 2 32 gb cards both class 4 and cant seem to get them to copy tried formatting them checked for errors but still cant transfer all my stuff it copies the folders but not whats inside them any ideas?
Cards purchased from a reliable seller? Or did they come from the land of China? ;-).
EBay specials lol they work if you take all out of folders but no good for the likes of cmw

So ... was the seller reputable?
Also what format are they formatted in? .. because I believe they'll need to be in FAT32, not NTFS and not EXT4.

Yeah seller had 100% positive feedback both fat 32 both are recognized as 32 gb and both copy the folders from the backup I made but not the contents of them which seem a little strange have tried formatting on phone with windows and SD formater on the computer but results are the same

Hello!
I have problems with the sd card (16gb, calss 4) and ICS Roms. Under most ICS Roms (Android Revo, InsertCoin, Leedroid,...) my SD card wont be recognized. Under Gigerbread i had no problems with the same card. The recovery recognized the card also without any problem. Only HyperNonSense ICS recogniced my SD Card without any problem.
Please help me... -.-

General SD card problems
If your getting general slow SD card, issues with content on there being read, backup the importent stuff like photos etc and format SD card, seems the old android files on SD card may be messing things up. thanks orihuri for the tip.
If this didnt help and your still having prolems with slow SD card speeds download sd booster from the market and set the cache to 3000+ thanks to lws803 for the tip.

HTC HD mini
I read the most current version is photonic CM 7.2 - 2.6.35, but SD card is no longer really supported, is this correct?
At first I tried the SD card version 20.11.2011_r175-final.rar, so that I do not need to destroy my WM installation.
Everything is really slow, so I want to know how is the experience with a ROM installation, is it much faster?
Does the SD card speed make any difference?
I use a Kingston microSDHC 4GB Class 4. Is a Class 10 card much faster and is the reader in the phone capable of using a faster card?
With my SD installation I cannot install apps that seem to install some data on SD card, I always get an error “cannot save on SD or USB storage”, e.g. aTilt 3D Labyrinth. What is the reason for this problem? Is this gone with the ROM installation?
Thanx a lot

Hi ,
I have problems with my micro sd card class 10 (16 gb) due to low write speed (write speed should be around 10 MB per sec.). I have been using this sd card since my HTC EVO 3D without a problem.
With my SGS4 I never get more than 2 MB/s of write speed (transfering files from pc to phone). I was also playing with sd cache (I tried 1024, 2048, 3072, 4096) but still nothing (SD booster apk).
I att. also benchmark of my card (done with A1 SD Bench).
Thank you in advance.

my Sd card also seems to have a low write speed which is weird considering its the same 32gb sd card i had in my old s3

I am using window7 x64 so I tought maybe something is wrong with my PC but I did not find any solution on google regarding this problem. I had tried a lot of aapks for changig sd cache but without success - I can change cache but I get no difference in write speed.
how have you tested the write speed? If u just link the phone to PC and copy files from pc to the SD Card, it should be slow, because gs4 has no hard disk mode (I don't know if with some apps can make a real hard disk mode, I always copy big files with card reader).
If u want to test the write speed, try to copy a big file from interne SD card to the extern SD card, note the copy paste time and calculate the speed.
