Transfer files from sd to sd? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

How would I transfer what's on my current sd card to my new one? I can't move files when my phone is plugged in and I only have one card reader.

The easyest way would be using the card reader to copy everything from the current card to your computer, then put the new card in the card reader then transfer the files to the new card. Or put the new card in your phone, your old card in the card reader and connect your phone to the computer and transfer the files that way.

I've done that before. I had an error though last time I did it

I''ve done it a few times and never got a error. I also backup my sd card every week to my laptop with out errors. The only time I can see someone getting errors is when the card is corrupted and needs to be reformatted.

Try removing the memory card and reading it directly from a computer. If you can see the contents, copy whatever you need out of it. put it back into the phone. Format. reboot and see if the phone reads it right. If it does, drag and drop whatever you backed up

Looks like I wont be able to find the missing files because my little cousin had my phone and accidentally erased everything on the internal memory and sd card

Download photorec.
You can recover your SD card as long as you don't copy anything over to it
OK thanks where do I download it. I'm searching for it in the market and it's not finding it

It's in the usual place (/sdcard/external_sd). I have no problem accessing it.

Micro SD card question

So after having put my droid x sd card from a while back into the sgs3, the error with the blank sd card notification came up. I put the sd card into the computer and it still says must format before i can even open it. What if any software or recovery program can recover the files if possible at all or did i just lose everything permanently.
sounds like its corrupt
Try a program called testdisk on your computer to see if it's recoverable.

32gb micro sd card help

Got a new 32gb class 10 card. So I copied old sd card to comp then copied to new card. Everything went fine , but once I reboot the phone, about half of the data goes into a folder called lost.dir and several folders appear with random lettering for names. No matter what method I use to transfer my days it does this. I've formatted in the phone. I've formatted in the comp . Neither my phone or comp day card is corrupted it seems ok. Has any one seen this before?

You said you've tried formatting several times. Just to check, did you do FAT32?

Just for debugging purposes, what happens if you insert your sd into the computer after booting once on the phone?

It recognizes it u can see all the files and the messed up ones
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Its almost like every folder I add below the lost directory folder goes crazy and ends up in lost.dir going too try something and see if this works
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
So this is what I've found. No matter what files I add to the card the Minn I go over 3.75 gb and restart the phone the files that are over that amount get broken up into the lost.dir and folder replaces it with a u in front of since this is a 32gb card I'm betting the card is no good

Strange icon on Verzion SG3 looks like a memory card with a ?

I have tried searching but without knowing the right words to search for I'm stumbling through. Please help me.
Phone isn't recognizing your SD card. Try moving all it's contents to a different storage like a computer and reformat the SD.

I do not have a memory card in phone other than the internal memory. Does the internal memory need to be reformatted? When view how much storage it shows 12gb both on the phone and plug into the pc. If it does need reformatted which way should I go with that? Odin, CWM, etc..?

I think it's a sim card error.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Is this the symbol (sim card)
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I attached the pictures is not the sim card icon. No sim card is in it either.
If there's no SIM card installed, then it makes sense for that error icon to show up if it's the "No SIM" error icon.
anyone else want to take a guess? I put a sim card in the board and it active, the icon is still there...
