Yes. If you have a dedicated card-reader for your PC then it will almost certainly be quicker for transfering the files than using your phone in the middle.

g8.close thread.

What phone are you actually using? If you're trying to transfer files from your PC to your Phone, by using its USB cable should make the work easily done. But if its an older phone, a card reader is the best option that you can get. Just in case that you are using a smartphone that kinda latest or even not quite latest, you can try using AirMore. Its an app that you can use to wirelessly transfer your files from phone to PC and vice versa.

Confused about SD card (help)

I went to the motorola and this is what it said about the sd card
Insert your microSD card
Remove the microSD Card Slot tray located on the back of the device.
Remove dummy microSD Card and insert your microSD card in the same slot.
Insert the microSD card slot tray
Do I have to buy a sd card
Thank You
Yes. You need to supply your own card. A 32g card works well in my Xoom.

No, you have to format the microSD on a PC, no options are provided from the OS to do so.

I am not to computer saavy can you give me a description what I have to do now I got a 32sd card today.
Thanks
If you have a microSD reader, plug it into your PC and format it as FAT32...that's all there is to it. You may be able to do it through the Xoom over USB (as in plug your Xoom into your PC with the SD card in your Xoom), but I can't confirm that. You definitely don't want to format the Xoom itself though.
Once I do this, where well the sd card show up? I wish there was a file explorer built into the xoom

it will show up mounted in /mnt/external1
/sdcard or /mnt/sdcard is for the internal memory.

OK so I use Astro, and Androzip, and for some reason I can't get my Xoom to recognize the Sd card. I can access it through windows, but not at all through the Xoom. Is this just because I took the card straight from my phone and put it in the tablet without formatting it? Thanks

[Q] Can't move files on ext. SD card

Ok, this has me baffled. I posted this in the Sky ICS 4.2E.1 thread, but I'm hoping I get better response here. I can't move or add any files to my 32GB Sandisk ext SD. I also can't remove what's on it. When I connect with USB Storage mode the card shows up as a drive (as well as another for my internal). I can see the contents in the drive. I can drag/drop and copy/paste and the files show up in the ext. drive. But as soon as I disconnect the files are not there. (I checked to be sure I'm moving full files, not creating shortcuts).
I tried mounting and unmounting. I tried to format the card using my SR, but get a message saying "the SD card is currently being checked". It doesn't format. I checked the disk using my PC - it says no errors. I then tried formatting it using my PC. It said it formatted, but as soon as I disconnect and boot into recovery the same files are still there.
I can still access the files stored on it (music files play fine), but can't add or remove anything to or from it. Really a bummer 'cause I want to do some flashing. Any ideas?

You ever put it into a micro SD to SD card adapter
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
No - I have one somewhere. I also have a 4GB micro somewhere. If I can find them I'll try both. I read the SR will accept a 64. If I need to buy a new card that's what I want, but don't want to plunk down $70-80 until I know it's the card
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Ok, looks like my SD is bad. Just used a 4GB I had laying around. Inserted into my SR and it works fine. Also used an adapter and plugged the 32 directly into my PC. Can't edit any files.
Very weird that my SR can still read the files that are stored on it. I just can't change the files. Oh well, at least now I have a reason to order that 64 I've been wanting.

How to format the SD Card from my phone without losing data?

My computer just passed away, so now I'm left with my HTC One and my iPad. I need format my SD Card without a computer, so I obviously would like to keep some of my data. Is that possible? Can I just partition the SD Card? Help!
Heuu soryy you cant or maybe sd partitioner is existing as an apk
Sent from my LG-P895 using xda premium
I don't believe that you can.
"Formatting", by definition wipes all the data on your SD card.
What about backing it up to a cloud service of your choice,or just email the things you want to keep ....to yourself,at least you can keep your pics an stuff,I do that for my build prop mods and apks I have on my SD when I'm not around my PC.

Try AirDroid , to transfer stuff to your iPad over WiFi
Then partition/format, open up AirDroid again, drop your contents back to phone.
Note: only works if u have a small amount of data to transfer around

SD Card Format

ROM: CM 11-20140204-NIGHTLY-skyrocket
I've done some searches and was not able to find anyone with the same issue as me. So, erased my SD card through the ROM (Settings > Storage > Erase SD card
I rebooted the phone,and it told me there was a blank SD card in there and I needed to format it. Well, every time I try to format it, my phone reboots. I tried doing it through recovery, and it told me error mounting SD card.
Any ideas on how to fix this or is my SD card shot? It was working perfectly fine before I erased it. I would plug it into a computer, but i don't have an adapter.
Thanks in advance!
Format it in your computer. Use FAT32 file system and do a quick format.

its not really an adapter, its the usb cable that came with the phone or any samsung cable, blackberry cable and many others might even work
Vin his problem isn't the cable bro it formatted incorrectly the phone doesn't recognize it and can't mount it via recovery to format it. He just needs to toss it on a computer and do it from there.

No error... Just the internal card showed up. I tried mounting it and then plugging in the phone, same thing. Really strange. Yea, adapter isn't a huge deal, just caught me off card that it reboots my phone when I try to format it through the ROM.
