SD Card problem?

Probably this topic should be in a different place, but In some way is connected to my BA.(Im using xplode's WM6). Ok back to problem. So I have 4gb SD card and I can only copy files on it after format. If I want to add sth on a card files became damaged.(I have only one chance to write files if i want to add sth I need to copy all files back on my pc then foramt card and then copy files back on Card). Problem is connected to my BA because when i copy files on a device and from device on my card(by resco explorer) files are ok(i dont need to format card). So where is the problem??
I wish you understand what I'm talking about

Are you sure you have 4GB SD card and not SDHC? SDHC cards are not supported on BA.

I'm sure. Its weird cause when i copy file from phone memory to storage card files are ok. But whem I'm copying directly from PC to card throug card reader(or wm5torage) files are damaged,unless I make a format but format halps only for one time.

May I know the file system of your SD card?

file system of windows NTFS. System of card FAT32

i had this prob. on my previous card its due to the file format. Beyond 2 gb fat do not works so it goes to fat32 and but these non sdhc card keeps running on fat so this happens. in ideal form the 4gb sd should be 4gb sdhc to work properly.
this causes me to switch to 2 2gb sd card instead of 1 4gb. I also advice u to take backup regularly because u never know when they stop working properly.

so if its file system problem why my 1gb card i working(fat32 as well as 4gb). That could mean that 4gb card is damaged sp why its workin after format and why I can copy from phone without mistakes? Is there any way to change file system on a card? By windows formating i can only format fat32

New Micro SD- Data transfer?

My 8gig Sandisk SDHC is arriving very soon, is it possible to do this for file transfer(including applications installed on SD)?
1.) Format new stick on PC
2.) Shut off phone and remove old 1 gig MSD
3.) Copy Contents of old 1 gig to 8 gig
4.) Pop 8 gig into niki and boot.
Or do I have to reinstall everything?

sure, copy contents to your pc, swap cards, copy from your pc to your phone.
im not sure if it will mess with installations. i doubt it though.

I did this. Copied everything from my old card to my new one and haven't had a problem with any of the installed apps on the SD.

Will do just that. When formatting on PC, is it FAT or FAT32?

Chain microSD 8 GB by microSD 16 GB

Hi,
I want to upgrade the original microSD of 8 GB to a new microSD of 16 GB.
How can copy the contents (programs and data) to the new card to avoid having to reinstall the applications?
Simply making a copy (of files and directories) or i have to use such a program?

I have done this without any problem. I used a Windows Vista desktop to copy all the files from the 8 Gb card to the desktop. I then downloaded the files to a 16Gb card. It worked fine.

[Q] Micro SD card in Desire Z

Hi,
Received Desire Z with 8GB card pre-installed already. Then I bought 32GB microSD card.
Question is about changing 8 to 32GB. If I transfer all the files into the new memory card will I need to re-install all the apps etc or it will work fine?
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience on this field?
Regards
Filippoz

I'm interesting in finding this out too. I've got a 16GB Class 2 card atm, as well as an 8GB Class 4, but that's not nearly enough. Was looking at a 32GB Class 6 online for about £70.
filipoz, where did you get yours, what class is it and how much did it cost?

Here is what I did:
- shutdown phone
-take 8GB card out
-copy all contents of old 8GB to a folder on PC.
-copy all contents from folder on PC onto new card
-put new card in
-turn phone on
I did not have to reinstall anything.

I'm pretty sure most if not all apps are stored on the internal memory.

So I have made a test and it is 5.8 - 6.0 MB/s file transfer (360mb file was transferred in 62 seconds into the memory card).
It cost me 130zł which is about 29 pounds including delivery.
Bought it on Allegro.pl which is similar to eBay.
edit: not everything went well with moving into the new card.
example 1: footsteps: Unable to find location files on your storage card. Tap to download the files from the server.
example 2: one of the games is gone ...
edit 2: so I am back with the old card 8GB, need to find out how to transfer it in a proper manner.

[Q] Move apps & files from full 64 GB microSD card to 128 GB card without corruption?

[Q] Move apps & files from full 64 GB microSD card to 128 GB card without corruption?
I filled up my 64 GB card with apps and files and so want to move to a 128 GB card. However, I've seen many cases of files being corrupt or cards being unreadable/unmountable after using a (Windows) PC for the transfer. What's the proper route to do it for the S5 without those problems?

you need to back up everything on your 64gb sd to your pc then before you put the 128gb card in your pc put it in your phone and format the card so you know its working on your device then after that put your 128gb micro sd into your pc and copy all the files over that you had backed up from your 64gb memory card, and know this works because ive done it.
