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.

I have bought a Sandisk microSD 2GB... Now, I have a microSD 1 GB with many files and software installed on it... I would like to substitute the 1 GB with the 2 GB SD... so, Do I need only switch to view all files with Resco Explorer and copy all on the PC... change the microSD with the 2 GB card and re-transfer the files on this card? Or is it important follow a specified step by step?
Tnx
Stefano
hi there, from my experience, just copy it and it should work. no special order or anyting else.
Just had the same problem, used 2 USB card readers on my PC. Enabled explorer to show all files then just copied everything from 1g card to 2g card.
All works fine including TTN6 etc...

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?
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?

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.
Generally we can not download more than 4gb file through ttorrent pro as there is 4gb size limit in FAT 32 file sytem. In our grand duos ext sd card is formatted to FAT 32 and thats the reason we are getting this limitation. We can tweak a little bit to overcome this limitation. Below is the step by step procedure.
1. First back up the ext sd card content in your computer.
2. Then delete all the partitions if any.
3. Format the sd card through computer in exfat format.
4.Copy all the backed up files in the sd card again.
5. Voila now our grand can read the card formatted into exfat and also you can now able to download more than 4gb file in to your sd card through ttorrent pro.
Please go through all the steps and you can free from 4 gb size limitation.
I have already done this on my phone and downloaded 8gb 3d movie.
[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.
