[MOVING FILES] Just got a new SD Card, Can I move items ?

I just got a new microsd card, and I already have a 2gb one which came with the HD2.
Can I move everything from the 2gb card to the new one ?
I know images and videos will be moved with no problems, but what about the applications stored in the 2gb card, will they work ??

Yes mate - just copy it all across and it will work. Do it on your PC. I just copied my old card to a folder on the desktop and then copied that back to the new card. If you've got a seperate card reader then you can just copy from card to card. Either way, it's not an issue.

Thanks I just wanted to make sure before doing so.
Yeah I have a spare reader somewhere around I think, well thanks for your reply !!

Yes. Just transfer the files via an SD Card reader.

Welcome aboard matey, Mine came with a 16gb sd card but I have a 32GB class 10 card in my Play.
Highly recommended, the faster speed seemed to have sped up my games also as they were getting a bit jittery when I had the stock 16gb class 4 sdcard in my phone.

If you have a Mac, you can try Carbon Copy Cloner, it's free and it's awesome for cloning an entire disk (or SD card, in this case) to another one. I used it when I got a new SD card for my Play
I also use it to backup my SD card to an image file on my computer every week. Yay!

Go into your SD through windows, select all, copy to a folder. Put in the new card, select all, copy the contents over. Done.

thanks guys...

Images from SD Card getting deleted.

I usually take wallpapers from a site but sometimes after I download them the next day they are gone.
I still haven't figured out why this us happening.
I have a 8 GB SD Card, class 2.
And I use Opera Mobile to download them.
And QuickPic for browsing them.

I am not sure, its only happening to my wallpapers folder only and not a single other file.

Perhaps you could use your friends'/relatives' spare SD card to try downloading again.

why my samsung sdcard file transfer so slow?

moving between folders, 1.4GB large on the same card. took about 5 mins ... isn't supposed to be like a sec? my card is Samsung *PRO 64GB 64G microSD microSDXC micro. I dont know the file system yet... never format it. Once it arrived, I just put it in ^.^

If the file manager really does a MOVE it is supposed to be like a sec. But some file managers do a COPY and then delete the old stuff. 5 minutes in that COPY scenario is not the worst speed possible, but is nothing to write home about.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I was on PC. I was using PC file Explorer to move files on this SD card when the phone connect to PC

Try using a card reader and plugging directly into pc instead.

That explains a lot - over MTP move IS implemented as copy+delete.

Connext your phone to a computer and copy all content on the 4 gig to your computer then turn the phone off. On your computer format the 32 gig card to fat32, then copy everything that was on the 4gig that should now be somewhere on your computer wherw you copied it on to the 32 gig, replace the 4 gig with the 32 gig in the phone and turn your phone on, should be good.

I thought folders have special restrictions. I have upgraded SD card from 4 GB to 32 GB
Steps I did :
1. Removed card from Phone and inserted in in Laptop
2. Copied all files to Temp Folder from Old sd Card
3. Plugged in 32 GB card copied from Temp Folder to new card
4. removed card and inserted in Phone
5. Tested it out and it works

all i did when i upgraded is select everything on the old card and create a folder for those files and copied it, then i got the new card and i just copied the files in the folders and it should be pretty easy
