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...

SD Card Space

Hi
I have a 16gb sd card.
I only have 4gb of music on it
But it says I only have 600mgbs left
How can I see what is taking up all the space on my card
Plug you phone into your computer and mount as external storge, then use your computer to look at what files are on your sd card and what size they are. There are also file explorer apps like astro, just long press a file and look at its detail, it will tell you its size.

I checked all the folders and they definately do not add up to 16gb.
Just wondering where all my memory is at
So decided to copy the entire contents of the sd card onto a folder on my desktop
When I did this it said the entire content was 4.11gb

Copy the files to a folder on your computer, then reformat the sdcard to FAT32, then transfer the files back onto the sdcard and see if that helps.

Does your phone report the SD card as 16GB? Also, do you have lots of apps installed to the SD? I don't believe these will show up when you are just copying files from the mounted SD.
Also, are you running Sense? I don't know much about this since I run CM6, but doesn't the HTC Locations program store all of its maps on the SD card (presumably also hidden)? Not sure how much space this would take up as well...
Copy the files off of the card and format it then move the files back. Make sure there aren't any unnecessary partitions or anything either.

Where did you get your SD card from? Do you know for fact (using it on other phones, etc.) that its really a 16 GB card, and not a counterfeit?
What is the phone reading the SD card total space as? My 16GB card is reading as 14.82 GB total space.
Fake 16 Gig card.
Phone: T-Mobile G2/Vision Rooted/GFree'd
Rom: Latest Cyanogen
Recovery: CWM waiting for Amon_RA
There is a thread in the Accessories section and tells how to check if the card is fake. The thread will have 16 Gig sdcard and where to get them. Sorry but I think you got a fake.

New SD card help.

I am getting a new 16 gig class 6 SD card for my dhd and wanted to know the best way to move my flies over from my current one with out losesing any thing?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Google the program SyncBack Free. Its excellent at moving large directories and files.
Easiest way.
Connect to computer, copy everything off sd card, copy everything to new sd. easy as.
Yep, connect to a pc, copy all from old SD card to pc, then from pc to new SD card. Worked for me all the time.
I use simple backup to keep a regular backup of my SD Card by mounting USB to my ubuntu box, so install your new card in the DHD then restore Simple backup

How would I go about using a bigger memory card?

I want to upgrade to a bigger memory card, but most of my games and apps are installed to the memory card. Would I just plug in up to my computer and copy all the folders over? Or move the apps to my phone, switch cards and then move them to the new memory card?
and would I still keep all my app settings and game save files?
Just copy one card to the next it will work just the same

Yup, just done this - replaced the 8GB card that came with my handset with a 32GB one.....plugged both cards into my PC and copied all contents from 8GB to 32GB then chucked it in the phone - simples
Make sure you copy hidden folders too, and android.secure, thats the folder with apps you've moved to SD card
what about if i have sd card partition? i have 16gb and planning to upgrade to 32.. but i have 1gb partition because of link2sd, but my pc cannot detect that partition, what would i do?
Ude a position manager e.g. easeus to copy hidden partitions

[HELP] 16GB memory card automatically deletes files!!

Please guys help me to fix my 16GB memory that always deletes files(some files) inside my memory card.
Everytime I try to format using HP formatter it says 'device is protected'.
Please post some advice to make it work again. I still believe there's a solution.
Thanks in advance!

I dont see anything wrong with the title.
I can format the sd using any other tool except to HP formatter.
And yes everytime i transfer my files from 4GB memory card, after removing from the computer the contains of 16GB are not equally the same as to my 4GB sd. For example i copied my titanium(folder) back up from 4GB and transfer it to 16GB the folder becomes empty when.try restoring. Even my music files are automatically deleted after placing the 16GB to my phone. Thats the situation.
But the other files remain inside.

Why not flash your phone again with the re-formatted SD card installed this time? If you can not format the card properly, there is a thread with solutions. The easiest way seems to be by putting it in a camera.
