Can I make a backup without an SD card? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I have the 32gig so haven't had a need to buy an SD card. I apparently missed the part where its fairly important to make a backup using your recovery. Does it just save to the phone or do I have to get a SD card?

You can save it on your internal. Copy it to your pc too, just in case.

Thank you

App 2 SD card question

Quick question for all of you who updated today, are you guys now moving your apps to your sd cards? Are there any pros or cons this besides freeing up space? Like will it make it slower opening up apps? Or will it make the phone faster since less is stored on it
Also ive had a SD card go bad on me. If the same thing happened would I have to redownload all my apps that are stored on the sd card or will I just have to like reenter saved passwords and such?
Sorry a bunch of questions.. but thanks in advance!

It'll make the phone not faster nor slower it will save some space. Note not all apps can be moved to the SD card so that's that

Thanks! That's what I figured. But do you know what would happen if my memory card went bad? Would it require reinstalling the apps that are on the memory card?

No responses ? Either its impossible or I am missing the obvious

Depending on what ROM you're running there may be an option to switch storage either from within the ROM or by flashing a script. Try searching for "switch storage"

Says my SD card is full . I do have a 16 gig from an older fone. Is it difficult swapping out SD cards ?

Probably bad sdcard. There are many topics on same issue.
The best solution is to get a replacement.
If you have sandisk card then read more here.

Have you tried mounting it on the PC? Use a separate card reader and try formatting it using disk management.

Am I screwed it's a integral one
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Yeah sounds like it's dead. In my opinion integral are cheap and nasty so Sandisk or Kingston would be a better choice

Assuming you're lucky enough not to get a fake. Over in UK even Amazon themselves has been sending out fakes.
Some people also suggesting that,
keep your card in freezer for 3-4 hours or overnight.
And it will work again. no harm in trying.

You can also use the one i'm using from Playstore Called: Hide pictures - KeepSafe Vault
But isn't it stored in the phone memory? All my videos take up so much space...

Just put an empty file named .nomedia in a folder. No images in that folder will show up in gallery.

I'm confused

Why do people show off what micro SD card they're using in their signatures?
Some people just list everything that they have for there phone. I don't know the real reason, just a thought
