If you trust your sd card reliability then yes.

So if u download heavy game data itv would use card
It will if you set the SD card as the default storage.
Make sure to use a class 10 or higher sd card to get the best performance.

I have class 10 but still seems to putting still on internal even though SD is formatted to internal
Ie to test I installed per purchased GTA sa but all on phone memory as u see in pic
Try formatting it again and portable and then internal and then can move ur apps
I did it i had the same problem...

Strange.It must be the other way around.Think the post above is the solution for your problem.

I currently have a 2GB MicroSD card with a GPS program loaded on it. The card was provided to me by the manufacturer. I prefer not to constantly switch the card out to put in a 6GB one that holds music, movies, photos, etc...
I tried to simply copy the contents of the GPS card to my new 6GB one and when I start the program I get a hardwareID error.
I figure it has something to do with the volume serial number or possibly the mbr/disk signature, but not sure. Anyone know of any utilities that can assign the volume number? additionally anyone have any ideas of what the software could be checking against on the hardware?
I'm not in anyway trying to cheat on licensing, it is just purely an inconvenience.
micro sd
I think the max size is 4Gb
I have the 6GB card working fine on the tilt.
Of course anything past 2GB has to be formatted FAT32, so the 2GB is FAT, while the 6GB card is FAT32, but other than that, it works fine for storing music, documents, videos, etc, just not for my GPS program that seems to be locked to that particular 2GB microsd card.
That's the exact reason I won't buy any GPS prog from a vendor that locks it to a particular memory card.
Can a sd card be partitioned ?
If so set up a 2 gig fat 16 and a 4 gig fat 32!
I don't know if it can be done or if it will work.

I got 6GB and it works. A friend of my has a 8GB card and it works.
In theory the SDHC system can work till 32GB

With a little trickery they can be partitioned in XP/Vista using diskpart, etc., but they won't be visible to WM5/6 then.
Kinda useless if you want it to work with your Kaiser
It could be a bad flash card (either one). Try copying folders one at a time from the 2GB to the 6GB card, instead of all at once. Do the file transfer on a desktop PC, as WM6 might choke when doing large file transfers between FAT and FAT32 (not that its a known bug, but hey, its Windows...).
Okay. I've got two microSD's. One is 2gb microSD from Kingston and the other is 6gb microSDHC from Sandisk. I put the 6gb into my touch cruise and it did not detect it. put in the 2gb, detected instantly. I removed the 6gb, put it in the SD adaptor and put it in my Canon SD850 to test the microSD. It stated "memory card error, card locked". I checked the lock on the SD card and there was no switch on microSD. How the hell do I get the 6GB microSDHC to work?
Ps: 6Gb was fully functional in my E90. It was formatted and now does not work in the HTC.
Please advise.

Formatted with FAT32?
Now how do I format it? No device in my household besides the E90 I guess reads it.

I hope you have a MicroSD cardreader.
You can format using the MS utility or download the following:
http://www.sdcard.org:80/about/downloads/
which is a dedicated piece of software for SD cards.
But MS works ok.

That application does not read the card, but when I put it back in the E90 it works fine. I'm confused now.

Have you tried to format it with that dedicated piece of software or the MS format utility?
Does your E90 read to complete card or only 2Gb?
It's the difference between SD and SDHC.
The application froze, and the E90 reads the entire card.
u might have locked it with a password in the E90. there is a feature to do so that prevents one card to be used in several devices.
I want to use a larger SD card. Can I simply just copy the contents off the 4gd SD over to the 8gb SD and still have those program which ran from the SD not be affected (ie. TomTom7, games, etc. are on my xv6800)?
I am not certain if the device looks at SD card ID, card name, etc. that could be a mismatch if I switched cards...
Thx
Mod Edit: Moved from Titan Upgrading
as far as I know, you should be fine. UNLESS, that memory card is one supplied by iguidance (from what I've read). Otherwise, you should be ok. But if your phone only reads 4gb, see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1766401&postcount=93
In a word... yup.
I did exactly that about 3 weeks ago. Radio Shack sells the Sandisk 8gb microsdhc w/ usb reader for $59.

you wont have any issues. i did this a while back when i picked up my 8 gig to replace my 2 gig. just copied everything right over and had no issues. now i use my 2 gig for storing backups of radio and rom images.
Hi, I have been having problems with my Class 10 Micro SD, sometimes it would appear as corrupted, not detected, etc... Most of the time all I have to do is reboot and it would work ok again.
I'm using the latest MIUI ROM by langthang with this Class 10 Micro SD. I tried to reformat and partition (for A2SD) the card several times at PC using some utilities, tried also as well with the Recovery and still, same bahavior.
I have no problems using my 16GB Class 2 Micro SD, makes me think Class 10 Micro SD's aren't really compatible with Android, I tried "Googling" and some were also having issues.
Inputs anyone? Thanks!

Hi,
What is the make of sd card?
Generally brand names like Sandisk and Samsung make the best Micro SD cards, Lexar too are decent enough too, cheaper versions are tempting but ultimately wont last as long.

It has a local branding of a popular store here in our country. But hey, I think it works ok with PC, I got no problems with it when inserted in a card reader on a PC, even tried watching HD movies just to stress test this micro sd, and never gave me problems.

Hi,
The reason I ask is that there are known issues with unbranded cards in Android.
Sandisk and Kingston are ok.
So,therein may lie your problem.
As far as I understand it ,class does not come into it either.It's all about READ speed.

Thanks for the input bro, appreciate it!
Format the disk to default 4k, single partition config... that should work fine...
Of course stuffs from good brands will always be better and will have longer warranty and reliability. But as I faced similar kind of issues where I re-formatted my sd card with 32kb file allocation size, my android was unable to detect it. The reason I later realised is that android has stripped down version of everything including the underlying linux, so I formatted my sd card with standard(4kb) allocation and its working flawlessly now! So I would suggest to remove the partition and other complex configuration for the sd and format it to plain default config and its should work fine! All the best....
After upgrading to a 16gb external I was unhappy to find that most games and applications won't install on it, and yes I tried using apps2sd, to find after a few reboots the icons were dim (not valid) and the game data somehow disappeared. A 500mb game now turned into 32kb when uninstalling. This has happened to not only one game but many. Including Asphalt 6 and Nova. So what options do we have when installing large size games such as modern combat? Use the inbuilt 16gb? Mines already full.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Try a root app called force2sd found on the android market. Works on ALL apps
Is the sd card even legit? Also check for errors and completely reformat it.

Maybe something is wrong with your SD card. Mine Lexar 32GB Class 10 works fine.
Well, it could be worse...
In my case i had an old 2 Gb Samsung class 2 in my SGS2, and all apps installed on the INTERNAL SD (no room on the external, as i had filled it up with mp3's).
Then i bought a new Kingston 16 Gb class 4, and changed the 2 cards, and expected no problems - with the thought on that no apps were installed on the external SD - but... half of my apps were greyed out, and didn't work afterwards. To make things worse, i tryed to install the apps again form the market, only to find that it didn't repair the old apps, but installed new apps besides the broken apps. And i had difficulties deleting the old apps.
I changed the card some times on my old HTC, with no problems - but on this phone i will never do it again - i had a LOT of apps on my phone, and some of them bought outside the market, so i had to pay for some new downloads on that account.
Thank god that all my Gameloft games were not destroyed - even that they were installed in the internal SD.
Maybe i was just lucky on my old HTC, but this made me somewhat unsecure on the SGS2, and as written above - i will NOT change the card again.
Maybe someone can explain how the internal and the external SD-memory works together, in conjunction to my and fluidz problems with the external SD-card. It somehow seems that the external SD is connected with the internal SD, so that some apps depends on both to be installed - even if the apps is not moved to the external SD... ????
On my old Aspire one netbook, an external SD-card would be added to the internal SD-card that worked as an harddisk. So that the internal AND external SD worked as one harddisk all together. That gave the result, that if you unmounted the SD-card, the netbook was somewhat missing files, that was moved back and forth on the external SD (eg. it would mess it up, if you changed something or installed new programs, AND unmount the external SD afterwards). Is it the same on the SGS2????
