Changing SD card - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just a quick question. I just got a class 2 16gb SD card and was wondering if I need to do anything special for this card when I put it in /before/after??
Do I need to copy all the files from my other card? I mean is there anything that sprint or HTC do to the 8gb stock card that will hinder my phone in anyway?
Thanks

All you have to copy to the card is anything on your old card you want on your new one

The obvious way is the best. Copy the entire contents of the old card to a folder on your pc then install the new card and copy it back from you pc to the new card. Just do a copy and paste if you wish. I did it and it worked fine.
yes this is the way to do it...i did it multiple times but i think if you have apps2sd you should format it first the same way, i don't use it so i dunno for sure
Thanks.. I was hoping it would be a simple copy & paste
if u had a memory card reader and adapter for the other card, that could be attached to your pc/laptop as another drive then you could just copy from the existing drive to the other

[Q] New SD card - how to migrate

I'm getting a new, larger capacity SD card soon. What is the best way to migrate to the new SD card? Copy everything over using a different reader? Copy to phone, then to SD?
Thanks in advance,
Scott

I would just copy it to my computer, then back to the new card. Just what I would do.
Will there be any permission settings/issues? I'm cool with that suggestion, just want to do it right - once and for all.
I'm rooted w/Unrevoked, a few things cleaned up, but that's about it - stock ROM.

Not on you SD card, you should be fine. If you have any problems you can run "fix permissions" in ROM Manager, but again, you shouldn't have to.
Edit: I've done it a couple of time with no ill affects.
Thanks. Looking forward to having all my music readily available. Hard to believe with 7 gig of music I never have that one song....

Quickest way is to copy from 1 SD card to the other, rather than copying to the phone or your computer & then to your new SD card. I plugged the phone into my computer, inserted the new SD card into my computer & then started copying from Windows Explorer.

This didn't seem to work for me. All my applications that had been moved to SD are no longer showing installed. I copied the entire contents from one to the other (both mounted on my PC), no errors, but when I put the new SD card in, no apps!
Any thoughts? Anyone?
Cheers...
Check your card to see if it's formatted as fat32 format.

I'm not sure if it is required, or if this is even the correct procedure....however, when I got my new 16gb sd card, I put it right in the phone, and then used the phone to format the sd card. I believe the option to format is in menu>settings>sd and phone storage or something like that. Once the card was formatted, I then transferred all my filed to the new card. I've experienced no problems at all. You could also use your computer to format the card FAT32 before you copy your stuff to it. Won't hurt anything.

Yes he's right, but you should be able to just put it in and it'll work regardless

[Q] How to safely use and configure a new SD card?

Alright, this is a STUPID question, but one that I must ask. If I were to buy a 32gb MicroSDHC card, how do I use it with my phone? Do I simply drag and drop, or is there something more to it?
Yeah, you can copy all the files from the old card to the new card and it wiil work.

Usually the fastest is if you have a card reader on your pc.
If not connect your phone to your pc and copy everything off. Then swap the sd card and copy the files back, don't turn off your phone. just take off the back and hold the battery in place.
