I am waiting delivery of a 16gb Sdhc card this week.
I have a tmobile uk froyo desire with existing 4gb sdhc. It's almost full with music and gallery. Some apps are run from sd.
What is the best way to copy all the info to the new card.
Also why do people put 3 partitions on their cards?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
to run apps2sd+ (it needs an ext3 partition), it's better than the one in froyo
just copy everything to your pc, then use an adapter to copy it all back to the new card before putting it into your phone
Thanks tommo

hey guys i was wondering if the desire can handle 32GB cards?
I have debranded my desire and installed 2.2, i have the goldcard on the same sd card i use for all my media, i was wondering if i swap my 8Gb with the 32GB card, will something go wrong because of the fact the goldcard is on the 8GB? or will the phone just be normal without it?
goldcard is needed when flashing some roms afaik. i needed one for rooting originally. that was the 4GB that came with it.
i have a 16GB non coldcard SD now. it can take 32GB as well iirc. there's a thread about it here somewhere

hi,
i have a Desire that's now rooted with a 8GB SD card,
just wanting to know if i can now upgrade to a 16GB card without having to make it a goldcard like i had to with the 8GB?
Thx for any help
I don't think you need the Gold Card when you are rooted, so you can upgrade safely .
IIRC you still need a goldcard even with root. Not 100% though.
I used gold card to go from stock to root... and then I threw it away, never used it ever again and I flash daily
Thx for the help guys..
save me starting a new topic,
i have the default 4GB card in there at the mo, can i just copy the files on it to a new SD card, pop it in and that's it?
Im going to change to a 32GB or 16GB microsd card since the 8gb comes with the device is a little too less for me,so some questions here..
what to notice before i buy the card?
is there some card which is slow some is faster?
and what apps i need to use to backup my apps on the card im using right now.
and last, I did register the premium navigation with the voucher given , so the license in on my device or my card?
thanks in advance
Just copy all the files from your current card to the new card via a PC. I did this with MyPhoneExplorer full SD card backup and copied the files back to a new card via Windows explorer.
Speed wise it depends on the class rating of the new card. There's a post with SD card benchmarks on the forum here.

New SD card after root?
bump for an answer...
I have a 8gb sd card in my Inspire and was wondering if i get a 32gb sd card, can i just transfer my stuff over to the new card and pop it in the phone with no ill effect?
Will it unroot my phone?
I would think it wouldnt cause that should be internal memory, right?
I just want to make sure, Thanks.

No, it will not unroot your phone. Here's how I know:
I originally had a 2 GB memory card that came with my Infuse. I used it for a few days until my 16 GB memory card came in the mail. When I get my brand new 16GB, I formatted it (in the phone) then clicked and dragged all my files to that card. The phone functioned the same way as it did when it had the 2 GB card.
I'm running Infused v2 on my rooted Infuse 2.2.
Hope this helps!

So I think to invest in a very big SD Card 64 GB or even 128GB? As far as I remember it is said that the device supports SD cards with capacity up to 32GB. But if someone tried successfully running bigger SD cards, I will be happy to read positive experience.

I've been running a class 10 32 gb card for 8 months now. No problems at all.
I too have been running a 32GB card all of this year with no problems. There have been reports that a 64GB microSDXC (the DHD takes the microSDHC cards!) runs on some phones. See .... http://androidcommunity.com/sandisk...working-on-multiple-android-devices-20110927/ ...
I was under the impression that this wouldn't work BUT .... the 64GB cards aren't cheap at the moment so I'd need to be absolutely sure they worked. Seems hopeful as they do work on the Sensation.
Anyone got one to try on the DHD??

i'm using lexar fast 32gb hcsd no probs so far, transfer speed 10 megs p/s ,its much cheaper than famously branded ones
No problems with 32gig class 10. As far as I know that's as high as you can go with the DHD.

Issue with MicroSDHC 32 G. Not seen by HTC desire HD with Rom ViperDHD v2.2.0
Hi everybody,
I rooted my HTC Desire HD and flashed with ViperDHD 2.2.0 with Android 4.0.4 and HTC sense 4.1
When I tried to change my old MicroSD 2 Giga with a Lexar MicroSDHC 32 Giga formatted FAT32, the system does not recognize any SD card. Is it a issue of the ROM, a problem of HTC Desire HD or ... ?
thanks for any suggestion.

the issue is the SD card. The rom creates files on the SD card and removing it takes away from the rom. So either you need to copy all folders from old SD to new one or just use phone to reformat new one.

Thank you for your fast replay.
It is strange because the phone starts with the ROM also without any SD card.
In any case I copied all the content from the old SD card [2GB microSD] into the new one [32GB microsSDHC Lexar] and it simply does not see any card in the card slot. I tried various restart and the microSDHC appears 'not present'.
I can't format the card by the phone because the card is 'not present'. I formatted in FAT32 and it works perfectly with my laptop.
Do I have to reflash the ROM or is it a issue with the 32GB microSDHC?
thanks again for your support

No first reformat sd card on computer again then place in phone (Dont move any folders to SD just place in phone). If that dont work reflash rom without wiping anything but dalvik cache so you dont lose any of your settings.
Last resort would be to do a full wipe and reflash rom if you dont mind starting over with the rom.
EDIT: The only folder I would suggest to copy back on to your new sd card is the 4ext folder. Your recovery may need this one.
I am using 32GB Sandisk (class 10) and I haven't problem with this sdcard
Hello, I have a HTC Desire, and I have a problem with memory cards. I bought a 8gb class 4 card and the phone began to crash and restarira permanently. I thought that the problem is in the card and bought another - again the same way. Was previously with 4gb, no problems. If you have ideas please let decision. Use MildWild CM-3.8

Try Reflashing ROM.
or Use CM7.1
First, put back the memory card you were using before you had this problem (the old one) and flash the ROM you were using before you had this problem, now your phone is back the way it was (without changing the SD card)
now for the SD card, I'm not sure about that, but I saw a forum that says:
"you have to copy all the files from the old SD card to the new one and then change it and it will work fine" but you have to do this after doing the step I said before, Good luck
Hello,
i have a similar problem.
Recently i root my htc desire (first time after 18 month on original froyo 2.2) and succesfully flash a CM 7.1. For this change i removed the old 4gb card and i used an 2gb card, everything works CM is very fast.
Now i want a bigger card so i buy a 8gb class 10 kingston, i copy the partition from 2gb card to this new 8gb with gparted. The phone starts ok but after few minutes if i use an app on sd or an app that use sd (e.g. quickpic or es file explorer) the phone hang i cannot shutdown only restart removing the battery.
Now i return using the 2gb card. Is the 8gb class 10 uncompatible? or maybe an error on this sd? or i have to follow a different procedure to pass from one sd to another?
Thank you for any suggestions

As already stated above if you are moving critical Files to SD card then you must copy an entire Old SD card to New SD card. There is a way out of this just create a Nandroid backup in old Sd card and copy the nandroid backup in new SD Card and then just restore via recovery. Everything would be fine after doing so.
I follow your advise, i re-partition the sd (1 fat32 and 1 ext4 as in old 2gb sd), make a nandroid backup, insert the new 8gb sd and restore the nandroid backup.
Everything works, i can move 2 app to sd... and after i take a picture with camera and then... all apps that use sd hangs: es file explorer, gallery, camera, manage app,... and after a while the phone hangs i cannot shutdown... i remove battery e reuse the old 2gb sd
I was very happy after (my first) nandroid backup and restore, but now i'm very sad, maybe there is something wrong in the 8gb sd
thank you
I tried everything you wrote, but to me does not work for both cards. Yesterday I bought a 4gb and I gave up trying. Thanks for helping.
