[Q] Trouble Moving to New SD Card - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got a new 16Gig Micro SD Card for my Evo. I tried to transfer everything over from my old card using my laptop only to find out that not all my apps transferred to the new card. What am I doing wrong and what can I do to fix the issue? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

You need to go into folder options(on laptop) and enable folder view to show all files, systems files and protected sys files.
Your copy/paste is missing some key files

Thanks for that. Anyone else?

Simple.
Just delete the Storage Card Folder and restart your mobile.
I cannot because i still have another program file folder in my previous storage folder.
Actually that fixed it. thanks

Is this sd card ok?

Hey guys. About to but a new sd card for my phone and was wondering if this one would be any good...
Link: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DJC-16GB-Class-6...AsAccessories_MemoryCards&hash=item2a159c0019
I was also wondering would it be ok to simply copy the contents of my current sd to my pc and then paste it onto a new one? Thanks in advance
Should be fine.
As for copying the files that's what I do, too. But it always messes up my ringtones.
You have to re-add the files to make em show up. You can still see them in the music player, though, and add them as a ringtone that way.
I guess it would be better to do some other kind of data backup.

I always copy my SD card contents (with SD card mounted in phone, connected to laptop with USB) directly onto my new SD card (in laptop using SD card reader). Never a single problem.
Cool cheers guys

Memory Card Swap

Good Afternoon All,
I am new here, and have had a very thorough google for this problem but can only find articles on the Nexus S.
Basically, I have bought a new 32GB SDHC card for my arc, and want to transfer all of my files from my 8GB card onto it. I put both cards into my laptop and did a simple file transfer, but when i insert the new card into my phone the apps and media aren't accessible. Has anyone got any suggestions as to why this might be happening, and ways I might be able to stop it from happening?
Thank you very much in advance.
Martin
Ok, i've tried it again, and not only are my apps not there, my media files and photos appear to not be there either.
I have tried several different ways of copying the files, but nothing seems to work.
I am using the stock firmware for the phone, completely unmodded.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Format memory card.

Try this:
- rar everything on old card to your computer
- extract rar into new card

4.2 SD Card Problem

I have an ATT SGS3 and today I flashed 4.2. Everything is cool, but due to multiple flashes over the past few days, I had several (0) folders on my SD card. I know this is due to 4.2 having the option to have multiple users. Since I had like 6 (0) folders, I moved my main folder back to the newest folder. The problem? While I can see the folder in Root Explorer and CWM, it does not show up when I plug it into the computer via USB. I only see one folder and nothing else.
How can I fix it so I can see this folder when plugged into the computer? The way it is now, my personal ringtones, music and everything else are not being found as they are not being seen.
Thanks for any help!!
I'm on 4.2 and both of my cards show up on my pc. I don't have the (0) folder you speak of either. Closest I have to that is usbdisk(0)
Look on one of your cards for a folder with the name of "0". The content of that folder is everything previously on your internal sd.
I can see the folder on root explorer but can't when I am hooked up to computer.

I just found that my contents of the internal sd card is showing up as the extenal sd when hooked to the computer. Crazy. But I can't move the files to the comptuer like this. How can I get this back to the way it should be? I want the internal contents to show up as the internal contents!

This is a known issue in 4.2 ROMs at the moment. Assuming you flashed CM or AOKP, you can follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052337
Problem: USB MTP connection failing to transfer files between device and computer. Windows states the device may be disconnected, when in fact it is not. Another issue with 4.2 is sometimes it does not show your complete folder contents, it will also swap Internal Storage and SD Card folders.
There is no known solution at this time. (None that I have found anyway, and trust me I've been searching for the past 2 days non stop. Really looking forward to cm10.1, but every time I update I get the above issues. I'm waiting for them to be sorted out before I use it as a daily ROM.)

[Q] Weird files on external sdcard

So, I've been noticing weirdly-named, zero-byte files on my external sdcard lately. These are appearing in the root of the external card and the /Dropbox folder that contains a couple folders I sync with Dropbox via Dropsync. Most of these files appear to be named "µ". Dozens of them in each directory. Most of them show up with that same name. A few are other unprintable and weird characters.
Any thoughts?

Possible malware? I would backup both sd cards to your PC then format them. After that only put the files back in that you know you need, and the rest will be there if you need them. Remove all those odd files before doing anything though.
You could also try the sd maid app to clean it up.
Someone else posted about this a few weeks ago. I think the extsd was going bad.
The problem was on my 16gb card.
I was trying (again) to get my 32gb/class 10 working with my SGSIII. It still won't work reliably. So, I reformatted the 16gb and copied everything back. We'll see if these files return.
Thanks for the advise.
