ok so ive bought myself a bigger memory card for my DHD, whats the best way of keepingh everything i have an just putting it on the bigger card and what way shall i format the new card? format from the phone or in pc?
your help is greatly appreciated
When I did mine I put 16gb card in DHD and let phone mount card then unmount and remove card , placed old and new cards each in a micro reader and both into usb ports of laptop and copied all files from old to new .
How you partition it depends on ROM. Some ROM's require a separate ext partition for a2sd, some don't.
Either way, use your pc to format the new card to FAT32 (and the separate partition to ext3 if required, 512MB is more than enough).
Then connect the DHD and mount the current card (no need to take them in an d out and d**k about with card readers for the existing card).
Then you can as suggested, simply drag and drop but don't forget to show hidden files first.
would like to know something about this aswell
I formatted mine in the phone.
Telepathy, could always try using search on the forum as well

Have no idea what the problem is, I copy files on to it while the card is in my computer, put the SD card back in the phone and nothing is there. I've formatted probably about 5-6 times now. Could I have a corrupt file on the card that could be causing the problem? Can I format the card and start the phone with a blank card? Thanks to anyone that can help.

I got a new 16GB card a while back, and formatted it, then restored by SD card backup to it. I then put the card in my phone, and everything was gone. At that point, I had the phone format it, then re-added things by just drag and drop, no issues.
So, I'm back to having an issue again. Everything I put on is still there, but I can't transfer anything from my computer. The files appear to transfer through windows explorer but aren't there after disconnecting from the computer.

Some of the newer SD cards have a physical write-protect toggle on them, similar to old diskettes or cassettes.
Read elsewhere that once write protect spot located on the SD, someone put a piece of tape over the toggle tab, and it worked.
Assuming the same r/w tab is in the correct position on the SD card USB 'holder' when it's in the PC.
Longshot, but a possibility.

No tab on mine. Now I'm able to copy files through the wifi file explorer app but copying while connected by cable doesn't work. It does, but the files aren't there afterwards. I also get the sd card is mounted read only error every once in a while. I'm not sure what to do, I hate to drop 50 bucks on another sd card if I don't need to.
I'm facing a weird problem with my SD Card...it keeps saying mounted as Read only. Everytime I change its attribute via properties. After mounting the same problems are shown again. M too sick of it, I can neither play songs or view stuffs. Help

You haven't knocked the little tab on the actual SD for read only have you?
Does the SD work on laptop/pc?
If it does is it read only or writeable and if so full format it.

It works on my pc. Infact after no proper solutions i've formatted it, but it haunts me again...i cannot format my sd card all the time. What is the cause of this....anyone?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
When you disconnect the sdcard from the pc on disc drive mode, ensure you "eject" it from the pc first, then change the phone connection to charge only. By doing it this way, you can minimise chances of corrupting files. This maybe was part of the problem?

Don't think Micro SD cards have these. Does sound like a corrupted SD card to me, so yes make sure you unmount it before unplugging the phone
Okay I have owned a few android phones and I've never noticed more then two different storage internal and external.
On the e4gt I have system,USB and SD card.
What exactly is saved on USB, system and SD card what's the defferences?
Is there a way to access and manage them?
I have noticed that switching SD cards does not make transfer everything from on SD to the next as it has in the past with the epic 4g and htc hero.
Please someone could I'm not having low memory problems just a little confused thank you.

you have USB (16 gb minus the system partition) which is essentially a SD card in the phone. Much like a ipod touch has internal storage.
You have SD card which is what ever SD card you have put in the phone
Internal as far as I have seen is a partition of the SD memory. It is used for your ROM and the 1.5 GB of app storage. this is not accessable without root.
I have never owned your previous phone but I doubt it even transferred data from one SD card to another with out you manually copying to phone and back to SD card? Or you just saved to the phones memory.
The top two memories are almost identical in purpose other than one is removable and one is not.
Okay thank you. And how can I access them? Well I know how to acces the SD card and internal for applications. But the USB...is it only accessible after rooting? Haven't rooted his phone yet.

In a file manger like astro. The internal one will be mnt/sdcard...the one you add would be mnt/sdcard/external_sd..

Have you tried to plug the phone in to your PC with the card mounted in the phone to see if it will mount as storage? You can also If you have an adapter microSD to SDcard and a sdcard slot on a PC or know someone who does try and read it from a PC. Have you tried to put it back in the skyrocket and see if you still get the error? GL

If you manage to copy all the files to your PC, try looking at this video. I had a similar issue when I switched from a Razr Maxx running a custom rom to a GS3. Might work for you...

Not rooted. Sd card no longer accepts camera storage. I have 30+ free gb of storage on the card and yesterday it completely stopped storing. Could have been an update im unsure. The setting is defaulted to sd storage but they disappear after reboot. Anyone have this issue or a resolution? Sca

Check on a PC to see if the SD card is corrupted or stuck in read-only. If that is the case, you will need a new card. Had the same issue, bought a new card and that cured that, for now, but still corrupted the pics afterwards. Spoke with sprint and they said it was not a known issue. A few others are having the same issue.

There are many ways to check, when I put in my MicroSD directly into my laptop running Windows 8.1, it said there was a error with the drive and needed to be fixed, I believe windows 7 might do the same thing. You can also format the SD card to see if it works, but if you format it, you lose everything. I would make a backup folder of your SD card contents before hand. However, after taking out the SD card and putting it back in the note 4, the new SD card that I bought stopped corrupting my pictures, so it might just go away over time.

Plug into the computer and it recognized the files fine. I backed everything up and attempted to format the card in the phone. It did nothing. I deleted all of the content on the computer and it reappeared after formatting on the phone. Pretty confused

It's a bad SD card then, SanDisk SD card are known for having this issue. Depending on the manufacturer, there is a warranty. I just got a new card instead since I paid around 27 for a 64GB on amazon. Either way should solve the problem. There are SD card formatter software out there, but when mine had that error, it said it was write-protected. Could also try that, but doubt it will work
