Hi guys!
I have a question about using SD Cards.
I'm currently using the 8GB SD Card that came with the phone, but after awhile, the space just seems insufficient.
If i buy a new 16GB or 32GB SD Card, can i just copy everything over to the new SD Card and use it as per normal? Will it affect any of my rooting capabilities or activities (e.g. Making nandroids, restoring nandroids)
Use it as normal. I backup SD card to PC. Transfer what I want to new card.

try titanium back up then backup your apps, format and add new partition to new sd
then transfer all data from old card to new card then run titanium restore?
Oh, I did this today without any backup, just put the contents of the 4gb onto a fat32 partition on the new 8gb. Seems to be fine so far.

Do you still have a full 8gb card though or is it reduced to 4gb now?
Thanks

Sorry for asking again, but what about the partition? The sd card has a partition so if I copy my contents over will I still have full use of 8gb (less the 4gb contents) etc.
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!

Ok, so I have my Droid Incredible, which is rooted, and the 2gb storage is almost up, I want to buy another Micro SD Card for the phone, will the mess anything up, and is it possible to copy all important root files and put copies of the rules to the new SD Card ?

Your root is on the system storage of the phone, not the SD card. If you swap it out, you won't have any problems.
Also, you can copy the contents of the SD card over to the new one so you don't mess up any applications that have data on the SD card.
Man, thanks i had the same doubt
I am having problems with my SD card. I used to have a mytouch, and I bought a Sandisk 4GB back then. When I got the S2 back in Decemeber 2011, all i did was format the micro card to work. The S2 shows that its there under Storage, but i have always have difficulties actually using it. You will see that it has some used into it. I can only reach it through USB connection and transfer file that way. However, whenever I use any programs which can be install under SD card, it will not do so.
As you will noticed below i have a problem call App 2 SD Pro, which it will only show both memories with my phone, Storage and USB, which is the same phone memory. By no means, its finding the Micro SD card. Can anyone tell me why is this? This phone is not rooted and i have only 2.3.6.
Thank you in advance.
If you look through your list of folders under /sdcard, your micro sd is the 'external_sd" folder.
Yes that is true. Is under External SD card. My question is, why are some programs, mostly all, having difficulties to find it? and can i have all for example game files, be saved onto my "external SD Card"?
What is the speed of your sd card?
class 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10?

How would i know that? all i can see on the card is, Sandisk 2 in circle, 4GB SDHC micro. Where else can i check? which class is best?
You have a class 2. It has been my experience that when you move an app to sd card, on this phone it uses the internal "USB" storage.
So what can i do to do the opposite? Meaning, using the actual SD card instead of the internal.
