Hi,
i have a 16 GB Sandisk MicroSD for my SGS4. This card contains lots of music and photos and some games (like solitare, Riptide, Asphalt etc)
Now, i bought a new 64Gb SanDisk MicroSD for SGS4.
i copied all the folders from the 16Gb card and pasted in my new 64 Gb card. Power off the sgs4 and replaced the card and powered on.
phone was successfully booted up and am able to see everything like pics, music etc. but am not able to see any of the games which i moved to the sd card. it says application not installed.
So, my questions is how can i transfer the games also to my new SD card? appreciate your help
Any one please. i tried different methods, but none of them seem to be working.

I think it has to do with something with the sd card partition, because most 64 gb micro sd card has that issue, so you're not the only one, i have a similar issue, where my music is affected and most of my files (besides picture) are unreadable,in addition, try using a rom or kernel with exFat compatiability, and then try and use your sd card and see if some files work, it somewhat worked for me. But i'll be honest, what good is a 64 gb card if we can't use it?

I have just ordered a 16GB SD card to replace the 8GB one I have.
Do I need to format the new card in the phone before transferring the old data?
You have to format it somewhere to be sure you have correct cluster size.
Try card after that with free SD tools (http://veluscek.amebis.si/index.asp?selektiran=sdtools). There is free market link.

I am also purchasing a 16Gb SD card . I was going to format it using the phone. You can unmount the sd card and then format it. Is this not a good idea?
I was also going to copy the contents of my current card to my pc, and then copy it back to my new SD card. I am assuming this is the correct way of doing things.
I just changed to a 16GB Class 2 about 2 weeks ago. I just copied everything from the 8GB to my computer. Put the 16 in, and copied everything from the computer to the 16. Everything is working fine. No formating. I did check the phone before copying to it (16), and the format option was not selectable. It was grayed out, so I just copied.
would upgrading the stock 8gig sd card to a class 6 make any difference?

You'd probably only really notice a big difference when copying files from the PC to the phone. Don't think you'd see much of an improvement when opening anything on the phone.

If I'm not mistaken, mine is already upgraded (so-called) to class 10 from my previous phone. I however do not notice any difference in performance.
I think suddy86 is right. Even if there is, I guess it would be hardly noticed.
I have purchased a class 6 card. It was only a couple of quid more than a class 4. Its a Kingston SD Card, so should be good. Didnt fancy buying an unbranded cheaper card.
Another question that I am curious about. Can a nandroid backup made on a 8GB sd card, be restored on a 16GB card?
i believe you can just copy the contents of the 8gig to the 16gig (unless its a gold card)
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.

I'm having the same issue too.... I know what you mean.... I try to back up my phone but it won't... Help please
So far i have been using the old sd card that came with my Arc S. Its been working fine but ive ran out of memory. So i bought a new 32gb MicroSD HC card. Its class 4. This one to be specific -
SanDisk 32GB Micro SD HC Memory Card
SDSDQM-032G-B35
I inserted my new sd (empty) into the phone. When the phone started, there was a Sh*t ton of lag. I basically couldnt do anything. You could say the sd card froze my phone. Is this normal ? keep in mind, the sd card was empty. I got scared and immediately removed the SD card. I put in my old sd card, it still lagged but i waited for about 30 minutes and it was just fine. Its been fine ever since. I have copied all the contents of my old sd card onto my pc and then onto my New SD card. I'm confused on whether to put it in or not. Will it harm my device? As far as i know, Arc S supports 32GB. My phone isnt rooted or anything. Just official Sony ICS if that helps in any way.
Thanks for the help guys.

Your phone stucked/froze after insertion of new empty microsd since your phone is basically looking for the previously installed applications and games when it started.
By copying all the contents of your old microsd to your new microsd before inserting this to your phone will prevent the freezing upon startup, although minor lagging will be encountered a few hours or so while some syncing is done.. I did it your way when I upgraded from 16GB Class 4 to 32GB Class 6 (although not all the files, i left out the videos/mp3s/dcim since i can copied them back later) and encountered no problem. So go on, insert your 32GB microsd already:laugh:
Hi this is my first time posting a question on here so I'm hoping I'm doing this correctly
I recently received a SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDHC card to use in my AT&T Note II phone. When I inserted the external SD card into my phone, everything mounted correctly and functioned right. However, when I tried to transfer my pictures and music into to the external SD card from my internal SD card using the stock app My Files, it would say that everything moved to my external SD card, but when I checked it, nothing was in the external SD card and the files that i had moved from my internal SD card were gone. So I backed up all my files from the internal SD card to my laptop to make sure I don't lose files again.
Afterwards I tried all of these methods to get files to properly into the external SD card:
I tried connected the external SD card directly to my laptop using an adapter and moved the files there
I tried moving files to the external SD card while it was in my phone
I also tried using KIES and KIES Air to move files into my external SD card
The first two methods didn't even have files show in the external SD card. The third method, using KIES and KIES air had files in the external SD card but they were corrupted where I can open my picture and it's a icon of a man of some kind and my music files just wouldn't play.
So I just factor reset my phone hoping that this would fix this problem and I haven't tried moving files yet. I'm hoping that perhaps it was an app that was conflicting with the external SD card.
I know that my external SD card is not fake because it came in a legitimate package and I also ran a software (that I can't remember the name of) that puts in data in the external SD card until it fills up and reads the data to see how much actually went in.
Could anybody tell me what the problem is and how I can fix it? I can't go back to the store and exchange it because it was a gift and there's no receipt. Thank you so much for your help.

I am running CIVZ v3.5 ROM (4.2.2) with an external Toshiba 64GB SDXC card (exFAT format).
Every time I tried to update an app with Play Store, the system will reboot. If I install the apk instead, it will say insufficient memory. However, once I remove the external SDXC card, everything installs normally.
Is there anybody with a similar problem? Any suggestions to use the external SDXC card normally with Note 8.0? I tried formatting the card to FAT32, but it always say the card is corrupt and asks me to format (back to exFAT).
Thanks.
what if you unmount the card instead of removing it, before installing.
I am running a 64 Gig sdxc in exfat and do not have such issues.
however, Do you have a lot of apps moved: app > sd card ?
On One of my Older samsung devices similar used to happen when you moved more than a certain number of apps to sd card.
Solution was to slowly move few apps back to local memory until the problem went away. May or may not work for you though.
I don't have any apps moved to the external sd card. Sometimes the SD card would show up as 0GB under "storage."
I have checked for errors, but can't find any. Used h2testw and the card is indeed 64GB.
Hello, fellows! Please be so kind to inform whether there is an option for note 8 to switch the data between internal memory & sd-ext. Similar to this issue, but for note 8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857391
Found some manuals, but they all ask to flash the device with new rom. I would prefer to create sd-ext card via PC. Is it possible?
Any ways to use sd card as the apps storage place are of great demand!
Thank you all in advance! ,)
