SD Card.

Hey all my Q. Is I am switching my 4g SD card to a 32g SD card and I was wondering if I just copy and past and everything stays the same or do I have to do something else when I switch my SD card...
Thanks. In advance

You can just copy and paste everything from the old to the new and it should work fine. The only thing I can think of that might be a problem is if you are using an EXT partition for apps2sd. You probably won't be able to copy that data over.

Under Settings, under Storage there is the option.
Be sure to save ur stuff from that external sd card to ur pc first, then format it.

What ROM are you running?

Ice Cream Hackish 10

Probably something with the ROM. I always had problems with sd cards on cm7 and both the ics builds. Kept losing the card everytime the phone went to sleep.

Now I'm on stock kk4 rom and its still not showing up...

No offense, I am only trying to cover the bases. But is ur external sd card being recognized under Menu/Settings/SD card and phone storage/SD card ?? And if so, is it mounted ??
Also, is the directory path /sdcard/external_sd ?? (u can look at My Files in the app drawer and see)

Update
I kept having this problem on kb2 and jf6. I swapped the card for one that had about 3gb of stuff on it and no more problems. Either my first card is bad, or it needs to have some stuff on it.

Are you trying to copy from PC to ext sd?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

It should show up as a seperate drive with the phone if you're mounting it as a USB drive. It would show up as something called Removable Disk (with a drive letter) if you haven't renamed the card before.

You are aware that on your phone the Ext sd is called emmc on cm base roms?

Its there when I connect via PC but that's not the prob I have a 32 gb mem card that's not getting used by the phone at all phone men and built in external is full and can't get it to use my SD card

And I don't have a file called emmc either mate

Go to your file manager and look for 2 folders
emmc
sdcard
one will be external sd & other internal sd
If you are on stock ROM then looks for SDcard>external_sd

I have a external file an a SD file but this phone has internal memory and external SD built in to it just that dosnt allow me to use mine to move apps to etc I managed to put some pics n music on it but wanna use it to save space on my phone aswell

Stock?
Are you running a stock rom?
What were some of the things you were doing before this problem started?
The more info the better

No I got ics rom on it and it hasn't worked since I rooted the phone mate I think its got somfin to do with the phone having its own internal and external SD cards I don't know if I can removed external SD card myself but I doubt its just like a normal SD card
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

If you're running cm9, ur external sd card is at mnt/emmc. If you were to put to mnt/sdcard/externalsd/, you are simply placing ur files to internal sd.

Yes you can, I did that
But if you don't transfer some things over, you may very force closes in some apps that need days from the sd card

No problems if you are transferring everything over
If you leave out some things you think are useless, like I did, you may have problems. I just transferred what I thought was needed and I had no problems
I do Fat32

I use Airdroid

Most SDcards are already formatted to FAT 32. I use Airdroid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid
Simply copy ALL from your SDcard to computer, put new card in phone then copy back from PC to phone

Hi, I had copy all items in my old sd to new sd, but when I want to back up current Rom using clockworkmod, it shown cannot unmount cache.. any idea yea.. =.=

Sd card keeps changing to r/o

As above after every boot it defaults to r/o so I can't download anything until I change it to r/w?
Why is this?

Have you applied any vrthemes?
I had this happen to me after applying some vrthemes that had some issues and caused corrupted files on my external sd card.
If you have tried to apply a vrtheme that failed you can see if you have one or two vrtheme folders on the sd card one will be backup and if they can not be deleted then you will need to format the sd card to get it back to normal.
Just copy what you can from the sd card to a computer, format the card and then copy the files back to the sd card. That will make it back to normal

Ok I've formatted the card. Is it normal for the internal sd card to be r/o?
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium

No it's not. You should be able to write to the internal sd wihout problems. I copy and download files to it all the time

Well I don't know then. I suppose I'll have to do a factory reset

If that doesn't help either I'd recommend installing a different rom
