Hello,
I have an Infinix HOT 2 phone. I installed an 8 GB card in it which I had installed as internal memory.
I am now finding that 8 GB is very little space. How do I replace the 8 GB with a 32 GB card without losing whatever is in the current card?
Thanks!
Edwin.

Hello all, I had a G1 phone and I used to install roms, thats why i had formatted my memory card in it acording to instractions on forum pages and it was 4 gb but As a ext 1-2-3-4 parts I used to have 3 gb of it as memory card. But now I sold my G1 and bought a Moto Millestone. but when i put my memory stick in to pc, it shows still 3 GB , I tried to format it a few times but no way its always 3 gb nothing else. How can I get back my missing 1 GB ?

That would probably be because you're only reformating the FAT32 partition.
If you've previously partitioned the sdcard to fat/ext/swap then those partitions are still there. You need to remove those other partitions to regain your full 4gb.
Use the recovery to remove the ext and swap partitions.
RAM 512Mb but you only have aprox 326 Mb for yourself, the rest are used by the OS and System Services.
Internal SD, can come in 8GB models or 16GB models
External SD, is whatever SDHC micro SD card you want to insert into it, supports up to 32GB micro SD cards
the Internal SD is split in 2 GB for System OS Apps, and whatever is left over is yours to use.
the Internal SD is aprox a Class 4 SD card
Amd what about system types on internal sd? What is reason for so slow stock i/o? FS type? LagFix i choosed store data on same chip...

exactly because of that the internal SD is split into 2 active partitions, by having the swap file on another SD card, then it lessen the access time

Ok! But..... CFLagFix-1.70 moves files to internal SD, not external.
It was in internal, and became also internal. So what's the difference?
Ok, maybe another partition, but same storage! May by file system structure, heard about some journals??? or what else??
I used the latest manual nooter to root my nook...everything went painless enough; I had used a 4 GB SD card to do this. When I was done rooting my nook, I reformatted my 4 GB SD card and installed it into the nook color to have the full 4 GB worth of storage space...how quickly I was able to use that up! ...I should add that I rooted my nook to the internal nook drive...not to a bootable SD card.
Now, I am wanting to expand my nook color SD card to a 32 GB card. Since I used the 4 GB card to image and nooter my nook do I have to stay with the 4 GB card? ...or can I just format the new 32 GB card, copy and past all the info from the 4 GB to the new 32 GB card and off I go?
Sorry for the newbie question but I didn't want to do this and then find out that the rooted nook color will not run smooth or find that I am getting force closures.
Thanks!

You should be able to switch up to 32GB, I would move all apps moved to SD back to memory first just to be sure apps don't break.
I have seen a couple of threads asking this question but not answered.
Is there a way to utilize the internal memory after using the CM7 mSD card method?
It would be great to utilize the 7 or so GB in additional to whatever size the mSD card is as opposed to buying a $50-60 32GB mSD card.
thx in advance
As for running CM7, the max you can get out of the internal space usage is 5+ GB, can't get 7 or 8 GB.

Is that if I rooted using the internal memory?
If so I wanted to know if at all can I use the internal memory after rooting using the mSD card method.
If your NC is an old version, prior to 1.2, then you should have 5GB ready for use.
If it's v1.2 and later, only 1GB set by default but you can get 5GB if you don't mind re-partition.
Droid bionic has a max 32 gb external sdcard limitation. is this a hardware or software limitation?
thinking if it was software, could I create 2 partitions on 64gb card and mount extra partition in vold.fstab as usb1 or sdcard-ext2 or something?
thanks.

I do not know if this helps or not but my Samsung Precedent is supposed to have a 16gb SDcard limitation but I have a 32gb card in it and it reads it as such. AlI I can say is stick the card in and see what happens. Once I get my Bionic up and running I plan on moving the card to from phone to phone. Good Luck and hope it works.
I've been using a 64 GB card (SanDisk Extreme SDXC) with no problems.

Is the OS JellyBean?
is the card formatted exfat or fat32?
Is it class 6 or class 10?
thanks.
Note: reason I'm asking is I have been reading problems with class 10 micros SD drawing too much power and exfat not being recognized with usb thumb drives and I wasn't sure if that carried over to the Micro sd card(for those with a y cable, an OTG cable, and powered hub)
Software problem only, reformat the card as fat32, your phone will ask to do this, and it will work fine.
Been using my sandisk 64gb card for a year without issue in my Droid 3 and now on my Bionic.

I broke down and bought a sandisk 64gb micro sdxc
picked up a sandisk 64gb sdxc class 10 from best buy for $35 yesterday.\
It would not read in my bionic because it is formatted exfat file system. Android no like. ext2 or fat32 is preferred if your a windows user def fat32.. problem with formatting anything that large using windows is you need utils found here.

that diddn't work for me so I used easeus partition manager to delete partition on card and create a primary (not extended) partition that was unformatted. I then used the fat32format.exe from the link above to format the card all of which was done in windows xp
working now.
I'm sure there are some things here that are not neccessary but this is what worked for me after a few failed attempts.
do not copy files form your old card until you put a couple files on the new card and test it. you will just end up wasting your time when it doesn't work and you have to reformat it again or repartition it again and copy..... again. I copied 29g to the card like 3 times. lol.
my entire music collection will be with me at all times now!
64gb MicroSDXC is 30$ on Amazon (US).
I got one and it is working flawlessly in my bionic. I was running CM11 at the time, but have jumped a couple of ROMs since then.
I copied all files off of my old card to PC (using the card slot), formatted the new card IN MY PHONE, then copied the files on to the new cardPure success. No errors or anything.
Just my experience though! Bionic isn't supposed to handle 64gb cards, but mine did just fine.
64 megabyte SD card
I also purchased a 64 megabyte SD for my bionic and it works great.
