Swapping and for microsd cards?

[alwaysonline#AC]

So I've had my 3D for about 3 weeks. And my 32gb class 10 micro sdhc card came today. I've never dealt with card formatting or swapping, so here is my understanding of the correct steps. Somebody please let me know if these are correct, and if not, what to do instead:

1) Power down phone, remove current microsd card.
2) Insert into sd card adapter and then insert into computer's sd card reader.
3) Copy all the files (ctrl +a, ctrl+c)
4) Pull the card
5) Insert new card
6) Right click in my computer and select "format"
7) Once done, paste (ctrl +v) contents of old card
8) Pull the card
9) Insert the new card into the phone then power it back up

Am I missing any steps? Can I skip any of those? Is there a different way this should be done?

Nope thats about right.
I just copied all card contents to a folder i called evo3d, then formatted the new card and copied all contenst of the folder to the new card.
Works perfect, its as simple as that.
Some people didnt even fornat the new card, I however always have.

I dont mean to hijack this thread but what format should the new microsd card be? I have a mac and I have to do it a little bit different since it gives me options on how format the card such as FAT 32 and leopard extended.

 

[playersnoopy]

FAT 32 is fine, just don't do leopard extended

 

[mariotheotaku]

Cool, thanks. I figured as much that Leopard Extended would be wrong, lol

SD card data transfer?

I now have a 512mb card to replace the stock 8mb. What all is involved in using the upgrade? How do I transfer data etc? Do I go to a Sprint store or can I do it myself?

Any help would be appreciated.

BTW I'm not rooted if that makes a difference....

Thanks!

Re: SD card data transfer?

I was wondering the same thing. I know how to transfer my pictures but what else do I need to transfer to my new 16gb card? I am not sure what is garbage and what isn't. Does it need to be formatted first?

 

[jakrell]

Are there files on the current micro sd card you have to have? I have explored them and want to delete things I don't need or use but I really have no idea of what I am doing. I have a 16gb micro sd that will be here tomorrow and I know how to transfer simple things like music and pictures. Is the best answer to just follow the steps above?

Re: SD card data transfer?

I don't even know how to transfer pictures! Lol

i thought the advertized limit was 16gb micro sd card. is there a 32 gig compatible one and where can i buy it?

I may be incorrect, but from my understanding, the phone comes with an 8gb card.. Not an 8mb card.

I should come with a 8gb. 8mb would hold nothing. The sprint store can help transfer data.

32GB Class 4 or above is what you want to look for as the max compatible.

Is this right? It is an 8GB card and you have a what size card to replace it?

 

[playersnoopy]

I have a 32GB class 10 in mine like many others. With all my apps, games, and 3D movies I have like 7gb free.

 

[callderek#AC]

Ok, correction. The phone does come with an 8gb. which holds much more data than a 512mb card. Thanks for the responses!
