sd card from droid x to fascinate?

[tchabalie]

My son gave me his droid x when he was done with it so I thought I'd try it out for a week or so (although, I REALLY love my Fascinate). Can I take the sd card from my fascinate and put it in the droid to transfer pictures and ringtones?

Someone more experienced than me can answer for sure, but I think that they use a different file system.

My thoughts:

The card will work, but has to be formatted but that defeats the purpose, you want the stuff on it.

I would connect it to you computer and move the files you want there , then move it to the droid.

again, just my thoughts, I thought I had read that samsung has some kind of crappy files system....

that's kind of what I was thinking to be on the safe side, but i wasn't sure. thanks!

When I got my droid x, I removed my sd card from my Blackberry and used it in my droid. NO Problems I still had my pic's and ringtones.

You cannot go wrong being on the safe side of things. Like I said a few times, I am not sure about it though (as far as not being compatible)

I am thinking that there is a standard, but that I had read that Samsung didnt follow it. I am sure I am wrong, just need one of the guru's to come in and tell me so...lol. I would still back it up to the PC to be sure...

I took my SD card from my Blackberry Storm and put it into my Fascinate. It worked just fine. My point is that the photos are all taken in a jpg format and will be able to be viewed on any phone.

No format required. All the days is written to the card in a fat32 format for just about everything to my knowledge. Android uses a full scan so stuff doesn't need to be in any specific folder. Plug and play!

See I knew i was wrong...Thanks Sheepdog...what is the ext4 business about then? Isnt that a linux (which I know Android is based on) file format? Does that only apply to the internal memory and then the SD card is FAT?

What you're referring to is just the phone's internal memory. Samsung programmed the phone to use an RFS file system, when you use a voodoo kernel it converts the file system to EXT4 which is the linux file system. FAT32 was the most common and still is on smaller memory devices, while most desktops these days use NTFS

yep. That's just internal storage.
