I know Avatar is on the stock 2gb external card. But I just came from the Slide, so I want to use my 8gb card. I would still like to have this movie though.
I dont know where my card adapter is, so would it be safe to:
1. Put SD card in phone
2. Copy (or move? which?) from 2gb to PC
3. Put 8gb card in phone
4. Move folder from PC to 8gb
Yup, should work just fine.
Or. if you have another phone or SD card reader available.
Plug that in with your Vibrant and move Avatar from your previous SD card to the 8GB.

Hi guys,
When I insert my 4 GB memory card into Galaxy, it doesn't read it. Does anyone have an idea what is the reason. The card was recently in Nokia N82 and everything was fine.
Does your computer read it?
Tried to format it with computer or SGS2? (FAT32)
I don't want to format it, cos don't want to loose data stored on card, but i'll try different one.

Then back it up on your PC, format the card and then put it all back on the SD card.

I had to laugh when i saw that))
JD
Just a typical case of laziness.
Or Ignorance....
do i have to do it in a computer or can i do it in the flyer itself?
Either works fine, . . . or neither. Most all Micro-SD cards (as well as SD, thumb drives, and other portable flash memory) come already pre-formatted to FAT32 out of the box, which is what the Flyer uses. You don't need to format it, unless this is a Micro-SD that you have been using for something else, and either want to wipe it, or you have previously formatted to something other than FAT32.
Well I got a 16Gb Micro SDHC card from Office Depot...brick and mortar... stuck it my Flyer and the flyer wont recognize it. I have formatted it 3 times... fat 32, 32 and it still wont see it. Just soft reset the flyer with the card in side, still dosent see it. Could I have a bad card?
I had your same problem.then i solved with a format(ms-dos) from a mac OS.
Ok... I tried formatting with a mac os. Didnt work. I insert my sdhc card. The flyer says preparing for use, card mounted, then it is safe to remove the card. The card never shows up under total storage or available space.
Now the funny thing is when I go to applications...it says that there are programs installed on the SD card. But I am now trying to put the first sd card into it. So why is it thinking that it already had a SD card?
But what is the brand of this micro sd?
sandisk micro sdhc
mhm..i have a sandisk also!are you sure that it is a genuine sandisk?Look for in internet h2testw.exe and try to test your microsd..
It works on my laptop. it just won't work in the flyer.....
I got it to work. Had to hard reset it first, but it works

For some reason, the Flyer reads some of its internal memory as SD, and the Micro-SD card as "ext-SD" or a second SD card.
Hi this is how i do :
With the memory card in your Flyer,
click on Settings -> SD and Phone storage -> Unmount SD card.
Once it unmounts, click Format SD card.
sd card issues in htc flyer
I'm in "settings" on my htc flyer.
SD Card says: 1) total space/unavail, 2)Available/unavail, 3) Mount SD Card/Insert an SD card for mounting, 4) Erase SD Card/Erase music,pictures.....
1) & 2) - shouldn't it say how much space I have avail?
3) I had Best Buy insert the card (didn't want to be the one to tear up the cover!) & they said nothing about "mounting" or "formatting" it prior to use.
4) I've tried to erase the card & nothing happens when I touch the "erase" line
I can't remember how I got to this point but I've gotten the message, "SD card full", before. Why?
I'd like to put all of my movies, & maybe my books, on my sd card so they're not on the htc in case it fails. I'm looking @ the htc flyer manual online but I can't see how to load data (movies, books, pics, etc) directly to the sd card.
I wish there was some kind of "training" avail to learn how to use my new toys <sigh>.
TIA for any help or suggestions!!

used the directions immediately above my initial inquiry & got it to format/mount THANKS!!!!!
but... still need to know how to send data to the sd card directly. I went into my computer & dragged the movie from the htc to the sd card & it shows up in my computer. how do I access it on the htc? how do I get the htc to look on the sd card instead of internal memory? when I upload a book/movie/picture/etc, how do I get it to directly to the sd card instead of internal memory? TIA!!!!

Because there really is an internal micro-SD card in the Flyer. It has DDR2 RAM for the internal memory, plus an internal micro-SD, plus the external slot for an additional micro-SD card. That's why you see two "sdcard"s listed. When you move some applications to SD, you're moving them to the internal card. The external SD will only contain whatever you copy to it in whatever folder arrangement you set up.

No internal micro-sd on this. Probably just onboard memory used for storage as "sd-card".

When you connect the tablet via USB you should now have two additional drives show up. One of mine is called HTCVIEW which is the tablet storage. The other one is the SD card, but I am not sure what it was labeled originally since I renamed it. Anyway put your media there.
To have your android apps access them, they need to look in either of two directories /sdcard2/... or /sdcard/ext_sd/...
Both of the above directories point to the exernal sdcard. So for me, my videos are in /sdcard/ext_sd/Videos, and books in /sdcard/ext_sd/Books, etc. You just need to tell your apps to look in the appropriate place.
If your android app requires a specific directory on /sdcard for it to work you can use an app called directorybind (only if you are rooted) to have the files on the external sdcard but have the internal sdcard point to them to make the app happy. directorybind can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
I'm running CM7 from an external SD Card but have a SD card Error in the notification bar while running. I also have a large portion of the card as dead space. Any suggestions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005633
1) Read this link 1st and make sure your card is fast enough!!
If it's not a Sandisk card, good luck!
2) Do a complete format of the card, followed by a sector-by-sector scan to check for errors if you really want to know if there's any problems there that happen to exist.

Are you able to access the contents of your SD card storage at all?

Haven't added anything to it after making the CM7 boot disk cause I'm not sure how with it partitioned 4 ways. I am able to download apps ect and data is saved even if I reboot the device.
does anyone know how i can rename my sd card since it shows as mounted but no app can access it. i was using the same SD card in my droid razr.
it shows as extSdCard but all the apps that require an SD card give an error that SD card isn't present/mounted
im using the galaxy s3
thanks in advance

Why do you want to re-name the SD card?
Unmount and remount the SD card, perhaps? Or format via recovery, if rooted?
Is it SDXC or SDHC?
SDXC might cause problems sometimes - exFAT, FAT32 and all that jazz.

I could access mine. Just go to mnt/EXTSDcard.
I can't move apps to it though, like everyone else...

Cant tell if its blur from the camera or is that label printed at an angle?
Either way, its more important where you bought it, not its appearance. If its ebay then thats an immediate red flag.
Use h2testw.exe to test the card on windows. You probably need a card reader / phone that has usb mass storage mode.
This will tell you if its fake / faulty.
Essentially, fake cards are smaller (cheaper) but programmed to look bigger, so when you hit its true capacity, it starts over writing the older files.... hence these issues.
H2testw will tell you - http://db.tt/b1g0gTPZ
