I have never had to swap out or change an SD card so I've never had to deal with this issue.
When my EVO LTE comes I am passing my 3D onto my daughter, who has an EVO Shift. She wants to keep her SD card and use it in the 3D mainly because of her games and game files. I can't just pop the SD card out of her shift and put it in the 3D, can I? And aren't there files on my 3D SD card needed to run things on the phone?
And if I want to use the SD card out of the 3D for my LTE, wouldn't I have to format it first?
Nothing on the card needed to run the phone. Except for the green hornet file. I don't think they install to different locations but just to start fresh id backup both of ur cards. Then install hers in the 3d format have here install all her apps and then from the backup u made replace the app data on SD so she has her saves and what not. And don't forget to backup pics and music to. As for ur card in the LTE a format isn't necessary but it won't hurt help u stay organized I'm backing up my card reformating it and putting it in my LTE fresh. Hope some of this helps haha

Went to look at some pics off my SD card last night and realized that the phone had deleted them.
But what was weird, beside the fact that they got deleted, was that the phone didn't delete all my pictures. Out of about 200 pics, it deleted around 190 of them. Very strange.
Has this happened to anyone else??
Not I. The SD Card and the pictures contained should be virtually untouchable without direct user interaction. Did you possibly put them on the external SD? Are you trusting Gallery or did you check with a file manager as well? Lastly, have you used HTC sync or any other tool that could copy/backup these pictures(and maybe delete them after sync)
Same thing happened to me. Lost about 90% of my pics. Don't know how it happened. Was able to recover most of them using a program that is on hirem's boot cd.

I used ASTRO file manager to double check that the pictures were actually deleted.
I don't sync my phone with my computer so I don't know how the pictures would have been deleted.
Needless to say, it's very disconcerting that my SD card could be vulnerable to something like this. I can understand, somewhat, if it was the phones internal storage, but not my SD card.
Luckily I had backed up my SD card on my computer recently (copy and paste method) so I didn't lose too many pictures.
He didnt like your dirty pics

I would say keep your SD backed up and if it happens again exchange the phone.

as a backup method, you could use sugarsync. They have a 5gb free account and can back up all pictures and videos automatically.
Hey everybody, let me speak to this.
More than likely your pictures are NOT deleted.
This has happened to me several times. I'd open the gallery and would not see any of my pictures, save for a few that are on the Phone Storage.
All I did was 'unmount' and 'remount' the SD card in the settings menu under 'SD & Phone Storage.
I have not been able to pinpoint the exact cause of the external SD mount getting jacked, but it might be around the USB debugging, or setting your phone to usb disk drive mode.
Anyway, a quick unmount/remount, and all my pictures were back in the gallery. I hope the same works for you, good luck!
There was also an issue where if you where flashing boot.IMG through hboot they were being ereased. Check out dsb kernel thread over at team bamf.

I was just reading that thread!
I think they were talking about the internal card and not the external though. Still, something to watch out for. Always good to make a back up of everything before flashing.
How do I make sure when I move apps to my sd card, they dont go to my internal sd folder (ext_sd)
I do have a external sd card, but even-though I'm moving apps to my sd card, it seems to be empty

That behavior is by design and won't be easy to change it. If you root your phone and add some mods to it, you could store app on your external sd, but I think it's more work than what you get in return because you won't be filling up your internal sd before other things start to break. I am assuming you are storing everything else (i.e. music and photo files) on the external card, though.
thank you for clearing that out for me...
well , seems htc is not the phone I thought it was...

I am using an SD card in my note that I originally used in my HTC evo. I just backed the card up to my computer and formatted it. I know stuff like pics and music, while not important to the operation of the phone, are things I want to keep. But is there anything that is needed? I would assume no, since there was nothing on it to start when I used it with my evo. And I have used my note without an SD card before. I'm just wondering if I should leave it empty(with the exception of pics and music) or if I should copy anything else back to it.
Does the note put nandroids on the SD card or internal memory?
My phone puts my backups to my cwm folder on my internal storage. I only have my music and movies on my SD card. I also have my phone set to install to internal memory so it doesn't mess with sdcard. I would think our good. Just double check your folders to be sure

Pretty much this, you can use Titanium Backup to move your games to external storage if you want to, but you need to have root access first.
You can use mode that swaps internal with external.
if i move my game to external using titanium, do my save game exist? or it still detect when the game launch?
thanks for the hints anyways

You can actually, I don't know how well it works but it is indeed a feature in it.

I'm not sure. As I said before I haven't exactly used this feature at all, but data for apps is saved in a different location than where the apps are installed so I guess it would be alright.

That is not moving game data from android data folder to external sd ..its just for apps that dont support app2sd ..it copyes from device to internal sd card not external.
Hi,
If I put a memory card with data on it like from my ThunderBolt. So I can restore some data from titanium backup. Will the note 2 automatically reformat the thunderbolt memory card when I boot up with it. I don't plan on leaving it in the phone just want to restore some user data like game data.
Thanks,
Bryan
It will definitely read your card but if you want to keep some data from your card to your phone you have to move files from your card to your phones internal memory. Or you can always put your card from your thunderbolt into a card reader, connect your gn2 with new card to your pc and transfer data that way. But if you just want to transfer game data from one device to another, check out wwjoshdew in YouTube, his tutorial on titanium backup with transferring game data from one device to multiple devices is hella cool.
