Have already searched for this but did not find one, so any keyboard-happy vets keep the bashing at bay please
Q. Is it safe to remove the memory card whilst the phon is on e.g. previous phone (symbian N95) had a 'safely remove memory card' option so that the card could be removed whilst the phone was on?
So basically is 'hot-swapping' alright/good for the phone?
Cannot find this exactly but the HD2 owners manual says to insert the card before powering on, so I would guess that the inverse would be true as well. To have the phone powered off before removing it ...
All I got ....
wellllllllll, you probably shouldn't, but i have done several times with no ill effects. (mind you, i never use the 'safely remove hardware' on the pc to remove usb devices either, , maybe im not the best for advice, after all, hehe)
You may find that if something tries to write to the card whilst it is out of the phone, the system will make a folder called 'storage card' and call your card 'storage card2' when you reinsert it, which of course messes with your settings and apps. If that does happen you just rename the storage card folder to something else (it wont let you delete it till after the next steps), then restart the phone and it will put storage card2 back to normal.
I suppose there is no 'official' and 'safe' way of going about 'hot-swapping' ?
Yank said card put in another card. I have done it will all my phones with no issue.
Just did it a few hours ago with the power on. No issues..yet..
it really doesnt matter. the option in ur old nokia was comparable to the thing, windows has for usb sticks and such.
i dont think u click each time on the "safe remove" button when u remove ur usb stick from the pc?^^
well, im always removin my sd card without powering down^^ no problems here
i just ried it while surfing away on some apps....didn't cause a problem...but prob not advisable...just in case ;-)

I have never shut off the phone to change card..
Has been working great since HTC Wizard...
I guess it is OK to do so, however, if your send tabs are associated with storage card (such as reader, weather tab - else than original etc.) it may cause some problem. Nothing which can't be solved though.
no problem at all. I do it all the time my SD works like a charm, no need to switch your phone off. It's just a waiste of time. I always make a copy of my SD just in case, but never had problems in any way. Just my 2 cents
...I also have no issues with that
same here too. however, i always ensure that nothing is running from my sd card before removal. i go to task manager to end all task and process that is running off my sd card.
While I was copying data from internal memory to sd card, i deleted windows media. Now, i can't listen to any song and the phone doesn't ring when you receive a call, and all apps that use voice doesn't work. What you Suppose to do? i was thinking to hard reset but i don't if it will work again.
Please Help!
Hard reset should sort it, look on the bright side, its the perfect excuse to flash a new rom
I bought a Chinese GT-i9500 ] from Tiny Deal, about a week ago. The phone was descent until I realized the phone's memory was horrible. I then decided tho root the phone, then i backed up the apps I wanted to have on the phone (Google+, Instagram, Temple Run 2, a few others) I then realized that the system had alot o space so I installed the apps into the system storage freeing my internal memory allowing my phone to run smoothly.Then a day later my Simple Mobile sim card or any other sim card wouldnt work. So i decided to try to flash a recovery using MTKDroidTools. This then messed up ,phone. :crying: I dont know if its "bricked' or not but it feels like a brick.
-It powers on to a black screen (no matter what buttons i press alongside the power button)
-When plugged in to the wall, it displays the charging animation.
-When plugged in without the batterry, while holding the volume down button, device manager says "MT65xx preloader" with a caution sign next to it.
Can someone please help me? Or atleast help me help myself. Thanks:good:
Hello,
My phones screen is broken so touch controls won't work.
I'm trying to get the data of the phone (had allot of sentimental pics in there).
Is there any way to connect it as a mass storage device\suite without actually touching the screen?
I would really appreciate a quick response

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As long as you don't have a pin/pattern lock, it should connect automatically.
Otherwise, you'd best get familiar with ADB.
I have Verizon galaxy s9+ phone. I havent installed anything new recently but today my phone just started ringing or playing a notification sound, just out of the blue. But there is no notification when I pull screen down. No apps are open. I cant figure out why it's doing it. And I cant turn it off unless I restart my phone. Any clue what could be going on??
And I have a storage question also. I'm trying to move stuff to the SD card. But whenever I do it says there is not enuff space. Yet when i look in settings it says 1GB used out of 29GB. So there is space left. So why is it telling me different?
Thanks for taking the time 2 read this and hopefully respond. Thanks
