Once we get the EVO 3D, will the best way to transfer over data, apps, etc be by using Titanium or MyBackupPro?
Figured I'd ask this right away so that we don't see 20 threads like this on launch day.
HA! with 3 weeks to go you should have waited. we'll have 10 just like it anyways. once this gets buried, if it even takes that long the way this section is going.
I thought transferring data between phones was a bad idea. I was thinking you could just transfer the appropriate backup folder and restore apks only.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't transfer data over to another phone. Only thing I will move over will be my Titanium Backup folder that only has apps backed up, no system data etc.
But for things like pictures and videos you can just put them on your sd card and put it into your new phone right?
user app data should be fine. and media like pics and vids also fine.

What will be the best method to transfer your programs with saved data when the 3d is released? I was thinking TB synching with dropbox. Any other suggestions?

I would suggest backing up all of your SD card data on your computer. When you get the 3D copy back to the SD card and install TB, then restore all apps+data.....but skip system apps+data.
Worked for me when I switched from my TP2 running Haret to the EVO.

No problem.
I'm sure if anyone else wants to chime in there are other ways.....this one just seemed the easiest to me.
Hope it helps

Well I do have a 16gb card on the EVO 4G. I think I will copy everything like you said and reformat the card then just transfer back the TB folder and that's it. Hopefully that works. I want to still use the 16gb card for the 3D.

To use TB on the evo 3d wouldn't you have to be rooted? So what if root access isn't available for a few weeks or so, then what?
There's a handy program called MyBackup with both root and non-root flavors that in some ways is very similar to TB. I used it for a while before going back to TB (more features).

Upgrade to a gingerbread rom with the google account backup feature
It saves your home screen background, applications, and more. They're all reinstalled at first boot, so nothing nasty lingers behind to muck things up....
You'll have to redo passwords and other program settings, but it saves a lot of time.

I have a gb rom now. How does that backup thing work? I noticed it restored from an earlier rom and some apps were restored. Does this randomly backup to Google or something?

K what am I missing? I was going to just put my loaded 4G Sdcard into the 3D.

What folder are these items being stored in on the memory card? That's what I was not understanding.
I just got the 3D today and I was wondering how I would move all my game saves, etc. from my Intercept to the 3D. Thank you for the response!
if it is rooted, use titanium backup or another backup program, then install the apps on your 3d and restore the data
This happened to me last night. I lost a lot of videos, pics and music randomly. A lot of pics have an error and all the pics I lost say it is a file of 64kb. But when I try to open I get a file error. Has this happened to anyone else? Could it be the phone or the memory card? I had this card on my OG EVO with no problems.
See if you can view the files on another memory card. If so, then the memory card has gone bad.
Wait the file size went down to 64kb? Yea the memory card may be corrupt.

damn man... that sucks
i was having issues with my SD in the evo4G so i started backing it up to my computer weekly just in case.
Sorry to hear about your loss of media
If the card has gone bad will reformatting it possibly fix it or do I need a new one?
Used to happen constantly on my hero! Wipe your SD card and it should be good. Back when I had my hero it would happen when my phone would die but once I wiped it a couple of times, took it out and put it into my computer and made sure everything was off and it was good. Hope it works for you.

Doesn't hurt to try that and see if it works... If the files work on other cards or even on your comp, it is safe to say it has gone bad. But like I said, it doesn't hurt to try it.

Will try that thanks.
I'm hoping someone can put my mind at rest. I just sold my Atrix online. Before doing so I did a factory reset, I don't remember if it said erase everything or internal memory but whatever it said I selected it. Phone turned off and restarted at the motoblur sign in screen just like when I got it.
I shipped it out but I never checked that internal memory (downloads folder dcim folder) were actually deleted.
Was everything erased? I had some bank statements, time cards, pay stubs and other things that I don't want in some strangers hands.
The external sd card was not included with the phone, I kept that for myself.
Is there anything I can do now to make sure the data is gone?
Thanks in advance

Well since the atrix sees the internal memory as an SDCARD it might not have been erased, but I could be wrong...

Afaik factory reset does NOT delete the internal memory aka SDCARD. For example I keep different .zips like ROMs or bootanims on my SDCARD (not ext) and they are always still there after a data wipe.
What about using the motoblur online tool to secure the phone and wipe data? That says it wipes downloads and files.

Hey guys.
So I went to work today and while I was on break, my phone acted up a couple of times. Once, the mobile internet cut itself off and I had to restart my phone to get it to turn back on.
Then when I get off of work, my phone isn't reading my SD card.
I tried unmounting and then mounting it back several times, but no luck getting anything.
So then I hooked it into a card reader on my computer and all the files show up, then suddenly the computer got an error saying that the driver wasn't recognized and then stopped reading it.
What is the problem and how can this be fixed?
I can even open Root Browser app and it shows all the files on my SD card. All pictures, music, videos, etc.
But for some reason when I go to gallery, music, or whatever else... it won't pull up.
Back it up to pc if u can then reformat it to fat32

I wish I could. My computer will read it but only for a few seconds and then says something about a driver error.
I'm guessing the card may be going bad?

Just tried doing this, and surprisingly, yes. So I got it all copying to the computer now.
It just doesn't make sense to me that it can mount like this and my files still be on the card and not read when I go to pull them up. Especially when I go to Root Browser and I can see all the files.

So I copied all files to my computer, formatted the SD card again, put all files back onto the SD, and still have the same problem.
Note that my phone is reading the SD in Root Browser; however, when I go to my gallery, music, videos, etc.. my phone tells me that there are none and acts as if the SD card is empty. I even go to SD and Storage and it says my card is empty, but it's not.

You're going to need a new one bud. There is definitely something wrong with it physically if you have done aall of that and it is still doing that.

Just wiped my phone completely and restored my most recent backup and now my phone reads it just fine, so problem fixed.
Undoubtedly my phone got set to some strange setting while it was in my back pocket that I never knew my phone had.
Strange. =\
Thanks for the help guys. I suppose if you see anyone or if you run into this problem in the future, here's how it can be fixed.

You didn't use quick format, did you? If so, try formatting it without quick format.

I had the same problem, I did the same thing as well. I noticed it happen when I downloaded a free game app from Amazon App store. I had to uninstall it b/c it kept on force closing. Soon after I had this SD problem.

The thing is... I haven't downloaded or changed anything at all with my phone in over 2 weeks. Either it tripped out or something happened to where a setting changed while it was in my back pocket.
Glad I fixed it.
I had a feeling it was probably a setting issue that happened, so I got the idea to restore from a backup to get back original settings and BAM!

I have a PNY 32gb sdcard that's been working perfectly since I picked up the S4 in May. This morning there was a message on my phone saying there isn't an sdcard detected. I've tried popping it in and out several times, rebooting, etc. None of that helped. It's not even visible in recovery. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm stumped.
Sometimes sd cards go bad without warning. It's best to keep your important things backed up on your computer. Sounds to me like you need a new card.

Yeah, I guess the obvious next troubleshooting step here is trying a different sdcard (which I don't have now). Just wanted to see if there was a known issue slash easy solution that was out there already.
You can try your sd card in your computer before trashing it. You might be able to get it to work long enough to retrieve your saved files.
