Hello everyone

I changed my phone and my SD card no longer appears. Should I format it or take it out?

Thank you very much for your feedback

    Hello,

    I have never heard of an operator transferring content that, by definition, is not accessible to them if it is stored internally or on an SD card. Only emails and messages are temporarily stored on their servers.

    Unless you had it done as a service by an employee of a store. And they showed you that the operation was successful.

    Furthermore, what response do you give to the question?

     

    my SD card no longer appears

    then:

     

    it appears on my phone!

    Please clarify.

      Hello,

      your initial post:

      my SD card no longer appears

      then:

      it appears on my phone!

      Can you please clarify?

      In any case, do not disassemble because we only disassemble on the original device (your old phone) before removing the card, which you can test again.

      As for formatting, if you do not intend to recover the old data, you can do it on the new one, and in case of failure (unusable card), test on a new card. Your data will be erased (recoverable in some cases using a utility).

      Moreover, if you still have the old phone, connect it via USB cable to a computer to copy/paste (not move) the data, which you will transfer if necessary to the internal memory of the new phone or to a new SD card.

    Hello

    When I changed my phone, the operator did everything necessary to transfer everything, so everything I had on the SD card was transferred.

    In storage, there is internal storage and below, an unmounted SD card, and SFR had transferred all my applications, photos... to my new phone.

      Testing a new card by trying to save a file on it.

    Hello,

    Your new smartphone may not recognize the SD card. Connect it to your PC with an SD adapter, then back up your data in your file explorer. After that, you can format it using Windows Disk Management, in FAT32.

        In that case, go to some friends or acquaintances; it doesn't take long to do!
