Question

Will the files that are already stored on my SD card remain on the card when I move it to another phone?

Community Answer

Yes, the SD card will act exactly like a USB or hard drive. You should make sure that the new phone can read the files and have a file browser that will access them, but the files will absolutely still be on the SD card.

Question

What would cause the SD card in my Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo to fail to mount?

Community Answer

There could be debris preventing the connection. Try blowing out the SD card slot with an air duster, and ensure that the SD card itself is clean.

Question

Will pictures on an SD card be lost if I put it in a phone?

Community Answer

Not unless you delete them using the phone. If you just put the SD card in the phone and download and/or look at them, you should be fine.

Question

What is the small slide for on the side of a blue card?

Community Answer

If you are using an adapter for a micro SD into an SD card, then the slide is to lock the SD into the adapter, so it doesn't fall out.
