If not you will have to reinstall them all.</P><P>Go to Settings &gt; Apps &gt; Manage apps &gt; On SD card (tab at the top). Tap on each one of them and tap on "Move to phone".</P><P>When this is done you should connect the phone in Mass Storage mode to your PC using the USB cable. Transfer all files you don't want to loose. When the new SD card is in the phone you do the same thing but this time you transfer the files the other way.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 03 Nov 2011 14:39:03 GMT https://community.sony.cz/t5/other-general/need-advise-for-upgrading-memory-card/m-p/2873204#M10211 Markus1 2011-11-03T14:39:03Z Re: Need Advise for Upgrading Memory Card https://community.sony.cz/t5/other-general/need-advise-for-upgrading-memory-card/m-p/2873205#M10212 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You can free up some space by deleting the junk.</P><P></P><P>The following can be safely deleted</P><P>- demo videos in .demovideo folder - around 160 mb</P><P>- user guide files - 500 mb free</P><P>- three trial games in TryandBuy - 185 mb free</P><P></P><P>you can also delete PC Companion for another 187 mb if you do not use it</P><P></P><P>Once you are done the total space taken on the SD card is only 263MB.&nbsp; </P><P></P><P>The easiest way to do this is with a card reader on the PC,, just plug it it and start deleteing.&nbsp; YOu should make a backup by copying the whole card to a directory on the PC before you start in case you mess up.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 01:29:57 GMT https://community.sony.cz/t5/other-general/need-advise-for-upgrading-memory-card/m-p/2873205#M10212 malaugh 2011-11-04T01:29:57Z Re: Need Advise for Upgrading Memory Card https://community.sony.cz/t5/other-general/need-advise-for-upgrading-memory-card/m-p/2873206#M10213 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>If you buy a new card, just copy the contents of the old card to the new card on a PC,&nbsp;&nbsp; I replaced my card with a 16GB card by removing the junk, then copying the files that were left to the new card.&nbsp; Works Great</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 01:33:13 GMT https://community.sony.cz/t5/other-general/need-advise-for-upgrading-memory-card/m-p/2873206#M10213 malaugh 2011-11-04T01:33:13Z Re: Need Advise for Upgrading Memory Card https://community.sony.cz/t5/other-general/need-advise-for-upgrading-memory-card/m-p/2873207#M10214 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Big thanks everyone.:smileyhappy:</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 04:11:55 GMT https://community.sony.cz/t5/other-general/need-advise-for-upgrading-memory-card/m-p/2873207#M10214 2011-11-04T04:11:55Z
