Micro SD Card Handling

[dbornack]

Anyone know what the phone's behavior will be when I insert an SD Card? Usually I would want to format the card with the phone if I'm going to keep it in there 100% of the time. But right now, I'll be removing it now and then.

Can I just plug it in, and the phone will recognize the directories that I already have on the card if the card was originally formatted in Windows? Obviously I can back up my SD Card first, format it on the phone, and move my stuff back to the card after.. Just wondering what the best way to go about this is. I haven't had a phone with an SD Card slot since my GSIII.

As long as the card is exFAT format it shouldn't be an issue. It will detect any media in it and display it accordingly (well should).


If the card is NTFS formatted, it won't work

if it a fat32 memory card you can cross-swap as much you want. You do not need to format on the phone... I never really did ...

I pulled my SD card out of the Note 7 and dropped it into the V20. No problems.

Cool. Thanks!

Will the card once inserted be encrypted or can it remain unencrypted in the v20 ?
