Nokia 5800 - upgrading to 16Gb

Hello,

 

I just aquired Nokia 16Gb MicroSD card and I want to upgrade my phone. The question remains unclear to me up to date is whether and HOW I could transfer my purchased software from old card to new one? I hate to think I should buy it once again, so there should be solution.

 

I am afraid OVISuit/PCSuit backups only contacts, music files, photos but not software installed. Am I right?

 

Please advice how to move my applications and games to new card. Thank you.

Re: Nokia 5800 - upgrading to 16Gb

connect your Nokia 5800 via mass storage mode. copy all the folders from the memory card on to your computer eg C:\5800\

 

Now do the following...

1. Put the new memory card into the Nokia 5800

2. Format the New 16GB MicroSDHC if is not formatted.

3. copy all the folders and files from eg C:\5800 on to your memory card

 

Now check if you applications and games work :smileyhappy:

Let me knw.

Nope. Not working. This was the way I tried before asking.

When you tried it did you also copy the hidden and system files? It will not work unless they are copied too.

Well, I reinstalled Nokia software on my PC, after this data transfer finally works properly.

Did manual back up thru USB mode and put everything back on new card - now it seems working too. I will further check if everything works properly, but at least it's the result already! ;-)

 

So, reinstalling Nokian files could be the key.

Hiya, having slight problems upgrading to 16Gb card (Transcend class 6). Did a manual drag and drop from old card to new formatted card now in phone. Phone still works though comes up withj "System Error" message on power up. Takes ages to find photo's (updated Music library seems to work). Lost access to the Apps I've downloaded.

You say reinstall Nokia Software. Do you mean PC suite? And at what point did you use the PC suite?
