SD Card Recovery

[charitycaquelin]

I just had my HTC Thunderbolt replaced because the charging port had gone bad...how do I get my apps off of my SD Card and put onto my replacement?

Hello to you Charitycaquelin!

I'm thrilled that you were able to get your phone replaced! Let's get you back in the swing of things!

The SD Card will keep your application information that way when you reinstall the app it still is backed up! The quickest way to redownload your applications is by visiting www.google.com/play > log in > choose My Android Apps tab. You can click the install button and it will send it straight to your phone!

Thanks,

Well, I'LL BE DARNED!!  Melissa!  You are the first actual Customer Service person I've ever seen answer ANYTHING on this Thunderbolt board!!!!  I'm dumbfounded.  Could you please go through the rest of the threads and see if you can actually HELP somebody else??!  That would be wonderful.  I won't hold my breath tho..

You do realize this is a customer-to-customer forum and not Verizon Customer Service?  Yes, Verizon reps sometimes pop in and respond, but it's sporadically.

If you access the card via your computer, does it find the files?

[ericalynn98]

how do i do that

Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable and see if any of your files are on the SD card.  If that doesn't work, just to double-check, you could remove the SD card (be sure not to touch the gold part) and insert in your computer's card reader (assuming it has one or that you have an external one) and see if the files are there.  If the files are there, back them up to your computer and get into the habit of backing them up.  If they aren't there, you may be able to recover them using appropriate software; I've done that before, but it was several years ago and I don't remember which software I used ... you could search the internet for one.
