I am receiving a replacement Razr Maxx because my old one got soaked. Can I take the SD card out of my old one and put it in my new one to avoid having to completely reset up my new phone? I know the SIM cards are not transferable but the SD cards are. I'm just not sure what imfo is stored on the SD card.
You Can Move the Sim Card to your Old Phone to the New One: But this is were i'm going to Stop you on both Cards you said your old Maxx got Soaked! Right that means the Card got it Too Do Not Take the Chance of sticking a Card that got soaked as Well in your New Maxx SD Cards are Not that High an you not Going T Loose that Much Getting a New One. Do you shop at Wallmart They Have a PNY 16 GB 10 Series Card witch is Great for fast Moving Apps an Taking Videos or Pictures. Another Place that has Some Good 10 Series Cards is Best Buy They Have a 32 GB SanDisk for $39.99 Dollars So there not to high to invest in another one..b33
Thank you.

soak the card in dry white rice for 24 hours & if you have a reader, try to access it with a pc/mac.
fwiw:
i inadvertently sent 2 automobile keys thru the washing machine.
popped the batt on 1, the other was sealed, couldn't find any rice so wrapped each in a diaper for 24 hours.
both retained memory for locking/unlocking & all other functions, which was good.
to replace both would have been close to $500.
Bear i didn't i know about the White Rice ! I would have steered the OP in that Direction.. I just did want to See that the Card Failed when he put it into his Device.. I will remember that for Future Reference. Can i ask Bear is there instruction on this Procedure.. b33
electrical device resurrection after swimming lesson101.
white rice
1 plastic bag
remove sd card
fill bag with rice to cover sd card
leave sd card in rice 24 hrs minimum
re-insert batt if removed
see if device works
if device doesn't work, replace device.
notice i said, "try to access it with a pc/mac".
never mentioned placing in phone for ops check.
Ok gottcha Thank ya Sir! Bear just wanted to ask if that Scenario would Happen to Say like the Droid X Could you after you pull the Battery an other things Put X Into the Bag of Rice to Pull the Moisture out if Enough for To Work? b
nothing's for sure.
it was worth my time doing what i did but i did called my mechanic to see if it would/could kill the car & he said the key was probabaly dead but give it a try & wouldn't damage the car.
it would maybe start the car but all other functions would be gone, as he's seen in similar circumstances.
i guess if the card checks out ok in a reader with the pc, there's no guarantee it wouldn't kill the phone as it powered up.
i might be tempted to try it on another phone that i only used as a backup, like my old voyager, which uses the same sd card but certainly not a replacement droid, that doesn't come with a card..
Ok thanks,,, b33

I have done the same things with a phone before, and also with a computer hard drive, and it has worked..
Azurion told me to do the rice bag thing when I called in my claim. Tried, didn't help. New phone will be here Monday.
