I installed an SD card from my old phone into my RMaxxHD, which seemed to be recognized by the phone. However, I am unable to move pics, apps, etc. to the SD card. Any ideas? Does the SD card need to be formatted for the new phone? If so, how to do this?
Thanks!

I don't know why it would need formatting but you can go into Settings>Storage and format it there.

in the settings>storage, you can see if it detects your card at all. Then check to see if you can mount the SD card.

what size sd card and what class. this does make a difference. if its 32 or 64 than you shouldnt be above class 4 sometimes it wont even read that its there.
this is caused by the speed of the sd card itself. so this is one possibility

you need to install the card into a pc, copy the files to the pc, then format the card, then install the card into the razr, and format it, then copy the files from the pc back to the phone. I just experienced this from a memory card from a Thunderbolt to a droid razr. Problem solved (;

I have to disagree with you here VK, I got a Class 10/UHS-1 64 GB in my Razr, and it works fine after I properly formatted it (that wasn't quite fun, but only have to do it once)what size sd card and what class. this does make a difference. if its 32 or 64 than you shouldnt be above class 4 sometimes it wont even read that its there.

I believe the issue instead lies with the way the SD Card is formatted. An older phone may have slight formatting differences, or something corrupted.

I would lean more towards a bit different formatting..... That just happened to my wife... She "borrowed" our daughter's sdcard and couldnt access anything unless she put it in the computer.... Once she formatted it in the razr tho... She had full access to the new files on it.... (daughters phone is a older style non android)
