Hi,

I copied everything off my 1GB flash card onto my PC and then copied back to the new 4GB card. It all worked fine, so I thought. When I try to access any of my apps or games they are all unavailable. Is there a trick to this or do I need to reinstall everything?

You should format your new memory card first, then copy the data from your PC to your new memory card.

Should work fine. It's not like installing the apps/games is anything more than copying a Jar file.

good luck. that reminds me, I need to fill up my 16GB card

Must set Show hidden files and then copy all from 1 GB to PC and then from PC to 4 GB.

OR

Read here: Send installed applications/games only DB2020 ( K800i , K810i , V630i , W880i and other )

just move the apps first to phone memory(if u have enough space though) and then transfer it back to your memory card so u won't need to reinstall it

cheers...
