Swap the internal storage!! possible??

[Mithun Prabhu]

I'm actually sick & tired using the external SD card on my Ativ S.
It always ends messing up a few files! I tried all the suggestions on this forum, but the results are ZERO
The worst mess is with the music files!!!! on reboot after syncing the music!! artists and albums go missing!!!

I observed that this not the case when syncing in the internal storage!!
So I was just thinking if the internal memory card could be swapped to a bigger one!!

I had done this on the HTC 7 Surround and it was perfect!!! All I had to do after the swap was just a hard reset!!
Is this possible on the Ativ S?
any help? suggestions?

I don't know, but it would be interesting. The problem I could see is that the OS is loaded on the internal storage. How could you replace it with a larger, but empty one? You would have no OS.

WP no longer use a sealed sd to pretend an internal storage, instead they use a fused in memory chip.

well I'm not all that of a technical expert, but with the help from guys at XDA I swapped the default 16 GB with an 32 GB card on the 7 Surround.
the phones prompts a message if you had to reinstall the operating system.

I think the problem is on your card. MAybe broken, compatibility issues or too slow. I have a class10 Samsung card that works great without any problems. I had this card on my HTC 7 Pro also without any issues. When I changed the internal memory to my Pro, it was way more difficult to find a card that didnt cause any problems than for the Ativ. If I would be you, I would try a different card. And no, you cannot change the internal memory of the Ativ.

Yup!! Sorry.. I dint see the first post after keying on...

And yes may be I should try a new card. I was running on a class 6 Kingston 32 GB card.
I would try it with a class 10 card today. Hopefully it would not cause any more trouble.
