Can you guys help me out? I ordered new 32Gb SD cards for my wife and I. I was wondering Other than the obvious music and pictures what other files I should transfer over to the new cards.
 
Easiest thing would probably just be to put your current sd card in your PC, highlight and copy everything, and then paste it onto the new card. Depending on how you set up your phone, we don't know which apps or data you have running on the external or internal, etc. Basically if you want to switch cards without any hiccups it's best to just assume whatever is on the old card should go on the new card so the phone can find everything in the same place.

Will this process get all hidden files or are there things on the card that can't be transferred this way?
 
Shouldn't be any hidden files on the SD card unless you made them hidden, which, if you have your Windows set to show hidden files, will copy over anyway. But I do not believe there are any hidden system files on the SD card.
