I found an sd card that was definitely in someone's android phone. Is there any file within the card that would have it's owner's info, so that I might contact them somehow and return what they've lost? Just going out of my way to be a good samaritan here....

Not by default, no. You can export contacts to the sdcard, but that would only contain "the owner" if they have themselves in their contacts. But you would also probably have no clue which one is them. While it is a grand gesture on your part, I think you are the new owner of a used sdcard. |

As Ryan said, you can export the contacts to the card, if you were to put the card in your phone you could potentially look at the contacts and maybe they have someone in their phone listed as "mom" or "girlfriend" or something that would help you identify them. |

Android by default doesn't save any personally identifiable info to the SD card, the system backs up/syncs important data to the web, not the SD card but there may be a chance that an app has saved something useful to there . Most apps store their main settings (which is where things like login names/email addresses would be) in the phone's internal memory, only using the SD card for storing larger files and cached data. The most obvious would be to look for pictures, but depending how they use their camera, etc that may not be any help. They may have files with identifiable info in the For some common apps that may be likely: If they've used an app like LifeSaver to back up their call log or message log to their SD card, then you could open that and look for frequently contacted numbers. This would be a text file in a folder called If they use Dropbox, they may have saved files with useful info into the Possibly the photos could be helpful |
