Curve 8310 fails to read microSD card

Greetings,
I bought a Blackberry Curve 8310 last summer and it worked fine until November of last year when the phone failed to read my Micro SD media card. Thinking the media card was the problem, I have bought a new media card a few months ago to try fixing the problem. The problem still persists and I need help getting this fixed.
I currently use Blackberry 4.5 Device OS. Under Options in the phone's menu:
Media card support: on
Encryption mode: none
Mass storage mode support: on
Auto enable MSM when connected: Yes
Total space: 1.8 GB
Free Space: 1.4 GB.
This means the phone knows I have a media card but just cannot read it. For pictures, only the pictures I saved onto the microSD card using my computer can be seen, but pictures I took using the phone doesn't show up. When taking pictures, the camera indicates "File system out of resources". For music, all the music is visible, but when trying to play the songs, it doesn't do anything.
I have tried everything from turning off/on the phone, removing the battery to do a hard reset, not downloading any applications to see if they were the cause, and formatting the media card for blackberry use. I have even reformatted the phone 5 to 6 times and installed a clean new OS onto the phone and the problem is still there. The only short-term solution I found in fixing this problem is when using the Desktop Manager to backup my data on the phone. After backing up the data, the phone will recognize my media card and I can access it fine for about 2 to 3 days. Then the phone fails again and I have to keep backing up my data to get my phone to work. Now I am very tired of repeating this process. Either I get a long-term solution or I need a new phone (I believe I still have warrenty).
The phone is great but this problem is getting on my nerves. Someone please help me!

MBP won't read microSD card with adapter

My MBP won't recognize/read/mount a microSD card when I put it in an adapter and then a card reader. Is there anything I can do to make it see the card?

I've used both a Griffin expresscard34 5 in 1 reader (mine) and a USB SanDisk Mobile Mate SD+ (a friend's). I'm using the adapter that came with my microSD card to make it fit in a normal SD slot. When I put it in it doesn't see it at all, not in Disk Utility, not System Profiler. My Griffin reader shows up in System Profiler though. But if I let it sit in my computer for a while(5 min) sometimes it gives me a message that the disk I inserted is not supported, then it shows up in Disk Utility. It says that it's unformatted, I've tried to format it, repair it, erase it, nothing works. When I try to format it, I get an error saying it failed because of an input/output error. I know that the microSD card itself is fine, because my friend's reader has a microSD slot and it works when I use it. I just want my reader to work because i spent $30 plus shipping. so any help would be great.

Macbook pro fails to read sd card with movies recorded on it, any ideas? I can view them in the video camera so know they are there somewhere. I am now thinking I should have formatted or initialised the new card before using it.

My macbook pro is failing to read a new sd card with movies recorded on it. Any ideas please? A previously used SD card has downloaded without problems. I have tried using a card reader as well as downloading from the video camera itself, neither works.
I can view the latest recordings on the video camera so know they are there somewhere. I am now thinking I should have formatted or initialised the new card before using it but didn't think of that at the time. Obviously don't want to do this now as it will wipe the movies.

Memory Card for BB Curve 8310

I just got a Curve 8310. The max expandable memory stated is 4gb through a micro sd. I am wondering if this is the same as a 4gb micro sdhc? I've found a lot of conflicting thoughts on this and I thought I would try to clarify it here.

Yes, both a microSD and SDHC are compatible with a BlackBerry. The SDHC is just a newer format that can hold higher capacities than microSD card

Sony Xperia Z2 maximum supported write/read speed for MicroSD Cards

I am looking to buy one microSD card for my Xperia Z2 Phone (6503). My question is: how fast it can write data to an SD card. For what I know, these speeds depend of SD Card controller. If I will know approximative numbers I can acquire adequate microSD card. Right now I am trying to decide between: SanDisk SDSDQX-064G-U46A Extreme Plus 64 GB - 80 MB/s SanDisk SDSDQUA-128G-G46A Ultra 128 GB - 30MB/s Writing speeds for these microSD Cards are half of indicated reed sped numbers. I like 128 GB capacity of Ultra Card, but will not hesitate to buy faster 64 GB Extreme Plus Card.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you use 4K recording like features, you might need to get a high speed SD!(go for the Maximum speed you can)
So I think Extreme plus would be better in this case, but if your phone is everything for you (just like me) use the maximum capacity (Which has a better speed as well, otherwise useless) I use a class 10 128 GB!
As far a I know, I think even 30 MBP will be enough for a 4K video!

When will Adobe Reader support annotating pdf documents on a microSD card in lollipop android?

I really like Adobe Reader for annotation of pdf files on an external microSD cards in phones and tablets. Android Kitkat took access away. Android Lollipop gave it back.
When will Adobe Reader support annotating files on external micoSD cards in Lollipop?

Thanks for your request. We have noted it down for consideration.

SDHC microSD card 16gb work with Apple SD card reader

Is a 16gb MicroSDHC card able to be used to upload photos from my camera to my iPad Mini 2 using an Apple SD Card Reader? When I try, it says no photos found. I don't know if the problem is the card or the file structure on the card. The camera is a Samsung Smart Camera 2 and the file structure is DCIM>Camera>YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.jpg. I have seen on other posts that the DCIM sub-folder should be 8 characters and also that the photo file names should also be 8 characters plus ".jpg". Is the file structure the issue or the MicroSD card.
note that I have no problem with an SD card written by a Nikon D90.

No that accessory is only compatible with the iPad models

My Blackberry Curve 8310 has no video recorder on it

I there a way to upgrade my phone so I can have a capable video recorder to record videos?

That's odd... I have AT&T and a Curve 8310; it has both a video and audio recorder built into it. I could not access my video recorder until I bought and inserted a microSD card into the Curve. The video camera's recordings take up a lot of memory compared to the camera, and if you don't have a memory card installed, this could be your problem.
If you do have a memory card with space on it, it's possible that the video recorder icon was accidentally hidden from view on the Home screen. While in the Home screen, press the Menu button (to the left of the trackball) and make sure "Show All" is checked. This will show you all icons, even the hidden ones; see if you can find the video camera icon among your list of icons.
FYI - You can also access the video recorder through the "Camera" icon. Click on the Camera icon, then once the screen switches to camera viewfinder, click on the Menu button (left of the trackball) and select "Video camera." This will then give you recording access to the video feature if your device has memory.

BB Curve 8310 keeps freezing

Hello BB World,
I am a BlackBerry Curve 8310 user. My phone was working greatly! All apps were runing nicely. But recently, I deleted a app named TTY by mistake . After that whenever I opened the camera app, my phone freezes! I didn't know why. Then I hard-reseted my phone. But that didn't work.
After googling, I downlaoded the BlackBerry desktop manager. I connected my device via USB. The suite detected my device and showed to me that "an update is available". So after following some steps, I updated my BB from 4.3.x. to 4.5.xxx
After that update my phone started to work normally
But today, I'm facing the same problem. This time I did nothing The camera app and camcoder app freezes everytime I open them
PLEASE GIVE ME A SOLUTION....
** The desktop manager can't detect my phone anymore after that update WTF!!!
** I have a 2GB microsd card where 1.3 GB is free
** I installed a theme, but that didn't work so I uninstalled it..
Please give me suggestions... I don't know what to do. The camera app was working a few hours ago :\
Thank you! Please pardon my bad english

TTY is hearing aid support. The phone may not function properly again. Try to reload your so via blackberry desktop software.
