16GB Microsd Card

I would like to purchase a 16GB Microsd Card for my 8830. The 8830 is currently using a 4GB card with no problem on this Sprint phone. Will the 16GB card work on the 8830 - are there any issues with larger capacity cards?
Thank you.
Danno.

  • 6600 Slide with 16GB MicroSDHC card??

    Look at the compatibility page here:
    http://europe.nokia.com/products/accessories/all_accessories/memory-cards-and-cables/memory-cards/MU...
    The 3600 and the 6600 fold are here, but not the 6600 slide. What does that mean? is it compatible with the new 16GB cards or not??
    All this MicroSDHC compatibility issue is turning to be such a fiasco..

    This, straight from the horse's mouth (so to speak):
    "I have checked on this and it is confirmed that the 6600 Slide supports up to 16GB micro SD card. I do apologies for the information may have been stated on the user guide is incorrect. We appreciate it that you have highlighted us with this."
    That's all the clarification I need. Right, off to buy a 16GB microSD card! Yippee!!!

  • N79 to C7 microSD card

    Using a 16GB microSD card in the N79 at the moment but have a C7 on order. Can I just use it with the C7 as it has a lot of data on it or do I need to format it and start from scratch? (Saving data first of course). TIA

    I would strongly recommend that you copy all the data to a PC/Mac, keep all the Music/photos/videos files on the memory card and delete all the other folders from the card except the ones containing those items.
    reason is that you will have applications, applications settings and maps data installed on the card which won't really be compatible with your C7 and will most likely make a bit of a mess of your new phone.

  • New MicroSD card in 5230 Nuron?

    I bought a 16gb MicroSD card for my 5230 Nuron. How do I transfer everything from the original 4gb card to the new card? I've downloaded some apps and themes and I want to make sure they get transferred to the new card. I tried doing a full backup and restore using Ovi Suite and some of the downloaded apps made it and some didn't. I tried to re-download some of them from Ovi Store but Ovi Store seemed to think they were still there and wouldn't let me download them again.  Is it as simple as copying the contents of the old card to the new card?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can clone the card using a PC and a card reader (or the phone is mass storage mode).  Just use windows explorer/file manager, not ovi sute or PC suite.
    Copy the entire contents of the old card to a PC making sure that hidden and system files are visible.
    Format the new card (in the PC) then copy everything to it. When you place the new card in the phone it should behave just like the old card with all apps still working.
    I have used this method several times over the years and never had any issues.

  • 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

  • Nokia Lumia 1520 video recording on Microsd card i...

    First off, I have a Nokia Lumia 1520 for about one month now.  I love the screen size and everything.  My picture/video recording to phone memory works fine.  I have recently purchased a Class 10 Sandisk Pixtor 64GB microsd card from Best buy for video/pictures storage due to this device having only 16GB of memory.
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-pixtor-64gb-microsdhc-class-10-memory-card/1299201.p?id=12190475...
    Picture taking is fine writing to this card.  However, I noticed that on all video recording mode (720p to 1080p), the video would sometimes skip and lose a few frames here and there.  For example, when i try to record a video of a kid running, the video playback will show the kid run across but would jerk or freeze a bit during his run (almost like the phone is too busy doing other tasks during recording).  Playing the same videos on a computer show the same result which means the video taken were bad to begin with.  My temporary fix is to switch video/picture recording to the phone storage itself but that defeats buying the sd card in the first place.
    Anybody else having this issue?  I couldn't find another microsd card to test but i wonder if the phone itself is having a performance issue with sd cards in general.  Should i engage with tech support from Nokia?

    It is quite well known that Class10 card are overkill on a mobile phone and in many cases have been proven to actually have worse performance when compared to even Class4 cards.
    Class10 cards really only make sense in (high end) DSLR ca,eras where itis a requirement the shots can be written to the card fast. In practical use the class only indicates the card cab sustain a transferrate of X MB/s and with that in mind a Class4 card even will be plenty fast for your mobiel phone.
    Due to the fact a Class10 card is basically overspec for the hardware it may even cause timing issues.

  • How to sync music to the N8's MicroSD card

    I bought a 32GB MicroSD card for my N8 so that I had enough capacity to store all of my MP3s. Unfortunately I can't convince Ovi Music Player to sync music to that location. It always tries to sync the music to the N8's 16GB internal storage area despite there not being enough capacity to do so.
    Is there any way to configure either Ovi Music Player or the N8 to use the MicroSD card exclusively for the music library? It's making me very frustrated.

    Putting Music on ANY Nokia phone is very simple !! All you need to do is make sure the music has artwork embedded before transfer  and the track and album info is correct. Once the music is in a state where it is fit to be put on the phone, it doesn't matter if you sync with Ovi Suite, Ovi Music, Windows Media Player or whatever. !!

    Whilst I hear what you say, carman, just search for the number of threads relating to the problems many people have (and I have had corrupted libraries, album art missing, etc, and I am a fairly experienced user) just trying to get music into a library.  IF it was working, as it should, then the facilities provided by Nokia should just transfer the music in a easy standard way, complete with artwork, to your desired location, and you should end up with a working music system and a completely updated working library.  There should be ONE recommended way of doing it, which should be fairly automatic, simple, reliable, safe and should just work.  That situation does not exist.
    Now, I am not saying providing flexibility by providing other alternatives is not desirable. What I AM saying is that Nokia should be able to say - "if you do it this way, then it will work correctly."  From the number of people who have problems with music transfer and libraries, it is obvious that this message has not reached the mass of the users. Whether that is an inability to provide such a feature, or an inability to communicate what it is, and how to use it, Nokia is falling down somewhere. To be honest, after trying to transfer my music to my sd card, unsuccessfully, and then getting advice to go into the file structure and delete files, I gave up and just loaded it onto the phone.  Why should an end user (most of whom, like my mother, are not as technically competent as me) need to start searching for and deleting files just to get their music library working? No wonder the restrictive practices implemented by Apple have been lauded (although I don't like that company because of it!).  At least they have made their product relatively user-friendly, which is a BIG plus when you are dealing in this sort of area. Not everybody is capable of dealing with the sort of problems people seem to encounter doing something as simple as loading music (in fact, probably the majority ....). It should just work!  This lack of ability to 'keep it simple' has been the downfall of Nokia. Their developers provide superb bells and whistles, but seem not to have grasped the fact that bells and whistles are fantastic to have, AS LONG AS THE BASICS ARE ROCK SOLID. And from my experience, transferring music to an sd card is no way a simple or rock solid process, without you doing a lot of digging to find out how to do it successfully - hence all the posts. KISS!

    I think this is something related to the microSD cards themselves. Have you tried others?
    I'm using two Kingston 64 GB SD cards. The same issue is on my Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. When I remove my SD card and plug it directly through my SD/USB adapter to my computer I can easily cut and paste any files on it and there is no problem with them at all.

  • Downloaded ringtones to microSD card but can't figure out how to use them

    I downloaded a bunch of ringtones and I can find them if I go to "Files/ringtones" on my microSD card, but when I try to use one in Settings/sounds/phone ringtone they are not there.  I can't figure out how to use them.  Can anyone help??  Thanks!

    When I go to Music app, the ringtones aren't in the list of artists/songs.  They are stored in the ringtones folder so I don't think they would show up in the Music app.

  • Lumia 1520/AT&T: What is the best MicroSD card opt...

    Hello,
    I am writing to the Nokia forums because I have a doubt on which 64gb MicroSD card I should buy for my Nokia Lumia 1520 (AT&T model). I want to use this card for photos and video recording at 1080p up to 30FPS.
    Doing some research, I found that for best results I need a Class 10 MicroSDXC card if I don't want the video to skip during the recording if writing the video directly to the card as I record. Apparently I also have to look for the UHS-1 designation aside from Class 10.
    Therefore, I went shopping around in Amazon.com and I have narrowed down my choices to the following three cards.
    Sandisk 64GB Class 10 UHS-1
    Transcend 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1
    Sony 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1
    Out of the three choices which one provides the better option? I am leaning towards the Transcend MicroSD card, but would like to get a feedback from Lumia 1520 owners.

    The sandisk is the one I use with no issues whatsoever

  • Is it possible to install an app obtained via a MicroSD card or Bluetooth?

    Suppose I'm in an area where there is very little Wi-fi or other internet access (e.g. rural Papua New Guinea).
    Or, an area where the internet is strictly controlled or monitored. So the Marketplace is not an option.
    People around me are using their cheap cell phones to share photos via bluetooth, and music and videos via SD cards.
    Question: can I also distribute an app via MicroSD card or Bluetooth?
    I've tried this with some Java phones and found that installing an app from either of those sources is disallowed.
    What about on FirefoxOS?
    The Firefox OS web site says you can update the OS from an SD card.
    One of the FAQ's at http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZTE-OPEN-C-3G-Unlocked-Firefox-Smartphone-Cell-Phone-Dual-Core-GPS-WiFi-AT-T-/291243074570?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item43cf70a40a suggests that you cannot install an app from an SD card, at least on a ZTE Open C.
    But I'd like to get more of a horse's-mouth answer, if possible.
    Is this something that Firefox OS leaves up to the discretion of each phone manufacturer?
    Or is it considered such a security risk that Firefox OS will not allow it on any phone?
    Thanks,
    Lars

    Hi, huttarl!
    Beyond the Firefox Marketplace, your options for distributing apps are unfortunately rather limited.
    To my knowledge, Firefox OS does not support any Bluetooth/microSD card app installation. However, you can install an app to a phone by connecting the phone to a computer via USB cable. This is often used by developers but may suit your needs: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Using_the_App_Manager See this article on the Mozilla Developer Network].
    I hope that helps! Please feel free to post back with more questions.

  • New BB Z30 Freezing, Docs are unable to Open, microSD card automatically formatted after restart, unable to open Some Pictures, Long time for Charging

    I purchased a new BlackBerry Z30 recently from http://store.shopblackberry.com/store/bbrryus/en_US/pd/productID.298806900/categoryID.66826600/paren... and my Phone Model number is STL 100-5. I also purchased a Z30 Leather flip case manufactured by BlackBerry. I am using my BlackBerry Z30 along with the Z30 Leather flip case.
    1) Within the first 2 weeks of receiving and using the new BB Z30 device, I noticed a problem of screen not responding some times. My phone has been freezed at the lock screen. My phone is not responding to any key except for the power button. So, I had an option of only restart/Turn Off my BlackBerry Z30 device. All the time whenever I had this problem, I have to restart my device in order to make it work properly again. I complained about this issue with BlackBerry Technical Support. They assisted me to reset the device to factory settings by taking a full backup. After reset also, I still had the same issue.
    2) I am using Sandisk Extreme microSD card of 32GB with my BB Z30 device. Some times due to the restart option, all the data which I had on my microSD card is being erased and is filled with an unknown files.
    3) I'm also unable to open some pictures which I have taken using BlackBerry Z30. As I observed, most of the pictures which I taken using Blackberry Z30 are unable to be open/view them after a few days. Still, I am able to observe the properties of those pictures. They are in JPEG format only.
    4)Also If I create a Word Document on BlackBerry Z30 using Docs to Go Application and saved it. After closing that particular document and If I try to open it, the document file is not opening and projecting me an error of "This is not a valid .Doc file", but while I check the properties of that particular document it is in .doc format. I tried to transfer the file to my laptop using bluetooth. After a few seconds (approx 2-3 seconds) automatically the transferring is cancelled by the BlackBerry Z30 device. However, I tried to transfer the file within that short time using Bluetooth. While I tried to open it on my laptop using Microsoft Office 2013, the file is displaying with a squares of upto 4 pages while I had a content in it of 3 lines only. While I opened my file using Microsoft Office 2013, there is only squares available in that document.
    5)  My new BlackBerry Z30 is taking a long time of approximately 6-7 hours to charge the device from 10% to 100%
    I request someone to help me with this issues. I would like to thank everyone who can help me with these issues in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    On 7th of Jan 2015 I made my device to factory reset. Also I removed microSD card from my device. As I observed for these 3 days, one time while I received a missed call, I tried to have a look at it. I observed that my screen has been freeze at the receiving call position and its not responding. I tried to close and reopened the display of my device with a flip case which I'm currently using for my device. At this time, after 3-4 swipes to unlock the device, again its back into working condition.
    About Documents, I'm able to create, save and open the documents without any issues till now.
    About Pictures, they are also working fine without any issues.
    I also observed the charging time as approximately 3 hours for charging the device from 14% to 100%.

  • 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!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    From everything you've described, you've done everything possible. Hence, I recommend you seek out your warranty support.

  • Nokia Lumia 822 has MicroSD card issues

    I upgraded to my Lumia in April, and since then, it has ruined 3 MicroSD cards. It either stops recognizing that they are in the phone (after which I've discovered that putting them into my computer and formatting them, they can be recognized), or simply deletes everything.
    My latest SD card has lasted about a week so far, but I noticed that after synching my phone (to the Windows program that it uses on your computer) my "Camera Roll" was emptied of most of the pictures. There were two pictures left, but I was unable to "attach and send" them or "attach and share" to any of my messages or apps.
    Also, anytime I synch my music through the Windows program on the computer, it adds another copy of the song to the card, or removes songs that I want to keep on the SD card.
    The program used to synch isn't very user friendly, especially when trying to navigate pictures (only lists the file names, no options for thumbnails whatsoever), so I might just need help learning how to use that better?
    I love my phone, but it has become a large pain, considering this isn't the only issue I've encountered.
    Is anyone else having issues like these? And if so, have you found any solutions?

        Hi ARowald,
    I understand your concerns regarding the SD card issues you have encountered. A review of my resources indicate that this issue has been escalated to our software team and the manufacturer will address these issues in a future software update (No ETA).
