32 GB microSDHC card N97 and 5800

Working great on my unbranded N97 and 5800 handsets (and as I'm in the UK they both have ancient firmware). It also works in my N900 Maemo handset

Nokia Experience (N97 and 5800)

About two weeks ago I was in the market for new a new cell phone...being an AT&T user I decided to go unlocked instead of buying a subsidised phone. After searching the net I gave up and went to a cell phone "boutique" store here in Washington DC which specialize in unlocked phones. This place came highly recomended so I gave them a try. I went into the store to find that there was a lot of Nokia advertisement in the store. In the past I haven't dealt with nokia much. I told the salesman what I was looking for and he first tried to sell me an IPhone but at $800 unlocked I passed. I then told him that I was also looking for a phone for my girlfriend. I have big fingers so I needed a keyboard...long story short I left the store with an N97 for myself and a 5800 for my GF.
I should have done more research on Nokia and not just listen to the salesman.
The first few days were great then came an update for the N97 and things seemed wonderful. But things started going south for both phones. Since the 5800 belonged to my GF and ultimately caused me the most grief we'll start with that one.
5800:
My GF uses the phone for three things...talking, texting and facebook. The phone is untouched outside of the latest updates and adding the Facebook app. Every so often the phone will freeze after a phone call, she is usually around me when this happens and she just throws the phone at me and says fix it. The Facebook app is useless and doesn't come close to any other Facebook app out there (I hear it constantly). The web browser will shut down on it's own for no reason. She has like 1000 friends literally and she find scrolling through her contacts annoying and the search function is not always helpful. There are many other little small glitches that she complains about and I have to hear and feel the results...thans Nokia.
I use the N97 myself. I got it because it has the Keyboad and I am a DJ and have tons of music that I like to carry with me. After a couple of days of use and a couple of app installs..the phone became slow(er). Switching from landscape to portrait and back would cause the phone to stop and think for a second (or two). The phone wants to go to landscape when some one call, this a very annoying and gets in the way. I have almost 30 gb of music and phonos in the phone and I will say that digging through them is painful to say the least...why can the photos be place in folders in the gallery? The nokia browser does the samething that the 5800 does with the shutting down problem. The alarm clock is off by several minutes. My phones randomly freezes for no apparent reason.
After searching the web I stumbled across this forum and started reading the many topic...wow I am not alone. Many people are having the same issues and it looks like these issues have been around for some time. Isn't this a Nokia forum? Do they even read this forum? How could these phone go through several updates and still have the same annoying problems? All I can say is WOW. Before the is Phone I had a Blackberry and it too had its bugs when it came out but in subsequent updates the bugs went away. I have heard the same for other smarthpones. Being a first time Nokia user, this left a foul taste in my mouth. I call the store to complain and they are willing to cut me a deal on any other phone they sell since my Nokia experience has been less than favorable.
Sorry for the long rant...I didn't come here to vent, I actually came for advice. Before I go and return these phone and lay down even more money, please tell me that there is a light at the end of this tunnel. You guys have more experience with Nokia's than I do and I am willing to listen to your advice in this matter...should I stay or should I leave? HELP!!!

Okey, thanks. Nice to know!

6120 classic and microSDHC card??

I have seen a few posts around saying that people have got the newer Sandisk microSDHC cards to work in their 6120c.
There are a couple of great deals on the new Sandisk 8GB microSDHC cards around and I'd love to get one if someone can confirm they will work.
If you go to the Sandisk website they say it will, but Nokia say it won't. I can only assume that Sandisk should have tested the card in the phone before making this claim. And the phone was released before the cards were available so Nokia may not have tested them.
Can someone verify this all, once and for all??
This would make my ipod virtually obsolete.

Hi All,
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. I went out and bought myself a SanDisk 8GB microSDHC Class 2 and it works perfectly with my Nokia 6120c. The guy at the store said that 8GB microSDHC was the maximum capicity supported (/ tested???) by the 6120c.
Just to be sure, I updated the phone firmware to 5.11 and backed up all phone contents prior to putting in the new memcard.
Hope this post helps some one else...

N97 v12 and 5800 v30 .. YAWN

You see, I have to say 'YAWN' because when I actually yawn, you don't get it do you Nokia..
Two phones. Both bought directly from Nokia "sim-free".. BOTH stuck on the old firmware.. how old is the 5800 v30 firmware now? 3 weeks old?
I'm hopefully getting my hands on a Sony Ericsson Satio in the next few days. A Symbian phone from another Vendor! Hopefully I'll see how a competitor to Nokia might've managed to have released a phone on the same platform that does not suck so unbelievably...
Get a move on with your mind numbingly convoluted release cycle with its secret change log and even more secret release dates..
Still no Mac support for the N97, ey... tut.. no chance you could add the USB Id's of the N97 to the existing Mac software so it would just work? I doubt very much it requires a code change and lets face it.. what's the worst it'd do.. break the phone and I'd need to *#7370* it? ooooooh.. not for the 85th time then?!
grrrrrr

Just follow up.. I did play with a pre-release satio at the weekend and I have to say it's actually pretty nice!
The screen is much more shiny than the N97 sort of like comparing a matte and gloss laptop screen.
It feels a little bit snappier too.. I put this down to a lack of theme effects (which were disabled. The screen rotate with the theme options turned off was "atomic" rotate the phone and almost immediately the screen swapped.. no slow redraw or fade to black..
The home screen was obviously very different and geared towards the SE look and feel but the main menu app felt almost identical to the N97. To be fair, the phone felt a bit more like a 5800 than a N97.
Size wise it is very similar, thinner but that would be down to the N97 keyboard.. It is certainly larger than the 5800. No micro USB.. that's a bit odd.. perhaps it will change in the final release? I thought SE was in on the standardising connectors effort.
It had a google maps app, but not much else GPS wise.. This I think was down to the fact it was really pre-release..
The camera (12.1mp) was phenominal, but what do you expect.. The slide on the back does look a bit like a blister.. but it does an infinitely better job of protecting the camera.. the flash is xenon too.. and shares no flat plastic for that **bleep** bleed problem (maaan. that really irritates me on the N97!) It has extra hardware buttons too.. more than the camera and volume. Although they're geared towards media functions, I'm sure that could be helpful when trying to map functions (like missing pencil button, for example)
On the whole, I was actually really impressed. I loved playing with the R&D tools Neat for looking around the parts of the OS that are hidden. It didn't have a file manager app so I couldn't tell you how much free memory it has.. I've asked for a follow up on that (especially as my N97 is back under 10meg again .grrrrr)
Compared to the rather old 5800, I *think* I'd prefer the Satio.. however.. the N97 and its keyboard (albeit a keyboard without a damn control key!!! COPY AND PASTE DAMN IT!) still beats it on the hardware stakes.. (asides from the **bleep** keyboard cover does and the loose screen/vibrate does anyone dislike the N97 hardware?)
Software wise, it was really very stable! At no stage did it play the Nokia ring tone instead of the ring tone set in the profile
What was really great was seeing yet another Symbian phone.. Forgetting the PC software (which really isn't of much interest to mac user's anyway.. the mac user base is large.. considerable larger than say the N97 userbase! Nokia, stop ignoring or atleast update your mac software!) the phone is a really usable symbian phone. For the day to day, stock symbian stuff you'd hardly notice the difference.. I'm not sure Nokia or SE would be please about that fact, but as a Symbian fan.. I'm really pleased
The software on the phone suggest that some of the N97 bugs are Nokia bugs.. This is good because it puts the blame at Nokia's door.. by that I mean Symbian aren't to blame, its what Nokia do that's causing a problem..
As more and more Symbian handsets are released and if Nokia don't fix their attitude to testing this will become more and more apparently.. the good news for the Symbian fans out there is that you might now have a choice of vendors..

N75 and MicroSDHC cards

Does anyone know if the N75 is compatible with the MicroSDHC cards? I'd like to buy an 8GB card, but I want to know that it's going to work properly before I do.

System won't recognize microSDHC card

I just purchased a SanDisk 4 GB microSDHC card to use with my phone. I tried to connect it to my mac via the front USB port in order to load some music & pics on it. I am not able to get the finder to locate the card, however. I have gone into finder general preferences, and all boxes are checked to show items on the desktop (my external drives show up on the desktop just fine). I went into disk utility to try and format it, but it doesn't show up there. When I go into the system profiler, I can see it as "MobileMate Micro" on the USB device tree, but otherwise cannot seem to get to it.
The reader I'm using is the one that came with the card, so that shouldn't be an issue. I have a PowerPC G5, running 10.4.11. Hopefully someone has an idea how to make this work. Thanks in advance!
Tanya

I'm in the exact same boat, only difference is that I'm using my card with a Canon Digital Rebel. I can get the images to download to my computer only when I connect the camera and use the software that came with the camera to download. It won't even do that if I just stick the memory card into my Belkin card reader. I have an old SanDisk 256mb card that I stuck in the reader and that one worked (it was formated on a PC, I don't know if that makes any difference).
So yeah, this is really rather frustrating to me, especially because now I have to take out my huge-bum SLR camera and connect it through a USB cable.

HP Pavillion dv6-1245dx problems writing to MicroSDHC card - errors

I've purcahsed two different brands of MicroSDHC 32GB cards. They will allow me to write 1-2GB of info before giving me an error code: 0x80070052. I was using Windows 7 and read that this was an issue that was going to be resolved in Windows 8, so I installed Windows 8 on my laptop (It's legitimate through Microsoft's MSDN program).
I went looking for product specifications for my laptop on the HP site and it just gives this vague answer: 5-in-1 integrated Digital Media Reader for Secure Digital cards, MultiMedia cards, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, or xD Picture cards.
It doesn't specify SD, MicroSD, MicroSDHC or any variation. I am inclined to believe that the laptop doesn't support cards as large as 32GB. The largest card I've ever tried before this was an standard size 8GB SDHC, so at least I know it will handle the SDHC part. However, I have had issues with 32GB USB drives as well, where the drive gets half full and then starts having problems writing (no error codes though).
I'd like to know if MicroSDHC cards as large as 32GB are or aren't supported before I commit to purchasing a third card. I've tried multiple adapters as well, so I know it's not 1) Me trying to stick a tiny card in a large hole, 2) poor contact between the adapter and the laptop, or 3) poor contact between the card and the adapter.
Thank you.

card readers are prone to problems with the internal contacts, particularly multi-card readers. If you get a card inserted a little bit wrong it can cause it to go out. HP should warrant the problem but if you can't get relief, the expresscard multi-readers are cheap and work well. My laptop has no built in card reader so that is what I use.

MicroSDHC Cards GB-Sizes for the N81

hi there,
i got a n81 (non 8gb) with this usefull microsdhc-slot. my dealer offers me to get a 8gb microsdhc-card (brand: sandisk). the testing shows "bad work". no chance to get a positive message. i read in a discussion, that 6gb card (can) work fine.
q1: will there be a hint or barrier by using 8gb microsdhc-cards?
q2: is it "blocked" by the firmware, because for "pushing" the n81-8gb-version at the market?
q3: can this problem be fixed in future by using a updated firmware?
q4: why we have to wait for firmwarehacks, only to fix such "strategically bugs"?
now i have for the first-aid, a 4gb microsdhc-card in my n81 - but has this be end of this story?
best regards to all readers,
dusty from trier/germany

Good deal you can use the 8gb ! I have the same card in mine (8330) curve and it works great.
Got a great price on Amazon with card reader for $30.
If this answers your question, please close the thread using the options over the yellow kudo's star.

Are 8gb microSDHC cards compatible with the E90?

I recently puchased a E90 and I would like to know if it is possible to use a 8gb MicroSDHC card.
Thanks

SD and SDHC are two totally different technologies packaged inside the same kind of format. SDHC card readers are backwards compatible with SD cards, but SDHC cards cannot be read in a regular SD card reader.
One of the limitations of SD which led to the development of SDHC in the first place is the maximum capacity of 2GB. Therefore, if the specs of a phone say that it can read 4GB cards then it's fitted with an SDHC card reader and 4GB+ cards will be usable.
If the specs of a phone say that it can only accept cards of up to 2GB then it is fitted with a regular SD card reader and SDHC cards will not work. No amount of software upgrading will help because the hardware simply isn't there to handle SDHC cards.
Those SDHC-compatible phones that "max out" at 4GB might benefit from a firmware upgrade because this limitation is indeed software-related.
The reason why those 8GB SanDisk cards (I have one in my N95) come with a card reader is because that card reader is in fact an SDHC card reader. Most USB card readers available off the shelf for a few quid are not SDHC-compatible, so you won't be able to put your 8GB microSDHC card in an SD adapter, stuff that in one of those SD card readers and access it that way.

E55: About microSDHC card upgrade procedure?

Hello,
I'm planning to replace and upgrade the original 2gb memory card of my E55 with a new 8gb class 10 card using this procedure:
1- Backup (copy) all existing files (including hidden files) to hdd using windows explorer of current 2gb card.
2- Before inserting my new 8gb card into my E55, write all back the data from hdd to new card as is.
Will this procedure work?
Also, i found out a file called 'card_contents.xml' in card root which is supposed to be used by Ovi Maps application, and it contains a card size string as '2gb', so will i also have to change this string to 8gb?
Please help me about these.
Thanks a lot!

Hi all,
Yesterday i did the card upgrade by replacing my old 2gb Nokia card with brand new Transcend Class 10 8 gb microSDHC card. Here are what i've experienced so far after upgrade process:
1- Some file names now became uppercase letters when you're viewing them via any file manager such as S60 default file manager or with other applications. Interestingly, these filenames contain lowercase letter when you see files in Windows Explorer.
For example, some files seem as:
ABCDE.XYZ in file manager(s) of my E55, wheres they're abcde.xyz in Windows Explorer.
Why is that difference? Note that most file names have been preserved as is with no problem with their letter cases.
2- In music player, though my custom music playlist has memory card icon next to it and i did exact copy via Windows Explorer, it got lost! Plus, my music library is reported as corrupted. I couldn't recover my custom music list but i managed to get my music library working by refreshing it.
3- Ovi Maps did not encounter any problems related to card upgrade so far, even, the QF seems to be updated properly (quota) after launching Maps application for once.
I really wonder the first one, really weird. Some file names appear as uppercased using phone, but in Windows Explorer in Computer they're lowercased. I noticed also 'cities' folder and 'qf' file are reported in uppercase letter format in phone (like CITIES, QF) but they're lowercase in Computer even with Nokia's old original memcard.
Any comment is appreciated.
Thanks!

SD Card Issues and Sound Issues

Hello all,
I bought my Xperia Z2 probably 2-3 months ago and I have to say I do love this phone.
However I have come across a few issues that seems to be, not so common as I cannot find any solutions online (Which is why I'm here).
I am having 2 issues:
1st Issue:
SD Card Issue, this is a funny one as I have not been able to identify what actually causes this issue. Now this all started (or when I started to realise the issue) when I changed some settings in the Camera App. I saw that it was saving photos to "Internal Storage" and since I specifically bought a new SD card for the Xperia Z2, I wanted to store photos on the SD card instead.
So I changed it to SD Card Storage and all is well (At least, that is what I thought).
After taking some photos one day, I got home and wanted to preview them, in the photos app and Album (Sony's Photo Previewer) it shows that the photo is corrupted or missing (Depending on which app I'm using). This really annoyed me as the photos I took seems to be all lost and corrupted. So I tried to use a file explorer (Including File Commander) to find the actual file and open it, but it seems to have the same problem. I get this grey background with a picture of a mountain with like a thunderbolt sign (Broken sign).
Following this, I have also tried to copy some video files onto the SD card and it has been giving me troubles too. I tried to copy videos onto the SD card in 2 ways, first way is to take the SD card out, connect it to a SD card reader and plug that into the computer. After it finished copying onto the SD card, the files would just disappear (I use computers a lot and this was very surprising and new to me... It's like the SD card deleted the files right after it was copied, or maybe even 'hid' the files).
So since that method didn't work I thought I would try putting the SD card back into the phone and connect the phone to the computer then use Sony's MediaGO (Computer App) to transfer the videos and it sort of worked this time. I copied 14 videos over and only the first 2 videos are working, the others are all "Media is missing" or of some sort. I checked the video's format and they are all either .avi or .mp4 which I don't think is a problem as the first 2 videos are in .avi so surely other .avi videos would work too? Guess not...
So it seems like I am having troubles with Video and Photos on the SD card as music is working 100% fine. Used Media GO to copy the music on and it's all working wonderfully.
Some of you might suggest formatting the SD Card, I will say I have... I have tried the above methods before formatting AND after formatting (Formatting using Xperia Z2, or shall I say "erase").
The SD card I have is Sandisk's 64GB Ultra (I bought this to anticipate 4K or at least 1080p video recordings).
If the issue here is SD Card compatibility and I was silly enough to not have seen that prior, then I would gladly admit it's my fault and be happy that the solution would simply mean to buy another SD card.
But that said, I highly doubt that would be the issue due to the fact that the SD card is made for performance (Not the best performance as the Extreme and Extreme Pro range are a lot better) and the card is new.
2nd Issue:
Now this issue is not as bad as the first issue, it's something to do with the sound. I understand the phone has 3 sound controls, one for the Ringtone for when you get a notification or/and phone call, one for Media and one for Alarm.
What I do is I have the Ringtone volume sitting at around 50% and Media will be dependent as I change it when I open an app but the issue I've been having is this:
If I open an app (Mainly games that has sound/music) and I change the Media volume to say 70% or even 20%, whenever I get a notification whilst in-app the notification volume seems to be at 100% no matter what I do with the media volume. This is weird as my default Ringtone/Notification volume is sitting very low at around 50% or even if I change it to 20%.
What am I missing here? Any thoughts?
With the above 2 issues, last resort would be to factory reset my phone but will be willing to do it if there's a high chance of the issue getting fixed.
Your thoughts will be greatly received as right now I'm just lost and not sure what to do with the issues. I'm slowly getting the feeling that I should just give up on the phone and use it for phone calls, music and forget about the whole photo/video taking which is very sad as I love the phone's photo/video taking features.
Solved!

Hello Rickard,
Thank you for the link, I have started the test and 10 minutes into the test the speed for writing dropped. Anyways I only managed to get through in writing 8GB of data then I gave up. I then started to verify that 8GB of data that was written on the SD Card.
I have to say, it does seem like that SD Card is defective
Thank you for providing the link, what I will do now is get another SD Card and see if the problem is still there.
If the problem goes away I would consider my 1st issue being solved
However I am still not sure about my 2nd issue as this is not related to the SD card. Even without the SD card in the phone I seem to be experiencing this problem.
It's frustrating sometimes as if I'm trying to keep the volume down and play a game I can't because any notifications that comes through will be at 100% volume.
Perhaps there's a setting I'm missing?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

How do i use my itunes gift card money and not my credit card
My ipod told me that i had to put in a credit card and because of that i put in my moms wit her permission. but the thing is i do not want to use the money on her credit card. i hav a 10 dollar itunes gift card in it already and none of it is used up. i want to use that money
how do i do it

Open iTunes on your computer. In the iTunes Store log into your iTunes Store account and view your account. Select Edit Payment Information. In the credit card choices I would choose None. That will remove your Mom's CC info. Next under iTunes Gift Cards and Certificates click the little arrow to redeem your Gift Card. Then follow the instrction to redeem your GC.
You can also do this on your iPod, but it is more complicated to describe how to do it and to actually do it. It is easier to do in the iTunes on your computer.

I am traveling to India, north and south, with my ipad 2, G-3. It is activated by AT and T. How do I use it in India? Do I need to purchase a sim card there and if so what kind? Would they be available in the Delhi airport or where else in central Delhi?

Also in order not to pay a fortune for the service is it better to acquire if needed a SIM card only once there?
Check with your carrier about roaming charges. They are usually prohibitive. Best to get a local SIM.

Please tell me whats the matter?

Without contract is not the same as unlocked. The update to iOS 7 relocked
the iPhone to the wireless carrier to which it was originally locked. You must
contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If you used jailbreak or other hack to unlock the iPhone initially, the method
used may prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding and may render your
iPhone unuseable.
