3600 slide. USB connection and memory card slot

Although generally pleased with this handset I should point out TWO design flaws.
1. Mini USB socket is of a proprietory design, NOT a standard one. There IS enough space on the handset to have had a standard mini-USB socket (which is only fractionally larger). This I believe is yet another con trick for anyone unfortunate to lose the supplied data transfer cable.
2. To access the Micro-SD slot requires removal of the rear cover. A totally ridiculous design when other phones have slots with easier flap based access.
Before buying this phone I did check out a dummy version instore. Port access **bleep** and buttons are 'etched/moulded' on these dummies to show where you connect cables or access functions. This is fine but until you get hold of a real one subject to stock you can't chech them out fully.
Other than these two gripes, the phone itself is pleasant to use, sound quality of calls is good, keypad is reasonably tactile and the menus well organised to access the many functions. I like the sliding keypad as it offers that bit more protection for itself. The slightly heavier feel to this phone compared with most others in its price range is a reassuring sign of good build quality. Oh yes, it is NOT MADE IN CHINA!!! 

It isn't a miniUSB port at all. It's a microUSB port and it is standard.

  • USB ports and memory card slots not working

    My Pavilion a6120n desktop has worked brilliantly ever since I purchased it. As of last week the 2 usb ports in the front and the 2 unused usb ports in the back have stopped working. My printer is plugged into one rear port and my wireless mouse is plugged into a second rear port and these work fine.  I generally use a memory stick for data swapping or the card reader slots (which have also stopped working). I no longer see the memory card icons in the "Computer" window. When installing something new the "New Hardware Found" statement pops up but the driver install always fails. I think it is a software issue but there are no usb drivers to download on the HP/support site that I can find. . . so . . . Below is what I have tried so far.Run antivirus software. Full scan & memory scan - no issuesRun malewarebytes full scan - no issues I have tried restarting several times with no success. Restore to several previous restore points = failedRestarting computer in repair mode = failedRun the repair disk that I had made = failedChecked the power management for each usb port to see if the power was routed properly = okRemoved the case cover and carefully inspected the wiring and connectors.finally I tried uninstalling the usb drivers = failed  Upon restarting the computer the last time the startup file must have failed and after several hours of attempting a repair I had to reinstall the Window 7 completely. Still no usb or memory card function. Any help would be appreciated Thanks,MrBob38

  • My USB ports and SD card slot aren't working!

    My USB ports and SD card slot haven't been working on my MacBook Pro for a couple of months now, and I have taken it into Future shop to get it fixed under my warranty. Unfortunately my warranty was expired by a month (Oops), and the associate helping me said that there was no power getting to the ports because it had something to do with the circuit board, and that it would cost $900.00 to get it repaired. I can still charge my MacBook, and the CD hardrive works completely fine.
    My goal is get my MacBook repaired for little or no cost. I was wondering if anyone knows a solution to this, or how much it would cost me to get it repaired at the Apple store. 

    What version of OS X is the Macbook Pro running?
    In OS 10.8, you can do this:
    With the iPod connected, go to Apple Menu / About This Mac / More Info / System Report.
    click on USB under Hardware (in the left column).
    Does the iPod appear anywhere on the right hand side (USB Device Tree)?

  • USB cameras and memory cards slow to be recognized? Simple solution!

    For some users, Image Capture is slow to recognize memory cards and cameras connected to their Mac. However, there is a quick and easy solution.
    Bluetooth devices seem to keep Image Capture from accessing memory cards and cameras plugged into your Mac.
    To alleviate the problem, navigate to System Preferences, click Bluetooth, and select and delete the devices you no longer need. With no Bluetooth phones connected, Image Capture works at a normal speed.

    First make sure that no application is using or has open any files on the disk. Then:
    Click and drag the disk icon on the desktop to the trash. Wait for the system to recognize the action, and the icon should disappear from the desktop. It is then safe to remove the device.
    Alternatively, you can secondary click on the disk icon, and then primary click "Eject (name of disk)". Wait for the icon to disappear off the desktop, and then it is safe to remove the drive.
    Here is a detailed help document on the subject.

  • Hi, I have a Lenovo 3000 n100 that does not recognize the dvd player or SD memory card slot

    Hi, this is my first time on here so forgive me if I don't give all of the right information, I will try.  Until about a month ago my dvd player and SD memory card slot worked fine.  I was attempting to download pictures from the SD memory card to my laptop when for some reason it not only stopped reading the memory card but it erased it also.  I tried to watch a movie on it to see if it was working and it is not.  I checked the computer to see if I could manually turn it on and neither the memory card slot or the dvd player show up at all.  Is this a driver problem and if so how do I fix it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Linda

    I have struggled with the same thing, until about 1/2 hour ago....And its real simple.  I'm not a techy but here's what worked for me. 
    Since Lenovo doesn't send boot discs you are going to have to create one.  I went to http://www.ntfs.com/boot-disk.htm and downloaded the trial version - good for 10 days.  If this works for you then you should buy the software (that goes w/o saying).
    Once loaded to your machine you will need to create a DVD (CD may work as well, all I had was DVD's handy).  Just lauch the application and it will do this for you. 
    Then you need to insert the DVD/CD into your player and restart the machine.  
    Once lauched the Software will lauch the Active@ Boot Disk menu.  One of the options (going from memory here) was to give you a windows prompt.  I simply typed c: and took me to the C drive.  Then I typed chkdsk /f c:
    I was then told my c drive was locked (sounds familiar I bet) but this time I was given the option to dismount the volume which I did.  And it finally ran chkdsk, found and corrected all errors.  
    I rebooted my machine, launched diskeeper,  and guess what - I can finally defrag my harddrive now which is sorely overdue!
    Good luck.  I hope this works for you! 

  • Problem with memory card slot on nokia c5 03

    Sir,
    I have a Nokia C5 03 from the last 8 months.....
    Working very well.
    Recently, my memory card stopped working.
    I thought that there might be a problem in the memory card and bought a new one.
    Even though i inserted new card in my phone, i am getting the same error.
    In file manager it is displaying as "Memory card Corrupted."
    I have checked the new memory card by inserting in to another phone which was working normally.
    There i have even formatted the new memory card and again inserted into my c5. 
    Then also i am getting the same error message........
    Can any one suggest me what to do in this regard??????
    Thanks in ADVANCE.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum!
    Have you also tried inserting the old memory card to another phone as well? What happened after inserting it to another phone? If it's working properly with another phone, the memory card slot of the C5-03 might have an issue so you should bring it to the repair facility to have it checked. 
    You can search for the nearest repair facility in your area from this link: http://www.nokia.com/in-en/care-point-finder/
    Hope this helps.

  • IMac is not recognizing USB connections. Memory Stick, Elephant Storage do not appear as connected devices anymore. Is there an easy solution?

    Then try smc and pram reset. 
    Did you try the logout/in?  Of course this is redundant if you do the smc and pram reset.

  • How to deactivate automatic photoimport when connecting to memory card...?

    Hi there,
    I recently installed iPhoto 6. When I connect a memory card to my powerbook, iPhoto starts up and wants to import the files. I want to do this manually and don't want iPhoto to start automatically. How can I deactivate this?
    Thanks for your help.
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
    iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
    If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

  • IPhone Issues with USB Connection and Bluetooth in GM cars

    I recently purchased a 2009 Chevy Cobalt SS/TC and it has a USB connection for an iPod. Prior to the 2.1 updated the USB connection worked flawless as well did my handsfree/bluetooth. I had the Apple Genius Bar check my iPhone for any issues due to a corrupt update but everything turned up fine. When i connect to my car I receive an error message (iPod Did Not Authenticate. Check iPod Version). Also my bluetooth will sync but when you answer the phone using hands free you get no audio from the iPhone or speakers in the car. I used a friends iPod and everything worked fine but when I connect with a new iPod it displays the same error. I have contacted GM but they said talk to Apple.
    If anyone can help please let me know.
    Thanks

    Hey J,
    Well you got me thinking about your question, and I guess I didn't get it the first time. Again, I own the same car - 09 Chevy Cobalt SS/TC, Black. A lot of fun! I plugged my iPhone into the radio USB connection and get the same error. The GM radio does not support the iPhone. It will not authenticate. The GM radios' firmware is looking for an iPod, not an iPhone. That is expected. As far as the iPhone and it's Bluetooth, again the iPhone's Bluetooth hands free works fine, except I cannot answer the iPhone during an incoming call without first unlocking the iPhone then pressing the mute button on the steering wheel. For what it's worth the iPhone will charge through the USB connection. I'm a little confused on what you are trying to connect. Bottom line, an iPod should always work, an iPhone, not at all. Lastly, I have purchased the GM Personal Audio Link (PAL) and hope to use it with my iPod so I can put the iPod in the glove compartment. Although I have heard a lot of negative comments and issues with it for being slow and sluggish. If so, I'll be sending it back and I'll stay with the USB connection. I'll let you know how that works.

  • Hidden files on USB and memory cards

    When I put my USB or my camera's memory card into my mac and delete files from them, they disappear but haven't actually gone from my memory card/usb. So the space is still taken up by the hidden files. On a PC I can find how to reveal the hidden files and delete them, but I don't know how to do this on a mac.

    Don't delete files from your camera cards using your Mac — always erase or format the cards in the camera, using its own menu commands.
    What sort of device do you mean by "my USB"?
    After trashing any file(s) from any device that is connected to the Mac, you must empty the Trash to regain the space occupied by the file(s). The device must be connected to the Mac when you empty the Trash, because the Trash is an invisible folder that resides on the device, and it can't be emptied if the Mac can't access it.
    The reason I recommend not trashing files from your camera cards while they're connected to the Mac is that many cameras become confused when they encounter a Mac Trash folder on a memory card, and will refuse to use the card until it is reformatted in the camera.
