5800 memory issue, cannot acces memory card, phone...

Hi all,
When taking pictures with the 5800 I get the message (cannot acces memory card, phone memory used instead)
I change memory options to E: Memory card but still get the message when taking pics.
I can access the card fine from phone file manager and through PC.
Have reformatted and tried second sd card.

Nokia 5800 memory card data loss

Hello Everyone,
I've had one frustrating experience with my phone and it continues to annoy me. Since the past 6 months that i'm using my nokia 5800, one problem reoccurs frequently. Data on my memory card gets deleted by itself every now and then. I lose videos, music and images primarily every time.
The only option remaining then is to run a data recovery software on my memory card to restore to the lost data. This has happened 5 times in last 6 months and I have no clue why. I have seen many other complaining of the same problem in this forum but there's no solution. I hope to find on in this thread.
For your knowledge, i'm using 8gb micro sd that came with the phone and i'm already on FW ver 40.X which is the latest.
List of Nokia phones I've used: 3310, 3315, 3200, 6600,3250, N73 ME, N95 8GB, 5800 XpressMusic and Nokia X6 16 GB (currently using this).

I have the same problem on my Nokia 5800 XM v50. It happens since i use it last August when it was v30. I am using the original 8GB microSD card.
Glad that the loss files are always mp3s or mp4 that I copied from computer to the memory card. I didn't loss any photos or videos taken with the phone camera.
Another problem is that sometimes I cannot startup phone with the memory card plugged. It just shows the Nokia shaking hands and then white screen forever. I have to take out the battery or press the power button for more than 8sec to trun it off.
Sometimes I am able to start the phone by remove battery several times. BUT NOT TODAY. It can start if I take out the memory card before I press power button. After it is loaded into the home screen, if I insert the memory card, it HANGS.
I have been a Nokia user for 10yrs. And I always have faith on Nokia phones even when there were a lots of bugs on 5800 v30. BUT today i am really frustrated ....
My phones: Nokia 5130, 3210, 3310, 6510, 6108, 6230, 3250, (Windows Mobile), 5800XM, N8 + Booklet 3G.
bye Nokia...

Nokia 5800 Memory Card Corruption

Hi I have had my 5800 for going on 6 months now and have started to run into problems which i thin are being caused by the memory card.
1. The music player wil not start with the card inserted ( got an error about a corrupt database)
2. Unable to download files from the internet ( error message unable to downlaod file ...)
3. Data being lost on the memory card and having to format and re install all my data ( have done this once)
i have also done a hard rest (red+green +camera)
wondering if any of these problems have been seem befor and if you could sujest solutions

memory card corruption is common. i am surprised that the one supplied with your phone lasted this long. you can try to reformat the memory card and see if this helps any. if not just buy another card. yes such behaviors can be seen in phones with corrupted memory cards but not only.

5800 memory card disk error

I just got my phone back from repair (home screen buttons weren't working and music player stopped after one song). The home screen now works fine but as soon as I put my memory card back in it now comes up with 'disk error unable to write'. My laptop won't recognise the phone either. It won't let me format the card either as this makes it hang and I have to take the battery out.
Is there a solution to this or am I going to have to take it back for another repair?
I cannot wait for my contract to be up.

Memory card seems corrupted, try to use Card reader on your laptop to backup data first, then format card, if successfully formated, then insert to phone, hopefully it'll work after being formatted.
Previous Phones: 6600, 7610, 6230, 6230i, 1100, 1112, N70, N73, N95, N95 8GB, 5800XM, 5230, C5, iPhone 3GS, SE Xperia X10, N900, N8, SE Xperia Arc

5800 memory issues

Hi all,
When taking pictures with the 5800 I get the message (cannot acces memory card, phone memory used instead)
I change memory options to E: Memory card but still get the message when taking pics.
I can access the card fine from phone file manager and through PC.
Have reformatted and tried second sd card.
Games and some apps will not install on the sd card either but will on phones memory.

It could be due to a faulty memory card. You said you've formatted it and still you have issues. Then chances are high that you would need a new one.
As said by the poster above, you may try restoring factory settings (Type *#7780# at the stand-by screen. This will not result in loss of data). But if it's something to do with the memory card then it won't help.
Cheers,

Switching music from memory card to phone memory (...

Hi,
i have hardly any space left on my Nokia 5800 memory card, and would like to know how to put some songs onto the phone memory as i have some free space there.
does anybody know how?
(very greatfull)

You can use the file manager on the phone to move items between the memory card and phone. If you have any difficulties with it check out the help section within the application.
You should make sure you leave a bit of space in the phones memory so that you have plenty of space for messages and programs.
It may be a better option to purchase a 16gb memory card instead.

Lost Installed Applications on E71 Memory Card

I lost the Installations on my E71 Memory Card and would like to restore them. Can any one help me? Things like Scaner and other stuff. Kayus

Unfortunately, there is no way to recover the password in the latest S60 phones. The only way that I know so far is by reformatting the memory card.
Phone menu: It can be done from Memory Card application by selecting Options | Format memory card menu. Of course, you will lose all your data in the memory card
Phone to PC: Connect your Phone to PC in Mass Storage, and select your memory card and format it. This should work. But you will loose your data!

Memory Card or Phone Issue????

Hi guys,
I really need help so badly. I am using E71 and im having hardtime to transfer my files (photos, videos, and musics) from comp to my phone and vice versa. When i connecting my phone to comp using USB Cable the device will act as removable device in My Computer (WIN XP OS) when i open my Memory Card Driver all icons appear only as shorcuts, when i opened like for an instance "Images Folder" i was able to see my pics from that folder that taken from my phone. I tried to copy those photos over to my comp w/o removing them to its original device, that will work good. As soon as i disconnect my phone from comp and tried to navigate or open Gallery>Images, all pics will appears distorted and sometimes it will show a single pic taken with multiple or lots of copy with the same image.
Same with the musics, i transferred from comp to my phone memory card, it will transferred just fine but when i refresh the playlist/track it will appear "0 Copied". There was nothing that recover or recognize but when you connect again the phone to comp you can see the files that was been transferred but the problem is it seems not being recognize buy the phone. I had already reformat the card several times. Used internal phone memory only and took sample pics and transfer them it was look fine. I had tried as well to change memory Card but still doing the same thing. I even used memory card reader but same thing happened.
Another problem i currently experiencing is when taking pics/video using memory card, can take good pics but as soon as you go to the Gallery you will never see the pics/video that you took but when you connect the phone to comp files will show thats on memory card.....so weird!
I really cant figure out the problem and im very frustrated for what its acting. I am just thinking to totally RE-FORMAT my phone memory to start all over again. I wish someone can HELP me out with this issue im having...need an answer soon!! =(

Hi ajaydavidson..tnx for the ur info but unfurtunately i tried to use memory card reader already because i though it will will be easier for me to do that. Same thing happens, when i connect the card using card reader it card will appear as removable but icons inside appears only as Shortcuts Icons. I was able to open it and able to transfer filed from card to comp anf vice versa but the problem is as soon as i put the card back to my phone files wont ahow at all.. Images appear distorted and unable to refresh the my playlist. I am thinking maybe its a comp problem as well and need to be totally formatted. =(
Thanks for ur time to replay...^_^

Good day!!
Encountering the same problem here...
Here is the exact message by Windows Vista Ultimate:
ServiceLayer Module stopped working and was closed
A problem caused the application to stop working correctly.
Windows will notify you if a solution is available.
Can Nokia provide an explanation for this?
I cannot access the contents of my memory card and phone memory using the File Manager at PC Suite version 7.0, which, I believe, is the latest version since I just downloaded it a moment ago.
Any explanation from other users will also be highly appreciated...

N97 Memory in use and memory card not present issu...

Hello,
I bought my Nokia N97 2 weeks ago from your website. I switched my old phone data over to the new one, transfer few document, music onto the new phone from my PC and updated software last week. It worked for up until now but yesterday I all of a sudden
- while I was playing music got a message saying files have been corrupted, it stopped playing music and deleted all documents from the E drive.
- I went into the file manager but I could not access my E: Mass Storage drive anymore (from file manager) as it says 'memory in use'.
- I connected the phone through USB cable to my PC, select PC suite on my phone but I got a message on the phone screen which said "Memory card not present (USB card may not work as expected)"even though I used it last week. However, while USB is connected, I could see the 'Phone Browser' on my explorer on my PC but no mass storage
- I have restarted several times, took the battery in and out and tried but no luck.
- I did a hard reset on the phone (*#7370#), it reset everything but no luck on the E: Mass Storage as it still says 'memory not in use'
- I tried software update, it refreshes the list and does not update anything when I click on it.
- I went to Nokia Care Centre and they failed to fix the issue (after doing a reboot) and asked me to send the faulty phone back.
I bought the phone from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk - when I called them, they were quite hostile and asked me to email ([email protected]). I emailed but the response time is apparently 5 days. The guy on the phone tells me since the phone is 7 days older they cannot replace it. I called the insurance guys, they said because it is a manufacturer issue its not covered by the insurance. I called the repair centre recommended by mobilephonesdirect, they said if nokia care centre cannot repair it, there is no point in sending in the phone.
Now what do I do? Does anyone know how to fix this "memory not present" issue?

Hi mate, Not sure how to fix the problem ,but you have the right for this to be sorted.
I take it you bought it from a website or over phone,this is classed as distance selling, That means you are entitled to 7 days "cooling off period" in which you can return the product no questions asked. I think this is where they are getting there 7 days from. It has nothing to do with faulty goods. If the goods are faulty it breached the "Sales of Goods act 1979" as the goods should be fit for purpose which yours is not.
The Sale of Goods Act makes reference to ‘the seller’, this is the shop, the retailer, or the individual you bought it from, and is who you made the contract with. It is not the manufacturer, and don’t let the shop tell you otherwise! If there is an obvious fault with the item at any time within the first 6 months and it has not been caused by wear and tear or misuse, your first port of call must be the shop you bought it from. They have the responsibility to put the matter right, and should not evade this responsibility by referring you to the manufacturer in the context of a guarantee or warranty. Even after this 6 month period, if the item breaks down prematurely , you should always go back to the shop or retailer in the first instance.
Your statutory rights under the Sale of Goods Act take precedence over and above any warranty or guarantee you may have with either the retailer or manufacturer. It is misleading for a shop to tell you they can do nothing simply because their warranty or guarantee has run out, because you will still have your statutory rights.
I have an n97 and my key lock slider just came off. I had to argue untill I was blue in the face that it is a fault and not over use (its the most pressed key on the phone) Finally they sent it off for repair for me.
Hope all this helps a little. There is more info on many websites on Sales of goods act which may also help you.
Regards
Jesta

I have recently connected my phone with my laptop and now I am unable to access my media from the memory card. How do I solve this problem?

i am having the same problem and i have the 8520. I then connected the phone to my laptop where it was scanned for a virus. after the virus was deleted i could no longer acces my files from the computer.
now i cant access my files on my phone or on the computer. i really need help
I cannot see my media card, so can't manage my media files.
My desktop tells me that I need to "insert a disk into drive F:" ... which is the default for the USB port that the BB is plugged into, but will not let me explore.

Nokia 5800 Restart Problem with the Memory Card

hi,
i am facing a peculiar problem with my 5800.i hv firmware v21.
Whenever i restart the phone with the sd card inserted (it has around 35+apps/games loaded but 4.3GB of memory is free) ;the phone hangs up at the "nokia" screen & i hv to remove the battery.on ejecting the card & then restarting; the phone starts up fine.on inserting the card later after the restart; it is read without any problems by the phone & all the apps. work fine.i do not hv any apps loaded for start up.
i saw similar problems posted in some other topics for 5800;but could not get a clear idea whether this problem was occuring in other phones as well.Is it firmware related or due to large no. of apps on the phone?
please help.

it is most likely the corrupt memory card issue, it happens quiet often. that is why back up is so essential to have especially of memories and such. for that i use share online and upload my pics right away to ovi or vox whichever.
the programs you bought you should be just able to download once again and plug in the key you have gotten with your applicatioins. you should be able to recover all of your purchases. i am sorry for your pics for those can't be recovered
i always keep a separate email folder for all my application keys so i can find they easily as phones and memory does get corrupt. i can do it relatively quickly and have the info handy even on the go

I cannot erase alias JPeg images on a memory card so that it will not accept any more which I try to load onto it, yet there are no actual images available if I click on any of them. The error message states that one or more cannot

Cannot delete aliases for JPeg images on a lumix camera memory card even selecting individual images anjd trying to move to trash -error35 one or more items cannot be found. No image available on clicking or if card put back into camera-"no images to disply" Yet if try to add more images, message that card is full! Any suggestions?

Deleting from iPhoto or image capture after import should be fine and shouldn't cause any issues. Deleting from the folder view of finder, can cause issues as the camera can the image is still there. You can try emptying the trash on your mac if you deleted them via the finder, as although you've deleted it, it's only marked as trashed and not actually deleted until you empty the trash - ie it won't relieve the space taken by the files.
If your still having issues after you try this, you may be best formating the memory card. This will wipe all data on it though, so make sure you do copy anything off that yo u want to keep! Format from the camera, so that choosing the format>erase all option from the menu of most cameras.

Nokia C5-03 memory card issue

I have C5-03 for a couple of weeks only, but there's one annoying issue concerning the memory card (which came with the phone)
Sometimes (and it happens often and often) there's a message that pops up
"Can't remove memory card without selecting "remove memory card" first." In result the memory card is no longer acceptable.
At first I thought I haven't locked the touchscreen and I have accidentally pressed something. But this have happened last night, while my phone was on a shelf, and a few moments ago while it was lying on the desk next to me. I see the message after I unlock the phone. Restarting it helps, but it's not a solution.
Any suggestions?

REMOVE THAT 2GB AND GO FOR 8GB OR 16GB .
use more memory FOR LONGER USAGE THEN THERE IS NO ERRORS AGAIN I AM ALSO HAVING C5 03 and using 8GB.......
IF ANY PROBLEM CAME AGAIN IN OUR MODEL PLEASE CONTACT ME KINDLY I WILL SURE YOU BEST SOLUTION OK THANQQ...
