8120 SD Card Freezes Phone

I have been having a tremendous amount of problems with my 8120 pear freezing.  T-Mobile tech support couldn't figure out the problem, and sent a replacement phone, and the new phone had the same problems.  I finally figured out it was the SD Card causing the problems.  The problems started when I updated my device software to the latest version.  I had a 4G card in it for a long time without a hitch, I bought an 8G card, and didn't have any problems either for several weeks until the software upgrade.  Now my phone freezes with the 4G or 8G card, I even bought a new 8G card thinking that was the problem.  Any way to downgrade to 4.3 software?  Any fixes?

My Droid X does the same.  It works fine w/o the SD card. I am able to access the SD card using my reader and am in the process of copying all the data off it (10 of 16 gigs used). 
Any idea what is the problem if the SD card is readable?
Thanks. 
(I will eventually reformat the SD card and reinsert.  Will update with results of that after done and then if possible, after readding some data.)
Also, my phone has been crashing a lot lately anyway... particularly when using Google Maps. 
Most cases like this there is a corrupt file on the SD card.  After you format the SD card and if it tests okay when put back in your phone, add the folders back on one at a time and reboot the phone.  When you find it doesn't reboot you know you found the folder with the bad file.

  • Contact freezes phone

    Here's an odd situation. My contact information (meaning the one tagged as "My Card" in Address Book) consistently freezes both my and my wife's iPhone. We first noticed it about a week ago when she tried to call me by looking through contacts and pulling up my number - phone froze. Now her phone doesn't ring when I call her, the call goes to voicemail and her phone freezes.
    If I scroll through contacts on my phone and try to select my card, my phone freezes as well. I have already deleted My Card, re-created it and synced via MobileMe. The problem hasn't changed.
    Any ideas? It's pretty frustrating that we can't even call each other.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

    Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
    Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
    Backup Phone A.
    Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
    When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
    After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

  • Transfer Phone numbers from SIM card to phone

    Is it possible to transfer Phone numbers from the SIM card to phone, in the NOKIA 6070?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    "Search for the contact you want to copy, and select Options > Copy. You can copy names and phone numbers
    from the phone contact memory to the SIM card memory, or vice versa. The SIM card memory can save names
    with one phone number attached to them."

  • 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.

    There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support.
    If you've forgotten your answers to your security questions then you can get them reset : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
    If you have a credit card on your account then its details have to complete - and asking for their details is also a way of checking that you have a valid billing address in that country. As long as you are buying content for yourself and not trying to gift content (you can't use your balance for gifting) then the purchase price (plus any applicable taxes) should be deducted from your balance. If it's not then you contact iTunes Support :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Copying/Moving messages from Memory card to phone ...

    Hello,
    I had a nokia 5800, when i was changing my phone, i copied all my (important) text messages to the memory card and later i bought a nokia e71x. I inserted the same memory card and then went to my messages>settings>Other> and changed the path from phone memory to the memory card. All my messages appeared in my inbox.
    Now, i want to move all those messages into my phone memory and for some reason i can't do it. I don't wanna access my messages from the memory card cuz its slow. I tried to move all those messages inside the phone and also through PC SUITE but no luck...
    SO BASICALLY I WANT TO MOVE ALL MY TEXT MESSAGES FROM THE MEMORY CARD TO PHONE MEMORY.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thanks in advance.

    First of all if size of your mp3 was a concer then you should have used the Music Manager in PC Suite to convert them to aac as they would be super small in size.
    Next use File Manager to move from the card to the phone. Better to sva eringtones on the phone or you would lose the 'link' everytime you take your card out.
    Two ways to set the ringtone for everyone. First would be to set it in your profile. And the other would be to set it to Groups... and the last one, each contact at a time.

  • IPhone 3GS - Can I use existing US t-mobile SIM and German O2 SIM cards (for phone calls) without buying a data plan?

    I currently use 2 phones to make calls: one t-mobile locked phone for the US and one O2 locked phone for Germany, both without data plan.
    Can I upgrade using just one phone (factory unlocked iPhone 3GS)  and continue to use the existing SIM cards for phone calls (just switching the SIM cards when necessary), but use free WIFI spots worldwide for internet access/data transfer?
    Thanks Michael

    No supported carrier, including T-Mobile in the U.S., permits the use of an iPhone without a data plan. Though it's technically possible to do it, if and when they find you, they will either charge you for a data plan or shut down your account.

  • Transfer of msgs from mem card to phone mem

    I purchased an 8gb card and i want to transfer msgs from my old card to new one.
    So how do i do that?
    Firstly how do i transfer msgs from my old mem card to phone mem?
    IF YOU FIND POSTS HELPFUL HIT THE BIG GREEN BOX TO THE LEFT WITH THE WHITE STAR IN IT THANKS

    Take a backup of messages on PC using Nokia suite. Repalce the card and restore messages...
    For transfering these messages to Phone memory you may follow the same procedure but change the settings : Messaging -> Options -> Settings -> Other -> Memory in use: change from  "Memory card" to "Phone memory" and perform the operation of restore without putting in the new memory card...
    If you find this to your satisfaction, pl. hit the Green star..

  • How 2 move the message from memory card 2 phone me...

    did anyone know in nokia N73 how 2
    move the message from memory card move
    to phone memory???? did anyone know
    how 2 move it??? teach me plz.....

    Here is an easy way to move your messages from Phone Memory to Memory Card or from Memory Card to Phone memory In Nokia models.
    1- Install latest version of Nokia PC Suite and connect your set.
    2- Open Nokia Communication Centre. (Select Phone Memory or Memory Card from which you want to move messages to other memory)
    3- Select all messages in a single folder (Inbox/Sent Items or from My Folders) and click on file> export. This will create *.csv file.
    4- Download NBU Explorer 1.8 from http://www.soft82.com/download/windows/nokia-nbuex​plorer/  (You must have installed Windows Installer 3.1 and Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 to run NBU Explorer. You can easily download these from Microsoft Site,)
    5- Open *.csv file in NBU Explorer and click File > Export All. (Your all messages will be exported as *.vmg files.)
    6- Disconnect and connect your phone again in Nokia PC Suite.
    7- Now set your target memory in your phone for messages.
    8- Open Communication Centre and Select your desired folder then click on file > Import messages by selecting multiple messages *.vmg files. (You don’t have to import messages one by one but you can import all messages in a single folder at once)
    9- And you have done it.
    10- You can import *.csv list in Nokia PC Suite rather *.vmg files, but in this case, all the spaces (blank spaces) in your messages will be lost. All the text of your messages will be merged to a single line. So exporting via NBU Explorer is recommended.  
    11- Any query?  Contact me at ********@yahoo.com.

  • SD Card Freezes Droid X

    When starting up Droid X, system says "checking SD card for problems" and freezes all operations and keeps rebooting.  Droid only works when I remove the SD card.  I've tried connecting droid to computer  via USB, but it keeps freezing on me and not allowing me to access SD card.  Any solutions on how to fix this before I bring it in to Verizon?
