Corrupted microSD card in 6120 classic

I have Nokia 6120 Classic. Today I've opened my music player and it did not find any songs that were on the micro SD card. I got the card out and when I inserted it again it said that it's corrupted and wanted to format it. After the format I got it out again and then back in. Again corrupted. No matter how many times I've done that the result was the same. I've connected it to my laptop via an USB cable in pc suite mode. When I've copied some mp3s and tried to read them they were corrupted. I've got the card out, put it in my laptop, formated it in fat32, inserted it again in the phone and copied some songs in data mode. The music players found them, added them in the music library but when I restarted the phone I had to add them again. And it adds the song rather slowly.. and the browsing of the files in the phone browser is slow So.. should I buy a new micro SD card or it is the phone? I bought it 2 weeks ago. The card is new too. What should I do? I've tested it under Windows for bad sectors.. anything else. How to be sure that the card is faulty, and not the phone?

"6120 cannot use 4GB SD cards"
Really?:

SDHC support Nokia 6120 classic

Hi there,
Does the Nokia 6120 classic support microSDHC cards, i.e. memory cards of 4GB and larger? Yes, I know the specification only says up to 2GB normal microSD. The E90 and N95 do support SDHC while they have the same Symbian platform (S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1). Anyone tried a 4GB in a 6120 already?
I use a 4 GB card 9FAT32) in my 6230i and works perfectly, while according specifications only 512MB (FAT16) is supported.

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...

How do I view maps on the 6120 classic?

Hi all.
I have downloaded Nokia Map loaders and installed it on both the 6120 and the PC. I have also downloaded Nokia Maps and installed them on the Memory card via a card reader as instructed as I am told that the maps can not be installed onto the Symbian phone via a USB connection.
I have run the Nokia maps program on the Classic first before attempting to use maps as instructed.
It would appears that the downloads went well because both the installations took a bit of time as the progress bar went across the screen of the 6120.
When I tried to view maps, all I got was the world globe to load and from there nothing.
Just as a point as it may have a bearing. When I tried a Maps download via the PC and Nokia Map Loader, I got the usual gray panel with instruction on how to download, but when I clicked 'next' to got to the next phase where I was to select a country or district or whatever I was told that the connection to the server has been interrupted and to try again, and again, and again...you get the picture.
I found some instructions on the net:
"After installing the Nokia Map Loader application on your PC, start the application. First, choose the continent in the tab on the top of the application window. Then choose the country. Some small countries can be chosen completely, others have several sub-maps from which you have to choose the ones you want to install".
I have never seen this panel anywhere! I believe this is the one that is supposed to come after the gray instructional panel as I stated above.
What am I doing wrong?
I read that I do not need an Internet or GPS connection just to view maps (and that is all that I want to do) so why can't I view my maps, ANY maps?
So whatever I have so far downloaded to the memory card (and from memory is somewhere around 60 something MB, could be more, could be less)is at the moment doing nothing for me.
I really need help here please. :-(
Regards
Nokia 6120 classic
May the "Farce" be with you!

The 6120 classic puts freshly installed apps straight into the main menu.
Try to uninstall it from settings>app.mgr.
Manual removal of Nokia Maps is a pain in the a** because the files are spread all over c:\ with cryptic file names from the smart2go era, most of 'em in folders that you can only get into if you hack your copy of Symbian. It's easier to back up your contacts, messages and calender entries etc., then reset your phone and reinstall your programs.
Next time you install Nokia Maps (or any other app, especially if it's made by Nokia) make a backup of your phone first.

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!

Sometimes the drivers for your Nokia device and associated connectivity cables can become corrupted.
To resolve this, uninstall and re-install Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater:
- In your PC’s Control Panel, go to Add/Remove programs
- Uninstall Nokia Software Updater (if there are more than one entries uninstall all of them)
- Uninstall Nokia PC Suite
- Go to www.europe.nokia.com/pcsuite to download and install the latest version of Nokia PC Suite

Suddenly my phone's microSD card is not detected

I have a Nokia 6300 which i have been using for more than a year. Suddenly last week my phone stopped detecting the microSD card (128 mb) which came along with phone. I tried taking out & re-inserting but it didnt help. I have also tried accessing it through Nokia Browser through my laptop but that has also not helped... I tried inserting in another phone but there also it is not detecting.
Is it a virus attack? How can I make my phone detect the card?
PLzzzzzzzzzz help me out. I have some important pics that I would miss out......

It's certainly not a virus.
It sounds like your card has become damaged or corrupted.
Your only option for recovering data from this card is to use it in a card reader with a PC along with data recovery software.
You can find plenty of free recover software by searching google.
If the PC manages to read the card without any special software then it may be a hardware issue with the card reader in the phone.

Dear Islamic Brother, assalamu alaikum!
i had the same problem with my 6120c phone. the original version in my set was 4.2 and i updated it to 5.11 myself. afterwards Islamic Organizer was not installing. but im glad to find a very simple solution myself.
Important: All your data and installed applications will be removed permanently. So you should take backup of all your data on phone memory (contacts, calender items, sms, images etc) and though not necessary but in order to be safer - remove your memory card before following these steps:
- Turn off your phone
- Press and hold '*' '3' and 'call' buttons, and while holding all these three buttons simultaneously, and press 'ON' button. (this may sound difficult but when you will try to do this you will find it easy)
- Keep all these four buttons press until your phone starts
- If you have done it correctly the phone will ask you to enter your country, city, time and date, etc.
- Go to Menu>Download - refresh the list and download Islam Organiser again.
- That's all!!
May we all respect our prayer timings!

6120 Classic and SMS smileys?

Hey,
I just bought a 6120 Classic, and wow - I'm just blown away. It's awesome!
However, on my old Ericsson when writing SMS's, I could just write ... and then use up / down to choose some smiley.
When I try something like that only my 6120, I get the following:

So, what do I do?

You can try to use PC Suite for this. First, set your phone to use Phone Memory for messages. Then, use PC Suite to copy/move all your messages to your PC. After copying, set your phone to use Memory Card for messages and copy the messages back. =)

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.
Michael
Nokia Lumia 1520 | Windows Phone 8.1 "Lumia Cyan"

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!
