E63 - Memory Corrupted - Due to Device Lock / Remo...

Question

I have a brand new Nokia E63 (same as E71). My memory card is suddenly corrupted, but I managed to fix it. I believe the source of the problem is the Remote Lock and the Device Lock of the unit.
The problem started after I enabled the Device Lock and Remote Lock of my E63 unit. After a couple of hours, I tried opening my apps in the memory card. To my surprise, it's corrupted! I didn't panic because I'm confident I could retrieve the contents of the card with a memory reader device. But when I inserted my memory card to my PC, the card is unreadable. I had a feeling that the card must had been badly corrupted. But how? I just got this unit almost a day ago. I didn't do anything odd. I'm an OOP-Design Patterns oriented programmer so I'm not newbie when it comes to best practices.
As I searched the web, I found that there are people who encountered the same exact problem. And their guess is also the Device Lock.
So what I did is I disabled the Remote Lock and the Device Lock feature. I checked my memory card and it's still corrupted!
I turn off my unit and turn it on again, but sadly it's still corrupted!
I removed the memory card while the unit is on and then reinserted the card, and it worked.
In summary, to solve this memory corrupted problem, try disabling the Remote Lock and Device Lock feature. To disable the Device Lock, revert the password to "12345" (Do not type the quotes). Remove the memory card (Use the remove memory card feature of your unit!). Re-insert the card to your unit and problem should be fixed.

Answer 1

i wonder if its a problem with this phone...i have faced a lot of problems with accessing data on the memory card...time & again the songs added to the music player list disappear...the applications that i installed on the memory card are also sometimes "invisible"...when i try installing them again, it says these already exist...
have formatted the memory card quite a few times now...
luckily for me i took the backup of the memory card (that came in the box) & phone on the very 1st day...
hence, every time i format the memory card, i copy the initial contents...
but its quite irritating & frustrating...1 nite i go to sleep after listening to songs, the next morning it shows no songs found...have to restart the phone 2-3 times to find them again...
is phone lock & device lock the same thing that you talking about? i have tried the phone lock but my memory card did not get corrupted...remote lock i have never tried...
as for your queries sidy_porche,
1) as per the specs mentioned on the site "Video recording file formats: .mp4, .3gp; codecs: H.263, MPEG-4 VSP" & "Video playback file formats: .Flash Lite 3, mp4, .3gp; codecs: H.263, MPEG-4 VSP" also "Video streaming: .3gp, mp4, .rm"
i think the specs that you mentioned for playback will be compatible...d  "640x480, 15fps, 3GP"
2) 3GP videos are played...but its quite interesting...the phone plays some videos while says "file corrupt" for others of the same format...i had 2-3 video songs of mp4 format,they work absolutely fine...i then transferred some new mp4 videos & they simply wont play...
3) it takes exactly 2 hours ( you can see it on the clock  ) to charge from 0 to 100%...which is quite good coz a 1500mah battery gets charged in 2 hours...i had a 6265 earlier which took around 2.5 hrs to 3 hrs to get charged with the charger that came in the box...using the adapter, ca44 or something, it got charged in 1.5 hours dot.
4) ya the hearset has a mic...the best thing about this phone or rather one of the best thing is that it has a 3.5mm audio jack...you can insert any damn headphones (your fav ones) into it & enjoyyyyy...even speakers that you attach to your laptop/computer can be used...its awesome 
i hope it helps
