E90 - memory card limit?

Hi!
According to Nokia the memory card limit for E90 is 4 GB. Wonder if 8 GB is possible? Anyone knows?

Apparently the key issue is not the size of your memory card but its speed. When I had a Transcend 2 Gb card, the system crashed often, and I had to re-installed it (*#7370#) up to six times. Then I replaced this slow card with a much faster Sandisk (same size) and the repeated crashes disappeared. Unfortunately, there is no way to know the speed of a card before you buy it. As far as I know, Nokia does not publish a list of compliant cards. And the S60 v3 operating system seems to lack internal routines to comply with slow memory response.

E90 Memory card problem!

Ok so i just updated my phone and it tells me to put memory cards password. Is there some kinda "normal" password that i could use to unlock it? I cant remember my old password ( I dont remember putting it...) and i cant get access to my phone !!!!!

I see there are a lot of users who have had resoults by trying different codes. Some seems to have solved it by entering 12345 or 1, or just 0, or the pin code...
Do you have some sort of code you've used for different things? It should not really ask for a code if you have't set one. Date of birth etc?
You could try reading these links to. I've no guaranty that it will work, but users claims that it has: /t5/Eseries-and-Communicators/Nokia-E71-amp-memory-card-password-after-fw-upgrade/m-p/555069#M50780

Problem with 5300 and 2 GB memory card

Hi,
I just bought 5300 phone and 2 gb micro sd card, sandisk.
And I am now storing music files to the card via usb connection and phone is shown to pc as a disk.
It transfers 990 MB of music and after that is says card is full.
From gallery it shows memory card as 2 gb card, and full status is 990 MB, free fine also. I tried transfer also with music manager same result. Like the 1 gb is the limit somehow.
Is it ?

I also have problems with my new Kingston 2GB micro SD card on Nokia 5300. However quite different. I uploaded appr. 1.5 GB music and it worked fine. Then I switched the phone off. When I tried to switch it on again the screen started to flash and after 15 sec the phone switched off itself. It took for a while till I discovered that the problem somehow relates to the memory card. When it was removed the phone worked fine (no flashing, no switch off). I reformatted the memory card and everything worked fine till the next switch off. Then it started again. I updated the software (V 04.70), but it didn't help. I'm not 100% sure but it seems to me that the problem relates to the music player which tries to update the music library after the switch off and somehow it freezes the phone.
Any idea how to solve this?
In short because I don't have a 5300 - No ...
However - something to try is to see if your card works without problems on a PC (via USB card reader) or laptop (some have memory card slots built in)
Lastly on Nokia's 5300 webpage it states that they only recommend using authorised cards ... it might be worth seeing if you experience the same issue with Nokia's own 2Gb microSD card ?

Memory cards File limitation - IMPORTANT

Hello all,
This may be old news to many of the techies out there. But just wanted to get this out for other people that may not know this.
Memory cards are formatted into FAT (File Allocation Table), format. This format (also used in PC Hard Drives) has a specific limit on the number of files it may have on a single folder.
The limit is 1000 (one thousand) files.
So if you are trying to move 1000 files into the root folder of a 2 GB memory card chances are it will fail or give and error message.
This limitation is not Nokia's but part of the FAT format. So to avoid problems keep this in mind if you are trying to save a lot of pictures or songs in a single folder, it won't take more than 1000 individual files. Sometimes when you drag and drop all the hidden files will also be moved, so you may not know that you are transfering more than 1000 files. You have to change the options in the Windows to show hidden files and folders so that you know what is actually being transferred.
Of course you can have more than 1000 files, you just have to put them in more than one folder.
This is also true for the N91 and N91 8GB HDD.
Enjoy!

People, please read my post.
You can have 10,000+ files on a FAT format card or HDD, but you can't have 1000 (one thousand) in a single folder or the Root folder (i.e. If you just copy all the files to E
Also, I have used N93 with 1 and 2 GB card and it works, albeith it gets a bit slower when there is a lot of data on the card and the card is getting low on memory.
So again, you can have lots and lots of files just not in a single folder in the memory card.
EDIT: Read my signature.
I've seen video footage of Bill Gates actually saying the 640K comment. Or at least I think I have... anyways, the fact is that up until Windows 98 (or was it 95 OSR2) they still were struggling with this memory limit. So even if he didn't say it, they sure designed the SW architecture to be limited by 640 KB.Message Edited by el_loco on 08-Feb-2007

Browse HTM files on Memory Card

I would like to browse html files that I have saved (using a card reader) on my memory card, but keep getting a "file not found" error message.
Would some kind soul please tell me what address I should enter when using "Go To Address"?
I'm using a 6230, my memory card is called "Card" and one of the files is called "start.htm"

You'll almost certainly need to open the file from a file browser like File Manager or Y-Browser.
The Web browser will only be looking at an internet address not a local address.
I have full End User experience of:
5510, 3210, 3310, 3510, 3510i, N80, N80IE, 7610, 2610, 1208 and current E90.

Problem exporting images to a memory card

Greetings,
I am attempting to export approximately 1500 photos from an album in IPhoto 08 and put them onto a SD memory card to be used in a digital frame. I have exported the photos from IPhoto and placed them into a folder on my desktop. The folder size is 966 MB according to the “Get Info” command. When I attempt to copy the images from the folder on the desktop to the memory card, a few of the images will transfer over, then I get the following command: “The item _____ cannot be copied because there is not enough free space.” I tried to copy all of the images at once, and when that didn’t work, I tried to copy in smaller batches. I have tried this numerous times and the following (using a 2GB card) is my most recent result: by copying 10-20 images at a time, I was able to copy a total of 162 pictures before I could no longer transfer any images. I have tried and I cannot add another single image to the card, yet when I use the “Get Info” command it tells me that 146.3 MB have been used on the card and 1.73 GB (of a total of 1.87 GB) are available. I have tried this with 1 GB, 2GB as well as 4GB cards.
Has anyone experienced this before? Could it possibly have anything to do with the format of the card? Is it an issue of using a SDHC card? If so, which card should I use? Please help. I’m hoping to give the digital frames (with images) to family for Xmas.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Andy

Andy
It has everything to do with the Format of the card.
These cards are formatted FAT16 or FAT 32, and these older Windows formats have a limit to the number of objects they can have on the root directory of the volume. So, don’t copy the images from the folder on your desktop, just drag the folder to the card...

Zen SD card lim

Can anyone tell me if the new Zen has a limit on the size of SD (or SDHC) memory card you can put into it's The info around doesn't specify?
32 Gb may not be enough for me... but would probably buy it if the card size was unrestricted.

Thanks for the reply.
Not integrating fully into the OS wouldn't be too much of an issue for me as long as i could put, say a 6 Gb card into it. I know some devices (phones for instance) will not take cards bigger than 2Gb,? was just wondering if this is the same for the new Zen.

NOKIA N79 CANT BACKUP CONTACT DATA TO MEMORY CARD

hello,
I am not able to backup the contact data of my nokia n79 to memory card. When performing the above function the progress bar progresses for sometime goes 50 % completed and then returns to the home screen. Tried formatting the phone/MC as well as re-flashed the firmware but no use. Is there anyone having similar issue ?. FYI the phone is under warranty and there is no proper response
from the nokia centre so i have decided to repair it myself. Is there any workaround for this issue ??
Thanx in advance

My question still stands though, if you look in the directory, has it actually backed up all your contacts or not? meaning are all the *.vcf files there.
if not, which file does is the last that was created, find the equivalent in the contacts database, and check if there is something wrong/different with the next contact compared to others?
Yes, there may be an error, but at least until it is fixed you may be able to work around it.
(I presume there is plenty of space on your memory card? note that the phone has a self imposed limit to prevent memory card from being completely full, so if card is very close to full it is possible that backup utility stops)

Hi robjworsley
Unfortunately it does not, so 2Gb microSD is your limit.

What is the biggest size of compatible memory card...

Hi,
when I bought my E90 one year ago, I read somewhere (can't remember where) that there are problems if you use a memory card bigger then 2GB. If I remember correctly, there was a allegation that a bigger memory card would slow down the performance of the phone and would even freeze the phone from time to time.
So, what memory card do you use with your E90?
Please also mention what software you have installed, because this could be related with how it handles the additional memory!!!
I recently updated my software to version 300.34.84
Thanks in advance for your reply.

16GB cards works well but surely it slows down the phone as hell and the phone tends to hang a lot..........
also during my six days alteast twice a day my phone would refuse to recognize this card........
I tried installing my all apps on the phone memory but still the **bleep** was not repairable...........
So i wud definitely advise not to experiment with the 16 GB card rather go for 8 GB either by Toshiba, kingston or even scandisk .......
wat the hell nokia centers do also have made in Japan nokia branded 8GB cards..........

Which programs use the memory card?

Can anyone help me determine which programs use the memory card? My E90 won't connect in transfer mode because Pc Suite says there is an application using it. As far as I'm concerned, active notes and sms were the ones to blame. They specifically have the option to use the memory card. But I can't find it in other apps. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Various installed programs will run from your MMC in the background. I suggest you install and app called Best Taskman from www.symbianware.com.
Install this to your phone memory!
Now open it up, press options - view - advanced - processes
you will see all running processes and an icon next to them. If th icon looks like a memory card, then it is running from that. Press the "C" key on each MMC running process to close them.
Now you'll be able to connect via mass storage.
I recommend making a note of which apps these are and re-installing them to your phone memory instead. Also, any app you know will have a feature required to tun in the background, ensure this is installed on the phones memory!
If I have helped you, please hit the star at the bottom of my posts - it's appreciated!

Transferring contacts onto memory card

Hi there
I want to sync 1200 contacts from Outlook onto my Nokia 6300. But when i sync my Outlook with the phone, only 1,000 contacts are synced. Is there any way of ensuring all my Outlook contacts are saved on the 2gb memory card in the phone?
Cheers

The limit seems to be 1000 contacts - doesn't matter where it's stored. I had a Sony Ericsson handset (K750i) that had a limit of 500 contacts. Heaven only knows why manufacturers impose these random limitations!

Couldn't save files to memory card of 3110 classic

Hi,
I have memory card of 1 gb with 3110 classic, it shows around 600 MB full and 300+ MB free space, but I am not able to put any files in it. don't want to format the card since it comes with some preloaded copyright games which I don't want to delete.
any help is appreciated.
Abhishek

Thanks I will try it,
BTW i found out that problem is because phone is refusing to put more than 145 files in card. So It is not the problem with card's capacity but somehow file limit in card is set to hardcoded 145 files.
I will try with card which has more than 145 files in it and see if phone accepts that card
