Media card locking up phone

Hello, I have formated my media card twice and satred over with putting only media on it and it still locks up my phone, any suggestions on what to do next?

I would suggest keeping all of your posts on the same issue in one thread so that someone can see the history of what you have done/have not done and not have to recreate the wheel in helping you.

  • Phone freezes up when media card is in phone

    I have had my phone for a couple of weeks.  I have a 4gb card that I have had in my phone for over a week.  Now it is freezing up when the card is in the phone.  Once I take the card out the phone works just fine.  Any ideas of what I might of done?
    Solved!

    Did you upgrade your OS on the BB to OS 4.5 during that time?

  • Media card wont read on phone or PC. "Media card can not be accessed due to fatal errors"

    I've had my blackberry curve 8520 for over a year and never had any problems with the media card until now. I'm unable to look at any pictures, videos or music on my phone as i can not install the media card on my phone. I'm unable to repair it and format it also. The media card will also not be read when I plug it into my laptop with the USB. 
    I definitely know its the media card and not my phone itself as I've tried my brothers media card in my phone and it worked perfectly. When i put my media card in his phone, it did the same thing and came up with the same error.
    Does anyone know how i'll be able to make the media card read in my phone or my pc so I can backup the data as I don't really want to lose it all?
    Any help appreciated,
    Thanks! 

    From what you describe, the data that was on the media card is already gone. If the PC cannot read it and the BB cannot read it, then it has for some reason been fried. I'm sorry for your loss.
    You can try PC-based recovery utilities, but typically with flash memory (as opposed to magnetic memory of hard drives), once the data is gone, it's gone for good. But, you never know...give some of those a try and see what happens. Before you ask, no...I've no guidance for one versus another.
    Good luck!

  • How to transfer pictures saved on phone to media card

    Hi, I have a handful of pictures on my Torch 9810 and I am  trying to figure out how to transfer them to my media card on my phone.  Can it be done, if so, HOW?  Thank you in advance!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here's one method:
    KB05478 Transfer files between the media card and device memory on a BlackBerry smartphone
    Sadly, that's one by one...but, if you connect to your PC and activate Mass Storage Mode, you can use your computer to perform the actions, using your normal computer interface (which should allow you to move them all as a block rather than one by one):
    KB11879 What is mass storage mode
    KB13564 How to enable or disable mass storage mode on the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Good luck!

  • MicroSD Media Card is not being recognized by my BB 8100

    Hi,
    I currently have that problem with my Blackberry Pearl 8100.
    I put it a New 1 GB MicroSD (Patriot) card and connected the cable to the PC and on the PC I created a folder and added the music to it and pictures.  It worked fine but one day I took the SIM card out just because and when my phone restarted it would not go pass the providers screen. It stays there, it seems it freezes and it cannot be turned off.  So, I took the media card out and turned it on and it displays the screen with no problem. So again I turned it off and installed the card back in and it still the same problem. I also somehow I installed the media card in the phone without taking the battery out but it still doesn't recognize the card. Under Options says card is not installed.
    The first time I installed the card I don't think it was formatted(not sure). But it was working fine.
     I have installed another card and it still doesn't recognize another card. Also,the media card I tried it on another phone and it is not recognized. 
    Why would it work the first time as BrandonV(below) but not even locate it or make the phone not work while it has the Media card in?
    BrandonV, if you found a solution please let me know.
    Anyone else be kind enough to propose a solution.
    Thanks,
    Gaby
    this was someone trying to help out:
    Don't know why the BB would stop seeing the media card, but as far as your important stuff... have you tried putting the card into a reader hooked up to the PC to at least retrieve that stuff or move it to that other card that does work?
    Sorry that's all I can think of.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Try this.
    1) With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery.
    2) Remove the media card
    3) Insert the battery and replace the back cover.
    4) After boot up (~5 mins), check your Memory stats to be sure that is says that no media card is present.
    5) Pull out the battery again
    6) Put the media card back in and then insert the battery and reboot
    7) Launch the Media app and see if it is "Scanning" the media card (as it does for any new media card insertion).
    Best!

  • MEDIA CARD CANT BE READ DUE TO FATAL ERRORS

    Hi, I took my blackberry 9630 tour to the repairers to fix my trackball because it wasn't functioning. They fixed my trackball but the problem is when I insert my media card on the phone, I got a message sayng "media card cannot be accessed due to fatal errors" and I got shocked because the card was working before they opened my phone. Can someone please help me get back my 700 music files and pictures because they are important :'(

    Hello, Archie42,
    To better determine if the issue is being caused by the media card or the BlackBerry® smartphone,  I would suggest testing the media card in a PC, if the card is working transfer the files to your PC and then reformat the card and then test in the BlackBerry.
    I hope this helps.

  • In camera settings 'Save to Media Card' is ghosted..

    I have the media card inside the phone, it is formatted and recognized but when I go to camera settings I do not have the ability to "Save Pictures to Media Card" - the slider on/off is there but I can not move it to turn it on.
    Does anyone know how to set this?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try removing the SD card and reinserting, and at the same time, remove the battery and reinsert.
    Then, check that setting again.

  • Media card will not format

    I have not been able to format my media card. My phone does recognize it. But will not format for the blackberry pearl 8120 . HELP, I have done everything, and cant get it to format. I know I have the correct disk It is a scandisk 1.0gb Micro SD.

    hello,
    I strongly advise you to format the memory card with something else than the Blackberry. If you really have to do it from the blackberry, the procedure is here :

  • Media Card

    I have a 8330 BlackBerry. When I go to Options and click on Media Card, it says, "Media card cannot be read. Verify that the memory card is formatted". When I format it I get a message that reads, "Media Card Format Failed".  Any solutions?

    I recommend that you take the media card out of the phone and try to read it on a PC.  If it reads OK, I would then back up the files on the card (on to the PC) and format the card using the PC's system which is more thorough than the phones format system.
    If you have problems reading the media card on your PC, use the data recovery tools in your PC operating system to try and recover the media card contents.
    If the PC format is successful, then return the media card to your phone and see if can be read.  You may need to format it (in the phone).  FYI;  format in the phone typically is just to create the folders for your files (pictures, music, documents, etc.).
    Now copy your 'backed up' files from the PC onto the media card and you should be good.
    If none of these operations are successful, you may have a damaged media card and need a replacement.
    Good luck.

  • My Media Card keeps Rebooting my BB Curve 8320

    I recently got a replacement bb Curve 8320.  I had a media card in my old phone and when I put it in my new phone it kept rebooting my cell phone every 1-2 minutes.  I went and bought a 4GB Media Card, had the guy at T-Mobile Format it and then went home and placed all of the photos, videos, music and purchased ring tones from my old media card to my new one.  When I placed the new Media Card into my phone it keeps doing the same thing.  I get the hour glass and then the phone reboots over and over again.  Someone please help!!!!  The phone has been wiped out and all applications have been updated, so I am not sure why this is happening.
    Very FRUSTRATED!,
    Thanks,
    Jes

    its also best when installing the 4.5 software to your BB, that the media card is removed from the BB during the installation. It has been known to cause these problems. Once the software has been fully reinstalled, you can then reinsert the card.
    If your card was in for a previous installtion, best to format the card within the BB again.
    babylabes
    In my very first post I gave you directions on how to locate the exact version installed on your BB. It is very useful information to be able to help you. Also why do you plug the card into your PC to put files on it, you can plug your BB into your PC and transfer them to it that way. and in your case I would follow the instructions of making sure the .dat files are not being copied over, and make sure you dont have anything that is not media content. something you are transferring is corrupted. dont copy the folders over. Copy content in the folder to the new empty folder on the BB. (reformat while in the BB first so you have the folders)

  • Media card issues

    I have had my Blackberry Pearl for some time and have been very impressed with it however I have never been able to shoot video as when I try it gives the message 'insert media card to enable video'. There was already a media card inserted and I have purchased a new media card in case the fault was with the media card, not the phone - however it is still saying that a media card needs to be inserted to enable video shooting. I have pressed >OPTIONS.....>MEMORY and it states 'a media card is not presently inserted in the device'.....when I have tried two different media cards. Any ideas ??? x

    Then try to format it from another device than your Pearl.

  • Pictures from media card not showing up

    i've had my Q5 for almost a year now and i've had this problem before and i guess it had just fixed itself in the past, but this time i'm frustratred and have decided to inquire about solutions!
    basically what happens is i take pictures like normal and then when i go into the pictures application they're not there. so i tried restarting my phone; now the only pictures that show up are things that i've screenshotted. NONE of the pictures that i've ever taken are showing up. the pictures that i've taken are all stored on my sd card. before you even ask, YES! my sd card is still in my phone.
    i guess i figured that when i restarted my phone it would do that thing where the pictures all have to be transferred from the media card to the phone or whatever that thing is.. but it's just not doing that! i've restarted my phone a few times over the last couple days and nothing seems to be working
    i hope that SOMEONE can even remotely understand what i'm trying to say & i hope that this problem can be simply fixed! thank you

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here are several tests for you to try:
    Use your media card directly on a computer (via an SD card reader).
    Use your media card in an identical BB that has no issues.
    Use an already formatted media card from a different BB on your BB.
    The results of these tests will tell you if it is your media card or the media card reader on your BB that is the source of the problem.
    Good luck!
