Memory Card Not Accessible

I have been using a 1GB Micro SD Card from Kingston on my Nokia 5200 phone for last about 5 months and suddenly the card became inaccessible and no longer show up in Gallery on anywhere else. I checked the Card on another phone and all the files are accessible there. I checked the card on my PC using the Host Adaptor and all the files are accessible there also. So, seems like there is nothing wrong with the Memory Card. The Phone although working without any other problem suddenly has stopped dectecting the memory card. Can anyone suggest, what can be the reasons and anything I can try before finally taking it to Nokia Service Center for repair.

I've been having the same problem too with my 2gb card for my N73.
I haven't updated any software or anything as 3 keep telling me i have the latest version.
I have had the card since i got the phone in April, and all was ok until a couple of months ago.
I just keep getting the message 'Unsafe to remove Memory Card without selecting remove Memory card'It happens at random times, mostly when i unlock the keypad, but sometimes it will just happen on it's own!
Someone please help, i think i'm going crazy!!!

New Zen trouble adding a memory card (not seen)?

0New Zen trouble adding a memory card (not seen)?8I have a new zen 4gb unit and love it, saw it has a memory card slot so i stuck an 8gb sdhc sandisk 3 extreme memory card in there, figured I could dump more fun stuff in there on it but when i use the zen explorer i don't see that card.
I formatted the sdhc card in fat 32 and named it sd4zen yet when its in the zen and i check my computer I am not seeing the card in the windows menus to drag stuff over onto for the zen nor is it showing in any of the zen media explorer areas.
Do i need to dump stuff onto the memory card externally (thru a card reader first) then insert it and access that thru the memory part of the zen menu, or are the zens not able to read from an sdhc sd card or is 8 gb too big (compatability)?
Thanks for any help on this,
Bill

I am a dork, a few mins messing with it i realized in the main menu of the zen with the card inserted hit removable disk and hook up via usb, now my computer sees the sd4zen dri've and i can dump more fun stuff for zen on there...
Sorry to take up space maybe someone will read this and help them with the same issue i was having or mods if you choose just delete.

N97 Memory in use and memory card not present issu...

Hello,
I bought my Nokia N97 2 weeks ago from your website. I switched my old phone data over to the new one, transfer few document, music onto the new phone from my PC and updated software last week. It worked for up until now but yesterday I all of a sudden
- while I was playing music got a message saying files have been corrupted, it stopped playing music and deleted all documents from the E drive.
- I went into the file manager but I could not access my E: Mass Storage drive anymore (from file manager) as it says 'memory in use'.
- I connected the phone through USB cable to my PC, select PC suite on my phone but I got a message on the phone screen which said "Memory card not present (USB card may not work as expected)"even though I used it last week. However, while USB is connected, I could see the 'Phone Browser' on my explorer on my PC but no mass storage
- I have restarted several times, took the battery in and out and tried but no luck.
- I did a hard reset on the phone (*#7370#), it reset everything but no luck on the E: Mass Storage as it still says 'memory not in use'
- I tried software update, it refreshes the list and does not update anything when I click on it.
- I went to Nokia Care Centre and they failed to fix the issue (after doing a reboot) and asked me to send the faulty phone back.
I bought the phone from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk - when I called them, they were quite hostile and asked me to email ([email protected]). I emailed but the response time is apparently 5 days. The guy on the phone tells me since the phone is 7 days older they cannot replace it. I called the insurance guys, they said because it is a manufacturer issue its not covered by the insurance. I called the repair centre recommended by mobilephonesdirect, they said if nokia care centre cannot repair it, there is no point in sending in the phone.
Now what do I do? Does anyone know how to fix this "memory not present" issue?

Hi mate, Not sure how to fix the problem ,but you have the right for this to be sorted.
I take it you bought it from a website or over phone,this is classed as distance selling, That means you are entitled to 7 days "cooling off period" in which you can return the product no questions asked. I think this is where they are getting there 7 days from. It has nothing to do with faulty goods. If the goods are faulty it breached the "Sales of Goods act 1979" as the goods should be fit for purpose which yours is not.
The Sale of Goods Act makes reference to ‘the seller’, this is the shop, the retailer, or the individual you bought it from, and is who you made the contract with. It is not the manufacturer, and don’t let the shop tell you otherwise! If there is an obvious fault with the item at any time within the first 6 months and it has not been caused by wear and tear or misuse, your first port of call must be the shop you bought it from. They have the responsibility to put the matter right, and should not evade this responsibility by referring you to the manufacturer in the context of a guarantee or warranty. Even after this 6 month period, if the item breaks down prematurely , you should always go back to the shop or retailer in the first instance.
Your statutory rights under the Sale of Goods Act take precedence over and above any warranty or guarantee you may have with either the retailer or manufacturer. It is misleading for a shop to tell you they can do nothing simply because their warranty or guarantee has run out, because you will still have your statutory rights.
I have an n97 and my key lock slider just came off. I had to argue untill I was blue in the face that it is a fault and not over use (its the most pressed key on the phone) Finally they sent it off for repair for me.
Hope all this helps a little. There is more info on many websites on Sales of goods act which may also help you.

HELP! - Lumia 800 memory card not working :/

My phone decided to go into the notorious restart loop - So following everyones advice on teh internet I performed a hard reset.
It loads the orange sign - then the Nokia sign - then the windows mobile sign as if the phone is about to start with the noises etc... then it decides to goto a screen says
"MEMORY CARD NOT WORKING
Your memory card has changed, is damaged or is non-compatible.
To fix this, turn your phone off and either remove the memory card or replace it with a new compatible card. Then reset your phone to the original factory settings.
To learn how to reset your phone, refer to the owner's manual"
I also get the option to make an "emergency" call or "turn off" the phone. the volume buttons also work the volume fine aswell as the option to change the phones mode from silent to vibrate or vibrate and ring.
Tried hard reset numerous times, tried charing the phone for hours on end and trying it, tried soft resets. Basically the only options i've found.
Just to add.... Why would a phone with no memory card slot even have a message stating that the memory card is faulty and that i could even remove or replace it???
I hope someone manages to help me without having to cough up £50 excess to my insurance.
Anyone come across this before?

Sorry, it's my standard response, but your phone doesn't work. Take it back to whoever sold it to you. It's a consumer good, consumer protection rules apply.
Your problem certainly has novelty value but if you've done the hard reset and it didn't work you're at the end of the fix it yourself stage.

SMS in memory card not getting opened?

Hello,
I've nokia 5800z
It was fine just an hour before.
Now I'm unable to open any SMS in memory card, I can just see in inbox but can't open individual SMS.
I tried to remove & reinsert memory card, switch off & on phone but nothing worked.
Firmware is also latest so can't update further.
Apart from this, everything is fine. Even SMS on phone memory can be opened fine.
Any solution except formatting memory card?
Thx.

I used RowMatch() once before and worked for me.
here is an example from developer guide. It worths a try by you.
good luck
Example 42-14 Performing In-Memory Filtering with RowMatch
// In TestClientRowMatch.java
// 1. Query the full customer list
ViewObject vo = am.findViewObject("CustomerList");
vo.executeQuery();
showRows(vo,"Initial database results");
// 2. Mark odd-numbered rows selected by setting Selected = Boolean.TRUE
markOddRowsAsSelected(vo);
showRows(vo,"After marking odd rows selected");
// 3. Use a RowMatch to subset row set to only those with Selected = true
RowMatch rm = new RowMatch("Selected = true");
vo.setRowMatch(rm);
// Note: Only need to set SQL mode when not defined at design time
vo.setQueryMode(ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_VIEW_ROWS);
vo.executeQuery();
showRows(vo, "After in-memory filtering on only selected rows");
// 5. Further subset rowset using more complicated RowMatch expression
rm = new RowMatch("LastName = 'Popp' "+
"or (FirstName like 'A%' and LastName like 'K%')");
vo.setRowMatch(rm);
vo.executeQuery();
showRows(vo,"After in-memory filtering with more complex expression");
// 5. Remove RowMatch, set query mode back to database, requery to see full list
vo.setRowMatch(null);
vo.setQueryMode(ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_DATABASE_TABLES);
vo.executeQuery();
showRows(vo,"After re-querying to see a full list again");

External memory card not working on 6500

i have a nokia 6500 slide and i have 2 different external memory cards (one has all my ringtones,images,etc on it) and the other one has nothing on it. I have put both of these into the phone, but it is not picking any up. Even when i go to see how much memory has been used, it doesnt come up saying the memory card at all. And when i go to take a photo and to change the settings to save it, it also says nothing about a memory card.
I want the memory card and my sim card to work for when i send sms's because my phone fills up so quickly. and i hate having to delete messages after the inbox gets about 4 messages in it.

hi there candi86,
if both your memory cards are not being recognised by the phone, then this may seem like there is a problem with the phone itself. in which case, check that the memory cards are readable on your computer (using an adapter or memory card reader if you have one), and also if you have the latest firmware update for your phone (check via Nokia Software Updater, which is part of Nokia PC Suite). also, what brand is your memory cards? are they both the same brand? there have been known to be problems with cheaper/worse-reputation brands of memory cards, even kingston has been cited as having problems. but this may not be the problem here.
another consideration is that the back cover of your phone is not placed properly. the 6500 slide (much like the 5610 i have) has contacts on the back cover, which when the cover is properly on, allow the phone to recognise the memory card and refresh the music library. if these contacts are damaged, then the phone may not recognise the memory card. check if your cover is a bit loose as this may be the problem.
i hope this helps

Please help - 7373 memory card not recognised

I bought a 2GB Kingston memory card for my nokia 7373. I put photos on it from a converter in my computer, but when I put it in my 7373 it does not recognise the card. However, my friend's 7373 recognises the card and it works fine. The memory card slot on my phone does not appear broken to me. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make the card work in my phone of or what could be wrong?

if your card works on your friends phone then the mmc is fine something is wrong with your phone.it can be hardware.though it does not appear faulty from outside but there are filters which might have got spoilt and therefore it is better to visit to NSC.
tongue is too confused on what to speak

Applications on Memory Card not working after Firm...

I have an N73 that I back up regularly, including the memory card.
My PC suite informed me that there was a newer version of firmware for my phone so I decided to upgrade.
I did a complete backup of my phone and card and then did the upgrade.
I then did a restore from the backup to get all my contact etc back again.
All applications that were loaded on my phone are working but none of the applications on the card will start.
Anyone got an ideas on how I can get them working again? Preferably without having to re-load as that will mean I will have to buy them again.

juz go to application manager. in it, u can see the applications u have installed previously are stating uninstalled. juz install them once again, n they will retrieve.

Blackberry Curve 9300 - "memory card not inserted"

Hi, I've seen this topic on here already but none of the things you mentioned actually worked for me. my blackberry is brand new this morning (22/10/2011) so there is no way it could have been damaged... i took the memory card out of my blackberry storm and put it in this one, and it didnt work, so i put the one i got with this phone in and that didnt work either. any ideas would be amazing?

Well, for starters, make CERTAIN the card is inserted correctly... so the contacts touch as intended.
That might sound silly, but believe, I've seen users put media cards in all different wrong ways.

Shared Memory Areas not accessible in background processing

Hi there
We're using Shared Memory Areas to share data between an on-line transaction and a background program. The on-line transaction collects the data, creates the Shared Memory Area and submits a background job to process it. So, after the detach_commit, it performs submit program via job_name xxxx number nnnn.
It works OK in our dev and quality systems, but does not work in our production system. The memory area is created OK, but the job cannot access it. In the background program, we get the message:
"The read lock on the instance 'ZNNNNNNN' in the client '100' of the shared objects memory area 'ZCL_XXX' cannot be set, since there is no active version of this area instance. However, the area constructor for the automatic construction of the area instance was started."
On the SMA side, we've tried seemingly every combination, even "propagate_instance".
The job seems to be running on the same application server as the SMA.
Any ideas about what we're doing wrong, anyone?
Thanks
Ged

Hello Ged,
Please remember that SHM is accessible across one App Server(AS) only.
If your SAP landscape has multiple AS's then it might pose a problem. When you're scheduling the background job, i guess that the Bgd work process is started in a different AS(load balancing ) and hence SHM is no accessible.
If this is the case, then you've no other option but to store the data persistently in DB clusters viz., INDX-type tables (EXPORT TO/IMPORT FROM DATABASE).
BR,
Suhas

Power based Profile or Losing sight of the Memory Card

When my Blackberry 8310 is plugged into its USB cable and I've put the password in to enable the 'memory stick' it operates a different sound profile. ie, the ringtone used for phone and text notification changes.
I think it is something to do with whether the Balckberry OS can or cannot see the memory card but I've not been able to determine the exact rules. It seems to lose site of the ring tones on the memory card when enabled so uses a ring tone other than the one I've set.
I've looked for user instructions or further guidance without any luck so thought I would post on this forum to see what expereince others had.
Regards

when your device is used as a memory card reader, the memory card is accessible by your PC only.
=> your device can't access what is on the card.
if you want to keep the ringtones while connected as USB, copy them to the internal memory of your device.
