Memory Card problem of a different sort. N81

So I got my new N81, was really happy with the phone. I tried putting a password on my memory card, no problems. Then when I tried to unlock it again with that same password it kept telling me Incorrect Password. I know I didn't make a mistake typing it in because you have to confirm it a second time when you create it. So eventually I give up and format it, seeing as that is the only way to get the password off. Now i have formatted lost all my data and it still asks me for a password, even after the format. I've formatted about 6times now. It works for 30seconds and then automatically locks itself again with a password. I've also reset my phone to factory defaults and still had the same problem. Can anyone suggest anything that might help?

EXACT same thing has happened to me. But i can actually unlock the memory card for file transfers, viewing contents that sort of thing..... but when i try to change or remove the password altogether it tells me ' incorrect password' try again. Really frustrating as i have alot of music stored on the phone for the second time now as i have already formatted it once also with no password success. If you have any success please let me know.If i find somethin that works ill post it here.

  • N81 memory card problem

    ok so here is the gig:
    i formatted my memory card the other day and updated everything again but now when i plug it into my computer and have it on data transfer mode and open my computer it says memory card instead of what it used to say which was n81 device or something and when i open it it only has 4 folders instead of the old 12 or so...
    now i dont really mind this except i cant put music on my n81 through pc suit because it automatically saves it to my phone memory which we all know is tiny on the n81 devices so this is what i need:
    either 1) or 2)
    1) being: how do i get my memory card to its brand new status like it was before i formatted it
    or 2) being: tell me how to save music to my memory card not my phone through pc suit.
    thanking you in advanced; Corey
    (note i have the n81 not the 8 gig)

    in PC suite mode just copy and paste the music files in desired folder of memory card. and if this doesn't work then try formatting ur memory card again preferably first through a memory card reader in computer then in the phone.

  • 5320 memory card problem. Help!

    I bought my 5230 a couple of months ago and everything was fine. However it has suddenly stopped allowing me to save anything to the memory card. It reads whats already on there, so I can access music and photos etc, that are already on the memory card, but if I try and bluetooth a song to my phone for example, it won't let me do it saying there isn't enough memory, even though I have over 1gb still on my card. It wants to save everything to the phone memory, which obviously there isn't much of. 
    I formatted the card and even now it's totally empty I still can't save anything to it. I also can't download any apps from Ovi because of not having enough space (alledgedly!)
    Any ideas how to sort it out? 

    Just to add, I have tried different memory cards and it's the same, so it definitely the phone and not the card. 

  • Nokia 8gb memory card problem ( semi-empty )

    just had a 5800 two weeks ago with a memory card 8gb, it already had some music but i add my own and other stuff and it was cool, i do this by removing the card from the device and put it in a memory card reader and into the usb, one day which is today, i did this to manage some stuff then what happened, the usb connection was last and back again in one second, so i changed te usb port and put it in another one, then what i found is there is nothing, all files and folders gone, there is only one big dump file has the size of 4gb (the size of all the things that should be), 4gb in one file that has no type or any thing its just a file with 4gb which is the size of the music and videos and the stuff that was in the card, so that means that the files supposed to be in the memory card but its stuck in one file, so whats going one i mean, thats it? all files are gone? and what is that big file? even if i give up the memory card will only have 4gb left cuz the file cannot be deleted or moved, by the way the file name is weird but this is the name: USBC╨†┘à.
    thnx for reading, by the way, the files that was in the memory were very important to me, i spent alot of days collecting those stuff and there are other things such as photos and stuff that i will never had if the memory is gone, when i found out nothing in the memory i lost consciousness for about an hour on the floor.
    waiting for replys

    Hi ,i just encountered this problem while moving files ,all files
    lost except the USBC file from SDHC card.so i ran several recovery
    soft. .nothing works.i have successfully recovered those files .
    use memory card reader.open command prompt,change to that
    drive .use chkdsk /f first .then chkdsk /r.if chkdsk /r ran
    properly (in my case i got read error first ,trying second time it
    shows the progress),it will show chkdsk found no error.
    it will show how much space is taken in how many files and folders
    and how much space is free.in may case it was 615 mb in 136
    recoverable files.yours may be different.in the SDHC there was a
    single file named USBC.Choose option show hidden folders AND show
    system files in explorer menu.there will be a directory named
    "FOUND.000" like that.there will be files that were lost inside it
    with extension CHK.
    in my case i changed their ext. to JPG.i got my files.but
    in your case these files should be renamed according to their
    original name & ext.

  • Memory card problems please help!

    Ok I've never quite been able to figure this one out, and I figure this is the forum to come to to try and fix it. I have a Canon photo printer with memory card slots I've been using for a while now as a stand alone. Now that I have my iMac I decided to hook it up but here's the problem. When I try to delete selected pictures from a memory card I can't because it's read-only, and I can't change it to read-write. If fact when I connected my camera to my old Windows PC I couldn't do this either. iPhoto asks me after the import if I want to blank out the memory card, but I want to keep certain photos on the card. I just want to go in and delete files like any other USB drive. I tried "Get Info" but there is no way there to change to read-write. This is more of a problem with the memory cards than my printer or iPhoto, but if anyone knows a way around this I'd really appreciate it.

    ... also I've checked the little write-protect tabs, I have 2 SD cards and both are not set to lock and neither lets me A. delete anything or B. put any files back onto them. In my experience it seems that on both Mac and PC they have tried to over-simplify the process of managing digital photos by forcing you to use applications rather than learn simple file management(i.e. cut, copy and paste). I don't know why photos have to be different from every other file type. If I put in my Memory Stick Duo in my PSP and connect with USB I can delete and move whatever I want just like I've always been able to, even photos. It seems that as soon as an SD memory card comes in contact with a camera(mine's a Canon PowerShot) the only way to put anything onto it is to take a picture. Again if anyone knows how to change photo memory cards to read-write status it would be fantastic.

  • 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

  • N82 Camera & Memory Card Problem

    Hello! After two months of careful operation and having the following problem: when you open the shutter of the camera, blinking charging indicator flashes, then a message "unexpected error occurred. Restart the device." Then, the phone does not "see" the memory card (included with delivery). Additional software is not installed. Resetting factory settings did. Memory card in other phones, Nokia tried it - everything is in order. Please define the problem. According to rumors, this is a common problem with this phone. Sin in the xenon flash. With the patience of waiting for a response.

    Do a nuclear reset then:
    Hold Green button + 3 + *
    Turn on the phone
    Keep on holding the 3 buttons until the shake hands appear.
    Choose your region and that should be done. Your lock code is now should be 12345

    Please Kudos! me. To show your Appreciation

  • N82 memory card problem

    Hey guys had my phone since 5th of Jan, has been fine no problems.
    Last night I changed where to store my sent messages to the memory card instead of on the phone.
    After I sent my first message it asked me to remove the memory card and press ok. I thought this was a bit strange but as it wouldn't let me do anything else I did as I was told.
    I replaced the memory card and it carried on working. Now every so often even if the phones keylocked and nothing running it pops up and asks me to remove the memory card. If I leave it and don't remove the card the message goes away.
    This might only be slightly annoying but I have had nokias with software faults before and they start off as annoying and then become serious.
    Any advice?

    No... I should of said the phone changed it back to "store on phone" when it tried to store it on the card and couldn't do.
    So now even when I'm not trying to access the card for any purpose it pops up.
    For example. Left phone on keys locked over night, woke up and checked phone and as soon as I unlocked the keypad the message came up.
    Also when trying out the n-gage demos which as far as I know have nothing to do with the memory card it closed the demo and asked me to remove the card.

  • Nokia 6500 Memory card problem

    When i try to open my mem card it says Memory Card not formatted; Format mem card ?
    after i press yes it says Operation Failed.i tried my mem card on other phone and it worked i also tried other mem card on my phone and i got the same problem... So it's the phone problem
    Anyone can help me ?

    Well, If there are any updates available for your device (look here: http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update), there could be a slight chance it would work. At least you could try before taking it to a Nokia carepoint. - You could always try to set it back to factory settings too, but I doubt it will be fixed.

  • 6230i memory card problem

    I've recently resurrected my old 6230i and begun using it again. However in doing so I've come across a wee problem.....
    The big memory card that was supplied with the phone and hidden beneath the battery is only 32Mb - hardly sufficient to use the MP3 Player to any great deal. Looking at it I asserted that it was an SD type card and I went and bought myself a 4Gb one to fit in place of the measly 32Mb effort. Imagine my annoyance when, after buying the new memory card I couldn't get it to fit - it's just slightly too thick. On closer inspection I noted that the card I've bought is actually an SDHC card - but surely that shouldn't make any odds? Would it? Do I need to buy a stricly SD card, without the wee HC ad endum? Or, do I need to buy a smaller capacity memory card, possibly a 1Gb or 2Gb, in the hope that it's of equal thickness to the 32Mb one? Or, knowing my luck, am I just doomed not to get a memory card that fits because in actual fact there isn't one, because Nokia have played a huge trick on the unsuspecting 6230i purchasers????
    I await your wisdom dear forum members.
    ps......I humbly apologise if this question has already been asked countless times before!!!
    Kind Regards,
    Paul-D. 

    The slot in the phone is for an MMC card. It may look like an SD card but not quite the same. Please do check with the card manufacturer for compatibility before buying. The phone is very old and may have compatibility issues with the higher capacity cards nowadays.

  • Weird Memory Card Problem (E70)

    i've just bought nokia E70 a week ago... along with 2 GB minisd card... but within "heavy" use of the phone (installing software/theme, video recording, using camera)... the memory card will get corrupted (lost of data, lost of directory structure)... e.g.: 1. Video folder when browse with file manager in nokia E70, got a question mark icon, and cannot be opened... 2. Files is lost in some directory 3. after error, can't copy file into the memory card i've tried formatting the card from the phone and computer using FAT/FAT32, both work well before "heavy" use... but after a while the problem keep occurring... i already check the memory card, copying almost 2GB of data, comparing, checking/scanning the card without problem (when checked with computer)... and always get problem when tried with the phone.... anyone got the same problem? or any suggestion on what should be done? the phone fw version is: 2.0618.07.10 (31-08-06, RM-10) thanks

    Hi,
    I have also problems with one of my MiniSD card, the bundled 64MB card works fine but my other Kingston 2GB card does get corrupted. I first thought it was a faulty card so I got another Kingston card as replacement but that works as bad as the first one. Problem is simply that the card gets corrupted. I have also verified this in my colleagues phone (we hoth have a E70 with 2.0618.07.10 firmware) and he has same problems as I do.

  • E 72 memory card problem

    I just got a E 72 on contract europian version,
    The phone was supplied with 4 GB memory card but acording to file manager it is full only 929 mb is free space, event this does not actually having more than a few kb's of pre-installed data.
    Few of my friends they also got e 72 on contract from same provider and they also have the same problem in their handset.
    As i was reading reviews, i came to know most of the E72 users are facing same problem. what do i need to do now.

    Hi.  I just suggest delete E:\CITIES, and you will bring back almost 2GB.  It's because Nokia installed all Ovi Maps in the memory, and it uses almost 2GB.  After that, you must use Ovi Suite and install all the maps and voice guidance you will use.  In my case, I live in Venezuela and I travel sometimes to Colombia, so I just installed only the Colombia and Venezuela maps. E:\CITIES is using only 30MB.

  • N97 Mini Memory Card Problem

    I've been having a problem with my N97 Mini since installing a SanDisk 16Gb Memory Card.
    When switching on the phone it quite often reboots. It will then work fine.
    I also get 'memory full' or 'security module' errors. I can fix the issue by rebooting or ejecting the memory card in the file manager (even though I don't need to physically remove the memory card).
    If I remove the memory card it works fine and I can't reproduce the errors.
    I tried reformatting the card but it hasn't helped; even though it's blank.
    Could it be a problem with the phone hardware, the memory card or the firmware (I'm running v11 on vf uk)?

    So I've now switched to a Nokia memory card.
    It came in official Nokia packaging, however there's no markings on the memory card or included adaptor that it's made by (or for) Nokia. Having looked online I can see there are other examples of this.
    I did wonder if it was genuine!
    However it works much much better with my phone.
    The Security Module Error has completely gone, it very occasionally does the random reboot on startup, and gives a 'memory full' error, but I think this may be due to an issue with Ovi Maps and the amount of music I have on there.
    I will try (another) full reset just to make sure but otherwise the phone's now working well.

  • E60 memory card problem

    Hello everybody have a good day,
    I got an problem...
    I did a hard reset on my E60 everything went well.
    But when i now turn on the phone the phone tries to install a program at startup but fails, and tries to install again at next start up.
    When I go to the Manager applications (found under Tools) I see 1 SIS file that is not installed. Now I want to remove this file but I can't delete the SIS file in this Manager (the delete option is not present/available). Installing the SIS file wont work either it fails again.
    Next I tried to format the SD card but I get the message "Unable to format. Memory card in Use by another application"
    How do I get rid of this SIS file / installtion failure?
    Please help thanks in advantage.
    Sincerly,

    The only way that I have found to resolve this issue it to use a memory card reader on a PC. Formatting the card works but a less drastic option is to just write down the name of the "offending" file, usually some alpha-numeric.sis file. You can then search for this file name using the PC and delete just this file. I've had to do this several times and it works fine.
