  • N95(not 8G) KEEPS ASKING TO REMOVE MEMORY CARD

    I bought my N95(not 8G) about 4 months ago(second hand) and about 2 months after I bought it I started getting a message saying ,please remove memory card and press ok.
      It didn't come with a memory card so I fitted one from my old Nokia 6110(1gig) .Anyway I reloaded the N95 software from the nokia website,and this fixed my hassel for about a month,and now the ""remove memory card and press ok"" is back again.
     Also I can access everything on the card with no problems till this happens,then I have to switch the phone off and restart it.
           Any ideas on how to fix this problem would be appreciated
    Solved!

    found this info on another part of this forum,does it work ???  and as I don't have the original card what can I do ???
    This is a common issue...here how I upgraded my n95 to 8 gig
    insert 8gig sd card into usb reader(thumb drive attachment comes with sandisk 8 gig)
    USE GHOST (disk image software)
    make a disk image of old sd card
    insert 8 gig sd card
    restore image to 8 gig and select the following options
    expand partition to fit drive
    and convert partition to fat32
    This works perfectly and the phone thinks its the old sd card    
    Kudos! Thanks!

    Hi nolimit966
    Although of no help in your present situation, keep this in mind for future reference although you do need a memory card reader. I have always progressed through increasingly larger Sandisk cards (not even formatting) 4,6,8 and now 16GB by just copying contents (enabling Show hidden & System files) of existing memory card to desktop of PC and back to new card without issue.

  • N78 asking to remove memory card

    Hi there, i have bought my N78 just one month ago and find it amazing for almost every aspect except that it has a problem with the memory card. The fist time i turned on the phone, i have no notice that the Nokia microSD 2gb memory card was inserted as there wasn't any icon in the screen. So as i removed it and put it back in, the card was recognized but after a while the phone showed me a message asking to "remove memory card and press ok".
    I replaced the original Nokia card with a Sandisk card and still have the same problem, which is quite annoying because it is a brand new phone and i can't count with the memory card to store any information because after a while the card icon dissapears of the screen and it is like i have no memory card inserted in the phone.
    Any clue?? Thank you

    There were a few similar issues with cards in other phones in the past - I thought Nokia had ironed these out, but maybe with the N78 still being quite new ..
    I guess the most common issue was that the card wasn't formatted correctly. The way around is to format the card in the phone.
    Another issue was that the firmware wasn't designed to work with larger volume cards. I'd be very surprised if this was the issue as 2GB cards have been around for ages, however it might be worth checking if you have the latest firmware. To do this you need to use the "Update phone software" option in PC Suite. This will install a newer version of the firmware is there is one available.
    If neither of these helps, I guess you could try a factory reset. Not sure how that would help, but you never know.
    NB: be sure and backup (and preferably synch) your phone before you attempt to update firmware or reset the phone as both of these erase everything in phone memory.
    Have to say, the N78 I used didn't have any problems with it's 2GB card. It was SIM-free, though and SIM-free phones tend to be a lot less problem-prone than network-specific phones.

  • Turn off phone before removing memory card N95

    i have removed the memory card many times to plug into the computer. but last time i did it, i plugged it into the computer and it told be it needed formatting. I tried putting it back into the phone and everything had gone!
    This is just advice so you dont have to go through the same problem. Ever since i have turned the phone off first and i also click on eject before removing the card from the computer, everything has been fine so far.

    that's a good advice, since the PC have a feature that says you can safely remove the mem card/usb flash!
    removing w/o this procedure can corrupt directory of mem card.
    Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
    If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

  • 5800 self remove memory card

    Hi, i am facing a problem where memory card (8gb) are self removed randomly. It had to be remove from phone and insert back to be detected again or sometime just simply restart the phone to make it work again. It's quite hard to point out the problem to nokia care because the problem occured is unpredicted. Plz advice.
    firmware v20
    RM 356

    try another memory card and see if you experience similar issues. you might have programs that are corrupted and hence make it impossible to use the card correctly, the card itself might be corrupted. you might want to also consider reformating your card. make sure you back up all your data.

  • N95 16 GB micro sdhc memory card

    Hiya, Can I use the 16GB memory card in my N95??. The Nokia site shows I can uses the 8GB but the N95 is not listed for the 16GB. Also, What does the hc bit mean as all the memory cards before the 8GB only say sd and after they say sdhc
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The N95 should work with a 16GB card. The N82 and a few other do. As long as the card is of a well-known brand and bought from a reputable store, you shouldn't have any problems.
    The "HC" bit stands for "Hich Capacity". All microSD cards of 4GB and greater are SDHC cards.

  • N95 with more ca[acity memory cards?

    Iam a user of N95-1 which after the new firmware V.20 is better but still has some bugs in the keypad sometimes, but with a good general performance including battery life. I need more space, all of us who experience the satisfaction of having complete movies and over 200 songs with a 2GB card know the feeling..so would new memory cards of 4 or 8GB cards make the phone work properly or would it be slow or make it crash?
    Should I move on to N95 8GB or not? What would you do?

    Hi panpara6
    After filling a 6Gb microSDHC on N95-1, I was able to transfer it straight across to a N82 which saved a lot of hassle.

  • Removing memory card (Micro SD) from Nokia 6700 sl...

    I recently purchased a new Nokia 6700 slide.
    I am having problems with removing the Micro SD card that came with the phone.
    I tried pressing in the card as with many phones, and although the card does push back, it only comes out to its original postion.
    Also, I cannot take it out by simply grabbing it with my fingers.
    How am I supposed to take the Micro SD card out?
    Thank you very much.

    I had a probable similar case with an earlier phone I had. The memory card seemed stuck and I couldn't get it out. I found a forceps which became my new best friend in getting the card out.
    Not that you have to be careful with the forceps if youre going to use on. Don't damage anything.
    If there's clearly a problem with your specific device, and it doesn't seem like it will become better after some wear and tear, you might just take it back to the store, or to a Nokia care point.

  • Lost SMS from N95 which were stored on memory card...

    Hi,
    I have lost SMS from N95. I had deleted the files from the "private" folder from the memory card. When I restarted the mobile all the SMS were lost. I have copied the deleted files back to the "Private" folder and restarted the mobile and still the SMS are not seen.
    Please advise the way to get back the SMS...
    Thanks in advance.

    the only files found by the music player are a selection of very small (~20KB) audio clips stored on the phone memory!
    when I received the phone, I backed up my N70 and transferred all the information onto the N95 using PC suite. would this have anything to do with the music player not functioning properly?
    having searched this forum, it seems a few other users have had similar problems, which appear to have been fixed when they changed the file format of the audio, or put it in a different directory. I have tried the fixes mentioned in these threads but still the music player doesn't recognise anything...

  • Approved method of removing memory card from reader

    In the past, I have just removed the memory card from the reader when I was finished with it, but I have since read that that is not good practice. The method mentioned in my book is "Click the tiny Eject button next to the card's name in the Source list, and then remove the card from the reader". The problem with that is that I have no such Eject button in my Source list, and no card name appears there, either. First of all, is it wrong to just remove the memory card without any preliminaries? Second, what do you do when there is no Eject button and no card name?

    <but there is a link reading "CANON,,,DC>
    what do you mean by "link"?
    <....icons for 12 files appears>
    are the 12 files =12photos or 12 folders?
    if you see the photos, (usually DSC000143.jpg or similar) then create an empty folder on the desktop and drag & drop theses 12 photos on the empty folder. And that's it you now have uploaded the pics from card to computer.
    Eject the card reader, drag to trash.
    Then you can launch iPhoto.
    Drag & drop that empty folder over iPhoto et vloia all your pics are imported to iPhoto.
    You can now delete the empty folder to the trash.
    or it's up to you where you want to put them. In iPhoto or anywhere else.
    and that's it!

  • RE: N95-8GB Slider

    Hello Everyone,
    A couple of weeks ago I bought a Nokia N95-8GB mobile phone, however I have come to notice a 'problem,' as such, with the slider.
    When I slide the mobile phone to use the keypad, it seems that there is a slight inbalance, when I use the keys such as accept a call and reject a call.
    The left-hand side, where the green call button is, feels really sturdy, however when you press any of the buttons on the right-hand side, such as the red call button, the mobile phone bounces up and down a bit and it feels a little insecure, compared to the other side of the mobile phone.
    I know that there was this problem with the first version of the first N95, however does the N95 8GB version also have this problem, but to a smaller extent? Or is it simply the way in which Nokia creates the sliders?
    Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
    Stefan

    magikguy: It's a question of relativity. Since these are not high precision engineered products (at least not the mechanical slider parts), so it is normal to have some "play" in them. Your description does make the problem sound serious that some of us would consider it a defect. But perhaps you had too high expectations of the perfectness of the sliding mechanism.
    Have you ever used other slider phones? Perhaps that would give you an idea of what is "norm".
    If you are not sure and it bothers you enough, no harm to take it to Nokia Care or from where you purchased the handset to enquire.

  • N95 8GB - Slider Keypad

    There's no built in way of doing this.
    There is some third party software that does it though - I've been using it for a while now, as has my mate with his N85 8Gb:
