N97 memory card
I just got a ne n97. I put my old little memory card from my old phone (nokia navigator) into my n97 but no data i.e messages, photos, contacts seem to be transfered over?
Normally, contacts are saved into the phone, not the memory card, for any phone. messages also are saved into the phone unless you tweak the settings. Default storage for photos is also the phone, not the memory card unless you specified it. So likely those things are still in your old phone.

Hi all, I have the latest firmware installed on my N97, but after the latest upgrade (clean install was done, mass mem refromatted, hard reset, etc') On checking over the phone I started getting messages that the Mass mem' was full (rubbish) I eventually traced it to my 8 gig mem' card, cos after this was removed the phone worked perfectly again, I tried reformatting the card via the pc , same problem when the card was put back in, tried a brand new card , same problem, lastly tried a known working 4 gig mem' card, same problem???? anyone have ANY idea whats happening here? and how to fix this???
Regards to all..........I forgot to say that I get the message thet the memory card is corrupt but it is not, as I have tried 3 different cards (working ok ijn other phones) all reformatted to fat 32 and each time a card is inserted the phone slows down and displays the message that mass mem' is full and on checking the card I get "card is corruupt" message!

Hi all, I have the latest firmware installed on my N97, but after the latest upgrade (clean install was done, mass mem refromatted, hard reset, etc') On checking over the phone I started getting messages that the Mass mem' was full (Not so) I eventually traced it to my 8 gig mem' card, (is coming up with the message that the memory card is corrupt, I have now tried 3 different mem' cards) cos after this was removed the phone worked perfectly again, I tried reformatting the card via the pc , same problem when the card was put back in, tried a brand new card , same problem, lastly tried a known working 4 gig mem' card, same problem???? anyone have ANY idea whats happening here? and how to fix this???
Regards to all..........Do you get the option to format it by following my steps above?
If you do, format it and turn off your phone. Pull out the battery for at least 5 minutes before putting it together and turning it on again.
The phone should rebuild folders on it, and hopefully everything should be fine.
If your phone still rejects your memcard by giving you error messages - it could be that the fw on your phone make it go corrupt, or there is an trouble with hardware parts.
I would try to reinstall the fw first before I do anything else. -
Music Files and Memory Card On N97 mini
I,ve own my N97 mini for about a month now, been serving me well except for this problem...
I created a folder on the E:/ drive for storing musics I transfered via PC Siute but I noticed that I can't seem to find the onces I trasfered via Bluetooth. When I open the music player and refresh, it seems some of the musics are not added to it. When I open the folder I created for musics I see the songs there but when I go back to the music player it ain't there.
What can be done?
I added an 8G memory card to my phone and it's been misbehaving. Problems ranging from slow boot up and opening of applications to this error NOT ENOUGH MEMORY PLEASE DELETE SOME DATA whenever I try to open the music player. I understand that N97 mini can take upto 16G memory card but how come 8G gives it problems?Why on EARTH are you transferring music by Bluetooth ??? Simply connect the phone to your computer by usb cable in Mass Media mode. The phone will show in 'My Computer' as an external hard drive E. Open it and your music folder will be there. Then drag and drop any music you want FROM your computer TO the 'Music' folder on your phone, safely disconnect the phone from computer, go to music player and refresh music, that's all there is to it !!

N97 mini + Ovi Player + Memory Card
Hi,
I cannot find how to transfer music with Ovi Player just inside the Memory Card "F" of the N97 mini and NOT inside the Mass Memory. How can I set the Ovi Player to do that?
ThanksHello my friend,
I wonder if you solved your problem. If so could send me instructions on how to solve.
Thanks

Thank you for understanding. -
well i've got a N97 to try out for a couple of weeks and thought setting it up would be a quick exercise but its not to be. i thought after backing up my n95, all i'd need to do is pop the memory card into the 97 and do a restore, but this didn't seem possible, it seems unable to read the card. does it need formatting so the n97 can read/write to it?
i'm just transfering all my music i have on my card to the phone via windows media player and i'm going to be here hours! (i couldn't figure out how to do it with the nokia software)!
Nexu 5The card doesn't need to be set up differently. I'm using the card out of my N95 (although admittidly I did format it to keep things nice and clean). I did notice however that the folder structure seems to be the same as on the N95.
Things don't just "restore" themselves however. Music should appear in the Music Player after refreshing your library but applications won't normally re-install themselves - hey it's S60 5th edition on the N97 anyway so not all your S60 3rd edition apps will work now.
There's a good application called "Switch". Have a look on your N95 under Tools -> Utilities.
You can use Switch to copy over all your contacts, messages calendar entries etc. which is what I did when I got my N97 - it works a treat.
If you're still having a problem with music however then try refreshing your music library from within the options in Music Player...
Good luck! -
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. -
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.

How do I install ovi maps on e: memory card not phone memory C:
One other thing you can do is to go into application manager and remove all the share location stuff that came with maps3.03 (or even try maps 3.04 beta from Nokia Beta Labs but still remove share location) this will give you a couple of meg back. And if you want to share your location use the nokia social messaging from beta labs/Ovi Store which lets you share location on posts and can be installed on E

Viewing photos from memory card (n97)
i have photos on my memory card but when i put it in my fone my photos dnt show up any ideas?
my tones on the memory card show upYou can not in iPhoto - it is NOT a photo viewer - it is a database program and ONLY works with photos that have been imported into it
Use a photo viewing program to view the photos where ever they are - preview should work if your camera mounts to the desktop - if it does not mount then you will have to import them either to iPhoto or to the desktop (use image capture) to view them at all

E-1 restoring sms saved in memory card by backup f...
Dear Sir,
yesterday at 4 pm i put my phone on silent mode and when i again had a look at it at 6 pm all my sms stored in Inbox, sent items, folders and drafts were missing.
they were all stored in memory card and NOT n phone memory.
memory card is working fine, infact all other files, pictures, music etc is there, just sms/emails are missing.
i tried restoring with backup files, now everythng can be restored but not my sms saved in the memory card.
i had a closer look and found, when i do the backup, i do it for "user files from memory card" but when i restore it, memory card data isnt restored.
please tell me the way to restore the memory card data
its really very important sir

Gaurav dagaHi Gaurav,
Have you already solved this? I am also facing the same problem and am looking for a solution! If you have already solved this, I'd appreciate if you can post it here. Thanks.
However, my phone is not the E series though, it is the N97 mini.
My messages stored in the memory card were gone after my battery went flat and when I restarted the phone, messages were stored in the phone memory. I've tried changing the storage location back to memory card but the messages are still lost! Like you, my messages are very important! I am also desperately looking for a solution to restore my messages.

Hi
Am really stumped. Everything I seem to do with this phone requires hours of trawling through forums. Am feeling like going with the flow and getting an iphone ASAP as my Nokia always seems to be such an effort... lock button now snapped off too...ahhh!
I have been trying to follow previous posts on how to manage my memory and have no "Memory reorganiser application" installation app present. I cannot find one to download on the website either. Not sure whether I have somehow deleted the app by mistake but cannot locate it anywhere that previous posts have suggested it is located.
I have latest update V 22.0.110
The file manager says the following:
C: Phone Memory (free 11.8MB)
E: Mass Memory (free 29.5GB)
F: Memory Card 2GB MicroSD (1.7GB)
Also, have cleared cache as suggested in a previous post.
Basically I want to be able to use the 29.5GB mass memory and not have to keep faffing with the minute amount available on the phone memory otherwise what is the point of having so much space.... it feels like I have bought a mansion and am living in a cardboard box at present!!!
Please help as I cannot update my Ovi Maps as there is not apparently not enough memory on my phone.
Thanks for any help and sorry about the long post/rant!Hiya,
(all of this can be found if you trawl thru old threads looking for n97 memory issues).
The N97 is still a very capable phone IF you're willing to nursemaid it a little. I'm on my 3rd year with this phone and still getting lots of use and all the functionality I want from it. You're totallly right in that this was (arguably, still is) a brilliant phone wrecked by a stupidly small amount of RAM on the C Drive. Not helped by the way that everything Nokia (and QuickOffice) insists on being installed on that tiny C Drive. If you want it to work well you'll have to be prepared to put in some time in setting it up and a little occasional maintenance to keep it that way.
Memory Reorganiser removes itself after 1 use.
If you've made a lot of changes/moved things around/installed a few new apps it might be worth rerunning to regain 1or 2 extra mb on the C drive.
If you haven't run it before, try 'Software Update' (in applications menu) it should show up as an option to download.
If you have run it before, try 'Settings>Application Mgr>Installed apps' and from the list shown hightlight 'Reorganiser Uninstaller' and uninstall that (that's the thing that uninstalls the memory reorganiser and lets software update know it's been run). Memory reorganiser will now be offered as an option the next time you run software update. This process can be repeated as many times as you need.
FIRST though I be inclined to sort out any other problem areas and use memory reorganiser as final 'polish'.
I'd be aiming for around 25 to 30 mb free on C.
1. Ideally you'd start from a reset,
2. Check your firmware is the best you can get (software update),
3. Set messages to use 'E:Mass memory' NOT C
4. Delete all the applications that you know you will never want (if you use application manager to do this it's easier to spot which ones are saved on the C Drive). Top Gear, Tetris, Guitar Hero should be the first to go.
5. DO NOT OPEN BOINGO! Create a sub-folder called trash and then move Boingo to it so that you never open it by accident!
6. Don't install QT! It takes up 13mb on the C Drive. When you're downloading Apps from OVI Store they may have a message/prompt saying 'this will involve a download of 13mb' that means it uses QT and is going to download it to your C Drive. This will condemn your n97 to the slow lane. It's a shame 'cos some of the QT stuff is very cool (especially the talking hamster!).
7. Remove OVI Maps. Then use software update to reinstall the latest version (it's getting better and better).
More detail on how to do any of the above can be found in the pool of knowledge on this forum:
/t5/Pool-of-Knowledge/bd-p/topfaq
(don't want to get told off for spamming because I'm repeating too much of what's already out there!)
As for on-going maintenance, just remember to turn it off once a week!
All of that will take time, from memory it was about an hour and a half last time I did it. But the end result will be a phone that _can_ do more than the Iphone4. The N97 doesn't like live updates on the homescreen - things like facebook/Accuweather will either be unreliable or will cause the phone to stall. The interface can be confusing for the simple minded. And the phone will pause for thought every once in a while. Oh, and the Iphone is generally considered to be prettier.
In 'my phone is better than yours' conversations the list of things that the N97 can do will easily beat the Iphone tho. If I feel that the Iphone owner might be thinking they're winning I just flip it open and shut a couple of times and then start typing on the excellent keyboard. -
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 ?

How can I get Verizon to return my memory card- There screw up
After screaming about 1x a week with this new pre-paid SAMSUNG phone, I finally was able to get the store to take the phone and replace it. Sadly, I was so frustrated with Verizon for my phone never working, and getting the run around, that I was glad to get the "we will get you a new one".
Wasn't happy that they can't just give me a new one off the wall. (that would be 50 bucks please. (phone was 30 days old).
SO, The guy behind the counter advised me, I would get a new one. Took battery, I asked if things were backed up, and he said "yes", the backup synch was set up. "like OK".
So, removed battery and the lid, and the case I bought for it, took my old phone and said wait for new one. (came in today).
I didn't even think of getting my 8GB memory card from the old phone at the time I left the store.
This was 3 days ago (26th of Dec). Today, my new phone came in, it was not synching, not doing the backup right, and then I realized my memory card was not there.
Nicely called the help desk thinking I was calling the store where i returned the phone. NOPE, got tech support in a different state after 14 minutes of listening to switch witch and running around with button pushing. Just to be told "contact the store diectly".
Headed to store, advised of what happened, and the cheerful guy with hte IPAD, typing your name, pretty much said " to bad". It's goneft
No help. Just me trying to stay calm, after the head-aches with this phone. And now I am out an 8GB memory card, that Verizon, in their haste, never took time to remove (but did the battery), and I forgot to remove it myself.
Now, I want Verizon to replace the memory card. Their phone was bad, every week complained about this phone, and in 30 days, I now had to get it replaced.
I take error in not remembering to get it. BUT, figured the techs behind the scenes would have thought of this.
Anyone know of whom I can contact to ask VZN for a new card? I lost some vital pics and info from my realtor, and have to bite that, but this wouldn't have happened, if I could have gotten some satisfactory service, and I still ended up 3 days without a phone.I admit, I did screw up for not checking. I was just soo steamed with the customer support and going back and forth with phone and offices in Charleston, SC and here in VA, I was just getting frustrated with this phone that i had for 1 week, and couple with the craziness of the hustle trafflc of customers during the holidays.
Just a lot of crazy here, but my new phone is in, I had to get the service center to reset things, as the backup synch wasn't right, and I will get a new card.
I just wanted a new phone that worked, and oversaw the issues. This isn't the first time I had to return a phone, but last time, it was a slower pace, and no issues, and I reminded myself to get the card out.
Got 99% of my contacts. Just wishing there was somehow to track the phone, and have hope, but it was nothing that was life critical.. And cost of new cars is cheap.
Chalk up to "pay attention".... but oh, the frustration of 6 visits to the stores in 32 days I had that phone. Ahh!
Happy New Year, and thanks for the replies.... -
