NOKIA 5230 CONTACTS & MEMORY CARD QUESTIONS

Hi, I have hat may well turn out to be dumb questions. Aplogies in advance but not had the phone long.
Firstly, I have installed a new 4GB memory card, is there a way to name this? At the moment it shows as memory Card (No Name).
Secondly I have been trying to work out why all my contacts only show as mobile numbers. bellagio kindly offered me one solution which was to use the Telephone Dialler and create a new contact I would then get a menu offering the following options.
Mobile
Mobile (home)
Mobile (business)
Telephone
Telephone (home)
Telephone (business)
Car phone
Fax
Fax (home0
Fax (business)
Pager
Assistant's number
I tried that but still only had the option for Mobile Phone. I also edited some with Nokia PC Suite but although these showed the numbers correctly as either Home or Mobile they didn't show correctly on the phone.
On reading some posts I came across one about transferring contacts from SIM to phone memory. This said to go to Contacts>Settings>Contacts to display and change it to either phone memory or phone memory and SIM (multiple memories).
When I did that I got several double entries, due no doubt to my having transferred the entries from my old phone straight to phone memory before copying them to the SIM.
I have always preferred to store my contacts on the SIM so that if I change my phone, because for example it goes faulty, I have them already stored.
DONT KNOW IF THIS IS BEST PRACTICE
It would seem, unless someone can tell me otherwise, that storing contacts on SIM doesn't give the same options.
I have my phone set to announce the incoming callers name if in my contacts but I have read somewhere that having dual entries i.e phone memory and SIM can stop this working. Is this correct? In which case which is best phone memory or SIM.
Lastly I have only played around with Voice Command but not had any joy. If for example I say Camera nothing happens.Have tried a couple of other commands but all to no effect.
Any help on any of the above would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Have now edited and copied all my contacts to the phone memory and have the various options mentioned earlier.
Had a thought after that I would still have the entries on the SIM card if I copied across any new entries I create to the card. SOLVED
Tried to rename memory card but don't get the option you mention. With File manager open it shows the Chone memory and E:NO NAME but there isn't anything under Options to rename. Not a major issue as it's not affecting it's working but thought there should be a way. Can't rename either in Nokia PC Suite.
As regards Voice Command, so far I have only tried it in the privacy of my own home so shouldn't be any background noises. When you say your pronunciation should be understood by the phone what exactly do you mean. I am saying the command(s) as clearly as I can.
Thought there might have to be something turned on for it to work.

Standard Nokia Files On Memory Card

Hi I was just wondering whether there was any way of me getting the standard files that nokia put on your memory card? The reason is, is that i lost my memory card and have jsut bought a new one, which obviously doesnt come with the nokia files i need.
Cheers

I think the ony way to make it usable in your handset is to format it whilst on your device.
However, if your talking about the files you get (like sample videos) pre-loaded onto the memory card, my answer would be no, unless you know someone with the same handset who could then just make a copy of their card.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Nokia 6300: Lost memory card = Lost applications

Hi
Does anyone know if I can download the Collection software that came on the included memory card of my new 6300?
I somehow lost the microSD card and no way I'm i retracing my steps to try and find it. Ive ordered a bigger memory card but wanted to download the applications that originally came with the phone.
I've tried a few routes Nokia/Orange but no one seems to know. I'm looking to anyone out there who may have an idea.
Many thanks
Barry

I had the same problem and contacted Nokia help email,
Solution
1. Install Nokia PC suite on your PC.
2. Have original memory card with games etc on it in your phone.
3. Connect your phone by cable to your PC and select Nokia mode on your phone and File manager in PC suite.
4.Select 'memory card' in the window that appears and select all folders on the card, transfer the folders to your 'desktop' on your PC.
5. Place your new 1GB card into a usb card reader and transfer the folders from your desktop to the new card.
6. Replace the new card for the old and all should be OK, you are supposed to be-able to transfer direct from the PC to your phone but the 'Games & Collection' folders won't move !.

@alicat5
Is Mail being pushed to your device?
Although it would be a pain necessitating backup of essential data first, you could always reset device to "Out of box" state by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user).

Nokia C5-03 memory card issue

I have C5-03 for a couple of weeks only, but there's one annoying issue concerning the memory card (which came with the phone)
Sometimes (and it happens often and often) there's a message that pops up
"Can't remove memory card without selecting "remove memory card" first." In result the memory card is no longer acceptable.
At first I thought I haven't locked the touchscreen and I have accidentally pressed something. But this have happened last night, while my phone was on a shelf, and a few moments ago while it was lying on the desk next to me. I see the message after I unlock the phone. Restarting it helps, but it's not a solution.
Any suggestions?

REMOVE THAT 2GB AND GO FOR 8GB OR 16GB .
use more memory FOR LONGER USAGE THEN THERE IS NO ERRORS AGAIN I AM ALSO HAVING C5 03 and using 8GB.......
IF ANY PROBLEM CAME AGAIN IN OUR MODEL PLEASE CONTACT ME KINDLY I WILL SURE YOU BEST SOLUTION OK THANQQ...

New Nokia 3120 and memory card

Hi there.
Yasterday I upgraded my old motorola to a brand new Nokia 3120.
In my Motorola I used the "Sandisk 1GB microSD" memory card, so I tried to put it now in my new Nokia.
I followed the instructions and put it in sucessfuly (I think), but I have no idea how I define the memory card to be the
phone's main memory source.
I tried to change the camera output folder to "Memory card" but it kept changing it back to "Phone memory".
Does anyone knows what's going on here?
Thanks!

Thats fine it works on your friend's moto after inserting that same card onto your nokia device are you able to access the content in it , are you able to install applications onto that card or you are facing the problem only when using the camera application which is reluctant to save your photos onto memory card one more thing you have to find out is the device capable of storing photos on memory card from camera application(check in the user guide)
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

Nokia 5310 default memory card password?

So i had an issue with the phone freezing and restarting a lot especially when listening to music via headset. Another issue with it was that i couldn't delete text messages, everytime i tried to do a bulk delete (2000+ messages) my phone would simply hang.
So i called my provider (TMobile -USA) for support on these issues. Regarding the first one they did not know what to do, and to solve the second issues they had me do a Factory Reset (all), which cleared out my phone and for some reason also cleared out my sd card! Now i have another problem. I have a backup restore file saved on my card and i am trying to reset the setting on my phone, but when i try to open the sd card it prompts for a password. I never set a password on this phone or the memory card, ive only had this phone for about 3 weeks. Service provider appologized since they couldn't help and advised me to call Nokia...
So here i am with a bare new phone, and i lost all my information on my SD card and to make it worse NOW i cant even access it anymore! Under options on my phone i tried deleteing the password, changing it or reformating the card, but before any of those could be done it prompts me for that password and im stuck...
Somebody help... perhaps i should just take the phone back?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The problem I had with my sd card was I was sure I remembered the correct password but no matter how many times I entered it I was told it was incorrect. I then noticed that the character was changing before it would go to an asterix. Ie like texting it would go through the key options with each push. eg key number "2" would cycle through a,b,c before getting to 2.
So try re entering your password watching the characters with each button push then stopping on the numeral before letting it turn into an asterx.
It worked for me hope it does for you :-)

NOKIA N79 CANT BACKUP CONTACT DATA TO MEMORY CARD

hello,
I am not able to backup the contact data of my nokia n79 to memory card. When performing the above function the progress bar progresses for sometime goes 50 % completed and then returns to the home screen. Tried formatting the phone/MC as well as re-flashed the firmware but no use. Is there anyone having similar issue ?. FYI the phone is under warranty and there is no proper response
from the nokia centre so i have decided to repair it myself. Is there any workaround for this issue ??
Thanx in advance

My question still stands though, if you look in the directory, has it actually backed up all your contacts or not? meaning are all the *.vcf files there.
if not, which file does is the last that was created, find the equivalent in the contacts database, and check if there is something wrong/different with the next contact compared to others?
Yes, there may be an error, but at least until it is fixed you may be able to work around it.
(I presume there is plenty of space on your memory card? note that the phone has a self imposed limit to prevent memory card from being completely full, so if card is very close to full it is possible that backup utility stops)

Contacts list edits through Ovi Suite, Nokia 5230 ...

After I imported the contacts from the SIM card to the Nokia 5230 phone memory. All the names appear as Last name. I want to change this globally without having to go to each address and copy pasting the contents. If the address book were able to be imported to a .csv format, then I could just use Excel to do this manipulation. Does anyone know whether such thing can be achieved through the Ovi Suite. I tried to address this at the Nokia care. They seemed to be from Mars.
Also the contacts search in the Nokia 5230 does not follow common logic. Despite setting to show names by the first name it still shows by whatever it thinks. I have shown this to the Nokia care at Abu Dhabi where they told me that it shows the same in the phone that they have too!

Download and install the Nokia PC Suite..

You will be able to save the contacts in .csv format...

Nokia 5610 does not recognize memory card

I have acquired a Nokia 1GB microSD memory card for Nokia 5610 d-1.
But the memory card is not recognized.
In Nokia 6303 the same memory card is recognized.
I have formatted them with this mobile phone.
Nevertheless, the 5610 (v10.00) does not recognize it.
I have taken out the memory card also several times and have started again.
What's wrong?

anyone?

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.

Memory card password request after software upgrad...

Nokia 6700 Requesting Memory card password?
I have a Nokia 6700 Classic, the bluetooth stopped working so I called Orange who checked I was following the instructions clearly and then suggested I download the latest software version 13.20 via the computer. I did this with no problem only to find that the bluetooth still did not work and now | was being asked for a password to access my memory card. I have NEVER entered a password on my memory card. Having taken advice from the website I had removed all my precious photos etc to the memory card so they would be safe - now I am asked for a password that I have never set. The software is obviously corrupt in my opinion and no one can help me with a password. Have tried all possible 4 number combinations 12345 and the guy at carphone warehouse thought it was an 8 digit/character passsword. I know I could format the card but the data would be lost. Can not make it work in the computer or in other phones. Can not remove the password as you have to enter it to remove it! Orange can not help although they have been super and likewise the Carphone Warehouse and Nokia seem to just send out standard responses that prove they do not read the correspondence, although Nokia are responsible for the faulty software that has done this. The photos include some of a friend I recently lost and of someone who has little time left, I can not replace those photos. Any help would be appreciated. Surely someone at Nokia - ie the software programmers should be able to say what they have done and get me the info. This fault has been evident on lots of forums for the last 4 years - it is about time it was taken seriously - both the problems with the bletooth and the memory password. Any help appreciated. Thank you

My wife has forgotten the password for the microsd 2gb memory card which she had in her Nokia 6700 phone. she did a factory reset of her phone and now cannot acces her memory card. I've tried it in other devices and it is not recognised.. even in a PC. how can we access the card again. not bothered about data that was on it just wanna wipe it and reuse it. Try formatting or anything with her phone and it just keeps asking for the correct password which we don't know..
It will only allow me to format it. If I give the right password 1st.
WHICH WE DON'T KNOW!!!!
HELP PLS!!!!!

Nokia 5610 XM MicroSD Card formatted in pc not wor...

Hi, My 1GB Nokia Micro SD memory card, that came along with Nokia 5610 XM, was corrupted and had no way to fix/remedy/avert the situation unless format the memory. I wasn't able to check if there was indeed a format option in my phone before formatting the microSD memory card via my computer. I formatted the Micro SD in FAT format and had it checked if my phone can detect it, but it read as "Media Player Sync Files" and it was only a folder and not as a memory icon. I also did FAT32 conversion and result was the same.I checked for format options in my phone but there was none.
I searched the internet for answers or clues as to how can I fix the problem and make my phone function back to normal with its memory card, to no avail I found no answers including here. A forum mentioned that I needed to recover back a file from Nokia that will allow the unit to read the memory card. I don't know what that is.
I hope there will be any "detailed help" provided from anyone who knows how to deal with the issue. Thank you.

Thanks to all should anyone else add information regarding my query.
I found the solution the same day I was having been bothered by it. I happen to have formatted the memory card via a card reader thru my pc. My mobile phone detected it as "Media Player Sync files" and it has 0kb even when it is refilled with mp3s. There isn't any problem with the memory card, but the problem was I did not include a name on the Volume Label found during formatting the memory card.
I reinserted the memory card into my card reader and had it formatted, this time with a Volume Label "Memory Card" (compression is FAT, I heard FAT32 is also okay), then I had the mobile phone read the memory card and was able to detect it as "MEMORY CARD" and used its formatting function to formally format the memory card in Nokia's legal grounds. It is now back to normal.
