Nokia 5800 memory card data loss

Hello Everyone,
I've had one frustrating experience with my phone and it continues to annoy me. Since the past 6 months that i'm using my nokia 5800, one problem reoccurs frequently. Data on my memory card gets deleted by itself every now and then. I lose videos, music and images primarily every time.
The only option remaining then is to run a data recovery software on my memory card to restore to the lost data. This has happened 5 times in last 6 months and I have no clue why. I have seen many other complaining of the same problem in this forum but there's no solution. I hope to find on in this thread.
For your knowledge, i'm using 8gb micro sd that came with the phone and i'm already on FW ver 40.X which is the latest.
List of Nokia phones I've used: 3310, 3315, 3200, 6600,3250, N73 ME, N95 8GB, 5800 XpressMusic and Nokia X6 16 GB (currently using this).

I have the same problem on my Nokia 5800 XM v50. It happens since i use it last August when it was v30. I am using the original 8GB microSD card.
Glad that the loss files are always mp3s or mp4 that I copied from computer to the memory card. I didn't loss any photos or videos taken with the phone camera.
Another problem is that sometimes I cannot startup phone with the memory card plugged. It just shows the Nokia shaking hands and then white screen forever. I have to take out the battery or press the power button for more than 8sec to trun it off.
Sometimes I am able to start the phone by remove battery several times. BUT NOT TODAY. It can start if I take out the memory card before I press power button. After it is loaded into the home screen, if I insert the memory card, it HANGS.
I have been a Nokia user for 10yrs. And I always have faith on Nokia phones even when there were a lots of bugs on 5800 v30. BUT today i am really frustrated ....
My phones: Nokia 5130, 3210, 3310, 6510, 6108, 6230, 3250, (Windows Mobile), 5800XM, N8 + Booklet 3G.
bye Nokia...

Nokia 5800 Memory Card Corruption

Hi I have had my 5800 for going on 6 months now and have started to run into problems which i thin are being caused by the memory card.
1. The music player wil not start with the card inserted ( got an error about a corrupt database)
2. Unable to download files from the internet ( error message unable to downlaod file ...)
3. Data being lost on the memory card and having to format and re install all my data ( have done this once)
i have also done a hard rest (red+green +camera)
wondering if any of these problems have been seem befor and if you could sujest solutions

memory card corruption is common. i am surprised that the one supplied with your phone lasted this long. you can try to reformat the memory card and see if this helps any. if not just buy another card. yes such behaviors can be seen in phones with corrupted memory cards but not only.

Nokia, the memory card needs moving

why put the memory card under the battery? if i want to take it out to stick some data on using the readers that come as standard on many pc's now, i can't. i will have to reprogram the time and date and deal with the phones covers. The cards of very limited use, and might aswell not be removeable.

The 6230i is an old phone and was one of the first series 40 phones to feature a memory card.
Most newer nokia's memory cards can be changed without removing the battery. Some lower end phones (7373) still have the slot under the battery.

Nokia 6288 Memory Card Formatted

I have accidentally formatted my memory card and lost all the data. I have bought my phone in Dubai and I am now in Manila. Can anyone help me how to have the same data by sending me a link or zip file of it? Thanks!

Muhammad,
Bring your phone to a Nokia Service Center and ask them if they can load the "Preloaded Files"on your memory card.
You can also call the Nokia CareLine for technical assistance.

Help! nokia 6300 memory card problem

i bought sd 2gb memory card and it won't let me download more than 500 mb onto it! the memory status shows that there is plenty left but if i try to download any more - or even move an image from phone to memory card - it tells me that operation failed! i did format the card and it didn't help
help!

try to reinstall your current firmware (after backing up all your important data first) or see if there is an update for your 6300 via nokia software updater. but i think there is a problem with your memory card rather than your phone, as can happen with normal USB flash drives when copying files to them, they suddenly give up and start giving strange errors. so maybe try replacing your card with a better quality new one.
hope this helps

5800 memory card disk error

I just got my phone back from repair (home screen buttons weren't working and music player stopped after one song). The home screen now works fine but as soon as I put my memory card back in it now comes up with 'disk error unable to write'. My laptop won't recognise the phone either. It won't let me format the card either as this makes it hang and I have to take the battery out.
Is there a solution to this or am I going to have to take it back for another repair?
I cannot wait for my contract to be up.

Memory card seems corrupted, try to use Card reader on your laptop to backup data first, then format card, if successfully formated, then insert to phone, hopefully it'll work after being formatted.

Nokia e65 memory card problem

Is there any possibility that an 8gb micro sdhc card to work on a Nokia E65?

Check it here: http://mea.nokia.com/find-products-en/accessories/all-accessories/memory-cards-and-cables/memory-car...
I note it's not there - your E65. So ask yourself this question: does your phone take 4GB? If yes, it will take potentially 32GB. The reason for that is that all microSD cards from 4GB onwards are microSDHC. If your phone is capable of accepting the lowest microSDHC available, it will be able to accept the highest - but for some software limitations. Good luck

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.

Nokia 6230I Memory card problem

i've put a password on my memory card and now i can't remember what it is, is there anyway i can remove it?

Im afraid there is no way to get that code without remembering it.
You'll just have to keep at it and hopefully you will think of it.
The password will consist of numbers and/or letters and unlimited attempts to guess it.
Good luck

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.

Nokia 5800 Contact Creation Date

Hey Guys and Girls,
I had a bit of a look around but cannot find any answers so hopefully someone on here will be able to help.
I going through a bit of spring cleaning on my Nokia 5800 and want to see the date a contact in my phonebook was created.
Can this be done either on the phone or through the Nokia suite?
Thanks in advance.
cheers,
Matt

AFAIK this is not possible, there is no dte embedded in contacts, and many of my contacts are over 10 yrs old and have been on several phones ! If I ever 'clear out' my contacts I just remove people I never call or simply can't remember ! But I really don't think the feature you require exisys, no doubt some technical expert will prove me wrong, hopefully

Encrypt memory card data

How can I encrypt files on memory card so if phone is stolen data can't be read?
Using device encryption is useless, I think. Is password encription the only way?
Many thank, Bye Tom

The process varies according to your OS release on the device, but check Options > Security > General Settings and set your password and see what options you have there. You should find one for encryption to include the media card.

Transfering memory card data to n95 8gb

thank you i will try this, but i last time i used pc suite i was having a connection problem
PC Suite doesn't even come into the equation here.
Connect the phone in data storage mode. It will appear in your "My Computer" as an external drive.
Enable the display of hidden and system files so that everything gets copied and just drag/drop stuff over from one place to the other using the explorer.
(Note that I can't provide more detailed help than that since I don't actually use Windows on my own PCs)
