Xperia Z1 Memory Card

I bought a Xperia Z1 and it is expandable upto 64Gb. So i bought this Scan Disk Memory card but it is not showing in the phone. Does Xperia Z1 support exfat32 format?

SDHC are suppose to be formatted with FAT32, SDHC standard supports max of 32GB capacity.
SDXC (64GB and more) are always exFAT formatted out of the box, otherwise they cannot be used.
you can easily find out the filesystem by inserting the card to any SD reader (USB stick or built in laptop's reader) and checking it's properties on the computer (Windows XP with exFAT patch installed, Vista SP2+, Windows 7, Windows 8, some modern linux distros).
If your card is 64GB it should be formatted with exFAT filesystem, it is designed for exFAT, otherwise it might not work at all.
When everything have failed already, try to read the manual.

Is 64gb memory card can slow down xperia z1?

I wants to buy a 64gb memory card, but somebody tell me that 64gb sd card may slow down your mobile. help plz

I have a Sandisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC UHS-1 compatible and my phone has never been laggy since the start that I have no memory card inserted.
But with Android 4.3, TRIM support is now enabled, meaning all the files coming from the eMMC (internal memory) and the SD card will now be faster to be indexed than before. (Search TRIM support for more details).

Problem with Access of memory card and internal storage after update

Hej,
I cant save anything on intern or extern memory.
Was about to write some file into a folder belonging to some application.
Made this with a copy from external to internal memory alst friday without any problem. But I even could not save a file on the memory card, memory ist locked.
All this is new after some SW Update last Saturday.

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Did you use the preinstalled app "File Commander" when you tried this or a 3:rd party file manager? Due to new restrictions for the external SD card in Android 4.4 you need to use the preinstalled file manager or use a computer to write to any folder on the external SD.

Memory Card backup

Hello everybody
I bought a new 16 GB memory card for my N96, but I don't know what to de exactly now. I just want to transfer the data from the old memory card onto the new one. What's the best way to do this?
Thank You
Dieter Vanmarcke
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Best is to use the PC...
1. Insert the old card in the phone in Mass storage (or use card reader)
2. Make sure you have set your Windows/Mac to show hidden files
3. Create a folder on the PC and copy all files and folders from the card to the PC
4. Insert the new card into the phone and simply paste back the files and folders from the PC
Of course, you can always use PC Suite Backup (make sure you have selected to backup User files on Memory card), but the Mass storage mode is easier.
BTW, you may need to instruct the phone to use the Memory card for storage (SMS, images), but I think you won't need to do that...

Change of memory card

I am willing to upgrade my memory card , if i copy all the data from old one to new one , will all the apps work again
?? what do i need to do ??

Applications are installed to the phones memory by default, so you would be able continue using the applications as per normal, however if the application uses the memory card to store save data or temporary data it may not be able to read it. This is based on the application's in use.

Memory Card Problem plus loads more

Hi I have had my phone 5230 for 3 weeks now, so am getting around it ok but must be still doing loads wrong as i am having a tonne load of problems.
Problem 1) Have inserted an 8Gb card, but when i try to open any apps or download any i am told that i do not have enough memory on C file to move or delete, why doesn't it go to my memory card (memory card new still have about 6gb left on it). Cannot install anything.
Problem 2) Relates to problem 1, trying to download ovi map updates am told i do not have enough memory, i have deleted everything i possibly can, if it's an update why doesn't it overwrite.
Problem 3) On trying to upload new Nokia software have entered the *#0000# on my phone
pressed options, clicked check for updates, does the usual checking, tells me to sign in and do password, then tells me it doesn't match, done this about 5 times, thought it was me, but as i am posting this and able to sign on via my computer using the same sign in and password it is not. (Please do not come back to me with"ckeck u are signing in with right details, I am).
I love the look but as i am not able to use the phone to it's full potential am getting a bit fed up with it, have reverted back to my old sony eriksson, may buy new xperia instead.

1.Remember to Clear browser's cache
2.if you have Opera Mobile installed, Clear Cache
3.check your "Images" "Sounds" "Videos" folder on Phone memory, if something is stored there move it to Memory Card.
4; If u r using "Ovi Music" app, Clear Cache, Options>clear cache.
For ur 3rd problem;
You don't need Password and login Id to check for updates.

Sony microSDHC memory card UHS-I class 10 compatibility

Hello
I planned to purchase a Sony microSDHC 32GB memory card but I didn't found my Xperia Z2 phone on its compatible page. Model: SR-32UYA/T1.
I'm confused whether it's support or not.

5230-Phone memory vs Memory card memory

How to move messages from phone memory to memory card?
Because, in messaging - options- settings-other-memory in use- if i set it to memory cars, phone memory messages are hidden....so how to transfer them to memory card...
Pl help

1: If you have Opera Mobile installed, Clear cache.
2. If you have too many "Saved pages" in Opera Mobile, delete those.
3. If you are using Opera Mini, change its "Saved Pages Location" to somewhere on memory card.
4. If using Ovi Music, Clear cache.
If you have installed any other application which uses phone memory to store Temporary files change its location to memory card, if it allows you...
Also Go to Settings>application manager>installed apps>do you see a mini memory card icon on the right side of each application you installed?
If you don't see that icon that means they are installed on phone memory, uninstall them and reinstall on memory card. (please don't mind if you already know these thing, i am just trying to explain to make it clear if you don't know).
And the ultimate way to free up Maximum phone memory is to do a reset, which i'd recommend to do ONLY IF YOU WANT THE PHONE MEMORY BACK ON EVERY COST. Just ask if you don't know how to do that.
Good Luck,

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.

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....

Not able to Delete the data from Memory card

Hi all,
I have bought a new nokia 3120 classic.it is working fine but recently i have received some data from my friend.
Then suddenly the problem begins like.. when i take a photo.. i am getting error like the image is not in the format and i am not able to save that.And also, the main problem is I am unable to delete the data from my memory card.
Every time after deleting i am getting the same data.
Why this happening..is it because of VIRUS?? If so how to delete the virus from my memory card??
When i contacted the nokia care people in bangalore they are saying that they can offer the service of formatting the memory card??
Except that my Phone is working fine..the problem is with Memory card!!!
Please help me...

you can actually format your memory card first see if you have such option on your phone to format directly from the phone if that is not possible you can always use a card reader and reformat your card using your pc. just understand that all data from that memory card will be lost unless you do a back up of it. if you do a back up and restore the data to the memory card after reformat you might get the same issue so be careful as to what you will decide to do with the data from the card. once you format your card it should all be good unless the card is corrupted itself which can also happen. but first try with the reformat and see if it works out for you.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....
