Eseries / Communicators :: E72 No Option To Format MicroSD Card?
Nov 2, 2011
I have seen the option before, and it is in the manual, but neither of my E72s (both with latest s/w) will format the card, either as it was, with 14GB data, or formatted in Windows (7) and clean as the proverbial whistle.
My beloved N900 dropped its USB connector, so I made a backup on the microSD card and took the phone to repair. I got an E7 in return. Now, I want my calendar, address book, and other things restored on the E7. My linux laptop can read the SD card. What should I do?
I'm rather surprised that the E7 doesn't have a memory card slot. Is Nokia adopting all of Apple's mistakes?
If absolutely necessary I have access to a Windows computer after a week, but I wouldn't like to be without my address book until then. So I'm willing to try even hackish things.
I encrypted my memory card, worked ok for months. Today I showed a buddy of mine the encryption application, which asked if the memory card should be encrypted (encryption was already enabled). No Keyfiles/Passwords where asked for. The Phone crashed after that (hard reset after 5 hours). So the card is now encrypted, but there appears to be no valid key file on the device... So we have the usual issue: encrypted card, no keyfile or password.My problem is different in the following aspect: I don't want to recover any data - I just want to reformat the card and use my last (weekly) backup. However the phone won't let me do this. The following steps were taken to solve this issue without success:A complete Restore using the PC Suite does not restore any memory card contents or keys. The memory card stays "corrupted", encrypted and unwritable."Format Memory Card" says "card corrupted". Upon issuing the format request it says "Another application is using this memory card. Proceed" (which I confirm, as I suppose the crypto driver grabs the device) and then the program does nothing. It returns to the starting screen with "memory card corrupted".ReEnabling Encryption with a different key keeps saying that "No keys found", even after setting a new one. Sidenote: Even with a new key the card can't be formatted, as described above.The Phone was reset (using *#7370#, the 3+*+Green never worked on my phone) to factory defaults. Still the card was correctly recognized as encrypted and remained unusable as described above.Using a PC to format the memory card fails, as only the first 512kB appear to be writable (using dd under linux to write sequential zeroes). Despite writing this zero-dump, the phone still recognizes the card as encrypted, which implies that data on the card survived that crude zeroing attempt. Interestingly enough I can create a FAT32 Filesystem on these 512KB (not quick format), which appears to have no effect on the phone considering the card encrypted...The card is ok, since it was only removed after the problem occured. This must be an encryption issue. I suspect that the "Read Only" Password was set on the SD Card (hardware side, not E71 software) and hence all read/write operations are declined by the card.Is there any way to actually reset the encryption state of this card? As I previously said: I am not trying to recover any data, I just want a cleanly formatted microSD card..
Just wondering if I need to format my MicroSD card before I use it in my new LG Xenon? If so, what should it be formatted as - FAT32 or NTFS?Didn't see this in the manual.
am trying to fully clean up my phone for the next potential owner by doing a cache wipe, wiping all data from the phone and doing an SD card format.I had no problems getting into the recovery console and doing the cache & data wipe, but every time I go into settings/storage (in the normal phone powered up mode), the option to format the SD card is greyed out? I was able to connect the DX in PC mode to my computer and manually delete the items on it, but I wanted to do a clean format.
I need to format my phone E55. I've already tried with *37370# but this only reinitialize the settings of my phone. I know about the second options, with 3 keys pressed. Does anyone knows witch keys are required for format on E55?
Hi , I need to display only Sim contacts in phone contacts option rather than contacts that are saved in memory card. According to me knowledge there is a bug in these cell phone perhaps if you have any old nokia phone you may find this option.
I'm from Vietnam, I own an E71 (FW 400.013.23), when I bought this phone, Chat application is pre-installed and it's okay for me. However, after I format my phone Chat application disappeared
Could you please recommend a video converter that can convert most videos to a format compatible with E72's built-in RealPlayer? "The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made." HAL 9000
i was wondering if there is any screensaver option for Nokia E5-00.I have been searching all through my nokia E5-00 for that option but cant find it.I even tried downloading third party screen saver software but it wont work.
I added a wired handset some time ago, before used to have the "Loudspeaker" option while in calls appear on the bottom right of the screen, now its gone - even when not connected to a handset and in a call. now I have to do a left button click go into options and turn loudspeaker on, its much more cumbersome.
My Nokia E71 is currently running on 3 software and is not showing my Vodafone internet. When i open up my web browser on my Nokia is asks me where i would like to connect to and i receive the following options: 'MMS' 'Mobile Internet' and 'Planet 3', all of which i have tried and no luck. I have a pre-paid plan on Vodafone which allows 500MB free data. On my previous E63, i presume it was running on vodafone software because it had shown an option to connect to my Vodafone Internet.
Few days back i purchaced a E72 with a hope that I would be able to read my PDF. But to my disappointment every time I have to either scroll let or right to read it. The REFLOW option is missing. The version that it shows me is Adobe Reader LE 2.5.202 Nokia_S603.0. Please let me know hw do I get reflow done .Its really disgusting that nokia does not provide a Reflow Option for such application.
I switched from Blackberry to Nokia.Earlier with my Blackberry phones I was able to open password protected files by supplying the password, but with my new E6-00, it doesnot give me an option of entering the password.It should provide you with an option of entering the password, as this is being marketed by Nokia as a smartphone?
Is there an easy way to search for a song (except browsing the albums and songs) in the library in E6 with Belle? The player was very simple and efficient in E63, E72, but now it's very complicated.
I have updated my E63 mobile software and after that loudspeaker option is not coming while start of call. it comes only after connecting to caller (when ringing tone comes). Ealier (when software not updated) there was not any problem.
My mail for exchange has locked up. The little wheel icon spins but it does not update. I normally just find the "full resync" option that deletes the content and then resyncs. This generally fixes any glitch. I did a software update last week and I have spent about 3 hours trying to find it. My software version is 211.12.01 date 31-03-01 custom version 211.12.01.204.04 date 26-08-10 I got this from *#0000#Can anyone tell me the how to access the full resync and if as I have heard rumoured it is no longer available how do you now achieve a resync?
Am having a problem in E-7 that it does not supprt EDIT LABEL option in Contacts since I use many numbers in a single entry.We have edited and remove your email address on your post, personal details like IMEI/Mobile number/real name etc.

I bought a 16gb MicroSD card for my 5230 Nuron. How do I transfer everything from the original 4gb card to the new card? I've downloaded some apps and themes and I want to make sure they get transferred to the new card. I tried doing a full backup and restore using Ovi Suite and some of the downloaded apps made it and some didn't. I tried to re-download some of them from Ovi Store but Ovi Store seemed to think they were still there and wouldn't let me download them again. Is it as simple as copying the contents of the old card to the new card?
