Yesterday I bought a bricked HTC Surround because I wanted to see what I could do with it .My observation was the dreaded stuck on the HTC screen. So I researched and also had a samsung focus handy and found out a key problem we all know about the corrupt memory cards. So I download stock roms of both the focus and surround. My concern was merely on the surround ;I flashed the surround to att stock rom: i bought a torex 8 in 1 and a phillip .00 screwdrivers and opened the surround and took the memory card out and cleaned the memory card then i put the phone back together without the screws or the memory card I did the reboot reset on; the phone partitioned on its own memory: THEN the phone would not connect to Zune so I went under the computer on the start menu right clicked on then opened properties and open device manager connected the the surround to the device manager and forced it to download drivers(unknown device will come up when on device manager). Next I disconnected the phone after i had gotten the drivers on my computer (reassembled phone with memorycard and simcard in) I made sure gb was in the about phone column before i synced it to zune. The focus I used as a reference for how it would update and wp7 build. AND now the surround enjoys mango .
I was trying to back up my memory card (5800XM) via Windows XP - copying/pasting - and several corrupt files were thrown up.e.g "22%.dat" in the Private....CacheE folder, a file for Opera Mini DS folder Even when I deleted 22%.dat from the phone, it was miraculously resurrected as soon as I tried to copy over again. Do I have to reformat the card & reinstall Ovi Maps, music / image files, Apps again ?
My Storm was getting real slow. When I tried to do a backup via DM it kept getting hung up when it got to the Messenger files. So I deleted BBM, always figuring that I can install it again. I did not use BBM all that much anyways. Before I deleted Messenger I would boot at 29mb and it would quickly go down from there. Now I boot at 41mb and it has held steady. I guess I must have had a corrupt BBM file(s) that was messing with my BB. I don't know how big the BBM install is but I doubt it is 10MB.It's not the amount of memory that I boot with that bothers me it is how fast I have been losing it. If I booted at 20mb and it held there pretty steady it would not bother me. It is just the unstableness of the OS that is driving me batty. I haven't been able to load any 3rd party themes on my phone without it bleeding the memory dry in a matter of hours. Google Maps would be a fast drain in just a few minutes. Hopefully this will improve my phones performance in the long run.

Memory card SanDisk 4GB Micro SDHC
I've had this phone for roughly 3 months now, bought it brand new from Phones 4U. Everything was perfectly working, when all of a sudden yesterday my phone kept thinking it has no memory card inserted. So I removed the memory card and did a battery pull, re-insterted the card again and still no luck. I next checked if the media card support was enabled, and it was. I then inserted my memory card into my PC and it worked perfectly, no errors or anything. I then tried formatting my card (FAT32) and inserted it once again and yet no luck. I then went to my storage options again, and under media card it reads 'A media card is not presently inserted in the device.' Even trying a different micro SD card did not help. For a second it said 'media card inserted' but seconds later 'media card removed'. This doesnt happene everytime, only sometimes.
Does anyone know when memory cards will be available for the Blackbery Bold 9700? Also, is it clear that Bold 9700 phones purchased now in the U.S. through AT&T will accept the memory cards when they are issued, or is there some reason why they may be incompatible?
I've had my Torch for a few months and I just swapped my SD card (8gb) from my previous phone into the torch. It worked fine for a good while but I then started getting constant messages saying the media card was inserted then removed; these would occur straight after each other until i would lose patience and take it out.I wiped the card, formatted it, followed all the instructions on the forums of how to transfer media onto it properly but now the phone doesn't even recognise it. I assumed it was just that specific card as it as caused hassel in the past, so i tried a few other SD cards and the phone isn't recognising any of them.I intend to send my Torch to get repaired if I can't find a solution but I would rather not send it away for 14 days if I can avoid it.
My camera in my Blackberry says that the memory card is full and that I should delete photos. I have already transferred them all to my computer and deleted them via my computer however the phone still says that I need to delete. How do I do a complete delete of my memory card?
I have a corporate Bold 9700 that I want to swap out its existing 2GB card with a new 8GB card. I have files and pictures and whatnot on my 2GB card that I would like to carry over to the 8GB. Turning encryption off is not an option as the security policy is managed by the corporate office. And, of course, copying the files to my desktop, then putting them onto the 8GB card doesn't work either.Is there a backup option for the media card or something in DTM? I looked all over for it and came up with nothing. I have not wiped out my 2GB card and it is perfectly fine in the phone now; all files intact. I just want to upgrade to an 8GB card. How do I do that?
I have a prototype bb pearl 9105 that works 100% except that it cannot read memory cards, ANY MEMORY CARD. It has beta OS 5.0.0.925 (bundle 1534), can the firmware be the problem?
I have a question about the memory that BB's have. What is the point of having SD cards if we cannot use them for the applications? Storm 2 users have 16bgs of memory device and SD card combine, but we can only use about 100mb for apps. We only have 256mb of application memory. why? The OS takes half of that, with the memory leaks that we have an a couple of appls our phones start acting retarded and slow.
Why cant we have the application memory just for the OS and the rest of the memory for apps and out stuff. What is the point of having all this memory available if the phone is going to slow down because our memory is going low. Is it always going to be like this? the new bb's are going to be coming out with 512mb of application memory and i still think we are going to have the same issue.
I switched from an iPhone to this Motorola Defy one week ago, I purchased a 16 gig memory card to match the memory of the iPhone, and loaded about 10 gigs of music onto it. This froze my phone upon reading the card. I downgraded to an 8 gig card and loaded around 4 gigs of music, which also froze the phone. This time, however I was able to start playing the music before eventually freezing. I deleted all except 1.5 gigs of the music and now it works fine; however this is a waste of my money purchasing a large memory card; or even switching from the iPhone in the first place.
I have a few cards in the app Cards (it sends personalized paper greetings and birthday cards through the mail) that show in my history (already sent cards as well as drafts). Is there any way to remove these cards from the app?
My brand new S6 has difficulties to show its partition on Windows 8.1 explorer, I can see the S6 icon but if I click on it it says ''this folder is empty''. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes for the driver to appear! I uninstalled all HTC sync and drivers as well as changed USB port but still same problem
I just installed OS 5.0.0.822 and runnin windows XP on my computer.anyway, for some reason I can't access my 4GB memory card using windows explorer like i used to. I do have "media card support" on, "Mass Storage Mode Support" on, and "Auto enable mass storage mode when connected" on.
Is there something i am doing wrong or setting that got changed?
my PC can't read it any more. When I plug it into the card reader, it is detected, but always with a message like "The disk in drive H: is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?". The card seems to work fine in the phone, all the data is available. I didn't used to have this issue before, but I wouldn't be able to tell you off hand when I last used the card via card reader.
So my first guess was that some recent firmware upgrade may have changed the filesystem on the mem card. I downloaded the ext2/3 drivers from ext2fsd.com , but that didn't help either. I haven't yet had a chance to connect the phone via USB directly and explore the card that way, but it usually takes quite long to transfer files that way. So what can I try to get Windows to read the card? Is it a filesystem issue? Has anybody seen this before?I am running Android 4.0.3 on Samsung firmware (I9100DXLPA).
This may sound like a complete newbie question, but I've never had to do this....Is there a way to see what is solely on my memory card and delete certain objects to free up some space?When I had a Windows based phone I could just go into the folders.. is this possible with my 9700?
How do I delete a corrupt contact, no matter what I try, I cant get rid of a contact that has two(2) ++ sings one on top of each other before the name.
Whenever I take photos it often happens that they are corrupt. Although they appear normal when being viewed on the Blackberry, but when I connect it to a PC and try to view them there they are either a mixture of several photos I have taken in one picture or in some cases even the image header is corrupt. I have already formatted the Micro SD card.
I have a 9360 and i have a problem that keeps happening. When i scrol down through emails the body of the message disappears and the screen changes to a check pattern. if I scroll backup the text reappears. This only seems to happen on emails - not in a browser or any other app where I scroll through content. It seemd to fix when i remove the battery and restart the device but a few days later it does it again.
I just received a replacement handset. In order to repopulate my PIMs, I downloaded and installed Funambol. It connected and synced my calendar, tasks and notes, but the contacts have become corrupted. I can see them, but I can't access them or remove them. I tried to remove them with the desktop manager. After a soft reboot, I could remove them, or so I thought, but even if I did a soft restart at this point, when I tried to restore from the backup I made before I got the replacement, I just get an error message saying that the restore failed. When I look, I find the contacts have all reappeared, but are still unusable. I even tried uninstalling Funambol and soft resetting, but the results were the same.
I use Lumia Camera or Proshot to capture most of my photos, while also using the native camera app when I want to take burst photos.
For the Lumia Camera, I usually go for JPEG (5 + 34/38 MP), changing aspect ratio now and then. Sometimes, 5 MP photos are fine, but the 34/38 MP ones will get corrupted, i.e. they will either be just green or grey backgrounds. Same thing also tends to happen with DNG files, that they cannot be opened by Photoshop or some other software.
This issue (corrupt high-res photos) also tend to happen with Proshot when shooting with high-res.
Performing a soft reset solved the problem, but I'm getting tired of soft resetting my phone every now and then.
I've attached 3 screenshots.
1: Basic viewing of the 5 MP photo. No issue here.
2: When I pressed "Open with Lumia Camera", this green photo happens. Instead of a high-res photo, I get a high-res green background.
3: Using a File Explorer, you can see that the photos affected are the high res ones from Lumia Camera. Also happens with ProShot's high-res photos.
I use an external drive regularly, are my iPhone backups on there somewhere? My current iPhone backup says Corrupt so I need to go back further than what is available on my mac's itunes.
My iPhone (3gs) will not backup because it is corrupted (so the window tells me). I get an error message that the backup was corrupt or incompatible with the iPhone, and I am told to delete the Backup for this iPhone. Where is it? How do I delete it?
I have just tried to back-up & update my iPhone but when doing so iTunes gives an error message saing that it can't restore or back-up as the phone is corrupt? The phone is only 5 months old and was restored successfully last time
"Do 32 Gb micro SD cards actually work reliably in DROID4?"I just switched carriers and my son and I ended up both with DROID4 phones and 32 Gb micro SD cards (SANdisk). On the first day, I experienced several freezes of my phone when doing things which used the SD card. In particular, taking pictures and sending some pictures via text (well, MMS) message. By freeze, I mean the screen would go blank but if someone texted me, the phone will still buzz but nothing I could do short of power cycling (power + volume down for 10 seconds) would make the phone respond again.
The other issue I had is I connected a USB cable from a windows 7 laptop to the phone. The phone showed up as drives E, F, and G. E had some motorola software, F, was the phone internal storage and G was the micro SD card. I tried to copy a folder containing some pictures and music from my old phone over. After the first 2 out of a few hundred files copied, windows explorer stopped responding and the phone was frozen too. Waited for hours and it never came back. So, reboot phone, reboot computer. Phone says SD card is bad and I need to format it. So I did. Tried again and got the same results. Then I tried taking the card out of the phone and putting in the computer with the USB adapter that came with the card. Computer says card is corrupt and needs formatting. So... format on the computer. Then I copied all the pictures and music over that I wanted. No problems. Put the card back in the phone. Phone says card is corrupt and needs formatting. Told it to format and the phone froze again.So after getting frustrated I tried putting an old 8 Gb card in the phone after formatting on the computer (FAT32). I was able to connect phone to computer with USB and copy all my files over to the SD card, no problems. Haven't had any more issues. That made me think that perhaps I just had a bad 32 Gb card so I called verizon and asked them to send a replacement which is supposedly in the mail.
That all consumed a day. After all that my son starts taking pictures on his identical phone. And... he starts getting some freezes on his phone. This leads me to ask the question "do 32 Gb micro SD cards actually work on DROID4?". Related to this, what allocation size do folks use if they format the card on a PC before putting in this phone?I really don't have time/energy to keep messing with the phone but would like the larger storage. However I am forced to wonder if these phones just don't play well with 32 Gb cards as I find the chances of both my son and I getting bad new in the box cards to be unlikely.
Trying to transfer all my data from the 4s to the 5s. Made a brand new backup from the 4s and it just says that its corrupt or not compatible when I try to restore the 5s. I have deleted all the old backups and made a new one each time.
