Guest lrbh Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) I got the V1240 (similair to 8310 and SP5) I finally received my NCP 2GB mini sd card today. I loaded it in the phone and the phone found it. Then I transfered some mp3's over to the memory card via activesync and opened them in WMP. And the sound is blurry :S It looks like that the mp3's are damaged. I tried pictures also, the pictures gets damaged. Putting the minisd in my memorycard reader and connect it to my computer. The files are damaged. I've tried to format it with FAT and FAT32 and do it all over again. Same problem. If I transfer some mp3s from my computer via the memorycard reader, the mp3s plays fine on my COMPUTER. But when I put it back in the phone, the mp3s gets damaged again:( Anyone got any suggestions, or do I have to buy me a SanDisk card ? :D Could it be something wrong with my phone?

I think you received a damaged card. Hopefully you can have it replaced. BTW the 2GB Patriot Cards are only 49.99$ right now at Frys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The files are 100% OK before I put the card into my phone. After i've tried to open the files in my phone, the files gets damaged. Playback of mp3s etc from my phone memory works great though :S Edit: This is how my pictures looks AFTER opening them in my phone: http://img423.imageshack.us/img423/7127/photo0003hc7.jpg Edited August 31, 2006 by lrbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cng Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) Okay, I want to know a few things because it might not all be the card's fault. You have formated the card with what? Card reader or phone? You put the files directly on card or on the phone first? When you take a picture and save on the card, what happens to the picture? If you did everything from the phone (file transfer, take picture, formating) and you get a problem, maybe because your phone has a faulty reader. If you do everything with a memory card reader and get damaged files but taking pictures is okay, then your memory card reader is damaged.

Couldnt get SPTaskManager to format it (Error while formatting the card!). I put the files directly to my card, but I also tried to put it in the phone memory first, then move it to the memorycard in file explorer. I took some pictures, saving them directly on my memorycard. The first picture where OK, but after I took the second, my memorycard stopped responding on my phone. (Couldn't open file! error messages). Is there any other programs for formatting memorycard from the phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cng Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I think your phone has a faulty reader/writer. Test to see if you can files from your card reader right after you put them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lrbh Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I think your phone has a faulty reader/writer. Test to see if you can files from your card reader right after you put them on. After i put files on the card via my card reader, the files are all OK on my computer. I've tried several mp3's, videos and pictures, all ok. I put the card into my phone, and i can see the files from file explorer, but when i open them, they are damaged. mp3s gets weird, pictures gets stripes and videos is lagging badly. Could it be that the card isnt compatible with this phone? Never heard of 'NCP' brand before:S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest conan_troutman Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 why do you all format your cards i just stick them straight in the phone and I have not had any problems with any of them I even had a 2 gb working on an mpx220 that was until some dope said you should always format your card...and guess what the mpx could only handle half the capacity of the card My wife has the mpx and is happy with her 1gb but me I will never ever format a card again unless its coruppted and needs to be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what happened with the NVFS memory of the Palm Treo 650 in the early days and was later fixed. Edited September 1, 2006 by cng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lrbh Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 An update: I just bought a SanDisk 512MB MiniSD card and it works PERFECTLY! So I guess the NCP card wasn't compatible with my phone. Now i'm very happy :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Amauta Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Also not all cardreaders can handle bigger cards as 1 GB. When I first received my 2 GB card I had a lot of errors too. Changing my cardreader solved the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing my cardreader solved the problem. You mean my usb cardreader? It seems to work fine. It finds 1.89GB and I can transfer stuff on to it without damaging the files. The files dosn't get damaged untill my phone opens them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Amauta Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Did you completely fill your card with the cardreader and you didn't have problems? Then your cardreader is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lrbh Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Hmm. I tried now to put about 900MB on the memorycard, from my card reader, but I can only transfer 250MB on it, before I get an write error. And then all the files on the memorycard are damaged. I guess its something wrong with my card then. I will contact the seller and try to get an replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will contact the seller and try to get an replacement. try using the wm5torage and with the phone connected to pc format the card from pc then try to copy something big on the phone (even it take longer than cardreader but making this is sure to see if the card is broken) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lrbh Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 I tried formatting it via WM5torage but it failed to format. Now I can't access the card, or format it via my cardreader either. It must be the card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lrbh Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Did you ever figure out what was wrong? No I didn't, but i sent the card back to the seller. I'm waiting for a replacement. I'll post back when it arrives;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lrbh Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I received the replacement card today and it was a different brand 2GB mini sd card. Don't know what brand it is, as it dosn't say anything... But the new card worked 100% in my phone! Now I have about 1.90GB to play with :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
