Guest GeorgeBailey Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 I just got a 512 MB Tosihiba mini SD card and can't get it to work at all. It came with an adapter to make it work with full sized SD cards, but when I try to plug it into the universal card reader on my PC it recognizes that something in there, but I can't explore or format it. When I plug it into the phone the phone blinks, but doesn't recognize the card. Sound like a card problem or a phone problem? Am I doing something wrong? Am I retarded? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Guest roma0803 Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 Seems more like a card problem than a phone problem to me since it your computer doesn't recognize it also. My card was recognized and usable right after placing it in my phone.

Guest MadSci Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 ya <{POST_SNAPBACK}> By all means, format the card (use FAT as the File Format). If it is still unhappy in your phone, then consider switching card brands. I've been through hell and back with a Sandisk card sold by Best Buy as suitable for the MPx220. Never worked right, files and directories were corrupted and disappeared/reappeared at random. Other issues too. Well, turns out that Sandisc mSD cards are NOT suitable for use in cell phones of any kind. Says so right on their web site. Ordered a PQI card from OUtpost.com. It, and my phone, are now paragons of virtue, with perfect file stability, App performance and fidelity. Get a card that is known to work. Send the other one back. Good Luck MadSci
