Guest Ed Posted January 17, 2003 Report Posted January 17, 2003 When I first got the phone everything worked fine. I was able to copy an mp3 or two onto the 8mb card, they would all play perfectly. After a while, when copying files I knew the card had room for, using explorer it started saying there was not enough room on the card. To make sure I dumped all the pre-installed stuff onto my desktop and deleted everything off the card. Even when copying a 7K text file onto it, it would bring up the “not enough space” error. I assumed that the 8MB card might be ruined, so when I got a new 128MB “Integral” one through from expansys I gave it a go. The card shows up in explorer and I am able to copy to it, I tried a few mp3s but they don't show up in the WMP list. I tried to copy them back and they had been corrupted by the looks of things because winamp won't play them. After undocking and redocking the card shows up as blank again. I would try and use All Explorer but when I try and register it says my connection has failed. Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 17, 2003 Report Posted January 17, 2003 Do a manual registration on All-Explorer, the automatic doesn't seem to work! P
Guest Orangatang Posted January 17, 2003 Report Posted January 17, 2003 Have you flicked the lock switch on the card?
Guest Orangatang Posted January 17, 2003 Report Posted January 17, 2003 Sorry, i only read the first bit of your post before replying, it might still be the problem though
Guest Ed Posted January 17, 2003 Report Posted January 17, 2003 OK, I've triple checked the LOCK switch and it's off. I got All Explorer going and the last MP3 I copied to the card was visible. I clicked on it and WMP loaded but just sat there. I went back to All Explorer and the file was gone. If I try and copy some random file from "IPSM" to the card, using AE it says "failed to copy". Any other suggestions?
Guest Ash Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 had the same probs with the same card. finally got some files copied over but WMP justs opens and freezes like u've said. one question - did u format ur card?? ... mine arrived without an instruction guide (not that i ever read them!). if u have any ideas please let me know. i've run out ... and i'm considering sending the card back.

Ash. I have sorted my problems. It looks like the phone is fine and I was just unlucky when it came to the cards. I used my boss' PDA to download a program called "Flash Format" which has a verify and compare option. I used this on my 8MB card and found that it had 6MB of lost files which were recoved. This card works perfectly now. As for the 128MB card, it still had the same problems even after a format. Me and my boss have swapped cards and his DANE-ELEC card is working perfectly in the phone and my Integral is working fine in his PDA. Everbody's happy. Looks like the Integral cards are no good for the phone :/
Guest ajb3000 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 damn, I was just about to buy the SD card from expansys for £47, where else can I get another this cheap?
Guest DJHope Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 Strangely when i got my 256mb SD card it wasnt working properly in my card reader (yes i formatted it, kept sort of half copying the files and then saying read or checksum errors). Anyways i put it in the phone and it wanted to format it so fair enough that worked and i havnt had trouble with it in the phone ever, now im too scared to use it in my card reader in case it f*cks it! ;) DJ Hope
Guest Ash Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 thanx ed ... sent the card back today. now just gotta work out which one to order as a replacement!!
