To little space on new miniSD card


Recommended Posts

Hi folks

I just got a new SanDisk miniSD 2GB card but when I put it in my phone it only says 1.89GB.

Do I need to format it somehow first?

I have a qtek 8310 so if anyone knows how please tell me.

Also I would like to know how to force my phone to use the card for temp files, applications and such

Many thanks,

MartinM

It is as your HDD! when they say it is 2gb they mean 2.000.000 bytes, witch is 1.89gb ;) Marketing tricks... ;)

this is normal

the "lost" space is used for the FAT - File allocation table. This rule is also especially applied to PC hard disks

thanks for the quick reply.

Anywho.

What about the second question

"Also I would like to know how to force my phone to use the card for temp files, applications and such"

Any ideas?
