MicroSD Card Help

i just got this 4gb microsd card for my motorola razr, my boi used it in his kodak camera, n it worked perfectly, buh wen i insert it in my phone, it saysz wen the card is inserted, buh i cant put nothing onto the card (pics, vids, ect.), it shows up on my comp and i can get into it......buh im juss havin troble wid it wen itsz in my phone....can ne1 help me??

 

when it was in the camera,the camera automatically formatted the memory card to work for the camera,so i suggest you put it in your computer and right click on the memory card and hit format,then try it in the phone,if not then read the book of your phone,it should tell you how to use the memry stick,mayb u had to create a folder or somthing

 

bro i had the same ****in problem last week! iiite just to make sure, are you using XP w/ a media card reader?

okay, the card needs to be formatted using the FAT32 file system to be compatible with most phones. once the card is inserted, right click it from my computer, click format, and set the type to FAT32. for some reason, when i tried doing this on XP (i tried on 3 sep. computers) it would only format using the FAT file type (as opposed to FAT32). i tried formatting it using one of my boys computers who has VISTA, and selecting FAT32, and it worked perfectly in the phone.

im assuming ur going to be using the memory card for music? if so, you can use the digital camera as sort of a gateway formatting. put the micro sd card in the sd adapter and put it in a digital camera. copy the files you want and paste it into the card loaction once the camera is connected to the computer via usb cable.

one of the two ways should work for you...let me kno

 

wells i have vista, and i tried formatting it to FAT32 n it formatted.....n my phone styll isnt picking up the card....itsz a 4gb microsd card, i yea i was going to use it for music pics vids ect.

 

did you check the compatability of the card? some phones can't handle anything over 2gb..

 

nah i aint check that, ima borrow my boisz 2gb card n see if it works, thx

 

check and make sure the card is not "locked" to read only.

 

i found out the problem, my phone could only read up 2 a 2gb card...datsz y the 4gb didnt read...buh thx for da help guysz.....

 

no prob,good u found de problem

 

Try reformatting the card. If it still doesn't work, some old phones don't read anything higher than 2GB.
