Have tried to insert card. Phone says "A media card is not presently inserted in the device.
Have formatted in another Javelin, which it works in just fine, but put it back into my phone and won't work.
Have looked at software version, and mine was newer than the phone it worked on, but no other difference.
Is there anything else I can try? It came with a 1GB card that works fine if I swap back, but 1GB isn't large enough.

i believe that any 4.6 OS or greater can recognize up to 32 GB for the SD card.

it could possibly be a bad card....

I have had a similar issues, where a SD card was labeled as 8GB but under 3 different computers (and 4 different OS's) and an 8320 and an 8900 it showed up as a 2 gb card.


i just assumed that the card was mislabeled (or couterfit/fake/purposefully relabeled...etc)

Thanks, but tried another 8GB card that was working in another Javelin, in mine and that didn't work either??
I am assuming there is something within the phone that is preventing it from reading the 8GB card. Suppose i could try something smaller?

[somerandomguy]

so you know for sure that the 8 gb card was working in the other 8900?

what build of OS did it have?

[clivemo]

V 4.6 same as mine.

That is soooo weird. I have no idea why the full 8 gb works in 1 phone but not the other.

up until a few days ago my 8GB SD card worked just fine in my curve 8310 and now it won't recognize it and when it does recognize it it says it cannot format it. totally not happy about this.
I put in an older 4GB SD card and that one is working but non of the stuff that is on my 8GB was restored???? what am I doing wrong? Do I need to bite the bullet and get a new phone or is it cheaper and easier to try fix this problem???
thanks.

to be honest, i have no idea!

this is a problem that ive never really had ( i jsut put a 4gb card in and have never had to really switch a card out...)

but my advice, curvedconfused, is to start a new thread...

the more people that see this issue the more likely you'll get somebody that knows ow to fix this.

sorry i cant help

sounds link a problem with the handset, try a 6GB card and see if that works, if not the definitely the phone.

But that is a little concerning; a friend of mine recently brought me an 8gb card that his 8310 only say as 2 gb... Even though his os was greater that 4.3, his phone only saw 3 gb. Same with my phone and all the other computers we tried it in. It soundslike the card is the screwed up part, but still; I'd really like to know for sure that my device is fine.

I don't think the 8310 is not able to handle HCSD. I too am having the same problem with my Javelin though. I have a 1GB which works fine but the handset will not recognize the 4GB I have purchased. Hope somebody can help.
