sd memory issue

i have an 8gig memory card, but when i store more than 1gig, the cellphone deletes the rest of it, and only keeps that 1 gig.

Is the card read only?How about formatting it,then trying to use it?

No. I've tried with two cards. It's not the card. It must be some setting I'm missing.

I am not aware of that kind of settings.Do you use any app for managing your memory?

No. I just connect it to my pc. And copy files. For.example 5gig music. But.when i. Disconnect the cell, i see it only has about 1.4 gig, and rest is deleted.

This could be a software bug.What about reset to factory settings,have you tried it until now?

your memory card is crupt or it have write protection so solution is 1)format card using card reader via pc 2)if above not work then format in another mobile 3)buy new sd card

I have exactly the same problem, i have this phone for 3 weeks now and spent more than 100 hours on this problem. very disapointed...

not possible to write to the sd card when it is in the phone (not possible for the camera to save a picture on the sd for example and not posible to copy any files from the pc) seems 'write protected' or something but the micro sd has no physical write-protect switch.

when i copy jpg's on the micro sd using an USB adapter, everything looks fine until i put the sd card in the phone: the phone modifies the jpg file and puts parts of different pictures into one file.

when i copy mp3's on the micro sd using an USB adapter, everything looks fine until i put the sd card in the phone: the phone modifies the mp3's and you get 3 or 4 parts of different songs in one mp3 file.

when i check the sd card again using the usb adapter, the old files are overwriten with this mess.

tried to check the sd card with the app SDCardTester but this gives me the error message 'no permission to write to sdcard1'

allready formated and error checked the sd card with the pc using the USB adapter...

😞

What sd card do you have?Is it micro sdhc?Try to low level format the card.

Have you tried low level format?There are some incompatibility issues for some cards with sony devices.

I'm formatting again at 29.8GB, fat32, standard cluster size (full format, not a quick format) but this will take an hour or so. Did this allready 3 times...

I said low level format,not quick format.Low level format is a way of formatting that is more powerful and deep than normal formatting.
