I installed my 2G SD micro card but my phone tells me I have less than 1GB free memory still. It seems to be installed right. Why isn't my phone recognizing the micro card? What can I do? Thanks.

What is the OS on your BlackBerry... Options > About, third line down beginning with "v.4.xxxx"

it is OS 4.2. i did edit permission, etc... it just is not being recognized as far as i can tell..?? i am starting to think its a bad memory card or that i damaged it when i at first did not know the correct way to install it. thanks for any help u can offer.

another unrelated Q - how come the red light to indicate a text stops flashing after a few seconds? I want it to stay flashing until i check the message. any ideas?

another unrelated Q - my phone cuts out a lot and i think its the software not the service. suggestions on a fix?

THANKS

first try by formatting ur memory card in bb only. if this doesn't work out just check ur sd card directly in ur system by using card reader.

u hve told that u want to see led to blink till u see the message you hve received. do this, profile-advanced-sms- and then there repeat notification-led flashing. so ur problem has ben fixed.

dear friend see i have suggested some usefull ans to ur both quest....

Card reader? not sure what that is. sorry - total newbie here.

I went to profile - advacned but i do not see SMS or anything...
I have OS 4.2 maybe this is why?

OK I found that and its already on repeat notification....?? But it doesnt repeat it very much in reality.

I just discovered I have the 8310. Thought I had 8300.
So my phone told me "media card detected" suddenly after I installed hours ago... yet this VR+ voice recording program tells me I have less than 1 MB of free space when I try to record and does not let me record at all. My card is 2 MB (or GB?) though. and when i go to options - media card - it tells me 1.8 GB is my total and free space.

do you think my memory card is working and its VR+ thats the problem?

thanks again everyone!

vanessa, 1.8 is normal. It has to do with the definitions used by the hardware manufacturers. Don't worry about it, it's normal.

vanes:
1. 1.8 is correct for your media card of 2GB size.

2. Your blinking red LED will blink to alert for about 15 minutes after the SMS is received. If you want longer, look at third party application BBAlerts.
