Like title say id like to find out how do i format my MicroSD card on my phone and/or computer while connected to phone.
thanks for help
i want to bring this topic to front once more and for the last time. the deal is my card is corrupted so i have to format it- deleting broken files dont help.
any ideas?
Get a program that does it for you like Resco Explorer. An alternative (which you don't seem to want) is to insert the card into a card reader connected to a computer and format that way in "My Computer."
i dont have a card reader and resco explorer is payable isnt it? thanks for your answer

"cant format selected storage card. check if card is unlocked." in Resco when i press format. everything is unloaded, i tried to format the moment i put the card in... any ideas?
I have the same problem, i can still use the files on my card, but cant remove/format them or add any new files. for some reason my card is write protected, though it doesnt have a physical switch. For some reason there is a software lock that is activated by unkown reasons, it happend to mine by disrupting file synchronising by pulling the cable out of the phone... (or at least that is what i think.
I have searched the internet for many hours, i have read about people with the same problem. only solution is: return it to the point where you bought it and use your warrenty, I believe it is like 3 years. I cant do it because i threw away the receipt. So only option left for me is buy a new card... they arent that expensive anyway these days....
So if someone does know a solution please let me know, but I dont think there is any...

PS. i have sandisk 8gb
You two have 2 options:
1. Use trial verison of Resco
2. Or, take the MicroSD card out and use a USB card reader and mount it in the PC and format it thru Windows.
I used the 2nd one.
first option doesnt work cause (if you read my and teunl's post) resco cant format it
second option doesnt work if you dont have a card reader. cause i only have one 8GB card and i dont see any reason to have a usb card reader when i have a usb connection to my phone.
so.. any other options please? thanks!

Yeah, well now you have a reason. Go down to Best Buy and pick up a card reader they're only $19.95.

Yeah, I have that same problem. Can't format, neither using Resco Explorer nor a card reader, can't copy files, delete files, move files, anything... but my files are still there! Any changes I apply to the card, if I soft reset my Cruise they are gone, but I can still see my files.
Seems to me that the card's FAT is corrupt or stuck, and can't be modified. Mine still has warranty, so I'll have to use it.
BTW, it's a Sandisk too, SDHC 6gb.
i dont have a warranty anymore so i can throw all 8GB away? come on stop acting stupid and let someone who has any clue about this to say something

Not to be rude, but with your time wasted here you can pick up a new 8gb microSD card with a reader on Ebay for $15.75 US dollars. Look up auction item 320324507199.
Hello, I also had the same problem but only until I have put on my phone the latest official HTC Rom. I was curios what happened and I have seen that with the new ROM when I insert the storage card into the phone automatically it's created on it a file named "EncFiltLog.menc" (it dose not matter if you install the new ROM with the card inside or not). I believe this file is the cause why we can not format the storage card (I can see this file on the PC when I place the storage card in the card reader). I have search the web for a solution but I had found nothing, so for me the solution was to buy a card reader and now I can format the storage card and copy files on it much more faster than via activesync. I hope I was helpful.

do i have to repeat myself? -.- i aint buying new card or card reader to read one single card in its lifetime. i dont have big daddy to budget me. i rather sell my TC
..
now that i see cicads answer it seems that i aint getting any usefull help here. thanks everyone for your kind of help, tho i cant call "throw away 25 euros and waste another, and if you get lucky in a year or so you will have to waste yet another 25 euros etc" help to be helpfull
DEEP regards
Like i said before, there isnt any solution available... I have searched the internet, forums etc etc etc....
If your problems are the same as i discribed, then your just ****ed.. card is corupted. if it happened because of the official htc rom that would suck
though i have a card reader, but it still doesnt work for me.
corrupted card=no solution as of yet. Well unless you include warranty and throwing it away and buying a new one.
Sorry but as far as I know there isn't anyone who can help you (and me) if you ever find a solution, let me know.
Good luck

Ok, let's cut to the chase: your card is corrupt, and there's nothing you can do about it. You won't be able to format it in any way. Well, you can always try tools like HP USB disk storage format tool, but you have to buy a cheap $5 USB card reader first.Anyway, I doubt it'll work.
You don't have warranty? Pitty. Yeah, throw away your 8gb card, and buy another one.
Are you angry about that? I would be too. Well... s%|t happens, live with it.

ROFL ok someone sticky this please, really useful material in here
and btw Einstein, its not the card that is corrupt its the data
Hi, I'm Chris from Malta and I just got my White HTC G1.
I'm still getting to use it and to its million functions and would any help from others who have the same mobile. I
have 2 major problems at the moment :
1) I can't access the numbers saved on my sim card, anyone knows if there is any setting ?
2) I can't connect with other users throuh bluetooth, they told me there is a setting but can't find it !! Any help would be appreciated.
All the software that you installed and other that u didnt etc.
Any Upgrades available ?
Thanks
Chris
1) Goto your contacts and hit the Menu button. There will be an option for importing your SIM card data.
2) At your desktop screen press Menu then go into Settings. Everything for Bluetooth is under the Wireless Controls.
Honestly the first thing I did was I rooted my phone. It's a simple process just follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Reason I did that is because I wanted to install apps to my SDcard, give me access to themes, and give me the ability to tether my 3G connection to my laptop via wifi so I can play games like World of Warcraft on the go.
As for apps its up to you what you find useful. Personally I like Advanced Taskmanager (if you can't buy it I'm sure you can find the free version "Taskmanager for Root Users" somewhere but keep in mind you need a root'd phone for it), SnapPhoto (free version), ShopSavvy, Last.fm, Twidroid, and Locale.
Thanks a lot for answering Ron Overdrive
Managed the Contact thing but not the bluetooth one !! I mange to pair with others but not connect !!! Any help ?
Thanks
Chris
Bluetooth on the G1 is still a work in progress. Only two profiles are supported currently. Headset and handsfree. You will probably have to wait for google to send out an update before you can connect to other peoples phones over bluetooth.
Memory card
I'm trying to put music on my memory card inputted on the G1 but after putting the usb cable in its telling me to insert a disk into drive G when the memory card is already inside !!!
Can you help me please ?
Thanks
Chris
on your phone scroll down the notification bar.
click on the usb connection and mount your phone
out of point
not really about the subject but i just wanted to point out i'm from Gudja, i got my dev phone last December and i switched to Melita on the 6th February, I wanted to ask chris : How has it been with GO? did you get a monthly plan? and was the phone unlocked when you bought it?
thanks
Digirhino
Hi Digirhino, I'm with go on a pay as you go service. Got the phone locked, unlocked it through a code from the seller and the rest all ok.

Thanks

In regards to your GPRS query...
3G operates on two levels, 3G and HSDPA.
When you switch 3G off, you go onto the GSM network, which has GPRS and EDGE.
This means, when you switch 3G off, your phone will automatically show the strongest signal, such as GPRS.
When at work, my phone will display 3G, but if i'm out in the sticks, i'm lucky if I get GPRS.
With the phone displaying the network, don't worry about it, your not charged till you use the network, its more informational to you for when you wish to use it.
As for MSN, I used PocketMSN, which I believe I downloaded from here, which works on my handset just perfectly.
Your SD card, where did you buy it from, is it an original card?
I know when I bought my phone, I had to update the WM version, as I wanted to use an 8GB card in it. Wish I could have more, so looking into that stuff now, but may just wait till I get my staff phone from work.
Don't know about anything else tbh, as still learning.
If you're running a stock rom then its probably WM5, it won't recognise anything larger than a 2Gb card, Its not SDHC compliant (which is what your 4Gb card is). You either need to search for and install the wm5/6 sdhc patch or install a later ROM version, WM06/6.1/6.5. You can find these in the WM06 part of the Hermes forum.
Cheers...
Remember to read up on how to Upgrade the ROM in your Hermes. Use the search function. You'll need to Hard SPL it first... GO to the upgrade section and upgrade it to Hard SPL V7 BEFORE you try any other roms so you have a measure of protection if (and when) things go wrong...

It resets all of your settings (EVERYTHING) and deletes all information/data stored to your phone's memory (not your SD card). You will need to back up anything you want to keep and reinstall all of your programs. It's basically like starting with a brand new phone with nothing on it.
it put the device back in the state it was when it was bought
how do you back everthing up on your memory card ...will i loose phone numbers in my sim ....also how do you do a hard reset
