E71 Memory Card Frustrations [solved]

My problem described in my previous blog post is solved!

Well, solved is not really the good choice I guess because the problem might reproduce itself. But for now it seems to be solved. What did I do to fix it?

I backed up all the contents of my memory card to a folder on my pc. After this I reformatted the entire card and copied the contents back. Now the gallery, sounds, profiles, ... All is working as it should. For some reason my cellphone seemed to have corrupted the card. Or not really the card, but something on the card?

If the problem reproduces itself I'm going to contact Nokia, a cellphone that cost me 400 euro should not behave this way!

E71 Memory Card Frustrations

I'm getting really frustrated with my Nokia E71. Check out my description of a weird issue:

My Nokia E71 won't find/see the following stuff:

  • Images saved on the memory card with the Symbian Gallery
  • Sounds saved on the memory card with the Symbian Gallery
  • Ringtones saved on the memory card in Profiles

However, it will find/see:

  • Images saved on the memory card with third party apps or the Symbian File Manager.
  • Sounds saved on the memory card with third party apps or the Symbian File Manager.
  • Ringtones saved on the memory card with third party apps or the Symbian File Manager.

Conclusion:
My memory card is NOT corrupted because I can entirely read it with third party apps or the Symbian File Manager or on my PC. So it's probably a software issue.

However:
Restoring to default settings with *#7780# or even doing an entire reset with *#7370# will NOT solve the problem.
I'm currently in the process of backing up my memory card so I can format it and restore it again.

Nokia?!
What the f*ck is up here?!
