Hi all,

does anybody own a Sony Walkman Phone and has similar problems (and a solution)?

I have a W850i here which is working fine besides of everything that has to do with the Memory Stick.

It has a Memory Stick adapter and a 512 MB Micro SD card.

Sometimes everything is working fine and then suddenly the phone does not recognize the memory card anymore.

For example you are listening to some music and the suddenly it says "Playback failed".

Then if you check the file manager and select "Memory Stick" it says "No files".

Same thing happens sometimes after a restart of the phone.

So this is not a permanent problem and is generally solved by restarting the phone.

But of course this cannot be right and is pretty annoying.

The memory card works perfectly in the card reader in my notebook.

Thanks a lot

My friend was having problems with the memory stick in his PSP, turns out the memory stick was a fake. It seems there are quite a few fake Sony memory cards floating around, many available on e.bay. Maybe you have a fake one.

Move all the data off it, and reformat using a M$ FAT utility. Replace data.

Or its fake.

could dirty contacts be a problem?

I had it with a Sony digicam, cleaned the contacts of the memory card and inside the camera and it has done fine ever since.
