hi,

i am having a problem with SD cards (tried sandisk ultraIII 2 GB and PNY 8 GB SDHC cards (class4)) on my n800 - both OS2007 and OS2008.

when i boot the thing, both cards are accessible.

when the system is suspended and woken up, the cards are no longer recognised. it doesnt happen always but the length of time the system is suspended seems to increase the chances that they are not recognised.

mount shows them to be still mounted.

there are two ways to get out of this sitiuation:

1. shutdown and reboot (has worked everytime)
2. pull out the card and re-insert. works most of the time but on one ocassion i had a the internal memory card getting corrupted and had to reformat. sometimes i get a card corrupted or unformatted message and either re-insertion or reboot fixes it.

cards are formatted FAT32

does anyone have a similar problem?

thanks.

hello steve,

i saw in some link that the problem is 'fixed' in some later firmware release. if so, do you know where to get it? i have tried the latest from nokia site.

my biggest frustration with this problem is that i am unable to contact nokia - i am living in sweden these days and their tech support number is really lousy - twice i have been put on hold for over an hour when i have hung up. they dont have an email address for support and their online query system expects to have a mobile phone serial number and wouldnt accept any of the n800 numbers (WLAN MAC etc).

strange for a company that produces consumer goods. unbelievably unresponsive.

does anyone know how to get in touch with nokia?

tears,

Bazmi,

For what it's worth, I upgraded to the OS2008 Beta last week and the issue has not resurfaced. So, it sounds like it is a software issue that will be resolved with a firmware upgrade.
