Hi.

My little brother has this phone and I gave him a 2 GB Transcend card for the phone. When we insert the new card we are not able to format it. The option for formatting (located under gallery->options) is disabled on the menu and it says you can only read the memory card. The card does not accept any file transfers without formatting it. The old Nokia 64 MB card works just fine.

Is there a way around this? Firmware version is 5.10.

Thanks for any and all help!

That's weird because it is clearly stated here that the 6233 supports 2gb cards

Firstly: You can try putting the card in a card reader and use a PC to format it then put it in the phone and see how it behaves

If this doesn't work check if the writing on the card says 2GB SD or if it says 2GB SDHC

Some say this is the same thing, I believe it isn't.

Reason being that 2gb is the highest capacity SD card and the lowest capacity SDHC.

It's possible that if your hardware is not compatible with SDHC it might not be able to read the card.

Might not be completely true but it's definitely worth looking at

Thanks for the reply.

I checked and it is a 2 Gb SD -card, so no help there.

I've instructed my brother to contact the vendor of the phone for assistance. I'm hoping that they can come up with a solution.

But should any new ideas arise in the meanwhile they'd be greatly appreciated.

A 2GB card can't be an SDHC card. They start as of 4GB.

Can you be sure that the card is a genuine Transcend card and not a knock-off sold as the genuine article via eBay or similar?

The card was purchased from a home appliance shop, so I think that it was genuine. My brother went there today and tested another identical card and it did not work either. So they tested a Kingston 2 Gb card which worked, so he got that one as a replacement. This makes me think that it has got to be a compatibility issue with 2 Gb Trancend cards.

Thanks for all replies. Case closed.

The 6233 is not compatible with SDHC cards. The largest capacity memory card you can use with it is a standard SD card of 2GB.
