To view IMEI number *#06#To view Software Version enter -> * <- <- * <- * CLR (Use with Care)
To activate operator lock <- * * <- (This locks the phone to one carriers SIM card - Use with lots of care)
Press Yes to lock and No to notlock. You can also use the codes below to undo this function. USE AT OWN RISK
I have tested the function Lock to SP... At least on the 337 there's a submenu: Enter SPCK-code. There are 5 attempts, which is showed (05 attempts). At final attempt the phone beeps as a warning, 'this is the final try', when entering the menu... Wrong code exits the menu, so you are not stuck in something... When you have tried to enter the code (wrong) all five times, the menu is deactivated, and you'll get: 'Not allowed' when entering <-**<-
A "secret test mode" can be accessed on the GH337. There seems to be two methods:> * < < * > * displays software version, such as 940810 1310
> * < < * < * displays software version, such as 951024 1054
After entering this mode, the < and > keys scroll through a menu. There seems to be different menus for different versions of software.
Software version number are apparently a date and time stamp.
940810 1310 version commands:
TEXT CHECK - shows 254 messages in current language
INIT EEPROM MMI - resents NVRAM settings (User Settings).
Other, probably more recent version:
FLASH - will restart the phone, to the point of entering PIN numbers.You can't kill a 337 when pressing YES while it says "FLASH?", you must connect it to 5/12 volts first to be able to erase the flash-memory.
1-ROW TEXTS - scroll through 174 single line text messages with < and >
n-ROW-TEXTS - scroll through full-screen messages with < and >
950626 1405 version commands:
CXC (number) - The Application software's "product number". The GH337/GF337 is always "CXC 125 005"
PRG - Indication for Programming
Programming 337
Set ComPort to 9600bps, 8 data, 1 stop, no parity.
Power on phone by pressing "NO/ENDpwr".
When performing its powerup sequence the phone will send two ">>"
(ASCII 62 decimal) characters. Within 1 second, reply to it by
sending the 4 character sequence "TP1".
(I used Procomm Plus with this script "eric.asp")
[proc main ]
[start: ]
[ ]
[ waitfor ">>" ]
[ pause 1 ]
[ transmit "TP1^M" ]
If everything went fine you should get the "OK" prompt back.
Test the TEST PROGRAM by sending the commands terminated by a :
PROG 0 (shows Test Program product number info)
PROG 1 (shows Test Program product date info)
PROG 3 (Shows Main Application product number info)
PROG D (Shows Main Application product date info)
Programming Calculator and Channel Indicator/RBS
To enable, send the following:
EEWR 047A 01
Wait for the OK prompt, power off* the phone and disconnect it from the interface cables. Powerup and browse through the menus.
To diasable, send the following:
EEWR 047A 00
Clearing Electronic Lock
To clear the electronic lock you have to clear the EEPROM address range 045B to 0466 by sending the commands:
EEWR 045B 00
EEWR 045C 00
EEWR 045D 00
EEWR 045E 00
EEWR 045F 00

Disabling the Service Provider Lock
To disable send the following command:
EEWR 1587 00
To enable send the following command:
EEWR 1587 01
Experimental Commands - Use at own Risk
To dump the application software send the following:
PREA
Bank range : 00..7F
Address : 0000..BFFF
Bytestoread : 0000..BFFF
The "additional" value returned at the end are the checksum value
for the returned program memory bytes. Note, the byte-values are
always returned in format 0000 and NOT 00.
PREA FF
Returns the application checksum, takes a few seconds.
Notes on the PH 337
1. Calculator mode is NOT available on all PH sw versions.
2. Invoking Calc/RBS mode not available for GH337 sw versions below
R2A
3. SPCK attempts can be changed to 50 instead of the std 5 tries
4. The instruction LIME returns ERR but does not screw up phone
5. The instruction IMEI returns the IMEI no.
6. Pressing YES in response to FLASH? does screw up the unit.
COOL STUFF TO DO
Set ComPort to 115200bps, 8 data, 1 stop, no parity and watch all t
he phone commands on the screen and so on. Make a call and see what
happens as well as shutting down.

MOTOROLA PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES: Some units have dual NAM's.
The ESN prefix is 130 decimal, 82 hex.
Determine which access sequence to use:
HAND HELD PORtable MODELS
If the phone has a FCN button and no MENU button use sequence 1.
If the phone has no FCN button use sequence 2.
If the phone has a MENU button and a FCN button use sequence 4.
INSTALLED MOBILE PHONES AND TRANSPORtable MODELS
If the phone has no FCN button and no RCL button use sequence 3.
If the phone has a FCN button use sequence 4.
If the phone has a MEM button use sequence 5.
If the phone has a RCL button and no FCN button use sequence 6.
SEQUENCE# ACCESS CODE

4 FCN 0 (SECURITY CODE TWICE) RCL
5 FCN 0 (SECURITY CODE TWICE) MEM
6 CTL 0 (SECURITY CODE TWICE) RCL
The default security code is 000000. The CTL (control) button is the single black button on the side of the handset.
NAM programing:
1. Turn the power on.
2. Within ten seconds enter the access sequence as determined above.
3. The phone should now show "01" in the left of the display, this is the first programing entry step number. If it does not the security code is incorrect, or the programing lock-out counter has been exceeded. In either case you can still program the unit by following the steps under TEST MODE PROGRAMING below.
4. The * key is used to increment each step:
Each time you press * the display will increment from the step number, displayed on the left, to the data stored in that step, displayed on the right. When the data is displayed make any necessary changes and press * to increment to the next step number.
5. The SND key is used to complete and exit programing when any STEP NUMBER is displayed.
If you have enabled the second phone number bit in step 10 below then pressing SND will switch to NAM 2. Steps 01 thru 06, 09 and 10 will repeat for NAM 2, the step number will be followed by a "2" to indicate NAM two.
6. The CLR key will revert the display to the previously stored data.
7. The # key will abort programing at any time.

NOTES:
Take care with Motorola's use of "0" and "1". Some options use "0" to enable, some use "1".
1. This is a 6 digit binary field used to select the following options:
Digit 1: Internal handset speaker, 0 to enable.
Digit 2: Local Use Mark, 0 or 1.
Digit 3: MIN Mark, 0 or 1.
Digit 4: Auto Recall, always set to 1 (enabled).
Digit 5: Second phone number (not all phones), 1 to enable.
Digit 6: Diversity (Two antennas, not all phones), 1 to enable.
2. This is a 3 digit binary field used to select the following options:
Digit 1: Continuous DTMF, 1 to enable.
Digit 2: Transportable Ringer/Speaker, 0=Transducer, 1=Handset.
Digit 3: 8 hour time out in transportable mode, 0 to enable.
TEST MODE ACCESS:
INSTALLED MOBILE PHONES AND TRANSPORtable MODELS
To enter test mode on units with software version 85 and higher you must short pins 20 and 21 of the transceiver data connector. An RS232 break out box is useful for this, or construct a test mode adaptor from standard Radio Shack parts.
For MINI TR or Silver Mini Tac transceivers (smaller data connector) you can either short pins 9 and 14 or simply use a paper clip to short the hands free microphone connector.
HAND HELD PORtable MODELS:
There are two basic types of Motorola portable phones, the Micro-Tac series "Flip" phones, and the larger 8000 and Ultra Classic phones. Certain newer Motorola and Pioneer badged Micro-Tac phones do not have a "flip", but follow the same procedure as the Micro-Tac.
8000 & ULTRA CLASSIC SERIES:
If you have an 8000 series phone determine the "type" before trying to enter test mode. On the back of the phone, or on the bottom in certain older models, locate the F09... number this is the series number. If the FOURTH digit of this number is a "D" you CAN NOT program the unit through test mode, a Motorola RTL4154/RTL4153 programer is required to make any changes to this unit.
Having determined that you do not have a "D" series phone the following procedure is used to access test mode:
Remove the battery from the phone and locate the 12 contacts at the top near the antenna connector. These contacts are numbered 1 through 12 from top left through bottom right. Pin 6, top right, is the Manual Test Mode Pin. You must ground this pin while powering up the phone. Pin 7 (lower left) or the antenna connector should be used for ground. Follow one of these procedures to gain access to pin 6:
1. The top section of the battery that covers the contacts contains nothing but air. By careful measuring you can drill a small hole in the battery to gain access to pin 6, alternately simply cut the top off the battery with a hack saw. Having gained access use a paper clip to short pin six to the antenna connector ground while powering up the phone.
2. If you do not want to "destroy" a battery you can apply an external 7.5 volts to the + and - connectors at the bottom of the phone, ground pin 6 while powering up the phone as above.
3. You can also try soldering or jamming a small jumper between pins 6 and 7 (top right to lower left), or between pin 6 and the antenna connector housing ground. Carefully replace the battery and power up the phone. Use caution with this method not to short out any other pin.
4. A cigarette lighter adaptor, if you have one, also makes a great test mode adaptor as it can be disassembled to give you easier access to pin 6. Many are pre marked, or even have holes in the right location. This is because they are often stamped from the same mold that the manufacturer uses for making hands free adaptor kits and these kits require access to the phone's connectors.

MICRO-TAC "FLIP" SERIES
This phone follows similar methods as outlined for the 8000 series above.
Remove the battery and locate the three contacts at the bottom of the phone, the two outer contacts are raised and connect with the battery. The center contact is recessed, this is the Manual Test Mode connector.
Now look at the battery contacts, the two outer ones supply power to the phone, the center contact is an "extra" ground. This ground needs to be shorted to the test mode connector on the phone. The easiest way to do this is to put a small piece of solder wick, wire, aluminum foil or any other conductive material into the recess on the phone. Having done this carefully replace the battery and turn on the power, if you have been successful the phone will wake up in test mode.
TEST MODE PROGRAMING:
Assuming you have completed one of the above steps correctly the phone will wake up in test mode when you turn the power on. When you first access test mode the phone's display will alternate between various status information that includes the received signal strength and channel number. The phone will operate normally in this mode. You can now access Service Mode by pressing the # key, the display will clear and a ' will appear. Use the following procedure to program the phone:
1. Enter 55# to access programing mode.
2. The * key advances to the next step. (NOTE that test mode programing does NOT have step numbers, each time you press the * key the phone will display the next data entry).
3. The CLR key will revert the display to the previously stored data.
4. The # key aborts programing at any time.
5. To complete programing you must scroll through ALL entries until a ' appears in the display.
6. Note that some entries contain more digits than can be displayed by the phone, in this case only the last part of the data can be seen.

Steps 01 through 06 and 12 will repeat for NAM 2 if the second phone number bit has been enabled in step 11.
NOTES:
Take care with Motorola's use of "0" and "1". Some options use "0" to enable, some use "1".
These are eight digit binary fields used to select the following options:
1. (step 02 above, suggested entry is: 11101001 for "A" system, 10101001 for "B" sys)
Digit 1: Local use mark, 0 or 1.
Digit 2: Preferred system, 0 or 1.
Digit 3: End to end (DTMF) dialing, 1 to enable.
Digit 4: Not used, enter 0.
Digit 5: Repertory (speed) dialing, 1 to enable.
Digit 6: Auxiliary (horn) alert, 1 to enable.
Digit 7: Hands free (VSP) auto mute, 1 to enable (mutes outgoing hands free audio until the MUTE key is pressed).
Digit 8: Min mark, 0 or 1.
2. (step 10 above, suggested entry is: 00000100)
Digits 1 - 4: Not used in USA, enter 0.
Digit 5: Single system scan, 1 to enable (scan A or B system only, determined by bit 2 of step 02. Set to "0" to allow user the option).
Digit 6: Super speed dial, 1 to enable (pressing N, or NN SND will dial the number stored in memory location NN).
Digit 7: User selectable service level, 0 to enable (allows user to set long distance/memory access dialing restrictions).
Digit 8: Lock function, 0 to enable (allows user to lock/un-lock the phone, if this is set to 1 the phone can not be locked).
3. (step 11 above, suggested entry is: 00000000)
Digit 1: Handset programing, 0 to enable (allows access to programing mode without having to enter test mode).
Digit 2: Second phone number (not all phones), 1 to enable.
Digit 3: Call timer access, 0 to enable.
Digit 4: Auto system busy redial, 0 to enable.
Digit 5: Speaker disable, 1 to enable (use with select VSP units only, do not use with 2000 series mobiles).
Digit 6: IMTS/Cellular, 1 to enable (rarely used).
Digit 7: User selectable system registration, 0 to enable.
Digit 8: Dual antennae (diversity), 1 to enable.
4. (step 16 above, suggested entry is: 0011010 for portable and 0011011for mobile units)
Digit 1: Not used, 0 only.
Digit 2: Not used, 0 only
Digit 3: Continuous DTMF, 1 to enable (software version 8735 and later)
Digit 4: 8 hour time-out, 0 to enable (software version 8735 and later)
Digit 5: Not used, 0 only.
Digit 6: Failed page indicator, 0 to enable (phone beeps when an incoming call is detected but signal conditions prevent completion of the call).
Digit 7: Portable scan, 0 for portable, 1 for mobile units.
C-SCAN OPTION:
Newer Motorola phones are equipped with a feature called C-Scan, this is an option along with the standard A/B system selections. C-Scan allows the phone to be programed with up to five inhibited system ID's per NAM. This is designed to prevent the phone from roaming onto specified non-home systems and therefore reduce "accidental" roaming fees.
1. C-Scan can only be programed from test mode, power phone up with the relevant test mode contact grounded (see above).
2. Press # to access test mode.
3. Press 18#, the phone will display "0 40000".
4. Enter the first inhibited system ID and press *.
Continue to enter additional system ID's if required. After the 5th entry the phone will display "N2". Press * to continue and add system ID's for NAM 2 as required.
5. If an incorrect entry is made (outside the range of 00000-32767) the display will not advance, press CLR and re-enter. Use a setting of 40000 for any un-needed locations.
6. When the last entry has been made press * to store and press # to exit, turn off power.
LOCK/UNLOCK PROCEDURES:
Phones with "LOCK" buttons: Press lock for at least 1/2 a second.
Phones with a "FCN" button: Press FCN 5, note that 5 has the letter's "J,K, and L" for lock.
Phones with no FCN or LOCK button: Press Control 5, control is the black volume button on the side of the handset.
SYSTEM SELECT PROCEDURES:
Phones with a RCL button: Press RCL *, then * to select, STO to store.
Phones with no RCL button: Press Control * then * to select, # to store.
Options are: CSCAn: Preferred/Non preferred with system lockout.
Std A/b, or Std b/A: Preferred/Non preferred.
SCAn Ab, or SCAn bA: Non preferred/Preferred
SCAn A: "A" ONLY
SCAn b: "B" ONLY
HOME: Home only
(these are typical options, some phone's vary. C-Scan only available on newer models and does not appear unless programed, see above
GENERAL NOTES:
HANDSETS: Most Motorola handsets are interchangeable, when a handset is used with a transceiver other than the one it was designed for the display will show "LOANER". Some features and buttons may not work, for instance if the original handset did not have a RCL or STO button, and the replacement does, you will have to use the control * or control # sequence to access memory and A/B system select procedures.

Now look at the battery contacts, the two outer ones supply power to the phone, the center contact is an "extra" ground. This ground needs to be shorted to the test mode connector on the phone. The easiest way to do this is to put a small piece of solder wick, wire, aluminum foil or any other conductive material into the recess on the phone. Having done this carefully replace the battery and turn on the power, if you have been successful the phone will wake up in test mode.
TEST MODE PROGRAMING:
Assuming you have completed one of the above steps correctly the phone will wake up in test mode when you turn the power on. When you first access test mode the phone's display will alternate between various status information that includes the received signal strength and channel number. The phone will operate normally in this mode. You can now access Service Mode by pressing the # key, the display will clear and a ' will appear. Use the following procedure to program the phone:
1. Enter 55# to access programing mode.
2. The * key advances to the next step. (NOTE that test mode programing does NOT have step numbers, each time you press the * key the phone will display the next data entry).
3. The CLR key will revert the display to the previously stored data.
4. The # key aborts programing at any time.
5. To complete programing you must scroll through ALL entries until a ' appears in the display.
6. Note that some entries contain more digits than can be displayed by the phone, in this case only the last part of the data can be seen.

Steps 01 through 06 and 12 will repeat for NAM 2 if the second phone number bit has been enabled in step 11.
NOTES:
Take care with Motorola's use of "0" and "1". Some options use "0" to enable, some use "1".
These are eight digit binary fields used to select the following options:
1. (step 02 above, suggested entry is: 11101001 for "A" system, 10101001 for "B" sys)
Digit 1: Local use mark, 0 or 1.
Digit 2: Preferred system, 0 or 1.
Digit 3: End to end (DTMF) dialing, 1 to enable.
Digit 4: Not used, enter 0.
Digit 5: Repertory (speed) dialing, 1 to enable.
Digit 6: Auxiliary (horn) alert, 1 to enable.
Digit 7: Hands free (VSP) auto mute, 1 to enable (mutes outgoing hands free audio until the MUTE key is pressed).
Digit 8: Min mark, 0 or 1.
2. (step 10 above, suggested entry is: 00000100)
Digits 1 - 4: Not used in USA, enter 0.
Digit 5: Single system scan, 1 to enable (scan A or B system only, determined by bit 2 of step 02. Set to "0" to allow user the option).
Digit 6: Super speed dial, 1 to enable (pressing N, or NN SND will dial the number stored in memory location NN).
Digit 7: User selectable service level, 0 to enable (allows user to set long distance/memory access dialing restrictions).
Digit 8: Lock function, 0 to enable (allows user to lock/un-lock the phone, if this is set to 1 the phone can not be locked).
3. (step 11 above, suggested entry is: 00000000)
Digit 1: Handset programing, 0 to enable (allows access to programing mode without having to enter test mode).
Digit 2: Second phone number (not all phones), 1 to enable.
Digit 3: Call timer access, 0 to enable.
Digit 4: Auto system busy redial, 0 to enable.
Digit 5: Speaker disable, 1 to enable (use with select VSP units only, do not use with 2000 series mobiles).
Digit 6: IMTS/Cellular, 1 to enable (rarely used).
Digit 7: User selectable system registration, 0 to enable.
Digit 8: Dual antennae (diversity), 1 to enable.
4. (step 16 above, suggested entry is: 0011010 for portable and 0011011for mobile units)
Digit 1: Not used, 0 only.
Digit 2: Not used, 0 only
Digit 3: Continuous DTMF, 1 to enable (software version 8735 and later)
Digit 4: 8 hour time-out, 0 to enable (software version 8735 and later)
Digit 5: Not used, 0 only.
Digit 6: Failed page indicator, 0 to enable (phone beeps when an incoming call is detected but signal conditions prevent completion of the call).
Digit 7: Portable scan, 0 for portable, 1 for mobile units.
C-SCAN OPTION:
Newer Motorola phones are equipped with a feature called C-Scan, this is an option along with the standard A/B system selections. C-Scan allows the phone to be programed with up to five inhibited system ID's per NAM. This is designed to prevent the phone from roaming onto specified non-home systems and therefore reduce "accidental" roaming fees.
1. C-Scan can only be programed from test mode, power phone up with the relevant test mode contact grounded (see above).
2. Press # to access test mode.
3. Press 18#, the phone will display "0 40000".
4. Enter the first inhibited system ID and press *.
Continue to enter additional system ID's if required. After the 5th entry the phone will display "N2". Press * to continue and add system ID's for NAM 2 as required.
5. If an incorrect entry is made (outside the range of 00000-32767) the display will not advance, press CLR and re-enter. Use a setting of 40000 for any un-needed locations.
6. When the last entry has been made press * to store and press # to exit, turn off power.
LOCK/UNLOCK PROCEDURES:
Phones with "LOCK" buttons: Press lock for at least 1/2 a second.
Phones with a "FCN" button: Press FCN 5, note that 5 has the letter's "J,K, and L" for lock.
Phones with no FCN or LOCK button: Press Control 5, control is the black volume button on the side of the handset.
SYSTEM SELECT PROCEDURES:
Phones with a RCL button: Press RCL *, then * to select, STO to store.
Phones with no RCL button: Press Control * then * to select, # to store.
Options are: CSCAn: Preferred/Non preferred with system lockout.
Std A/b, or Std b/A: Preferred/Non preferred.
SCAn Ab, or SCAn bA: Non preferred/Preferred
SCAn A: "A" ONLY
SCAn b: "B" ONLY
HOME: Home only
(these are typical options, some phone's vary. C-Scan only available on newer models and does not appear unless programed, see above
GENERAL NOTES:
HANDSETS: Most Motorola handsets are interchangeable, when a handset is used with a transceiver other than the one it was designed for the display will show "LOANER". Some features and buttons may not work, for instance if the original handset did not have a RCL or STO button, and the replacement does, you will have to use the control * or control # sequence to access memory and A/B system select procedures.

Tips / undocumented functions:
- At the top of the main-menu and every folder, the keys 1 to 9 are shortcuts to the icons 1-9
- A shortcut on the left menukey in standby-mode will take more time to open than a shortcut on the right menukey. Reason: The left key is also used for the keylock so it shortly waits for pressing the * button.
- While writing text press and hold "#" to switch between Alpha mode and Number mode. You can also press a key long to insert its number.
- In standby-mode, press and hold 0 to launch your wap home page.
- If you have your keylock activated just press the on/off button to turn on your backlight to look at the time when it's dark without having to unlock the keypad.
- To keep the backlight on, run Torch (freeware), press and hold the Menu button and go somewhere else on the phone.
- To check your current firmware version simply type *#0000# in standby screen.
- To check your IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) type *#06# in standby screen.
- To check your Bluetooth device address type *#2820# in standby screen.
- Start up in Safe Mode (no 'auto start' apps will be running): Hold down the pencil key when you turn on the phone and hold it on until you have to enter your PIN code.
- Format the phone memory by typing *#7370# in standby screen.
- In standby mode,

Repairing A Corruptted MMC (S60)
Correct Treatment of your MMC:
Physically, memory cards are quite fragile pieces of high technology, susceptible to damage from various silly things like excessive heat, condensation, strong magnetic fields, physical damage from rough handling and/or bending! (similar to most electronic devices then..)
Given the natue of mobile memory card products, they are constantly being taken in and out of some form of interface with a mobile phone, a camera, a laptop, or desktop PC, or a separate memory card reader. The number of different devices they have to be able to interact with is in the thousands.
It is not too surprisingly, then that sometimes the state of the file system on the memory card can get damaged.
This may happen for a number of different reasons, including:
> removing the card from a device whilst an application is trying to read/write to it.. (Just be patient...)
> battery drain on a device whilst in use meaning an insufficent voltage failure whilst writing to the card.
> a poor implementation of the MMC standard on the device using the card
> poor connectivity software drivers on the device or the Windows PC/Mac
> physical damage like card or device being dropped, bent, getting wet etc...
> lots of others i am sure..
As often as not, the problem is not terminal for your memory card, but just a software issue ( or in physical terms, it could be called "a temporary disalignment of the all the bits and bytes on the card").
The fix for this problem is the same as for any other file storage device (like a floppy or hard drive) with corrupt or invalid file system, namely; re-format the file system.
Re-Formatting your MobyMemory MMC Card:
It is possible that your mobile will offer you the option of formatting the memory card if it is found to be invalid. (However, the likes of Nokia nGage, Nokia 6600, and Siemens Sx1 often just prefer to reject the media as corrupted).
In that case, to format the card, you will need access to one or more of the following:
> A Windows PC or Mac.
> A separate multi-format memory card reader (verify that it is compatible with the MultiMediaCard -MMC- standard).
> (This can come in USB or PCMCIA flavours. If USB, try and ensutre it is a USB2 device.
> Alternatively, many of the newest laptop and desktop PCs now come with integrated Multi-format memory card readers.
> If you are using a separate memory card reader, then connect it up to your PC, and let windows recgnize the device through plug-and-play.
Now you can insert your MobyMemory card into the appropriate slot in the memory card reader. (Please note that because the MMC card is pretty much symmetrical it is very easy to insert it upside-down in the slot).
Open up [Windows Explorer] (or the equivalent for MAC users..sorry not well-versed in OS X).
There should be at least one icon visible for a [Removable Drive] in the list of available drives. (in fact, there is often a list of about 5 or 6 Removable drives, one for each of the different Memory card formats that your reader is compatible with).
Find the drive that is mapped to the MMC card by clicking on each in turn until it confirms there is a drive present. (Sometimes it is easiest to do this by trying a fully-functional MMC card in the MMC slot first so you can confirm which drive letter it is.)
(NB. It will always be labelled as a [Removable Drive], don't mistake it for one of your PC hard drives like [C:] drive, as that could be catastrophic later on!)
At this stage it may give an error message saying that the drive is unreadable.
By right-clicking on the drive letter, it will provide the option of formatting the drive.
Select format the drive, and the [Format Drive] dialog will appear (Double-check again to make sure it not your [C:] drive!).
There is only one setting to focus on in this page, and that is to ensure that the FileSystem selected for formatting is the [FAT] option (not FAT32, or NTFS or any other option)
(Note: All mobile phones, to my knowledge, and most cameras (etc..) use the FAT file system (or at least are compatible with it) on their memory card media.)
Now click on Format Now ( ensure [Quick Format] is not selected as this will not actually restore the file system space byte by byte, but only resets the header information so the drive thinks its empty again. This may not be enought to solve your corruption problem.)
The PC will now - hopefully!- chug away happily until it has restored the memory card space back to its original configuration (of course, any information on there is long gone by now!).
If you recieve an error message back from the [Format Now] request, then your problem may be more permanent, and not just a software issue. In this case, it may still respond to a format request in a different memory card reader or device.
If you believe it to be a failure of manufacture, then the warranty on the card offers the prospect of a replacement card, subject to a confirmation of the fault upon return of the goods.
Physically, memory cards are quite fragile pieces of high technology, susceptible to damage from various silly things like excessive heat, condensation, strong magnetic fields, physical damage from rough handling and/or bending! (similar to most electronic devices then..)

Increase Your MMC Space (S60)
Your files in MMC are stored in multiple (disk) blocks.
So if you format using 16K block, the space used will be 16K eventhough your file is just 1K.
If you buy MMC, it is usually preformatted with 16K block. Therefore alot of space is wasted as most installed program files are usually less than 2K.
You will need a card reader to do this:-
1. Connect card reader and copy all your files in the MMC to computer disk. (Make sure you set the show all/hidden/os files to "on")
2. Do a format of the MMC using command line "format" and use the /A=size option.
Alternative, you can use the Disk Management in Adminstrative Tools to format. Make sure you select FAT. For 256MB MMC, smallest block you can use is 4K, 128MB is 2K, 64Mb is 1K and 32MB is 512B.
(Note: You cannot use the phone "format MMC" to do this as the format just clear the allocation table and does not change the block size)
3. Copy back all files to MMC.
Now you will find that you will have more space.
256mb MMC got back 30+ mbs
