Re: Memory Card + Messenging
 

which format has the card? ntfs, fat, ext?

go to your preferences -> textinput -> uncheck wordcompletion
(don't know the exact english names because i'm from germany ^^)

I was just using it with sony xperia x1 keyboard failed so I switched to n900. So it's NTFS the same that windows uses

should I format it to a different one? since maemo is linux?

Re: Memory Card + Messenging
 

I'm sorry it's FAT32.

Re: Memory Card + Messenging
 

because NTFS is a closed format (owned by m$) and it's only available reverse engineered by some people i would say: yes, definately.

the native format for the n900 would be ext3.
(it's open and there is a driver for windows too -> http://www.fs-driver.org/faq.html#acc_ext3)

but you can also format your card with fat32.
then you wouldn't have to install drivers on your windows computer.
edit: maximum file-size about 4gb!

choice is yours. :)

Yes sorry I replied late it's FAT32 on my CARD sorry for that.

Re: Memory Card + Messenging
 

mhm... the n900 should actually automount FAT32 cards... strange (but there seems to be some difficulties with automounting)

as i said before... i would use ext3 if you ask me what to use ^^

Re: Memory Card + Messenging
 

^ thanks again but I have no idea how to convert it to fat3. Using Windows 7 Care to help me out?

Re: Memory Card + Messenging
 

no chance to format anything to ext under windows.
you need a linux live cd.

in my opinion gparted is genius and i always use it to resize some partitions and format them. it has a minimalistic gui. but i don't know if it detects card readers...

mhm... otherwise you could download any other live cd... for example ubuntu 9.10... it should detect all of your hardware correctly and there shouldn't be any problems... and if there are any problem... just google... the ubuntu community is very big and you'll find several solutions for most of the problems just by searching for "ubuntu explain your problem in short" ^^

but it's strange that the n900 doesn't recognize the FAT32 card. maybe you want to try a reformat to FAT32 first. :)

Re: Memory Card + Messenging
 

I am now updating the firmware on n900 when im done maybe it will be fixed. I will let you know.

Re: Memory Card + Messenging
 

After firmware update it does get recognized in terminal and everything but still under file manager it wont :(

even when I upload pictures via facebook it shows memory card...

Any ideas guys?
