2GB miniSD problems

Have Cingular 8525 phone with 2GB miniSD and it is only recognized by software when I use File Explorer. It will not add on to drop down menues nor will my MP3's on it be found by Media Player. Any ideas?

8525

I agree that the 8525 needed more time in engineering. I am on my second one from AT&T, having exchanged the first under warranty. The screen goes blank, incorrect functions pop up (press the phone button and the camera turns on), has charging problems, etc. Plus, the 8525 does not function well as a telephone. The phone is nearly impossible to dial with one hand as I did my RAZR. Also, the voice command options are unreliable. Say Home or Mom and it interprets this as Thom (a friend). Thom is getiting really ticked off. I feel like I got bent over badly when I purchsed the 8525.

"I had the same problems you did. I had to replace my 8525 under warranty (fortunately) for the same reasons you did. They insinuated I dropped it or damaged it in some way and if they got it and discovered that, they would charge me almost $500. I sent it in and never heard back so I guess it was okay. I really agree with your comment about the voice commands; I'll say Jack and it will dial Richard. When you use it as a phone you have to hold it away from your face otherwise it opens all kinds of programs and tries to connect to the Internet. If I know I'll be talking for awhile, I try to use my bluetooth earpiece which is better for me but sometimes the person I'm calling isn't happy."

Which voice command software are you using? If you are using the Cyberion application that comes with the phone, then I can understand your issues. I purchased Microsoft's Voice Command 1.6 years ago and it works much better. It's $40, but it adds true voice dialing. Instead of recorded tags like on Cyberion, you can actually say "Dial 555-555-5555" and it will dial the number. Or if you have your contact's name stored, you can just say "Call mom on mobile" or say "Call Bob at work". It also reads out your appointments, incoming callers, new email headers etc.

1. 8525 takes micro SD cards not mini, so unless that was a typo, you got the wrong card.

2. the 8525 only recognises up to 1gb of memory card usage. i had to learn the hard way that a 2gb micro SD card would be useless with a 8525
