Lg shine - cannot access micro SD card which i have inserted.

I have placed a micro SD card in my LG shine hoping to add music files. However it acknowledges that there is a memory card in, but will not let me access it or save to it. It mentions formatting the memory. Will this help? or will it just clear what is on it? (nothing because i've only just put it in). Please help girlfiends phone & she is doing my head in!

    My LG Shine recognizes that there is a micro SD card in, and that it has music files on it, but it won't let me do anything with the files. I tried to set one as my ringtone but there are no options for that. Is it the wrong file type or do I just have a bad SD/phone?

You must format the memory card in your phone. follow the instructions. It wont damage your card, you have to format it for it to be recognised by your phone. but any info on the card if it was used previously will be lost.

  • Anonymous Dec 26, 2007

    If you have forgotten your pin number, you'll have to keep trying untill it requires your PUK number (found on the plastic card where your sim was) if you dont have that either then you will have to reset the phone. I cant help you for this one sorry. good luck.

Yes, firstly you have to format your card as said above. Do this by going into settings, memory status, external memory, format, code is 0000, press ok. It should say complete, it is now formated.

To put songs on - first download your song or receive by bluetooth etc. They will automatically save to your phones memory so now you must send to your external memory. go into "my stuff", sounds, click on song, options, file, move to, external memory. Do not go into settings or multimedia as you cannot change them in here.

You need to go to settings and format you micro sd card. When the card has been completed, connect you usb cable to your phone. This will access the Micro SD card. In you computer go ahead and go to start, then press on "my computer", and then select the Micro sd card. you need to make sure you save all the song on the specefied folder or else it will not work. there is folder for video, audio, and images. Hope it works for you. it worked for me. Good luck.

You need to place all of the Music into appropriate folders, ie called what they are on the phone, ie if it says Music on the menu in your phone, Create a folder with the same name, and place files in there.

You'll need to format the phone on the PC and then re-format it on the phone to make it work on the phone... then for the unlock code you should try anything that she may have set even by accident.... if its not correct and you get locked out: call your service company (i.e. sprint tmobile, altell.) they can provide you with a code or they might be able to get you a whole new phone... tmobile has done both for me…. please rate my solution :) thanks

LG KC550 PC Suite Problem

I speant Hours swearing at my phone because it would not read my music files, Tried the card on many different phones which would take Micro SD and all other phones read the music Just not the LG KC550.


I found that getting a Micro SD dongle reader, Insterting your 2GB Micro sd card in that and then putting your music files into the "sounds" folder works.

Instructions.

1. Insert Micro SD card into Card reader.
2. Insert card Reader to Computer Via USB.
3. Go to my computer and Open the USB Card reader.
4. Select the Music files from your pc Via Copy files
5. Go to open Tab (Where you can see your Micro Sd card) Open the sounds folder and Paste.


If you are finding it hard to get the 5 folders of images, Documents, Sounds, others and Videos on your Micro SD card. Format the card by going My computer, Right click the Card reader (with you Micro sd card inserted) and click format. Takes a few seconds. Insert the card into the phone, the phone will auto put the folders on the card. Then go to step 1 (above) and start again.

Hope this Helps guys.

LG KC550

kk to add music make sure you syn the phone and the cp do the data and all then put .mp3 on all the media files and see if it works. Then if that doesnt go to computor format the card and then put it in the phone. Otherwise you need new stuff.

Lg Shine Flip Ringtones

-Make sure the file is appropriate.. 30 seconds or less, mp3 format
-When you add your music to the memory card, it shows up as a song but not as a ringtone right?


The solution is to create a different folder rather than using the “Music” folder the phoneautomatically creates for you. Transfer your music to this new folder you’ve created. The ringtones should show up as long as it fits the requirements

Hope this helps

I cant load music to my lg shine from my computer.. HELP!!!!!!

The LG Shine is a nice phone, but it is very disappointing with the USB cable.
You may expect the cable would connect the phone to your PC for Calendar Sync, music, videos etc.
Obviously, this will not work.
It will only allow you to hook your LG Shine to your PC to copy music and video files ONLY if you have a Micro SD card in the phone inserted.
After you have copied the files to the Micro SD card from your PC, you can copy them to the phone memory.

There are nice websites with free management programs for also the LG phone, but the Shine is unfortunately NOT listed (yet).

I just bought an LG shine but i don't know how to put my music on it.

You can only do that by using an additional Micro SD memory card that contains the music.
Once inserted in the LG Shine, you can play it from the memory card or copy/move it to the phone.

Lg shine - downloading music from my laptop

If you want to put music files from your laptop onto your LG Shine, you can either use a LG USB cable or a Micro SD Card.The Micro SD card will probably need an additional adapter to have it big enough for your Laptop or PC slot. Once the music files are on the Micro SD card, insert the card into your LG Shine and go to My Stuff". Then, select "Audio and ringtones" and select the file on your memory card. Press the "Options" button and select the copy function and paste it into your phone.
