    Ok this may sound like the same question over and over again but I need help! I cant listen to mp3's on my vx9800 through my 1gig mini sd card. I have read all the posts on this forum and other forums about how to fix this atleast a hundred times with no success. I've looked so much into this that I know there have been multiple "fixes" and i think i have tried everything so I wouldn't be wasting everybody's time posting another repeating problem. However Im about to break this phone.

    This is all I have tried for hours. reformatted the card through my pc and even through my phone with numerous power cycles and through the phone options. Putting the mp3's I have into the my_mp3_playlist folder however they work on my computer but not on my phone. putting the mp3 into every possible folder. I noticed i have all the folders such as my_pix, my_flix, my_sounds, my_music, however i dont have a strictly my_mp3 folder when i reformat my card only a my_mp3_playlist folder which i put mp3's into with no luck. I decided to make a folder called my_mp3 and put the fiile in it but my phone doesnt recognize the folder...like it doesnt exist however it knows its taken up memory on my card. This is driving me insane because all i want to do is listen to some darn music on my phone!

    Do i have a defected phone or am I missing something so simple that i keep overlooking. I wish the owners manual had a page for mp3's becauase i know it can play the files however it doesn't.

    Now my next question so I know im not thinking the 9800 cant do something im trying to make it...can this phone play downloaded mp3's or do you have to actually own the cd and convert the mp3 that way?


    Please help obiwan kanobe...your my only hope!

    If you try everything to get it to work, than you got a defective phone. You should take it in to have it fix or trade it in and get something else.

    Re: Please help im about to break my phone in half

    Well the easiest for me would be to take it back to verizon and have them look at it. Is there any way to troubleshoot which bad component is creating the problem? The cell phone or the sd card? By th way I used a SD adapter to plug it into my card slot for my pc...don't know if this could be messing things up either.

    I doubt a 1gb card came with the phone. Does the origional card work? try reformatting, try 3 tracks you know will work, put card in with phone off, turn phone on, read the users guide.

    Re: Please help im about to break my phone in half

    Your right it didnt come with any card at all...the 1gig SD i purchased yesterday. I put the SD card with the power off and started the phone with no luck. I put about 6 files in each different folder with the exception of the my_flix...below are the results of what I got. Seems like there is more going on...here is what I have found out to be able to transfer so far.

    Pics - I have no problem transferring through the my_pix file

    Flix - got family guy on SD card in mp4 format however it kinda freezes and "lags out" if you will. Like playing an online game where your connection is freezing up and it jumps from one spot in the film to another however you still here the sound. is this a problem for anyone else? Dont knwo if its the file or what. Will try another file in a bit.

    Sounds - Here is where it gets tricky...I have a song which i downloaded originally in wma format and it plays ok from my SD card through the My_Music folder. I felt I could be ok with converting all my music files into wma's...i dont care just as long as i get some music. Anyhow guess what. The wma's I converted dont play at all (PLYER ERROR unable to play "name of file") and I know since wma are less popular then mp3 I would have trouble finding songs in that format without paying for napster or something like that.

    I currently have SW Version T98VZV05 (dont knwo if thats better then version 2 or what...bought the phone less then a week ago.)

    Again I have no my_mp3 file specifically come up when i reformat only a my_mp3_playlist. Is this correct?

    I will post more info if needed and thanks to everyone who has tried to help TY!! Anymore suggestions will be much appreciated for I am willing to almost try anything.

    first, make sure the mini sd card you're using is properly formatted plug it into your pc and go to my computer and click the minisd card. right click the icon go to properties there should be a format option if the format is FAT32 reformat it to FAT

    then try to download different mp3 files, and since the vx9800 supports wma files go ahead and try those too

    if that doesnt work it can be a defective card or phone

    also make sure your phone hasa good charge b4 u try it

    and make sure your sd card is inserted
    Hey there!

    il mio nome è Maxwell e sono qui per testimoniare su carte bancomat vuote, ero alla ricerca attraverso internet in altri per trovare un finanziatore prestito, e mi sono imbattuto in un acticle su un blog parlando di carte bancomat vuote, non ho mai creduto a tutte queste cose la mia vita, ma a causa della mia attuale situazione di dover trovare un modo per pagare tutte le mie fatture in quel momento, ho deciso di fare un tentativo. Ma non credere a quello che è accaduto dopo, ho contattato gli hacker tramite l'indirizzo di posta elettronica fornito sul blog e ho ottenuto subito una risposta, mi è stato detto che la scheda può ritirare quasi 3000 dollari per ritirare, ero così felice di sentire che e chiedo quello che era il procedere per ottenere la carta, e mi hanno dato tutte le informazioni che mi servono. Ho preso un rischio molto grande solo per vedere come andrà a finire, ho pagato il costo di attivazione, che mi è stato chiesto di pagare e dopo che ho recivced una mail da una società di fornitura di inviare il mio Indirizzo dove volevo la mia carta di essere delievered a, l'ho fatto e mi è stato confidare in Dio che dovrebbe essere reale, dopo 48 ore ho ricevuto un pacco ed ecco che era una carta e libretto di istruzioni. mi sono collegato rapidamente in internet e ho fatto acquistare on-line con la carta e funziona e anche andato a bancomat più vicino per provare ed è anche lavorato. Sono così felice e libero da tutti i miei debiti. Grazie ad [email protected]~~V~~singular~~3rd è possibile contattare se avete bisogno di aiuto.
