I have a Nokia E63. I'm unable to open the preinstalled programs on my Memory Card. I just got this unit 2 days ago. I can see the icons but I cannot open them. I believe the problem happened after the Device Lock/Remote Lock. When I enabled that, it says Memory Card is corrupted. So I disabled it and manage to access the Memory Card. I managed to transfer the pictures from the card to the phone memory. But the programs wouldn't open. Is there a way to recover these programs. Backups?

 I too see this problem. Solution is to remove the memory (memory card -> remove memory card) and then reinsert it.You have to do that once inevery two days to solve this problem, until you get a new phone :-)

This is not related to device lock/remote lock, as I don't use that.

Forgot to mention this, there is a workaround. Never install applications in memory card. I think it is not designed for that.

i agree with gopir. it doesnt have anything to do with device lock nor remote lock.

although i have disabled those two functions, i still encountered the problem.

as for the work around not to install any application in memory card, too bad for me, i got my e63 with some applications preinstalled in the memory card.

:-(

Just don't install programs or applications on the memorycard. Insert the card IN the phone and NOT on a PC or Mac to format. Remove the card by pressing the red button and choose remove card from the dialog option. If you insert the card later you should hear a short bleep.

@hadimasa: okay, now supposed I remove (uninstall) all applications preinstalled on my memory card, I won't get this kind of problem anymore?

I won't get the 'memory corrupted' any longer even though i re-enable the device lock and remote lock functionality?

NOT true...

Symbian was designed to allow applications to reside AND run on removable/additional memory (cards). There are some issues (here for example) with the .sis files (Symbian Installers) which are there so apps can be removed later.  

Don't be afraid to let win7 check and fix a corrupted memory card also, it will see the correct format of the card unless it's badly damaged.

MAKE SURE you remove the card by:

• going through the menu
  • Menu - Tools - Memory - (select) Options - Remove Memory card
  • Remove card

When the handset gets a bit flaky or slow, switch it off then back on again... Most of the time that should fix things like this...

 Also, make sure programs are launched from the menu/shortcut rather than the file explorer....

just a little update:

i need to put the phone / data protection into place, in case i lost my phone. so i decided to re-enable the device lock option and see if i get the 'memory corrupted' again.

here's what i did:

1.  changed the default lock code of 12345 to my own code. i played with my phone for one day and everything's okay.

2. the following day, uninstall all applications preinstalled on my memory card.everything's fine.

3. re-enable the device lock.

it's been a couple of hours now, and everything seems fine. i tried turning my phone off and back on, and the memory still doing fine.

let me wait til tomorrow. if everything's okay, then i will reenable the remote lock option, and see the result.

i will give an update here asap.

an update:

a day had passed with no problem whatsoever.

then i enabled the remote lock option.

checked the phone, everything's normal.

sent sms to E63 from another phone to remote lock the E63. E63 locked.

unlocked E63 by typing the device lock code.

checked the phone, everything's normal.

turned E63 off.

turned it on again... hey, it didnt ask me to type in the device lock code! normally, it will ask me the lock code everytime it is turned on.

checked the memory using file manager... voila! memory corrupted!

removed the memory card, restored it... and the memory back to normal (can be read).

turned it off again and then turned it on. and the memory corrupt again.

conclusion for my E63:

the problem doesnt have anything to do with installing applications on memory card.

it's gotta be the device lock and/or remote lock function.

nokia should do something about it.

hi, guys!

you might want to know this:

finally i can get rid of the 'memory corrupt' error that get displayed everytime i reboot my phone. and yes, i still have the device security (device lock and remote lock) enabled, and protected with my own password instead of the default.

here's what i did:

(note: this steps were taken after i enabled the device lock and remote lock)

1. backup (copy) the content of memory card to computer. i used the 'mass storage' mode for this purpose

2. disconnect the phone from computer

3. format the memory card using phone menu

4. restore the content of memory card from computer.

i tested my phone by restarting it (turn off, then turn on).

no "memory corrupted" error anymore.

so it seems the 'memory corrupted' condition occured because there's a conflict between default password and new password.

the memory card already contain data which is encrypted by the default password.

when we change the default password to our own password, the old data in the memory card still encrypted by the default password, but new data (new files) is encrypted using the new password.

by formatting the memory, we have a fresh memory, and all data stored in this memory is encrypted using the new password. no conflict.

well, that's only my guess.

:-D
