My Samsung Gravity won't format my 4gb MicroSD PNY memory card, but when I go to format it on the computer, it says "formatted complete". I put it in my phone and it still ask me to format it, when I click yes.. it says error! please help

Hi,

The problem might be that the card is password protected, i recommend you switch it to the unlocked position and then use a computer to format the memory card and do a full format not the quick format.

hope this helped.

Go to or search for MiniTool.Theres an app to format any drive.

your samsung Gravity 2 wont read the HC format, there is not much you can do sorry. the SD HC is a newer format for devices in the last year or so. Older devices will not accept the HC format cards. I did the same thing! And im in the business, easy mistake. Keep it around though you'll use it soon, just not in your Samsung. Gurvy

format it

you can formate it first you right click on my computer the go to manage option and then go to disk management and then write click on your memory card drive and then go to option format


this will 100% be usefull

You may have the card locked so that the format isn't taking. Verify that there isn't something that is physically preventing the format. If the slide is in the locked position move it to the opposite side.

Make sure that the microSD card is formatted. You may reformat the memory card using your phone and then try saving some music.

If that will not do any help, try using another microSD card to see if the card is defective.

Have a great day!

The samsung gravity does not support HC cards. I had the same problem and purchased a regular MicroSD card and it works fine. hope this helps.

1
Insert your memory card into your computer's reader if you have one. If not, you can purchase a multi-format USB Memory Card reader from Amazon.com or Buy.com
2
Open up 'My Computer'. You should see it under the list of available drives.
#3
Check its contents first to make sure that you have the right drive.
4
In 'My Computer', right-click on the drive and choose 'Format'.
5
Leave all the options as they are and click on 'Start'. This is a non-reversible process so make sure this is what you truly wanted to do in the first place.
6
Once the process is completed, take the memory card out and insert it into your Digital Camera or any other device. Try to browse to it to make sure it works fine now.

I doubt that your phone accepts the 4GB version of the micro sd card, try the 2GB
