My micro sd 1gb was formatted but the card appeared to have 0kb space available, what should i do/

sd card need to be formatted to FAT32 on a pc windows 7 and 8 don't do this any more so you will need to download a formatting tool, then format it to FAT32 and then pop it in the unit you wnat to use it with.

There are 2 storage in just about every smartphone or tablet. There is an internal storage, usually about 1gb. or 2gb. And there an internal SD storage, which is not same as the external micro sd card. RAM stands for Read Access Memory, it will not work as storage. Now, when you download an app it is usually save in the internal storage. If you move an app without an external micro sd card inserted, you are moving them to the internal SD storage. If possible got to setting>storage and check how is the storage divided, if you insert the external micro sd card it should display 3 separate bars. Also, another way to move apps and other things around is by using ES File Explorer. Check that out first and I hope you do resolve the problem, best of luck.

it means that the memory card's sector is damaged by a virus infection...try to delete the files while in the mobile and then format it..if it agains appear the same then you've to buy a new card only

Hi 1123sun,

Copy your files off the card. Then Format the card and select FAT32 file system. After the format is done try the card again and see if you can copy more files to it.
