N-Gage not detecting full capacity of MMC

2 replies · 2,230 views · Started 06 January 2004

I've got a 128MB MMC Card but when i pop it inside my N-Gage, it only says 122. Where's the other 6MB Gone? I've tried reformatting it a couple of times but it's still the same. Has anybody noticed the same behavior in your n-gage? Thanks in advance.

You're not loosing capacity, that's how memory cards work. One trick some companies use is to regard 1000K=1MB when we all know it's 1024K. That way they can say one size, and it;s slightlylower.

You;re doing it right, check the BYTE size of your formatted MMC.

Also, putting a file system (the name of the storage device, catalog/index of folders/directories and files + their names & attributes & other "housekeeping" info) also consumes space, which is not available for actual user data.
