I have a sony 1gb ms pro duo (though i think it's fake). I was transferring files earlier from the PC to it using the USB cable when suddenly I can't view the files inside the memory stick. I unplugged the USB cable and my phone seem to not detect the ms too. Btw, I'm using an SE K750i.
Whenever I plug in my USB cable, the PC detects that there is an external memory, and when I double click it, there's a warning that it is not formatted.
Whenever I try to format the MS using the PC, and unplug the USB cable, the phone will be able to recognize the MS - for a few seconds after accessing it via File Manager. Meaning when I try opening the Memory Status, it will detect 1GB of external memory for a while, then it will be undetectable again. I have to repeat the process of formatting my MS via the PC. I also tried formatting the MS via my phone, there's a dialog box saying formatting complete, but when I access it, the phone doesn't recognize that there's an external memory plugged in.
Does anyone have a solution for this? Or experiencing the same problem? |

Not much you could do about it.
If it was a genuine stick, you shouldn't experience the problems you're describing.
If you're lucky, maybe you could return it, otherwise you're stuck with a fake stick.
Did you get it from ebay? |

@ziggy - Looks like we both BOUGHT a fake 1 GB memory stick dude . . . though my PROBLEM then was, I am having problems everytime I am taking some SHOTS with the camera, the shutter button is kinda hard to press or there are TIMES that I have to make DOUBLE-takes in order to have the desired images . . . captured  Though everything is OK when I am viewing the images taken in the folder. I have it replaced since it's under WARRANTY . . . and everything went FINE after that.
Since you BOUGHT your unit, 2nd hand . . . you have no recourse here but to get another ONE (memorystick-BRAND NEW one if possible), this TIME make sure it's the GENUINE that you will be gettin' OK? Good Luck !

Sorry to hear that guys. The only silver lining I could offer is that 1gb MSDP's are now pretty inexpensive as most could be had for less than $40USD (maybe cheaper with sales or mail-in rebates and such). |

Not to sure about that. My friend MS is bought from Sony shop and is dead within a week. The thing is ALL memory can fail and some without warning at all. Just replace it if you can. |

what file format do you guys see when you click on the memory stick via Explorer of your PC? I can still format my MS via my PC but maybe FAT isn't compatible with the phone. Do you guys know what software I can use to format it via PC? |
