I have an 8GB memory card.
When I go to Options>Media Card
It says Total Space: 3.3GB
Why doesn't it say 8GB??

You have to format the card

Will that delete everything on the memory card already?

Do you have a lot of pics, videos, etc on it? Did you format it when you put it in your phone? If not you can format it by going to options>media card>menu>format card. Hope this helps...

And you probably need to upgrade your OS version. Version 4.3 and higher support 8GB.

Yes

You can move it over to the PC first and then format, return it to the card. Use mass storage mode on the card and drag and drop from windows if you dont have a card reader on the PC..

Yes, it will. You should copy the contents onto your computer BEFORE you format it.

I formatted the card and it still says Total Space: 3.3GB

What is your OS? options>about or alt - shift - h? See Post #5

Formatted it in the BB or on the PC?

[elizabethnicole23]

There is a ton of info on here.
Is there anymore directions to find what the OS is?

[elizabethnicole23]

It says: v4.2.170 (Platform 2.5.0.30)
