Try your SD card in other mobiles and check whether it's detected or not.. If yes, format the card in that phone and then put the card in your Lumia.
Wait for sometime (sometimes a bit long) .. It will get detected..

memory card works well with my 7210 supernova. I formatted the memory card just now from my 7210, but still, it is not detected:-(I put memory card for 12 hours without any luck. Is it the hardware problem? I may have to visit the service center tomorrow.

I have an old class 2 Transcend 2 GB card which is getting detected, what card are you using?
Click to expand...

dont know. But the memory card works with every other phone. Also when I insert a memory card, I do not get a clicking sound (which ensures the memory card is seated well) on my lumia. All other phones have this clicking sound when inserting a memory card. I think it is common with all lumias.

I just got a class 10 UHS 32GB card and it works just fine. Also, there was no clicking sound to mark the insertion.

Hardware problem?
You have formatted it on a PC right?

1.8k. There were 1.4k cards, but I went with a UHS casrd for future-proofing myself.

Now I understand why Nokia and HTC refuse to put card slots in their flagships. The music player has become visibly slower on my 520 with the songs moved to the card. :/

Try soft rest. But sounds like a hardware problem to me...

I've noticed this thing recently.

When i have more songs in 16GB SD, battery will drain like 3.5~4% / hour.
Using 2GB SD as the 16GB is corrupted and have to format, now drain is like 2.5~3%/hour..

I guess, SD card eats up some power w.r.t to size and content..
Maybe..

only server/url and port can be changed. nothing like sumnet mask,gateway,dns proxy etc cant be changed. So i can not activate wifi on my college:-(I think I have to make hotspot using laptop to access college wifi.
Click to expand...

Yeah, it's also not possible in GDR2. You have to wait until GDR3 I think.. Very bad of microsoft not including this basic feature but on the other way college wifi's are very simple to configure like my college I only have to provide them my MAC address.

^ Nope. Soft reset doesnt delete data.

On the other hand if you go to the service centre, ou are guaranteed all data deletion.

Click to expand...

Cannot change keyboard. (Although on a personal note, this is the BEST keyboard I have used and I have used swype and a couple of others)

I'll let you know about the football apps. I forgot their names for now :|
