A memory card will be formatted to the system you format it on. The card will only work with the system it is formatted to, you may or may not get an error when you use a system that is not formatted to. Generally, it doesn't do much but some systems require formatting. Most times it erases all data, and replaces it with formatted files

On your lg ks360 when i go on external memory says bad format error?

Hi, your KS360 is recognising the memory card, but the format of the card is wrong for the phone. You can either talk to someone at the store you bought it from or but a new memory card. I had the same problem and switched memory cards. I bought the 8gb San Disk Micro Disk Hc 2. My original card was 2gb, but 8gb was the only one they had left. But they do make ones of 2gb, 4gb, 8gb and 16gb. Hope this helps! if this does not work : 1.go to settings 2.then memory status 3.external memory 4.format 5.0000 hope this works!
