Strangely, SD card reports Total space 1.81 GB  Available space 1.81 GB
although on it there are 4 folders with files in so they must be very snall

Nothing like that here.

Just sorted it out. Changed the settings in the phone WiFi menu from auto to
my type of security & SCII type input etc & it worked.
