Archiving SMS messages offline with PC Suite 6.7

First of all, I'm not a computer expert so I really hope someone can help me! I downloaded PC Suite 6.7 and would like to archive my sms messages (received messages and sent messages) offline on my PC. But it seems that I can only see my messages when my phone is connected to the PC, once I disconnect, the messages are no longer available. This means that I cannot archive my messages. I used to have an old version of Nokia Phone Editor 4.5 with my old cellular which allowed me to do this.
Basically, what I want to do is this:
- Archive my messages on a regular basis so that I can delete them from my phone and free up its memory
- Access these messages even when my phone is not attached to the PC
It seems that I cannot view my Contacts either unless my phone is connected. Why is this? I did not have this problem with Phone Editor 4.5. Should I install an older version of PC Suite?
I am running Windows XP and using a cable connection.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!! I'M GOING CRAZY!!!
Thanks, Michelle

Hi, I don't have a solution either. I have tried copying the files while the phone is connected into a separate folder. The files will copy and they are accesible, but the dates are all messed up. Rather than the date the message was sent, it notes the date the file was created which is the date I copied them. So, messages sent over the course of a week all have the same date and almost the same time.
I have also tried the export message option which makes each message a single cell readable in Excel but that single cell includes everything, the message, date, time, sender...certainly not a convenient way to archive messages.
One main reason I decided to invest in a more expensive Nokia was the belief that there would be a good solution for archiving messages. I am sadly disappointed.

The messages sent with PC suite are not saved in m...

I have a bluetooth device to connect my phone (Nokia 6233) to PC. When I'm trying to send a message everything goes perfect (the message is sent) only one problem appear: the message is not saved in my phone.
Any ideas for this problem?
Why the messages sent with PC suite are not saved in my phone?

there may be differencies between phone models here (S60 devices or S40 devices, you have S40). Also if I recall right, it used to be so that some older versions of PC Suite did not save the PC sent sms's to phone.
However, with my N95 the messages are saved. So make sure you have the latest Pc Suite and then try again. If it fails, then it might be that message saving is not supported with S40 phones (Anyone having a S40 phone could verify this)

Haha, that's too funny, seconds after posting my question the install finished.... 2.5 hours later!!

SMS message issues with N8!!!

Hey guys. Have the new N8, and want to love this phone, but just CAN'T when it fails send sms messages (with no explanation) without me chasing them around the phone. Only short messages send in conversation mode (say 10 - 20 characters); anything longer and I have to either move it to my drafts, and send from there, or move it to my drafts, change to multimedia message, and send from there... SUCH an inconvenience and causing me to hate this phone and want to get rid of it. Can ANYONE help with this problem?
Thank you.

No resolution... Performed hard reset on phone (*#7370#), only added back a couple of important contacts. And the messaging problem is still present. What is going on here? I see that many other people have this problem and are yet to find a plausible fix.. Any other ideas/explanations? Cuz I am going to have to get rid of this if it takes this much effort to send txts.
Thanks.

Has anyone ever interfaced CRM with mBlox (SMS messaging) ?

I would be pleased to talk with you or better still receive a sort of schematic of how the process would work.

Burcu,
In the new release, you probably can use the campaign object to create the "SMS" campaigns and then use the open channel BADI for campaign execution to call the remote provider web service. I would then try to record those as an "interaction object", (*find the the API for this object in the system *). This way your SMS messages show up in the interaction history. In CRM 4.0 when we built our solution(we are now on 52) we didn't have the interaction object so we created an activity for each SMS sent to record the history.
For the inbound SMS your webservice should try to wrap around the ERMS. This way you can then use the logic of the ERMS to handle the routing and not need to build a lot of custom code to do this. I believe if you look at the "mail forms" examples of the ERMS you could wrap this into a inbound web services call.
Honestly the only status ack you might get from a provider is a delivery ack, which in general is not that useful. Now however if you are doing a two-way response to the shortcode campaign, then you would want to use the campaign recording mechanism in CRM to handle those. That's why the ERMS system is probably the best bet to latch on, since it is designed to handle that situation.
So basically you are looking at a couple of months of work to develop your solution at the end of the day. Your other option is just to build a custom SMS application in the CRM web client. I don't think your business users will be happy using the campaign/target group setup to send SMS messages, even with the new web UI.
Take care,
Stephen

Cant view SMS messages with PC Suite 6.8 (Nokia 66...

Hi all,
I am using Nokia 6680. I was using PC Suite 6.5 previously and i cant read my sms messages from the PC browser, nor the PC Suite.
I follow the advice from this forum to upgrade to PC Suite 6.84, and i still cant read sms messages from my PC. does anyone have antidote to this problem?
Much appreciation!

Hi Miksu-san, thanks for sharing. yes that does help. Thanks for enlightening. Will need to press on F5 for it to update.
Miksu-san, do u know if there's anyway we can extract the sms data, in bulk and in organized way, except from purchasing the Noki software? Much appreciation in advance.
Matt, to view, please see my reply with the same problem under nokia 6270 thread.

PC suite export/import breaks SMS messages

Nokia PC suite 6.85.14.1
Windows XP SP2
Phone 6500 classic connected either by Bluetooth or USB
just updated 6500c to 4.84 firmware
an sms message is received and is viewable fine in Inbox
using the phone I move it to Archive, it is still OK
I then export it to PC (drag-n-drop to a folder)
I delete the message in the phone and import (drag-n-drop) back to Archive
The message is there but it does not show sender name (instead I see the date in the header)
When I open the message and click message details, I can see that
To: field contains the actual sender, while Sender: has (no address)
I tried various things including messing with vmg content (putting same TEL: field to both VCARD entries), but on the import to 6500c, it is the same story - as if the import swaps the sender with receiver and clears the sender field
Please also note that at all times, when I view the messages in PC Suite (phone browser) they show correct sender field, I just need to see the same on the actual phone
Is there something I am missing?
Generally I just need to copy old sms messages from 7260, but when importing them they break as described above. I then tried to export a "6500" message and import it back - with same result. So it appears to be a PC Suite issue rather than anything

al_lea, thanks, I already thought about that, but as I said to exlucde any incompatibility issues within vmg I tried a export/import of a "native" sms freshly received on the 6500, and it gives the same problem.
I also tried changing versions to 3.0 manually in the vmg with no luck.
I'm starting to think the message is actually ok, but it's probably the 6500c software that doesn't display them right. When I try to reply to "broken" message, it does go to sender, even though he is not displayed as one
it looks like PC suite export or import strips the empty to: VCARD from inside the vmg, which is fine by the standards but 6500c doesnt like

Problems with SMS backup from Nokia PC suite

Dear forumERS,
sorry to bother you with a question asked many many times i guess...but apparently no solutions yet (at least: as far as i red until now).
I switched form Nokia Xpress Music 5800 to Nokia E71 and the backup with PC suite worked quite ok for contacts, settings and calendar. SMS were imported as well, but the phone shows phone numbers instead of names as senders in the inbox folder (= i see the phone number but not the name). However, in the outbox folder, the same phone number is correctly recognized and linked to the contact (= i see the name of the recipient). But if i read the content of the inbox folder from PC Suite, i see the names correctly. In addition, the phone doesn't import the content of the archive folder. What's wrong with my cell phone and/or backup and/or PC Suite? Can anybody help?
Thank you in advance for your attention!

Those "My xxx" folder are some old folders which are not needed/used with 6.82.
First, I have to know this -> did you change your explorer settings (show hidden and system folders)???
1. Go to http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html and download Filemon (it is end of the page).
2. Go to http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Regmon.html and download Regmon (it is end of the page).
3. Disconnect you phone from PC Suite.
4. Open Nokia Phone Browser and close all other applications.
5. Start FileMon.exe and click 'Options', 'Filter/Highlight..' and set string: *explorer.exe*;*SeUp*;TextMes* to 'Include' option.
6. Start Regmon.exe and click 'Options', 'Filter/Highlight..' and set string: *explorer.exe*;*SeUp*;TextMes* to 'Include' option.
7. Press 'Ctrl+X' to both tools (for remove traces).
8. Connect your phone and open phone's "Messages" folder in Nokia Phone browser.
9. Start that Nokia Message Editor and click that "To" and then "Refresh"
10. wait e.g. 3 minutes and save logs and zip those...Then save zip file to http://www.savefile.com/ and send link to me

Problems downloading sms's with PC Suite

Hi guys. I've looked everywhere and can't find an answer to this
I'm using PC Suite (7.1.18.0) on a Lenovo T60 and use it for downloading my messages (SMS) via the infrared port from a nokia 6230. The trouble I'm having is that when the PC reads the contents of my phone some of the messages displayed in PC suite (sometimes up to 4 or 5) seem to be bundled into one continuous message that does not make sense. It is almost as these messages have been cut copied and pasted in no particular order.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any help would be thoroughly appreciated. Thanks in advance, d.

here is what could find after I checked all sources  I usually do..
One of them is the page of the phone it self : http://europe.nokia.com/A4144016 (You are here - Nokia Europe Get support and software> Product support> Nokia 6230>Software> PC Software
as you see here are also links  to the PC Suite which is developed for the phones of that period ..
as time pases the computers ( phones too:-)) and software has changes and it is not aways possible to  possible to integrate the old one in to the new. So I here I suppoe is a case like this ..
there is something else I want to show you : it is the description of the PC Suite 5.8 and the notes bellow - you can  see that depending OS you can connect your phone to PC using 3 deferent  cables ( which is not very native for the rest of all phones, usually phone can be vonnected only via 1 single type of cable) however in 5.8 there is no application such as Nokia Communication Centre in 7.1; further more - usually to use the complete functionality of Nokia Communication Centre - when you first time connect a phone, the programm promts you to install a small application in to the phone that will help to use the Nokia Communication Centre correctly - you can see this if you open HELP > REINSTALL PC SUITE SUPPORT - this small application helps to appered on PC Suite when first time Nokia Communication Centre was released. this mean it uses special protocol of communication with the phone..
On the other hand I read the opening on PCS 7.1 page and here it is :
(http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/nokia-pc-suite/supported-features)
To view Nokia PC Suite features that are supported by your device, find the device model from the table below or type it into the search field and click Search.
Note: The availability of Nokia PC Suite features, connection types, and add-on applications varies according to device model. Only device models compatible with the latest version of Nokia PC Suite are listed here. For information on the Nokia PC Suite versions for earlier device models, first select your device on the Download page.
in addition you need to connect phone by one of the following cables : DKU-2, CA-53, CA-70 ( or IrDA and Bluetooth ( as for BT there are also deferent sys requirements than those forpc suite 5.8)
compare same info about PC Suite 5.8 :
connecting with cable CA-42,  DKU-2
in the applications list and  description  the only fully compatible phones are 6230 and 7600
So after I saw the screenshots you send me the only reason I see is that you are using PCS 7.1 , but not 5.8
If you need my help or I late with an answer you need, send me a private message
P.S.
Please before doing that, be sure you have already searched the topict on this site about the issue you have. Read Help sections before asking. Describe yor issue step by step with complete details.

Different alerts for email and sms messages for a contact with custom ring tone

Hello,
I have a Curve 8530 with OS 5.0.0.395.
I have my default sound profile set up to play one type of alert sound when I receive and email message and another when I receive an SMS message (so I know the difference without looking at my phone). That works fine except for contacts that I also have a custom ring tone set up for. It seems that under the Custom Ring Tones/Alerts section of the contact there is only one entry for Messages and it applies to both email and SMS. If I have the contact's message alerts set to the alert I have for email, then their SMS messages play the same alert and I might think it's an email. Or if I have the messages alerts set to the SMS alert sound then their emails sound like SMS messages. Is there a way to have a custom ring tone set up for a contact but still allow their emails and SMS messgaes to follow the current sound profile's settings?
Thanks.

Hello,
Have you had any luck resolving this issue. I had a 8230 and this was possible. But like you I can get the 8530 to work. If you found the solution, please let me know.

Using iMessage 8.0 with Mavericks to send sms message to my friend who has an iPhone. Only allows me to log in under AIM, YAHOO, GOOGLE, or BONJOUR. I don't want to do any of that. Just my phone number. Is this possible?

Hi,
The first run of Messages will ask you to enter an Apple ID to "register' with iMessages.
If you do not do this but open the App and look in Preferences > Accounts then you will see the iMessages account and the Bonjour Account which will not be activated.
Neither of these two account can be deleted. (even if not being used)
If you then press the + icon to add you will get the choices you posted.
To iMessage you need to "register" and Apple ID with the iMessages service.
As Diane then points out you can link this to your iPhone number.
This "syncs" (Displays on all devices) the various iMessages sent to either iPhone or Apple ID
You can then chose on both iPhone or Mac version how or which ID/Number is going to be used to "Start the conversations from"
I have my Mac version set to start from my Apple ID and the iPhone from it's number.
At this moment the Mac version cannot send SMS text messages to an iPhone.
This is apparently coming with iOS 8 and OS 10.10 (Yosemite)
An AIM account can send SMS Messages but only to a limited number of USA based phone users on these carriers.
(Basically you add a phone number with country code +1 as a Buddy to your List)
Mocked up number (It not really an auto responder although you do get sent back and Error message about it not being valid)

I occured a weird problem while watching my messages received. PC-Suite won't show senders name, only phone number even that i i have synced both, contacts and messages. Sent messages is shown with receiver name.
Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

On the phone, names won't be displayed if the number appears for more than one contact. I guess, quite logically, this is because the phone doesn't know which entry it should display.
PC-Suite probably does the same thing: could this be your issue?
