E61 - how to backup messages saved to a customized...

Hi,
I want to backup all the contents of my E61 prior to handing it in for repair again. The screen doesn´t work, so I cannot navigate on the phone itself though I can connect it to my PC.
In the "Nokia Communication Center" (I use Nokia PC Suite and that´s what opens when I hit the envelope symbol), I only see the following SMS folders: Inbox/ Draft/ Sent/ Outbox. On my phone, however, I have created a custom folder "important" and the text messages in that one are - well, important. One holds a licence key I needed to activate a piece of software and I don´t have that key any other place.
Can anyone give me a hint how I might be able to backup the contents of that folder?
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Hendikoischnur

Hello?
Does no one have any ideas on this one? I would hate to have to buy that software again on top of everything else I face until I have a working phone again...
I suppose that when I do a full backup including the messages (via PC Suite), those customized folders will also be backed up - but I´d like to be sure.
I want to give it a shot and hand my phone in, at least to get a cost estimate so I can judge if it´s worth repairing or if I´d be better off with a new one from ebay.

How to delete "messages (saved)" on iPhone 5 after updating to iOS 8?

I updated to iOS 8 and changed the message history to "keep messages for 30 days", but I still have more than 9 GB of "messages (saved)" under usage. How do I delete the "messages (saved)"?

So, I guess my iPhone upgraded without me being aware. But nevertheless I am now running iOS 7.0.4.
I've noticed the last few days that I'm encountering sporadic contact disappearance. I'll get a text, the notification shows their name, maybe a few minutes later i'll go to read the full message and now no name, just a number. I'll look and ALL my contacts are gone. the conversation screen has nothing but numbers and the favorites under phone are just numbers. Search can still work by name though so the phone "knows" that joe is 555-5555, but is not showing the connection.
TEMPORARY WORKING FIX:
Turning off contacts in my icloud settings and choosing to delete the contacts on my phone, then re-enabling contacts will pull them all back down for me. This of course takes about 5-10 minutes for everything to sync back to the phone.
I've tried restarting the phone.
I've tried resetting the phone.
I don't feel like wasting my time with a backup unless I can downgrade to something before 7.0.4 as it is obvioiusly buggy.
I am NOT going to set up as a new phone until this becomes a much bigger problem.
I hope this offers insight to others encountering this bug. My mother has had this happen on her phone as well. Please comment at least if you experience this. the more people that have it, the less chance apple can play it off as an isolated event on my phone.

How to backup messages in Spice fire one?

I am using Spice fire one and want to reset it but I do not know how to backup my messages because it contains really important messages.

Hi abhipuru,
Unfortunately, there are no native features in your device to backup your SMS messages.
You may contact the manufacturer of your phone, Spice, and they may be able to provide you with a solution for this.
You may also be able to backup some information in your device using the application PC-Sync from the Firefox Marketplace:

How many backups are saved in iCloud?

Hi, how many backups has my icloud account?.
i want to recover an important note

You won't know what, if any, older backups are available until you erase the phone and go through the process of restoring the backup. Then you'll presented with a list of available backups like the one below. You can always back up your phone to your computer using iTunes before doing this by connecting it to your computer, launching iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up (and agree to back up apps and transfer purchases if prompted). That will allow you to get back to where you are now if the backup you want isn't there.

Well. i agree. we have logs to capture media backups....so wanted to cut only these media backups failure out of alert file...else what is happening here is our monitoring reports these as alerts as already we know from media backup logs...So why not modify your monitoring of the alert log to exclude that particular error?
Personally, I'd allow both systems to continue to report the error from their perspective.

in nutshell...just exploring any options to turn off the media backup failures like any rman parameters or can anything to do with veritas parameters?
Anyway thanks to all for your valuable opinions.
Thanks,

TS2755 I have deleted almost all of my text messages but for some reason my memory usage still says that i have 3.5 gb of text messages saved. How do i correct this problem?

I have deleted almost all of my text messages but for some reason my memory usage still says that i have 3.5 gb of text messages saved. How do i correct this problem?

Good luck finding the solution. I have another posting https://discussions.apple.com/message/25145839#25145839 on this exact same issue, and that is after looking on my own for the solution on the web and on Apple's forum without any luck for a real solution. Having to RESET a device every time I need to clear out old messages from memory sounds to me like an intended pain from Apple to keep pushing iPhone users to purchase additional iCloud backup plans.

My iphone says ive got 3.9gb of messages saved in usage, but ive deleted all messages. how do i find these saved messages

Firstly you DO NOT have to do a factory reset / wipe device, it is simply not required to get the space back!!
Mine had 3GB and I just got rid of it all, here is how:
METHOD ONE:
Make a backup in iTunes
open iBackupBot (Google it)
Go to the relevant backup
Click on Multimedia File Manager and click on the other Multimedia files tab
Sort by filename by clicking the Filename tab
Find MediaDomain/Library/SMS/Attachments and highlight all of them, then press delete. You can also click to export to a folder of your choice, if you want to save them that is.
Then go to System Files>MediaDomain>Library>SMS>Attachments
They will be all listed here, highlight them all and press delete
Then just restore that backup using iTunes!
Tadaa! Space recovered, your messages are still there but without the attachments! METHOD TWO:
Backup your device in iTunes and then to iCloud
Go to Settings>iCloud and toggle Documents & Data to OFF
Then do a 2nd backup to iTunes and iCloud
Then restore the device from iCloud and the message attachments should be gone, turn Documents & Data back on again in the settings
PLEASE NOTE: Method two is a much longer process but some users may feel more comfortable with this method.
P.S You may want to make two backups in case you get any of the above steps wrong, but it is simple to follow the above and not do anything wrong!
P.P.S You could also just go through every single conversation and delete the attachments one by one, but if you have hundreds or thousands of attachments, this will take a VERY LONG TIME!!!

HT4528 How do you delete 'SAVED MESSAGES' on iPhone 5s

How do you delete 'SAVED MESSAGES' on iPhone 5s? It's taking up about 10GB of 32 GB capacity.

After much searching on the web and reading many (sometimes amusing) posts on this topic here is what I have found.
In Settings>General>Usage my saved mesages were using 3.2Gb and no apparently immediate way of deleting them.
However as the good book says "seek and ye shall find".
SO this is where I went:
Settings>iCloud>Account> then scroll down to ADVANCED and select Mail; again scroll down to the bottom and select Advanced and yet again scroll to the bottom (well at least to DELETED MESSAGES) and tap on the line called Remove.
Here at last you will find a setting that enables you to select the period after which iOS will remove your deleted messages.
The shortest period is one day so you will haev to wait 24 hours to finally have that memory back but it should work and is a nice feature in iOS although it is well burried!!

How do I clear "Messages (Saved)" from Usage?

I am currently running out of storage space from my iPhone and the largest storage user outside of Photos & Video is Messages.
My Messages app currently has 1.1GB of data under General > Usage > Messages > Messages(Saved).
I have tried various ways of clearing this including:
1. Deleting ALL past conversations/SMS within my "messages" app and restarting the phone.
I now have about 5 messages in my messages app but storage usage is still 1.1GB
I have tried to start new conversations to see if somehow my past messages will reappear (and hence properly deleted) but they do not
Resetting "Settings" (as advised by Apple Store Staff) and restarting the phone
Backing up to computer, then restoring phone to factoring settings (also suggested by Apple Store Staff)
By doing this i have managed to clear up a lot more space, HOWEVER, the Message storage is currently still at 1.1GB.
When I plug in phone to iTunes, it says i have:
1.15 GB in "Documents and other"
1.04 GB in "Other"
I think the Messages data should be part of the "Documents and Other" as i do not keep many documents / ebooks on the phone but i have no idea how to access and clear this?
HLEP! I've no idea what to do next.

you've probably sent a video or audio attachments to someone and those are the types of file that will eat up a lot of space from your device. you said you only have 5 messages left, scroll up to the beginning of each messages because it could be a long conversation that you had , you might need to select " Load Earlier Messages" , just continue scrolling up till you find these files. touch and hold one of the multimedia file then select "more...." then delete the file.

IOS 7 Shows I have 4.7Gb of "Messages (Saved)" that I cannot delete. How can I remove these so I can back up to iTunes? No Messages in my inbox either.

Hopefully someone here can help me...
My iCloud always shows my backup as being 4.8GB, even with EVERYTHING turned off. After downloading iOS 7 I figured out the problem: I have 4.8 GB of "Messages (Saved)". This is even after deleting ALL my messages. I'm not sure what this could be. I tried PhoneCleaner, i FunBox, and everything else I can find, but I can't find a way to access or view these messages to delete them. Could someone help me? I can't back anything up to iCloud with it like this.
Note: this was happening even before i upgraded to iOS 7.

iOS 7 is not an upgrade. It is beta software, not yet fit for public use, and only available to developers. Get used to your iPhone being unusable.
