E61i help - Messages stuck in phone memory

I recently changed the setting on my e61i from saving messages to the phone memory to saving them on the memory card. The next step was moving the messages from the phone memory to the memory card.
Now I have about 3MB of messages stuck in the phone memory somehow and I have not been able to find them so that I can delete them. Would anyone happen to have any thoughts?
Also, if I have to resort to a hard reset, are settings saved when backing up to the memory card?
Thanks so much in advance, cheers.

Hi there,
Have you tried changing the memory in use for messaging back to the phone memory under menu > messaging > options > settings > other > memory in use > phone memory.
Shouldn't it reflect the messages that are stored in the phone memory and thus enable you to delete them.
Hope this helps
Regards.

Help Everything in my phones memory is gone

I recently update firmware to 7.21, there was no problem initially.after 2wks, all application in my phone was gone e.g all the preinstalled nokia games,themes, application. My memory card was intact. What happened to my phone & ow can i get my app back. I used nokia 3110c

It may have needed to be cleared to get it to work again (which is the usual fix if a problem occurs with a Shopping Cart). There's nothing you can do but go back and re-locate the tracks.
I strongly advise not keeping tracks just sitting in your Shopping Cart. It's not designed to be a "wish list"; too may problems can crop up. If you want a "wish list", make a new playlist and drag the tracks from the iTunes Store to that playlist. That will keep them for future purchase (presuming that they're still available when you go to purchase them; sometime content gets removed from the Store).
Someone suggested the make a 'Wish List", Why does the playlist not show up on my iPod? Can you get it to?
If you're referring to the above-referenced process for creating a wish list playlist, then no, it's not going to transfer to an iPod since you don't have the tracks on your system. All you have is a pointer to them. So there's nothing to be transferred.

Transfering messages between phone memory and memo...

How do i transfer messages from the phone memory to the memory card? When i first changed the option to use the memory card to store messages, the option to transfer the messages were there.
But the next time i changed the option to use phone memory and back to memory card again, the option wasn't there.
Messaging>Options>Settings>Other>Memory in Use
How can I make that option re appear so I can transfer messages again?

To make the option appear again you will have to format your memory memory card. - When it's nothing on the memorycard, the phone will rebuild the message folders/files to the card, when it's already done you will not get that option anymore.
What you could do is to connect to PC suite and go inside communicator centre and export all messages from c memory to your pc -> change memory in use to memorycard and then reconnect to pc suite -> import the file with all saved messages, and you have now copyed all messages from C to E (you can do vice versa too). - Now you have to change back to C memory and delete those messages there.

N95 problem with phone memory and backup.

My phone is saying that I have 1870 MB of messages on the phone memory (which can't be true), and it is refusing to back up on the memory card, which I guess is because of this problem as it thinks there's not enough space on the card.
Anyone know what could cause this problem?
Thanks for your help.
T-mobile please give us v.20 N95 software.

Hmm, well I'm stumped. If it's within warranty perhaps contact the supplier and accept they'll probably lose your data. I can't be any more helpful I'm afraid, especially as I'm a user and not an actual Nokia technician.
All I can suggest given the extra info you've provided, is to buy a card that can hold the imaginery 1870MB's and change the message storage settings? Alternatively look at the phone via PC suite which makes some files and folders visible on the phone memory (called 'C' drive). Prod around there may be, with research you may find the file that collects that info, delete it and the phone 'may' replace it with the corect values?
I'd be interested to know of the real solution.

How to free phone memory in n95 8gb

Newbie here, My device is n95 8gb. Upon scanning memory n then phone memory details shows that "88 mb" space is used by message, even the inbox having 4-5 messages and 15 message in self created folder n all are simply text message, no mms no email no attachments etc. As earlier i hav told my problem is 88 mb memory encroached by message only. While i set in message settings to use mass memory for "memory in use" option the day i bought the phone. Remembering one thing that from day 1 phone shows 88 mb memory used by message upon scanning. Why and how ?? i can not understand till now. I hav deleted all message from inbox, sent, drafts etc even deleted mailbox but of no use to 88. Please Please Please Please Someone help me i just want to get rid off this 88 mb n frequent message of "Low phone memory close / delete some app first" Sorry for writing such a long post but actually i think giving proper history and condition may help u people to finally help me out. So why message hav that much used memory and how can i free up some mb

you can back up your stuff by either downloading nokia pc suite or ovi suite
http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/nokia-pc-suites\
yes you can backup on your memory card, cards do get corrupt sometimes. once you back up via pc suite or ovi do as GS had suggested in the above mentioned post.
yes the *#7370# formats only phone memory

Nokia 5800 - phone memory always full

got my phone yesterday from prepay mania, i hav an 8gb memory card in it btw, whenever i go to the menu i get messages saying c: phone memory full, please delete some data. sometimes it doesnt let me access particular features such as "settings" and even returns me to my home screen
my question was how do i move all my future downloads and all the stuff on my phone memory to my memory card, so i wont get these messages coming up all the time
Message Edited by roshan93 on 08-Jul-2009 08:57 AM

if you have installed applications, uninstall them and reinstall them but this time choose the memory card as your main destination (the application should ask where do you want to install it). Also, if you have configured an email account, make sure you choose the memory card to store your emails (go to the messaging/email application, select options - settings - other and where it says memory in use select E: Memory Card (instead of phone memory). Finally, if you have been using the Web application, go to options - clear privacy data (select cache and cookies).
If none of these options solve your problem, then do a hard reset (after backing up the phone, of course)
Hope it helps..

X6 Phone Memory

I've tried to download a phone software update but it tells me my phone doesn't have enough memory available. I checked the memory and, apparently I only have 3mb of memory left on the phone. Having looked at the details, apparently 283mb are being used by 'other files' and 17mb being used by 'ssis applications' but I have no idea what these files may be. I dont save anything to the phone memory (I use mass memory instead) and I've checked all the files and folders and can find nothing that would account for using up this amount of memory!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

To free phone memory, transfer data to a mass memory in the File mgr application. Mark files to be moved, select Move to folder (or Organise > Move to folder) and then the destination folder.
In order to free memory, you could also remove or move the following:
a. Messages from Inbox, Drafts and Sent folders in Messaging
b. Retrieved e-mail messages from the phone memory Saved Web pages. Clear the web browser cache to free some memory.
c. Saved images, videos, or sound files
d.Contact information
e.Calendar notes
f.Downloaded application packages
g.If there are applications which are not needed any more, uninstall them
h.Any other data that you no longer need
If possible, use the mass memory instead of phone memory in the Camera application. You can also use Image Store available in the Nokia PC Suite or Ovi Suite to transfer images and video clips for example to a compatible PC.
If you are deleting multiple items and any of the following notes are shown: Not enough memory to perform operation. Delete some data first or Memory low. Delete some data, try deleting items one by one (starting from the smallest item)
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Help Pls N79 Phone Memory

Hi just bought a Nokia N79 having problems with the phone memory. A pop up msg keeps popping up say memory full delete data. What Data? I've noticed that any application i enter the memory becomes less.
Pls help this is becoming really irritating.

this is more specific to n97 but the basics will work for any phone.
There are some things you can do to manage the C memory better/phone memory.
1. Clear your browser cache often
2. set different message allocation ( if you have not done so already)
messaging- options- settings- other ( set it to 999, and e memory)
3. Go to OVI store (app on your phone) and change that memory allocation for most apps.
opitons- account- settings- installation preferences
4. Remove Facebook, Accu Weather, Bloomberg, apps from the C drivve and reinstall them via OVI store and place them in the E memory/mass memory
NOTE: If you are using Nokia Messaging application, it can only store data on the C drive so keep that in mind
NOTE: RAM is another issue with N97. Don't keep too many apps running at the same time as it will run out of RAM and either close all applications on the spot or crash the phone and result in restart.
BETTER RAM management : Here are some things to consider
also consider investing in the best taskman 1.99$ in the ovi store or y browser (free) to manage your ram and all the apps that are runnig on the phone that you might want to close if you are not using them.
http://www.drjukka.com/YBrowser.html
now y browser is free, it has a great amount of stuff you can do with it, but it is not as easy to use as best taskman and it does not look so pretty- that is if you care about looks over function.

Guys Plz help urgent Phone memory is 0

i recievd a song from bluetooth and it has been saved but it reduced phone memory i tried to fing that song inthe phone memory but not found in phone memory plz tell me the locations so i can transfer to mass memory or bluetooth and can u plz tell me how to change the path of recieving anything means i received from bluetooth i want that it should be go to directly to massmemory folder .
OR
any one can tell me how to transfer the song from phone memory to mass memory
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1) For your phone memory to be 0 you must have apps and everything stored there on C: and not utilising the mass storage E:.
I agree with matt_t that is how it is done when using bluetooth so havent a clue whats going on there.
2) Have you tried plugging your phone into your PC via USB and exploring your N97 throught my computer if using windows and double clicking the N97 icon.
Looking for the C: Phone folder and finding the song and dragging and dropping into E:mass memory music folder????
OR drag from your C: to your PC and dragging back to E:mass memory Music Foler if the above doesnt work.
BUT 1 song is usually on around 3MB so you still have issues with 0 memory.
3) If all your apps are stored on C: why dont you uninstall them and install onto your E:mass memory.
4) Internet i havent a clue about but with your memory so so low thats the least of your problems at the moment.
Thats all i have to help with i hope you find your song and your memory increases.

PLEASE HELP! N95 phone memory problem

Hi
I have a N95 8GB which is now about 2 years old. The phone itself works fine, well, that was until yesterday morning.
It hasnt been recently dropped, there is no logical reason i can see, but the phone has lost its mind.
It's been telling me since yesterday morning that there is no phone memory left. So I completely wiped all my music, videos, pictures, messages etc. To no avail, it's still telling me there is no phone memory.
I went to delete a contact, which are actually saved on my sim card, and it told me there wasnt enough memory to do this.
I've restored factory settings, no joy.
It also keeps popping up with "carousel already in use".
I can't now receive txts either because it tells me not enough memory to read.
Am I going to have to get a new phone on my inusrance, or is this a problem I can sort with your help?
thanks in advance

Go to Menu>Tools>File Manager>Options>Memory details, this will give you a run-down of how much phone memory is free and how much is used, then a breakdown of where the memory is being used. Your phone memory is about 140Mb in total (don't confuse this with the 8Gb - that's just "Mass memory" for storage of data like music, video and pictures plus it is possible to install some apps in there. The phone memory is used for processing as well as sotrage, which is why you get these errors if too much is used.
In the breakdown, you'll see the following items:
- Calendar: this should only be a few Kb, perhaps a few hundred Kb if you use the feature often, but not too much
- Contacts: should also be measured in Kb, even if many of your contacts have images
- Messages: should be measured in Kb, if it goes into Mb or worse still Gb then you have Bluetooth of MMS messages hogging space - save the attachments to mass memory and delete the messages.
- Images, videos and soundclips should not be large - perhaps a small number of ringtones, images that you use as backgrounds etc. but the bulk of these media files are best moved to mass memory.
- Documents should be tiny, keep documents in mass memory.
- MIDP (Java) apps and SIS (Symbian) apps could be filling space, you might be able uninstall some of these and reinstall them to mass memory if needs be, but be aware that some apps must be in phone memory and that some of the space taken by SIS apps will be preinstalled stuff that you can't move.
If none of the above can explain the memory full erros and you do seem to have a large amount of Mb free, then it could be a software issue that can be solved by reformatting the phone with the code *#7370# - make sure that you use PC Suite Content Copier to backup important data first, and after the reformat when you restore the backed-up data, don't include settings in the restoration and also leave out any data types that you know you don' use.

I might get 35 or 40 and then get storage limit warnings

A_Ohmstede,
I know it can be frustrating seeing that inbox get full and having to delete
stored messages. I do see in the Samsung manual where it advises that it
will store a maximum of 300 messages on the phone. The number may lower
if there are pictures messages and other things being stored on the device.
Have you checked your total Memory available in Settings and Tools? How much is
currently available? Please let us know these details and we may be able
to help further!

Iphone 5 - I am trying to delete message threads and once I do, I go to text someone else and it won't send. HELP? I just don't want those messages on my phone anymore. I have tried to restart my phone but when I do, the "deleted" threads show back up on my phone. I use iOS 7.1.

Hello Makayla,
It sounds like you're deleted message threads keep coming back after you restart the devie. I recommend starting by quitting all the running apps on your phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes and then restore it as a new device and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling
