E-1 restoring sms saved in memory card by backup f...

Dear Sir,
yesterday at 4 pm i put my phone on silent mode and when i again had a look at it at 6 pm all my sms stored in Inbox, sent items, folders and drafts were missing.
they were all stored in memory card and NOT n phone memory.
memory card is working fine, infact all other files, pictures, music etc is there, just sms/emails are missing.
i tried restoring with backup files, now everythng can be restored but not my sms saved in the memory card.
i had a closer look and found, when i do the backup, i do it for "user files from memory card" but when i restore it, memory card data isnt restored.
please tell me the way to restore the memory card data
its really very important sir

Gaurav daga

Hi Gaurav,
Have you already solved this? I am also facing the same problem and am looking for a solution! If you have already solved this, I'd appreciate if you can post it here. Thanks.
However, my phone is not the E series though, it is the N97 mini.
My messages stored in the memory card were gone after my battery went flat and when I restarted the phone, messages were stored in the phone memory. I've tried changing the storage location back to memory card but the messages are still lost! Like you, my messages are very important! I am also desperately looking for a solution to restore my messages.

Sharon

Why does some images saved on memory card show up as a little icon with lightning bolt through it

I been saving images on memory card.. well as of lately some images have a icon with a lightening bolt on it..and images are lost

There is a problem with the SD card. Reboot your phone and see if the problem comes back. If the problem comes back un-mount and remove the card and see if a computer can read the card. If the computer can read it then move all the photos to the computer then reformat the card in the phone. Put the reformatted card back in the phone and take a picture. If the problem persists then the card is corrupted in some way. This is more common than you would think especially if you have a galaxy S3 and use SanDisk cards. I would try a new card from a different manufacturer.

Open Ovi Maps application upon device and perhaps download a few kb's of map data for your current position, then close application and re-try.

Sending videos saved on memory card

How do i send videos from my lumia 625 saved on my memory card, as it seems i can only send videos i have recently made. Any help would be most appreciated :-).

thru bluetooth, if it doesnt work thru there then it cannot be done mate. of course sending thru MMS cannot be done if they are large sized videos due to size constraints.

Can't open messages saved on memory card

Hi, i've had my e63 for about 3 months, and all of a sudden during the day today it wouldn't open any messages saved on my memory card, i can still open images saved onto my memory card though.
I've done a backup with nokia pc suite, and ive formatted the memory card, reset the phone to factory settings, and then restored the data onto my phone, but i still can't open them. If i change the settings to use phone memory i can open messages that i receive. but i'd like to be able to open the messages on my memory card because some of them have sentimental value.
If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated.

It is sad that no one responded... been having the same issue myself and this is what I did:
On your device go to Options->Memory and make sure the following are set ON:
Media Card Support
Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)
Mass Storage Mode Support
Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected = Yes
And don't forget to save your settings (BB button->Save)
Now, when I connect my BB to my PC, I don't bother running Device Manager. I just plug in the Storm and after about 40 seconds, XP finds my two devices -- device memory and memory card -- as two separate drives. I had to set TAKE NO ACTION on XP to keep it from booting a few apps like X2Play, etc. But now it works flawlessly and I see ALL the predefined folder structure.
Hope this helps if you haven't gotten any help yet.

am using nokia e5,it was working all well but few days before i tranferred files from laptop to my cell(images) using Mass Storage option by data cable.soon after that images and videos saved in memory card is not visible on phone.test mesgs and music files are visible but phone isnt showing my images and video files which ive recievd through bluetooth and saved in memory card.why is this so???plzzz help me am in mess cant help it

Hi saaraaz,
Welcome to the forum! I tried to transfer pictures via bluetooth and they were saved to gallery like they should. Please try the following actions and between them test if it works.
Firstly please make a back up with Nokia Suite. Then type in *#7780# = soft reset, no data lost.
If it's still the same, type in *#7370# = hard reset, the phone memory will be wiped. Restore back up. You can also try to make the back up without settings and then format and restore.
Reinstall the software. The process is the same when updating, but at the end select "reinstall".
Hope you get the device working again, please let me know if this is not the case.

Problem with E71 detecting photos in Memory card

I have a Nokia E71.
I tried encrypting the memory card first. After this i could not access my data on the memory card hence I decided to decrypt it.
Everything on the memory card seems fine except that the Gallery is not recognising the photos on my memory card. I can access the data through the File Manager.
Have tried switching d phone On and Off several times but to no avail.
Even removed the memory card and re-inserted it but no use.
The songs are detected by the music player.
When i scan my memory of the card it shows used space but 0 bytes for Images, 0 for Sound files and 0 for Video files.
Also my Phone has slowed down since then. Some of the images are also corrupted
Please help me ASAP!!!

Try to transfer your data to computer , recovering as much as possible , and then format the card

Pearl with memory card works until synch with desktop mgr

I have a Pearl 8130 and a 4gb MicroSD HC card. The card has been formatted and I used the Roxio software from desktop mgr to move stuff to the card. All was good. Now each time I connect the pearl and sync with the desktop software, once I disconnect from the laptop, the phone doesn't recognize the memory card. I have to "add" it each time and then it works fine. Any idea why my connecting to the desktop software would somehow make the phone no longer see the memory card? I searched in the support forums and nothing came up.
Desktop Mgr ver 4.3.0.17, smartphone v 4.3.0.97
Media card support On, Mass storage mode On, Auto enable Mass Storage Mode Yes, Total space 3.7GB, Free space 3.4GB
Thanks.

hi Sanj, you may try to delete everything form the memory card with a card reader under windows, or also may try to format the memory card to fat32, and then try use it again with your phone. I recommend to format the card with the phone after it started successfully.

N96 - Memory card vs Internal memory

Hi, I am trying to transfer music via Nokia PC Suite and it telling my my menory is full as it is reading from the installed memory card. How can I get it to automatically transfer to the phone memory??. Will I have to transfer everything from my memory card to the phone memory and if so how??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When your phone is connected to PC Suite, go to Nokia Music Manager and select:
1. Options
2. Settings
3. Click on your N96 tab
4. Path to music file (or something along that line) will be set to E:/Music or E:/Sounds (something like that)...
5. Change it to the c drive or wherever your phone's drive is and the folder you want the songs moved to.
No, you don't have to transfer everything to your phone memory. Your phone's music player is capable of checking both phone and memory card for song files.
Your gallery will put all your songs in one folder as well, regardless of location.
From time to time, I suggest you check your available memory (menu > options > Memory details > phone memory and also check your memory card) just to see how much space is available.
"Try not. Do or do not, there is no try."

5230 - How can I move data to the memory card.

My phone has about 90mb of space by what I can see. I have installed a microSD card and that has 4gigs.
My problem is that I can't seem to install anything for want of space. My pictures are on the card, my music is on the card. Even so my card has about 1.65GB of free space yet I can figure out how to move applications to the card. I installed the Suite today for Windows and one of the things it does it bug me to update programs like Maps... sounds good in theory but my phone filled up half way thru the installation process. Any suggestions on how I can offload everything to the memory card? Thanks.
Just another second banana

alright i guess that's just an unfortunate limitation of the phone. So is there anything specific I need to do in order to install to MC. I've seen that option before but sometimes I haven't.
I don't have many applications. I went thru and deleted six that I don't use and that's pretty much everything. I'm assuming that Google Maps is taking up a sizeable chunk though it shows in the program manager as only 1MB.

IPhoto fails, removes device (memory card), images lost memory on card lost

I've just recently began to experience problems with importing pics from my digital cameras' memory cards. I use a GE 24-in-1 USB Card Reader, and I have been using the delete after import feature on iPhone import, with no problems for a year, until just recently. I did browse and note some recommend not to use that feature.
I use 512MB and 2GB Sandisk, Toshiba, (and two new unused) Lexar SD memory cards. I remove the cards from digital cameras (several different models of Kodak, and in two Panasonic PV-GS500 camcorders in picture-taking mode) and use the card reader for importing. I've imported into iPhoto this way for a year, likely having done so 400 times or more with no problems. I've just been lucky?
But during import recently, iPhoto import stopped, and I got the device removed without being unloaded properly warning. The iMac hung, and I had to force quit iPhoto. Yep, I lost about all the images that had imported, both in the iPhoto library, as well as on the memory card--about 600 of the 900 images on the 2GB card. I started over, without the delete after import option selected, and was able to complete the download of the remaining images. I closed iPhoto, and used Finder to select and move to trash the images on the card, to clear the card and free up all the memory for the next use. But I noted that the memory available was incorrect, showing only 658.1MB instead of what I think a 2GB should show--1.87GB.
Something similar has happened again. During import (not having the delete after import option selected), import stopped, and I got the device remove warning again. No images were saved in Library, but all the images remained on the card, so I started over and did complete the import of all the images from the card, and they were properly saved in Library. I used Finder to move to trash to clear the card. But again noted that the memory card now only shows 704.7MB available, not the 1.87GB that it should.
Yes, I read today the recommendations evidently not to do the process in this manner, so I'm sure one suggestion will be for me not to use the delete after import option, and I guess I'm not supposed to use Finder to move to trash to delete the images from the card. But I note I've done it this way for a year, even using the delete after import option with no problems--until the past two weeks. And also I've allowed all the auto updates, one recently for iPhoto, as I recall, so maybe one of the updates is now part of the experience I'm having.
So is the recommended procedure to only import with the memory card in the device (camera or camcorder), and only to delete the images using the device? I can, of course, but the way I had been doing it was far more convenient, and seemed appropriate use of the software and options.
Also, is there anyway to format the cards so the complete memory is available? Related to that, I'm beginning to think I shouldn't randomly use the cards in the five devices I use (cameras and camcorders)? Until now this hasn't been a problem either. I've been randomly using the cards, devices, and card reader, again, for over a year....
To be fair, maybe I just haven't recognized the problem when it first started recently, as I just viewed the memory on all the cards, and now see that some of the 512MB cards are only showing like 179MB, 336.4MB, and 483.4MB--is the last volume what's normally available for a 512MB card?
I seldom use the 512MB cards in the camcorders, but haven't specifically avoided doing that, other than for the reason that when capturing images in the camcorders, I usually capture 500-900 images at a time, thus needing the 2GB cards to handle that. But I've often used the 2GB cards in the digital cameras randomly.....
Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated!

Hi, OC. In addition to Terence's fine suggestions, let me point out (in case it isn't obvious) that after dragging images from your cards to the Trash, you must empty the Trash to recover the space the pictures occupied on the card. If you don't empty the trash, the pictures are still on the card, taking up the same space they did before you moved them.
But I'll repeat the oft-repeated recommendation not to delete anything from a memory card using your Mac. There are too many ways doing that can go pear-shaped. Erase or reformat each card each time you reinsert it in any of your cameras or other devices. The commands are there, somewhere in the cameras' menu systems.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
