N-73- Memory card SMS disappeared.

Hi All,
While opening an sms, my phone hang.
I restarted the phone , and it took a long while to restart - longer than usual.
After it restarted, I realised all my sms are gone, all 2500 of them.
I normally store them in my memory card.
How can i possibly retrieve my sms? pls help, I need some data from them.
Thanks .....

Are you sure the message storage is set to memory card itself? Sometimes, after a hang-up, the message storage location defaults to phone memory.
If that's correctly set, then make sure your memory card is working fine. If there's a corruption, then you might not be able to get back the messages stored there.
As a general tip, it's better to use the phone memory to store texts rather than using the memory card. The latter makes the phone slower and it takes too long to open and send texts. Switch to memory card only when you receive some heavy file thru bluetooth or IR.

How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?

How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?
My screen is cracked and I need to replace my phone and I don't see a way of selecting multiple messages or even conversations one at a time to forward them to email or to save them to a memory card. I can delete thread but can't forward it or move it. Is there a setting somewhere that will move the storage location for messages to the memory card instead of internal?
If not, any suggestions on backup apps? I have heard of Txtract to back up SMS and MMS messages, and Titanium Backup to back up everything (SMS, MMS, apps, app data...). Anyone have any experience with those, or other suggestions?
Thanks!

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

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.
Regards,
Sharon

Lost SMS from N95 which were stored on memory card...

Hi,
I have lost SMS from N95. I had deleted the files from the "private" folder from the memory card. When I restarted the mobile all the SMS were lost. I have copied the deleted files back to the "Private" folder and restarted the mobile and still the SMS are not seen.
Please advise the way to get back the SMS...
Thanks in advance.

the only files found by the music player are a selection of very small (~20KB) audio clips stored on the phone memory!
when I received the phone, I backed up my N70 and transferred all the information onto the N95 using PC suite. would this have anything to do with the music player not functioning properly?
having searched this forum, it seems a few other users have had similar problems, which appear to have been fixed when they changed the file format of the audio, or put it in a different directory. I have tried the fixes mentioned in these threads but still the music player doesn't recognise anything...

There is no solution. If you formatted the card, the data is gone, purely and simply.
Sorry, but there is no solution. You'll have to think twice before formatting the card next time.

SMS in memory card not getting opened?

Hello,
I've nokia 5800z
It was fine just an hour before.
Now I'm unable to open any SMS in memory card, I can just see in inbox but can't open individual SMS.
I tried to remove & reinsert memory card, switch off & on phone but nothing worked.
Firmware is also latest so can't update further.
Apart from this, everything is fine. Even SMS on phone memory can be opened fine.
Any solution except formatting memory card?
Thx.

I used RowMatch() once before and worked for me.
here is an example from developer guide. It worths a try by you.
good luck
Example 42-14 Performing In-Memory Filtering with RowMatch
// In TestClientRowMatch.java
// 1. Query the full customer list
ViewObject vo = am.findViewObject("CustomerList");
vo.executeQuery();
showRows(vo,"Initial database results");
// 2. Mark odd-numbered rows selected by setting Selected = Boolean.TRUE
markOddRowsAsSelected(vo);
showRows(vo,"After marking odd rows selected");
// 3. Use a RowMatch to subset row set to only those with Selected = true
RowMatch rm = new RowMatch("Selected = true");
vo.setRowMatch(rm);
// Note: Only need to set SQL mode when not defined at design time
vo.setQueryMode(ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_VIEW_ROWS);
vo.executeQuery();
showRows(vo, "After in-memory filtering on only selected rows");
// 5. Further subset rowset using more complicated RowMatch expression
rm = new RowMatch("LastName = 'Popp' "+
"or (FirstName like 'A%' and LastName like 'K%')");
vo.setRowMatch(rm);
vo.executeQuery();
showRows(vo,"After in-memory filtering with more complex expression");
// 5. Remove RowMatch, set query mode back to database, requery to see full list
vo.setRowMatch(null);
vo.setQueryMode(ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_DATABASE_TABLES);
vo.executeQuery();
showRows(vo,"After re-querying to see a full list again");

6131: Copying SMS to Memory Card.

Hi, does anybody know how to transfer text messages from the phone memory to an external memory card? I have a 6131 and I have an SD 1GB memory card; I am able to move photos/music/videos, but have not figured out how to move messages. Is it even possible?
Any help would be great :-)

Is there a way to access saved sms/mms from memory card on pc or new phone?

I saved my text messages to the memory card and was able to view them in c510 phone. The screen on that phone wrecked and I got a new c510, but the text messages, etc. that are saved on the memory card are not detected on the new c510.
Is there a way to access the saved text messages on the memory card either on the new c510 or on my pc?
Please help...these are very important text messages.

Thanks Dr. Chris...I thought my messages were safe on the memory card while my phone was sent for repair, but the phone was not fixed and I think they did a software upgrade and I can't access my messages on my original phone. I bought a new c510 thinking that it could read the messages from the memory card, but it doesn't. I'm really confused how the messages are saved on the memory card, but there is no way to access them...very weird. Someone should invent something that can do this...I think they would make alot of money.
In future, what is the best way to save important text messages other than saving them to the sim card?

Why won't one of my clips from my memory card import properly? It shows up but when I eject it, it disappears!!

ALL but ONE of my clips imported fine from the memopry card. The one specific clip that I am having trouble with appears in the timeline, but when the memory card is ejected, the footage is missing. So I tried to export the project with the memory card in and the share options won't even highlight!! I can't click them! Someone please help

Copy the card to you Mac. Then import from the copied file.

Nokia 6085 wont receive sms. is it a memory card p...

basically, my nokia 6085 sometimes has spurts of not receiving messages or calls. It just flashes blue and white and turns off at the time someone sends a message to me. These spurts can last for a week. Now here's the thing: I put in fujifilm i gig micro sd memory card a few hours before this began to happen.
I'm still under warranty; all I need to know is is this a problem caused by an incompatible memory card?

memory card has nothing to do.but still for your satisfaction you can remove memory card and see it happens.my knowledge says it is because of software and needs an update.
tongue is too confused on what to speak

Hidden MP3 files on memory card

Up until last week I was able to merrily sync my songs onto my Storm's memory card using Windows Media Player, then all of a sudden all the songs on the memory card disappeared from the Storm's media player and I could only see the songs on the phones onboard memory. However, you can see and play the files by exploring through the file system on the Storm and choosing the "show hidden" option in the folders. As these files cant be viewed through the Storm's media player, the media experience becomes very poor. Now, I noticed that if I sync the songs to the Storm using Windows Media Player AND choosing NOT to create a file hierarchy on the Storm's memory card, the songs appear correctly in the Storm's media player, with the disadvantage that the memory card becomes a bit cluttered because tracks arent sorted into folders as I have chosen not to use a file hierarchy when syncing.
Now, I have tried the usual tricks to sort the usual media problem out e.g. battery pulls, quickpull, deleting the bbthumbs files to force indexation (no reindexation takes place for me now!!!), and formatting the memory card and then saving the music again, but none of this works.
Any assistance would be helpful-clearly something has changed in my device software but I cant identify what it is, since I was able to use this so easily jsut last week without these problems.
If RIM is ever threatened by bankruptcy, the government should bail it out like a Wall Street bank....

I may be able to help. I had the same issue. I connected my bb to my pc, in my computer I opened the "Media card". On the card is the "blackberry" folder which is giving all the trouble, open this folder and cut all the subfolders, click "back", and paste directly onto the media card. So the "music" and "picture" folders etc... are now no longer sub-folders of the "blackberry" folder, they are in the same folder as the "blackberry" folder and the "private" and "tmp" folders. This seems to have cured the problem of the hidden files. It is the actual "blackberry" folder that is the problem, not its sub-folders and files...
I dont know how the blackberry will respond to this but it may keep trying to use the blackberry folder for any new media...

E71: Phone refuses to read memory card after conne...

Hi,
I'm having a peculiar problem. Every single time I connect my E71 to my laptop via cable and PC Suite, after a few moments the phone refuses to recognize the memory card. I cannot transfer data directly to the card. I have tried the PC Suite Mode, the Mass Storage mode and the Media Transfer mode but the card is still not picked up.
What's worse is that after disconnection, the phone says that it can't access the card so the default message store is now the phone memory. As a result, I can't see my SMS or mail messages and MfE says there is no profile configured.
If I then wait for several minutes, or restart the phone, it all starts working again. I've tried this on 2 laptops, both running XP Pro SP3 and the latest PC Suite but it's still thw same problem. Can anyone help?
Thank you for clicking on the green star if this has helped you!

Hi,
Okay, this is not necessarily a 'solution' in that it doesn't allow you to use the phone the way it should be used, but...
I set the profile to "Offline" and then fire up PC Suite and then connect the phone with the USB Cable in "PC Suite" mode.
If I do this, the phone behaves properly after disconnection and the memory card is recognized without any hassle.
The advantage of this (if there is one) is that you won't get interrupted by a pesky call right in the middle of an 80MB data transfer. You know what hell that plays with the phone if a call comes in between! ;-)
Thank you for clicking on the green star if this has helped you!

Files missing after memory card switch

I recently bought a new memory card, and it seems that a number of files that came installed on my Nokia E52 have disappeared. Can anyone tell me how I can get them again? They are:
1. The "Grey" personal and business themes
2. The OEM version of Advanced Call Manager
I have tried copying various files backfrom the old memory card, but with no luck. The reason I was unable to make a proper backup is there is no backup function in the application for Mac as there is with PC Suite for Windows.
Thanks.

I've gotten two memory cards 2GB then 8GB and the same thing happened. Also, the backup in 'PC Suite' mode misses some files. So what I did was connect my phone in 'Data Transfer' (USB connection) and physically copy those files that I wanted to my pc then back to the new memory card. Should sort out most of your troubles.
Symbian connected me to the world, to my dreams.. Thank-you Nokia

Nokia C3-00 mesage save in memory card.

I have a Nokia C3-00 mobile.
I send a lot of sms. but i cant have them all deleted.
so i need to save my sms in the memorycard.
Bucause the mobile internal memory is puny.
what to do now.

If the C3-00 Messaging app does not have (support) a setting to use the memory card for storing messages, then all you can do is to live with the limitaiton, or switch to a phone model that does (or has more memory).
