N78 Sim Card Memory Full (but it isn't).

Hi, my first post here as I've been trying to find answers to an issue I'm having at the moment, so hope you can be of help.
I need to reformat my N78, so need to backup my contacts into the SIM card. When I try to mark all and copy to SIM memory but got the error message "Memory full: SIM memory" even though the card was already empty. I then went into SIM Numbers and tried to manually add each contact into the SIM memory, but could only get as far to 20 contacts out of over 120+ and be told the memory's full!
Can anyone please help solve this frustrating problem?

1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list.
2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone
3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is dead proceed with reflash if not, turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
re-flash - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons
If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service.
try the second code, if you want to go that route. download nokia pc suite so you can do a back up of your stuff and you can restore it once you do a reformat. how old is your sim card? sometimes its just a matter of getting an newer card that solves many issues. yes it might be something to do with your sim card being corrupt. perhaps you already have those contacts on the sim card and if you try to add even more it tells you that the memory is full. did you try saving your contacts to memory card?

    I finally figured out how to delete SMS text messages from the SIM card.  Open a text that you sent or you received from someone.  Open the menu then "view folder" option.  All of your sent and received text messages will be stored here and can be deleted.

    Well, if you did it yourself, then there is a chance that you damaged some other component inside the device that is causing your issue. The iPhone's are not user serviceable, and once you have opened the device you have voided any warranty and post-warranty support from Apple. I would try Google to see if you can find any other way to repair your device, as Apple will no longer look at it.

    Then the SIM may have failed. Try removing and re-inserting it. If that doesn't fix it, you will have to get the SIM replaced by your carrier.

  • HT1212 I found an iphone over one year ago. Its locked with a passcode. I kept waiting for the owner to call it. They never did. I went to ATT store today, they put a new sim card in it. but now itunes needs the passcode to reset it to factory settings.

    I found an iphone over one year ago. Its locked with a passcode. I kept waiting for the owner to call it. They never did. I went to an AT&T store today, they put a new sim card in it. and told me to go home, log on to itunes, and restore the phone to "factory settings".But itunes says the phone is locked and it needs the passcode to reset it to factory settings.
    Any workaround? Or, am I doing something wrong here?
    Thanks so much.

    Sounds like you may be the owner of a new phone!  If you don't need or want it and no one claims it you probably can sell it. Check eBay to see what the going rate is.
    You are to be commended for at least trying to find the owner. Many wouldn't. 
    Best.

    did you manually install an update on your phone? It is likely your phone has unnecessary apps installed when you did an upgrade or first used it. under the Setup icon go to Personalization then select languages and check if you only have the necessary languages. If not check under the other applications under there so that you know you have realistic applications on your phone.

  • Network recognises SIM card and modem,  but still cannot connect.  but the

    I have a Huawei E 220 modem. After downloading a duff Vodafone update, I lost my connection and even with fresh software could never quite get the modem to connect, even though it was speaking to the network. I´ve changed to another provider Telefonica Movistar in Spain (who own O2 in the rest of Europe), and this shows in the program window that I have 3G connection, a good signal, the Sim card is recognised, and that I am registered. However when I ask it to connect, it gives to error messages, the first of which is that it has not been possible to start the "Tool" and the next asking me to check the connection and start again. Unlike the Vodafone program there are no obvious windows allowing you to alter phone numbers or security codes (in fact there don´t seem to be any).
    Has anyone any idea what has gone wrong? I´ve deinstalled the and reinstalled both programs a number of times. Everything works fine until I click to connect to the internet.
    All I can think of is that there is something left somewhere from the duff program, but I have no idea where to look for it.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I went through all the settings in Internet Connect including preferences with the Vodafone set up, and they were eventually all correct, even though for some reason the number of asterisks in the coded sections seems to bear no relation to how many characters you entered . The modem was connecting to the network, went to "authenticating", and then could not "negotiate" a connection.
    In the new system with Telefonica, i can´t work out if it connects to Internet Connect, or is entirely self contained. I think the latter, as there are no settings in the Internet Connection which refer to it (Actually I had wiped every setting I could find before installing in case old Vodafone settings might be causing the problem). As it is, the blue light flashes, indicating a high Speed connection and the Movistar pane shows a good connection, that the card is "registrado" which I think means connected, but it then fails at the authentication point, just like Vodafone. As I understand the error messages, which are in Spanish, it then seems to think that the modem is not correctly installed and asks me to check the connections again. The preferences window for this Movistar program does not give you the option of entering phone numbers or passwords, other than the Sim card code which you get on any mobile phone and which is not network relevant.
    other than that and choosing what service you want from it and the connection sppeds which are set to mobile internet and automatic respectively, the movistar set up doesn´t give away any options.
    it seems to me that there is some simple software setting problem that remains from the duff program, but I just can´t work out where it might be. The first time I tried to solve a mobile modem program problem (which eventually was solved by downloading a later version of the mobile software), i ended up losing one of the core OSX prgrams, which I assumed was a part of the mobile modem set-up, and I don´t want to do that again. One of the weaknesses of the Apple support and problem solving system is that it does rather depend on you having internet access. When access is actuallay the problem and you have to go out to internet cafes and find solutions using cranky windows machines and internet expolorer which doesn´t seem to work seamlessly with Apple pages, it really gets to be longwinded drag.

  • Cant take or view photos, says memory full but set...

    I cant access my photos via menu/photos/captured  it says Photos; memory full, close some applications and try again.
    I  have looked at settings when camera is on and its set to save images to E: Mass drive.
    My phones C drive free memory is around 43MB as ive just cleared it, anyone any ideas?

    It is ram that the phoneis screaming about and not your mass memory. Press the menu key the silver one for a few seconds it will pull up all open apps close some and see if it helps

  • Memory full but not.

    Hello,
    My Z30 is telling me that the device memory is full.  The Device Monitor is saying that I have 8G of user files on the built in memory but when I go to the file manager there is nothing I can delete.
    I did load it up but then moved music to the Micro SD memory card.  Since then it has still shown as full.  I have tried a hard reset several times.
    I can send screen shots I just don't see where I can do it on this form.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    Shawn

  • Start up disk memory full but can I replace my memory with 1GB disk?

    My start up disk memory is full. I have delete a majority of cluttered mess I do not need but I know that I will fill it up fairly soon. I have an external hard drive but how do I put some of my files onto that? If I put it on the hard-drive will I only be able to access it with the hard-drive plugged in?
    And I currently have 512MB put into my Powerbook. Can I add in a 1GB memory card into my Powerbook without losing any of my files? And if I will lose my files will the Apple store (where I plan to get 1GB memory put in) put all my files on a disk and then replace it?

    You can only use your external drive if it is hooked up, through direct USB/Firewire or through a network.
    Adding RAM has no effect on the files you have on your hard drive. I'd suggest, considering how much Apple overcharges for RAM, that you get third party RAM and install it yourself, its not that hard.

  • IPhone 5S says storage full - but it isn't?!

    I've got an iPhone 5S, approximately 8 months old. For a while, it's been coming up with a notification to say the storage is almost full. I've gone into General > Usage to see what my apps are using altogether, but as far as I can see the apps I've got do not add up to the 12GB memory which my phone should have?!
    Has anybody else been experiencing this problem? Alongside the storage issue, when I try to open an app (for example, Whatsapp) it opens yet immediately closes. Something's not right - can anybody help?!

    far as I can see the apps I've got do not add up to the 12GB memory which my phone should have?!
    Exactly, how much do they add up to?

  • Startup Disk Almost Full (but it isn't!)

    Hello all,
    I've had a problem recently with my iBook G4 where I get a warning that my 'start up disk is almost full' every hour or so. The thing is, when I look at the Finder (or the Activity Monitor) it shows I have almost 8 gigs of hard drive free (and usually 200 plus megs of memory.)
    I recently was advised that I needed more RAM, as the person thought maybe system resources were taking up my extra memory, so I put in 512. This seemed to make the problem less frequent, but has not stopped it (it was happening multiple times an hour prior to the memory upgrade.) Incidentally, I do keep my firmware updated.
    Also, for what it's worth, I try to keep as few applications open as possible--this will happen when I am only running iTunes and Safari.
    I suppose it's not the end of the world to have the warning pop up all the time, but it is pretty irritating.
    All suggestions welcome.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Hey Ben!
    What size hard drive is inside your iBook?
    It's recommended to have 10% free space at minimum and 25% for "optimal" performance.

  • TC says disk is full, but it isn't

    Hi There,
    My 500 GB Time Capsule now and then gives me the message "Disk is almost Full" (roughly translated from dutch) and states that older backups will be overwritten.
    When I check disk however, there still is more then enough space left (something like 240 GB).
    Is there something wrong? Are older backups overwritten? Is there a setting I've mist, where you can set the maximum backup usage size?
    Thanks in advance,
    Benjamin

    I get this error message or I get "The backup is larger than the available space" (which it isn't).
    I have no idea what the solution is but I'm done with Time Machine and Time Capsule, I'm switching my 1TB TC to a NAS and reverting to Mac Backup at least that way I can restore libraries simply rather than having to remember file names etc.
