N97 memory management: moving text messages

The saga of optimizing memory usage on the N97 by hand continues. Having determined that text messages (have a lot) are being stored by default in C: (as per Settings/Other/Memory in Use), how do I transfer them over to E: and still have full access to all without loss? Will just changing the setting over to E: do the trick?

But also be aware that storing ANYTHING on C memory on the N97 that you are not FORCED to will result in the N97 grinding to a halt anyway !! Always instal everythingyou possibly can on E mass memory, it's the only way to survive with the N97. Also if you can aggord £8 buy and install RamBlow, it's the best thing I found to make the N97 'Usable'
Good Luck

  • N97 doesn't send text messages?

    I purchased my N97 on release date, and up until now, it has been texting fine, however, as of yesterday I have been unable to send text messages and when I attempt to, they just sit in the outbox telling me to retry sending them later.
    I can receive messages perfectly fine and I am on O2-UK, if that's any help?
    Please could someone help? It's getting kind of annoying... 

    This is an airtime supplier issue. Contact O2 and confirm they have not changed your contract settings and ask them to txt you the correct settings to your phone, have answered many posts on this subject, it is inevitably down to O2,Vodafone,Orange,T-moblile etc etc. They all seem to have been messing about with settings last few weeks, I had similar prob, and took 5 calls for someone to realize they had removed the service from my contract. Be persistant with them !
    Good Luck

  • N97 - I cant send text messages! Help

    Hey guys,
    so I basically have this really weird problem. I have an unlocked Nokia N97 and got a sim card from ATT with unlimited texting. Everything was perfect, but two days ago I couldn't send text messages anymore, but I can still receive them. When I want to send a txt msg, it automatically goes into the outbox and says it will be resended later. My message center number is correct, so this is not the problem. I called ATT and they were like it is the phone problem because its not an ATT phone.
    Has anybody encountered the same kind of problemm with N97? Can anybody help me please?
    Thanks!!

    well from last 2 days i am also facing same prob, i am also using open n97, and using it from 4 5 months,  but suddenly i cant sent msg ? msg stays in the out box and didn't send, even i am receiving the sms and my mms is also working and going on,  but only cant send SMS. please help this is very annoying.. and i am using the latest update firmware. 
    i reset settings to factory default but it didnt solve my prob and then
    i reinstall the firmware again but still same prob,
    i check my sim car in different phone and its working fine.
    and i put other sim car in n97 then still its not sending any SMS. means there is some prob in N97 and not in sim cards.
    thanks.

  • Memory management, Moving media files.

    Hi guys.
    I've just recently installed a 4GB MSD/HC card with a view to freeing up some memory on the phone itself. I was hoping to move all my music, videos and images to the memory card.
    The images moved across fine with only a little bit of trouble from "Desktop Photo Applet", but once I redirected it to the card things are now OK there.
    I'd also like to do the same with all the music tracks and videos that are stored in phone memory, but as soon as I moved most of the music tracks, media player started going mammaries skyward, complaining it couldn't find tracks. needless to say I moved them back and didn't bother trying to move the videos.
    Is there any effective way of doing this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    did you give the media player enough time to refresh the files?
    When I've moved stuff before, after a few seconds the media player says obtaining information on new media files.
    Once it has refreshed, everything worked ok

  • N86 Problems, text messages moving

    Hi all, got a bit of a problem!
     My N86 seems to be moving text messages that im sure ive sent,to the drafts without me realizing, so people are getting angry thinking ive not text back!
    any ideas what would make the phone move them to drafts like this??
    many thanks
    alex m

    Well i phoned them, their latest minimum on the system is the 10. something one,  ive updated to 11 over the air, but cant get any higher than that.
    The PC wont find the phone on the updater, ive tried resintalling suite, the updater, resetting the phone etc, and it still wont find the phone through the updater, but works in PC suite fine, i was hoping it would find v20 through this if it wont find it through the air.
    This is a new phone they just sent out today, and i dont think its a network issue as i tried the SIM in another phone and it works fine.... have i got you stuck yet?

  • Trouble deleting text messages from Extravert 2

    My daughter and I both recently got the LG Extravert 2 and have both had the same problem. I was the first to have the problem with not being able to delete messages, but I was able to solve it after turning my phone off and removing the battery for 30 secs. But I can't seem to get my daughters phone to do the same. I've made sure the messages aren't locked (I've even locked them and then unlocked them), I've checked all the settings, I've tried to delete all messages in the inbox, all messages from an individual, and deleting each message one at a time; none of which have actually worked. It always tells me that it has worked, but then it returns to the inbox and all the same messages are there. I don't get any kind of error message, or anything saying it can't complete the action. It's getting really frustrating because this phone doesn't seem to have that much of a memory for storing text messages, and once it's full, wont accept any new messages. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

    That's about when I started having the same problem with mine. I actually just had to get a new one sent to me because the first one completely froze up on me and wouldn't turn back on. So far, no problem with the new one, but I haven't tried to delete anything. While on the phone with the tech person for that problem, I asked about the software update that Z1234 referred to, but she knew nothing about it. She recommended that I call LG directly and ask about it. I haven't done that yet, but will try this week.
    I did manage to figure out a slight loophole. If you go to the main screen (press the lock button, slide or drag lock screen.. now you're at the main screen. Sorry, I have no idea about technical terms here! lol ) then slide to the right, it should come up with all your texts listed in order of when they were sent/received. Then open each one individually and then erase. Such a pain it the butt, but I was able to delete most of them. Had a lot of them still stuck though.
    Anyway, glad to know that it's not just us, but sorry you're having the same problem. I know how frustrating it is! If I find out something new on the update, I'll try to post. We're leaving for a week long camping trip on saturday, so I'm pretty busy this week! But I know my daughter is going to be itching to get her hands on her phone again (just dropped her at camp today and phones aren't allowed!) so I'd like to get it figured out before we pick her up!

  • Nokia N97 - No Text Message Notification and a Few...

    I love my nokia n97, but i'm rapidly falling out of love with it, i have owned it since the end of august and this is the first time i have really hit a major problem with it.
    The main problem being is, that the phone no longer gives me a text message notification or noise in that it being on the home screen it does say "1 new message" and i have to constantly have my inbox open to see when i have a new message and constantly check it all the time, for a person who is texting constantly this is probably one of the most annoying problems. If it makes any odds its using the mass memory.
    I called the support line and have tried the following:
    - Upgraded the firmware (no effect)
    - Hard reset the phone (without the backed up data on it, the text message notification works, after placing data back on it, problem comes along again)
    - Cleared cache (no different)
    - Hard reset the phone and restored data on phone without the settings (this has worked for a while, less than a day, and is now playing up again)
    Along with a few other problems that have started which i am confused whether it is the actual application or my phone that is the issue with this:
    Facebook - No longer works proberly, freezes regulary, excessively slow at loading any content up.
    AccuWeather - Can never find my location through gps and sometimes unable to load data for a pre-set location.
    -At points through the day i do get error messages too that don't really make much sense, "cannot retrieve data" "error" and "internal error, reset phone"
    Also when hard resetting the phone the second time round, originally built in applications disappeared so i had to re-download them through Ovi Store again.
    Other problems include phone basically freezing regulary mainly on startup, and start up time being long before it lets me push a button, and loading content for the homescreen, the 3 widgets and the speed-dail take excessively longer than they use tooo.
    My phone is suppose to be getting 'repaired' within 48 hours, is this true? I got told by a friend that his took 2 weeks+.
    Or a replacement and how does this work and who is responsible for giving me a replacement. (Nokia, t-mobile, mobilephonesdirect?)
    Could all these problems be linked back to a faulty sim card?
    What on earth has happened to my phone, is this fixable, isit a software bug that cannot be sorted, why has this happened, why now, i have never run into any problems before?
    Is there something in the data, i can't think of anything, if so what?
    This problem started totally randomly?
    Isit somesort of weird memory issue?
    If i was to get a new phone, will i not run into the same problem again, what happens if i do? Do they keep replacing it or fixing it all the time?
    Sorry for a long post, hope someone here can help......

    N97 is going back in again today for them to confirm it is un-repairable and then they are going to send me out a new one.
    The guy said it was a software issue which was caused by t-mobile putting their own software on the phone, which is absolutely stupid, if operator's software is going to cause a phone to malfunction, then don't let it on!!!

  • Copying Text Messages from Phone Memory

    I have managed to backup all my text messages from SIM Card to Computer, but I still have around 55 messages in my Phone (in Phone Memory), I need to backup them as well,
    Could anyone please tell me how can I copy text messages from Phone Memory to SIM?
    The reason I need to copy them onto SIM Card because the Original Phone can’t be connect to PC so I have to copy all Text Messages onto SIM and use another latest phone to connect to PC,
    thanks

    you will probably have to send them to another phone via forward of sms to email, or forward of sms to sms.

  • TS4268 iPhone users can no longer send me text messages now that i've moved to a non-iOS phone. Can iMessage service or Message users be refreshed to see me as a normal text message recipient?

    iPhone users can no longer send me text messages now that i've moved to a non-iOS phone. Can iMessage service or Message users be refreshed to see me as a normal text message recipient?
    I still have an iPhone, but haven't turned it on for weeks. And there's no SIM in it, so no cell service, just WiFi.  When I turn it on after a prolonged period of having it off (weeks), a bunch of messages popup that should have been forwarded to my new phone (same phone number and carrier as when I was an iPhone user) but appear to sit in iMessage queue indefinitely instead.
    I'm guessing it has to do with the link that's made when an iPhone first realizes that it's talking to another iPhone and defaults, for all future texts, to iMessage.  You know, the green to blue switch.  How does that association get undone?
    Has anyone else seen this, and if so, is there a fix?

    your number can remain on the imessage server for some time

  • 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.

  • Moving your text messages when you upgrade

    I have just moved from the iPhone 4 to 5c. None of my old text messages have automatically moved over. Please can anyone tell me how I can do his manually?

    Backup the 4 using iTunes, Restore 5c from that backup.

  • Looking for Mac software that manages text messages on Nokia 6300

    iSync only manages contacts and calendar. How do I send and receive text messages on my Mac? I would greatly appreciate it if anyone in the forum can give a hint. I have been using Nokia PC Suite in VMWare Fusion and it was very slow and annoying. Thanks in advance.

    1) it can't read text messages from my Nokia phone;
    If you look at the compatibility list you'll see that its because your phone does not provide a public way to read SMS over Bluetooth. So, nothing that can be done about that.
    2) I am still trying to find out how I can send a message to many recipients at the same time.
    Just enter more than one number into the TO field of a message. You can also send to Address Book groups.

  • 5700 refuses to send text messages saying memory i...

    Hi
    Could anyone help me with this problem? I cannot send any text messages from my 5700 as it keeps saying the memory is full and asks me to close some applications and try again.
    The thing is that I never installed any new ones. It is just the same way as when I got a few months ago. I cleared my phone memory and my memory card, restored factory settings, reset the phone, tried taking out the card and/or the battery and sim and everything I thought might be causing this, but in vain.
    Does anyone know what I can do?
    Thank you in anciticipation

    I had the same problem with my N95. I sought advice and was told to do a hard reset.
    Firstly, back up your phone. Then type in *#7370# followed by the code 12345, which is the default Nokia code, unless you've changed it. As I say, that's for the N95. I don't know if it's the same for your 5700.
    I must re-iterate, back up your phone as the hard reset will clear EVERYTHING!!
    Good luck.

  • Is there anyway to manage my contacts or an app so that I can temporarily block text messages at certain times of the day?

    Hi,
    I am wanting to block text messaging that I sometimes receive from clients after hours, and I want to know is there an app like there is for android phones that has lists that you can create so certain people can be sent an auto reply when they send you a message?
    I don't want to block the numbers completely just at weekends and/or after hours and I still want to be able to receive phone calls from those numbers as an option.
    I am on the Vodafone NZ network
    Thanks
