N97 mini: messages

Hi,
I have a very annoying problem with my new Nokia N97 mini.
When I get a message from someone, my phone is only showing me the number of this person instead of showing me the name of the person. This is very annoying because I don't know all those numbers...
Can please anyone help me? Because a lot of stores where I told my story couldn't help me.
Thanks

It will be multiple entries, you either have two manes attached to one number, or in settings in contacts you are either using multiple memories or sim memory, you need to set to Phone memory as source for caller ID to work. Best way to check for multiple entries is to go through your contacts in Ovi Suite, many posts on this subject, it's always multiple entry !!

No notification of Messages in N97 mini

My phone has only +100 contacts and +3900 messages but whenever a new message arrives there is no notification about it on the screen nor the ringtone is played for the sms
When i format the phone the problem is not there but as i restore my data (contacts and messages) back the same problem contineus but when i restore the same data to any other phone ( including n97 mini ) the problem is not there.
Also when i try to restore the backup which i had originally restored in my n97s from n95 8gb ( my previous phone ) the restroing process hangs when it reaches the messages but it works fine in other phones
I went to nokia care they said we can't help it !!!
According to them there is a virus or 1 one of the message is corrupt
still to make sure i scanned my phone with a mobile anti virus
but as far as i know there is no virus known till now for s60 phones and how can a message be corrupt as it is a single 1 kb file ???
when i explained this to them they said that nokia gives garuntee till 999 messages but i could'nt find this writen anywhere in the end user agreement
and their suppervisor suggested me to write my problem here.

it's possible i guess that the database has become corrupt.
a soution might be to syncronise, or drag the messages to your computer using the ovi suite, or even better the pc suite. delete them from the phone and then drag them back again.
though i can't for the life of me think why you don't just delte them.
There's no dignity in begging for kudos. Do it for the karma.

N97 Mini Nokia messaging hangs

hi all....
nokia messaging used to work fine on my N97 Mini until I updated the firmware to v30.0.004 from the earlier 12.x
now after i configure my gmail account the messages either dont update or the phone hangs. i cannot remove the mailbox either!! i cannot get rid of the nokia email software from the phone.
please help

If that word(phrase in your case) is added to the predictive dictionary you can't do that and the device consider it as a single word, if the word is not used frequently you will not get this so stop using it for sometime(as a single word) or a better way i can think of now is to hit the space bar without fail for those kind of words.
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

Add contact detail to a message Nokia N97 Mini

Hi, I bought a Nokia N97 Mini in January, and I still can't resolve this problem: I don't know how to add a contact detail to the body of any text message. I have had several Nokia phones, for years, and I remember that if you wanted to send a text message, lets say to a friend and this friend asked you for someone else's phone number in order to send it you just start a new message> insert content> contact detail, then you just chose the contact you'd like to send the phone number of and that's it. Now, I can't figure out how to do it with my new phone. Sorry if I sound silly, it's just that I don't know where else to look for. Thnx!

Hi,
I beleive you are using MS Outlook.
Try the following workaround.
Manual sync
Open Nokia Ovi Suite--> Sync--> Sync option--> Uncheck the sync automatically everytime you connect the device.
Then Sync--> Sync now--> Contact,
Repair the "pst" and the "ost" Outlook files as in the following location.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\SCANPST.EXE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\SCANOST.EXE
Right click the above mentioned exe file and 'Run' it.
NOTE
It's adviced to take a back- up of the user's Outlook folders to avoid any loss of information.
Check with Microsoft support pages for more information.

No message/call notification (N97 Mini)

Hello,
I've been having this problem for a while now. I don't get any notification when I recieve a call or message. (No vibrating or ringtone) However, the vibrating and sound does work in the phone.
I've tried rebooting my phone, but this didn't do the trick. Are there others with a similar problem, and if yes, does anyone know how to solve this?
(I tried to do some 'research' but haven't seen anyone else with this problem. However I did see people with a N97 mini who's vibrating didn't work at all. This isn't the problem in this case, my vibration works perfectly, but not when recieving a call or message).
Thanks in advance,
vebavo

N97 Mini Move message folder to Mass Storage

Ok, I'd like to get this right for once and for all. I'm challenging the Move message to Mass storage feature. These are the steps:
0) I have two message in my Inbox, Remove and replace the battery and switch on the device. After that I format E:Mass Storage and close File manager
1) In Messaging Options I select Settings and than Other and change the Memory in user to E:Mass Storage
2) I'm asked if I'd like to "copy all messages to the new message memory". I click on "Yes"
3) I'm asked if I'd like to "Save original messages" and I click "No" as I'd like to use the new stoage exclusively
After that the Inbox is empty.

Hi Guys.
My problem is slightly different.
I have a Nokia N97 Mini
The other day i was trying to speed up my phone, so i did the following:
1. Entered menu
2. Selected option for: Settings
3. Selected option forhone
4. Selected option for:Application Sett.
5. Selected option for:Messaging
6. Selected option forther
7. Set memory in use from: C: Phone memory to E: Mass Memory
At the time it asked me if i wanted to copy my messages or if i wanted to move them, so i moved the,.
Then i realised the phone messaging feature got even slower so decided to move them back and go back to original settings.
So went through the procedure again and did reverse of step 7 above.
But this time it didnt ask me to move or copy the messages.
I have gone into PC Suite, and backed up my messages whilst having the settings to E: Mass memory in step 7, then restoring back onto the phone with C: Phome memory in step 7.
This didnt work either.
Any ideas?

N97 mini: loudness of message tone

hello,
in am using the general profile on a Nokia N97 mini. The loudness of 'message alert tone' is too loud for me.I don't find a variable where I can change the loudness of the 'incoming message' (sms) tone.

Yes, ringing tone volume controls message tone too. It would be nice to have separate controls. As advised above, you need to try to sort a quieter message tone if you still need the louder ringing volume.
Alternatively, create a "quiet" profile where both ringing and message volume is low enough not to disturb the room, yet loud enough for you to notice.

N97 Mini - popup message [**bleep**]

My Nokia Flagship N97 Mini currently pops up messages like
"Invalid password, Check the password in Profile > Credential > Password."
**bleep**

**bleep** I like that =)

N97 mini text message editor shuts down by itself!

Whenever I try to write something in capital letters, the predictive text shuts down the whole messaging app! I just found this today trying to respond to my friend before I figured out what is wrong.
To answer his question where I am, I tried to write
"I'm in DC right now"
However, I only got to "I'm in D", as when I pressed C (I was using qwerty keyboard), the whole thing closed. It happened several times, and I could only respond once I turned predictive text off. Now, every time I try to just type in "DC" in the message with predictive text on, the whole thing shuts down!
Since this is a NAM phone, it's still running old firmware (wonder why updates are only available to phones in some parts of the world and not other?). Did anyone else experience that? Does new firmware fix it? Or am I again the only unlucky one with the weirdest bug

Hi,
I have version 12.2.110.232.01 on N97 mini and text editors (for SMS and email) delete the message and shut down the application whenever predictive text is enables and I type two consecutive capital letters....
Where you able to find a fix for this other than deactivating predictive text option?
Thanks for your help
Best regards
Gus

Data recovery from N97 mini

Hei all,
I’m using Nokia N97 mini.
Along with Phone memory and Mass memory, I inserted one 1GB memory card also.
Yesterday, I was trying to copy some files in ‘mass storage’ mode via cable into that 1GB card. While copying, some files could not be copied and I got error message.
So, I aborted the whole operation. From then, I couldn’t find my personal data from the Mass memory.
Along with some system folders on the mass memory, I have one folder ‘My data’ in which I save all my data.
I’m unable to see the ‘My data’ folder.
It shows that ~2GB memory is being used on mass memory. If I check the size of all folders that i can see, its only 45MB.
So, my folder is occupying space. But, i’m unable to see that.
Please help me in recovering my data.

Download and install an app from www.ovi.com called y-browser and see if that allows you to see your folder.

N97 Mini works slowly with data!

I'm using N97 Mini and I feel that this model working very hard at:
- Delete data such as: photo, music, video... special when I select more than one file. It's even hardly to open Options menu. After deleting, it still shows files that i've deleted until one minute later.
- The Ovi suite works hard so. It works incorrect when sync photos. There're 2.000 photos in my library and only 800 photos in my phone (synced Photos ), and more. I tried to copy new files to my phone using "copy to the device" action. It takes an evening to do this, and when i browse photos, i realize there's duplicated files ( 2, 3, even 4 same files).
That's all slow things I realized until now.

Hi, I find aeiting files easier using computer connected via usb in mass storage, go to 'my computer, open E or F drive and add, remove or edit files there !
Just remember to set memory in use for messages back to E when you've disconnected phone as it resorts to C after usb connection.
Good Luck

N97 mini - blank/unresponsive home screen & nokia ...

I have been having problems with my Nokia N97 mini. It froze yesterday, and I removed and re-installed the battery to restart the phone. When the phone came back on, the email widget had changed from Nokia email to the messaging email option (the one that you get under the messaging icon - it doesn't download in real time and rarely downloads the full message).
It froze again and I had to re-start it again, and this time, the home screen went completely blank. It either shows the little boxes for the various widgets (they're empty), or the screen is completely blank. Occasionally the screensaver (slideshow of images) comes on. The home screen is completely unresponsive, and the only way I can get the phone to function is by pressing the menu button and navigating from there.
I have tried to re-load my nokia email so as to fix the email problem, but whenever I go to the "Email setup" or "Sett. Wizard/Email" options (under applications) the phone freezes.
I should point out that my phone downloaded Nokia Messaging 10.2 today, and the update history section says that the update was successful, but I'm still having serious difficulties.
I have tried restoring factory settings, but that didn't help. I'm seriously considering trying a hard reset of my phone but am unable to back up my information using Nokia Ovi Suite.
Does anyone have any suggestions re how I can start enjoying my beautiful phone again?

I would recommend trying the hard reset. If you can't backup using Ovi Suite you could trying either synching your phone with Ovi Suite or MS outlook or backing up to a memory card. Better still do all the above to be sure.
