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 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.

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

N97 mini - close messaging application

A couple of times now the Messaging application was stuck and didn't respone to Exit actions. Leaving only removing and replacing the battery to get rid of it. Is there a more subtle way to close a rouge application?
I'm adding new topics to push Nokia N97 is the worst phone ever. Problem after p... of of the front page.

You might consider installing 'handy taskman'. Download a trial from http://epocware.mobi (you can download this straight to your phone, don't need to use a computer)
This application can be launched the usual way you'd launch the nokia task switcher (press and hold the menu key for a while), and it gives you an option to close an app, or if the app is not responding, it gives you an option to forcekill the app.
However, it's not free. You'd need to purchase a key after the trial expires.

N97 Mini email message deletion

Evening all,
All of a sudden I cannot delete email messages that appear on my email account on the phone. The wifes is all ok, it's just mine. When they appear I mark them all and then try and delete and the message "could not delete" appears every time.
I have installed the latest phone software version last night but to no avail.
Any advice?
Thanks

Try deleting all your mailboxes and internet access points, and nokia messaging if it's installed. Remove sim and battery, reboot phone without sim, allow to fully boot up. Then re-insert sim and set up a mailbox in the standard email client, hopefully this will work.
Or try profimail, though you shouldn't have to !
Good Luck

N97 mini + Ovi Player + Memory Card

Hi,
I cannot find how to transfer music with Ovi Player just inside the Memory Card "F" of the N97 mini and NOT inside the Mass Memory. How can I set the Ovi Player to do that?

Mass Storage -Hard Drive -Error 2STF/8/3:ATA-100ata-6-Master

I ran a hardware test and got the following error message on the Mass Storage (hard drive) device, what does it mean? Is the hard drive toast? Is there a way to fix this?
***error**
2STF/8/3:ATA-100ata-6-Master
***error***

That error indicates the hard drive is failing or has failed. It could be that the drive itself is at fault, or that it is not correctly connected, or that the ATA controller on the logic board is faulty. There are also indications that in some instances, that fault code can be generated by a problem with the optical drive which prevents the system correctly addressing the hard drive.
Of those, the only truly serious possibility is the ATA controller, since it would require replacement of the logic board, which is really not an economic repair.
In this situation, and assuming the system in not under warranty (clearly if it is, take it in for service) then I would remove the top, check the drive tray is correctly mounted, and remove the optical drive to see if the hard drive then functions. If not, then swap in another hard drive then try and set the new drive up. If it continues to fail with this error, it would then point to the logic board.

N97 mini: folder setting for image gallery / photo...

Hi I've just got a simple question: is it possible to choose the images folder(s) which are shown in photobrowser or image gallery on a n97 mini?
now it shows all the images on my device/mass storage/sdhc card, and I don't want that to happen. I want to be able to choose the folders which are shown. now it also shows all icons of my pois inthere, so i've got over 400 images (all images which are used by programs) while there are only about 50 files in the images folder.
now i have to scroll through 350 images which i don't need, just to find 1 photo i want to use as a background.
hoping that there will be a software update which allows for changing these settings, so that it only shows the folders I want to use.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can use X-plore from "lonelycatgames" , to hide an entire folder, but those images are used by programs this would be of no use.
If you are interested to know how:
1ownload and install X-plore, their website, (trial works as good as full, with a just a splash screen at startup)
2: Open it, Create a folder any where on memory card. Or if you know the folders where "those 400" pictures reside, navigate to it.
3: click Options>file>attributes>and tick "Hidden" it'll ask "Do you want to edit attributes of all file in this folder?" click yes.
Now all the file in a particular folder are hidden, so they won't show up in gallery.

N97 restarts when connecting to PC via Mass Storag...

Hi guys,
My friend has a N97 and she changed the font using E:\Resource\Fonts\ folder method. The font was successfully changed; however, she didn't like it.
So she decided to change back the font, but whenever she connects the N97 to PC via "Mass Storage" mode, the phone restarts itself, and by that I mean EVERY SINGLE TIME it'll restart.
Therefore we tried "PC Suite" mode, but we're unable to make any changes to the Fonts folder (ie delete / rename / cut-paste).
I've also tried using X-plore, but whenever I try to delete the [s60snr.ttf/etc...] files, xplore will give me an error: "Can't Delete File: E:\Resource\Fonts". I'm sure that the file isn't in "read-only" if that helps anyone.
The fonts are stored in the 30gb internal memory inside the N97, so it's impossible to swap out the memory and delete on another phone/computer.
I appreciate any answers

Hi Guys,
I had same problem with my N97 mini. I do not have external memory card. I installed 'FONTS' in my mass memory. Font changed but if I connect my phone in mass storage mode, phone resets.
Here is what I did,
1. Copy all my data in PC using PC suit mode ( I suspect back utility will not work here because it will restore the back up including fonts folder in mass memory. I am not sure though). Also copy RESOURCE folder in your PC ( you can delete fonts folder in this copied folder in PC. I made a mistake of copying only RESOURCE folder you can copy all the folders from mass memory and restore it later.
2. disconnect the phone from PC
3. Open , Office --> File mgr. --> Mass Memory --> got to options --> Scroll down --> format mass memory.
That's it.
Your phone will be 'shut down' after formatting is completed.
Restart the phone connect it to PC suit. You might not be able to see mass memory. In that case connect it in ' mass memory' mode. You can find your phone is not resetting. Copy RESOURCE folder from PC with out fonts folder.
You may reinstall firmware and reinstall all the application you need.
It worked form me. Hope it works for you. Do it on your own risk. Do not forget to copy the data from mass memory.
You may find HARD RESET options (*#7370#) but it only resets your C drive and not F OR G Drive.
If you have installed Fonts in G (External memory). I guess you can just remove it from phone and remove the fonts folder easily. Just remove external memory use card reader to connect it to PC and remove.

Annoying messages bug when using mass storage to s...

As you all well know the c: drive on n97 is quite small. I have about +2000 messages on my phone and I use the 32gb mass storage to store all of my emails and sms's.
It works ok untill I connect my phone to pc using mass storage mode. The first thing it does is it says e: drive unavailable - using c: to store messages. Ok - that makes sense BUT the darn thing doesn't switch back to using e: drive when I unplug it from the computer. Instead I have to switch it back to e: manually (from sms settings and email settings). It's also impossible to move messages that I have received while using mass storage mode to the drive e:
I really hope that nokia does sth about this matter. It's the single most annoying bug that this phone has.

To answer a few questions here...
The way the mass memory is broadcast to the computer when connected in PC Suite mode is called "OBEX". It's a kind of file transfer protocol. When it's connected in "mass storage" mode it uses an industry standard usb-storage protocol exactly like pen drives, external hard drives, external CD/DVD drives etc.
The difference between the two is that in mass storage mode, the phone relinquishes control of the storage space and hands it over to the host computer. That way, the computer sees everything on that device and it also happens to be compatible with more or less every operating system under the sun. In PC Suite mode, the phone retains control of the storage space and decides what to let the computer "see". Directories that are crucial to the phone's operation, such as "private" and "system", are not shown to the computer. Added to that, the computer needs specific drivers to be able to use the OBEX protocol, and this excludes non-mainstream operating systems.
As for being able or unable to transfer messages from one area to the other, the reason is fairly simple. Messages are stored in their own directory inside the "private" directory. If, for example, there's no such directory set up on E: when you want to choose that drive for storing messages, the phone considers that it has never been used for this and therefore asks you if you want to copy your messages from C: to E: so that they're still available to you once you switch over. If, OTOH, there is already a trace of E: having been used for storing messages (ie. if the messaging directory inside E:\Private does exist) then the phone considers that you might not want to clobber what's already there and doesn't offer to replace them with what's on C:.

Media Sync Error - enable mass storage manually message repeats

I have a blackberry 8310 with an extra memory card installed.
Every time I try to use Blackberry Media Sync I get an error message that reads: The connected Blackberry device required mass media storage mode to be enabled manually, please do so from your device and click Retry.
However when I have enabled mass media mode manually and clicked retry, it gives me the exact same message, or sometimes sits there saying connecting to Blackberry device indefinitely.
I have checked for updates both for my desktop software (version 5.0.1) and my Media Sync software (Version 2.0.0.27) all other software is working normally, and I can move music to my device with media manager (which I only tried after receiving the error message about 20 times).
Any suggestions?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Have you used this media card in a different Blackberry and used media sync
with it? Please read the link on the bottom of the post about Media Sync.
DId you format it in the Blackberry when you received it?
On solely your Blackberry, can you store a picture and retrieve it?
Go to options>memory and set the following options:
Use the following settings in the memory option of the device:
Compressions enabled
Media card support ON
Media transfer protocol ON (Storm and Bold only)
Mass storage support ON
Auto enable Mass storage support when connected ON
Save all changes. Now back out of the memory section and go to security>encryption> DISABLE.
Do a battery pull as listed below and let us know how it goes.
Thanks,
