Nokia C5-03 Error: Memory full. Close some applica...

Hi,
I purchased this phone mainly to use for Navigation and phone, but disappointed by the error shows up every time when you are in need while using Map.
I do not have any extra applications running other than it came with. I have closed all the running application which running map. Phone software and Map is upto date with version (V22.0.007 and 2.45 on map) Earlier versions also same problem. Currently the available memory shows 27.2 MB)
I tried all the solutions given in /t5/Hardware-Codes-and-Operator/Nokia-C5-03-SIM-memory-full-but-NO-SIM-MESSAGES/m-p/1260683#M25236, but no use. Same error.
Is there any way out other than choosing another phone and brand?
Regards
Simon
Moderator's notes: Post moved into it's own thread.

I am completely frustrated with this phone (Nokia C5-03). I originally wanted a smartphone but didn't want to buy the brand leader like everyone else so I thought I could rely on a Nokia. I have had this phone for less than 12 months now and I have already done a full reset TWICE and have lost all of my information. On both occasions when the memory problems starting occurring with the phone I tried to back up my info to my PC but the phone told me that I had "not enough memory to perform operation"!!!! I am now getting memory full messages every 10 minutes and the phone will do nothing for me.
There is nothing left on the phone to delete. I had my email synched to the phone originally for about two weeks but had to get rid of it as it was slowing the phone down. I never connect to the internet with the phone - I mean NEVER. In browsing the web for solutions I am constantly finding varied and interesting comments about clearing the cache via the web app (I cannot connect to the web on the phone now - NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO PERFORM OPERATION) and connecting my phone to a PC and browsing the memory to find out what the "other files" are (NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO PERFORM OPERATION) or even downloading software onto the computer, running this in the background as I connect phone to PC in order to clear the memory (NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO PERFORM OPERATION).
I reiterate that I use the phone for nothing other than SMS and calls. I had images on the phone but they are long gone. I have done two full resets to factory default settings and I'm facing another one and I am beyond frustrated. Please dont tell me to connect to my PC (see above) dont tell me to connect to web via phone (see above). My phone memory is showing 22MB SIS applications (which I understand I cannot get rid off) and 46MB other files (WHY????) I reiterate that I do not (and now cannot) browse the web on the phone, I don't use e-mail on the phone, all I do is sms and calls. WHY WHY WHY is my phone not working? Is there anything to be done with this phone or do I put it out of its misery?

Software or even hard reset perhaps is the only way for a quick solution/fix, but first back up using for example Outlook using Nokia Suite or Funambol.
Not a nice problem you having here.
PS Are you using the phone to connect to a server with the built in file manager or do you use for example Whats Up DS

Memory full: Close some applications

Hi there
I own a 701 running Belle Feature Pack 1, updated 4 months ago.
The update gave me a nicer battery life, though I have a strange application with the name 'aknspasrv' that is constantly running in the background . I got to know about this from the battery monitor app.
Also I'm a hardcore multitasker on the phone, getting back to the point...after more than about 36 hours of my device booting up if I try to launch any sort of application (even messaging) the system says that the memory is full and I have to close some apps and try again (even text messages wont be sent) closing applications doesnt work at times, so I have to restart the phone. Whereas I've tried using more than 15 apps like maps, browser, gallery, file manager, etc. all at the same time running in the background before the update and it worked just fine.
Please help...

I have exactly the same problem with my 808 Pureview. Memory is running out in random situations, it has nothing to do with the amount of programs open.
I'll just encounter a problem with some app launching, and then I get notification: "Idle: memory is full. Please close applications and ... " something like that translated from finnish.
I recently made factory reset to my phone, and problems with the memory seems to disappear. But I still have that 'aknspasrv' open in background applications.
Please Nokia Support, give us a a answer. What is that mysterical aknspasrv app? It seems to suck all life from my otherwise excellent phone!
EDIT: I just contacted Nokias support via chat. They said that "aknspasrv" is not Nokia application. So it is probably some 3rd party software.

Nokia C5-03 SIM memory full... but NO SIM MESSAGES...

Hello everyone. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, I'm new here.
Recently my C5-03 has a flashing envelope on the screen saying the SIM memory is full.
I searched on Google and found some topics saying to go to Messages -> SIM messages and delete them...
But problem is... no SIM messages appear! I'm desperate and can't find any other solution... what can I do?!
Solved!

Hi Hardstylehunt3r,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the Nokia discussion forums.
Sorry to hear about your issue but there certain steps you can try to resolve this issue.
Memory full messages may occur if there are too many applications running at the same time or if there is not enough free space in the phone memory. Depending on the error message, the following actions can be taken:
"Memory Full: Close some applications and try again"
In this case there are too many applications active at the same time. The problem can be fixed by closing some of the applications:
Long press the Menu key to see the list of active applications.
Select the applications which are not needed and close them.
If this doesn't help, switch off and restart the phone.
"Memory Full: Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory"
The phone notifies you if the phone memory or memory card memory is getting low. There can be different error messages shown this situation, e.g.:
"Memory Full: Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory"
"Disk Full : Automatic retrieval of mailbox for exchange disabled"
To free phone memory, transfer some data to the memory card with the File mgr application (select Menu > Applications > File mgr.). Select or mark files to be moved, select Options >Organise > Move to folder and then the destination folder.
In order to free memory, you could also remove or move the following:
Messages from Inbox, Drafts and Sent folders in Messaging.
Retrieved e-mail messages from the phone memory.
Saved Web pages. Clear the web browser cache to free some memory (select Options > Clear privacy data > Cache).
Saved images, videos, or sound files.
Contact information.
Calendar notes.
Downloaded application packages.
If there are applications which are not needed any more, uninstall them (select Menu > Settings > Data mgr. > App.mgr. > Installed apps.).
Any other data that you no longer need
If possible, use the memory card instead of phone memory in the Camera application (selectOptions > Settings > Memory in use to define the memory where the images are stored). You can also use Nokia Suite to transfer images and video clips to your PC.
If you are deleting multiple items and any of the following notes are shown: Not enough memory to perform operation. Delete some data first or Memory low. Delete some data, try deleting items one by one (starting from the smallest item).
Or you can try this:
To release the phone memory and change the email store from the phone memory to the memory card, follow the steps below.
Select Menu > Messaging and Options > Settings > Other.
Select Memory in use> Memory card.
To question Copy all messages to the new message memory?, select Yes.
To question Save original messages?, select No if you want to release the phone memory or select Yes if you wish to keep the original messages in the phone memory.
Alternatively you can sync your phone with Nokia suite and clear the messages that way if it is not showing on your device. Full instructions on how to sync can be found on the follwing link:
http://support.ovi.com/osc/en_GB/service/ovi_on_your_computer/howto/support-suite-syncing-and-backin...,
If this doesnt help you can try doing a soft reset by inputting code *#7780#. This wont delete any data but rather reset your phone settings. If the device ask for a default code this is usually 12345.
There's a lot to try to resolve here so give it a go and let me know if any helps.

do you have some apps installed on the phone memory istelf. there are some apps that will only install on the phone and not the memory card. is your firmware up to date? did you add anything new, try also removing some of the messages from the memory card and all the folders, send, inbox, outbox if applicable and see if this will make any difference.

Messaging Problem Nokia N95 - Memory Full, close a...

Hi,
I'm having problems with messaging. When attempting to send the message "Memory full. Close applications and try again" appears - although there is no issue with the phone or card memory and are pretty empty. The message sits in the outbox and no matter how many times you try to send, will not allow.
At first I removed the SIM card, clean and replaced and this did work the first time. It no longer works at all now. Does anyone have any suggestions or experienced this before?
Thanks, Phil

So have you checked that your memory is not FULL?
Go to the File Manager and then select Options Memory details (for the Phone Memory) do you have free memory?
Have you installed something that may be running in the background (like a theme or something else) try to use one of the default themes.
Have you cleaned (deleted) the internet cache for the browser?
If all fails you may need to do a hard reset and clean your phone completely of all installed things and downloaded content. Then try it (before you start loading your stuff).
Phones have a limited amount of resources and can get full very easily without you knowing. Programs use the Phone memory to store temporary files that never get deleted. DRM songs also consume memory even after you deleted the songs, etc.

9300i Memory Full - Delete some files - Memory Ful...

I had trouble with my 9300i, it started saying "Memory Full" and told me to delete some files. The problem was, I tried to delete files, but the phone couldn't do it, because the memory was full... I couldn't do anything.
The Control panel's "Memory" said I had 500 Kb of messages, 500 Kb of calendar, and 79 megabytes of "Other file types".
The File manager did not show me anything other than "My own files" and the folders were empty.
I couldn't find any help from Nokia sites. A friend adviced me to make a Full backup on a MMC card, transfer it to PC and delete a certain file: Mail/index. That's what I did, then I resetted the phone to factory settings and transferred the Full backup back to phone.
This helped and my phone was once again operational. However, all my messages were gone, and I had to save the email settings from scratch, so beware, if you need to do the same.
So how can the memory fill 100% if I use the "Delete sent messages after X days" and keep deleting the new ones?! What is this "index", and why is there no clever way to make it smaller...

NOKIA N 80 - GENERAL MEMORY FULL

Why does the mobile often state the message General memory full when playing a video or browsing, is the internal memory very small ??

I have this problem at times - I suspect it is a software issue, as my N70 did not have the same problems yet they both have similar internal memory if I remember. This latest release of Symbian is meant to be more efficient? Hopefully the next firmware release will solve this?
The N80 is meant to multi-task i.e. you can have a number of applications running at one time, which you can switch between, much like 'windows' on a pc. Saying that, have you checked to see that you are not running too many at once (i.e. you have started but not 'exited' the application - there is a practical limit. In particular I find that the web browser (not the services browser) simply eats memory, again this may be a software bug.....
(nb memory as in ram not physical internal memory)

- inbox is virtually empty. sent items is empty.
- outbox is empty. reports is clear also.
- there are ZERO applications running verified by pressing and holding the menu key. music and photos are all stored on a memory card with nearly 2GB free.

The error indicates that there's no more working memory! Delete caches & other unnecessary files to free up memory. Re-install 3rd party app & move photos, music & videos to the hard disk not on main memory.

Memory Full del. some data.

The mentioned problem faced oftn, after received any call, or dialing not seen in the log. no massages received or saved only massage alert blinking. how can i solve my problem, my nakia model is N72.

If the phone is unusable then unfortunately the only options you have are a hard reset or a trip to a nokia care point. Both will result in the total loss of all data and content that you have added to the phone.
Hard reset:
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button for a second to switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
It may take a few attempts and very flexible fingers.

the thing is, there are no other applications open.. HELP

Hi chris091606
Is message storage on phone memory or card memory?
If using phone memory you could try changing to card memory.
Menu > Messaging > Options > Settings > Other > Memory in use
Then change the setting from Phone memory to the name of your inserted RS-MMC.

Any solution....

But did this start happen right after installing a particular app? It could be a faulty installed or bad written app causing this. If so is the case, remove the last installed app before it started happen, shut your device off and pull the battery out and leave it out for 1 min. Now, reboot it and see how it goes.
Since you have 25 megs of ram before the phone decides to shut down, I was thinking about resetting it.
With my n97 a few months back I got this wierd errors one of them beeing the memmory full, after I changed some settings on my device. I didn't do anything else or run anything else on it at the time, but it seemed that my language settings on the fw version I ran on the device could trigger it. I changed settings back to default and got rid of it.
If your fw version is one of the early ones, you could also try to update the device to a more recent one if possible. Usually fw updates contains bugfixes and better memory management.
For resetting you will have to make a back up of your phone memory such as contacts, messages etc as the soft reset will wipe your phone memory. Should be done before doing fw updates etc. You can back up using ovi suite or nokia pc suite.
- Don't back up settings as it would be stupid to reinstall the problem if that's the case.
Now, go for a revert back to factory default. Diall *#7780#
If this does not seem to help, I would suggest a soft reset *#7370#
Security code which you will be prompted for is 12345 by default. If you've changed it you will have to enter that one.
