Problem actually viewing files in phone memory and...

When I browse the phone memory and the memory card using the file manager a lot of the files show empty but I know there are things in them. I also copied the memory card to my computer and looked and have the same problem...even after selecting to view hidden files as well. The folders just show empty.
Also...my contacts are set to be saved in phone memory...yet I cannot find a "contacts" folder anywhere in phone memory. The memory card has a "contacts" folder but it appears empty when viewing it.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Nokia File Manager gives access to just a fraction of the phone memory, and several directories on both the phone and the memory card are write-protected and also typically read- and view-protected. (The workaround for the card is to put the phone in Mass Storage mode, or to use an external card reader.) But in my experience, there really are lots of empty directories! I figure it's a side effect of Symbian's 10+ year history. If you really want to see what's on your phone, install a third party file browser like Y-Browser (http://www.drjukka.com/YBrowser.html , scroll down to the bottom) or X-Plore (http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=download ). Even better, install Mobile Guard (http://www.netqin.com/en/guard/symbian/ ) for read access to protected directories like C:\Private and C:\Sys. (Mobile Guard is a suite of programs, some of which may run automatically like a download manager...so don't be alarmed by the pop-ups. You can turn most of them off.)
Your contacts are stored somewhere in C:\Private, as well as email, SMS messages, etc. That's why you can't find them. This is the nature of Symbian's "System Security" feature. Hope that helps!

Reading files from phone memory

Hi All,
I am developing a Universal application using vs 2013 in windows phone 8.1. I am stuck in finding and reading file from phone memory.
I have used the Localfolder syntax
StorageFolder folder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;but it didn't worked. Its Showing the application data. But i want to read the file exixts in my phone memory.Then i have usedStorageFolder file = KnownFolders.DocumentsLibrary;but as i read from the forums its not suggested way to approach. Please suggest me the way to find the file from phone memory and to read it.Any help would be appreciatable!!

Hi sarika,
That is expected, see the documentation for more information:
App capability declarations at Documents section, you need declared at least a file type association.
Furthermore You can't use the Documents library in a Windows Phone Store app.
You can't publish a Windows Phone Store app that specifies the documentsLibrary capability to the Windows Phone Store. The Store blocks the publishing of the app.
Your app can't access the Documents library in the phone's internal storage. If another app creates a Documents folder on the optional SD card, however, your app can see that folder.

Transfering messages between phone memory and memo...

How do i transfer messages from the phone memory to the memory card? When i first changed the option to use the memory card to store messages, the option to transfer the messages were there.
But the next time i changed the option to use phone memory and back to memory card again, the option wasn't there.
Messaging>Options>Settings>Other>Memory in Use
How can I make that option re appear so I can transfer messages again?

To make the option appear again you will have to format your memory memory card. - When it's nothing on the memorycard, the phone will rebuild the message folders/files to the card, when it's already done you will not get that option anymore.
What you could do is to connect to PC suite and go inside communicator centre and export all messages from c memory to your pc -> change memory in use to memorycard and then reconnect to pc suite -> import the file with all saved messages, and you have now copyed all messages from C to E (you can do vice versa too). - Now you have to change back to C memory and delete those messages there.

N95 problem with phone memory and backup.

My phone is saying that I have 1870 MB of messages on the phone memory (which can't be true), and it is refusing to back up on the memory card, which I guess is because of this problem as it thinks there's not enough space on the card.
Anyone know what could cause this problem?
Thanks for your help.
T-mobile please give us v.20 N95 software.

Hmm, well I'm stumped. If it's within warranty perhaps contact the supplier and accept they'll probably lose your data. I can't be any more helpful I'm afraid, especially as I'm a user and not an actual Nokia technician.
All I can suggest given the extra info you've provided, is to buy a card that can hold the imaginery 1870MB's and change the message storage settings? Alternatively look at the phone via PC suite which makes some files and folders visible on the phone memory (called 'C' drive). Prod around there may be, with research you may find the file that collects that info, delete it and the phone 'may' replace it with the corect values?
I'd be interested to know of the real solution.

How to delete other files in phone memory

i had a problem that other files in my phone are rapidly increasing in size they have increased from 60 mb to 103 mb in two days and now my phone take so many time to process any application that i open.
Please help me i want to set memory card as default memory for all application as i had saved maps, messages in memory card.
I think that internet browsing has eaten my phone memory, i had also deleted all my privacy data from internet but nothing helped me.
Please help me guys how do i delete or move these other files.

It is very strange that you lost ~43 MB of phone memory in two days! If you think the web browser cache is still to blame, you can try deleting it manually using a third-party file browser like Y-Browser (http://www.drjukka.com/YBrowser.html , then scroll to the bottom) or X-Plore (http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=download). Delete the entire contents of C:\System\Cache , but not the Cache folder itself. Reboot and see if that makes a difference.
If that doesn't fix the problem, some people have blamed Bluetooth file transfers on lost phone memory. Maybe you have done this lately? Otherwise see this thread for advice: /t5/Eseries-and-Communicators/E72-RM-530-Phone-memory-full-for-no-apparent-reason-any-solution/m-p/1... . (Beware that I rambled too much. ) Your best friend may be NetQin's Mobile Guard program. Its File Manager feature includes an "Analyse Storage" option that will look for the largest files on any drive. Post a followup if you need more advice.

Pc software to view files on phone

Hi. I'm looking for software that allows me to simply view the gallery files on my phone, without having to use 4 different programs. I want something that is similar to Windows Explorer. I have tried selecting "data transfer" instead of "pc suite" when i connet my phone, but it tells me that the memory card is in use and it can't perform this function.
Does anyone know if such software exists?
By the way, I have a N81.

You can get the data transfer mode working again, by unistalling which ever application is locking access to the memory card (if it is the Messaging app, because you have changed the "Memory in use" setting to the memory card, change it back to phone memory).
Otherwise, you need to use PC Suite.

N97: Transfer Messages Between Phone Memory and Ma...

Is there any way to do this? Whenever I have my phone connected to the PC, and a message comes in, they are stored in my phone memory. I want to transfer all my messages into the same location.
can't wait for n97 successor

found a solution:
This will easily move ALL messages from Phone Memory ( C: ) to Mass Memory ( E: ), the time it takes depends on the number of messages you are moving. Also keep in mind YOU SHOULD HAVE NO MESSAGES IN THE MASS MEMORY. OR DON'T WANT THE MESSAGES ON THE MASS MEMORY ANY MORE.
Steps as follow:
- Connect your N97 to your computer using USB cable on "Date Storage" Mode
- Show the hidden and system files ( in Windows 7: Computer -> Organize -> Folder and Search options -> view -> SELECT Show hidden folders, files and drivers, AND unckeck "Hide protected system files (Recommended)"
- Go to your mass memory on PC and navigate to "Private" folder (E:\Privarte)
- You will see perhaps many folders with numbers and letters as names
- Search for a folder called "Mail2" inside one of these folders ( I found it in a folder called "1000484b\Mail2")
- Delete this folder (YOU ARE NOW REMOVING ALL MESSAGES ON MASS MEMORY, DON'T DO THIS IF YOU HAVE MESSAGES YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE)
- Disconnect your phone from USB and now go to messages -> Options -> Settings -> Other -> Memory in use -> choose Mass memory
- It will surely give an option for copying your messages and keeping the original ones.
Then you are done ! engoy your free momory.
remember to selected "no" to keeping the originals, OR you could select and them delete them aftewards.

Problems reading PDF files with i Pad and Mac with 10.8.3 Mountain Lion OS

I assume InDesign uses the Acrobat XI resources to generate the exported PDFs.
I have many 1-7 page articles from which I created PDFs via the export function in ID. They all read OK on PC/Apple/Linux based computers.
I assembled all of the articles into one 50 page document in ID and again exported the large file as a PDF.
Several of the articles inside the large document now exhibit problems when viewed on an i Pad or a Mac running OS 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion). PC and Linux do not have this problem.
The problems are, to quote my subscriber: "each paragraph starts with a 'dollar' sign instead of 'Th'. Later the 'Dollar' symbol changes to ' " '. The same thing happens in the Piston Ring article. This doesn't happen on the original PDF files.
Opening the files in Acrobat Pro XI to look for differences does not discover anything although I assume the problem is somewhere in the font files.
Any suggestions?

I've asked the question about the versions and producers of the PDF reader software he is using. I'll be back when that answer comes in.
I was afraid that Adobe might not use code identical to Acrobat Pro XI to generate PDFs in InDesign. I may have to 'print' to Acrobat and see if that generates a trouble-free PDF.

Saving an image file in phone memory

Hi everyone,
I want to save a file (an image file) in my phone/ memory-card memory.
i've infact captured it from camera and now want to save in the memory not in the RecordStore.
What should i do ?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance

hi,
You will need the pda optional package jsr75 for file connection. Then create a byte vector from the image and then write the bytes to the location
byte[] bytes = ... // from input stream
String filePath = "file:///c:/"+aFileName;
          System.out.println(filePath);
          OutputStream os = null;
          FileConnection fc = null;
          try {
               fc = (FileConnection)Connector.open(filePath);
               if(!fc.exists()){
                    fc.create();
               os = fc.openOutputStream();
               for(int i = 0;i< bytes.length;i++){
                    os.write(bytes);
          } catch (IOException e) {
               throw new IOException();
          }finally{
               if(os != null)
                    os.close();
               if(fc != null)
                    fc.close();

C3 lost phone memory and features

I was deleting messages from my inbox when my phone just hung for a few seconds then shut down. When i turned it on, my settings reset. All my contacts, messages, stuff from my gallery were all gone. There's no "inbox" in my messaging. No ovi. In my internet menu there's just home, browser and web services. EVERYTHING from my phone memory were gone and some of the phone's features too. Please help.

I had this problem with my old C3.
Basically I turned the phone off because I was at work, when I turned it back on all my settings had been deleted along with the gallery and contacts. All I could do with the phone as make calls and send text messages. The browser had been deleted too.
I was with Vodafone UK (spits on the floor) who took my phone and re flashed it. About 3 weeks later the same thing happened again, everything gone again!
In a nutshell Vodafone refused to replace the phone (even though it was less than 3 months old even though by law if the product is faulty within the first 6 months of ownership it will be taken that the product was faulty at the point of sale). I threatened to take them to court and reported the matter to trading standards. I ended up being given my N8 as compensation.
I ended up taking both my N8 and C3 to a Nokia care point (as the N8 went faulty shortly after I received it and I had to have the motherboard replaced under warranty). I explained about my C3 and as it was under warranty they reflashed and reinstalled everything on the phone. That was about 10 months ago. My wife now has the phone and uses it on another network. It's been fine and we've had no further problems since.
My advice is to take it to a Nokia Care Point if it is still under warranty.
It was fixed within the hour and we've had no problems since.
Vodafone were useless and I even got accused by one of their staff of downloading 'material' on the phone and was told that that's why it went wrong the second time (even though they had not even looked at the phone and I hadn't downloaded any 'material'). Completely unprofessional, hence I am no longer with them (still have the N8 though...)
If the OP is with Vodafone then I would suspect that maybe there is something within the Vodafone pre-installed detritus that is causing this issue...Another reason to take it to a Nokia Care Point.
Hope you both get it sorted out.

Plug-ins for viewing files such as .swfs and .rtfs in Finder's Preview Pane

Are there plug-ins which would allow files such as .html and .rtf to display details of their content within the Finder's Preview pane, in a way similar to the way it is possible to preview .pdf, .txt, and .jpg files?
thanks

No, but any text editor can display html and rtf files, for example, TextEdit in your Utilities folder.
