N70 - SMS gets Deleted (need urgent help)

4 replies · 5,142 views · Started 14 July 2006

Hi,

I bought a N70 around 15 days back and was using a 6600 previously. The problem is that SMS gets automatically deleted from my phone. I have 1000+ sms in my Memory Card. I had transferred all my sms from 6600 to N70. In 6600 i had stored all sms on my MMC, so i just copied and pasted the 'Mail' folder from 6600 MMC to N70 MMC via my PC and changed my Message Storage to Memory Card in and all my old SMS reappeared in N70. Initially all worked fine but for the last week new sms gets deleted automatically from the Inbox as well as the Folders whereas the old SMS from 6600 are perfectly safe, initally i thought i had deleted it myself but then i tried to switch my phone off & on and again 1 more msg disappeared frm my folders.

In between i had installed the following application - Symantec Securtiy, Nokia Gallery, Life Blog, Camster, Yahoo Go application like messenger and mail, but i removed the mail immediately after using it once and have kept the messenger active. Also i have just now removed the Symantec Security coz i read in one of the forums that it causes unnecessary problems. But dont know if this will solve my proble.

So please anyone out there is facing the same problem and has a solution for it, pls let me know.

Thanks & Regards
Praveen

A possible solution is to install MsvDriveE instead of selecting MMC for storing the SMS's. The setting from the phone allows saving of maximum 999 SMS's. My brother had this problem on his 6670.

The number of SMS is not a problem. MSDriveE, put all things in MMC, is always a good move. But the cleanning process, could be some not allowed program, to do tricky things.

Hey Guys, thanks a lot... but im still facing the problem.... it was workin fine for a couple of days and again i lots the sms of 3 days from 19th - 21st july and only from the Folders in which i saved, the sms of those days in the inbox havent been deleted. Will installing MsvDriveE solve my problems and where can i get it... also just a thought.... does using Yahoo Go Messenger have to anything with this problem... coz i use it a lot in a day say for around 8-10 hrs

Please help me out guys

Thanx
