Hello,

Had my N85 for about a month. When i first got the phone i set it to read from memory card and copied my 3000+ messages over using the Bluetooth Sync option from my old N95, which was working fine until a few days ago.

Anyway Phone battery died i charged to see it has reverted back to Phone memory.

Cant access any old messages and now when i try to change the SMS to read from Memory Card it comes up with error "unable to move mass storage".

 Any help Welcome!

I have reset my phone and i have tried changing my SMS to save to my memory card rather than phone memory but same error as above.

Help

Ok seen as though nobody seems to know the answer.

Does anyone know how i can access my SMS messages from my memory card to delete them? 

And/or do we know whether the Nokia backup saves the SMS messages from my memory card to i can restore them later...

Any advice, or tips will be helpful.

make sure you data is all backed up and consider these things. i think that the newer phones have a bug and if you have over 2000 messages it has a tendency to go a bit crazy. you might want to reformat the card after you back up your stuff as well. 

1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345

2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)

3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. )

If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.

Ok i have done a nokia pc suite backup.

Formatted the memory card.

Then done a restore using the Nokia Pc suite.

Am i right in thinking that the nokia pc suite doesnt back up Photos from the memory card even though i selected

"user files from a memory card" option in backup?

if it does not , you can always connect the phone in mass memory mode and just drag and drop photos into a folder or have a picassa or like program get the photos for you. i don't really care about this feature as i  use flickr and ovi to upload my photos on the go so i don't ever have to worry about losing them. you might want to consider using share online and uploading your photos to ovi in the future.

No it doesnt back up anything from your memory card that i can see... which wonders why the option was there.

That was the only place i have them stored, ahwel.

Thanks for your help.
