[tatalope]

guys i'm having problems wid my N9210 when sending sms it always go to the outbox folder so i have to go to outbox and re-send the message again from the outbox...anybody knows how to fix this?

thanks in advance

[sektor_1]

try this
open up messaging
menu
tools
account settings
select short message
where it says send short message change it to immediately

c if that works :-)

hi sektor_1 it's already set to "immediatley" & i tried setting it to upon request & set it back again to immediatley but still it goes to the outbox folder...is there any other way???

[sektor_1]

cant really think of anything else in that case bud, have you got multiple sms centre numbers? if so try deleting some, also try deleting ini files.

When commy restarts press ctrl+shif+I

[malikhang]

I had this problem also....:( nothing to do... just restart your communicator!!!

how many sms no. do i have to retain? where can i find those .ini files? what does ctrl+shif+I for?

i'm not technical that's why i'm having difficulties in handling this


malikhang

i always restart my comm. once a day but still no luck

[sektor_1]

ok, open up messaging and go to
menu
tools
account settings
short message
where it says servce centre in use press change and select the one that matches your network provider if theres more than one.

CTRL+SHIFT+I will delete all the ini files that programs makes.
Remove the battery
Reinsert it
When you see the two hands then press CTRL+SHIFT+I

CTRL+SHIFT+I will NOT delete programs just ini files.

INI files are files that hold configuration information. Like settings, you may lose your wap setting and other setting but NO programs.

C if that works :-)

iv'e done everything you've said but still no luck ...do you have anymore recommendation on what to do???

[sektor_1]

hmmmmmmmmm, no in that case, all I can suggest now is you reformat the communicator totally.

You will loose all information such as programs installed/contacts/messages.

Do you know how to format the commy and do u know how to do a backup first?

send me a pm if u dont

[tatalope]

sent you a PM

[sektor_1]

u sure, I havent got it yet

[tatalope]

yes...sent it this morning & it's already 6pm my time..anyway i''l just post it here


1- if i don't have any personal files to backup can i format it w/o saving any file system or are there any stuff i should backup aside from my personal stuff???

2- do i have to install "all the nokia softwares" correct me if i'm wrong ..i think there are two allnokia stuff one for the comm & one for the mmc..do i have to install everthing coz there are apps that i don't use like the wap, internet & more..what should i do??


thanks

[sektor_1]

firstly, what software verison is your commy? is a 9210i or 9210, do you have a memory card installed?

[tatalope]

it's 9210 ..not sure of the version..and i have a 16mb mmc

you can email me at [email protected] so this thread won't get long thanks

[sektor_1]

check your email

ive been using my 9210 for alomst a year now, i have put in a lot of hacks and cracks for some reason after 1 year i suddenly have the same problem as you do, i am also trying the recommendations i hope they work!! would you be kind enough to inform me if you were successful in fixing your phone? ive been rebooting and rebooting to no avail. aside from the messages going strait to the outbox, sometimes they get lost! there are even times wherin my message storage would automatically change from mem card to communicator, i would be able to see the thumbnail of the message but whenever i try to open it it says not found!! hoping for your rsponse! man i need help!!:(

[specialk]

ctrl + shift + i , didnt work even deleting the sms centeres, would reformatting do the trick? i was able to reformat befor but i completelty forgot how, although i have the instructions i just wanna ask, i only have to reformat the c: right? i mean i hav a 64mb and its kinda full i wouldnt wanna reformat it and erase everything.. everythings stored on my d:, after refortmatting my next problem would be i should input all the serial again for the softwares is this correct? i hope i shouldnt resrt to reformatting but if this will be the only way .. thanks in advance!!!

[tatalope]

hi specialk...my comm is now working properly & faster after i reformat it w/ the help of sektor_1 ..there is a thread where i ask on how to format just read on

[specialk]

i was able to reformat my comm, 1nce in awhle the problem still occurs but this time when i reboot the problem goes away! it was weird after i made a backup i couldnt seem to restore them to my phone, an error keeps coming up, but its ok i didnt reinstall the 92.sis file i just restored som of the impt things and now im ust consuming around 300 kb on my c: ! its just too bad i cant restore the backup i had for the calendar! would you know what the exact file i could just restore manually? im sure its still with the backup, the error just comes when i try to restore everything!! thanks

[sektor_1]

open up archive manager in pc suite and extract the following two files

C:\System\Data\Calendar, C:\System\Data\Almsvr.dat

The two files are calendar dates and alarm dat file

you can then restore just these two files back to the commy.

you can extract them using show individual files and then restore selected.

[specialk]

ok will try!! thanks very much!!!:D

DERS ONLY 1 SOLUTION.. FORMAT D PHONE. ctrl+shift+f
THATS IT MATE!

[sektor_1]

not neccessarily, yes formatting the fone is the quickest and easiest thing to do, but you need to make backups and reinstall all your software/games again.

and in the long run can be more of a headache.

I have had my 9210i for about 7 months now. I have formatted it twice in that period only. I personally prefer to fix any problems that just format the dang thing :-)

I have had my 9210i for about 7 months now. I have formatted it twice in that period only.
I reformat my device almost everymonth and I realize that I should backup manually some important files before reformatting the device by dragging-dropping from commy to PC:

- calendar (c:\system\data\calendar)
- profile setting (c:\system\data\dbProfile.db)
- contacts backup file (d:\system\data\myContactBackup.cdb)
- some files created by sheet, word processor, YEdit, RMRbank, etc.
- color setting if you have installed colors program (drive:\system\apps\colors\schemes\your_file)

I also prefer to reinstall all the applications I need manually instead of using restoring facility on the Archieve Manager (PC Suite).

how about the sms messages? what's the file of the received messages???

[sektor_1]

C:\System\Data\smssegst.dat,
C:\System\Data\smsreast.dat,
C:\System\Data\Cdbv2.dat,
C:\System\Schedules\Schedules.dat,
C:\System\Mail\*.*

The first is the sent message list for SMS,
the second is the received message list for SMS,
the third is the SMS and email database,
the fourth is the schedule log for SMS and email.

The last which may be on C or D drives is the storage of the actual messages.

do i just have to copy and paste those messages files in my pc? and vice versa in restoring them??

[sektor_1]

yes, you just have to copy and past them back,but othello (user on here) had problems with copying them back even though he copied them back it still wouldn't work but it does work for me and my other friends, so all I can say is try it and c :-)
