Nokia 5700 · DIGIT-ARC

My Nokia 5700 suddenly displayed "no messages" in inbox,my folder,drafts etc today when I booted the phone. The phone even sent a blank sms when I compiled & sent a sms. The sms preview though displayed the message I typed but on opening it was blank. What can I do to restore them? I don't know if they are still there on memory card or not. Will a hard format of phone memory help?

P.S : I know I should get rid of such an old phone but due to some issues, I have to keep it for a while.

connect to PC using PC/Ovi suite & check if you can access msg. if yes, check if the sent msg was blank or not. else, reinstalling the entire OS should solve the problem.

No PC suite as I'm on Linux.
The blank SMS sending phenomenon repeats intermittently.

How to do that? I always thought when you make "Memory Card" as your messaging memory in s60 phones its virtually unlimited.

In nokia there is options in menu to see the memory details...

also in Messages we can set the source to store messages either in SIM or Memory Card :mrgreen:

I can see the storage options as "Phone Memory" & "Memory Card". I tried swapping, rebooting & again re-swapping the memory location but no success.
