I had a very strange thing happen too this evening on my E6 and was totally baffled too. Never before did I experience such an odd thing. I received a message and went to reply but I could not, I was able to select reply and then was able to select by text message but I was then thrown back to the Inbox and Talks was saying the message I was trying to reply to was new and unread! I could not even open it then. I exited back one screen to Messages and Talks said Inbox minus 50 messages, I had 5 messages in the Inbox and no matter how many times I went back in, it kept saying the message I was trying to reply to was unread and without me even opening it, which I could not in any case, Talks went on to read the whole message. i tried to delete the message and the other ones in turn but they would not delete! Back I would go to messaging again and Talks would tell me that I had minus 50 messages in the Inbox! I checked in case the messages were somehow gone on to the mass memory but they were not so that was not the problem though it said I could save up to a thousand messages!!! Whereas on my other phones it says I can save up to 50 messages! I decided that this figure of one thousand must be a high figure because it is a relatively new model of phone but remained puzzled. I turned the phone off in the hope that this would resolve the matter and was fairly annoyed, puzzled and disappointed when there was no change, I could not open the message which said Unread and Talks read the whole message out. I could not Delete any of the 5 messages and again Talks was saying there were minus 50 messages in the folder. Tearing my hair out at this point, I turned the phone off and on again and left a longer time before rebooting! No change so I tried yet again. On 3rd attempt Talks now said there were 5 messages in the Inbox but I still could not open. This time I tried to delete and was able to delete each message in turn. I did not want to delete all messages but decided it was preferable to reflashing the memory! Once all were deleted I was then able to open the New Message which was not possible before. Now Talks thankfully said No Messages in the Inbox! I succeeded in sending the message but come to think of it, I have not had a reply to it so must check again to see if it was delivered.
My only advice therefore is to boot and re-boot a few times and see if that helps to clear the buffers! Other than that have you done a soft re-set to see if that helps? Would you believe I did not take my own advice re soft re-start. I just got so lost in this strange happening! The gremlins sure are out tonight with the Nokia phones and messaging in particular! Eleanor -original message- Subject: [Talks] Peculiar issue re. reading sms messages From: "Michelle McQuigge" <[email protected]> Date: 16/11/2011 3:45 am Hi list, Somethingg rather odd has cropped up on my E71 this evening. At the moment I can't seem to select any of the sms messages I receive. I can see they're there in my inbox and scroll between them, but when I press the select key, it doesn't open. Ditto for when I open the options menu and select "open." The only way I can open my messages is to go to the home screen and press up-arrow until I hear Talks begin to read the name of the person who sent the message. If I click select then the message will open, but hitting "back" takes me straight back to the home screen rather than the inbox. This is most unusual behaviour, and I don't mind saying it's pretty annoying too. Any thoughts on what could be happening? The phone was functioning just fine a few hours ago.
