Re: E71: Not receiving texts unless the phone is restarted
I doubt it's the software because you had this issue prior to the update. If you had the latest software prior to hard resetting your phone, the software version will still remain as the latest, it won't go back to the previous software version.
So, it is probable that there's something in your settings or some third party application that may be preventing your phone from receiving SMSes.
I'm not sure which country you're from and what type of network you use, but if you're on a regular non-3G network/contract, you might want to test by setting your network access to GSM only:
Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > Network > Network mode > GSM only.
What type of applications do you normally use? Is there something that you use that requires some kind of online access?
Are you able to test your phone by putting a different sim card in? Perhaps another network's sim card?
Not really sure why it may happen. Could be possible there were issues with the 3G network at the time and caused some hiccup or could be a phone issue, but difficult to verify.
After a few days, switch back to dual mode and see if the problem returns. Can try testing with a SIM card from a different operator, if your phone isn't locked, just to see if it's an isolated thing.
Are you using 3G services, such as video calls, high speed internet access? If not, then keeping it at GSM will be fine.
Try another SIM card from a different network to see if the problem persists?
Or you may want to consider taking your phone to your authorised service center. Have them check the phone out. Back up your data before you go though using PC Suite.
Repair and Recycle link on the top should give you details of your nearest service center.
You can also save or transfer your messages to your memory card to store more messages.
but remember you will only get the option to transfer the messages to your memory card ONCE on the first time you change the location.
You will not have this option again for you to transfer it back to phone memory.
you can do that by going to menu > messaging > options > settings > others > memory in use > memory card.
Unfortunately the option only comes once for some security reasons it seems.
Perhaps you may try doing a hard reset on the phone and start fresh over again the option might come back.
Do a full back up of your phone using the PC suite back up icon.
Once you have back up try doing a hard reset by keying in *#7370# when on standby - This will reformat the phone.
Again
DO NOT FORGET TO DO A BACK UP AS THIS WILL ERASE YOUR ENTIRE PHONE MEMORY.
The security code by default is 12345
