Mass memory has disappeared in Nokia N8

[Eyvindur]

Currently I am using the 16GB mass storage version of Nokia N8. I didn’t connect this phone or its mass memory yet to the computer or PC suite after I purchased. Yesterday I tried to connect to the computer using USB cable. After the connection the computer didn’t shows the mass storage from my phone. And the other sad thing that I have downloaded several apps, games and pictures from the OVI store. They all vanished from the phone. The phone also has some photos and video clips taken from its camera. They all have been wiped out after the cable connection? How could be possible? What can I do now? Will it going to happen again?

It seems to me that there was already memory defect exist when you bought it. You didn’t notice yet until it is connected to the PC. The defect might have been stable until there is a connection or access from the outer source. After the connection the mass storage completely malfunctioned and become defective without your knowledge. That means failure in your mass memory. So I think you should repair it or replace it if there any warranty and RMA exist for your N8. Until then buy a Micro SD card and use it as alternative.

It seems to me like you have somewhat corrupted the mass memory as a result of doing that without your concern, you must for all time select the securely eliminate hardware selection at whatever time achievable. Can you observe the mass memory inside the phones file manager application? It's moreover inside the applications folder otherwise the office folder. The corruption happens when there is some problem with the connection and sometime also with the cause of viruses. Mine was also corrupted when I suddenly remove the cable from the phone while I was copying some contents to it.

It appears on the way to have been defectively corrupted. There might be windows supported memory backup tools intended for repairing the memory's file structure. It's fairly an older crisis among numerous mass storage gadgets, not merely Nokia branded phones. Excessively numerous people believe its ok on the way to just drag out the wire; they disregard suggestion in user’s guides or else warnings inside windows. Corruption is ordinary when the USB cable is dragged from mass storage phones. Laying on the N8 it's healthier to make use of ovi suite mode at whatever time feasible. If you are incapable to resolve this through using memory revival/fix software then you will need to stopover a Nokia care.

First of all Check that whether you have connected your Nokia N8 to a computer in mass storage mode or not. . If the phone is connected into mass storage mode, the right of entry is held in reserve absolutely in support of computer moreover you cannot outlook mass memory stuffing by way of phone applications. The whole thing is supposed to be usual all over again following you unplug your phone from computer. If you enclose Ovi Suite installed inside your computer, you are able to connect the N8 within Ovi Suite mode in which you won't comprise this issue.
