Couple of questions I am sure most of the team here would ask you
1) Did you have to re-charge the battery before switching it ON or was the battery still charged after that time? (it is worth asking this although even though the question/answer may seem obvious)
2) When you switched it ON did you look at user profiling of any "validity periods" with respect to retention of data?
trewmte - very interesting behaviour! I think the deletion of SMS messages was only on the earlier SE handsets (probably when they didn't think too much about people using multiple SIMs or wishing to change their provider). I can not swear by it but I think the T68i was one of them that did.
It's very interesting that the behaviour can be so random. It goes with the fact that for every handset involved in a case it's often necessary to do testing. What you think will happen often doesn't )
Kind regards
I second trewmte - the symbians have a call log duration which can mean it can be 0 days! I believe the default is usually 30 days.
Kind regards
Of course it's not just the calls that go - it's everything in the "Event Log". The event log can provide information other than just calls (eg. data connections, wifi connections, SMS message log - which can also include fragments of messages). Preservation of the Event Log is "Serious Business".
Symbian handsets have a rolling event log which contains the call logs. This rolling event log will have any data deleted from it that is outside of the 'validity period' (this can be set by the user from indefinitely, to 30 days, to 1 day) that the handset is set to store the logs to. If the handset was powered on and the date and time of the handset was over 30 days on from the last call log then they will have all been deleted (if the handset was set to store the event log for 30 days).
