I was wondering.
Just the other day I posted on how I had trouble with the email on my MDA Vario and how it was caused by my mini-SD card?
Ever since I had the Vario, almost a year ago, I had been having trouble with the extern memorycard. First the trouble was, that the data on the card went missing for no apparent reason. I stacked the card full of pictures, mp3's and other data, and when I wanted to listen to some music, the card appeared empty. I solved that one by making a back up of the SD card every other day and formatting the mini SD card.
I even tried several cards, but the problem did not go away, yet
I haven't had the "disappearing data" problem since I hard resetted my Vario, February this year. I still have the same ROM, only the Vario has been unlocked (with the Lokiwiz).
It seems that all my memorycard issues and "The Calender won't give me reminders anymore"issues were gone.
So why this post?
Since the hard reset I don't have any MMS setting on the Vario. I checked, but when checking the "message" services, I have Text Messages, Outlook, Gmail (manually added) and Hotmail (when signed into MSN).
There are no MMS options.
I did check on the extended ROM through Total Command, the CAB files seem to be in place, and when dubble clicking with the stylus, they seem to install.
After a soft reset, nothing happens. There are still no MMS options in the messages-option thingy.
I did install the T-Mobile MMS settings/CAB's, double clicked, soft reset, nothing still. I can, however, configure MMS settings in the menu. But there is no way that I can actually use the MMS option.
(Tried with pictures taken with the Vario camera)
I do think that a hard reset and installing only the neccessary stuff (no T-Mobile, that is) will solve the problem, but I am too lazy to do that right now.
It's not that I can't continue this life ;-), but I was just wondering if someone else has this problem.

This is the second time this has happened and I cant figure it out. I was running the 2.17 rom the first time. Then I now have Shoguns new beta rom and same thing has happened. I cant text or anything including mms, but that has never worked since I got this phone. When you try to open it nothing happens at all, like it ignores you or something. Other than that and the bluetooth not working anymore its all good.
Any ideas before doing another hard reset?

what all apps have you installed since installing the roms?
I installed all the apps on the ext rom installer but this happened before those were installed. The only programs I can think of that are the same is Opera, Total Commander, and tcpmp. If it helps any I was messing around with Omap trying to see if I could squeeze out a few more mhz and I froze it up. Come to think of it I cant soft reset unless the storage card is removed or else it will freeze on the omap program. Anyways I dont see how the entire messenging program stopped working. Any way this could be related?

Just in case anybody cares about this thread I found out some strange info. With the storage card out everything works again. Put it back in and its all messed up. Also I cannot boot it up with the card in the phone anymore it hangs on the omap screen. Any way to make that screen not come up everytime? I couldve sworn it didnt used to pop up everytime I rebooted before. Card is not bad it works fine. I wonder if the program that turns the phone into a card reader has something to do with it?

Happen to me few time. Just start messanger from startup menu and it will work again.
I have had a similar problem with Messaging. Usually it works fine, but sometimes nothing will open Messaging will not open with any method, from the Today Screen item (it highlights, but never opens), the Mail buttonhas no effect, and the Start menu item has no effect. I found that deleting the Inbox.mstxxxxxx folder from the storage card would allow it to open again. Also, the phone would not see the MiniSD card, and create a "Storage Card" folder then the real storage card would be called "Storage Card 2" and that would also cause Messanger problems. This has happened in the past on this phone as well, without any custom ROMs and with multiple MiniSD cards. I took out a reg hack to show the ext ROM in the file system and it seemed to help the problem.
Just FYI this is on an 8125 with a SanDisk 1gb MiniSD card and Shoguns current public ROM and the 2.47.11 radio.
I ended up doing the hard reset anyways, but its good to know there may be a fix for this. I did see the files but they would not open and said the program was missiing or something like that. Its all good now thouugh, but thanks for the info. Im sure itll happen again.

I came home and after I came home I do what I always do, sync my MDA Vario with the pc.
I don't know what happened, but the left upper button which I use to open my Gmail (and Outlook) email account didn't work.
I soft resetted the MDA Vario, the today screen only showed my appointments, the owner and the date, no email.
I couldn't use the touchscreen
I soft resetted 3 times and the email line appeared again.
The screen worked again, but the left upper button stopped working, in fact, when I try to open the "message" option in the regular program menu, it won't work.
Like it's there, but it't not.
Does this mean I have to hard reset? Or can I edit a CAB file?
Vario is unlocked, nothing weird is installed.
Darn.

Well, after some research, I found out that the mini sd card was the cullprit. Took the card out, soft resetted the Vario, and it worked.
I formatted the card and put it back into the Vario and it all seems to work..
Anita
Have/had the same problem with messaging. Same fix as well. Just thought I'd throw that in here for future reference.
I guess, if you have backup software (Windows Backup will work) on your PC, you could always use an SD reader on your PC and backup your SD card regularly. That way if it gets jacked in the future, you have at the very least something to go back to.
Thanks for the tip!

Hi
My SIM-Card will not hold more than 30 messages, and I'd like to use the "copy to phone" function to store them locally on my Himalaya and free up space for incoming messages on the SIM.
Doing so, my Inbox properly shows the copied messages (with appropriate symbols, whether they still are on the SIM-Card or already stored on the Hima).
Unfortunately, after a soft-reset, these locally stored messages are gone - that is: even after changing the SIM-Card (and the need of shortly removing the battery), I will loose every message that is NOT stored on a SIM-Card.
I am a bit confused, since c_shekars ROM is said to be soft- and hard-reset persistant, and all other installed software is still working properly after a soft-reset. Why then would all the messages be gone from the inbox?
Please advise, how to solve the problem...
BTW: I am using c_shekars WM2006 AKU7.0 RAMDisk-40MB Pagepool size-24MB for Himalaya
changing the sim always deletes sms etc form the fone... i dont know why but I think its a built in feature of the fone... and its like that on most fones ive seen. A security/privacy feature i think.
If u want to chenge sims regularly try using/scheduling pimbackup for smss and the sort.
Hello
thanks for that insight - but what about soft reset? Do you think, that is a security setting as well or would that be something to be able to corrected, that local SMS are deleted upon a reboot?
Additionaly, let me ask one thing about pimbackup: I have seen, that I can create a schedule, so that I do at least have a daily or even hourly backup of SMS's. Is that backup executed also when:
a.) the Hima is switched off, but the phone still on
b.) the Hima is switched off, AND the phone is switched off?
Thanks for the answers, in advance!
Has anyone else experienced this?
No matter how I try and access my email, sms or mms on my v1615 it just won't load, so I can't access any emails, etc.
It went from working fine one minute, to not working at all the next.
I've soft reset and rebooting, but it's the same. I'm thinking now that I may have to hard reset, which I don't really want to do.
Also the HTC today plugin, no matter how many times I disable it, it always turns back on when I reset, it's driving me mad!!!
Well, I posted on modaco too and someone pointed me in the right direction and I found the answer.
I needed to delete the inbox folder on the storage card, as soon as I did that everything worked again. A quick resync and all attachements are resynced to the storage card.
I have at&t tilt with windows mobile 6.1..I can't view any txt messages or e-mails when I click on the icons in the today screen nothing happens..also from the menu when I go to the MESSAGE ICON and click on it nothing happens.
I'm having the exact same problem, and it just started today. I didn't even know it was happening until someone called me and said "why aren't you responding to my text messages".
I've done several soft resets, to no avail.
I haven't installed any new programs recently.
Earlier this morning, before I knew about the messaging problem, I couldn't connect to the internet. But a soft reset fixed that.
So what would cause the messaging portion of the phone to just suddenly stop working and acting like it doesn't exist?
Euklid, with a little help from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2563559#post2563559 I think i fixed it. It seems that apparently sometimes files associated with tmail.exe (the messaging program), that are on the storage card sometimes become corrupt. So the solution is deleting the folder where these files are. Don't worry, a new folder will be created. The folder is named "Inbox.mst########.##########" (#=various numbers).
Worked for me, hopefully it works for you.
I had a similar problem and found rebooting with the storage card out (only happened when I set attachments to be stored on the SD card) solved the problem. Popped the card back in then and it was fine.
HTH
Ok sorry I didn't see the replies so i was desperate..I backed up my contacts using SPB Backup...i went to settings and CLEAR STORAGE..that seemed to have cleared everything and reinstalled the software..now my phone runs SUPER FAST and everything works..i had to restore my contacts that i backed up..and i had to reinstall all my programs..if u do this make sure u have all your contacts/apps etc backed up..im happy now cuz my tilt was going REALLY SLOW and not it seems alot faster..;p
Removing Storage Card Worked for me
I had the same problem - followed advise above, removed SD card, rebooted, inserted SD card, all is well. Thanks!
IT Worked for Me !
Guys, thank you very much for your help. i Almost lost hope.
I have an At&T tilt , upgraded to ROM version 3.57.502.2 WWE from HTC website a few months ago.It worked fine (although i hate threaded messages).
Then Suddenly 1 week ago, i couldn't receive any SMS (text messages) and the Messaging would not open altogether. I also wasn't able to launch Active Sync on the PDA. Whenever i tried to launch Active sync, it opened for less than a second then closed.
I followed the instructions in this post and deleted the last Inbox.mstxxxxxxx folder only and everything went fine. It seems this folder was corrupt
Thanks again ..... you saved the day !
All i did was remove the inbox.#########.######### in the storage card and it worked fine.
deleting 'inbox.mstxxx' does it
After all the soft reboots, etc, removed the sd card and messaging worked again. Deleted the empty folder 'inbox.mstxxx' from sd card in PC and all's well. Thanks
It Keeps Coming Back
I also had this problem (see thread from today "Inbox Attachments Screws Up Messaging" as I can't post links). My deal is that the folder keeps coming back?!?! How do I stop this?
HTC Viva Solved
Thank you everyone.
It worked for me in my HTC Viva:
1. Delete the Inbox.mst........ from the SD Card
2. Soft reset
3. Working!
