So I'm going from a Palm O.S. Treo 650 to Tilt & I have alot of SMS threaded text messages that I want to transfer. I have no idea how. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ps. I'm no wiz at this stuff, so basic & step by step is super appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help, guys.
Really, I am not sure, but have you tried to export to the SIM via Treo? And them maybe import from SIM to Tilt?
wow thats a good question.. im not sure how you would do that, i know nothing about the Palm OS structure... i can tell you that the palm app for ppc stores all the messages in the windows directory called "PalmMsgV001" .... if the palm os uses the same file then you could possibly copy it from the palm to the tilt. Not sure if that will work but thats about as much help as i can offer for this problem.
Well, I tried something....
I took the Palm's SMS log (SMS Messages2.pdb) and moved it to the TILT. I then renamed the Palm file to "PalmMsgV001" and tried opening SMS on the TILT. Needless to say, that didn't work.
I don't know?? Maybe there is something out there.
Right now I am sending a copy of the "PalmMsgV001" from my phone to the desktop and I am going to look at the file structure. I viewed the Palm's, so now I will view the Tilt's and see how much different they are.......
You guys rock! Thanks for the help. Let us know if you guys find a solution...
Anyone...?
Any ideas
I am also interested in making this work. Has anyone come up with a solution?
Hi, e'rybody.
So far, the Tilt is a piece of work. in the positive sense of the phrase.
Not that I've exactly done much with it. I was about to figure out how to transfer Contacts from the Treo 650 to the Tilt, but if anybody can just tell me before I go a-searching, that would be awesome.
I'd be EXTREMELY interested if anyone figures out the text-thread transfer quandary; I haven't even used texting on my Tilt yet, and I wonder: does it actually support text-threading? ...like the Treo? I don't see why it wouldn't. That was def one of the best features of the Treo for me.
I guess it all just depends on which formats the two devices use, and whether or not we can convert Treo's to Tilt's.
If anyone figures it out, we'd all be grateful if you came back here to clue us in, and I'll definitely do the same!!
G'luck!!!!!!

I'm interested in this too -- and would appreciate learning the pros/cons because I know that some people really don't like Oz. However I also have unlimited messaging, so SMS charges aren't an issue at all for me if the functionality is there.
Anyway - I just found the Oz cab here. Just takes a bit of looking. Go to the FTP site here and into the Wizard\Extended_Roms sub dir:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Extended_Roms
Download the "TMo-US-Ext Rom.zip". Inside you'll find all the CAB files, including what appears to be the Oz install.
I downloaded this, and have the files -- just want to verify that all we need to do is drop the Cab into the MDA (Wizard) and run it to install. Anyone else try this yet?
thanks alot, jon. i did do some ALOT of searching on my own but i didnt really know where to look. i appreciate the help.
i just installed oz and it works like a charm. so thanks alot. -tommy

tommy - great! I imagine that it doesn't use any "main storage" (working RAM) when it's not running, does it? As long as there's no downside in having it installed, other than using up space, I'm ready to try it. It would really be nice to have a full-fledged instant messaging client again on the phone. When Agile is ready, I'll probably go that way, but I'm not ready to deal with "alpha" level issues right now...
where can find the one with MSN?
Thanks
Well, this DOES use your SMS texts you know, not data. If you want one that uses data, goto palringo.com, its freeware, and supports AIM, YIM, MSN, ICQ, GT and many more.
Yes i know OZ uses SMS, I like it cuz I can still get my messages if i don't get reception.
I heard the new one has MSN but i can't find it.

I installed the Palm thread app ripped from WM6 device board and everything works except sending MMS I keep getting out of memory errors. I made sure that the pic is under 300k but as soon as I hit Send I get the message. I'm with cingular/at&t. I have searched regarding this but I noticed that for some people it works fine and other not so its hit or miss. But I wanted to know if anyone else has tried to use this on there kaiser.
Thanks
i tried it and no, you cant send any MMS's (I tried some of the other varients found elsewhere on this forum but none work better). In fact I found that this app had knock on problems all over my TYTN II and slowed down the machine considerably. Since this isnt an app you can just remove I had to do a hard reset.
Thanks for the reply hopefully someone figures out a fix for the slowness and mms not working on the tytn II
No one else has tried Palm threading app on there Keiser yet? and has mms working with AT&T??
I too tried it on my Kaiser and could not get the mms to work no matter what size file I tried, it would give me the memory error. I was able to uninstall it through the add/remove programs though and not have to do a hard reset.

I am experiencing the same. Luckily I don't use MMS very much so if I absolutely need it I can Uninstall Threaded SMS and fetch the incoming MMS then re-install threaded sms. I had same issue with Cingular 8525..Too bad, this is the best threaded sms app out there to me. I can't understand why they haven't built a threaded sms app that comes pre-installed. So basic. Everyone uses SMS. What are they thinking?
any updates on this one yet? I miss my threaded SMS/MMS
**** it doesnt work for me either
****ing BS...please shogun mark, HELP!!!
i wanna stress how important this app is to me.....i was sooo ****ing excited to go from 8525 to kaiser. this actually almost makes me wanna go back.... even though the kaiser is soooooo much sweeter. im beggiing someone to please please work on a fix for this!! please
has anyonetried setting up theconnection settings by hand in the Palm app? I always did myself and it works great

Which version of Palm threading app are you using?? I have tried to setup the correct settings for the ATT mms part and still as soon as I try to send a mms i get the "out of memory error"
if anyone gets it to work they are brilliant...i have the shogunmark version from windows mobile 6
ttttttttttttt
It is a known bug in the app. Just be thankful we have what we have. To better understand, go here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=621
Works for me. The Shogun version thats circulated around doesnt work. You need the full version. Do a search and you might find it. THe problems are the same on most WM6 devices, and not just the Kaiser.
P.S. Some f-in patience might make people actually want to help you. 6 posts, half dropping F bombs doesn't endear you to the community.
Temporary Fix
Well this is what I do to have palm threading and MMS working on my Tilt witch is something I have asked before but haven't gotten an answer but this is my crazy hack or whatever you want to call it.
My theory was well since the MMS portion for Palm threading is out of the question regarding a fix from what I have been reading about. I asked before If after you install palm threading is there away to enable again the default MMS application that came with the phone like that giving you the option to use palm threading for Txt's and sending MMS' to be sent by the default application witch i like better.
I have the files but I dont know where to upload them too but if someone can post them up I will send it to them.
Basically I managed to get me the cab installation of Arcsoft MMS composer ver 4.0.21.28 .. I noticed that tilt has a new version 4.0.3.?? anyways so basically this is what I did..
1) install Palm threading application - reboot device
2) Install Arcsoft MMS application - reboot Device
3) Install EnableMMS.cab - Reboot
4) Re-apply ATT MMS cab configuration so that MMS gets configured
Now when I press on the email key I get the option to compose a MMS and I can receive them fine..
Like i said this is something I just tried for the heck of it and it worked but I dont guaranteed it will work for everyone. I have tried this on the Tytn II and now I just received my Tilt and it works good.
If there was a way to just re-enable the MMS portion I think there wouldnt need to install the slightly older version of arcsoft composer viewer but I havent able to figure it out..
PS. I tried uploading the zip files but it keeps telling upload of file failed..
Can you e-mail me those files, please.
Hi, is someone able to upload these files somewhere?......thanks in advance
ok here they are.. Let me know if they work for you

Thanks doug0365, i will have to do a full backup first on my kaiser before i install the files......its missing the threadersms.cab though....but thats ok i found the file in the kaiser forum.......will report back later today of the outcome.....thanks again.

Don't like OZ, it uses the sms instead of data. I use IM+. Just ranting. lolz.
Original Instant Messaging Program
Hey, I need the original Instant messaging program that came with my tilt. (the one with aim, live, and yahoo). Where can i get that? I looked through the threads and couldn't find it. Thanks.
You're looking for Oz messenger and it's in the downloads link in my signature. Though I'd recommend you checkout Jivetalk, as i've found it to be a vastly superior messaging program and it is free right now because it's in alpha testing.

Ever herd of a thing called a wiki it contains a link that you can d/l all att .cab's. But I guess its just easier to be lazy and post a new thread on your first post.
dont you spend as much time or more reposting how evil they are for not searching?
Yeah but if it teaches them to search then its worth it. The amount of threads that are completley redundant beacuse of this type of thing

OZ Messenger. Its in my signature under AT&T.
Another Instant Messaging Thread
Ok I've been digging around the forums for about 2 hours now and I still haven't been able to find it, so I figured I would just break down and ask you guys. This may sound strange, but I liked the Instant Messaging client that comes pre-packaged with the Tilt, but after I flashed the ROM to Hyperdragon III to my surprise (Don't ask me why I didn't think of this ahead of time, I do not know) it was no longer there (for obvious reasons).
Does anyone know where I can find this IM client? Ive been digging around this forum and the at&t forums for a while now, and I'm about ready to give up.
I know all the alternatives, I just liked what came stock with the unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
i was looking for this myself as I use msn and yahoo messengers but had no luck finding the extracted app. I have settled for the live messenger right now which is on the cabs list under hyperdragons post but will monitor this to see if anyone posts the cab file

IT's called OZ IM, it's available to download in my cabs folder, and if you search you should be able to find it pretty easily.
Will merge this with the other IM threads.
Sorry to burst your bubble
Sorry, to burst your bubble.
Bursting your bubble.
I'm sorry for it.
Anyways, OZ instant messenger doesn't run of sms exclusively. I've been using it frequently via medianet on my tilt and I haven't had a single text message charged to my account. So go ahead and download oz messenger and use it via medianet. As for jivetalk... i don't know, but i'll check it out.
The cab files worked great. Thank You. I've also been looking for the IM program for the Tilt. Mine had disappeared after I hard reset the phone and dind't allow AT&T's bloatware to install.
Thanks again

Hi Folks
I wonder if anyone knows how to do this? I've had a good look around, but cant find how to do it.
I've recently had my TYTN II replaced by Orange, my second one was delivered with a different ROM and radio to my first-its actually pretty good, i might not flash it for a bit!
The one thing its missing though is the threaded SMS which is in many (all?) of the WM6.1 ROMS (when they're grouped by contact/conversation).
Does anyone know if this can be added somehow?
one more quick one:
Ive installed the latest version of Opera Mobile-its an awesome browser. i cant seem to set it as my TYTN II's default browser though-anyone know how I could do this too please?
Thanks a lot in advance,
'tunes
Yes, it's possible. There are many progams that do this like Vito.
Thanks, but does anyone know if there's a way to update the messaging app to match whats in the 6.1 ROMs, rather than replacing it?
I used the threaded sms messaging from the palm systems. worked good.
Windows Mobile 6.0 does not natively support threaded SMS. Unless you are willing to upgrade to 6.1, you will need to install a 3rd party app like those already listed.
Thanks a lot folks.
Any thoughts on setting Opera mobile as my default browser?
I'm sure there's just gonna be a reg key that'll need changing, but I cant track it down.
hey guys i have an att tilt with mob 6.1. i crack the screen last week and waiting for a new one to come in. i have been getting txt messages and its driving me nuts not able to read them. does anyone know how to extract them and able to view them on a pc?
thanks in advance
yeah use a program to view your screen forgot what it was called, google run wm 6.1 phone from pc. EDIT: sorry it is called mymoblier
wow this is probably the best tool i have ever seen haha. thanks you so much!!
