SMS questions in 6.1

I've got quite a lot of SMS on my Kaiser, which ideally I want to keep. I've recently upgraded to WM 6.1, from the official upgrade. I backed up all my text messages, and restored them with PIM Backup. With the new threaded text messages in 6.1 it doesn't seem to work correctly with the restored messages - in my inbox if I click on a message I get a thread with all my sent messages, but not the received ones. Any ideas?
Also does anyone know a way of copying text messages from an SE k800i to a WM phone?
Thanks

Changing ROMS - keeping threaded SMS and MMS

I'm pretty keen to update to one of the newer ROMs (I'm using one of Dutty's from way back in March or so)
The problem is that I need to keep my SMS (and ideally my MMS) which are threaded. As I understand it PIM Backup 2.8 doesn't do threaded SMS and MMS - is there an alternative somebody can suggest?

It works fine for me, I have used pim 2.8 with threaded sms/mms for a long time, and have no problems with it

I had no problem with PIM 2.8 and backup of SMS messages and textual part of MMS messages, from Threaded SMS app, but I have lost the pictures and sounds from MMS messages.

This question should have been posted in the kaiser general forum not the rom development forum. I know that you probably posted it here because it gets the most attention, but believe me when i tell you that most of the people who have the answers check the software and general forum as well. Having a lot of threads like this posted here just clutters this forum and makes it more difficult to keep up to date on the roms that are being developed. In addition, it is XDA policy to post in the relevant thread, and in the correct forum.
To answer your question hoever, I use pimbackup and i haven't had any troubles with it not restoring my attachments to mms messages.

MMS problems vs threaded sms

I downloaded a sms threaded text cab for my att tilt- my problem is that i can't send or receive MMS messages anymore. i've been looking for days to find a way around this because i love the threaded text, but i NEED my MMS capabilities. can you point me in the right direction or do i just need to abandon my threaded txt and revert back to the original to get my MMS back?

You could always upgrade to WM 6.1. It has threaded SMS built in.

this is true, but what about my mms...and now my mms wont work because i reverted to the original text format. its just saying that it is unable to send the picture message.

Im guessing you tried using Vito SMS chat. It was a nice app for threading your sms and loked nice too. But it takes over your messages folders. If it wasnt SMS chat you used then im guessing whatever program you installed did the same thing. I hated this cuz like you said, you then cant send or receive MMS. I looked for a long time to get around this. So now I am using Birdsoft's Xtreme Text which does not affect your message folders in any way. It simply just looks at your inbox and then just groups your messages by contacts so it looks like threaded sms. Then your phone handles MMS just like normal. So when you want to send or check sms just launch the Xtreme Text app. Then if you want to send or view MMS you just open your stock message folder.
So if your MMS is all messed up right now, I would do a hard reset to put everything back to normal, then reinstall all your favorite apps, then just install Xtreme Text to get that threaded sms feel you want.

You could use Pim Backup too.

Try Jeyo Mobile Companion. I used that to backup both call history and sms prior to flash any new ROM. The drawback is this software can't backup your MMS. In fact it causes program to crash when there's MMS with attachment in your inbox. Maybe can google around for "Jeyo alternative". Hope you could find one that's suitable for your needs.

PimBackup is for me the most suitable way. Very easy and reliable. Just search for it... I've about 4000 sms on my device, the backup takes app. 10minutes,
the restore about 30min.

ok i'll try pim backup. thx a lot guys

Can't open SMS in Threaded SMS

Hi all..
I've tried searching to no avail.
Only today I can't seem to open any SMS in Threaded SMS mode. Whenever I tried to use Reply or Open any sms, nothing happens.
After disabling Threaded SMS, I'm able to open any SMS.
Any1 encounter such problems before?
I'm using PDA Corner V19 (I think) Win 6.1.
Had no problems for so many mths using the ROM.
Thanks in advance.

just an update of what I did before the problems started:
think problem started when I edited threaded_sms.htm to delete the word count as per what I'd read from http://www.fuzemobility.com/page/4/
here's part of the post...
So you can do this tweak in one of two ways. You can overwrite the file thread_sms.htm with bradyonly’s file (or if you’re using 6.5 then use hibby50’s) or you can just do it yourself. The DIY method is pretty simple. Just open up thread_sms.htm (you can copy this file to your desktop and open it in notepad or if you’re using Total Commander locate the file and then press the pen/paper icon at the bottom and it will open in notepad on your phone). Then locate the line that begins “<Inbox: content id=”COMPSESUBJECT” width=”98%”… and delete the single word “count” from that line then hit ‘save’ (or if you used your PC then overwrite the file) and soft reset your phone. And you’re done.
I did make a copy of the original threaded_sms.htm file. Once my threaded sms had problems, I had copied back the original file.
But it still didn't work...

i have problem with my message is can't open new message anh reply
So. how do it fixing?

I had the same problem few days ago.. I received two sms and after them I had immediatelly received an mms, so all of the previous sms were gone and the mms was looking as the first message in the conversation. But there were still two unread messages.. I wasn´t able to get to them until I turned off threaded sms via registry.. I didn´t know what to do, so I had to do HR

I am having the same issue on a Niki 100, anyone with any idea of the solution?
I hadn't editied anything, just flashed the ROM and I can only use SMS in non-threaded mode.

If you miss it that much hard-reset is the solution.
