Default storage for text messages.. - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi guys, when I first got this phone it was super fast. now everything is super slow and I suspect its due to me putting all my 4000 text messages onto the phone.
Is it possible through registry or something to shift all the messages onto a memory card?
I dont want to delete them really.
Many thanks,
P.S anyone know any software for moving and viewing text messages on a PC?

I will never understand why people keep 4000 text messages.

Jeyo Mobile Companion (I think) will sync your text messages into MS Outlook on your PC. Then you can archive them there.

after backing up all my messages and PIM data. I realise its less than 2mb. therefore it can't be slowing the phone down.
must just be a slow phone, thought it was very fast to start with though, especially the HSPDA

Text messages gone!`

I just rebooted, and now my text messages are gone! There's no "text messages" tab under messaging, and if I select a number and hit "send text message" nothing happens. Now there's an "IPM.root" folder in outlook express instead. Everything else seems fine. Any ideas?
What other software do you have installed out of curiousity?
I had a similar issue except that i didn't lose my text messaging, i lost ALL messaging. As in, I hit the button, clicked the icon, nothing happened. I ended up installing Pocket Informant as my default PIM and for messaging I installed Flexmail 2007. They are not free, but I like them a lot. One of the things I like about Flexmail is the pop/imap only works if the program is running. So if I'm sitting at my computer at work I can close Flexmail and not get redundant emails. Text messaging works as normal.
I never figured out why my messaging disappeared and found no explaination from anyone here. I've tried different ROM's, different software.

Do you have the option "store mail attachments on memory card" ticked?
If so, that's the problem.
It happened to me few times while using two memory cards, all you have to do is delete the folder with mail attachments on the card, uncheck the box, soft reset and check the box again( if you want), problem solved.
I did a hard reset last week and decided to give the standard messaging a shot. So far so good, and now that you mention it, I don't have the "Store attachments on memory card" option checked. It's been almost a week and I haven't lost my messaging.
Thanks for the heads up. Now it just pisses me off that I spend $45 on flexmail and pocketinformant when i really didn't need to.
So if it will happen again try to take out the memory card, soft reset, and put it back AFTER IT STARTED - that also worked
I really don't see a need for third party messaging application, the original is good enough.
The only thing that annoys me is unablity to copy-paste text between Messaging and any other programs, for example writing an email in Pocket Word then copying it and pasting to blank email to send it as a text, not word doc. :evil:

I tried what you recommended but I still do not have text messaging as an option under my message selections. I only have outlook email, MMS, IMAP4 and yahoo. Somehow I have managed to loose the text message selection folder. Do you know of anything else that I can do? Thanks

Archiving and Deleting SMS...

I recently installed the palm SMS app to my tilt, and now every time I load up the app I get 10 *new* text messages that are from months ago. I had thousands of messages already on my tilt and I guess for some reason they come in unthreaded 10 at a time every time I start it now.
How do I delete all my old text messages, and if possible save them externally? I tried deleting the "messages" folder under windows but that didn't work and they are suddenly reappearing there after restart.... 10 at a time.
Where else are they saved? How do I get rid of them??? Thanks!
You can you use PIM backup for saving your SMS externally or Jeyo SMS backup which is a good sms backup tool (but it ain't free...).
The SMS's that are re-appearing are probably held on your SIM card (remember those old days!) and Pocket Outlook is just loading them back in every time.
You need to delete SIM messages to get rid of them.
If you can't do it through your Kaiser, find an ancient basic Nokia phone, put the SIM in that and see if the SMS's are there then delete them.

Inbox Storage Limit reached. HELP!

My Inbox [SMS account only, ActiveSync/mails are empty] has 34340 messages. My sent has about 29080. Inlcuding all subfolders and their messages, the total is about 69550 approx.
It seems this is the maximum my inbox can handle. I cannot "reply" or "forward" texts or create any new. the options simply do not work until I delete a text or two - which is what i hv been doing for now.
My phone seems to have SUFFICIENT MEMORY currently for a lot more texts. From the memory tab: Storage: 26.64mb free. Program : 15.32mb free.
The phone runs Windows Mobile 2003 SE. i-mate Pocket PC.
Is there a way to allocate more to inbox? IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET IN MORE MESSAGES ?
IMPORTANT: I AM NOT WILLING TO DELETE ANY TEXT AT ALL. DO NOT SUGGEST THAT OPTION
*help*
It sounds like you've hit the maximum file limit within a folder, considering you've reached over 65000 files, that sounds akin to 16bit limitations. The only real option I can see is if you back up your text messages to another storage medium and clear the memory away.
I know you've said that you don't want to delete anything but that's the only solution I can see. I suppose you can use PIM backup and store the texts in a binary file on a memory card etc but it would mean that you cant view them readily.
That's all I can suggest, hope something works. (I cant say I'm right though, I could be talking out of my arse here, I'm just going by a gut feeling).
Out of curiosity though, how have you managed to rack up a total of 65000 messages? That sounds insane!
I googled a bit, and i've figured i can fit in more messages if I change the storage location from "Windows\Messaging" to anything on my SD Card.
There is a registry key which needs to be edited for this. But So far i haven't been able to find it on the internet, or by myself.
Any help with that will be greatly appreciated.
and 65000? Lol. I do an average of 800-950 texts a day

[Q] Internal memory bit by bit

Hi
I just deleted by accident a whole thread of text messages.
I know I can't recover the text messages as a nice thread back on my phone.
What I am trying to do however is to access *all* of the internal memory.
Make some sort of raw dump of the whole internal memory (where text messages are stored as well) and browse it with a hex editor in the hope of finding pieces of my text messages with my gf.
Is it possible ? are there better solutions ?
Thanks
I have no idea if this is possible or not, but if you value your text messages so much, you should seriously consider using an app such as SMS Backup to backup all your messages to gmail automatically, like I do.
I am aware I had to back up and how to do it... but I just wanted to know how I could access *all* of the internal drive of my phone even the supposed 'free' space... ?

[Q] Transferring large amount of txts from iphone to HTC one

Hi Guys,
I have a issue moving large amount of iPhone messages to HTC one, the HTC Sync Manager moves most of the them but some of the threads are not complete and others are missing. We are talking like around 100,000 messages going back a couple of years.
Is there any software out there that can complete this process better than the HTC Sync Manager. Maybe move a chunk at a time instead of the full 100,000?
Cheers
There is a program called Backuptrans iPhone SMS + MMS to Android Transfer may help. It lets you transfer messages with a single contact only at a time. Try it.
But I don't know if your HTC One Messaging app can deal with 100,000 messages. It may load the messages very slow.
Good luck!

In my opinion, no one needs to have that many messages saved on their phone. They are way better off backing them up somewhere online for possible later use. Also, I can pretty much confirm that the messaging app won't work. I have about 5000 messages or a little less and the app is already unbearably slow. So 100,000 will simply make it unusable.
