SMS "local storage" - not persistent :-( Please help...

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!

Can not send email after updating rom to 6.1

Three weeks ago I updated my TyTNII with the new official HTC rom (I've an unbranded HTC TyTNII).
This all went well.
After setting up an email account I could send and receive emails with GPRS and Wifi. No problems for days.
Suddenly next week I couldn't send emails anymore.
Receiving email is still working but sending email gives an error '....Check your network coverage or (and) your accountsettings.....'
Nothing changed, no additional software is installed, no software removed.
The problem of sending emails occured out of nothing.
I also used an other emailaccount (I checked the settings several times) for testing and had the same problem.
Does anybody know what causes this ?

Nobody came across this kind of problem ?

Try this:
Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks > Edit > Proxy Settings > Make sure "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" is NOT checked.
Please post the results.

That option is not checked.
Still got the problem.

I have run into that many times.
Re-setup the account with a different name. Seems like your account has been corrupted.
Either that or hard reset.

Thanks....resseting the account did it.
Still a strange problem.

Yes, I had this problem. I setup the account again - and it STILL won't send. Really odd as it worked fine before 'upgrading' to 6.1.
It's independent of connection type. I use an independent email provider (fastmail) so I know that's not the problem. Any thoughts on how to delve deeper into the smtp settings than Pocket Outlook's menu system allows?

Still cant send
I have the same problem and it will eventually come back after account reset. Hopefully someone can figure out why.

Add another to this list...
I re-created the account under a different name and it worked fine for about a week, back to the same issue.
This is a SERIOUS problem that needs to be addressed, has anyone gotten any support from HTC in regards to this issue?

and me too.i have flashed alsorts of diffrent roms and radios with no joy.tred resetting up the email everytime.the frst week of using the first cooked rom was fine.after that nothing will solve the problem.
no matter if i load a new rom/radio.
i have now managed to half reload the t-mobile uk rom back to my phone and email is now working again but my phone will not awake from sleep now.
wish id never played with it lol,
any help appreciated

I have had this problem countless times over the years of using a PPC with IMAP (AOL). Recreating account does work, but only for a while (sometimes month's, sometimes days, and sometimes not at all).

well mine will not work whatever 6.1 rom i try.i have finally managed to get 6.0 back to my phone (with alot of effort) and straight away its working using the same settings i used on the 6.1 roms.
i just cannot understand what the cause could of been.i really want the 6.1 rom as they are alot quicker and i love the threaded sms.anyway i can get threaded sms on a 6.0 rom? or does anyone know of a fix for the email.im using ntl email.
also forgot to mention that on the 6.1 rom emails from an internet address worked fine its just the pop3 acounts that dont work for me

Sure, for threaded SMS try Vito's SMS chat application. I prefer it over the winmo version.

My experience is exactly the same: each time I recreate the email account, the problem returns after a short while - usually a few days; it's very very annoying. I need to go back to 6.0...or are there any suggestions for a Pocket Outlook replacement?

I have this same issue but strangely enough I also had it on my Palm TX via VersaMail. The way I fix this issue on VersaMail is I put a semi colon after the email address... ie. Your [email protected]; . But this dose not work with WM6.1 email.

Phone functionality died this morning

I've had my Tilt running pretty smoothly on the stock firmware since I bought it over the summer (camera stopped working, but that's a different story). Anyway, I did a backup this morning (SPB Backup), and after the reboot I couldn't get a voice signal. If I pushed the phone button, nothing would happen! Now here's the weird thing: I'm able to get a data connection (was able to get new email), but the phone icon still says no service. Has anybody experienced this before, or know of any fixes? I've soft-booted a few times, but didn't want to hard boot if there was a simpler way.
And yes I did search this entire forum for similar posts, but didn't find any.
Thanks in advance!

have you tried a different SIM from a different operator?
you might want to try a different SIM from a different operator just to be sure your SIM and/or operator is not the problem.
if it works with another SIM, you can be fairly certain that it is NOT a hardware issue...in which case, a hard reset will more than likely resolve your problem.
also, are you able to receive incoming calls? what kind of a message does the caller get in case your phone doesn't even wake up and ring? finally, have you tested sms text messaging? try sending a message to someone and also try to receive an sms text message from someone...these little steps will help you confirm whether or not you are experiencing a hardware issue...in which case you might want to consider having it checked/fixed under warranty.
keep searching...cheers !!!

Happened to me once. I tried everything, but didn't work. If it's under warranty, AT&T will replace it. I went through 3 units in the 11 months I owned tilt.

hmmm have you tried flashing another Radio? (don't know what happened to your camera, but if you've got cam & phone issues, it's worth checking the Radio...

It's happened to me twicw also. This is an SPB Backup quirk. I'm afraid a hard reset is all that's left to do.

Well,
first of check if you're connecting to the correct network AT&T and not accidently logged on to the T-Mobile network - perform a manual network search / selection on your device.
If the above step does not help, try to restore your device with the SPB Backup you made. If that also does not work, well, then ... yeah ... hard reset! I would not really consider a RADIO FLASH on your device since it semmed to be working fine for you before that?

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I tried doing a full restore of the latest backup (that morning), and that seemed to bring back the phone functionality. However, the restore also eliminated a few of my main programs, which was very weird! So, I did a full restore from the previous backup and tested that one out. Everything was like it should be. Then I did a restore of the latest backup's tasks/appointments (only things that changed), and now I'm back to full operation
As a side question, since I'm running WM 6.0 and want to flash to 6.1, would I be able to do a full restore from SPB Backup... or would that be incompatible with the upgraded OS?

You won't be able to perform a FULL RESTORE. There are a couple of changes in WM6.1, so, just to be on the save side I would suggest that you back up your PIM data, then flash to 6.1, restore your PIM data and reinstall all of your application.
BTW:
I was running WM6.1 on my MWg Zinc II and couldn't find any real advantages other than THREADED SMS. The Pocket IE gets a whole bunch of new bugs (for example Frames in websites are not shown or not shown correctly) and experienced a couple of incompatibilities with 3rd-party software application. If you still want to take a chance, good luck! However, I do not believe that you can go back to WM6.0 once you flash to 6.1!

I wouldn't upgrade to 6.1 if you're running SPB software. I was running 6.1 without problems, then loaded SPB Phone Suite, Diary, and Pocket Plus, and suddenly Garmin XT couldn't locate satellites at all. It took several hard and soft resets, and a visit to the SPB forums to realize that 6.1 could be the culprit, and it was. All problems disappeared with 6.0. There was a post at the SPB forums that *seemed* to indicate that SPB apps hadn't been fully tested--they may have used the word "certified"--with 6.1. Good luck.

No, that's not it -- I'm running the latest versions of all of those SPB titles on a stock 6.1 with no problems.

i have no spb apps on this one and i have the problem...it just can't fix the network
it happened few days ago to a guy that isn't quite familiar with ppcs he somehow turned it off and when he turned it on he couldn't get the network...eventually he hooked up after half a day (i'm not sure for how long did this problem last because i don't know does he use soft reset and flight mode)...so i took the kaiser to test it and to see what happened..i messed with flight mode and SR it couldn't find the net at all
tried wm6 and two wm6 radios
tried wm6.1 and two wm6.1 radios
i'll try android...just to test the module itself..if there are any hardware issues

MMS / EMAIL MSVC stopped working! HELP

Hi everyone..
I am a somewhat profiecient Tilt user.. had a few windows mobile phones before.. and had my tilt over a year.. I never had any problems with the WM 6.0 rom so I never upgraded it.... But now I ahve a problem... Today my GPS wasn;t locking on so I reset the phone, and as usualy it fixed the problem.. but now my messaging (and email) won;t work...
I have the HTC Home Installed (been installed a long time) and I use the buttons on the clock screen on it to access my MMS and Email... I went to send a txt and it did nothing.. I thought hte phone was froze.. but other stuff works.. I tried email next.. same problem... It also says the MSVC has encountered a problem and that is not working either.. it all happened at the same time....
The real problem is I have my phone EXACTLY how I wanted it.. with this tweek and that tweek... This program and that program.. this setting & that setting... sigh... I have an odd provider (Einstein PCS) so I had to set up all custom MMS, Email, Internet, and other setting that took a long time to get them all just "right"... I thought the SD card may have went, but other software that I know is on the SD card runs fine (including tomtom)... Any suggestions from anyone before I do hard reset? Please.. I don;t want to have to redo everything...

Retrace your steps
Hi
I have found that when something stops working after installing new software, if I uninstall any software, in the reverse order it was installed, this usually restores functionality. Uninstalling one piece of software at a time and running trials in between uninstallations usually helps to identify the culprit. If you haven't actually installed new software to co-inside with the failure then this advice is no good for you.
For future reference I would recommend using Sprite Backup (I think that the latest version is 6.5 and can be found on their website). With this software you can make a back up of your existing configuration prior to installing any new software. Then, if anything goes wrong you can just hard reset and run the backup file (stored as an .exe file) from the storage card and you'll get back to exactly where you were before the install.
Hope all that helps.
Cheers

Thanks for the advice but I did nto install anything.... I will get that sprite backup though for future use... thank you.... What I did find this morning is this...
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/107262...&maxResults=20
It seems many other people have had MOST of the same problem... When I followed the directions and deleted the inbox om my SD card, it fixed everything... even the Microsoft Voice command.. no idea how they are related, but it must be.... The only problem is that now after doing all this research on new ROMs, I found one I want to try... now I gotta decide if I want to go through all that work if I don;t have to... I think I will do the sprite backup.. download a default at&T 6.0 rom if I can find one.. then TRY The new rom.. if I hate it.. install the default rom and resotre my settings.. Thansk for you help though

Do you have your Einstein settings. I haven't been able to get my Fuze to connect reliably. I'd certainly appreciate it. Thanks!

Touchflo crashes when accessing invidual call history

Hi all, sometimes when I access the an individual contact's call history touchflo will just crash, restart and send me back to the home screen after it has loaded.
I've tried a hard reset of my stock rom and then changed to a cooked rom (the Topaz ESSentiaL 6.1 rom - very nice btw ) but the problem persists after about a day or 2, although it seems to be less frequent with the cooked rom. It also doesn't seem to have anything to do with the amount or types of calls in the call history - i added a new contact with some made up number that i had no communication with but it has crashed when accessing it's individual call log, and sometimes it crashes with contacts that i have had frequent communication with. But as I've said, it's only occasionally and not every time so I really don't understand.
Anyone with similar problems or any advice? Apologies if this has been discussed before, I did a search but couldn't find anyone with my specific problem.

is there seriously no one who has any input at all?
I think I may have narrowed the problem down to receiving calls form unknown or private numbers - if i go in to the default windows mobile call log and delete all records in the unknown number category touchflo doesn't seem to crash when going in to the individual call logs. I really don't understand why this would be causing manila to crash though. And I haven't waited long enough to see if the problem actually goes away yet.
I have also realised that despite having numerous hard resets and new roms flashed to it (with both wm 6.1 and 6.5), my device still has the same total call duration being displayed in the device information settings window as before. This means there is at least some information which does not get erased during a hard reset. Does this mean there could be some sort of registry key or something else which is causing the problem which does not get erased during a hard reset also?
I have spoken to htc support and they said if a hard reset does not solve the issue I can put it in for a warranty repair. But I bought this phone from from an extremely unreliable ebay seller (despite his good feedback) and don't want to have to deal with him again. I'm also not sure I'd be able to find my stock rom again.

No such problems here...

I've got the exact same issue. Same as you I can't find any particular rhyme or reason to it though either.
I'm new to Windows Mobile and haven't flashed any ROM's yet (still a little scared) so can't comment on that side of things, and therefore obviously my issue occurs with the stock ROM.
I've been playing with SPB Shell to be honest and am thinking of ditching touchflo anyway but if you find a fix it would be good to hear.

Wow I'm so relieved to find out I'm not the only one. Mine occurred on the stock rom with the only 3rd party apps installed being s2u2 and the ram cleaner and no registry changes or anything whatsoever. But the fact it happens regardless of what rom I am using worries me and I've just kind of given up on a real fix - the only thing that seems to work is switching to the default windows mobile call log and deleting all entries from unknown numbers.

I also use ram cleaner - I wonder if there could be any corrolation there?
You also said that you think it might be something to do with receiving calls form unknown or private numbers - every call I get shows up as 'unknown' even if its from someone in my phone book. I keep meaning to get in touch with 3 to ask them if they need to turn on caller ID or something - but again that could be linked to this issue.
