Bear with me, maybe I'm just missing something here. I updated my Kaiser to Windows Mobile 6.1 earlier today, but first I backed all my contacts, messages, appointments, etc. using PIM Backup 2.7. When I tried to restore after updating, everything seemed to go smoothly. But upon opening my SMS, I realized my texts weren't restored. I tried to restore again, still no texts. Is it possible to ship my texts to 6.1? Or is 6.1 not compatible with the old text format?

Try looking and asking in the PIM backup thread for some more solutions to this. I found one that sometimes works.

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?

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.

Hi there!
as o2 germay now released another software update for the shiny diamond, i'm
going to install it today the whole backup thing is done, but there is one little
point i'm not quite sure about. is it possible to save the complete messages in
their threaded dialogues? i hope you understand what i'm talking about the
message backup is done by pimbackup. when i revert backups done by
pimbackup, the messages are all there, but not in there dialouges i can see
what everybody wrote to me, but i can't see what i have answered ...
can anybody help with that ?
cheers!
PimBackup doesn't save the threading unfortunately and i haven't seen any other decent backup programs
i hope someone else can help as i need it too!
Sprite backup will backup and restore your messages preserving the correct threading.
Where did you find this "new" update?
There's only the old 1.93.207.2 ROM on their Site?
I back up all my SMS with Jeyo Mobile Companion 2.0
I'm sure there's likely a program like it out there, so I welcome suggestions.
My problem is this: after upgrading the ROM to WM6.1 on my Tilt, I restored my SMS, as I did the last update for WM6 was released.
However, while I love the threaded-sms feature, Jeyo restores my messages first in the Inbox, and then the Sent folder. So, when I open my conversations, I get my contact's SMS first, newest to oldest, and then all my replies, newest to oldest, which makes it all hard to follow.
It is not a problem with SMS sent after the back up.
Is there any software I can use so sort out the SMS so they're relevant in the threaded feature?
I'm so very sorry if this confused and/or frustrated any of you.
I'm a total n00b.
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I have the same problem with PIM Backup.. did you find a solution??
did you guys try advance config v3.3? Google it.
When you get it try turning off threaded sms, restore the messages, then turn threaded sms back on.
Hopes this helps
thx
It works thx
Hi all,
I have Tilt and I am very fond of messaging.
I was having a conversation through SMS with a frnd and when i was replying to one of his SMSs, all of a sudden hung a lil bit and all the SMS of his has gone.
Then later i checked, some people and sites who are regular with their SMS (3-5 SMS in day), those SMS are also gone but not the complete thread is being deleted.
I am not able to understand the pattern.
Is it like that each thread can contain only a specific number of SMSs.
And earlier i thought this might be a problem with my handset or s/w, but today one of my frnd who uses HTC 3400, had the same prob.
Kindly help. I had more than 1000 SMS in it.
Softwares installed:
SPB Pocket mobile shell 3
kaiser tweak
google maps
web cam plus
Regards,
Abhishek
while you are looking for a solution, i suggest you backup all your text messages using "pim backup"...search for it on xda
this way, you will have a backup that you can restore in case the situation gets worse and your device starts "forgetting" even more text messages
Yes, i am encounter the same problem too, where my sms been deleted automatically after soft reset my phone. Why it can be happen? any way to solve this?
Phone: Dopod 810
OS : WM6.0

thanx buddy for the suggestion, but i believe ,anyones fate would not have fallen pathetically sick as mine. I had all the backups, but my hard disk also crashed.
anyways ..... still looking for a solution ... i believe theres a hidden bug in WM6.0 n 6.1
But it is hard to believe that no one till date has not escalated this issue.
Hope to find a resolution for it.
Cheers !!! (Hope if WM allowed us to)
Hi, is there any latest ROM that doesn't mess up SMS threads?
Dutty's R7 with HTC messaging - u can't see the whole message if it's longer than 200 chars, same with Miri V12. Also tried Miri's V30 based on Manila 2.1 - and the problem there is even more ridiculous - in a thread messages are in wrong order, first goes all my replies and then the other persons txts.
I am using Jeyo Mobile Companion and PIM to restore messages and get the same results. Any proper ROM?
i think the problem lies in the backup program, they somehow restore them in the wrong way. I think it works via myphone (at least that what i heard).
The best solution is to not sync your messages, which i do .
I don't really understand why people have to put hundreds of old text messages back on their phone, they have read them right?
Anyhow, it is related to the backupprogram and manila not working correctly. Try using topix, in that rom there are no bugs at all (but it's a wm 6.1 rom)
Not really sure that this is the problem of the restoring programs as I tried different options. Tried also Laurentius V3 - again problem with messages that don't show in full and that lay over each other.
Anyone else having same problem? Or any advices on program that actually works?
I have the same issue with text messages being out of order on NRGZs Energy Photon ROM, the new 23081 build.
The issue is down to the date/time stamp on the messages. I had my messages going out having the same time but yesterday's date on them, hence the order being all wrong. I checked through all the regional settings etc to see whether all that was ok, but nothing was wrong.
It appears not to be doing it now, but I have cleared all my messages out and soft reset a few times since, so I cannot say what was causing the issue.
if you run manila2.1, whatever rom has this cab is ok
no, that doesn't work either...The usual problem: all my messages in the beginning, if I scroll up I find other persons messages and at the very top txts for today for both of us
other ideas? I don't get it really: what's the point in all the new cabs and functions if one of the two main functions - texting and calling - doesn't work properly?
sorry fr bumping such an old thread... but have been facing this issue with all the ROMs i've tried...it's highly irritating. i some times miss imp. smses
I'll test the fix cab and report soon...
In case someone has already found a working solution. please post it here.
B.U.M.P. guys.. anybody has a solution for this?? kindly help ..
topix for sure has no messed up sms's. dunno i tried lots of m2.1 roms and if sms were messed up i installed the attached cab and they worked
If you're using a backup/restore SMS program, you should disable Threaded messaging before backuping and before restoring.
I've noticed that backup/restore SMS programs have some problems with threaded messaging, but I have never encountered the messing issue since I disable Threaded messaging before both backuping and restoring.
