Hi,
First off, thank you for a really information rich and professional forum!
To my problem, I have the HTC Touch Diamond and I recently changed ROM to dutty's. By mistake I deleted all contacts in my phone book, unfortunately all my SIM contacts were deleted as well. I understand that it might be impossible to restore them since they were stored physically on a SIM card but I have seen some people in this forum manage to do things with this phone that I did'nt think were possible so I thought that I'll give you guys a try.
Is there a way to undo the deleting or am I screwed?
well though i can`t help you i`d like to give you an advice. didn`t you read in flashing manual BACKUP before flashing ? always backup backup backup unless you don`t store your contacts on Exchange server
Oh the problem did not occur after or during flashing, I just wanted you to know which ROM I am using. I could have done this with the stock ROM as well..
I just wanted to know if the diamond was that advanced that it stored all my deleted elements in the memory until I restart it.
Did your contacts really get deleted?
Dutty usually disables the display of SIM contacts (as do other cooks).
They might still be there, you just might not be seeing them.
^.^
check the sim manager
they maybe there...hiding!
i have flashed 100's rom and they have never touched the sim cards
Hehe as I said in my previous post it has nothing to do with the ROM-flashing. When I enter the SIM Manager it is empty and when I look at the properties of my SIM card it is totally empty, no entries, blank.. ****ed in other words
I dont count on solving this problem as the contacts are physically deleted but it would be really cool if the phone had it stored in the memory somewhere..

it sounds like you may be buggerd m8
your old phone still don't have a contacts list i take it?
I dont understand what you mean with "old phone" but I take it as you wonder if I have my contacts on the phone I used before the Diamond. I still do have some contacts on that one but not all unfortunately. Well seems like the only thing I can do is adding the contacts manually when I receive calls from my friends :\
Thank you anyway for your time!

Anycome come accross the scenario of having to (or being forced to) delete an existing email account and then trying to recreate it?
I have deleted my POP3 account, and then tried to recreate it using the same name as previously. I get a pop up box telling me that 'that name is already assigned to an account, please choose a unique name' or something like that.
This behaviour persists even after soft reset. Does anyone know where the name(s) of the email accounts are stored on the TyTN II - is it the registry or one of the system databases? I've searched the registry for the name of the account I was trying to use and come up with nothing.
I remember having the same problem with the original TyTN, is there a fix for this little bug?

The Messaging app is really weird. This might not be the same issue with yours, but I got one strange problem as well before:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330224&highlight=one+more+Cannot+recognize
Cannot find any solution elsewhere, tried a lot of forums, Microsoft WinMo forum ...
I ended up with hard-reset ... and it works. Now, I dont have the issue anymore (knock3 ... ).

I know this is an old reply and an even older thread, but I have to say thank you! I searched through tons of threads that did not help me solve this issue. I got a replacement phone of same model and moved the Sprite Backup data to the new phone which went fine, I just couldn't pull up the old email account even though TouchFlo saw it. It just wouldn't show up in Messaging and I couldn't recreate the account cause it kept saying an account by that name already existed. This tool worked great to fix my issue. Thanks again!

Welcome to the forum. It's really refreshing to see a first time poster who's read the rules, searched (comprehensively) and found their own solution without starting a duplicate thread. It just goes to show, the information is usually out there for the taking if you persist. I wish more people behaved this way.
I've recently bought a Kaiser (Vodafone 1615) and weirdly messaging has stopped loading, I can't check my messages or send and SMS, etc.
I've soft reset the device, but it's still the same. Is my only option now to hard reset and lose all data?
Hello Forums!
Hi scottola,
It sounds like some kind of software fault has developed with your handset. If you got it directly from Vodafone on a contract then you're covered by a warranty for the duration of your contract term.
If you would like us to arrange repair of the handset for you please contact us on 191 and we'll diagnose what's wrong and get it fixed without delay.
Hope this helps,

This is weird: my messaging app has also just stopped working. It won't load from the buttons, or using the exe directly. Is it hard reset time?
Any thoughts guys? No emails - can you imagine?
I'm sorry, but without help from any one else I can only offer, try a soft reset, if that don't work try a hard reset, as if your device came out of the box (or with any ROM upgrades you have done).
2x soft keys and a stylus up the derrier!!
Hang on as long as you can, someone may have had this before.
I have had this before...twice....
In both cases it was immediately after loading an application - last time was Google maps.
However, it isn't Google maps that caused it..I believe, from a process of trial and error, that it was one of two apps. loaded immediately BEFORE the last one - either WIMP or Bandswitch (or maybe a combo of both). Whatever, in both cases pressing the MESSAGING button or the Today secreen item resulted in nothing. Also there were icons missing in the apps and control panel folders. My only conclusion was that a badly constructed app. had somehow not controlled where in memory it was writing.
Sorry, but the only fix for my situation was a hard reset.

Mine does this. On mine it is lost clusters/chains on the storage card where you've saved attachments. The solution for me is to delete the Inbox.something folder on the card.
Why it happens I have no idea though.
Jon
Perfect! That worked - thank you.
The only downside is that I lost my old SMS messages - but it's better than no messages at all. Now to find a way of backing up those SMS messages....
thanks re messaging

My messaging suddenly stopped working also for no reason last week, I'm using the original Orange UK rom, had to do a hard reset to get it working again
Glad I read this post, at least if it happens again I have an idea of how to fix it, thanks for the tip

I don't think I lost my SMS msgs but the suggestion worked. Anyhow, Sprite Archie is a way of backing up your SMS to email.

WORKED FOR ME TOO. THANKS. AND GOOD LUCK TO ANYONE WITH THIS PROBLEM
this is VERY odd.. last week my messaging also stopped working! It acted as if the messaging exe. had been deleted or something.. nothing was responsive in launching it.
Someone mentioned google maps. I CLEARLY recalled that I updated to the new version of google maps.. and then the messaging problems occurred. I had been thinking these two were related.
Thank you so very much Jon

Thank you so much for the solution. It has helped many desperate souls just like myself.
I've been hard resetting & restoring old backup for the last 4 hours without avail until I read this post. I managed to launch the SMS/MMS/email again
Thank you once again & you're our saviour!
Mine did this 2 days ago, "luckly" a soft reset on my att tilt fixed it..(crosses his fingers)
Cheers Jon
had this occur on my TYTN II this morning and was starting to panic as i keep a lot of work mail and text on my handset and havent backed up this weeks yet !!!
managed to delete the inbox.xxxxxxx folder from the memory card and all is well, no messages or data lost, mind you i did a quick PIM backup before i did just in case.....
So big thanks fella.
I just removed my storagecard and put it back in again. that was all i needed to do
Windows Mobile 6 email/SMS/MMS not starting
Thanks to all who contributed to this solution.
I have an HTC Touch Cruise and was about to do a hard-reset when I found this thread.
Saved my day! and a lot of work in case I had done hard reset, having to install all my software again.
Deleting inbox.xxxxxx folder did the trick but there is one minor issue.
The HTC Touch Cruise has the 3D TouchFlo interface and this has a "Today" app that also has quicklauncher buttons for e-mail and SMS. These buttons indicate the number of unread e-mails and SMS-es and indicates a wrong number until you do a soft-reset.
Then works like a dream.
Thanks again.
I'm using the latest version of Slide2Unlock found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381588
Tried asking my question there, but no responses so far so I thought I'd ask in the Kaiser specific forum.
Everything seems to be working fine except when I get a call from someone in my contacts, it displays only the Number instead of their name. Anyone know how to fix this to get their name to be displayed instead?
Thanks.
I had that same problem before and it was because my contact list was from my SIM card and not the phone's memory. I had to move all my SIM contacts to the phone memory and it was fixed. Hope that fixes your problem..
i am quite sure if you open the slide to unlock settings there is an option for how you want the contact to be displayed.

There is something to display how the number is displayed ie. (###) ###-#### or ###-###-###
I haven't come across anything that says whether or not to display the name of the contact. If you could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

That could be the problem. All of my contacts are on my SIM card as I just got the phone about a week ago and haven't transferred them over yet. I'll see if that makes a difference. Thanks.
yeah, my contact names show up..... i am using S2U2 1.00 w/o any issues

Are your contacts from your SIM card or stored on your phone?
there is an option to 'enable caller id' this puts the contact picture on screen
Slide2Unlock which Ver????
I,m a noob and I read so much. But which version works 100% in a ATT Tilt with out a cooked ROM. I really like to know
Hi, Sorry if ther eis already info on this, i have been searching but haven't found anything.
I jsut changed to the resently released HTC WM6.1 ROM on my Orange TyTN iI. everything is working great, but for some reason i get the orange servce numbers (answerphone, text center etc) appear in my contact list.
I've tried updating the SIM manager application but doesnt seem to have fixed the issue.
Thanks,
stupid question, but alot of factory ROM's add those numbers to your contacts, Have you deleted them from your contacts? Thats all you need to do.
Those numbers can't be deleted as the delete button is greyed out and they don't exist in the sim manager program, you can just hide them using the kaiser tweak tool
Thanks, i'll try that out.
I don't really think it's a stupid question though, as said above, the "delete" option is grayed out. As i said in my original post the nubers are the service numbers stored on the SIM. I don't really appreciate such unhelpful replies.
funny must be a SIM thing cause I can delete them whey they come up on certain ROM's into my phone contacts. I had them on my SIM at one time and they are deleted.
**HAHAHAHA, no sorry i meant me, my question, i thought i was readin it wrong. i see now how it can be misunderstood. my bad**
**Did you go into the Sim Manager, Menu, Tools, and go to Service Dialing Numbers... and try deleting from there?**
I did try using the SIM mangaer but it doesn't give te option to delete the service dialing numbers. It's quite strange, but have managed to hide them with the tweak tool.
yea as i said its probably built into the sim. I guess if they are going to start pulling that shiz then i will have to make sure to keep my sim card. if i can help it i never let them swap out my sim card. usually those little bastards will do it without saying anything anymore.
So I loaded a new rom (energyrom3.0) running WM 6.5.
and when i did my restore for all my contacts etc using pimbackup, i see my contacts list just fine. but when someone calls, i just see their number no name or anything!!
i restored again and still no caller id....
I did a search and im not finding any info on this.
can someone tell me what Im doing wrong??
(htc fuze running energy rom 3.0)
it sucks not knowing whos calling or texting me, now I have gotten into the habit of not answering my phone because of this issue...
I cant memorize all my contacts !
Thanks for any help
anyone seen this?
its probably some setting that I have not seen...
yep - im getting the same problem and raised a
separate thread - lots of views but no replies
i think its a wm6.5 issue.
im on energy rom - which is superb so far - but the callerid and sms id is causing me problems so i may have to revert to an older rom
I can't say that I've experienced this. (Running RRE's rom though) Have you tried install slide to unlock just for the full screen caller id that it has? (you can disable the actual locking part if you dont want it). Also, what dialer are you using?
I used active sync and outlook for my syncing and backing up my contacts and it all worked fine with nrg 3.0.
yea i have a buddy that uses outlook sync to restore.
how do i use that?
im using the stock dialer.
try s2u2 you say?
i ahve had it in the past, i will install that and see how it works. just so many dam options when setting it up. can be a bit time consuming...
thanks for the replies peeps
where are your contact pictures located? In the past, if you stored them on the Storage Card, then it could also cause a delay/issue. Just a thought for something to try.
yep - i also used pimbackup - and energy 3.0 - and im having the same problem.
wonder if its to do with the backup/restore rather than syncing

I think you should just memorize all of your names and numbers. Think how much more that would impress your friends than a fancy phone...
Try ActiveSync on the PC. If you are on Vista, you will need Windows Mobile Device Center, which unbeleivably does not auto-install with a new OS image. You can find it on Microsoft website for free, the same for ActiveSync if you are on XP. However, to use Activesync, you really need Outlook to get much value out of it. The huge upside is that if you use Outlook and ActiveSync, you will have a copy of all your contacts in 2 different physical locations.

is this happening to anyone else??
i have fixed this - somehow ?!
removed icontact - and deleted the icontact 'contacts file'
did a new PIM backup - hard reset
when i looked at the texts they still had numbers not names, however i spotted that i had over 500 texts !!! cleared the lot of them out and everything working fine. callerID and text recognition perfect ....
Whether it was PIM backup, icontact or sheer volume of texts i dont know but what I can say is that its NOT the ROM.
im a happy bunny now
I am having the same problem, curently running At0mAng V5.1 WWE with WM 6.1. I did use PIM backup to restore, but to try to fix this problem I erased all of my contacts and restored them with Activesync. No luck, I suppose I should try a hard reset.

Yes really,.... If you hit the pwr button to off then back on, the callerID will be displayed. It's like a refresh of the lock screen. As for Energy Rom, I've been using Da_G's kitchen to cook since 21169 till 21222 and CallerID hasn't worked on the lock screen unless I do the pwr button trick.
I however have been using Exchange 2007 to sync my contacts in all versions though. Maybe it's something with that? I don't know...hopefully it will get resolved though.
Same prob here, I can tell u how to fix it..
Ive had the exact same problem with my stock Fuze. I checked HTC and even called them. Tried for nearly 3 hours on ATT talking with tech support. Yet these ppl only know whats written in their books. We, the ones that actually tweak and figure out the "bugs" in certain systems r the ones that know the answers. Thats why I love this site! .... sorry, got carried away. ... OK, ur most likely using the Advanced Config 3.3, if so, thats where the problem lies. If u go down to the "Phone" tweak inside of Advanced Config and set the "purge SIM contact when no SIM" Set this to YES. Now it DOES NOT delete the contacts as it says it should when u remove the SIM card and reboot. Instead it cuts off the NAME of ur caller ID yet still shows the number. Ive done about 12 master resets tryin to find the exact reason I kept losin my Caller ID name. This IS why. Though I have a different ROM, this just may be a bug that affects the entire system of any fone. Now my Caller ID works fine. When I install Advanced Config 3.3 and tweak it, the only things I change under the "Phone" catagory are Clean Period, cuz I like having all my calls in the dialer, and number of ID matches. Also when u install HD Tweak or Diamond Tweak do not set the ring to "Instant Ring". This will also cut the name of the Caller off. Yet u can change the "Ring Delay" to WITHOUT DELAY. This will solve the delay problem as well as the Caller ID disappearing act. I actually found that under another thread here. Both tweaks r set and my Caller ID has yet to cut off again. I may be wrong, yet it never hurts to try right? Good luck, hope this helps!
hi there,
also in advanced config is an option to use x digits as id.
i had the issue of it not recognnising contacts between 0 numbers and +44 numbers.
so i set this valuie to 10 digits then it doesnt matter about the zero or +44.
worth a shot.

Mine was set to Yes by default, should I set it to no? How about show Sim contacts in contacts? Very interesting though...
The only thing I save with PIM backup are my phone calls and messages. Therefore, I rely on Outlook to sync the remaining data such as contacts and appointments and I never have issues with any rom from any device using this method.
