Messaging has stopped loading

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.

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.

Recently used progs list on START button

Hi folks!
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but my search results showed nothing so i had to ask as this is driving my mad.
When i hit START on my WM6 handset, as you will all have, i have a list of previously used programms.
Well with installing Slither's Cube (awesome by the way and more to come soon i'm told... see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336234), i've been back and for the testing icon links so my screen after hitting START is 'more' than full, it's at bursting point
So my question is this.
Is there any way you can reset it back to scratch / basic?
There MUST be... isn't there???
Message back soon before i end up crying
Steve

tweaks2k2 can clear up the recently used program. Dont know the exact registry key tho, sorry!

No worries mate. One more thing. This is another one that is winding me up something rotten.
Example... on a Nokia, you can choose the view you wish to have in your contacts list by going into options etc etc and selecting either... SIM ONLY, SIM AND PHONE MEMORY or just PHONE MEMORY.
Obviously the PHONE MEMORY on a WM5 or 6 would be OUTLOOK so... how do you display OUTLOOK ONLY???
Am i making sense here?! lol
If i can't get the answer to this in the next day or so then i'll have to New Thread it cus this one drives me mad to!

Delete everything in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch] and soft reset asap.

For hiding SIM contacts, thus displaying only "Outlook" contacts:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Phone\"ShowSIM"=dword:00000000]

I have to put you to the test now!!!
Ok, the XDA Orbit has a built in GPS as does the Kaiser yes.
No, what the Orbit DOES have that the Kaiser doesn't is... yes, you guessed it... an FM Radio.
So... would it be possible to get the FM Radio settings off the Orbit ROM and patch them into the Kaiser ROM?
Anything you can think of or trick you have up your very knowledgeable sleeve at all?
This should test you!!!

P.S. Did you take a look at my question about the FM Radio at all?

unless the kaiser magically gets a am/fm radio, no
but if you have an unlimited data plan and/or wifi in the area just stream it!

TomTom Navigator forgetful?

Ive got the L26 v4 rom and used to have the stock at&t rom, both give me the same tomtom navigator problem. MY home is always default when i restart the program, none of my favorites are saved, if i add any personal info its gone the next time i start the program. Gps works great haha. Id just love to save the gps location of me in the porta john at work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TomTom always defaults to your home location, it's intended to, that's just how it works. If you want to change it; feel free, but it'll start wherever you change it to next time too.
And I just checked, I have my typical favorites, no problems that I know of. TomTom behaves almost exactly the way it did on my Treo 680.

No it goes to the default hom elocation of the white house not my house it never saves my home location or favorites. i think i made that clear it forgets everything i put in i cant have favortes or a home address because it acts like the first time i ever started tomtom ITS NOT ROM RELATED
can anyone tell me where tomtom keeps all its userdata maybe its saving in the wrng pace or something cuz it never saves anything

hello. Sounds like you have your poi.dat and a few other files set to read-only. Check the properties of the TomTom folders and ensure that they are not read-only.
Thanks

The GPS settings are stored in "navigator.cfg", while all other settings are stored in "MapSettings.cfg", which is in the map folder. Make sure that none of these two files is read only. Actually, make sure that all TomTom related files are not read only.

awesome thanks guys that did the trick. now i can save my gps coordinates for slacking off at work haha. Way better answers than IT ALWAYS DOES THAT haha

Just to add, although probably irrelevant now you've sorted it, but for anyone else reading this thread, if you want to remove your home location completely for security or for any other purpose, just delete the file MapSettings.cfg from the map folder on your SD card. It will recreate itself once you run the program again and add or change settings, without a home location, or you can specify a new one. From my experience, it makes itself not Read Only by default.

Maybe next time if you actually ask the question the way you later explained it, my answer would have been different. No reason to get pissy over it. Point out to me where my answer was incorrect. No? Didn't think so.

No i thought the best place on a jobsite is the porta john therefore gps cordinates are NESSECARY. Hmmmm dump of the week, niiiiice. Thanks for everyones reply!!

The .cfg file contains Home, favs and recent destinations. Nothing else should require removing.
Re. Read Only: I've found that this issue arises when Tomtom is backed up, and then restored, from a CD / DVD.
Burning the disk sets the attributes to Read Only (IMHO), so the files still retain the Read Only attributes when copied back to the SD card.
There are ways of changing this either on the Kaiser, or on a PC, but my prefered method would be to place the SD card into a reader on the PC, select the card/drive - Right click for properties and unselect the Read Only attributes to all.
Note - Properties can be accessed through mouse right click !

thanks everyone

Help! Device memory only 4MB

Firstly forgive me if this has already been dealt with, but I did a search and couldn't find anything.
My device is showing 4.1MB free of 133MB, which seems very low. I don't think I've downloaded anything significant but I don't know how to find major files which shouldn't be there.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you archive your text messages, and never erase them? You might have a build up of picture / video mail, if you do that excessively.

Ni I delete them

Is your device running sluggish.
If it's not you are creating a problem out of nothing.
Maybe you have too many CABs or programs installed. Think about removing some.
But if you have your phone how you want it and its not running slow, then don't worry about it. Why have memory you're not going to use.

It's not running sluggish at all. I was just concerned that 4 out of 133MB didn't seem much!

What ROM are you using? It might have a dynamic Page poll which means It will use what it can.

you may want to try a hard reset see if it fixes the issue but back up your data.

I've previously used TreeSize. Try googling for 'treesize ppc'.
It's an old app, but does its job perfectly. It'll show you whats using your storage space.

Phantom Mailbox in Touchflo - How to remove?

Hi there,
using a touch Diamond and some time ago went through a ROM upgrade and used Sprite Backup.
On the messagign screen I now have some phantom mail boxes on the right hand side. If you click on the envelope it will come up saying "no Messages". If you then click on inbox it will take you to the Select an Account screen (as the selected account doesn't actually exist)
If you go through to the Windows Mobile interface you can only see the current mailboxes which are configured.
I have looked into the option of creating a new backup and hard reset and restore without the mail and configure all over again but would like to avoid this as I have found in the past this leaves me with duplicate records (due to sycing with multiple machines).
I am looking to find where I need to go to remove the phantom mailboxes. Looking around I am assuming there must be some configuration files or registry elements for TouchFlo which tells it to display the folders.
Does anyone know where this information is to edit or delete? All ideas are welcome and encouraged.
Thanks in advance

i have the same problem.Did you find the solution for this?Please post.

I have the exact same problem and it's quite anoying

i had the problem once too, and then I was advised to use the file i'm posting here. Copy to phone and run the .exe from phone.
I got it from another thread here on XDA-Devs, but don't remember who to credit.. Post if successful.
