Hiya,
Just reset my phone after backing everything up, gone to restore, it does its thing, but nothing appears in my messages etc?
Before it actually restores it clearly states theres 1500 or so messages to restore.
Confused!
Ive tried searching but not come across anything.
Please help!
Its only messages that havent transfered, the rest is fine.. Odd..
Ideas?
Hi,
I had a similar "problem". If it's the same, you must create the account first (set it up, with the same name as previously, f.i. Gmail or whatever you named it), then restore with PIMBackup.
Sorted it, had to completely clear SMS boxes before hand, thanks!

I have an ATT Tilt and it's been working great. I did a backup using the sprite backup. Now, I am not sure that had anything to do with it but my email shortcuts on my today screen disappeared and my text messaging will no longer work. When I open my start programs folder, they are both gone, I seem to have magically lost my text messaging icon and my messaging icon. I still have the htc plug in on my today screen but when I click on my text messenger icon it highlights the icon but never loads, just sits there. I cannot access my gmail or my road runner email; hell, I can't even find them anywhere on the device. Does anyone know what the heck is going on? I have searched high and low for any info and have found nada. I was thinking that maybe ATT or HTC would provide a listing of software on the rom and the file names so I could maybe try "re-installing" but again, screwed. nothing out there. I have used resco explorer and searched every inch of the tilt phone but without a listing of software and the associated filename it's freaking ridiculous. Please, if anyone has any info, no matter how small, please post; I will post a detailed fix if one is ever found.
Many Thanks,
Jasper
I have exactly the same problem . I have also run Sprite Backup but I dont think it coincided with losing messaging.
I removed some programs just before the problem but I cant remember what I removed as I was just having a tidy up.
I think I'm going to do a hard reset which should restore the messaging. Please let me know if you solved problem.

OK, this is freaky. I was just going to start this same thread.
I lost my entire messaging application last week. I think it happened after I uninstalled a bunch of apps, mostly spb apps. I tried a Sprite restore to no avail. I had to do a hard reset to get messaging back.
Just happened to me today
Along with my text messaging I also had three e-mail accounts and one e-mail sync account (to outlook). Since I can no longer get into the program, I cannot access any of the data on this device. I am running Windows Mobile 6.1 in case that helps someone come up with a solution. I will probably do a backup on my PC as well as a sprite backup and then reload the whole OS I think AT&T has a link on one of their sites to the ROM.
ive tried disabling all tasks, deleted all sms and mms, however 1 new sms is still on my front manila... what can i do? how do i fix this?
kind regards

I have the same issue. Im on Orange in the UK
Have deleted all messages...rebooted phone about 4 times.
Ok this wht u need to do backup only ur mssg using the PIM Backup software avalibale in the forums and then u restore them back with the option of deleting all the mssg in ur phone... I had the same problem when i did this it worked like a charm and I never faced the same problem again hope it works fer ya
Well, there's something silly that you may not have thought of.
Go to the messages tab, and press "All Messages", and then, if you see some messages whivh have title written in bold, read them by clicking on them.
Works with me, maybe your problem is different.
Well i tried the PIM backup, and i tried deleting all sms, mms, mails, manually... my message tab still says 1 message, but the message window says no messages....
Other suggestions?

Hi everyone, i hope this hasnt been resovled before, but i did a few searches and came up blank.
Ive had my TyTn II for quite a while now, and managed to rock up 48000 SMS on it, which stuffed up the memory, making me do a hard reset. But now i have a different problem.
I tried to delete all my SMS, which was about 14000, as i didnt want a repeat of what happened last time, but after a long tiime the SMS appeared to delete, so i did a soft reset, and about 6900 SMS remain, all in sent items. i tried again, and the same thing occoured. also once after resetting the SMSes that i sent/recieved the past day dissapeared.
Has anyone expierenced a problem like this? i think its a corrupt SMS in the Data files somewhere, but i really dont want to fish out a particular one, or hard reset my phone again.
And FYI im running the stock 6.1 TyTn II AUS ROM (Rom version 3.29.710 WWE)
Thankyou for your help
not completely sure whats going on but i have a suggestion worth trying out...
assuming your requirement is to keep a clean house with a minimum number of text items in your inbox and sent items, i imagine you would like to archive those messages (as opposed to simply deleting them) as a bonus.
search for "pimbackup" here on xda and download it and install it to your device. pimbackup has two kinds of backup operations:
1. backup and keep existing items
2. backup and REMOVE the backed up items
try option 2...this way, you will have an archive of all those text messages and you can let pimbackup handle the mass delete operation...who knows, maybe it will "stick" better than a manual mass deletion.
good luck!
i thought when u delete messages it just goes to the deleted folder not really off the phone go to that folder in messaging and delete them from there or from the pc.
Yes, but the default limit for deleted items is 50 messages. then it starts rolling them off and deleting...
So I decided to try flash another ROM, and this time I thought I'd try backing up my personal data using the Microsoft My Phone service, just to see how it works. As well as that, I made a complete backup of my phone using SPB backup.
The ROM flashing over, I attempted to restore my old sms messages to the phone from the server, and the My Phone application DID appear to download them. However, upon checking my inbox (as well as every single other mail folder), I found nothing. Delving a little deeper, I was able to find a couple of pre-ROM-flashing messages using the phone's built-in search function; when installing My Phone, I let microsoft text me the link, and a search for 'my phone' illicited the old text message. However, the search function does not allow for me to trace messages back to their location, and this message (even after being opened) did not appear in the sms inbox.
I haven't lost anything because of my other backup, but if possible I would like to find all of these loose messages floating about somewhere in the memory banks of my Xperia. It would be nice if Microsoft got it half right, like normal. Does anybody have an idea where to start?
Ok, I have lurked threw every post I can find on here and haven't found a fix yet. I did the tethered update and followed the posted instructions. My phone is not rooted btw. Anyways, I did the update and everything seemed to work fine until I got a phone call. My contacts are not showing up when someone calls, but they do when I receive texts. I tried the FutureDial thing and tried to import my contacts and it didn't pull anything except for my number even tho it still has all my contacts showing in the contacts. I did a factory reset and its still having the problem, and the contacts are still listed. I'm going to try to reinstall the update and see if that helps. But after this I am all out of ideas. I am sure I'm not the only one with this problem. Has anyone figured out how to fix this?

Hey man. There is already a thread on this issue. Please don't start new threads about topics that already have a thread. We don't need a bunch of multiple posts about the same thing. Maybe mod could move this or delete???
All you Have to do to get all of your contacts back is wipe your phone by doing a factory reset and themn run MyBackup and it should recover all of your contacts.
***No contact list***
Once I updated to 2.2 from 1.6, my unrooted ZIO worked great, but my contact list only showed a few contacts which I had deleted a long time ago. None of my current contacts showed up. However, the text messages, all had the names, and you could access the contact's info from the messages, same for the call list. I tried everything to get the list to show, but backup would not add any contacts, as they were clearly somewhere on the phone already. What I wound up doing that worked, was I copied all of my files (including contacts file) from the SD card onto my pc, then formatted the SD. Then I did the factory reset on the phone. Then I recopied the previous SD contents back to the Sd, but only the contact file, music, pics, etc. Nothing that looked like it was for the operations on the phone. Then I brought up the empty contact list on my factory fresh looking phone, and imported the contacts. Finally. Even Cricket could not help me with this, and just opened a ticket on it. Hope it helps.
My contacts just take the first ring before the name shows up. Try letting it rung a little longer maybe once or twice. Contacts should show up. Btw. All my contacts were synchronized with gmail not mybackup. Who still uses mybackup on android rofl!
Option94 is right. There is a stick in general for KNOWN ISSUES.
