sms back up

Hi !
what do i need to back up all my sms to pc?
Activesync doesn't syncronyse them into outlook... =(
full back up is not a way to save them too, as I need to save only them without other info.
and is there a way to read them on pc?
as I understand they are in windows\messaging folder on ppc, but I need some program to read them I believe..

check this one...Personal Mobile Vault http://www.1800message.com/
interesting for me....

thanks, I'll try it
actually i was mistaken when said that i can't read files from windows\messaging folder of ppc.
they are plain text - but there are a lot of empty files - much more than files with text - i think that are remainings from deleted sms.
i made full back up and then did hard reset.
I tried to restore back up - butsome fileswere not restored - as it said files werelocked by some application. but i had no progamms running...
most of that files were just some system files which i don't need. but what is bad - my contacts didn't syncronise =(((
anybody knows what can help?

and I even can't synchronyse by ActiveSync - when i connect my ppc - it shows "Syncranisation error" and all that I can do is exploring device..
If I lost my 500+ phone it's very terrible thing...
can anyone help?
all numbers are stored in outlook - but how can I copy them to ppc?
manully it'll take so long time!!!... =(

well...I found the solution - I hard reseted ppc, than syncronysed it with pc and only after that restored full back up - in that way all contacts are again on their place, and syncronization works now...
anyway I just flashed new rom with fixed cam and with my own ext_rom for russia...=)
thanks PUG
everything seems to work now...exept some *.dll's don't restore from backup, along with contacts...=|
and one more thing I want to know - is there any list what .CAB files in ext_rom are for? I found almost nothing using search - and it was about xdaII not IIi....

Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook is your answer
Hiya,
If you are using outlook than you'll want use Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook http://www.jeyo.com/extender.asp. It works via activesync. It creates a folder in your .pst and from there you can completely control your sms on your mobile. You can send and receive sms to your pc while the XDA is cradled (or wifi activesync), backup sms from the XDA to pc or vice versa... well worth it! I've been using it for months - since I had a problem like yours.

Before I last did a hard reset, I used smsBackup. It's freeware, it involves a little manual shuffling of files around, but it worked great for me in saving all of my SMSes (although for some reason I made a mistake and it saved everything twice, but hey no big deal).

Guys, guys, guys!!!
smsBackup is NOT freeware! I downloaded a lot of versions (with crack) and none of them worked after installation!
For me only 2.41 from the producer's website is working, but I can't find any crack...
Any help would be highly appreciated!

I am glad to read it here.

Text messages and flashing

Is there anyway at all to backup text message, upgrade your phone and then put them back onto the device when it's updated? I've had a look through a lot of the files but can't seem to find any text messages, just email messages
I have found Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook. However, when I start Outlook 2003 it comes up saying the Add-in has fired an error. I think this is because I run Win Vista though.
If Jeyo really is the only/best way to do it, I'll probably just bung in an old HDD, install XP FLP on it and do everything on there inc. the upgrade, unless there is another way?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=59169&highlight= have a look there. Sorry I can't help more.

i'd like to ask, is it safe to assume that these messages are all under windows>messaging, and that we can copy these files to our computer through activesync, and put them back after the upgrade?
will our BA be able to read them as text messages?

Thats the location of the email files yes. I'm not sure if just replacing them will work though, that why I'm probably going for the Jeyo software (and it also does SMS which I what I need).

For me, I use Jeyo Mobile Companion 1.1 for backup my call history & sms. (the stand alone version Not the outlook plug-in, cos in my device the plug-in version is not stable)
backup:
Export >> All (or selection)
restore:
Import >> All (or selection)

Jeyo not syncing with my Kaiser :-(

Hi every1,
Ive been reading around all the faqs and forum posts and have decided to flash my rom from my t-mobile uk one to one of the cooked roms.
Howevere before I do this I wanted to backing my sms/mms messages. After much research I decided to get Jeyo Mobile Extender which I will pay for if and when I get it fully functional.
The Jeyo system tray icon is present, and the phone is fully synced and connected. No problem so far. This verified by me sending an sms it working and recieving one a notification appears near the taskbar with the sms and its details (contents, date, sender...etc).
All good so far, however in the folders it doesnt actually download any messages. Automatically or on demand (by selecting download messages now). It does however when select "mange my sms on my device" bring all the sms up but again when clicking download sms fails. I checked the setting and it is set to sync messages in inbox.
Ive tried installing, reinstalling, ensuring SMSExpress.exe is on and says its connected (on my device), restarting, soft reset and disabling firewall. No joy whatsoever. The inbox in SMS folder (which i believe is a .pst in mydocuments/sms) is empty.
Id be grateful for any advice. I spoke to a friend who has the MDA Vario and said he didnt have a problem using Jeyo which means it is compatible. Ive studied there forum and its little or no help and couldnt find anything on thiis forum.
Running:
Outlook 2003
Standard T-Mobile rom on Mda Vario III (WM6)
Connected Via USB and Active Sync
Windows XP SP2
Kind Regards,
Anil

Fixed, deleted all registries for outlook and jeyo, uninstalled everything and reinstalled.

Glad to here you have it fixed.
I would like to ask, what version of Outlook are you using and do you get the notification on your laptop/PC when an SMS arrives on your phone or do you have to Send/Receive SMS to drag it in?
I lost auto notification when I moved from the Hermes to the TyTynII.
Cheers.

Hi thanutz,
I also back-up my TyTN II SMS using Jeyo Mobile Extender. Now that your Jeyo's working, and you are flashing with the new WM6.1 ROM with threaded messages, may I know whether the back-up still works? Because I'm not sure how the threaded messages will translate into single lines Outlook interface. That's my only concern about updating to WM6.1. If it backs-up alright, I will upgrade to WM6.1
Thank you

the rom i flashed was duttys sual touch v4. Im pretty sure thats wm6 not 6.1 but check the threads.
Multiple message messages, i.e. sms of more than 160 characters move over to outlook fine but dont move back, they get capped at 160 characters.
By Threaded i take it u mean wm6.1 has a feature where a converstaion between 2 ppl appears as one entry in the sms folder.
Try dotfreds pim back up possibly may work....

2007 now and yes i do get a notification, but i was getting that with 2003 also. maybe try what i did.
I also removed the sms****.exe that runs in the background of the pda when hayo is connected and recopied a new version. that may cure ure problem.

Here is how to get rid of outlook e-mail from messages!

As I have been sifting through the forum I have come across several threads about people wanting to know how to get rid of outlook e-mail from messages.
The e-mail I have set up on my kaiser is the same as my outlook on my pc, so when I sync I get duplicate e-mails and have to disable the option to sync mail with pc, but this still leaves the outlook account in messages.
Well here's how to get rid of it.
First you will need a registry editor, I recommend Resco Registry editor but others will work fine.
Then you will need to make a backup of the registry key we are going to delete. So open up your registry editor and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc
Now in here you will find several folders(so to speak). These include Activesync, imap4, pop3, MMS1 and SMS.
Go into Activesync and their should be a key called "Friendly Name" this should say something like "Outlook" go back to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc then select the "Activesync" folder and use menu to export the folder as a .reg file (backup file) then select the "Activesync" folder again, but this time delete it.
Now close your reg editor and go into messages and the Outlook title should be replaced with the title Activesync. Just soft-reset your device and the Outlook mailbox including "Activesync" has now disappeared leaving just the e-mail accounts and other message accounts that you use whilst mobile.
Should you wish to restore this option just inport the .reg file you created into the registry and soft-reset and it'll be back.
Well I hope this helps. And quick thanks to all members of this forum for your continued support to the community and even helping the little guys.

Thanks! Great solution!
EDIT: Wiped out my outgoing MMS. Dropped registry backup back in and both MMS and Outlook Mail were back.

Why do you have duplicate emails? With an exchange server, your emails on device and in your pc's outlook will replicate - and without exchange they sync anyway?

What's the settings for MMS1? I don't have that in my registry.

Each of these folders represent an account within messages. So "Activesync" is "outlook" (used and updated when syncing with a pc version of outlook or using an exchange server), IMAP4 Corresponds to my (@btinternet.com/using imap), SMS is for SMS (go figure/lol), MMS1 (this can also just be MMS on some device/dependant on version of Arcsoft) POP is for my (@3mail) account and Hotmail is for hotmail (in juction with using Windows live).
So by deleting the "activesync" folder you are in effect deleting the information to display the account.
Also I deleted the imap4 folder (after making a backup of course of the reg entry) And soft-reset the device. It removed my @btinternet account with e-mails. But after i imported the .reg backup I made and soft-reset the device again the account returned with all e-mails intact and fully readable.
**Possibility for a freeware app to hide accounts that are private??? using a password to auto add/remore .reg to access accounts or maybe not. **
Thanks trying to bring something to those who have helped me... Thanks

Hi unwired, The reason I get duplicates is because I don't actually use an exchange server. I have my @btinternet.com account set up on both my home Supreme Pc, My laptop and my Kaiser. But when I used to cradle my kaiser with my pc (mainly for appointments) to update it used to download my e-mails from outlook on my pc to my kaiser. So in the outlook account on my kaiser would be all the e-mails from my pc version of outlook, then in my @btinternet.com account were the same e-mails that I collected whilst I was mobile.
So I needed access to my @btinternet account whilst mobile but in the outlook folder that wqould not let me sync so then i had to set up the other.
So i stopped it syncing with outlook messages on the pc and then decided to try and get rid of the outlook account, which is what i then proceeded to do!
Ok i am going to stop now before i start going round in circles..
But thanks for the question..

Your welcome mate. To be honest I think it was your comment about it I came accross the other day on the forum, which is one of the reasons I decided to post it. I'll try and help more if I can. I've just setup talking dial tones. so when I dial a number it says the number rather than beep. Thanks to grumps for the tones!! I think he's compiling an app to do this easier. But i couldn't wait and so set it up via the registry...
Oh www.htcclassaction.org reports we could have proper display drivers by the end of march!! So fingers crossed our Kaiser will fullfil their legacy!!

I don't have that registry file (obviously). I have the Shogun's Palm SMS threading program installed and lost my MMS'. The fix to install the Arcsoft composer and run an enablemms.cab never worked for me. I wonder if this is what it's trying to fix.

Yeah, sounds like it. If you post that .cab here. I'll take a look for you mate and see what I can come up with over the next week. Failing that I can take my .reg setting for the mms and possibly create a link to the default messaging app.
However my best mate has an o2 xda orbit and I installed WM6 on it but there is no 6.1 yet and he wanted threaded sms. So i installed Shogun's Palm sms. Now when he opens that app he does not have mms, however when I linked to the default messaging app that still contained his mms account and all the mms I sent him were waiting there for him.
So try this out and if you need my help just ask. You can PM me for my e-mail address if you want to send the .cab direct or ask for any other help. I am at work tomorrow(or should I say today) and am on a sleep over so i will check my pm but it'll be from my Kaiser.
Hope I could help..

I have used a .cab analyser on the enablemms.cab and it contains no registry entries at all (none will be added or removed(except for unistall info and platform.reg which I believe is more to do with os at a guess))
and contains these files:
CeSetup.dll in the \Program Files\Tools Folder
checkfile.exe in the windows folder
Platformxxx.reg in the windows folder
CM_Entries.xml in the windows folder
And
Customize.lst in the \Program Files\Tools folder
Let me know how you get on..

hi there again...
the trick works great, but I think, that I have a small problem in here.
after applying Your trick on my stock t-mob uk vario III everything went fine except loosing sound for new sms. even if I have ticked in my options to play sound and show message I can't hear or see any notification. only sign of new message is number of new messages in the middle of htc home plugin.
now.. I made a backup of that key before deletion, but...
I've deleted it.. '(-_-)
any chance for You to post that .reg file for me mate?? or if You have some other solution, then I would be more than happy to avoid hard reset.

No worries mate, I still have sound on my sms notifications although I did have to deselect play sound in sound and notifications and reset then re-select the play sound option. And it worked for me but I have a stock htc tytn II. I am at work on my kaiser at the moment and the browser won't let me add an attachment, so when I get my laptop out at 6 i'll post the .reg entry. Fancy deleting it !! lol.. Check back around 6.30. It'll def be on tonight pal..

Thanks for the update diigibio. I appreciate any help. How did you link your friend's phone to the default MMS messaging app? Or would it help if I tried to reapply registry settings?

The default messaging application remains untouched, especially when installing third party replacements such as SMS threading (IMSMS, Palm, Textr and so on). The default link goes to \Windows\tmail.exe.
The quickest way to do this is by using Resco File Manager. click on the tmail.exe and hold until (right-click) menu appears and click "send to" then choose "Start Menu as Shortcut".
Once this is done you can access it via the start menu or use the button app to map it to a button or use with a today screen plugin (spb etc) As when you install the third party app it either replaces the original shortcut with its own or alters the original link to point to the third party app.
Hope this is of some help...

Thanks! worked great for me on WM 6.1 I didn't see the active sync option before the restart either.

SMS Outlook

Guys anyone know if it's possible to sync sms with Outlook on the pc and view them just as you would with an email?
Ta

Jeyo Mobile Extender does exactly this. I tried it but I wasn't very happy with how well it worked.

Why, did it not function correctly?

It didn't seem to show all messages that were on the phone, just some of them. I went back to using Mymobiler to work directly with the phone instead.

Does that allow you to copy message to the pc?
