Hi All,
I am considering upgrade from 1.6.7.1 to 2.16.9.101. The only think that still hold me is backup of my sms messages.
My question is - Is there are way to back up sms messages without any backup SW (e.g. spbBack etc.)?
I know from Outlook that it holds all its mails in single file, which I can just copy to DVD and after fresh install import. I suspect that it should be the case with Pocket Outlook as well. And as long as SMS are part of Pockect Outlook, they should be kept in the same file. Where is that file and can I replace it after new ROM installation?
Thanks in advance
helo there, brother.. am here with a solution for ur problem and yet, another question aswel..
u can use jeyo mobile companion 1.1 to backup all ur sms's.. i use this to backup my sms if i hardreset my fone or reflash my rom.. really useful software.. hope this helps..
now heres my question, jeyo mobile companion doesnt allow me to back up sms's in folders, ie, i have a specific folder in my inbox for the sms my girlfriend sends me.. but wen i do the backup with jeyo mobile companion, it does not backup the msgs in the folder.. i'l hav to move the msgs to the inbox folder b4 i backup and after i restore them, i hav to move them bak to folders.. so i wud like to kno an application that would backup sms and folders as well.. thanx in advance
Well,
Your proposal is solution, however not exactly into the direction I am looking for... jeyo usage means that I have to use third party SW to backup my SMS messages and restore them afterwards.
So let me repeat what I want to do:
1. Take from my PPC file where all my SMS are stored (using file explorer and Active Sync);
2. Save this file to my laptop;
3. Flash ROM;
4. Replace new, empty file created by fresh Pocket Outlook on PPC with mine.
If somebody can tell me how to perform that sequence it will be really appreciated,
Thanks in advance
I guess they are in the root of the mobile device.. one of those .vol files maybe? You could try these files. (After you've secured your sms-messages with a third-party program of course - as a temporary solution)
Yes, I thought the same. Unfortunately I am not able to copy any of those files (cemail for instance). I have got the message "Cannot copy "cemail". There has been sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use."
I suspect that this file is already locked by some system applications running. Any ideas are welcomed,
Regards

With spb backup you can backup only your contacts, E-mail and SMS messages if you want to, works great. I have mine backing these up every night in case of crash.
I found if you use the file explorer in the mda to copy everything to a mini sd card you overcome the "sharing violation" error.
Hello,
incredible but true, on my P3600 "Messages" would not run any more.
I cannot access the whole Messages software (inbox, draft,...): no sign of life clicking on the icon (the envelope), neither from Start->Programs->Messages nor from SPB Phone Suite.
Calendar and Notes in Pocket Outlook continue working well.
So now I cannot access to email nor SMS.
When I send an SMS from another mobile to my P3600, I see the P3600 screen becoming active (only the brightness) but no notify message appears. It seems that the Messages software doesn't load in memory any more even if I click the "tmail.exe" file in file Explorer
I am using WM5 (with official ROM) and in last days I have upgraded Pocket Plus to 4.0.1; I also use other SPB software as Phone Suite (1.1.1), Weather, ...
Unfortunately there are no changes removing Pocket Plus
Anyone faced a problem like this?
Thank you
Are you storing attachments on the miniSD?
Yes
the SD (Sandisk 2GB) seems to work
do you know how to modify the settings? I couldn't reach them because they're in Messages.
thank you
I'm not sure if that's the cause of your problem, but my Mail directory got corrupted once and messaging refused to start, like it happens to you. Try to rename the directory to Mail_ so that messaging recreates the dir again. You can change the attachment storage location on the messaging options.
thank you Apoc,
anyway yesterday evening I made an hard reset. I have tried to install a backup but the problem arose again so I decided to re-install all without backup.
I take your advice for the next time...because re-installing all I had on my P3600 there is a chance to face the same problem soon
thank you, really
I have same problom...
Please help

This worked for me. Thanks!!
Did you store the messages' attachment on SD?
if you haven't fix the problem with mailaccountrepair, you could try formatting the miniSD (first copy all the files on your PC).
I have read this advise on another forum
It seems that it could be a problem of corruption of the attachment stored on SD.

I try to make a list of action from the Apoc's advice:
1. Using file explorer, rename the directory (probably on your SD) where Messages store the attachments (from "Mail..." to another name)
2. soft-reset
3. try to access Messages again (the envelope icon in Programs)
4. if Massages opens, it will create a new directory named "Mail..." in which the attachments will be stored, but you will not have the old attachments in Messages
Then you could try to copy the files that are the dir you have renamed to the dir that Messages has just created
if Messages doesn't open, try mailaccountrepair (as written by emay) or hard-reset (as I did)
I change the windows of my PC and the new connection of my HTC delete all m contacts.
How can I find my old contacts ??
Please HELP ME !!!
Hi,all the time you must backup your files in your pda,spb backup for programs and Pimbackup for contacts ...
Thanks but PIM backup work when you use it to save your pim informations.
I don't use before and the PIM Backup doesn't find the last pim informations ...
Another solution ?
would recommend you strongly to open an account in my.funambol.com and install their WM application, extremely easy & useful for backup...
I will this solution. I have try other but without succes ....
OP, I'm not quite sure about your complaints about the functioning of PIM Backup, but it works extremely well for me. Just make sure you back up to your storage card and not your device memory, as a hard reset will wipe all added on information from your device memory.
I have an Exchange account with 1and1. It syncs all of my contacts/calendar/tasks/mail.
Whenever I port to a new ROM, I just double check that my photos/video/docs are on my MicroSD card, and flash away! Then on the new ROM, I just point to my exchange account again, and I'll be right back where I was in minutes.
Definitely work the small $
I think I forgot my contact forever ...
I don't use before a Pim backup and WM6 and Activesync don't propose a backup ... I use PDA during the last 6 year and it was the first time thaqt I lose my contacts ...
Next time I install a Pim backup program ...

Hi
I want to transfer the SMS's text messages on my HTC Touch to my HTC Diamond. I have look on various forums and tried various software OEExporter & SMSexporter but no luck.
HTC's website says 'It can't be done at the moment' but is it possible & how?
Please if can anybody help!
Try to save your cemail.vol on Touch and restore it on Diamond
To save your cemail.vol on Touch, try to move temporarely your .vol on internal storage (see my post on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411087) and for restore on Diamond, try to do the same before copy it
Just delete or rename the registry key to "restore" the original location
Good Luck

Just use PimBackup 2.8 from this site. Export the sms on your touch and import them on the diamond.
TDO
Be carreful, Pimbackup just export SMS, not MMS (pb with attachement)
But Pimbackup is the best solution to do this
To restore attachement with "my method", just restore Windows\Attachment and My Documents\UA Caontent directories (from Touch to Diamond)

Hi,
I've successfully used the mentioned reg key, to move the DbPath to another location or file name. Than I've copied back a cemail.vol to the original location. However, it never shows the SMS in my old cemail.vol.
Reason is:
I've made an ROM upgrade from original (slow) T-Mobile ROM to the latest Dutty, posted here in the forum.
I've made a backup of the device before that using SPB. It created an .exe backup and I've extracted the cemail.vol out of it.
I'm deadly missing my old SMS that should be stored in the cemail.vol, right?
Can someone help me to retrieve all those SMS from my cemail.vol (if it's in there?)
Thanks a lot guys - I've been trying since two days now
Regards,
J
i recommend using Jeyo Mobile companion, PimBackup didn't seem to save my threading on the SMS
And it also does contacts, emails etc etc
I m planning to flash the phone and install 6.5 but i couldnt find any program saving the sms on memory card...
I searched on forums or on internet for hours but no result...
So i ll be glad if anyone could suggest this kind of program for X1
My Activesync keep giving me error so i cant copy through there
Use ms myphone, and sync everything with server.
I cant get the phone connected to computer thgourh synch it...
i can move files etc but windows mobile program keeps giving me error...
PIM Backup
Hi Calel3,
Most ROM's have PIM backup software cooked into them. Just dl, install and choose to backup your SMS only. Once flashed you can then just open the backup file through the PIM software and restore.......works every time
Hope this helps,
Creamy
