Hi all
Got my topaz phone just yesterday, it is magnificent!
But I am upgrading from a Eten X500+ phone, after I tried to restore messages from my old phone to the new one, the new one now cannot record any new sent messages.
In my opinion, this can be the backup program... I used spb backup. I may doing something with the file attributes in order to make it record sent messages again. But which file?
My x500+ is already dead so I have no way going back and do the backup again, unfortunately
Please advice
Thanks
Unfortunately it looks like SPB Backup might be the problem. The eten was Windows Mobile 5 I believe? And the Diamond 2 is 6.1, so there may have been differences between folder locations / formats between the two. My understanding is that SPB Backup makes an exact copy of the database from the old phone and dumps it on the new phone. Perhaps thats where the problem lies.
I routinely use PIM Backup to save and restore text messages from one phone to another, or in the case of flashing a new ROM. I'd recommend using it in future as it extracts the individual messages in their particular folders and transplants them perfectly in the new phone. For now I think you'll just have to abandon the sent messages.
thanks for your reply.
another question, my phone showed only one of maybe 10 messages on the SIM card. Those messages where copied from my temporary cell phone last week and i would love to see my TD2 showing them. Any ideas?
try to sync your messages, contacts etc.. with microsoft's myphone. It worked fine for me

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.
Hi guys.
well my issue is that i have 2 phones which i both use, an diamond and an iphone.
my question, is there any chance to save the sms from the diamond and put them into the iphone?????
there are tons of program to backup the sms's on a wm device you can use search to find them
problem is that iphone is a pretty closed system never even heard of a program which can backup and restore it's own sms's so
getting a program which can restore sms's from any of those formats
the various wm sms backup programs use is even less likely
but if i were you i'd google around to see if i could find a iphone sms restore program
and see if i got some hits on programs which would restore other sources then
the ones backup from the iphone
damn i really need this, i need my messages
any ideas?
Hi all,
I have Tilt and I am very fond of messaging.
I was having a conversation through SMS with a frnd and when i was replying to one of his SMSs, all of a sudden hung a lil bit and all the SMS of his has gone.
Then later i checked, some people and sites who are regular with their SMS (3-5 SMS in day), those SMS are also gone but not the complete thread is being deleted.
I am not able to understand the pattern.
Is it like that each thread can contain only a specific number of SMSs.
And earlier i thought this might be a problem with my handset or s/w, but today one of my frnd who uses HTC 3400, had the same prob.
Kindly help. I had more than 1000 SMS in it.
Softwares installed:
SPB Pocket mobile shell 3
kaiser tweak
google maps
web cam plus

while you are looking for a solution, i suggest you backup all your text messages using "pim backup"...search for it on xda
this way, you will have a backup that you can restore in case the situation gets worse and your device starts "forgetting" even more text messages
Yes, i am encounter the same problem too, where my sms been deleted automatically after soft reset my phone. Why it can be happen? any way to solve this?
Phone: Dopod 810
OS : WM6.0

thanx buddy for the suggestion, but i believe ,anyones fate would not have fallen pathetically sick as mine. I had all the backups, but my hard disk also crashed.
anyways ..... still looking for a solution ... i believe theres a hidden bug in WM6.0 n 6.1
But it is hard to believe that no one till date has not escalated this issue.
Hope to find a resolution for it.
Cheers !!! (Hope if WM allowed us to)
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...
I backed up my contacts, call history and text with sprite.
When I restore everything looks great BUT when I make a call the call shows up as "unknown" and all new history (and text) show up as the number and doesn't reference the contacts database.
Anyone know how to fix this... this is the second rom I've had this issue on.
I'm sure the answer is out there and I have searched... just such an odd thing to try and figure out keywords to form an effective query.
I also faced the similar issue.
There will be contacts list but it will not match when i make the call.
My assumption is do not install the backup.exe file directly first install the sprite backup cab file. then ren the backup.
It has worked for me. try to install the same version of the cab in which the backup is taken
Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately, that didn't work.
I ended up using a pimbackup for the contacts (which would lock up importing my text) so I used Sprite for my text. Dirty but it worked.
Also, Sprite back up does not work from WM version to version. You cannot do a system back up in 6.0 and restore in 6.1 or 6.1 to 6.5.
THAT must be the problem!
Thanks for that info... luckily I backed it up several ways.
I would recommend trying SPB Backup. Works well for me, far better results than Sprite. Also 3G backup for contacts & sms is a useful tool.
