Completly Wiping SMS -> Phone Restart -> SMS returns - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

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...

Text inbox deleted on soft reset after AKU2 update

Hi
this is my first post, so sorry if i say anything stupid
I have had a long look for topics covering this problem, but can't find any, if it has been covered already would someone please point me in the right direction.
I have just updated my O2 Mini S to the latest O2 rom. Before the update in an attempt to save my text messages i copied the file "Messaging" from My Device/Windows to my storage card.
After finishing the update i copied it back into place, overwriting the (now empty) Messaging folder.
However, none of my old messages are shown in the text inbox, and all the new texts i get are lost after a soft reset.
I thought i must have done something silly with the copying across of my old Messaging folder so i did a hard reset and started again, leaving the messaging folder well alone this time, but still all inbox messages are lost as soon as i soft reset (which is something i need to do alot with this phone).
Is there a way to stop this?
Update: I have checked the messaging folder and the texts i've received after my hard-reset are still there after the soft reset, but the text inbox doesn't seem to detect them. Same applies to Hotmail inbox, i received lots of emails and the messaging folder now has over 30 items in it, but after a soft reset they are not shown in my inbox :?
Thanks for any help

Tilt programs disappearing and/or not responding!

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.

No Messaging - Help Required

Has anyone had this problem MDA Vario III?
I cannot access any of my messaging services, not even read previous messages that are in my email and sms/mms inbox's. My friend sent me a text and although it has gone through at his end it hasn't shown up on my phone.
I have taken the phone back to factory settings, removed pocketcm and at least can now access my contacts (pocketcm would open and then close within a few seconds).
For me this is my worst case scenario as the messaging module is more important to me than the phone.
Anyone got and suggestions how to sort this
Oh Well, No Joy So Hard Reset
Problem solved...
Now have to reinstall all my stuff fortunately I keep all the cabs on the Storage card with the folder name CABS, re-sync and it will be back to new. Would be useful to know if anyone else has had the same problem though

Text messages are missing in inbox but received in "hidden" folder

Well, I am currently having the following problem. I think it started after using MTTY and upgraded my stock 2.03 NL ROM to Gen.Y R3. I received several complaints from friends that they sent text messages and that I did not respond. The text messages didn't appear in my inbox, so I was very curious if what happened then.
I found out in the Gen.Y thread that user tomoffel had the same issue. He also had a solution for this issue: Don't use PIMbackup but MyPhone from Microsoft. The text messages where visible with a program called SKTools, option databases and folder "fldr32000023". I therefore hard-reset my device, flashed the new R4.1 ROM from Gen.Y and synced my device with MyPhone. Unfortunately the issue still existed, it worked fine for about 3 messages and the 4th one disappeared in the hidden folder fldr32000023.
The things I have tried/investigated:
- Folder fldr32000023 doesn't exist after hard-reset but is created after receiving first text message. The fldr32000023 is stored in cemail.vol
- With SKTools I can not delete the folder fldr32000023, I can only make it empty
- Hard reset won't help
- Used about 4 different ROMs except stock, all having the same issue
Only thing I can try is flashing original ROM again, I don't have any other option left. Or is there anyone who knows what to do?
Thanks!
thats one of the poutlook databse folders, its hidden cuz its a system folder and should be there, so it just proves that your device has received the msgs, maybe its a hardware problem
I don't know if it is a hardware problem, tonight i will try the stock ROM again with hard-reset. If this still doesn't solve the issue I think i'm going to send it back to HTC or something..

Deleted SMS Reappears After Soft Reset - Please Help - GOT THE SOLUTION

Hello friends,
I have this peculiar problem, when i delete sms/ smses and also delete them from deleted folder, and then soft reset the device (both from the hard button or from soft reset button) deleted sms reppears in the inbox again.
I have currently 6000+ sms and wants to delete many sms from it but they reppear after soft reset.
I have also selected below options in menu>tools>options>storage>empty delted items
1) immediately
2) Mannually
3) on connect / disconnect
but nothing works,
Friends kindly help into this.
Regards,
Vishal
Friends please help
Friends got the solution by myself
Here is what i tried
1) Before deleting smses my device (main) memory was just 2.6 mb free, i cleaned up / deleted unwanted files from my device memory and brought it to 12 mb free
2) After that i deleted the smses that i wanted to delete and
3) VOILA after soft reset, none of the smses reappears
Cheers,
Vishal
You are a genius!
I've been having the same problem for a month and a half now. Messages would keep reverting back to the "magic" date of 9/8/10. But I also had the same memory problem, maybe 3mb or so free and again 6000+ texts. My hotmail account would also resurrect emails back to 9/8 after every soft reset. I've looked on these forums and a lot of people were saying go with a hard reset. Well, I have to much apps/settings on my phone to just do that willingly. So I tried what you said. I also tried removing Windows/Messaging before a soft reset. After reset, texts stayed gone, but hotmail account went back to 9/8/10 (and before) emails. But I noticed I now had like 35mb free of memory, so I tried deleting all the hotmail emails and went for another soft reset. And they were gone after reset! So removing the messaging folder may have worked, but I think it was being able to delete the messages(emails) with enough memory to I guess, fully "temporarily store and erase" within the memory. Thanks!
