SMS problem - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Everytime I go on the SMS section of Messaging, my phone always freezes. I can't send or receive texts. What should I do?
P.S. I am using the stock WM 6.1 ROM.

I would use pim backup to back everything up and then I think you can do a soft reset to erase all of the msgs.

Install Microsoft Myphone (www.myphone.microsoft.com); backup everything, hard reset and see if it work. You may just have too many messages

Restore Back Up after Upgrade to WM5

Can I Restore My Back Up After I Upgraded to WM5
The Back Up Was Taken By ActiveSync While I Was Using WM03ce i think
only contacts, mail, calendar, favorites, tasks, notes
but I am not so shure about it, but you can try
Well you can't restore or backup data in the version of Active sync you need to use for WM5.
But when i made a back up it made a back up of everything in 1 files that system files contacts etc everything.....
and actie cync 4 for wm5 can back up and restore
Sorry it is just 4.2 can't.
I don't think you should restore it as is may do some damage to your device.
thanx ppcnut and i am sorry u were right as always i cant anyway
Thats fine always pleased to help.

SMS stuck in Outbox and resend

I have a SMS stuck in my Outbox on my Tilt from 2/25/08 and it keeps resending every few hours to the receipient. I've tried deleting and moving it, but no go. I've soft-reset several times. I did a search and found a few other people in the past reporting it, but no resolution.
I am running the updated AT&T ROM. I do have HardSPL installed from a previous flash to Dutty's ROM between AT&T Roms.
ROM 1.62.502.0
Radio 1.27.14.09
How can I get rid of it without doing a hard reset? Everything else works fine.
Ive fixed this problem on a Mio 701 before by doing a full backup (with SPB backup) hard resetting and then restoring the backup minus the PIM stuff, then resync from PC.
It's the only way I could get rid of it.

Is the WM 6.1 Update worth it ?

I have a german Kaiser here, removed simlock with the tools from this site.
2 Questions:
After Updating to WM 6.1, will the simlock be still gone, or do I have to unlock the phone again.
Is the update worth it ? Htc tells on their site, that all stored data will be lost (ok i have to do a backup), but will WM 6.1 bring so much improvements that i should take the work ?

Not sure about the Stock HTC ROM, but I am using The Lone Ranger's (TLR 6.1) and love it.. I would do it. BTW the sprite backup will not restore a 6.0 ROM to 6.1 ROM.
So there is no way to backup my data first and restore it to 6.1 ? Then i wont do it, too much calender entrys, contacts, etc. installed.
Edit: Sprite Backup Homepage says that it is possible to restore after a rom upgrade:
http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/answer.aspx?id=349&back=search.aspx?
i don't think i've seen anywhere that someone has succesfully restored a back up after upgrading, spb back up has a force restore after rom upgrade but i've never tried it personally, for me i would rather start clean and not risk any file corruption or problems right from the start.
I used a freeware app called PPC Pim Backup, it dosen't update your settings or files like Sprite Backup does, but it does backup all of your contacts, text messages, appointments, just about everything that would sync with outlook and a few things that don't.
I was able to use a backup created when my Tilt was at Wm 6.0 and successfully restore it to after I had reflashed my phone to WM 6.1.
The only downside was the first time I opened my inbox, I had to wait about 10-15 minutes or so for WM 6.1 to thread every single text message I had ever receieved or sent, but after that it worked fine.
Thanks for the tip with pim backup. worked great and the simlock is still gone after the update.
I wish I wouldve known about pim backup before I updated. anybody have a link to the 6.0 rom, so I can go back and start over?

Yes it does, I have restored all my contacts. mails, texts and diary when I went from WM6.0 to WM6.1 using Sprite backup, with no fuss at all.

Weird, mine gave me a black screen, then froze up, you must've been lucky, or something.

No, I only restored the data and no other files. if you restore anything else your asking for trouble

How would you restore just data files?
sounds like he only restored files that sync, not reg hacks or system files, settings.
I'm new to this, but I ran Sprite backup on Q-Mobile 1.2, intending to upgrade to a WM 6.1 ROM. I tried a couple of WM 6.1 ROMs (Romeos 4.5.3, Garmin DK.3 Final, Dutty's NO4, and Virtual Vista 2.10), and was able to get my SMS messages, contacts and all that good stuff, but was unable to get my MMS messages.
Since I don't really know what I'm doing, I didn't poke around too much, but when I reloaded the Q-Mobile ROM back on, and ran the Sprite restore program, all of my SMS and MMS messages showed back up. I suppose it has something to do with the SMS/MMS directory structure in the WM 6.1 ROMs that I was trying out, but don't really know.
Just my .02. If someone knows what's going on, I'd be very appreciative if they could clue me in. Thanks
So is everyone talking about the AT&T WM6.1 ROM update from HTC from here:
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=2&dl_id=94
If so, has anyone had any issues with it with how it works? Any issues with the radio, etc? I downloaded but have not upgraded my Tilt yet.
Thanks

Does PIM Backup back up texts generated with the stock 6.1 threaded-text app?
Sounds like a handy little util if so.
I suggest SPB backup. It is available from their website and the trial version has five free runs of backup.
I used it and restored all reg edits, dta, programs, mail, three email a/c's, contacts et al. It would freeze up and not restore *anything* at all the first few times but then I unchecked the 'stop all processes prior to backing up' in the advanced menu dialog before proceeding with the backup and it did the job.
I recommend creating a stand alone restorer so that you don't have to install SPB backup again on the 6.1 rom.
I went from a stock 6.0 unbranded to a stock 6.1 off the HTC website. Waiting on my warranty to legally expire in Feb before I start flashing my phone to other roms.

If it's just calendar and contacts that you are worried about, surely after you synchronize with a laptop or desktop those details will be stored with ms outlook.
So after you do an upgrade, if you synchronize your phone again with laptop/desktop you will get those contacts and calendar entries back again.
Programs and files installed is another story.
hookup activesync, transfer /root/pim.vol to your desktop..
install 6.1 rom..
boot into windows.. rename the current pim.vol (on your phone) to pim1.vol. Transfer the old pim.vol that you saved on your desktop onto your phone.
Reboot to phone to reveal all your contacts and call history restored.. simple and easy.
delete pim1.vol from your phone and bam your done!
YES, the official windows mobile 6.1 kaiser update is very worth updating IMO. Video drivers are much better.. switch views is easy.. moving around is much faster.
JEC
So I am taking it that this upgrade is worth the time to do then? Sounds like stability is better with this upgrade. Hopefully no other issues involved with it. I am still running the stock ROM from AT&T on my phone that came with it with WM6.0.
So upgrade would be good with this then?
Thanks

What is the fastest rom?

cannot restore PIM after official rom upgrade

I upgraded my wife's Diamond ROM from the official HTC site.
I had backed up her PIM using PPCbackup before the upgrade. Now after the upgrade it closes before finishing the restore. Saying there was an error "We're Sorry".
Whats going on?
Thanks
try a hard reset after the rom update
it helped, at least when I did the rom update from 1.37 to 1.93
Thanks.
Ok it eventually restored but I had to do it individually. Meaning restored tasks, contacts, sms, appointments and so on individually. The error came from the contacts restoration process. There was an error restoring a particular contact that would cause the whole process to stop. It seems as though I got the whole list though, except the erroneous contact.
