Hi There,
I had a same problem some time back and had a simmilar post sent out..
I was told that there is nothing much I can do except start using sprite back up utility. That lets u control the way u can back up. Unfortunately the program is not free.
I also started using Jeyo mobile extender for outlook. WShat this does is to creat a sms folder in Microsoft outlook and sync all the sms into out look like emails . This is also a good utility.
Hope this info helps u in future.

Hi there...i experienced that as well...What i did afterwards, was to restore it again. It was ok then, and my inbox wasn't weird as before. Hope that helps

HELP! SMS recovery needed!

Hi all, I've just upgraded my O2 Exec ROM, not being a PC user i assumed that activesync (using my flatmates PC) would back up everything, including MMS and SMS messages.
With over 300 SMS messages, a lot of them personal, others with important information in them, i would like to be able to recover them.
if theres any way to do this i would appreciate any help.
thanks,
brodie

Nope, you're f***ed. There's no recovery program at my knowledge.

did u make a backup? ...-if u made a full backup, just restore that.

no i think i just synced it. i saw no option for backup, only sync so assumed it would back it up.
I didnt really pay much attention to it, just checked all the boxes in active sync and synced it, upgraded the ROM and synced back again, but no sms.
Just looking now and my other email accounts havent appeared, am i missing something? does activesync not copy your other accounts either?

No, sorry to say but ActiveSync only copies you default outlook folders. No copy is made of SMS, MMS and other mailboxes that are set up. So sorry to say but I don't think you'll ever see the lost data again.
A little late for now but I'd recommend using a backup utility for future use. Which btw does not solve all of your problems as a backup made with a specific Rom can almost never be restored on an upgraded device with a different Rom. For SMS I use Jeyo Outlook Companion which creates a PST in outlook and keeps your SMS messages in sync. You can that also copy the SMS messages to any mail folder you'd like.

thanks for the replies all, looks like i shouldnt be so hasty and assume everything gets synced!
I'll look into backup utilities, have to wait until pocketmac or missingsync works with WM5!

I use jeyo sms outlook add on, for sms, and also look at personal vault, http://1800message.com/default.aspx to back up your phone I use Backup manager of sunnysoft, works like a treat.

Backup AND RESTORE SMS messages?

Hello,
I've searched the board several times since months and haven't found a solution to my problem yet.
My problem is as follows:
I have my Wizard (O2 Germany, so Xda mini S) since february (in fact it is the third one, O2 support changed it two times because the stylus didn't lock anymore after few weeks of use... have to change it again...).
And few months ago, I tried Sprite Backup, what I am using since then. Although it worked well, one thing is annoying: sometimes after hard reset and restore of only my mail database (cemail.vol, the only thing I really need to be backed up), the Messaging app doesn't show mail accounts anymore, but when I try to create new ones with the same names, it says, that the accounts already exist. So I created new accounts with different names, as many other users did, how I could read here. They co-exist and take memory.
Interesting thing: the Spb Diary messaging program can see the old accounts, and so it is also possible to delete the messages, that are still there in the old accounts. It can take a long time and many clicks (taps), because you can delete only one message at once, but it is better than nothing. One problem persists: Spb Diary can't delete the accounts themselves.
Therefore I am searching for a way to extract only my SMS messages (eMail is not important, I have it all on PC), start with an empty mail database (hard reset) and restore only the SMS messages into that new database.
The only program I have found so far, that really looked well for the first moment, is Jeyo Mobile Extender (or Companion). It backups the SMS Messages to PC, but not all of them. Messages in subfolders are ignored (I have subfolders for delivery notifications, call missed notifications and so on). And the restore doesn't work as expected. The date of the messages gets messed up, long messages (>160 charactes) get cut, and even the sender/receiver of the messages can get flipped.
But it must be possible to write a program, that fits my needs, I think (by the way: what is going on with the developers of WM2005? Backing up messages from mobile device to desktop is ESSENTIAL!!! Why isn't such a feature included?).
And because I am sure that I am not the only one with this problems hoping for a solution, I could imagine that someone already has written such a tool.
So, please, if anyone knows a tool or a different solution (editing mail database, removing everything except SMS messages...), PLEASE, help me!
Thank you very much in advance!

Yeaa im also really looking for a soultion to this, i Recently got a Windows Mobile device and i really wanna just be able to transfer my Series 60 Messages in Text format now.. to my Pocket PC's Messaging.

I can't believe nobody has made an app to backup and restore SMS's despite the growing number of people who need just sucha an app.
Except for Kai's, I don't think there is anything out there that does the job.
I hope SPB includes an option in the future to backup specific accounts only, because it is by far the best messaging backup app I have used till date.

jeyo has. works fine

jeyo is crappy piece of ****. better than nothing, but doesn't back up all messages, no self-created subfolders, no dupe-check, shows error message on ppc on every connect...
you will find out, when it is most important to you, believe me!

SMS stuck in Outbox keeps resending!

Hi,
I've got an SMS in my outbox that keeps resending .. I can't delete it, or move it to another folder. It's really starting to annoy me as, not only was it 10 messages long, it's addresses to my Ex, which is absolutely thrilling. If anyone can help, PLEASE do .. otherwise, feel free to laugh at my stupidly silly predicament (Would you want a 10-message long sms to keep resending to your ex every 5mins??!)
Thanks

I hope some people can use this. I use ppcpimbackup to backup my messages. PPCpim doesnt backup your outbox folder, but whem you restore the backup, it deletes the whole messages database, so, backup, and then restore fixed my problem and emptyd my inbox

My wife's phone (HTC Kaiser/Tilt) has had this problem a few times. The first time it was a message to me and it sent every few minutes for days. The only way I've been able to solve it is by clearing out all the emails on the phone (inbox, outbox, etc).
Another time it wouldn't sync with the mailbox, that was due to a ton of messages on the account it was linked to. I think I solved that problem by clearing out the remote inbox using the web interface, and also clearing out the local inbox on the phone.
The mail client just doesn't seem to be too stable. I don't use it, I just use the web interface to get my mail, via Opera.

How to Copy SMS and Contacts from Touch HD to Touch HD2

Hi Everybody.
I try to copy all my Sms and contacts from my HTC Touch HD to HTC Touch HD2.
I tried with Windows My Phone (Sync).
It worked half way... but once u want to see couple of sms it will slow down.
After that my whole phone almost freeze.
So i reboot and i had to use also once Reset "close to batt." (soft reset?).
I would love to use my new HD2 if i can solve this problem...
Then i can give my HD1 to my Girlfriend
any idea?
Thx in advance

Very very simple: I've migrated from TyTN II to HD2.
Install Microsoft MyPhone on "old" device, sync what you need.
Then install Microsoft MyPhone on "new" device, then sync again.
Voilà!
If you don't want/have online connection, you can use the old good PIM Backup.
I prefer the first method, I've used it to sync:
contacts, calendar, tasks, SMS.

Thx for your reply...
the thing is its not working fully as i wrote before.
thats what i did.
it was super simple... but!
my HD2 is going about 10 times slower once i open a sms.
Sure i have about 3000sms if not more.
But still it works nice on HD1.
So i wonder what i have to change in HD2 to make it work smooth.

HI jisin,
this is a known "bug" on the HD2. If you have to much SMS the device gets very slow.
The HTC Sense is the problem, it can not handle so much sms. I had 1600 and it was very slow. I can not write a sms, the contacts are very slow.
I sync. all my sms with "my phone" software and archived all sms. After a next sync all sms on my hd2 are deleted and i have my backup if i need some of this sms again.
I think this is a good solution until HTC released a hotfix for this problem.

Txfer SMS & contacts
PIM Backup for SMS.
For contacts, if you copy your pim.vol file from device\ (root)folder of your Tytn to the device\ folder of the HD2, voila, all your contacts and appointments are copied instantly, without the potential for duplicate/multiple copies.
I copy it to my sd card, then to device\ using fexploreext, then restart .
You could use totalcommander.

If you've just used MyPhone to sync your contacts and messages from one phone to another, just open the MyPhone web interface and archive your messages there. Once done, you can delete them all and redo the sync. That will delete all your messages from your phone, but keep the archive online.
I know it's a pain that the UI doesn't like us having messages (almost as if we shouldn't be using our phones for things like contacting people!). I'm really hoping that this will be one of the issues that HTC address sooner, rather than later!

Works like charm thx m8! Just wanted to add that the cab file (fexploreext) changes just the original explorer (its not a new program - I was looking for it in the installed programs section and couldnt find it ).
