Once more my I-Mate froze!!! After hard resetting it, I noticed I had lost my SMS account. Is there a way to reset the SMS account from a backed-up device. If I hard reset and don't restore, I have my SMS, but all other info is gone. I've been using Sprite Back-up sofar
Cheers!!! :x
search this forum for "sprite", it is a known killer of sms.

Hi guys,
I dont want to sound ignorant, but that 14mb or so we have left over for storge, is that permanent? (ie, after a hard reset, the data is still there?)
Also, I have checked my contacts, appointments etc to be permanentley saved. Does this mean that they are transferred into this 14mb storage area? To stay until they are manually removed?
The only reason why I ask is that I was pretty sure I saved my contacts to permanent storage b4 I did a hard reset, but they werent there once the XDAII reinstalled.
Yes, the Storage survives after hard reset. Did you use xBackup to save your contacts and appointments? If so, just return to xBackup to restore. They are not automatically restored on a hard reset.
And yes you can manually delete saved files etc. from Storage to make more space for the next time!
What about agendafusion appointments, etc? does xbackup recognise those as appointments when you back them up, or does agenda have its own backup procedure?
backup
I believe that they will be backed up. xBackup uses the default PIM database. I know for sure, that Pocket Informant uses the default databases (contacts, calendar, tasks) and these data are backed-up by xbackup.

Permanent storage does work with contacts, apointments, tasks & connection settings.
After soft-reset they get restored automatically
After hard-reset you have to restore manually by getting into the Permanent Storage app
Works like a charm
How do I remove 'stuck' email a/c & 'unread' Today notice?
Hi there, hope you can help.
I have an HTC Wizard (Xda Mini S) and recently restored a backup using the latest Sprite Backup beta.
It kinda half restored my one POP3 e-mail account, in that the account appears on the Today screen showing '59 Unread', but not in the Messaging program folder list.
I.e. it's there, but not visible and I can't see the Inbox etc.
When I try to re-create the account using the same name, Messaging won't let me as 'an account already exists with that name'. So, it's there, but invisible.
I've tried removing all entries of the account name from the registry, but after a reboot they reappear.
How can I completely remove this account, to start again?
I think it is a bug to be honest
I did a hard reset and then restored my sms back to the device using Jeyo
it said 1046 unread (but they were there) and after manually selecting mark as read, it had 1 msg unread even though there was none that were unread!
in the end i had to hard reset it again and its ok now
Thanks but I'm hoping someone here can provide a solution that doesn't involve a hard reset, as that rather defeats the object of having performed & restored a backup at all!

google for 'Clenmail', that should be it.
Thanks, found it at http://www.spritesoftware.com/downloads/CleanMail.zip
Sadly it didn't do anything for my device's issue however
As the message suggests... My SMS's are deleted after a hard reset. Any way to back them up?
DB
There are several ways to backup sms. I use a program called Jeyo Mobile Extender and every time you sync your device with outlook, it backs up all your sms to outlook. THen you can hard reset and either keep those sms's on your pc in outlook, or choose to restore them on your device.
I'm bumping this request again
does anyone know where the sms' are stored on the Prophet? in some database file? There can be too many to be just stored in the registry!
and no, I'm not looking for an existing program to back sms up (also because none of the existing ones are fully WM5 compatible)
I'm after the technical details of where they are stored. Didn't find anything with a Google search.
thanks.
I have spb backup (I think that's what it's called), I ask it to backup my mail and it backs up my SMS as well... Very cool little backup program and it works with WM5 too.
DB
This is not the technical solution to kow where there are stored...
I m also looking 4 that information (+ where call log are stored !)
Write to Kai Bruckmann in Germany (in English), he has written a little app that backs up SMS to a Excel tab (and back).

Having migrated to Trinity's I wish to eBay my 2 X Prophets
How can I delete ALL Contacts & Calendar appointments?
I do not wish to Hard Reset the phones as I wish to sell them with TomTom & other programs installed
TIA

Deleting Calendar as well as Contacts
Athough the link on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=272996 allows the deletion of all Contacts, I needed to delete my Appointments yet leave various software installed, Hard Reset wiped them.
By using SpbBackup in 'Custom Backup' mode I only selected My Documents & System Data. Hard Reset the Prophet & restored from the Custom Backup file.
All software still works & no personal data; Prophet now on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280136214281
From earlier this morning I somehow cannot access my sms messages, e-mails, nothing from within the Messaging menu - not from the Start Menu, not from the assigned button on the device, not from the Mobile Shell's menu, from nowhere, a windows' loading icon appears the it just shuts down as if I closed it....?!!?! I can't write messages, can't recieve any etiher, ppl get a report I got the message but nothing happens with my phone
I have a Qtek 9100 with WM5 and Mobile Shell.
Has anyone else come accross this problem??? A soft reset didnt help.... Hard reset is an opiton but as a last resort, I have no idea whether a system Back-up wont copy the problem all over again.......
HELP PLZ
Hard reset is indeed the fix...this has happened to me a few times, and thats the only way that I have ever been able to fix it. Use PIM Backup or Sprite Backup to backup the stuff that you want before you do it of course.

I hope this won't copy the files, regs, etc, that caused the problem......??
Hard reset did nothing........ Either the problem can't be fixed with a hard reset, or the backup file copied the corrupt part of the system I guess......
Could it be possible that a single message can be blocking the whole Messaging unit of the system......? Maybe if I put my sim card in another phone....?
After the system was reset hard, the messages window appeared OK, then I restored from a backup file and nada......
Try again, but don't restore all of your email this time. You most likely have a corrupted email message (most likely in your outbox, but not always), and it sounds like it was recent. This used to happen to me on Windows 95 rather often, and has happened to me with WM5, as well.
If there's nothing in your outbox, and you have a habit of leaving recent mail in your inbox, you might try restoring everything but your inbox after the hard reset. If you are a "delete" kind of guy, try to restore everything but the trash. You may have to hard reset a couple of times, before you find it, but at least you won't lose your entire email account, just the folder that has the corrupt message.
If you get through all your email folders and still can't find the culprit, I suppose you'll have to just deal with not restoring your email account, and move forward.
