Hard Reset - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

If I do a hard reset, can I restore everything I had on the phone through ActivSync? i.e. I won't lose emails and text messages? I'd like to know because I want to remove the O2 rubbish.
Thanks

Soft Reset Deleting Text Messages

Hi,
I brought a JasJar this week, and i am having probelms with pocket outlook, when i recived a text message or email or create one and store it, then soft reset. when i start back up they have all gone.
If i sync with my pc the message are put on the jasjar and when i reset they are still there.... just if they were unread when the were put on the device i read them then soft reset it says they are unread.... so i have 20 emails aday that are all unread so after 3 days i have 60 unread mails even thought i have read them.
I also am having probelms with the calander if i softreset after an reminder has gone off (even hours before) it sets of the reminder again it is like the jasjar is not storing anything todo with pocket outlook at all.
Any help or ideas what to do. I have updated the ROM to the lastest one 130.76 i have hard reset many times and still nothing.... can any one help i have only had the think from expansys 4 days.
I get this as well, it's really irritating
Anybody Else?
Does anybody else have the same problem? if there isn't a fix i will be sending mine back as text message is critical to my job and i need old messages.
Does anybody have a fix for it?

why do you soft reset so often?
hanmin is exactly right, WM5 has a delayed write option because if you would write immediately you would kill the flash memory quickly.
A better way is to switch the device off (which will force a buffer flush) and the to soft reset if you really need to do that every fie minutes.

SMS msgs getting wiped after SOFT reset

Only recently got my T-Mobile branded Vario direct from them brand new and I've noticed that after I perform a soft reset all my messages, regardless of whether they have been read or not, get wiped.
I've checked Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Outbox and Sent Items folders and they are all empty! I can absolutely assure you that I did not delete any of the messages myself.
Thinking that I might of had some conflict with another piece of sofware I had installed I decided to perform a hard reset and get everything set back to T-Mobile factory defaults. After all the Extended-Rom branding stuff got installed I decided to leave the phone exactly as it was, no tweaking of any settings, no installing any extra apps, no active-syncing, no nothing - a fresh factory reset!
Then, I sent another text message to the Vario. It arrived and after I read it and confirmed that it was indeed in the Text Message Inbox folder I quit out of the message app and perform a soft reset. Guess what happened after it restarted? Yep, the text message has miraculously disappeared
Anybody else seen this happen?
Anyone care to comment? Please reply even if your text msgs DON'T get wiped as I'd like to find out whether it's normal or not.
not got a T-mobile ROM, i'm using the O2 one (and now the updated version) and have never lost text messages from a soft reset (only a hard reset)
Sry i cant help further
just started happening to me and i been using the 2.17 rom.. i noticed this yesterday it deleted like 5 msgs but i got my other ones there so i was like WTFD?
I've just had this on a Universal (Orange M5000) with the latest Orange ROMs.
Prior to this, I suddenly had days and days of delivery notifications come flooding in, although this may have been an issue with either Orange or another network provider.

Loosing SMs messages.
If you have received a SMS message and soft reset before closing POutlook then I have found that you do loose the message.
By closing, I mean really closing it - not just pucsing the X button.
Likewise if you have deleted a message or moved it then the message(s) come back.
It seems to be that POutlook doesn't commit the changes to it's database until you close the app - or switch accounts.

That certainly seems to be the case with me, I was having trouble syncing with activesync, just dying each time I tried so in the end I hit the soft reset, I'm fairly certain that I still had outlook running at that point.
Actually, thinking about it, there were two batches of sms msgs, and I did end task on outlook after the first, so I can maybe understand that the second lot could be lost, but not the first?
Is there any way of validating the system databases?
The problem that I was having, disappearing SMS msgs, seems to have gone away and everything is still intact now even after multiple soft resets.
In case anyone else gets this strange behaviour, I can indeed confirm that POutlook.exe was indeed closed as I had also double checked the running programs list * to ensure no other processes were open that could conflict.
( * Start -> Settings -> System -> Memory ->Running Programs )
bbut also make sure tmail.exe is closed to.. get memmaid ull be suprised at all whats running.. the best thing to do is to use SmartSKey and make that close ur txt message app completelty!
poutlook.exe tmail.exe and sMSNserver.exe/pMSNserver.exe ...if these are open chances are ur sms/mms may be wiped after a soft-reset i make sure to sync my phone to pc and use jeyo outlook companion b4 a soft-reset

hotmail jumps into text message?

on my tmo mda every now and then if i send a text message, part of a hotmail message will jump in there and send with it. it shows up on the other phone, but not on my sent messages. tmo has already reset my data connection and that didn't do anything. they say i have to do a hard reset but there's just too much stuff to reload so i really don't wanna.
got tmo rom and wm5...any ideas on what to do?
i've tried deleting the cemail.vol but it happened again...

What Does A Hard Reset Do?

Hi Guys,
My HTC Herald is giving me some application problems - running incredibly slow, applications not working, people calling me and I am unable to answer or see who is calling but hear it ringing and typing problems so I am considering doing a Hard Reset in hopes that it restores my HTC back.
I just have some questions regarding a Hard Reset if someone could please just answer it for me, I would kindly appreciate it.
I am aware a Hard Reset resets your phone back to manufacture status, so obviously you loose anything you add on the phone since. However does it erase Messages and Contacts?
I know how to back up my contacts using Outlook on my PC, but not sure how to do it to my messages and then if it does delete it, how do I put it back on my HTC?
Finally will Hard Reseting fix its bugs?
Thanks alot in advance!
Yes, it will erase everything on your device program memory. Well to back up your contacts, messages, appointments and tasks, use the PPCPimBackup.zip. unzip it and place it on the memory stick and then run file explorer and look it up. click on it and follow the instructions. Very easy. Remember to back up on your storagecard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When your done hard resetting, use this program again to restore your contacts etc...
Hardresetting will help you resolve your problems... I do a hardreset everytime I feel the phone gets a bit on the slow side.

Messages not deleting!! Or staying!!!

Hey I have been having this problem...
my phone when ever I do a soft reset, it seems like it goes back to a restore point...
for example... I would delete 50 messages right now...
then later on I would soft reset the phone if necessary. after the soft reset, the messages that I would have deleted would reappear...
OR
I would get messages from people and respond, like a normal texting conversation,
if I reset the phone for some reason, the messages that I recieved would be gone...
now correct me if I'm wrong, but after you delete something permanently, isnt it supposed to completely be off of the memory? so how is it reappearing?
it seems like with all of my messages and emails no matter how many times they are deleted or new ones I get, after a soft reset everything is lost, OR returned.
what is this? I want to free up storage memory on y phone.... what should I do?
BTW I have a wizard
Dunno, just want to say that it does happen with me too.
At first I thought that it's because the sms program is not closed properly. And it turned out that it was not the case.
