Hi,
I had to hard restore when i tried to install a new SIP. I use spb backup. The restore was fine but now i only see one today item, the date. The rest of them are activated but i cant see them. Any idea?
Thanks
Go to START-SETTINGS-TODAY then "items" and turn them on ...
hehe i did it before. The problem was in the "msn plugin". I ve turned it off and now i can see the rest of them....

hi all
i just found out that i cannot receivce any sms anymore.
this is really hard to notice if you don't KNOW that someone is sending you an sms . so i can't tell till when it did work, and when it stopped working.
anyone got the same problem before? this happened to me the second time now, and the only solution (for me) was to HARD reset the device (which is no real fun ).
any ideas?

Have you, after doing a ROM install, carried out a Sprite Backup Restore?
If so, that's your problem.
Don't ask me why (just do a search on this forum for more users examples), but when you restore the SMS/Email folders as part of a Sprite Backup restore, it corrupts the sms so that notifications are not shown, and the messages are not listed/stored.
In effect, invisible sms.
So far, I've not heard a single response to any user from the peeps at Sprite about this, even though this is a common and widely known problem now. But to be fair, i don't wish to be too harsh, as I find it a life saving application. How I got round it was to run the restore option on the phone NOT the PC (as this is the only way you can do a SELECTIVE restore of items), and unticked anything relating to sms/emails.
Then I found I had a decent restored phone (albeit minus any emails/sms), but with SMS working properly.
Let me know if this might be the case with you...
@shadamere
i'm afraid you're damn right i did use sprite backup - and i did (of course) restore my sms folder and me inbox folder.
i thought about that possibility as well - but wasn't sure of course. now that you're telling me it's sprite backup i can search for that in the forum.
and, i agree with you too: it is a very important app for me as well because i like playing around with a lot of programs ans roms ect....
thanks a lot for the help
bzw: maybe this could help: i just read about a sprite backup 3.0 (though no info on the homepage so far)

had the same problem...
I had the same problem; ended up having to flash the damn thing and re-install all of my applications.
I DO use Sprite Backup, but I have no idea if I had done a restore or not and whether that terminated the capability.
HELP AND ADVICE TO BOTH OF YOU THEN...
If you haven't done too much to your phone since the problem, do a HARD RESET, and then re-install Sprite Backup (the APPLICATION, not the data), onto your XDA.
Then, connect to your PC, and run the PC Service (needed for a restore if you saved the file to PC).
Now run the Sprite Backup program, ON YOUR DEVICE - this is important!
Choose the data file you have, that you wish to restore from, BUT, then go through the various options where you can tick or untick what you want to restore.
UNtick anything relating to the Email and SMS folders etc, and then start the restore process.
This SHOULD (if done properly), leave you with an XDA with all your apps, videos, photos etc etc on, and able to receive SMS messages as normal.
The only downside is that you will have lost any stored sms etc that you might have had.
But it's MUCH more preferable to an XDA with NONE of your data on at all.
Hope this advice is useful to you, and doesn't arrive too late!
Or alternatively download CleanMail from their website and run it, this requires a soft reset but cleans up the mail/sms system and it will work again.
It also deletes all existing mails.
i also had the same problem with spirate & what i do is restore without sms message & e-mail but i use spstudio to back them up, so after restoring with spirate i use sp studio & retrieve my sms's :evil: long way but something stupid in the sms db wich i think it is due to the constant changing of the db headers that doesn't allow u to retrieve message with db u need a program that talks to the inbox only & not the db
I had this exact same problem!! I never received any SMS messages telling me that I had voicemail and I had about 10 messages and people pissed off because I never called them back! I used the tool on the Sprite website and POOF all the problems went away. I lost all of my prior messages, but not receiving SMS's was worse :shock: !
- Cheers
It's a SWINE to find on the Sprite website, so here's the direct link to CleanMail for any that need it...

OK, Sprite Backup 3.0 Pre-Release now restores SMS/POP/IMAP correctly.
http://www.spritesoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=971
We'll be making it the official release, depending on customer feedback obviously (its a release candidate).
Any existing backup files will need to be restored with email deselected. From then on Sprite Backup 3.0 will backup/restore email/SMS services correctly.

I tried solving this myself, but I can't get through!
I have this problem for a couple of weeks now. Problem is that the phone is showing to have signal, green light flashing and everything seems ok. But when people call me they get voicemail and when I call people I don't hear anything. No tone or something. I am sure that this has nothing to do with signalstrength etc. Only way to resolve is to softreset and it works again.
I hardresetted my device and everything keeps working foor a couple of days. Then I placed my contactsdatabase back and problem came back...... Then I hardresetted again and replaced a Sprite backup without my contacts and everything worked like a charm. Writing my contacts back in the database worked for about 2 days and then the problem came back again.....
I really don't know what to do about this anymore! I really have no idea what to change or what to do.
Can anyone help me with this?
You could try to:
1. HardReset it
2. Restore your contacts (doesn't matter, what will it do to your XDAII)
3. Go to: Start -> Settings -> System
4. Run "Permanent Save"
5. Select "Contacts" (it will store your contacts into \Storage now)
6. Normal Reset
7. After it fully starts, do Hard Reset again
8. Repeat step 3, 4, 5 and 6 (don't restore your contacts with Sprite Backup anymore)
Let me know, if that worked...
good luck

Thax for the reply! I'm going to do this immediately!
Thanx Mate
Buzz and all other people. Thanx for helping me!
Problem is as follows. I thought that I was the only one with the problem, but a lot of people have this.... Just wrote the same thread on a dutch forum and there were a lot of reactions to that.
I explained what I discovered. People tried the same, but some people still got the problem of loosing connectivity even when no contacts were installed. Really don't get it!
So, the phone shows that we all are connected and there is nothing wrong, but people can't call us, can't sms us and so we can't call them. And really have no reason why.... Can anyone help? For me the contacts helped me for the moment, but I don't know if this will last long.
Buzz, did you experience the same problems yourself or do you know this is a known issue for Sprite or something?
Really would like some help with this..... Could the radiomodule be broken?
Thanx in advance for helping me!
Getting frustrated with the keypad not appearing when i want to make a call.
Have to reboot the phnoe to make the keypad reppear.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Any solutions please. If not looks like I'm going to have to hard reset.
Dave
When did the problem appear? If you remember, you can easily restore to the day before. I am assuming you:
1- Backup
2- Keep at least 5 days of back ups
Usually if I get a weird problem like yours. For instance a different SIP is appearing instead of the default one I specified, I simply restore to yesterday. Then use PIM backup to restore my sms and PIM info to today. I know its a hassle but its way faster than hard resetting and reinstalling all your apps and customizing it the way you want to. Alternatively, you can skip the PIM step by only selecting the restore app to restore the phone, deselect PIM restore.
I have just flashed to Dutty's 3.9 ROM and restored all my contacts initially with sprite backup, it did not seem to identify my new sms's with the caller ID saved in the phone untill i go furthur into TF3D which takes a long time to load, anyone have an idea on how to fix this? I tried searrching but cant seem to come up with anything!
i have subsequently deleted the contacts and restored them from the myphone service, still no luck....
edit: update from myphone seems to have cured the problem for new messages
however my messages tab is very slow to load, when wanting to reply to a message, also anyone know how to get it to go to the original windows reply window rather than the one from TF3D?

I used to face a similar problem like yours, but I've used activesync instead, and all incoming text messages/calls aren't recognized. At the time I solved the problem simply by flashing the phone with another rom (I've tried several roms and I think my phone is quite picky, there are quite a lot of roms in which it can't identify incoming texts and calls).
I am also using the original windows window for texts and here's what i did:
* hide the manila sms tab
* replace the right softkey button on the home tab to direct it to the windows default sms window. This can be done through a registry editor:
1. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila in registry
2. If you don't have a String entry called LandscapeMenuRSKPath, add it.
3. Edit the value of LandscapeMenuRSKPath to read: \windows\tmail.exe
4. If you don't have a String entry called LandscapeMenuRSKText, add it.
5. Edit the LandscapeMenuRSKText value to read: SMS
6. If you don't have a string called LandscapeMenuRSKArguments, add it.
7. Edit the value of LandscapeMenuRSKArguments to read: -service "SMS"
That's it.

What ROM did you make the backup in Sprite from? Also, did you only backup your contacts with it? If not, did you do a level 1 merge when you restored it?
hello this is my first post kinda tired of this phone already!
iv done 3 hard resets trying to get back my mms ability that came factory the day i got my phone. reasons for my resets were from crashes and or frozen during app installs and would reboot. ok now for my problem
after my last hard reset i installed the fallowing
spb full keyboard
spb home screen shell
spb weather
reg edit
some hacks
nosentmsg
i tried the weather hack but was unable to get it to work
and some others
now when i go to messaging i get the options of text messages, windows live, new email accout..
when i got the phone and after the first 2 hard resets the list went text messages, pic/video messages, windows live, new email account
