Messaging gone missing - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

My messaging application (on Dopod 838Pro) appears to have gone missing. If I click on the icon, press the softkey, try to send a photo via email/mms etc, I get no action.
Does anyone know of a way to restore it without a hard reset?
Thanks

Missing Mail
Did a soft reset not do anything either?
Check the files are there to suppor the shortcut and debug.
look for poutlook under the /My device/Windows.
bit of a bummer that one mate.

its tmail.exe in the windows directory for messaging, isn't it?

Mine is there, but it tries to start an email. Now that email has been switched off / disabled it doesn't do anything.
Is there anything from the network provider that can be sent to kick start this all??

For instructions as to how to Reset SMS / MMS folders, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1083243#post1083243
For the MMS program, the ArcSoft MMS program has been posted on various threads on this site. Once you have followed the instructions in the above link, then reinstall only the MMS program. For example, for the MMS program that works for the Blue Angel, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1084299#post1084299. There have been newer versions of this program posted that work on WM5. Check the FTP site.

Messaging shows 10 deleted messages, but folder is empty

In the Messaging app, the "Deleted Items" folder of my Text Messages has (10) after its name in the Show menu to indicate that there are 10 unread items in the folder. When I open the folder, there are no messages there, although at the bottom of the screen it sais " Text Messages 0 Items, 10 Unread". Whatever I try, I cannot clear that and make that 0 Items, 0 Unread, like it should show, since the folder is empty.
I tried the tools-> Empty Deleted Items option, but the problem remains. Does anyone know how to get rid of the message that there are 10 unread messages in th folder, although it is actually empty?
Thanks.
Do you use Sprite Backup? Sometimes a restore can cause that to happen. They have a utility that worked for me:
http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/a...il.zip&search=Search&area=0&criteria=0&sort=0
Thanks the link you suggested worked, the count is now 0 like it should be. It even worked too good, it also erased my email and mms accounts, which I now cannot get to work again... Well, just have to install them again I guess, at least that annoying faulty sms count is gone now.
Glad it worked. The included .txt file does say that it will wipe everything clean and to be sure you're backed up with whatever's needed.
Hope you're back up and running.
Yeah, I read the .txt file. The app itself showed what items would be deleted, but never mentioned that it would delete all the mail settings and accounts as well. As it turns out, I couldn't get my MMS composer to work after I ran the program, so I hard reset the device and runned my backup on it. Now my MMS composer is back, my mail accounts and settings are back, but the annoying corrupt sms count is back as well off course. I plan to hard reset and reinstall all my apps manually anyway, since I am having more trouble at the farm, so I will then as a side benefit also be rid of the corrupt sms counts. But thanks anyway for your help.

I have the same problem after apply the patch of the Sprite. I make a hard reset but when I restaure again I disable 2 directory UAContents and folder of MMS. Now it works perfectly
That sounds as the thing I have been looking for. How did you disable the folders in your restore? When I restore, I cannot disable any folders, Sprite just puts back all my apps, folders, settings etc. Can you tell me how exactly did you leave out those folders? Should I do this when making a back up ( thereby losing the folders after the hard reset) or when restoring ( can you show me how to leave them out when restoring?). Can you tell me where the folders are located on my Compact?
It's necessary to exit of elementary mode. You can find it in Option. I don't arrive to understand in English, look here and here
Ok, thanks! I did the restore from my desktop PC, but I see that from my SD card I can choose to leave some folders out of the restore. Thanks for your help!
After applying the patch, when MMS composer dissapeares, you can install it again from Extended ROM. For me it was OK.
P/S/ To make ExtROM visible run LoadVDisc program from Windows folder

MMS problem

Hi All,
I have a trange pproblem - i cannot use MMS editor....
MMS server and configuration is there, registry keys are in place, but....
There is no "MMS" account when you try to switch message type..
Can anybody help ?
Regards
baudy
I have an O2 exec. I have the same problem, no mms account in message. Can anybody help to solve it, thanks.
Try using this CAB file, it's supposed to create a link to the MMS so that it becomes visible in Outlook. Once u install it, DO NOT soft reset until at least 20mins later........ Or at least I had problems when I did that. It's like the missing smses that has just been received......

Broke my MMS on firmware upgrade

I 'upgraded' my firmware from the default Qtek 9100 firmware to the KJAM 1.1.9.3 firmware... I unlocked my extended rom and deleted all of the carrier presets as well as the skype and anti-virus. For some reason I don't see an MMS account in my Messaging app. I see the MMS Configuration menu (everything has been hand configured). I also see the "Send Via MMS" menu in File Explorer, but selecting leads to a short pause and then nothing.
I currently have the following installed from my extended ROM:
Autorun.exe
Default_cdl_wwe_version.cab
Default_ie_view.sa.cab
Default_Imate_PPC_SA_V5./.../.cab
Default_SmartDialing_en/.../.cab
Install_Tsk.exe
Setup.exe
(the names of some were too long to see, but they are all standard to the 1.1.9.3 WWE K-Jam ROM posted on our FTP server.)
Any thoughts on what I might have missed, or what I can do to get MMS working again?
Thanks,
Steve
I have the same problem, just hard-reset my vario after unlocking the extended rom and removing most of the T-Mobile stuff. I have MMS configurations but no MMS account, and when I try to add a new messaging account it wants to set up e-mail.
I installed the cab that is supposed to set up MMS: CAB-Customization-TMUK-Wizard-01-04-03Oct05.CAB, according to this:http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_message/24674452#24674452
and performed a soft reset, but still no MMS account.
Any ideas?
Please use this file to recover it......!!!:lol: :lol:
CAB-Shortcut-MMS1-JAVA5XX-VOICE-O2-31Oct05
I gave that file a shot, unfortunately no change, either before or after a soft reset :-/
That cab seemed to just reconfigure the MMS settings for T-Mobile.
The MMS configuration menu was always visible though, and there was nothing wrong with the settings, problem was that there's no MMS account visible in the messaging program.
I asked a friend to send me an MMS, this made my text messages inbox come up, but not showing a message, and when I tried to close the window it would go back to the today screen momentarily and then bring the inbox back up again.
Can anyone help?
In a sick sad way, I'm glad that JPo has the same problem, at least I know I'm not the only one :shock:
I have exactly same problem on o2 xda exec after applying latest rom upgrade
no mms inbox/account.
mms is configurable under menu>mms configuration, but theres no inbox present.
i tried to send myself an mms message from another mobile phone, all that happens is text message inbox screen pops up, i close it, then a second later it pops back up again, this screnn cannot be closed anymore unless you soft reset
has anyone solved this?
why did the mms inbox dissapear?
fixed it
go to xda developers FTP
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/
then navigate to
/Universal/Extended ROMs/Vodafone_UK_new_ver/
download this file and run it on your device
"msd_cab-shortcut-voda-19aug05.cab"
Your MMS inbox is now Fixed! :wink:
but there are a few additions under start>programs
Namely: ClearVue PDF, MIDlet Manager & Voice Speed Dial. You can delete these with a 3rd party explorer like Resco Explorer.
If you want MMS settings for Vodaphone UK then download this one
"msd_cab-customization-vodaukcontract-universal-01-06-18oct05xml.cab"
Does anyone know how to setup connections for sending and receiving MMS? I just get notifications and warnings it cant send or receive, obviously my connection settings are not correct, can anyone share their Vodafone UK settings (Fool Proof Instructions Please) :roll:
Thanks a Million!!!
:idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:
With your instructions I got my MMS folder for the first time since I have my 9100.
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!1

Threaded Text Messages

Hello all.
I just got my 8525 from Cingular yesterday. I love it. installed a bunch of programs already.
is there a program that will thread text messages? I've looked around with google and couldn't find any.
thanks in advance.

Try these keywords in google:
THREADED, SMS
It's hard but it should do the trick
Threaded SMS
This is a common complaint for 8525 users.
You have three choices: 2 legal and one not.
1 and 2: apps called TXTMan and "SMS Threader". Neither integrate well with the phone, most people remove soon after installing.
Option 3: install the app which Palm wrote for the Treo 700W, which has been hacked for use on any WM5 phone. Requires some tweaking, and you're on your own in terms of FINDING the app (Palm is apparently pretty aggressive about getting it taken down from most forums).
Here's how I got mine working on my 8525, here in Austin TX:
1) run the .cab, Soft Reset.
2) edit the registry to rename HKLM/Software/MS/Inbox/SVC/MMS1 to MMS1OLD, Soft Reset. Otherwise you still see MMS if you click your email hard button a second time.
3) Go into new SMS app, Menu, Options, Advanced:
Msg Center#: +12099042020
Email Center#: 121 <--this lets you send sms's to email addresses
MMS gateway address: 66.209.11.32
MMS URL: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Network Profile: MEdia Net
4. Delete Start Menu/Programs/Inbox(1) folder.
That's it - works GREAT. Hope this helps!

MMS menu missing

Hi
I'm new to this forum and not that technically savvy so apologies if this is a daft post.
I have a problem with my (UK) T-Mobile MDA Vario in that the MMS menu item is missing from the Start -> Messaging -> Menu -> Switch Accounts menu (I'm told it should be there).
I've followed the T-Mobile instructions for setting up the MMS server configuration and that all looks fine but I just don't see the MMS menu item to enable me to send a picture message.
Details when I start up the phone are as follows:
IPL 2.21
SPL 2.21
GSM 02.19.11
OS 2.21.2.6
Can anyone tell me how I can get the menu item onto my phone?
Many thanks
mms
why did you not look into the message folder?
it should be there
Thanks for the reply.
The only folders I see under the Start -> Messaging -> Inbox dropdown are:
Outlook E-mail
Text Messages
Is that the Message folder you mean?
Thanks
Claire
Official T-Mo Rom?
Some official T-Mo roms disable MMS settings editing. I believe T-Mo 2.26 rom does this.
Missing MMS folder
Hi
I had the same problem with my Cingular 8125. After many discussions with Cingular support and no success, I stumbled upon this cab. file, copied and opened the file to my device. I now have the MMS folders.
Have attached the ZIP file for Extended_ROM2.
Below is the cab file that worked for me.
MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Java5xx-CyberonVoice-CV-051220.CAB
I know how U feel. I am also new to these smart phones and only yesterday have I been able to configure MMS, Email and Internet.

Yes this is the folder where MMS would be along with Text and Outlook. Sounds like MMS was accidentally deleted as a new email account was being entered. You may have to hard re-set your device to get it back' or hit NEW at the bottom left, and enter MMS as the new account.

Does your camera have MMS option?
fixed! (well pretty much)
Hi All
Many thanks for your responses!
I tried installing your CAB file Rod and it seems to work a treat - the MMS menus and folder are there now and I can send and receive picture messages - result! When I restarted I lost them again though but I can live with that, I'll just install the CAB after each restart.
hotdog53, yes the camera had the option of sending via MMS but when I chose that absolutely nothing happened. Seems to be alright after the CAB install though.
Thanks again for your help!!

Hi Claire
Great to hear U has some measure of success. I can't remember offhand exactly which folder I installed the cab in, not sure if that would make a difference. Maybe U could try it in different folders. I have restarted my phone numerous times since and have had no problem. Maybe someone else could help out.I am now offshore India and had to leave my phone onshore, so no access to it for a few days.
Good luck
Rod
