Database Users

Dont backup/restore SMS messages when you update the system

I made the back of my all database incl. SMS and email accounts, with the program Pocket Backup Plus.
Then I updated the system to the 4.00.11 (also testes 4.0016) from 4.00.05.
After that I restored SMS database (the porccess was made without errors or any special message, everything seems ok) but:
I can send the SMS but I cannot receive the SMS any more!!!!!
No way.
After the hard-reset (fresh 4.00.16 ROM) all started to work OK. I can send and I see received SMS sound alerts. Of course in this version of ROM the device is not wakeing-up if SMS received, only sound alert is.

I can verify that the above info is true.
Ever since I've upgraded my T-Mo xda to WM2003, the restored SMS database affect the receipt of new SMS.
I have flashed my ROM more than 16 times with all released and many cooked variants of the WM2003, from the original Ozone beta to the latest T-Mo .16 version. In all cases, if you use Pocket Backup Plus to restore, make sure to UNCHECK the restore of the email databases, if you still want to receive SMS's.
Apparently something that the Sprite Backup restores, screws up the SMS database and all new SMS get lost or stuck somewhere in your phone, although the network operator thinks that the message is sent to your phone sucessfully.

Yes my friends, i've mentioned this in a previous post. It doesnt matter which ROM versions you change to any backup useing Pocket Backup will corrupt the XDAs mail databases. $hit happens!!
On the other hand does anybody know of backup software which will backup SMS and mail databases?

SMS reception problem

Hello,
I have just returned account to me that for some time, I do not receive any more the sms which are sent to me. On the other hand, those which I send arrive well at destination.
Impossible to find since when... nor after which installation... But SMS sends it functioned!!!
I have just made a test to validate the SIM cards, by crossing 2 SIM cards :
The SIM card of my QTEK receives the sms on a "traditional" mobil phone, and the SIM card which received the SMS does not receive them on the QTEK ===> problem with QTEK (SPV M1000).
Would somebody have an idea? Something to check? ... or better: somebody has a solution ? :wink:
ROM : 1.58.00FRA
Radio : 1.07.00
ext ROM : 1.58.06
Thank you for help.

My bet would be that you restored from a backup made by Sprite Backup just before the SMS failures bagan. Correct?
If so, it is a well-known bug in Sprite Backup. To fix it you will have to Hard-Reset your device and restore everything EXCEPT your inboxes.
The new version (3.0) of Sprite Backup has solved this problem.
HTH!

Hello BRosenow,
I think you'r right. The problem began after a retore with sprite backup.
As you it advised it I have just made a backup, then a restore without the inbox of sms... but the problem is always the same one!
Thank's

I believe I had to restore without ANY inboxes. HR again and then make sure you can still receive SMS, then restore everything except email and again verify that SMS works.
If you do a search in this forum for Sprite Backup, you may get additional suggestions.

Thank you very much BRosenow, i try all your solutions ...

Hi,
I restored my sprite backup without any inboxes ... and now it's OK ....
i can receive and send SMS without problem !
I would like really to thank you BRosenow.

It is entirely my pleasure. I'm glad I could help!
If you purchased Sprite Backup, you should be able to download ver. 3 and use your existing registration number to authorize it. Ver. 3 does backup and restore your Inboxes correctly.

Still thank you for your advice... which I will take like the precedents!!!

i think one reason why there's no more backup utility for universal is that it has now persistent storage (that is if you run out of battery, your data will still be there). this applies for all wm5 devices

I have used Sunnysoft Backup Manager on 2003 and also on WM5 on the BA. Only thing i have found is that it doesnt seem to back up contacts, calendar and emails. Maybe an email to their support will sort that out.

MMS inbox ?

hi guys, can any of you help me and let me know how to get MMS INBOX back? I have upgraded to the newest Chinese Dopod ROM, I have installed the O2 MMS cab that I usually use on the English ROMs to show the MMS inbox back, but it installs but it still does not show up on the Chinese ROM.
Is there any reg hack I can do to make the MMS inbox appear again?
Or is there any other cab files out there I can try to make it show up?

Restoring the mail database after a ROM upgrade causes the error you described. When I restored my SMS/email with SPB Bakcup after I upgearded to AKU2 I found that my MMS inbox was missing.
I tried to find a way of fixing it, but honestly? nothing works. So I made a full backup, backed my sms with Jeyo. Restored everything BUT the SMS from spb backup, and used Jeyo to restore them.

I haven't restored my mail database with the backup as I do not keep messgaes anyway, so that is not my problem. As I said the cab file works perfect with the English ROM, just this Chinese ROM I cannot get the MMS inbox back.
PLEASE ANYONE?
I am willing to do it manually via registry if someone lets me know how

Have you tried launching the camera application, taking a picture and use option Send | Send by MMS?
This "unhid" my mms folder (hidden by latest O2 rom on my Exec) - no idea how or why :wink:

nope doesn't do it for me but thanks for trying anyway

try this
try this file

tried that, didn't change things but thanks for trying to help anyway. I think the main problem is the Chinese ROM system files are located in different folders to that of the English ROM therefore these cab files don't work. I think the only way is to do it manually, but I do not know the registry settings to do this unfortunately

Will someone be kind enough to post 'SMSBackup_PPC.cab' file

Hi, thanks!
It installs ok but when I run it, it gives me an error message 'You cannot run this program on this device'
I guess it's only meant for Atom Exec. I'm trying to run it on Atom.
Anyone have any idea how to backup SMS on WM5 devices? I used to use Jeyo Mobile Companion 1.1 on WM2003SE and it works very well but it is not compatible with WM5. Anyone have any other software? SPB backup & Sprite backup, does a 'full' SMS/email backup and they are not able to restore individual SMS. Looking for one that can backup automatically and can restore individual SMS, that would be great!
Thanks!

Try Jeyo Mobile Extender for MS Outlook 2003. This is a PC program, that will be "embeded" into MS Outlook and will synchronize your SMSs like a mail folder in your MS Outlook through Activesync.

I use this program to backup and restore SMS... It was for Dopod 818 on WM2003, but works without problems on WM5 and Atom... You just have to create a folder called "Storage" or "Storage Card", then backup your sms there by choosing the path inside the program... Then you can move the .sms file that was created where you want to keep it safe, and copy it back into one of the two folders I wrote before when you want to restore your messages.

Yup, it's working

but guys, u c.. jeyo sms backup from atom exec is much betta than all of these coz, it allows to backup even wen u have folders created.. no progy hav been able to do this, i've checked lots.. can somebody pls find a way to run it on the atom??

Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.0 for Outlook
Dear Appu
Jeyo Mobile extender is an ad on to Microsoft Outlook and it syncs the SMS folder into the outlook. So even if you have a hard reset it will be in the outlook for u to sync back the SMS folder into your ppc. Works for WM05 and i'm using an Atom. , only thing missing is MMS to be backed up. :evil:
check it out. psst this is a secret almost everyone know.. :twisted: the crack is also available theheheeheh. :twisted:
check this out for more info on jeyo http://www.jeyo.com/index.asp
cheers

nope sultan.. it doesnt bak up folders i've created.. folders which can be created wen i want under the inbox folder... only jeyo sms backup which comes with the atom exec rom has been able to do it for me yet.. but it doesnt work on the regular atom rom.. and cant even use the exec rom coz of its grafics driver somehow gettin reseted with drain of battery or, removing the battery.. :?

Nice program. Got all my incoming messages fine, but all sent items are blank?
It's also mostly in a language I don't have fonts for I think! Lots of squares on the screen! Still, simple to use - menu is in English (Lucky for me! )
Thanks for posting it!

Hey, can I view the messages on PC when I back them up? How do I make sure I have ALL the messages backed up?
