Hello,
My screen decided to crack for no real reason. Honest.
So o2 being the lovely people they are are sending me a new phone (exec).
It arrives tomorrow and I have to send my broken one back.
Quick question needing a quick fix (ie next hour or so...?!?!):
I would like to save / download my texts before sending the phone back. Now I know there have been loads of posts like this, but I am at work and simply do not have the time to trawl through the posts to find the answers. :roll:
Can anyone take 5 mins to tell me where I can find a simple to use, free program that can save my texts? Please???
Thanks

try spb backup. I use this and THINK it does text messages.
or copy each text message to notepad
orsend each text message to a friends phone
or try sprite backup
I had same problem and for me SPB didn't work correctly Soo, I'm not impressed with SPB.
It can backup texts and all the rest, but have some problems restoring them ;(
I've tried 4 different backups
Good luck!
Cheers!

Hi,
Sprite have just released a new version of their software (v5.1) and solves alot of issues with wm5.
Might help.

Spb Backup (latest version 1.1.2) works perfectly for me - no problem whatsovere backing up and restoring sms text messages. emails, etc.
Thanks everyone I'll get onto it!
got my new qtec 9000 but it seems slower than my XDA exec, whats up with that????
anyway is there a way to backup everything!!!
so say i need to hard reset i can just load my backup and it will put all my progs, reg hacks etc settings all back to the way it was before the hardreset? without having to do any reinstalling etc????
I know it's probably too late by now but just in case...
You could use Jeyo Mobile Extender which is an add-on for Outlook - this will sync all your SMS messages into Outlook - it's on the top of my list for software to buy in the future the demo is fully functional for 14 days i think and should do exactly what you want.
Cheers,
Smiffy.

SPB does this perfectly, and i have had any problem with its usage, even during beta. others prefer sprite... whatever turns you on.
for SPB, yes, you can do a full back up, completely hard reset your device, and do a full restore and walla back to original condition, only question is, why did you hard reset it if you want it back to original condition.
so i have created:
1. virgin device - settings, tweaks, hacks and over bare bones device, with absolute essential software installed, registered and licensed such as Resco, SPB backup and other mission criticals.
2. perfect device - all desirable applications, settings, folder and software preferences, licensed, registered and running, but no active sync
3. two backups automated per week so that if i accidentally drop it, or do something stupid like dodgy software, I have a choice of 4 restore points (last two backups, perfect or virgin) depending on what i want.
hope it helps.
great info mte!
i need a backup coz my first xda exec had to be returned due to dead cam light, my current qtec one wont active sync until iv done a hard reset so m guessing its not liking something iv done, plus thats going back as iv noticed the camera has around 30 dead pixels.
hwever if i make a bacup of my device now will it also take the problems with it? ie the activ sync problem?
oh and i ant decide wether i like the silver or black qtec 9000 whats ur guys thoughts? currently on a black one with red keyboard leds
oh and if u aint noticed iv got a brand new imate k jam for sale incase anyones interested

Check out www.Efficasoft.com I just remembered I was using one of their applications to monitor my data usage. I checked their site quickly and they have an SMS counter. Not sure about minutes. But I only took a quick look.
Hopefully this is what you were lookin for.
naa that one is a reatil app.
Get BatteryStatus, it will count for you and is freeware.
@ Knockz , sms counter is for Smartphone and @Radimu,I think BatteryStatus is meant for battery :O
BatteryStatus - http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_iM_cs.htm
It does: SMS, Data, Minutes. It also shows battery, remaining memory on storage card & device, and more.
It works on my 8525 w/WM6.
oh yes it does count but unfortunately I can not reset it...I would like that it counts on monthly basis because I want to know how much I am being charged every month for my usage
Dig a little deeper...it actually does reset on a monthly basis. You tell it the hour and the day of the month that you want to reset and it resets the counter for you.
Only problem is that there is conflict with Sleuth255's SIPchange software and freezes up my 8525 WM6. Can't figure out why and make both programs work together. So, I opted out of the BatteryStatus program for the ability to use pocketCM keyboard. I wish I could have all the functions!
hang about a minute...
here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297775 is a program to define the default sip hope this helps, i don't get any conflicts/incompatabilities

Hi!
Sorry if this is not the right sub forum. I am trying to look for a program for my trinity wm 6 that can transform our sms system to a chat style ( i.e. iphone like) I have tried pocketcm and threader program.. but they cannot replace the quickness and reliability of the native windows sms program.. can anyone point me to the right direction? thanks before...
SMS Chat Style
Hi,
I use the program shogunmark rip from a treo (I think).
Works great.
Is this any different or better than Codyppc's threaded SMS?
Search on here for IMSMS. You will be amazed what that can do.
WB
IMSMS looks very snazzy. I may have to give that a try! Thanks for the heads up!!

codyppc's doesn't work reliably. Don't know about this one but it probably has the same problems since they were ripped from the same device and hacked to WM6.
Hmm, I had immediate issues with IMSMS and subsequently went back to Codyppc's. Perhaps I should mess around with IMSMS some more, but I really haven't had an issue with Codyppc's app.
Had problem with IMSMS...cannot receive sms at all.
wm6 threaded is better, buthas small bug. When you are typing a message, you cannot see what you are writting, because the keypad cover it up.
Where I can find Codyppc's threaded SMS?
http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=139379
Hi guys.. have tried all the apps above and i find that threaded is actually really good! BUT one thing that's really annoying and almost makes it unussable is that using the trinity when u write a msg in the chat window.. the line's get completely covered with the SIP and you don't know what you're writing... is there a way to hack this program? or has someone did it already? i went back using pocketcm's sms and whenever i send a msg.. have to exit out of pocketcm and back to to windows messaging for the msg to be delivered.. o you guys have the same problems with the two apps? i can't believe that our wm devices can't do iphone style sms without a glitch..
I encountered the same probelm with you bluesky3012......now I just using standard message application.
In personal, I like palm messaging so much...but as bluesky3012' said...it has bug
It isn't a "bug". That is the way it works. It wasnt designed for our phones. It is a RIP from the PALM phone and the Palm phones have a different display method than ours.
so there's no way of having a threaded sms with no glitch in our trinity? so sad.. i'm sticking to pocketcm for now but it tooks up almost 5mb of memory if i just minimize the apps..

Actually, it has lots of other bugs. So unreliable when sending and receiving.

I only had one issue using the threaded sms app on a device it was built for (700wx) and that was with duplicate messages being sent out. A fix was released, but it wasn't directly related to the threaded sms application.
Now that it has been ported to other WM5/WM6 devices, some have encountered issues which isn't surprising considering how much hacking Palm did with the OS in the Treos.
I use the WM6 version pulled from a WM6 Treo 750 on my Mogul and I don't personally have any issues with it. I do know that others do though.

Might wanna remove your attachment. XDA has a zero tolerance policy on WAREZ and it will get you banned real fast...
Here is a great cab I used back when I was on wm6.

Hi there Genuis'
Unfortunately I have a problem with my HD2, short and sweet any texts over 160 characters long don't send. I've tried both the 1.48 ROM Upgrade, the 1.66 ROM Upgrade and any other updates HTC have released.
I also sent my phone back (though the engineer only noted down one problem, so I included a sheet with the problems in detail), and HTC out right ignored the sheet.
So I'm asking you, is there any way for this to be fixed, or is it my phone (Radio, etc). I've tried the SIM in another phone (when the phone went back), and I was able to send a 1100 character text (yeah, I know, long hehe).
So is this something in the ROM, do I need to MTTY my phone? And if I do need to MTTY my phone, can I remove Hard SPL after? I don't particularly want my phone to have unofficial software on if it goes wrong again, HTC will charge me big monies, and seeing as I'm 14, my mum would go absolutely mad and with good reason.
Many thanks dudes and dudettes/dudesses.
Jake
grab a registry editor, (I'd recommend ceregistryeditor on the pc)
browse to
hkey local machine/software/jataayu/messaging
check the values in the following two keys march what I have.
Max7BitText 300
MaxUnicodeText 402
hope this helps
Nope
Unfortunately my values don't match, but interestingly enough they are higher, for Max7BitText anyway.
MaxUnicodeText : 402
Max7BitText : 918.
Is this because I'm on a different ROM to you?
Forgive me, I'm more of a Windows Tinkerer than a Windows Mobile Tinkerer eheh.
If I can't get it sorted in an hour I'll have to phone up HTC to get it picked up on Thursday or something.
Thanks again,
Jake
Surely calling the person is quicker than sending a 1100 (!!!) character SMS?? lol...
I've not had any issues but my txts are never longer than one message - if they are I email or call instead...
True but you know...
And my girlfriend's dad got the HD2 too, recommendation from me, and when I went over there 2 weeks or so ago he let me use his, and he's had his since ooh January, and it worked fine.
Oh and sorry I did forget to say, my phone will work fine for a week or so after a ROM Upgrade/Hard reset, then screw itself over again.
Real bloody annoying.
Thanks,
Jake
i have HTC hd2 probelm too!

I have the same problem as you do. And I also found those same values in my registry as you did (402, 918).
Happen to be using a Dutch rom? Cause I do. The official latest dutch rom without any other updates (there are none)
how weird. sorry using my hd2. I'm using a HTC stock ROM, 1.66. I might try entering those values and seeing if it makes a difference.
Or maybe we have duff phones, with bad chips? if 500,000 were shipped, just think, not every single one will be perfect.
Who knows hey?
Jake,
i can't send messages with more than 918 characters. thats 6 sms, and i cant send anymore than that at a time.
anyone else got this problem?
That's a registry setting.
Download a registry editor and have a hunt, I have a feeling it is "Max7BitText" setting in HKLM\Software\Jataayu\Messaging.
Change this setting to something higher and you might be able to send more texts.
Could you please tell me if you can send texts over 160 characters?

I did change these values, but they dont seem to have fixed the problem for me.
yes i can send texts with more than 160 characters no problem
I'm a fan of long text messages, so I feel your pain... in fact, my text messages are so long they went back in time and sank the Titanic ; ) I'm on the standard HTC 1.66 WWE ROM, and I don't have the problem. My Max7 and MaxUnicode values are 918 and 402 respectively. Good luck.
what about lagging issues?
hey,
i solved my problem.
really, i rarely send a message with more than 918 characters. 3 or 4 sms at the most.
but i have 2 issues which have, the one above and the lagging.
ive reluctantly installed zenyees disable htc messaging thing. I didnt really want to do this because i really like the interface of the htc sms thing. but enough was enough and ive reverted back to the windows messaging thing. which i was used to from the x1. if you havent used anything other than the htc messaging, then going to windows looks like a step back, its basic. but does the job well. like the saying goes, get the basics right and all else will fall into place.
unfortunately htc havent really got all the basics right here.
Phoned up HTC earlier, spoke to a really nice guy and he's getting my phone in for it's second Repair. Said it could be the antenna or the BIOS, which they will happily check.
Let's hope it goes well this time.
And hmm, I'm a bit reluctant to go back to Windows Mobile Messaging, but I'll try it if this doesn't work.
The guy said that if it doesn't work send it back and they'll push for a replacement phone.
HTC Support = Abso-flipping-lutely great!
HTC sent me an email saying that i cant send sms-es with more than 918 characters and suggested I emailed instead. Which is a valid point but some people dont regularly check their mail so sms is the best option to contact those people....
well another reason not to use the HTC messaging facility.
great when it works, but a carrier pigeon is better when it doesnt.
Hello all, I have a big issue with this tilt 2 and that is the sms sent and pressing "X" to go back in the inbox of sms messages, it lags for a good 10-20 and sometimes the whole screen would freeze up because of this.
So I recently bought a tilt 2 and the seller told me he flashed it to a new rom which whenever I turn the phone on, it says Energy Rom so does anyone have a solution to this sms sent lag other than deleting all text messages daily, please help!
Thank you all in advance for your time and suggestions!
Sending a TXT isn't instant... it takes a little bit to log in, transmit, and finish sending the TXT message.. that is most likely the 10-20 sec of "lag" you are experiancing... I use the Energy line of roms myself... and I feel they are the best over all roms out there... period.

And it has nothing to do with the crappy htc sms client? come on it isn't normal that you have to wait 10-20 seconds when you send a sms.

I'd have to agree. A SMS is about 1/7th of a kilobyte and a kilobyte is practically nothing. Sending a SMS doesn't cause a lag. I've been sending SMS since 1998 and WM wasn't even an option back then. It's all Microsoft and their crap OS.
I have to agree, it is the crappy htc sms client to blame, so I'm guessing noone have found a solution to this yet? Have you guys tried to hotfix from htc site?
I owned the tilt 1 and there was no lag at all in sms.
Ok, this is going to sound stupid but I'm not familiar with these types of ROM, such as Energy Rom. Is that the same as Manila 2.5? Or are they completely different?

Its hard to belive that you guys are gaetting that much lag,im running stock everything WM6.5,ive checked speeds with various people and the most i get is 5seconds of lag.
of course if i have running apps,and im not overclocked it hesitates a little..

What Exactly Do You Need Help With?
Maybe I Could Try To Help You.
I am attempting to change the interface on my tilt 2 to android or something else so the sms in threaded mode won't lag and plus im tired of the WinMo appearance. =)
Thank you for your time!
Hi I have the same problem as you and it drives me crazy. tell me if im correct: You are complaining about the fact that after you press x to close a threaded text conversation it lags getting back to the inbox. On mine everything changes back to the inbox except for the top of the screen and then it just sits there till it eventually goes bqck. Your not reffering to how long it takes for you friend to receive the text, correct? Ive tired installing the most current sms program from htc that was taking from another phone and although it looked much niicer and had some cool features it didnt work right and i had to switch back. Maybe somone reading this can suggest something. It sdriving me crazy. as far as changing from the windows look which either you mean what they call titanium which is that homescreen where you have everything in alist and you can scroll up and own through it or do you you mean what they call touch flo or sense where you move along the bottom of the screen through tabs? either way i would highly recomend spb mobile shell which will make your phone similar to android layout. It works great and is reqally easy to customize everything. or at least touch flo/sense with what they call cookies home tab which helps you customize your home screen. Let me know whcih one you have and which one you want and ill help you. I dont know how to program but i do know how to use the phone well, and customize it thanks to all the developers here who provide us with so much to do it with.
@ swaters3, yes that is exactly the probably with sms, it takes forever to go back to inbox screen and it freezes up. I'm not should what layout I have but its WinMo and the previously owner changed the rom the Energy Rom, if that matters. As for the Android layout, I heard I can do a dual boot where I can keep both WinMo and Android on the tilt 2. I was thinking, if I can boot to android that the sms will function right. As of now, I am still stuck with tilt 2 lagging sms threaded mode. Frustrating.
Do you hava a lot of sms or e-mail saved on the phone? That can cause it to bog down.
Yeah, but I originally owned the tilt 1 and had over 4,000 text message and encounter no problem sending out text messages.

i wish someone could help us with the lag, lately ive just learnt to be patient, though that is a little ridiculous. There is a sms program from htc (thecompany that makes the phone) that is much nicer and did not have the lag. I did have some other issues but maybe it will work for you. Search in xda for updated htc sms app and see if you can find it. as far as anroid goes I am trying to get mine to work properly and have still not got it to connect to sprint. Its a work in progress and not everything works so i dont think you would want to switch to it permanently. Give it a shot though its very cool and gets better every few days. As of know I think the camera is still not working but most everything else is. I would recomend spb mobile shell. watch some videos on youtube although you will be able to customize it yourself completely. Youll need to play with it to figure out how to customize it but its pretty easy just drag and drop type of stuff with anything on the phone. It looks and works like android but youll still be suing windows mobile. Its works great for me and i wouldnt be able to keep this phone if not for it. I hope that helps.
