Database Users

Messaging program not working

Hi all,
I have a problem that when I try to open a SMS message the messaging progrm shows a blank white screen, this is the case also with all kinds of messaging (MMS, email, ...). I thought that the database might be corrupted so I deleted all my messages to empty the database completely, but I had no luck to get this thing working... the program shows a list of emails, sms but does not open them, also I can't create a new SMS or send or forward SMS messages...
Any solution other than a Hard Reset??????????
Thanks

Any help here??

I am not using GPRS / MMS messaging. Niether I have installed anything new recently. and even my sms-inbox is not overflowing with messages.. hardly 15-20.
Is there an option other than a hard reset?
Please help me. thanks

I had that issue. It was my CEstar, which is a program that displays chinese fonts, that conflicted with messaging. I uninstalled it and everything is fine now. Hope that helps!

i have almost the same problem
I use yahoos go! to get my email. im able to send and receive sms fine.. but when it comes to my yahoo mail.. I can see the suject and the sender but when I click to see it.. the screen is blank but I figured out that if u press the left and right button it shows the nxt message and than goes back to the one u click to read.. that's the only way it'll show the message.. but the problem is that I can create a new message cause the screen goes blank and I cant get out of that.. but one thing I haven't been able to do is view html mail it always shows as just txt.. anyone have any explanation for this??

I have almost the same problem with mms. I download msg and then try to open it. and it is nothing...

wich roms do you guys use?

don't get me started on MMS man LOL

i have a similar problem with some sms and emails. really wierd! it's totally random! never mind though, i'm hopefully upgrading to a trinity this week

I've previously posted instructions as to how to reset corrupted SMS / MMS settings. Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1083243#post1083243

I had nearly the same probles to. My map's were gone.
My solution:
Make a custum backup of everything exept emails. Then a hard reset and replace the backup.
Al your settings for email,emails and SMS are gone but the device works again.

Windows Mobile SMS Problem

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so move the topic if necessary.
A few weeks back I bought an X1(Branded Dutch T-Mobile Version) and I've been having problems with the receiving of SMS'. My Today screen indicates there are new messages, eg. SMS \ MMS: 1 unread. But when I check my messages there's nothing there. I tried to see if it may be a false positive, by having a friend send me a text message, but the number did increase, and the message box was still empty. I tried reseting the rom, which obviously killed the messages, but new messages are still not getting through.
Anybody else experiencing the same problem? Anybody know what is going on? How can I recover the (invisible) messags?
Thanks a bunch

that's weird. uh, really weird. it's either YOU have a bad rom/phone software so better have it checked OR your not looking in your SMS/MMS inbox but your outlook inbox instead.

i had the same prob, someone sent me a text and the phone froze, when i turned it on had that message. the only way i found to get rid of it was to delete the message coversation with the person.

i had the same problem, only a hard reset solves the problem. after the hardreset everythink worked fine. some other people at the german xperia board got the same problem.

I tried to hard-reset to no avail. Deleting previous conversations doesn't help. Even SMS' from unknown contacts stay hidden. When I try to export my messages using PIM Backup 2.8 It shows that I have 2 'Text Messages' folders in the export root. One with the hidden(unread) messages. And one with the visible ones. When I exported the messages and reimported them, they stayed hidden. When I wrote a program to parse the PIM Backup exported file. I could see that the hidden messages get properly exported.
Any ideas?
Hearing that the German based roms have troubles too, could it be a reg setting that is wrong, something with localization? I really hate that I have a Dutch rom.

i had this problem i simply hard reset it and it was gone...if this didnt work then try reflashing the orignal rom

I just ran into the same issue.
Funny is that I did hard reset on not flashed orginall Dutch T-mobile X1 which was working good. Well now it is not :/
Tip for others looking for a quick workaround: use uiggmo light panell to read them. The only way I found so far.
I am flashing mine today. (Before I will hand it over due to case issue).

SMS ID problem on new ROM

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?

SPB Shell Issue with SMS icon on today's screen

Hi:
I bought a XPeria X2 device short time ago and... well. I was expecting more than that but thanks to this forum I have been able to improve its looks and usability. My problem now is (I don't know how neither why) the icon on spb shell today's screen shows that I have one unreading SMS but that's not true, and I don't know how to reset the counter. I tried to re-install SPB Shell again but it didn't work.
Another weird thing is that I cannot see Game's folder accessing trough Start Menu (Windows button) but I can see and browse it if I do that going from SPB Shell Launcher button
Could anybody help me?.
Thank you to all in advance

abouth the sms indicator. when you get an sms and you dont actualy go to application TEXT to se it, you just read the notification witch also includes the content of the sms. it doesnt qualify as reading the sms. you need to do to START\TEXT and click the sms you receaved. then it is marked as already read ant the sms indicator should be empty.
abouth the desapearing games folder don know what could couse it.
hope it helps.

I had the same issue. Every time one particular person sent me an MMS, Mobile Shell saw it as two unread, and reading it would only count for one of them.
The solution for me was to send myself an MMS. Don't ask me what's going on there. Sounds like SPB's database can get a little corrupt.

is this happening in threaded view? i have noticed this as well.
the only way i have been able to fix it is by changing to non threaded view and then changing back and the notification disappears!

I SENT MMS to myself too and i solved problem.

Anid,
I tried your method of changing from threaded view to non threaded then back again, but it doesn't work. Will this bug be fixed or dissapear when using non threaded view?
Lastly i sent myself an MMS, hopefully it doesn't pop up again
Anyone else have a permanent fix to this?
My X2 has the lastest R3 update
