SMS msgs getting wiped after SOFT reset

Only recently got my T-Mobile branded Vario direct from them brand new and I've noticed that after I perform a soft reset all my messages, regardless of whether they have been read or not, get wiped.
I've checked Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Outbox and Sent Items folders and they are all empty! I can absolutely assure you that I did not delete any of the messages myself.
Thinking that I might of had some conflict with another piece of sofware I had installed I decided to perform a hard reset and get everything set back to T-Mobile factory defaults. After all the Extended-Rom branding stuff got installed I decided to leave the phone exactly as it was, no tweaking of any settings, no installing any extra apps, no active-syncing, no nothing - a fresh factory reset!
Then, I sent another text message to the Vario. It arrived and after I read it and confirmed that it was indeed in the Text Message Inbox folder I quit out of the message app and perform a soft reset. Guess what happened after it restarted? Yep, the text message has miraculously disappeared
Anybody else seen this happen?

Anyone care to comment? Please reply even if your text msgs DON'T get wiped as I'd like to find out whether it's normal or not.

not got a T-mobile ROM, i'm using the O2 one (and now the updated version) and have never lost text messages from a soft reset (only a hard reset)
Sry i cant help further

just started happening to me and i been using the 2.17 rom.. i noticed this yesterday it deleted like 5 msgs but i got my other ones there so i was like WTFD?

I've just had this on a Universal (Orange M5000) with the latest Orange ROMs.
Prior to this, I suddenly had days and days of delivery notifications come flooding in, although this may have been an issue with either Orange or another network provider.

hi for me its not the txt messages but all new files that is created on the sd card gets deleted an all deleted files reappears after a soft reset
m really bugged
if ne 1 knows whats the problem pls help me
thanks

Loosing SMs messages.
If you have received a SMS message and soft reset before closing POutlook then I have found that you do loose the message.
By closing, I mean really closing it - not just pucsing the X button.
Likewise if you have deleted a message or moved it then the message(s) come back.
It seems to be that POutlook doesn't commit the changes to it's database until you close the app - or switch accounts.

That certainly seems to be the case with me, I was having trouble syncing with activesync, just dying each time I tried so in the end I hit the soft reset, I'm fairly certain that I still had outlook running at that point.
Actually, thinking about it, there were two batches of sms msgs, and I did end task on outlook after the first, so I can maybe understand that the second lot could be lost, but not the first?
Is there any way of validating the system databases?

The problem that I was having, disappearing SMS msgs, seems to have gone away and everything is still intact now even after multiple soft resets.
In case anyone else gets this strange behaviour, I can indeed confirm that POutlook.exe was indeed closed as I had also double checked the running programs list * to ensure no other processes were open that could conflict.
( * Start -> Settings -> System -> Memory ->Running Programs )

bbut also make sure tmail.exe is closed to.. get memmaid ull be suprised at all whats running.. the best thing to do is to use SmartSKey and make that close ur txt message app completelty!

poutlook.exe tmail.exe and sMSNserver.exe/pMSNserver.exe ...if these are open chances are ur sms/mms may be wiped after a soft-reset i make sure to sync my phone to pc and use jeyo outlook companion b4 a soft-reset

Reminders in Calendar /Tasks stopped working

on my XDA Exec (O2 ROM 1.30.162 WWE for last 2 months) these stopped working about 2wks ago....
Yes, in settings>personal>sounds and notification I have set for playing sounds etc etc etc...and yes, I set reminder when creating new appointments /tasks...
So...any idea why no longer working?????

It's a known "feature" of this OS. Use search for this problem with suggested solutions. None of these solutions worked for me (on my T-Mobile USA MDA).
I had to Hard Reset to get my notifications back. But I lost them again within 2 weeks. I will hard reset again whenever I get some free time.

When I ran into this same problem I also tried a couple solutions, MemMaid didn't work for me and I screwed up my device (lost the ability to ActiveSync) when I ignorantly deleted all sorts of stuff using the Scarey Bear Check Notifications tool. What did work for me was the trial version of SKTools, it has a delete duplicate notifications type tool. If the problem shows up again I'll just purchase SKTools.

I was the same problem a fem weeks ago, and my solutions was program Check Notifications. When I dowloaded this program a readed only about support for WM2003SE, but work on WM05 well.
I deleted automaticky every bad notifications in first time, but nothings happened a and my Qtek was still NO-SOUNDS :-(
I tried delete every RED notifications in check list, and I deleted every old notifications in this list in second time. I was delete this manually! After soft reset my QTEK 'again start talking '
here you have cab file for tring my solution

Great..........worked for me - I just deleted the red reminders twice (for some reason) and it started working again. Must be a corrupt remider or something.
Thanks for the pointers

Just some additional info for future reference.. I downloaded the CheckNotifications.CAB file (thanks for posting!) and removed all duplicates.. but still no reminders..
Eventually, I did the following, and I don't what fixed it but it may help others!
* Using CheckNotifications, deleted all duplicates
* Using CheckNotifications, deleted all references using Calendar.EXE
* Soft Reset
* Deleted Duplicates (again!)
Sync'd via ActiveSync, then whilst connected did the following:
* Removed ALL Calendar entries for the current month
* Entered a test notification
* Waited for the Notify to fire...
Success.
I think it was something to do with corrupt Calendar entry or some sort in my case; either way using the above fixed it for me, so may help someone else reading this in the future. (probably me, when it goes wrong 6 months down the line..!!)

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 problems

Hey everyone,
I've got an issue with my Dutch T-Mobile X1, my SMS messages don't show up correctly. On the SE panel it shows that there are new messages, for example 2 new sms. But when I check the inbox there is nothing new.
I updated the phone yesterday through update service in the hope that it would fix it, beforehand it (the SE panel) would for example say that there 70(!) new messages. But I fear the update didn't fix anything.
Also, messenges that I've sent show up in my inbox? What's up with that?
If I knew a screenshot-maker I could post some screens to better illustrate the problem.

I have the same problem with my X1. The Home-Screen shows one unread sms-message but my sms inbox is completely empty, also the other sms folder are empty.
I have tried the following things:
- unistalled xperia tweak software
- soft reset
- restore sms/mms data from my spb backup file
- send me a new sms and tried to delete ALL
Also I have searched in the registry for a key to change, but I haven't found one.
Could anybody help me?

It looks like it happens only if i start new text msg. If i reply, than it is only in SENT folder.. weird..
--update #2
So i think it's solved..
My SW revision is R2AA006
1. I downloaded XPERIA Tweak 2.0 free software from http://www.cliffords.nu/
(watch which ver. of SW you have before downloading)
2. using tweak tool, disabled "conversation style SMS / MMS"
3. reboot
4. \o/ woot.. sent msg-s are no more in INBOX
well, I guess I didn't Google good enough

maybe this helps you
