is it possible to backup SMS if I am hard resetting, or adding a new ROM?
thanks in advance

You can set it to auto schedule backups too
Try Microsoft Myphone. It's free. Also syncs other standard stuff, like contacts, appointments, etc. I NEVER use ActiveStink anymore.

I'm not sure exactly how or when this happened... but I recently did a hard reset and a restore, I cannot seem to go to my inbox or even send sms from my contacts list.
The icon is still on the start menu but it does nothing.
any ideas?
thanks

Are you using sprite backup?
Try to upgrade the backup software.
i just use the backup utility of active sync.
i'll look into sprite backup thanks.
i ended up hard resetting and just reinstalling from scratch.
too about an hour and a half to reconficgure and resetup my phone.
You can solve this issue..
Just restore your old backup, install Sprite Backup 3 (make sure its not older than version 3) and backup your device using Sprite Backup.
Now, hard reset your device & install Sprite backup, then restore ONLY the SMS messages.
It shall work like a charm 8)
It happened the same to me but after making a backup. I just lost the access to my inbox and tried to send an SMS in the contact itself but noting. Not even receive them. Anyone can help so i cant have to install averything over again. My backup was just perfect ..but then this happened after restoring
Never use Sprite Backup earlier than version 3
I used the XBackup that comes in windows...
Imagination, what backup software you've used to make the backup ?
This case happens when you restore a backup, so did you make a restore?
Yes it hapened after i made a restore. I used Xbackup (the app thats already intaled in windows). I used it for the backup and for the restore. I made restores before and this doesn't happened. But this time i lost the inbox and sms.
aha, seems your SMS reception is dead now!
It happened to me once, when I did a restore. I was forced to hard reset my device
but before the reset, I backed up the entire device using sprite backup, and then I did a hard reset, installed Sprite Backup 3, then restored ONLY the SMS databases. It worked!
But for you, you are not willing to re-install your applications!
I saw a program that fixes this problem. It clears the SMS databases.
after that, you can restore only the SMS part of the backup.
I guess its named SMS CLEAR...
If I find it, I'll send it to you, dude :wink:
Ok thanks. I will try to find it. Hope it works. I will try sprite backup too. thanks
Your most welcome, dude
here I found it, its name CleanMail !
It fixes all the database corruptions in your SMS & wipe all emails & SMS messages, so be sure you have backup of all these databases.
you can get it from here:

First of all thank ezzkht for ur help. I realy thought tha this app will working after reading the forum. But...did't ddid the tric...after udse the app the in box and sms still does't worked. The only improvment that made was appearing in inbox You have a new SMS message, but no luck trying to open. After that i reeintaled the backup and used the app again but still no luck. I have to make an hard reset in the week end and reeinstall all over again and i will use a third party software for backing up. Thanks for the help
Oh am sorry to hear that
Well, its better to do a hard reset, since it seems that SMS databases are hardly damaged!
I advice you to install Sprite Backup 3.. its the best backup software ever!
I wish it will work out smoothly with you.
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeerz :lol:
Solution for missing Inbox SMS Folder (and service)
Hello! I managed a solution to recover the the missing Inbox SMS Folder (and service) from a recovery by ActiveSync. The problem is that when we restore there is an active program that uses that service and therefore it cannot be restored. In my last try I unistalled Webis Mail, unchecked everything in "Today" and made a soft reset. Don't run the Outlook in the PC, if you use Jeyo Mobile Extender because this program acesses the SMS folder in the PDA. Do a restore, and when it finishes it'a all OK again. I was already preparing myself to do a Hard Reset to use SMS again! :lol: By the way what's the best ROM for Window 2003SE ? Thanks.

I am using SPB Backup for full backup. If I upgrade my ROM, there is no option to selectively restore SMS or MMS and surely there is no option to restore call log.
PIM Backup works well, but it does not seem to have an icon in the Programs folder?

hi guys
what backup software would you recommend to use before flashing to another rom ?
I mainly want to back up :
sms
contacts
email msgs and mailboxes
if it could save settings (like for email, mms, connection settings) that would be bonus
I have SPBbackup but it just freezes ...
thanks ....

I second that.
Works wonderfull and you can even schedule a time in the day that it automaticly makes a backup for you.
Also, besides all the stuff you mentioned, you can also make backups of directories you like most (for example you wallpapers)

I use SPB Backup all the time and you have various options. It does do a complete system backup/restore. Yes. you can use PIM Backup, but that only backups PIM type data. I use that, too.
Hi all!
There is a way to backup text messages and, if possible, call logs, between Android and WP7? I'm actually keeping these things backupped in Gmail with SMS Backup + for android, but i dunno any Wp7 alternatives.
Can you please help me to find a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Mauro.

that's fine for backup and restore of text messages and contacts.
it doesn't capture call logs tho, restore is fairly easy, but if you must setup and sync all your accounts first, then restore the backup, then delete facebook (if you use it) then restart and setup facebook again.
for some reason my contacts get all messed up if I don't delete and resync my FB contacts when importing backups
If your looking to copy from android to WP7 etc then that might be an issue, if you can edit the vol files created I guess you could then import them in to WP7 but ive looked at the files and you would need a special program to do it also note that MMS messages lose there content, the message is still there but no content. perhaps that's something that can be fixed in future versions as I think the chap who made it is still trying to work out how WP7 stores it all.
