Hi all,
Before upgrading the ROM to the official HTC WM 6.5, I backed up all of my text messages using PPM Backup. When I finally restored them afterwards, I found that the message threads have been put together by WM completely out of order.
Essentially all messages sent by me are listed as "most recent", with the messages sent by the other person are "less recent".
This wouldn't be a big deal if my message threads were 4-5 messages long, but when they're more like 300 messages (say, between me and a girlfriend), I would have to flick through page after page of my old messages just so I get to one of her most recent messages.
Is there any fix for this? Any program that can restore them better? Anything at all?
Thanks,
WM (no relation)
hi guys,

There's one friend who I text regularly, and I'm not sure how many messages I have from her, but today something strange happened.
I received a message from her and it looked like it came from a different number because it started a new thread. Then I realised there wasn't another thread, and for a moment I thought I'd lost all the messages. But then I noticed they still appear on the TouchFlo.
When I tap any message from her before the first message of the new thread, it opens the message in the old style (i.e. as if threading is switched off).
I thought maybe I'd accidentally moved all the messages. But they don't appear in any other folder, and they are definitely in my inbox, which I confirmed with Jeyo Mobile Companion.
So, shall I just continue with the new thread and ignore the last messages? Is there definitely a limit? Is there any other threading software?
I have never heard anything like this before.

Haven't heard or experienced anything like this. Usually you have a max limit of approx 50 sms in your inbox (not conversations with someone using threaded sms, but actual sms from diffrerent people), but it shouldn't behave like yours.
I'm assuming this female is (very) close to you and you do not want to delete previous sms? I would delete them and use new thread and see if same thing happens
Hi there, just by habit I never delete any of the threaded text messages to and from my girlfriend, and so there must be over well 2000 in the conversation.
The same thing happened to me once, I just assumed there was a limit on a conversation size, and so it started a new one. It's a shame how it deals with the old one though, stopping the threading. I sync'ed all the old messages using Microsoft myphone and deleted it, just leaving the new thread.
Access old thread?

This exact thing has just happened to me, also texting the girlfriend ... She has told me things that i have probably agreed to and since forgoten, is there any way to look at the old thread as the touch flow only allows me to go back 25 messages from all contacts. They must still be there as some of them are still in the 25 touch flow messages, unless it has its own cache?
FYI my best estimate would be some where in the region of 1000 - 1500 sms, double that with replies so is there a thread limit of 2500 or 3000?
Any ideas?
SMS limit
Exactly same happened to me this morning...I am using the HTC 6.1 WWE Rom on my ATT tilt.
No thread of older sms but they are in my inbox (confirmed by disabling the threaded sms). Mine too have 3000+ sms on my tilt.
Do any one get the fix/work arond for the sam to see the older sms in threaded form.

Approximately 2740 sms in a sigle thread as i met that situation. any ideas??
I haven't found any similar problem anywhere in this forum or other forums.
Quite a lot of my SMS messages, when sent, bring up the error along the lines of 'SMS FAILED TO SEND', when I know that it did send successfully as most of the time the person replies back as soon as they receive it, which is before that error comes up.
The main problem is the result of that error. The message that was initially sent resends itself more than once, and the maximum times I have been told that it has been received by the person i sent it to is 8, which is just crazy.
I would like to know if anyone can think of a solution to this. I have tried looking for a way to make the HTC just ignore messages if it thinks it has not been successfully sent, but I have not come across anyway of achieving that.
The ROM I am running (as stated under software information) is: Miri WM 6.5 | V12.0 WWE
Thanks in advance. I appreciate any help given.
In my HTC threaded messaging, the display is not in order such that all SMS sent by me is displayed at the top while messages of my recipient's are displayed below, regardless of the order they are sent, that isn't threaded messaging isn't it. Have any of you faced this problem? And how can i go about solving it? I just purchased my LEO today and it's running on 1.66 by default.
Another problem which have already been mentioned by other threads i faced is the shaking screen problem when trying to select text in htc messages or cropping of images, this is especially annoying as it prevents me from copying and selecting text accurately.
I'd appreciate all the help i can get since i am relatively new to the community. Thanks guys!
Search timestamp fix...has worked for me so far.

Thanks
Hey! Thanks so much for you response. Will install the cab and see how it goes!
Thanks thanks!!
Failing that, assuming all your messages are from a backed up PIM?
1)Backup messages.
2)Disable threaded SMS
3)Delete all messages
4)Close / kill the messaging app
5)Restore messages
6)Enable threaded SMS and wait (maybe a long time depending on how many messages) while it re-threads them for you.
nope, my messages were all 'new' messages meaning they were sent and received on while using the phone after unboxing. i didn't store any backup messages on it. But it's working alright so far, but the screen is pretty annoying as i'm making plenty of typo errors, either i type "too fast" (which is slow in my opinion) and then it somehow register other key presses or not even registering any. I've already installed the cab V3.3 for reduced sensitivity and it doesn't seem to be working?
messaging problem still need help
hey guys, the whole display and layout of my threaded messaging is still screwed. it makes things really inconvenient and i have to do alot of scrolling when i have a considerably large amount of history of texts. i need help and the timestamp cab didn't work. is there a registry fix for this? the reason why my messages are sometimes positioned below my recipient i suspect is the difference in time. i believe it is due to either mine is faster or slower and that determines the position of the messages. isn't it supposed to be all according to my phone's time? i am puzzled and dismayed that a core function of the phone is screwed up.
pls help me with this guys. thanks so much.
Hi everyone.
I am using Handcent on my Legend for my text messages. Yesterday when I got a text message, Handcent gave out a general error and had to close. When I re-opened it, ALL my text mesages were gone!
I was looking into HTC support pages, and they claim that when automatic backup is ON, it automatically saves settings and sms messages which are restored after doing a "Restore to fActory settings". I'm a bit sceptical of this, and before I blow away all my settings for nothing, wanted to know if anyone tried this, and if it actually worked...
Cheers
I tried this two times. Once it works, secondly not! I have then no message in Message application, but there were my smss in sms widget on destkop!! Really strange. So I installed afterwards some sms backup applications and finally I recovered and backed up cca half of my 2000 sms.
After two years with windows mobile i started to hate it and was looking forward to android, but after this experience, I wanted to throw the Legend with Android out of the window.... my fault was that I trusted to HTC BACKUP, which let me down. I should make an additional backup of sms when I was recovering phone. Hope this helps .
It has... I'll give it a shot then. I have after this experience installed sms backup....

Hi all,
I use a Nexus 4 to send large umber of SMS messages using an application called "Group SMS Pro"
This worked perfectly for a couple of months. In the last week though, I've suddenly started getting a message stating:
"group sms pro is sending a large number of sms messages"
Which then asks me to allow each message individually. this would be annoying enough, but this seems to cause the application to fail to send to all but the first user.
What's worse I'm getting this message if I try to send large numbers of SMS messages using the regular messaging app. Or any other messaging app. So this is not app secific.
I have no idea why this started suddenly. I upgraded to 4.4.2 OTA when it first appeared last year and have root. Like I say, it was working perfectly up until about a week ago.
I've done some reading around and it appears that there was a pointless limit put in which users cannot change in 4.0 or somewhere, and there are plenty of guides to (and even apps for) disabling this for all versions prior to 4.4, but nobody seems to talk about this on 4.4.
Should I even be seeing this at all? Was it removed? How do I fix it? Is my best bet to downgrade to 4.3? Or would a custom rom be a better idea?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

I know in some roms there's a setting where it allows so many sms messages via apps.
