Hi. I'd need the option to use the old Application for managing the SMS Store.
Does anybody know if it is incorporated in HD2-Roms but hidden, or if the old application from a 6.1 ROM would work on HD2?
Backgroud: I used to created subfolders under Inbox and sent messages as an archive for all SMS I get and send. Every year I export them with PIMBackup and save the resulting file to a safe place.
Now, with the new messaging-application I'm not able to change the folders anymore. The subfolders are still there (I see them in PIMBackup when trying to create a backup), but I can't access them.
Take a look here
Cheers.
Oh thank you.
I must have defined my searches wrong, cause I missed that posting
EDIT: Oh, thank you again. You made me edit the registry and I mistankely changed the Name "System" und HKLM to "e" and I couldn't change it back. :S
Since it is one of the most important keys in the registry, only a hard-reset brought my HD2 back to life.
Well, it was not so bad at all. I have all my data as a backup.
Actually, it was kinda funny to see what the device does when you edit the registry and make a mistake.

How is it done if possible?
Is it possible to backup only Datas and not applications...?
.. need help before doing a hard reset.. Thank you
Sprite Backup can do this. The professional version can back-up directly to a PC.
www.spritesoftware.com.
You do need the pre-release of version 2.3 - the current 2.14 will not work - or rather, if you restore a 2.1x backup, you kill the ability to receive SMS'es.
The pre-release has a few issues, but I have succesfully performed both backup and restore with this version.

well if you only want to copy sms from your xda you dont need any software... you can find all your sms from all folders in folder windows\messaging
they are .mpb files but they are merely text files chang their extensions and there you are...

Mephistodan ---> You are my hero!!! Thanks. Why o why hasn't anyone mentioned this anywhere in my search for a way to backup sms messages!!!
Not perfect, but all I really need is to save sent and recieved sms's ;-)
Thanks again!
I think the is the tip of tips... IMHO!
WM2003/xbackup can handle everything else for backup, as far as I am concerned.
F**K sprite and all other pay stuff for just the sms backup.
Personally, I think MS will (AND should) integrate sms and mms as folders in future outlook versions.

Maybe I was a bit quick to reply... I have some 0 byte files (looks like my inbox), yet I can't find the message of the sms's recieved?
The ones I have sent (and e-mail inbox) appear fine as i rewrite the mpb extensions to text...
so my question is...
where are the inbox files hiding? In the att files (attachments folder)? I don't think so, but mephistodan do you know where the recieved sms's are located, as these are really the ones I mostly would like to keep.

Talking to myself...
Now using dbExplorer (nice prog. -> think I may buy this one) to find the data in the database. The SMS inbox is called something like fldrXXXXXXX and dbExplorer lets you export the db to a *.csv file easy to use in Excel.
Works for me... no more worries that sms data is lost. I guess with some fiddeling, you could easily replace these into the database as well.

SMS / MMS / Email export program
Have you tried this program? http://xpocketpc.feűw.hu
Hi,
Prior to upgrading to 2003SE, I copied the contents of the Messaging folder to my PC and then back again after the upgrade.
My belief that this would retain my SMS messages was wrong - is there any way for me to restore my SMS messages from the MPB files?
I've searched the forum over and over but can only usually find references to Sprite or other backup/restore facilities - they would've been fine for me if I'd used them prior to the upgrade, but since I didn't the only way I'm able to restore is to somehow get them from the MPB files.
Any thoughts?
maybe here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21681&highlight=
or you can try dbExplorer
AllExport
Unfortunately AllExport doesn't work for me. I guess I'll give dbExplorer a punt, but again I don't think that will work as I didn't use it to export them in the first place. All I have are a whole bunch of MPB files.
try google for the format and possible programs to access such files
http://filext.com/
Database gone
Turns out I should've also copied/exported a particular database file from the XDA before I upgraded the OS.
Guess I've lost it now, for whilst I have the messages themselves I don't have the message headers (they are contained in said database).
In a word... bugger.
I've got a similar problem...
I've both mpb and database but they seem to be unbound
I can see header from one side and contents form the other...but no way to recover the complete functionality...
Guess we'va lost everything!
Gone gone gone
Wow, interesting that even preserving the db and the mpb files doesn't help you out.
Strikes me as pretty stupid. Whilst I haven't used them because of my current problem, has anyone been able to export and import SMS (particularly imported to a new installation / fresh upgrade) using one of the existing programs (Sprite, dbexplorer) WITHOUT losing SMS functionality (as Sprite seems to do) or having to manually stuff around with databases? Interested for future reference (as in, if I decide to up to WM2005 when it gets relatively stable).
hi Guys!
I've bought an i-mate jasjar, and I'm selling a nokia n70.
Now the problem is how can i pass the sms from the nokia to the universal...
I don't know how i can do it. The extraction of the text is not a problem, thanks to nokia suite. I thinked that maybe some of you know how i can edit a .txt file and save it with a certain extension to make it readable for the ppc.
Or maybe i can "hack" a backup of the sms editing the text, the date of the sms and other information, but I don't know how to do it.
someone can help me?
PS i also thinked to create some email with the text and sincronize it with outlook, but the email must be "sent" from the autor of the sms and have to have the date of the sms.
PPS sorry for my english
Wouldnt it be easier to type them out on your shiny new thumb-keyboard?? test your WPM skills?
You have a choice of notes, MS Pocket Word, or messaging including email or SMS...
;-)
I know i can do it, but i don't want to make it in this way. I would like to have the possibility to read all my sms in the message board of the pda, I would like to backup all the messages in one file with sunnysoft backup manager and not to have the backup plus the folder of the txt messages...
I know I can solve the problem in a lot of ways, but I'm a little "perfectionist"
Is one of the ways I wrote possible to make?
or is there another similar way?
Vijay? Buzz??
ehm what? i don't know those programs...
Hi Man....
Try Message Saver or Message Storer on N70...extract all SMS in text format and copy it to yr Jasjar.Only thing is that u won't be getting in Inbox..but u will get the full details...viz who had sent,time amd the full SMS..seperated with the dots or dashes...
Secondly connect yr N70 to PC vi PC Suite..use file manager option and open the messages...copy them in text format with details and pass them on to yr jasjar
Thirdly u can try using Oxygen Phone Manager for Symbian Phones
I hope this helps
thank you for your suggestion, but i think i didn't explain me. The problem is not how to take out the text of the message form the sms, for this i can use the nokia suite.
I've already tried Oxygen Mobile Phone (I had the oppisite problem when I passed from the alpine to the n70 and x51v - a big big mistake), and it didn't work. Well, to say the true, i didn't remember if Oxygen can convert the sms into email or not, but the computer where it was is, for the moment, a little "detroyed"...
Damn, if I would know how the sms function on windows mobile (are in only one file, one file per sms, two or more files for every sms...) and the registry keys or other things i could put it manually by myself...
For me it's ok also the indication of how to hack a backup of the message with sunnysoft backup manager or sprite backup...
ok I have an idea: I'll do a copy of the folder windows after an Hr, then i'll do a copy of the same folder after I've received an sms. The problem is that I can't copy the folder because a lot of files are in usa. What can i do?
had the same problem moving from Nokia9500 to M5000.
Just put another, say, pay-as-you-go SIM in the Nokia and forward your messages to the SIM number for your jasjar. End of sorry story!
I can do it also in this way, but it will be nothing more than the solution of the txt file...
it can be a way...
but i would like to solve this problem. With the alpine i had the same problem, and i solved by searching the file of the sms on the nokia, open it with word and edit it with the notepad.
Now, I don't think I'm the first with this problem. So there must be a guy who know what file do I have to take and edit....
searching on this forum I've found a post of vijay wich says that the sms and the other stuff are in the file cemail.vol
But he don't says how to modify or copy it: it is a system file, and if i try to copy it wm says that this file is in use...
Someone can help me?

I've understood only now that you were summoning vijay and buzz
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?
Hi all
got little big problem. I mistakenly deleted one conversation in inbox. It is at this time 780 in/out come SMS/MMS. communication fall into Deleted items folder. Question: How do i undelete these? I was trying to order by name and mark them to undelete but not possible to mark selection on HD2.
Any hints how to undetele generally more messages together? I lost importance of Deleted items folder, if i can't udelete items in it other then one by one.
Thanx,
Ondrej
Same problem here, accidentally deleted some important sms. is there a way to get them back?
Okay, there is a program named Jeyo (manager?/smth like that). - the name is "Jeyo Mobile Companion" I got it, there is possibility to moving messages between folders, i hope that this should help me. But there was still not time to connect a phone and do that There is only thing i am afraid - in deleted folder, is may be not possible to see deference between "sent" and "incoming" messages, hope that there will be some other key that can recognize this, to able to order - mark - move to expected folder.
I let U know once i found working solution.
