Message status bug - Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development

My message status keep showing a message that has not read, but all have already been read, how do I reset?
its kind of a bug, that is any file on windows folder that i should delete?

first...you should mention which OS/ROM version you are using.
second...no one reported such problem.
i am sure that you just viewed the incoming sms in the pop-up notification.
go to 'Messaging' and and open the messages view them once each.
if this does not work...you might have messed up your settings or the registry...in which case...a backup of your important files in your phone memory (pictures/contacts/songs etc.) to your storage card or to the pc via activesync and then HARD-RESET your ppc.

Mysterious file appears and cannot get deleted; who can help

The thing is called "MsgQueueDataFileMicrosoft Broadcast Message SMS Protocol (Receive Only)"and is 2.71MB; I have it 7 times so now I have a memory full. How can I kill it?
ignore it. these files are used by OS and are in ROM. u can't delete them and they don't take up any space. ignore and enjoy ur phone
thanks
I'll have to find something else then. I get error messages from applications that want to install through ActiveSync: not enough memory.
solved!
with the old storage <------> programs bar in the memory area

EMail SMS not working

Guys,
First let me say that I not an expert on MDA like most of you guys, but I have been able to follow instructions very well. I did the 2.26 upgrade available from T Mobile last June (2006) on my own. Recently, I used Lokiwiz3a to unlock my phone for using Cingular SIM and even changed EDGE set up from T-Mobile to Cingular. So in short, I can read instruction and follow them successfully. YOu get the idea about my level.
Anyway, I was cleaning some stuff from my miniSD card and removed on folder that contained some Flex mail demo stuff (from MiniSD NOT WINDOWS folder in My device). I did some other cleaning to take some T-Mobile stuff off my device.
In this cleaning, I messed up my mailing. Here is the current condition.
The problem is...
1>When I click either messaging icon or the messaging file nothing happens.
2> When I use send email or send SMS option from contacts, nothing happens.
Here is icons condition..
1> I can see no. of unread email in today screen, but the counter is not showing curent (new information). It is just set at old counter.
2> Email option of Pocket MSN also shows old hotmail counter as above.
3> I can see the messaging icon in Start Menu on Today.
4> There is NO messaging icon in Program folder that opens when you click program icon (Like Setting icon) in Start menu on Today.
When I use File Explorer...
1> Windows folder has "Messaging" file has size 11B with date stamp of 06/09/06.
2> Windows/Messaging folder has all the message files < 1kb (1kb was my message header limit).
3> Windows/Programs folder has no icon or file.
4> Windows/Start Menu folder has the file "Messaging" with size 11B and date stamp of 06/07/06.
5> Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder has no "Messaging" file
Finally general information, my MDA was T-Mobile with 2.26 Rom upgraded and WM5.
Also, another minor issue...I can't see comm manager on bottom right(I think it is cal init tray) of the today screen.
Regards,
Rohit

Unread SMS without title and sender

Hey guys,
today i received my P4350, i backed up my sms from my XDA-Neo with PPCimBackup and restored them onto the P4350...
But now i´ve got an unread mail in my sms folder, without any sender, message text or anything else. the receive time is always the actual time and i cant delete or move it.
has anyone of you an idea how to fix that?
I dont want to hardreset the device.
Greets Mäffjus
Additonal Info: It is running WM6 (by default).
Phantom SMS? Try to connect your device to desktop thru Jeyo Mobile Companion (trial version available at www.jeyo.com) and delete that SMS. Soft Reset.
its not working, ist shows now sms in inbox...i`m not sure why....
Maybe an error in the inbox database? can i edit the file via Hex or windows (XP) editor?
Further, do you know how i can disable the terrible sound when i sent an sms and the windows pops up? i found no entry in the registry.
hey, no further ideas?
easy as pie
just delete your sms/email inbox. It's the: " cemail.vol " In the mobile root directory. It'll be protected so you'll have to use a trick to get rid of it. Credit goes to Arkhipenko over at mobilitysite.com but here's a quick cut/paste of the solution.
"Hi,
I have recently discovered that my cemail.vol file went crazy: the outlook folders became misaligned.
Without much details of WHAT happened, I needed to delete cemail.vol.
It is not a simple thing since the file is constantly locked by some process (no idea which - I tried killing most of them via MemMaid to no success).
Anyway, to cut the long story short, one way to do it is to use...
Mortscript (what else!)
Create a simple script:
Delete "\cemail.vol"
Place a shortcut to this script to a \Windows\Startup folder and reset: you will have a brand new cemail.vol file when everything boots up (at least I did).
Don't forget to delete the shortcut, or you'll have a brand new cemail.vol every time you boot. "

Start Menu just lists "Today" and "coldinit" - system behaving strangely

Start Menu just lists "Today" and "coldinit" - system behaving strangely
I've been using NTS Jaguar for maybe half a year with no problems.
3.08
3.08
02 25 11
10.1.0.811
Then a few days ago the phone started behaving strangely, I would go to turn it on and it would do nothing but a black screen, with the LED blinking green. I'd pull out the battery to restart it. Once I saw the bootloader. Now the Start Menu lists nothing but "Today" and "coldinit" with an application icon. I can open Contacts and Calendar, but Messaging is completely missing from the Today screen, and if I try to send a text message from Contacts, nothing happens. If I press the wireless button, camera button, messaging button, or IE button, it says something about not being able to run or find the shortcut. The contacts and calendar buttons work, though. The latest restart it said "No Service" and then went black. Is it dying? Is there a fix? Is there a way to run programs without the Start menu?
Now it shows "coldinit" and "enrollnot". Is there a way to make a backup/dump of the filesystem so I can reflash it?
"Cannot execute \Windows\StartUp\OmapClock.lnk"
X-Button allows me to view memory, which allows me to find files, and it seems like most things are still there, so I don't get it.
Is there any way to run commands without using the Start menu?
Now it's saying "Storage memory critically low". Is that all the problem is? I got it to sync with Google Calendar but it loaded too many things and filled up memory? The Start menu has calupd, enrollnot, and coldinit as the only possible options.
I can access the files through the USB link, but there are parts I can't copy, like "Databases". I'd really like to backup all my contact information, calendar information, text messages, etc. before I re-flash it. How do I do this?
Also I can't install any programs. The installer just quits.
I just realized that this happened after installing Funambol and configuring it to update with the scheduleworld.com servers.
I can't even reflash it??? It gives me an error:
ERROR [214] : FILE WRITE
The Update Utility can not write the requested file. Please check your Update Utility.

I hard reset it and am now able to copy my backed up files onto it. Then I hope to back them up normally and then reflash with a newer ROM.

You should consider using a backup utility (eg. Sprite Backup) to perform a full backup of the device once you're done setting it up. that way, you have a stable base image to restore from should something like this happen again in the future.
Also, it might be a good idea to sync with Outlook or other local synchronization tools to synchronize your database & PIM information to your PC as an error on the hosted website services could render your online data obsolete & inaccessible.

Yes, that's definitely something that should be recommended to all new users. Since I have a SD card in at all times, a program that regularly backs up all my data in the background to the SD card would be best. If I had known about this a few months ago when I started using this phone, I would have been able to hard reset and restore from the backup right when I ran into problems.

I don't use Windows, so I can't sync with Outlook. I wanted to use ScheduleWorld / Funambol to back up my data and then synchronize calendar with Google Calendar and figure out how to synchronize with Thunderbird/Lightning on my computer, but Funambol apparently is responsible for my phone dying.

Help recovering SMS messages from copy of 'Phone' folder on PC

Hi,I wonder if anyone can help me out - I factory reset my GT-I9505 (stock rom -Android 5.01 Lollipop - never rooted).
The problem is that I would like to recover my sms messages - and I didn't use an app from the Play Store to backup first.
I did though make a copy of my 'Phone' folder onto my Linux desktop. I thought this would give me a complete copy of the phone's internal memory including hopefully the sms messages that I need - and that I could copy the files back to the phone.
I can't see any sms / mms database in this copy - I can't even see any sms database in the phone currently when connected to the computer - probably because phone is not rooted.
I was able to recover a lot of other files and photos from this 'backup' - perhaps the sms database was not permitted to be copied to the PC.
Is there any way that I could restore the messages do you think?
I would be happy to root the phone or use adb or other software - I suppose it all depends on whether I actually have a copy on the computer ( not sure if I have or if it is hidden in some way - I thought Linux would see all the files.
Grateful for any advice you can offer.

Your "backup" consisted of copying files from the internal storage and/or microSD card to your computer. However, text messages are not saved on any of those. They are saved on the /data partition of your device, in an XML file, which you have wiped during your factory reset.
Long story short, your SMS are forever lost. Next time use an app for this.
Thank you
Pwnycorn,
thanks for replying to my query.
I know I messed up but just wondered if there was still a way to recover the sms.
No-one would want a phone that left personal data still on the phone after a factory reset, so I think I knew the answer all along - but sometimes it's worth asking someone with expert knowledge of these things, just in case there is something that can be done.
Anyhow I appreciate you taking the time to reply and advise.
Thanks
Power Ranger
