Hi guys!
I've posted before looking for help with backing up and restoring sms messages. The best was SmartPhone Studio - a freeware program which was designed for smartphones but worked reasonably well with XDA.
Well - that program has been tweaked to a T for XDA and works a dream! I got a legit preview - which naturally I'm not free to pass on here, but it really is the biz!
It connects your PC to your XDA through Activesynch - both USB and Bluetooth work really well - making sending and receiving messages much easier if you're at your desk. There are other programs that do this however this is the first program to have easy, swift, and RELIABLE backup and restore options for your texts.
This means that after a full hard-reset you can get your SMS inbox and sent folders back to exactly the way they were. You can also back up the entire folders as text documents in case you prefer to archive them as a continuous document. It is exactly the program I was waiting for and, judging by other posts here I know there'll be many others interested.
It runs long messages together as one continuous message, (though naturally your network will tot up the math!). It has a very nifty interface with your Outlook contacts, and a basic display of system information, memory power etc. The style is very snazzy and professionally-understated.
I have no idea what the price will be but it will be retailed through handango.com I believe. I gather release is within days.
If you like texting, and don't like the idea of losing them after a hard re-set, you'll love Jeyo Mobile Companion.
No, I am not on commission! :lol:
Best regards to all

Hey guys,
First time posting, big fan of xda.
My question/rant is: Why can't windows mobile handle a large amount of texts? Has anyone found a workaround to this?
I use text messaging to communicate with all of my friends, and have hysterical and important texts I get on a daily basis and want to keep around forever.
I just upgraded from a dash to a touch pro, just because the dash couldn't handle keeping my texts around... and low and behold neither can the touch pro. I only have around 4,000 in my inbox (had to clean this out a few months ago) and 9 or 10,000 in my sent. With these hardware specs, it shouldn't be a problem. But why is it? As a long time software developer and from the perspective that I don't want to trash important items for no apparent hardware reason, this makes me irate!
Has anyone had any luck configuring WM to handle this many texts? If not, does anybody else try to keep around their texts? I've been reduced to backing them up and storing them elsewhere...
Thanks for your help!
Can't handle as in, no more room to store them, or as in, it gets laggy.
If lag is your problem, you could just create a folder (or more) called something like "archive" and store everything there. With fewer message in the inbox lag shouldn't be a problem
Are there any applications to replace the standard Windows Mobile SMS application? I find using the WM SMS app with a virtual keyboard to be cumbersome and the UI is less-than elegant.
I'm certainly not asking for iChat, as I'm not exactly fond of how it looks either, but I do want something that will at least let me easily proof-read my texts that are longer than 2 lines without having to stab the up and down arrow with just the right sensitivity as to not make me lose my place.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to make the SMS experience better for WM 6.1?
Thanks,
Nick
You're not the first to ask.
Whilst unfortunately I cannot aid - what I can tell you is that I know several have asked/tried and i've not found a decent solution.
Manila has a different interface for sms these days but its not without its problems, particularly on a landscape device (at least with the rom i have on my x1)
Non-Threaded sms allows for better proof reading but of course its not threaded.
I'm interested in something aswell, unfortunately any of my programming knowledge is useless for such an application
Have you try "Vito SMS"??

Looks like an interesting option, thanks for recommending it. Do you have any screenshots of how it handles long messages (multipart SMSs over 160 characters)? I can't install it on my phone right now nor can I find any screenshots showing that functionality on various search engines.
I'm fine with the Windows Mobile 6.1 implementation of threaded SMS; my main problem lies in the presentation of reading back long messages in a tiny, tiny text area that is impossible to scroll just using touch.
Thanks,
Nick
PCM??
Have you looked into Pocket CM yet?
Hello there.
I'm very mych into modifying and styling whatever gadgets I have.
I recently installed SPB mobile shell on my raphael and I like it alot, however, it lacks a SMS handling tool. I've looked around but I seem to only be able to find one software for this "ViTO SMS-Chat" and I didn't like it very much.
Does anyone know of any other SMS handeling software?
The original handling is OK in it's way to show SMS in list and as chats, however, the skin is not to my liking

Not created yet though
Just wondering if there is one? I did a google search and there seems to be alot of discussions around making one that is sort of like Agendus, but no further development.
I used to use PocketInformant on my TP2, but now I'm using an Evo and there doesn't seem to be an app that is all-in-one.
Anyone know?
Apologies if this has been asked before.
Oh yes please
I'm new to android and a little lost, ten backup progs ive seen my confusing little mind. I too would love to find a program comparable to MS my phone. I don't want to hook up my phone to a PC to sync stuff
I'd be curious to find one as well. I've asked this question numerous times and jsut read an article yesterday from a columnist who bemoaned the same thing. The issue is that you don't start to realize what you're missing until try ot use it.
Titanium Backup is what most of us use. It works great. It backs up all the apps and data and I think phone settings too
I've been using DejaOffice. Nowhere near as full featured as Poclet Informant, but it does sunc with outlooks (Tasks, Notes, Contacts and Calendar).
SnapPea - Android PIM Solution
If you're looking for a PIM tool, I have a new one for you: it's called SnapPea. SnapPea's in Beta and we're looking for feedback from the XDA community.
FREE DOWNLOAD: SnapPea.com
Requirements: Android device, Windows OS
SnapPea has two functions: PIM and content downloads (apps + videos). For Android geeks, it's a nice way to install APKs.
Hi all,
Does anyone know of any software that can keep your SMS synced between two different platforms?
So,
You receive an SMS say on WM and then your perform a sync which, for example, copies your SMS to gmail, you then boot into Android and run that platforms tool to sync with your SMS store which in turns adds the message to androids text system. Then a new SMS is received whilst you are tinkering on Android and you can go through the same process to move that SMS back to WM.
Make sense?
Does such software exist or is this an excuss for me to learn how to code on both platforms?
If so, what would be the best way of doing such a developement to minimise duplication? One dev language for both platforms?
Cheers!
Hmm... good question... and strong challenge, I think.
IMHO, best choice for programming language could be Java... Should work on both platforms and is easily portable...
Ok, thanks for your reply.
I have been thinking about this, and have half a solution at the moment. "SMS Backup +" works on the Driod side of things, I just need to write or find an equivilant peice of software on WM.
For that I can probably get away with using C# to knock up a quick app.

Any luck on that? I am currently converting my HTC HD2 to Android; however, before I move from SD Android to NAND Android, I'd like to transfer all my WM data.
At this moment, I was able to tranfer contacts by using ActiveSync from WM6.5 to outlook>>export to gmail>>gamil contact sync in Android, but I've not found a way to transfer test message to Android.
Any suggestion transferring data from WM to Android?
Thank you in advance.
