Help. I can no longer start up the SMS app. I have tried running the Messaging.exe and the Messagingapp.exe in the \windows directory. Nothing. I uninstalled PocketInformant this weekend and I wonder if that did something. I also use Flexmail, but I never made it the default SMS application.
Is there any way to rescue this app without having to hard reset?
TIA!
1. So ATM you are not getting SMS or you get SMS but you can't open the application?
2. Do you have a backup of your device that is working ok? Maybe you could try a restore.
I have this problem before. What I did is to delete the PalmMsgV001 in the \Windows folder.
This will delete every sms in your Treo though!

I need help urgently with my O2 XDAII.. i was loading a task manager prg after downloading the same.. http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/wisbar/download.html
(WisBar is the leading task management software(skinable) for the PocketPC.)
Just after running the program for the first time the PPC hardset itself wiping out all my data. When I restored from the back up file ..
I have three problems of very serious nature...!!!!!
1) When i did resotre from the back up file... it wont pick up the time and date and also still connects as GUEST and not with original profile. SO I am unable to syncronise the data.
2) It wont send/ receive SMS
3) The SMS inbox is all messed up... the sent items are in "deleted item folder" the received sms are in outbox folder... and i cant delet /move a single sms from any of the folders.
I tried to use file manager and deleting files from windows\ Messaging but it did not help at all. I tried delting files from windows..and i could not do that as i was getting messages which i cant understand.
Rest all programs are running fine without any aparant problems...
Can some one help me restore my handset...please....???

Hello,
First of all, I'm not sure what's causing your device to Hardreset by using Wisbar, I have mine working perfectly. :?
What backup software are you using?
If using the pre-installed one you are bound to have some problems.
In my opinion, the best backup solution is Sprite Backup (not a free application but a great one).
I used to have the same restore problems with the included backup solution on my MDA (besides the backups where not compressed and it was not a selective backup/restore).
Next time try Sprite's Backup.
Google it!
As far as the active sync profile is concerned - simple delete the original profile on your pc and allow it to create a new one when you next connect. It will then sync all your data back again.
hey have somebody a app for it ? (make a 1:1 copy of my mms,sms,emal)
I recommend SPB Backup: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en
It backs up to self-extracting file (ie you don't need SPB Backup to restore from them)
However, it is a commercial peice of software (although there is a 30 Day trial)
(NOTE: Backing up lots of email (especially with attachements) can take quite a bit of time with it)
give me your email and i will mail you a application it creates a backup file of mms sms mails call logs and events tasks and all but not your applications that you have installed in your phone and the best part is it restore all this even if you upgrade your rom in which the spb don't work and its a freeware
its a exe file which works on windows mobile and not on normal pc windows you can put it anywhere you want and when you want to restore it just click on the exe file and select restore where backup is coming select restore browse to the place where you keep the restore file and start it simple

Haven't used it yet but have read about it...still doesn't do MMS.
I too have been looking for something to export MMS messages and gave up not finding anything. So I created a makeshift one for myself instead:

Hi
Something went wrong while restoring a backup using Sprite Backup, and it only partially restored my email accounts. In the TF3D interface, the accounts are visible. But as soon as I tap an email to open it in the WM email program, I directs me to the main Messaging screen. In that screen the email accounts do not show op.
When I try to re-add the account under the same name, I get an error saying the account already exists. I've looked in the registry and file structure to see where WM6 stores mail account information, but was unable to find it.
Does anyone know which files or registry keys I need to delete to make sure all traces of the email accounts are gone?
why don't you try to do a restore again?

The backup was from when I was running a different rom, that's why it's not working the way it should.
I had the same problem. I wrote simple MortScript.
Delete "\cemail.vol"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Place a shortcut to this script to a \Windows\Startup folder and reset. It will have a brand new cemail.vol file when everything boots up. Don't forget to delete the shortcut, or you'll have a brand new cemail.vol every time you boot. It would delete email and sms/mms. After that you can restore your mail one more time.
Problem is in your Sprite Backup and unmark some fields with registry restore ( manual mark fields ). After second restore everything was ok.
Thanks! that fixed it
Perfect fix!
Thanks
I used MortScript to solve the problem. The disadvantage to this is that it wipes out your Txt message history and all your e-mail accounts... all things considered, I'm very happy with this solution.
One thing that tripped me up: When you edit a file in Mobile Word and save it as a text file, it will put a .txt extension on the file, no matter how you tell it to save it. You cannot fix this with File Explorer built into WM6. You will need to either edit the file name with Total Commander or through your computer (via Activesync).
Same Issue
Same issue here, but please How do I write the Mortscript? Any Step by Step guide? This is practically new to me. I just copied what you wrote above into word and create a .txt file?
The ghost email ( 1) on my tab is so annoying

Hi,

I have had also a problem with my unwanted mail account (WM6.1, TF3D).
This is what I found a while ago. Please take a look at the link below:
http://dsaxman.com/mobile/how-to-delete-an-email-account-on-windows-mobile-6-1/.
I did like an author recommends and it helped! Simple solution, without digging in windows registry.

My device an Atom Life WM 6 has locked up.
-the screen is locked up on windows boot image- cant control pocket pc
-soft reset battery pull anything i can think of does not help
-my safemode program isnt helping
Only option is HARD reset
Before I do that-
surprisingly can receive calls and sync over active sync
how can i back up the following:
- SMS - most important
- Contacts - second important
are there locations of these databases.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you
pim.vol
Hi
The phone module is seperate from the rest of the operating system, hence being able to function when WM has stopped responding.
I think that these databases are in a file called pim.vol. I can't be sure though. Maybe some other members can advise about back up software that runs entirely on the pc. The latest version of Sprite Backup perhaps?
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
If AS works then try Jeyo Mobile Companion, it runs purely on the PC and if it will connect then you should be able to export the stuff you need.
I copied over pim.vol but thats only contacts and tasks/appointments.
Anyone know the location of sms db.??
Unfortunately i do not have spb bakcup installed, dont think i can at this point.
I hope Jeyo works...
thank you
jeyo download sms's automatically.. but you will have to install a client side app.. if it doesn't do that automatically
just a suggestion for the future.
schedule a backup using PIMBackup2.8 to your storage card every once in a while..
the sms and emails are stored in "cemail.vol"
ok go here and install this http://www.mymobiler.com/
Once you have active synced your deivce, you can control it from ur PC
Then find and install PIM backup (using mymobiler). Then backup using PIM backup all your messages, contacts etc.
I find this better than using Sprite backup as this backs up registry too which might not always be a good idea when having problems. Its nice to have a simple PIM back up when needing to do a hardreset.

Me, very long way to go for that. Only been on here for 18 months when work decided they wanted to try something on WM5 phones. That didnt work out and I have snaffled one of them for myself. Have tried many things to get a finger friendly PPC and am as near it as I need.
Hi. I just arrived to HD2 world, and I can't find any info about some way to backup WhatsApp. I say WhatsApp not because of its data (conversations), but for the activation SMS, that means every time I reflash I have to reactivate paying for a SMS
In Android I had Titanium Backup so I just restored. I hope there is some way here in WP7, or a Registry key to save the code and restore or something.
Thank you very much, waiting for some light here.

I was thinking more of a specific thing, not all in a pack, but I don't really care. Thank you very much! I'll try. Hope it works.
LOL I just installed WhatsApp after reflashing, updating, reset and reactivation, and it didn't make the SMS step. Just from input cell number to chats.
Sorry. I guess I was way too farsighted!
Sorry to bump this thread, but where does whatsApp actually store the messages? It doesnt seem to use Isolated storage so there is no way there is just a data file that we can download..
anyone else have any idea's?
trying WMDC/ActiveSync launcher as I post this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23064872#post23064872
EDIT:
WMDC/ActiveSync launcher allows me to go to the app directory
Microsoft Windows Phone\\\Applications\Data\218A0EBB-1585-4C7E-A9EC-054CF4569A79\Data\IsolatedStore
where 218A0EBB-1585-4C7E-A9EC-054CF4569A79 is the application ID (might not be the same for everyone but I assue it is just to make this easy
There is a file in Isolated Storage called messages.sdf. In my case its about 640k in size but I guess that varies with the amount of messages stored on the phone.
I havent tried my device and copying the files back, but at least I can store them on my PC
Opening the file with Notepad shows messages and they are unprotected/not encryped. There is a lot of wierd caracters inbetween the messages, but it also shows whatsapp IDs from the recipients.
As soon as I reflash my rom (if new HD2 rom comes out soon) I will see if I can restore the messages.
So if you have acces to the Isolated storage dirs, you are able to copy the messages to your PC.
Note that WMDC/ActiveSync launcher requires a fully unlocked device.
