I had a question regarding deleted numbers on my treo 700wx. Since that phone isn't listed on here I was unsure where to post this so mods feel free to move it. To my question, is there any way to retrive deleted numbers from the memory of my phone? The reason I ask is because I've received a few text messages from people that I've deleted from my contacts but when I receive the message, it'll say their name like if their info was still in my phonebook when it's not. Is that something I can access to see numbers that I've deleted? Thanks, any help will be appreciated. BTW, I have the Palm Threaded SMS app installed so maybe that might have something to do with it since the deleted people who text me used to text me too when they were in my phonebook.

they may be on your sim, the default is for wm to not show sim contacts in the contacts screen
Unfortunately I have Sprint in the US so its CDMA, no sim card. I really think that it has something to do with the Palm Threaded SMS app from the Treo 750

i have no idea what any of that is
but my other thought would be this: whenever you delete anything, the computer doesn't overwrite the data, it just deletes the user's ability to access it, and only when a large enough file is saved does it eventually get overwritten. so maybe the computer (phone) can still see the data?

Hi
I have an xda 2.
I recently carried out a hard reset to clean up my xda 2.
Unfortunately when I tried restoring my back up (from active sync) there appears 2 be a problem with old sms messages.
I had created a number of sub-folders where I had moved my old messages.
I can see the old sms messages in the folder but I can not open, read or forward them. There are no problems with new sms messages.
Has anyone come acrosss this before and can you advise me on how to retrieve these please?
Thanks.
Salim
....No response...does noboby love me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I've had a look through the forums and have foubd similarish problems but nothing seems to help
This is wht I have done so far
1. Downloaded mobile vault to interrogate my back up - but this has proved futile as when I go to where I believe the sms messages are the ones I want are blank (even though I can see them in the sms folder but not expand them).
2. I downloaded Jeye Mobile companion and Jeyo Outlook extender
JMC did not help much
Jeyo Outlook Extender will let me read the SMS messages that are in my inbox (but not accessible via the XDA II). However, any stored in the other folders I have set up are not accessible (I don't seem to be able to see the folders I have set up on the XDA II).
3. I have performed more hard resets - and backups any sms in the back up (even in the inbox) suffer the same fate of not being readable (But I have now backed up mu more recent ones elsewhere).
Well I'm exhausting my options now.
Any help would be more than welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I have searched the forums but haven't had much luck - if anyone knows of a similar post that has had a reply then could they point me to it).
Any news
Has anyone ever found a way round this?
Similar problem - looking for a solution also.
I had to restore after my SPV M2000 hard reset itself and I cannot view Old or NEW sms messages (apart from when the message bubble is shown as a new message arrives). My messaging inbox, drafts, outbox and deleted items all show the number of messages in them, but I cannot view or access any of them.
Is there any way these messages can be accessed or deleted?
Help!!
Any solution yet
Hi... has anyone figured a way around this yet?
I've spoken to someone at o2 and they said it had something to do with the way the inbox is recognised/linked.
After a hard reset the system is given a new id...but the old messages are linked to an older id....
There must be someway around this.
If I can see the message headers surely there must eb a way of reading the messages!!!!!
HELP PLEASE
A work around if you're stuck
I use Sprite backup which caused this problem after a restore. After raising it with their support team they supplied me with the attached file which allows SMS messages to be received and read.
BE AWARE that all messages on the device will be deleted, but new messages received will work. This will erase SMS, MMS & any emails that are on the device, so use with caution. Make sure you have a full backup!!!
Hi
I couldnt find anywhere, i thought this question was ovious.
in my sim card, i have contact name mark with /m or /h or /w for mobile, home, and work. for exemple ''Jonh/m'' means jonh cell phone.
and i have some thing like this
jonh /h 514-248-4535
jonh /w 514-234-7854
Jonh /m 514-234-5665
when i tranfer it to my phone, it have exactly the same structure.
There is some way to merge it togerter under the same name with different categories for mobile and work and home number and so on?
one other thing is how to hide SIM contact, beacause once you have transfered your contact list to your phone, in contact list of the phone, it showed duplicated contact.
sorry for my english.
thank.
Any one?
Do i in the wrong forum or section?
NO, SIM Contacts are basic information, it would serve you better to just add your contacts using outlook if you have it, back up your outlook contacts any time you make any changes.
If you don't have outlook, PIM Backup works well for managing your contacts from the phone, just dont restore a backup from PIM and then try syncing with outlook that is already populated, you will get double listings, use one as your primary and the other as an emergency if you use both.
You can hide SIM contacts useing a tweak tool, kaiser tweak unfortunatley has to be adjusted after each reset for that setting. There is another tool similar that does work even after resets, just becareful using it on a kaiser, I ran into some sereous crashes adjusting things that varied in the kaiser with it, Unfortunately I cant remember who made it (Dutty tends to load it up in his roms)
Another option is to use a contact replacement program, I use "Finger Fiendly Friends", it filters out sims, I think Pocket CM filters them also. iContact at this time does not.
I hope this has answered your questions.
as above
i have some important messages in my touch pro that i would absolutely loathe to lose, and i'm going to buy a WP7 device as my contract expires this month.
can some kind soul with a working device tell me if this is possible, or is there any article that mentions it?
Thanks
I think the myphone service should do it...

oh...yeah right
i clean forgot about it since i use spb backup more
thanks for reminding me
From what I have seen and tried I can find no method to restore the SMS from an older 6.5 device to a WP7.
Were you able to find a solution?
Nope-- there are even solutions to import WM 6.5 SMSes to Android, but nothing for WP7- it's far too locked down.
thanks for the confirmation, as I have tried a million things and I even looked at the SMS store and it looks too locked down to even write a app to do it.
Has anyone had success at sync'ing SMS from Exchange? I have got it set up but the messages dont appear to sync to the phone....have I missed something?

Nope, WP7 doesn't support Exchange SMS sync (or SMS sync with anything for that matter).
Ironically this was one of the features added to WM6.5 with Exchange Server 2010, yet its successor (if you can call it that) lacks it.
Might get added in a few years' time, once other more basic deficiencies are addressed.
weird that this phone addresses the joe-average user, and I dont deny it, but not having a restore/backup function is poor and a ovesight....

Hi
Do I understand it correctly that using http://sn1-p3.myphone.microsoft.com/...t.po?mkt=en-GB to upload sms through WM6.5 then download to WP7 is not possible ie does not work?
Thanks

That's correct, one of the best things Microsoft created for WM6 doesn't work with WP7.
If you copy your important SMSes to the SIM card beforehand they will automagically appear on your WP7 handset.
Thought of doing that but couldn't see how to do it on wm6.5 [I have another wm6.5 phone I could copy to sim if it was possible]
wow, surprised to see my thread bumped up
my sms messages run up to the many thousands
not very possible eh?
but then, i guess a suggestion would be to prune them and keep the important ones

Hey guys,
I'm looking to ditch my Desire in a month or two for a Samsung Focus, the only problem is that I want to save a LOT of my SMS messages to my SIM card, but haven't found one solution to this. I've searched around for an app that can export all of my messages to my SIM (not just one-by-one), but haven't found anything. I know there's apps that export your SMS stuff to the microSD card, but I'm pretty sure the only way to retrieve your old SMS messages on Windows Phone 7 (at least from vacating another OS) is to grab them from your SIM card. I've looked around and have found some Gmail apps that backup your messages to your Gmail account, but that is not what I'm looking for.
If any of you guys can give some advice on how to do this, please respond as soon as you can. I really would hate to lose 3800 messages.
Thanks!
So is that possible? If yes, how?
Also contacts, they transfer with the sim card because I have saved all my contacts to my sim card?
I'm not sure its possible to do that, since there is not native way to back up and save your current WP7 text messages. I doubt there would be a way to transfer ones from anywhere.
However for contacts, since you have an Android phone you most likely have a Google account. Just sign in with your account on your WP7 device and it will all sync like magic.
Behold, the cloud.
WP7 doesn't have SMS backup? wow... Well, that sucks, I really don't want to lose all my messages, some of them are really important and bring back good memories...

Yeah nothing native that I know of. Doing a search around the interwebz i found this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103011
Thanks, but that isn't what I'm looking for... I dont even have a WP7 at the moment and if i Can't get my messages to the phone it's a major let down...

You must be really attached to those texts. You know all the naughty pics you can just send back to yourself.
No nothing like that XD there's just some messages that I really want to keep... Even though I usually don't read my old messages I just want to keep them as memories
Yes,
it's been a while, but the subject's still up-to-date.
Same thing here. I'd just like to move from Windows Mobile 6.5.
From Exchange 2010 it's possible to sync text messages between the phone and the server. But it appears that goes only for messages which arrive AFTER the sync setup. I haven't found a way to make the phone upload older texts to the server.
Also I don't think a new phone would download all past text messages from the server after pairing.
There's poll to make Microsoft implement a way: http://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/110705-app-platform/suggestions/1901813-sms-backup?ref=title
That's the only thing preventing me to move to WP7. Most awesome would be if PIMbackup would provide a way. I've asked the programer via mail if he saw a way, but I haven't gotten any response.
If I had no other choice I would forward those SMS messages to my self some how either through email or someother method. Just an idea.
Basically a nice idea. Unfortunately sender numbers and timestamps would be lost :-(
With multiple hundred messages that's important data for me.
But thanks for the idea!
