Is there anyway to increase the call logs data, i think it can only store 300 calls.
Im using nbd 8.2. But all WM5 and WM6 has got this problems.
you can backup them with the PimBackup freeware tool included in the NBD 8.2 release. not really a solution, but this way, at least you will be able to keep you older log data

I have received the MDA Vario III this week and started to backup all SMS, etc from my old Vario I.
Before that, I have simunlocked my Vario III and put on the official WM6.1 ROM (ROM 3.03.405.0.WWE, Radio 1.64.06.04),
I have backupped my old SMS, etc on the Vario I with PIM Backup (but also used HTC Data Backup) and trasfered the backup-file to my Vario III.
There I did a restore.
Contacts, call history, etc was restored fine.
Only problem is that not all my SMS was restored.
PIM Backup said to have restored 25 SMS (which is correct), but on the Vario III is shows only like 10 SMS in my inbox.
Does the Vario III automatically hide some SMS or something ?
Someone had the same problem ?
This has been discussed on the PIM backup thread. Have a look there for answers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
I had to restore twice. Once missed half of the messages I received. The second time they all appeared. I think I used the SMS/MMS software to clear all messages before the second restore.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction....I guess I completely overlooked it
I have tried several restores already, even only messages restore (or even only inbox restore), but I keep having only 10 messages where the database clearly says that 25 messages are in it.....
Strange....but I will discuss this further in the right thread.

this is only my personal opinion, for me the performance of WM6.1 is superb however the only thing i feel disadvantange/a little disappointed about WM6.1 is the way of sms program showing the message. i still like the old one style. really appreciated if you have the software to change it to the old one.

Dear All,
I searched for this, but couldn't find any reference to this particular issue. I tried all the latest 6.1 ROMs and it looks like a WM thing.
All ROMs, have this new "FEATURE" which let's you view the SMS as a thread of messages instead of one at a time.
This is great, the only drawback is, that I can no longer move threads or indvidual SMSs to different folders; even the option to manage folders is dimmed (also the move option).
The only work-around that I have found, is to delete the message, go to the trash, and move it from there. However, there is still no way to create a new folder.
Any Ideas/Suggestions/Solutions for this issue ?
I too miss the split SMS/MMS. I wonder if it is possible for our favorite chef to put ArcSoft MMS 4.2.8.1 in his latest ROM and have it work properly?
This would make it possible to run Vito SMS-Chat and receive MMS properly. If Dutty's latest did run so damn good I would revert back for this reason alone.
I remember communicating with a very talented individual named Shogunmark. I'm SURE that this individual could separate the SMS and MMS. I don't think it was via XDA though. Seems I met him through another site.
Check out this thread. Simple registry hack to disable threaded SMS in WM 6.1.
I've done a quick search that didn't really turn up any results, so I wonder if this is even possible. Is there a cab file available that will replace the regular sms with the wm6.1 sms on a wm6 device?

In order to run Threaded SMS on WM6, you need to install a 3rd party program such as PalmSMS.
Does anyone know how to backup SMS messages on WM5 and restore them to WM6.1?
Here's the rom I'm using (Sprint/version 1.2) http://forum.xda-
developers.com/showthread.php?t=397134
I tried PIMBackup it can backup and restore the messages fine on WM5 but it can't restore them to WM6.1. I do notice that it seems to have a seperate SMS client rather than just using "Messaging" like WM5 did, maybe that's why it won't work?
It's strange, a few will show up then stop. If I delete some of those a few more will come up. If I soft reset a few MIGHT come up.
It seems to be random, I can get anywhere from 10 to 100 to show up after a restore.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Kenny
I think I got it, don't know how...
I decided to try "SMSBackup" to look at the app I ran a backup on WM6.1.
And it backed up all my messages.
When the backup was complete my phone was counting up messages.
Up to 160 right now....
backup
Pimbackup is the simplest tool. find the attached enjoy more than you needed
Thanks for the reply that was actually the first thing I tried.
But I couldn't see the messages after the restore. It caused the behavior above.
With SMSBackup I can now see my inbox.
Still nothing in my Sent Items, but I don't really care.
Funny thing is if I do a backup it backs up all my sent items.
I guess it's just some more buggy palm software.
Thanks,
Kenny
Hi,
here is my situation: I am jumping around wm6.1 (maybe wm6.5) ROMs and I would like to restore my threaded SMS. The SMS will restore fine but waiting for it to rethread is a pain (really lots of SMSes).
My question is: is there a known way to backup the SMSes, with the already threaded structure, and then during restore, you don't have to wait for it to rethread (as in after restore, it will be back in the threaded state immediately)?
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
PS: I have so much SMSes that threading itself will take about 8 hours itself without going to standby. So its really a pain to have a downtime of 8 hours after every single flash.

you can use ppc pim backup but it will not keep the thread sorted by date....so you could try disabling the threaded mode...backup them as single smses and restore them....and after that re enable the threaded mode...
that was just a tip...i haven't still tested it myself but one thing is sure...pimbackup doesn't backup threads correctly

Hi,
thanks for the input. Yup, in fact, that is exactly what I am doing now. Backup and restores fine but the re-threading itself takes like 8 hours.
Have read that some people only need like 20mins for 3000 messages. Not sure why mine took 8 hours...
lol, 8hours? Jeez, call me pedantic but surely its better not to keep so many on the device, leave them backed up on PIM BU for future reference, the device will work so much quicker.
fyi i backup my text each month to keep them in check and device clean
I have an HTC Tilt 2, running WM6.5. I'm using stock rom with Touchflo3d. I know this should be in an HTC forum, but since this applies to just about every HTC model out there and I'm also wondering if there is a normal WM feature I'm not aware of so it applies to WM6.5 only.
I have about 4,500 sms messages (I text alot) and I need to know two things:
1) Is there any way within WM6.5 to tell it to store my txt messages on my sc card rather than the internal memory? The more msgs I have, the more memory it takes, the less memory, the slower the whole thing becomes. I don't care if I need a 3rd party app to do it, I just want to know how or if it's possible.
2) Is there a WM replacement for the HTC sms messenger that's better? is there a non HTC and non WM sms messenger that's better? Mine keeps locking up the phone every time I send a message from one of the user accounts with a large amount of messages in it, forcing me to soft-reset or use a RAM reset tool to get the system to respond again.
I'm willing to upgrade to a new non-stock ROM if it will solve my problems and I'm willing to buy whatever software is necessary to resolve my issues.
Thanks,
