I know this is mainly for HTC phones but I thought some of you talented and smart people may know what is wrong. I just recently upgraded my sisters Moto Q9C(VZW model) to the office WM6.1 rom and she is now facing a minor inconvenience. Every time someone on her contact calls her, or sends a text, it just shows their number instead of the contacts name. I used Sprite backup software to back up the contacts, calender, task and so forth. What could be the issue here? Was the update not correctly installed or is it the backup that is the issue(even though the back and restore was done successfully). Should I reinstall the update again? Thank you.

just upgraded to a 2i, unlocked to all networks, put my voda card in and can send and receive texts but not calls at all, any ideas? Tried an o2 card and its just the same,
thanx
I'm not sure what to make of this, sounds like something's seriously screwed. When I unsimlocked my 2i to copy the contacts off my old Virgin sim, I made a couple of test calls and it worked fine.
The only thing I can suggest really is that you try a hard reset and a Corporate install, then unsimlock right afterwards and give it another go. If you do do that, I'm not sure if making a full backup would help, because then when you restore it if you have a registry problem which is causing the error, it'll restore the conflict too.
The last time I did a hard reset, I wanted to keep all my text messages and contacts though, so I did do a full synchronisation with Outlook to save my contacts, and I used a really sweet programme called smsOrganizer to backup all of my MMSes and SMSes. It's not _the_ most intuitive of programs, and it does require a little manual file manipulation after the reset before you restore the files (obviously), but it worked just purfick for me
I can only really suggest a hard reset, because that's the only way I know for sure to eliminate any and all problems you have which are arising from pre-existing conflicts.
I just updtaed my rom to the official 6.1 build released recently here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519698
I used Pim Backup before updating to save all my contacts and text messages.
When I did a restore, my phone ran incredibly slowly. I know that before, when I used PIM to restore from Windows 6.0 to 6.1 (this was when I was on a Cingular 8525), it took a very long time because 6.1 needed to nest all my text messages, but my fuze didn't seem to do this. It only kept the last 30 or so messages from my side of the conversation only, and the entire phone slowed down like crazy once I did the restore, especially if I do anything involving text messages, it was damn near unusable.
Is there anything I can do to restore the backup of all my contacts and text messages successfully and have them all intact the way they were before the update?
before you do a restore you should do the tweak to make texts go in regular order not threaded
then do the restore
all you need to do to speed the phone back up is to soft reset.
once you reset you do the tweak to go back to threaded and you will be fine
How many texts do you have? You may want to archive some of the older ones. It's probably worth looking at \cemail.vol just to see how big it is. I don't text much at all and don't use email; I have maybe 100 texts on my device. My cemail.vol (in the root of the device memory) is 292K. If you've got 10K+ texts or some crazy amount, my guess is that your cemail.vol file is huge-this could be your problem. I also have maybe 50 contacts, and my pim.vol is ~600K. If I were you, I'd just look at those two files, and maybe look at your available storage memory before and after restoring your pim data.
Edit: or just do what lbhocky19 said, lol.

How do I do this tweak?
do you have advanced config? if not get that
its in the messaging section
By Advanced Config, do you mean a setting somewhere in my phone that I can set to advanced mode, or do you mean a program I need to download?
Umm, Hello? Anyone?
... umm, can anybody please help me?
Well... http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=advanced+config
..... you don't have to insult me, "Advanced Config" is a common term, I didn't expect a Google search to get it right on the first hit.
So, is this program basically the equivalent of the Att Tilt's Kaiser Tweak then?
I have a new problem with PIM Backup now however.....
I used Advanced Config to set the messages as regular order, then did the restore, and it APPEARED to work fine (didnt set them back to threaded yet). But then I tried restoring the second backup, and the progress bar has been stuck at 1% for a while now. I am assuming its going so slow because its trying to insert information while the database already has so much information in it.
Is there any way I can make this work faster? A way to restore both backup files at once or merge them into one or something like that?
The reason I have two is because after I made the initial backup, since I wasn't able to get it to restore correctly, I had to reset my device yesterday so I made a second backup that is just the 2-4 week period between then I last updated it and had to reset it, it contains far far fewer messages and logs than previously.
Sorry to post again but.... I have another problem.
The restore isn't working correctly.
I used Advanced Config to set mt messages as standard instead of threaded, and restored my PIM backup. After I set ti back to threaded, it would only show the other person's side of the conversation, not mine. Then once I got a text from that person and replied it started re-sorting the messages..... and then it would only show MY side of the conversation, not theirs!
Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Hi!
I recently flashed my Xperia X1 from a custom ROM called Xion X1 to WM 6.5. Then immediately to Christer's WM 6.5.1. Of course, before this I backuped everything I could using PIM backup. After the flash I restored everything (most notably a few thousand messages), and contacts, appointments and most of it works fine.
However, when I look at my messages everything isn't as it should be. For some of my contacts only sent messages show (conversation style messaging), and for other contacts only received messages show, and for some contacts it varies in periods (for example: from Saturday I only see sent messages, and from Sunday I only see received messages).
I actually had this very problem when I installed the Xion X1 ROM, and it was solved by simply looking at the messages menu as it added the messages, just like if I just got them. Although some messages never got restored, those had no importance. I've tried this now and all that happened was that it kept using 100% CPU (I think, it was rather non-responsive) for hours and depleting half a battery even during charging (how is that even possible??).
Could this problem be due to the vast amount of messages? Is there any way to solve the problem?
I'd prefer to keep my messages because of their sentimental value.
Thanks in advance!
I re-flashed my device with Valkyrie FireStorm III, and tried restoring the messages. It's now adding messages as if I just recieved them, but it's skipping alot of messages and just inserting messages out of context.
Well.. I seemed to have somehow solved my SMS bug accidentally. I was suffering from it from day 1 when I restored my 2000+ messages. I gave up on trying to tweak it, and decided to concentrate on moving my picture MMSes over from my Diamond.
(along the way I concluded none of the backup softwares can really work with picture MMSes.. but that's another story.)
I'll state upfront I don't really know what I did that fixed the problem, but I'm very sure the problem of SMS stuck in the outbox is fixed, I seem to get all my SMSes and only my msg threads with more than 300 msgs take a while (3s - 5s?) to load.
The interface loads EVERY single msg. Doesn't anyone at HTC use MSN?
Here's what I did when I gave up with the MMSes. Something along the way solved the problem. Or maybe I got lucky.
1) deleted the messages that were previously MMSes in both inbox and sent box.
Every single one.
Didn't study much, but I realised through testing, my restored MMSes were causing some problems. In traditional mode, I could not reply to a single restored MMS, but a single restored SMS was fine. In conversation mode, conversations with restored MMSes had a lag, while those with only SMS didn't. The sent/received fields also seem screwed up somehow.
Furthermore, none of the softwares I tried using to restore couldn't bring my picture MMSes back to life. (sentimental value, else I'll just save the images)
That's why I decided to just kill all of them for now. I used Jeyo Mobile to delete those "former-MMSes" from my HD2.
2) Exited Sense by removing it from Today
BTW, this was fresh from a Hard Reset, so there's nothing else in the system.
3) Using Jeyo Mobile, deleted the (previously unseen) folder Conversations from the sms inbox
Don't know why, I keep seeing it reappear. Seems to cause problems when it's not properly indexed. the UI seems to duplicate the latest msg from each contact into it, and that'll be the start of the threads.
3) Clear the deleted items folder using Jeyo
Including manually deleting the Conversations folder that was stuck in it.
4) Back up the SMSes
I had no email, nothing in draft as the UI doesn't index them properly. Only left stuff in Inbox and Sent. I used Jeyo Mobile Companion 2.1. Feel free to try others.
5) Hard Reset
6) Restore the SMSes
Here's where it's hazy again. I might have tried alot of combis, as the UI doesn't index the msgs properly for conversations all the time. Idea was to restore and let the UI index it properly. Here's the possible permutations:
a) I might have exited Sense.
b) I might have left the HTC msging interface in traditional
c) I might have left the HTC msging interface in conversation
Chances are, it's in conversation.
I restored the msgs using Jeyo. (it's stored in a XML file, so other text based backups may work too)
-------------------------------------
I only realised that the problem is fixed a few days later, as I realised that the next few days, I got my SMS reports instantly, and I never had a SMS stuck. My newly received and sent MMSes worked perfectly too.
I'm trying not to touch that msging part of my phone now that it is working perfectly....
Just found out that HD2 I bought (at the same time) for my GF is suffering the sent/huge lag issue though. Maybe I'll try to pin point a fix using her phone. She shld have less than 50 messages, though I did back up and restore some mmses for her previously.
However as I'm about to go on a 19day tour/holiday, so I thought I'll just share my experience and maybe some experts can figure out what's wrong.
Just for your info, I'm using 1.48.707.2 (71294) WWE.
After Sprint WM 6.5 upgrade adding Facebook as "favorite contact" causes lockups
Upgraded my Sprint Touch Pro 2 to Windows Mobile 6.5 from 6.1 last week. Now when I add a linked Facebook contact to my "favorite contacts" tab the TouchFlo interface locks up. Only way to fix is to remove the contacts or not link them to Facebook.
Took me 2 times of applying the 6.5 firmware update before I was able to nail it down to linked Facebook contacts on the favorite contact tab. Now that I've figured this out I'm not using the favorite contacts feature any longer and my lockups have disappeared!
Anyone else have this problem? If so were you able to find a fix?
Tried calling Sprint on the issue but apparently the tech support guys are new to this phone also. They were going to call me back but never did. Guess I'll have to try again another day but in the meantime thought I'd hit up the XDA forum.
bump......
I am using the same Manila, but cooked ROM, and it seems to work just fine.
Works fine with my Sprint HTC TP2 WM 6.5 phone

Well, I was sure I found an error. Still continues. If I add a contact NOT linked to Facebook no problem. If I add the contact AFTER linking to Facebook it starts to lock up.
I think I'll call Sprint back again. Confused...
When you first add contacts from FB, it does lock up for a min or two depending on how many contacts you have. But once it syncs all, it should be just fine.
If nothing works, try a Hard Reset, and start over again.

I added a new FB contact today and it locked up. I gave it about 15 minutes and then gave up since it was unusable. Did a soft reset and removed the FB contact. Now all is well.
I applied the firmware update twice. The first time I loaded everything and it was locking up. I couldn't figure out what the problem was. I then reloaded the firmware again and took things step-by-step until I figured out what was causing the problem.
So, with that said, I don't think a hard reset will work considering it was locking up right after the firmware upgrade.
sorry to semi-hijack this thread
does anyone know how to update the facebook integration password - i changed my password and now I can't upload photos through the HTC Sence and my contact's albums/status updates will not refresh
I do not have non-alphanumeric characters in my password
and I am using the stock sprint rom
Thanks
