Is there an option on my phone to save text messages, MMS, to my storage card. I've looked through all the options on my phone, but I can't find anything on this. I would like to have all my text messages intact even when I have to master reset my phone for some reasons.
Back them up with PIM Backup. Search the forum for a download link. I'm afraid no MMS support yet, though
Yea I use spb backup to backup my PIM every night.

There is no option to save texts, but when you backup the PIM it automatically backs up your texts.

for some reason, sometimes i get on my Treo with WM6 it says there is 1 Text message unread, but i open it and there is no messages.
is there a file that I can delete that i can have recreate.
it's weird.
e..b
I have 3 "unread" messages. Maybe because I recovered database from my previous systems.
All messages are stored in \Windows\PalmMsgV001 - you can delete it and have clear sms-database It will self recreate after running Messanging app.
I have another question.
I have upgraded from treo 750V Wm5 to wm6.
Before upgrading I made a backup with pimBackup of all contacts and sms. Once upgraded to WM6 i restored my pims data, everything goes well, but I cant find my sms... Nobody can help me?
PIMBackup doesn't backup smses on Treo
How I can do to restore from pim backup? is there any solution?
Thanks a lot!
I was able to get PIM Backup to back up my SMS msg's. The thing is... the 750 combines both MMS and SMS msg's, so you cant restore them both at the same time. If you only restore the SMS msg's it SHOULD work. It worked for me just fine.
I prefer to backup \Windows\PalmMsgV001 from time to time just in case problems with smses. Once I had a problem and it drove me to hard reset because I didn't know where messages are kept...
I want to save the SMS messages to my sim, I am changing ROM once in a while and I don't want the SMS messages to be deleted each time I upgrade.
Is there a way to save the SMS on SIM or memory card ?
PIM Backup will save your text messages an emails recent calls ect to your memory card.Just install it on your new rom and you can restore them all.
Thanks for the quick respond
After you flash a new ROM, but BEFORE you restore your PIM backup, make sure you don't have messaging enabled on your home screen - otherwise it will look like you've lost half of your messages after they've been restored. They are still there, they just won't show up in the threaded view. So, if the ROM you choose has the HTC Home or TouchFlo plugin enabled, go to start menu/settings/today/items tab and uncheck HTC Home or TouchFlo (I make sure everything is unchecked except the date plugin) then do the PIM restore. When it's done, go back an uncheck the date plugin and re-check either HTC Home or TouchFlo and you should now be able to click on messaging and see both sides of your conversations in threaded view.
Is it just me this happens to or do others have this problem.
When I restore my data after a ROM flash using PPCPimBackup, the text messages in the 'threaded' view type are not ordered correctly for each contact. instead of being ordered by time and date, it puts all of their messages first and then puts all of my sent messages.
(the threaded messaging acts normal for any new text messages, its only the restored ones which this happens to)
did you restart the phone? in my experience it is needed after a restore.
working
Okay just flashed my ROM to v2.2 and this time when i did the restore its worked fine.
at first it didnt have any inbox threads then they started to appear after a restart, it sorted all the incoming messages into date order but this time it didnt show any of my sent texts in the threads. so after another restart and a 30min wait for it to put my sent texts into the right place its all sorted
i guess iv got a few too many texts for WM to handle!
thanks for any help
you have a gmail account?
Consider running something like SMS Backup + by Jan Berkel
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&feature=search_result
it will back up your SMS messages to labels in your gmail account... You can also restore to phone after wipe if needed.
It has worked pretty well for me. i.e. I haven't noticed any issues with it, and I can view my backed up SMS messages up in my Gmail account on my PC if/when needed.
While it says it can backup (but not restore) MMS messages, I don't get enough Pix messages to know how that works. Nor do I have it backup call log entries.
Hey thanks for this. Now I'll just back up my SMS before flashing and then restore them after flashing.
So oddly enough I have 4,846 conversation threads which contain 77,000 messages.
Titanium Backup will restore messages into the stock messaging app but nowhere else. To restore the messages it averages 15 minutes.
With that I cannot access them in ANY other app (i.e. handcent, chomp, go sms pro). The only solution is to use SMS Backup restore. The problem with this is that it takes over 7 hours. I started it 11pm and its now at 3:38am. There has to be a better way, any ideas?
I backed up my SMS messages with Titanium with the XML backup.
