Hello, I messed up my TF3d the other night and i needed to restore my phone.. so i used Pim Backup 2.8 to backup my SMS messages, redid my phone, and restored.. now my phone is really slow, and i'm "missing" sms messages in threaded view (they are there in the old 'normal' view). So i can assume they are getting reindexed(lack of better word)
anyone know of a program that will reindex(?) them faster? and of a backup program that works properly w/ the new threaded SMS in 6.1??
TIA

im using wrcx3 rom and its really good, but i cant restore my messages. ive tried pim backup, spb backup, sprite backup...still cant..
i noticed the other rom i used, tnt5 touchflo, had separated the sms from mms....and i could restore my messages on there..
i thought maybe its cuz the sms and mms were together.
anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
You can't seperate them once they're put together. The only way to do it is to flash a ROM that has the seperated version included.
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....

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
Probably some of you are using PIMBackup 2.8 to backup your SMS, Contacts and Calendars before you flash a new rom. The issue is that sometimes, after the restore, you find that the threading of SMS has errors, i.e. in Inbox, you see all the SMS with the "Me".
This doesn't happen to all roms, but seems to happen to many of the 6.S roms.
Well, I tested using SPB Backup version 2.01 and did a restore on one of the rom that I know will have threading problem. Surprisingly, the threading is good.
Hope some of you will find this information useful.
Cheers!
Restoring to threaded SMS
I have found that in order to restore to a successful threaded sms you have to turn off threaded sms in adv.config., then restore, then turn on threaded sms, and everyting works fine.

There is a thread on this (with solution) already.

Does anybody know if someone has created a program to automatically purge old text messages (ie. delete messages more than 1 week old)? There's no limit on the messages you can have on your phone so after a while it starts to fill up and slow down things. Also if there's something to save messages you don't want to get deleted. Android has this problem too so I'm looking for WM and Android.
Hy,
this developer (www.pocketkai.net) has done a sms backup tool.
Greatz

Hey. So we all have to switch phones are factory reset sometimes and I personally like to copy over my MMS and SMS from my old phones to the new. I use SMS backup + to handle SMS which it does quite well (a bit slow on restores but it's understandable) but my current MMS backup solution, mybackup pro isn't perfect. So you can use it to backup almost anything but I exclusively use it for MMS. Anyway, my issue is that when I restore MMS my group chats are messed up. In the group chat thread, all of my messages load but, the other people's doing end up in that thread. They go into thier own personal thread which makes everything a little messy. Does anyone have a good MMS backup and restore solution?
Thanks, Triguy.
