As you know starting from wm6.1 the text message is displayed in dialogues like instant messaging. However is there any way to backup sms to PC so that I can view the conversation with a particular person?
I tried a lot of software but they backup in chronological order
Thanks a lot

I have just installed one of the new ROM's (slueths) and I love how text messages now list as a conversation. I've restored my old text's using PPCPimBackup, but when I go to a conversation they are out of order. One particular one shows all of my replies, then as it gets older and older it shows the other persons messages. The dates shown seem to be correct though...
Is there a way to re-order the messages? Thanks.
Clear your inbox in the SMS program and then try restoring the backup again. It works for me, and a fair few other people have had success in the other threads this is covered in.

That seems to have done the trick. Nice one, thanks.
Is it possible to remove/delete single messages from within the conversation?
Erm, is that a no?
Hey, i have Windows Mobile 6.1 and for any SMS thats over a day old, it doesnt show the time, only the date. Is there any way I can see the details of the message or have it so it shows (day/month hours:minutes:seconds)?
Also, is there a programs that backs up the messages, but keeps the threaded conversations structure? Because Im using PIM Backup and when i restore my SMS from a backup, it groups the sent and then the received.
thanks in advance
hate to double post, but can anybody help me?
SMS Database
Hi
I can't advise on the day/date stamp of older SMS conversations. However, in terms of the "threaded" structure, this is only a method of displaying the SMS Messages sent and received. Both Threaded and Standard views of SMS messages sent and received use the same database. I think they're in pim.vol, but others may be able to elaborate on that point.
Either way, I think that if you can successfully back up and restore this database you should be able to display the restored messages in standard or threaded mode.

thank you,
but i did successfully restore the database,
but when it is restored, the sent and received are grouped.
like this:
before the backup:
sent message 1
received message 1
sent message 2
received message 2
and then after restoring the backup:
sent message 1
sent message 2
received message 1
received message 2
theyre in the right order, just not like a conversation
try spb backup
searching for the same thing since I switched to 6.1 . and the only way I found was to disable the threadview with Advanced Config (or any other programm that can toogle this)..
I read something that other roms CAN have this feature that they display date and time.. but never seen that "live" :/

I too wonder why cant we have the completedetails about the time stamp on the SMS like any ordinary mobile phone has. many a times one definitely feels the need to know these details..
Regarding the backing up the SMS you can use ppcpimbkup by dotfred..It works just perfect...
PowerSMS is free and packs a few extra features... It's what I use personally.

you sure these restore sms (in threaded view) in the right order?
I am looking for some decent SMS software.
I find the basic SMS features on my Touch HD very limited.. done the usual Google search but don't seem to be getting very far.
What I would like:
Ideally, to allow me to create and manage folders, (associated with my contact list) and my incoming texts; if possible similar also on my outgoing texts.
To show delivery reports (in detail if possible) both SMS and MMS.
Has anyone come across something that my search may have missed.. cheers..
I was wondering if any developers might have a PIM backup file handy they use for testing to show off their apps... Basically just with some made up contacts and generic SMS stored in it. Would really be helpful because I would like to show a screenshot of my SMS Chat skin without having to censor all the contacts and messages. Anyone?
Hey everyone,
I've wondering this for a long time and couldn't find a solution to my problem. I have samsung i780 and have upgraded it to windows mobile 6.1. It comes with the SMS displayed as a chat conversation, which is neat. I want to backup all these conversations, as they are.
When I try most SMS backup software,(like iMobile SMS backup or Godswmobile SMS transfer) they backup all the messages, but they don't save it in a conversation way. They split them into sent or received smses, and its really hard to make sense of things and its tiresome.
Is there any software that can save the entire conversation as they are displayed in wm6.1? (i.e sent-received-sent-received etc)
Or at least someone can think of in this way:
In the conversation window, I can select all, and then copy the messages to Microsoft word or Note. The problem is, it shows very few messages at a time(as the screen is small, so only like 7 or 8 are displayed at a time), and I have to keep clicking on 'Older' to go to the very first sms, which is like a 1000 click before. And its tiresome to copy/paste it in the word, and if one small error, you are pushed back to the very recent sms chat.
Cant I just access the main html/xml file on the mobile where all of this is stored? Anyone knows how to retrieve the file where all your SMS chat/conversation is saved?
Thanks
Okay, I found the software.
Jeyo Software is the one. God, I wish I had known such a software existed before. Its just beautiful.
One more thing, any idea how to restore contacts that were saved as .xml?
Thankx
