Hi all,
Does someone knows why when adding people to ppl tab the phone slows down and is almost unresponsive? I was adding 3 ppl and it took 5min and after that for another 10-15 min the phone is still slow, like it is busy with doing something... Any explanation and /or solution appreciated.
If you've got a lot of text messages on your phone then this can be the cause.
If this is the case, your best choice is to backup your text messages and then delete them from the phone. (I use MyPhone to do this, as you can archive them online, delete them all online with a couple of clicks, and then they're deleted off your phone @ next synch).
To be honest, I'm very suprised you're suffering from that problem with a ROM from Dutty, so that might not be the answer, but it has been in the majority of cases.
I think you're right about sms's. I have lots of them. Even worse - they were imported so the database might be screwed up. I don't blame the Duttys ROM - its nice and stable

Hi guys,
I have a problem, that from time to time my WM phone (Hermes) freezes and then I have to do a reset with the stylus and all the unread SMS that I´ve received in the meantime are gone..
Is there a way to prevent this, please? (e.g. a program that would automatically mark all incoming SMS as read so that the WindowsMobile system will actually store them even in case of a reset?)
Thanks for any help!
Pteropus.
nobody knows a solution..?
please..
please, help meee.. isn´t there a way to stop the unread sms-s from getting lost after restart..??
No idea.
I tried and mine works normally. I sent myself an SMS. I didn't open or read it when it arrived. I just left it unread in the inbox. I performed a soft reset using the stylus. When the device rebooted the SMS was still in the inbox showing as unread.
yeah but when the phone freezes it will delete.
it happens on my wing and on my old excalibur.
exactly
thanks for your replies..
so what can be done? i am thinking of a soft that would either keep the unread sms in its own memory on the memory card or a soft that would save it right away as read.. it is such a bummer, it´s a feature of Windows Mobile but I am wondering why this doesn´t bother anyone else...
Yes believe me this is a major pain in the a#@*! Has happened to me quite a few times and even made me miss an important appointment once...
I take it that this is simply a "feature" of the system but it could be down to a rogue program somewhere. Not for me to say anything of course but some of the third party programs available do seem to make my machine freeze more than most. Remove them and it works ok for long periods.
Funny that...
same here
that is the same source of madness for me.. last week I got an SMS from a horny girlfriend but the phone froze, sms is gone and she says that she will not say what was in it, beacuse she is ashamed how open it was and wants to play a dame now.. aaaargh....
This afternoon, just after sending an SMS to the wrong person (A "Kiss" to a business partner instead of the GF... great... But this is a known Android bug, I wont even complain about this...), when I went back to the main screen of conversations most of them had disappeared and the ones left were nearly empty
Granted I have quite a lot of SMS (A few thousands) but I dare to hope the issue doesnt come from there (My old Windnows Mobile TP2 could handle 20,000 without any issue)
I hesitate between calling it a shame, or ridiculous or whatever you want to call it... But definitely unprofessional, not serious and a definitive let down for the device
It happens I am backing up my SMS with My:IQ from BestBuy and it's presently rebuilding the whole SMS history (Hopefully without losses... I don't know yet)
Am I the only one who had this issue. Is it a well known problem? If yes anything to do to avoid this to happen again ? I start to be quite worried about the safety of my data...

If you want peace of mind you can install SMS Backup & Restore which can backup your messages in the background on a schedule, and then purge your old SMS messages now and then. I find it extremely unlikely that you need to keep thousands of SMS messages on the phone at all times. Archiving them off will speed up the application and reduce the likelihood of you losing them.
Software isn't perfect, don't keep a single copy of something that you NEED to retain without backing it up somewhere. Personally I don't care if all of my SMS's get erased now & then for 2 reasons, I back them up, and if there's anything important, I make a note of it elsewhere.
This is the first I've heard of the problem so if it's a bug with all versions of the firmware, then it's not one I've heard of. Have you checked for an update for your device?
I am using the JME ROM
Yes it could be a bug of my firmware. However havent had any issue for weeks and this suddenly happened
I bckup everything live with My;IQ
I though t about using a second backup and your suggestion is more than welcome. My worry with My:IQ is the potential doubling of SMS (in theory it doesn't happen but... in the past I saw strange things with other softwares...) and other potential issues caused by the defects on my device side (half crashed datadase or whatever)
I agree with you on backuping... Al my data are usually saved on a RAID6 system duplicated on another external HD. My emails are duplicated in several places, etc...
Anyway I ma curious to know if others experienced the same issue or if I was just unluky (ie it's unlikely this will happen often). To be honest what worries me is less the firmware than potential interactions issues between the SMS app and some other of my apps (my:IQ or other apps, I have no idea)
Hi all.
I just today discovered that at some point in the past, while backing-up/restoring all my SMS/MMS, that I had duplicated a TON of them. I think somewhere on the order of a couple thousand. I've played with a ton of different ROMs, sometimes flashing every day, or even multiple times a day. What can I say, I'm a ROM junkie.
Anyway, not totally sure when, but somewhere along the way this happened. I've used MyBackup Pro, SMS Backup +, and something else I tried once I can't remember. I think it was MyBackup Pro that did it. I think I tried the merge option or whatever it was.
Well, however it happened, here I am now. It's a huge giant PITA. How can I get rid of the dupes? I want to keep the MMS'es, along with the "links" or whatever so they'll show in the actual SMS threads. I saw SMS Backup & Restore that will check for dupes while restoring, but it doesn't support MMS.
I looked around and couldn't find a solution that sounds like it would work for this specific problem. If there's something out there and I missed it, I apologize. So anybody got anything?
Thanks.
I have a problem with Emails on my Samsung Focus, 1.3 with Mango 7720 installed. The phone downloads emails normally. But after a couple of days, it would redownload all the emails. It is so frustrating to see it download 2k emails repeatedly. It takes time and I cannot do stuff in the meanwhile as the phone becomes superslow! I thought it was a one-off situation. But it has happened several times now. The phone is downloading messages as I type now!
Any solution? Please help.
Thanks.
Well, not so much a solution as a mitigation, but have you considered telling the phone to not download all 2000 messages? If nothing else, that much burn a lot of your phone's storage... I only keep up to two weeks of messages typically, and use server-side rules to keep the really chatty mailing lists out of my inbox (and I don't sync those folders on the phone).
It's even possible that it does the re-download because it keeps hitting some storage limit, wiping the files out, and then starting again (though that's a very basic guess).
Thanks for the reply. I preferred downloading the entire stuff as I am on a 2g connection(Wifi at home, so I use it mostly at home), and it is pathetically slow to download stuff if I were outside my house. I have changed the settings to download messages from the last month. Shouldn't be much of a problem now.
Just to be sure, is it one of the Email bugs that was resolved in the 7740 update? I am on 7720, and I want to update via cab method, but just don't know how to. Thanks again and have a good day.
Why don't you choose to download say only last two (or x) days of Email?
Maybe that's what I will do now. Anyway, I noticed that this was your first post. Welcome to xda
Basically what happens is I get old texts from previous conversations as if they were new. They will come in randomly but tend to follow the sequence of the conversation, so it basically replays the conversation but slowly over the day. Seems to affect group chats more. It makes following conversations very hard since they are full of old texts that are not relevant but they show up as new. Also annoying to keep getting notifications when I'm actually waiting for a text only to see that it's an old text that I got days ago.
Current phone is Google Pixel 4A with CalyxOS, but I've also tried Graphene OS and had the same issue. I've tried the stock app as well as QKSMS. I did not get the issue with Signal (using as SMS client) but they dropped support for SMS, so this started back again as soon as I switched off Signal. I even tried putting the sim card in my old phone (stock android) and it's still doing it! This part is strange to me because when this problem first surfaced, doing this did fix the problem.
How do I make this stop or begin troubleshooting this? Nobody in my contacts is having this issue so trying to convince them to switch to another messaging system is kind of futile, this is my problem. I am starting to wonder if I should just get an iphone like everyone else because it just works, but I really hate the closed nature of apple ecosystem.
I was thinking of looking into how to do app development and modify an existing open source client so that it ignores texts that have a send date older than 24h, but before I do that, is there already a text client for Android available in the F droid store or as an APK that would have such a feature?
So this is not just group chats like I thought. Starting to get old texts I got from single conversations now. Even pictures get resent. These show up as new texts, though they still have the original send date. This will at least make it easier to filter these out.
Anyone have an ideas how to make this stop? Driving me insane. I really don't want to have to write my own app.
Anyone? This problem is driving me insane. It started happening with a vengeonce again. I am being bombarded by old texts that I already got days ago. It's just playing out the entire conversation over the course of a few days. Have to put the phone in airplane mode to make it stop otherwise the phone is just lit up non stop with old texts coming in.
At very least is there some kind of logging of sorts I can enable that would help me better troubleshoot this?
Inreally dont know but i Remember this happened to me sometime ,maybe Just try a factory reset or change rom , i dont know
I tried several roms, resets etc. While it was happening I even put the sim card in another phone and it started doing it on that phone too. It's also not a carrier issue since I'm the only person having this issue. I've also tried all sorts of text apps. The only one it didn't do it with was Signal but they dropped SMS support, which really sucks.
