Hi Guys,
I have a problem that has happened with Windows Mobile 6.1 pro on my HTC and Windows Mobile 6.5.3 on my Ipaq.
I send a lot of SMS's and sometimes my phone will just stop receiving them. The phone screen will light up but nothing is displayed. With the HTC i could kill the messaging application and re-load and it would update. That got annoying so i got a blackberry. I smashed the blackberry so i got the Ipaq and now it is happening to this phone. But if i close the application here and reload it, it wont update. I know i cant get texts because i send a text to it using another phone and i have people calling me complaining why i didn't reply to their SMS.
I am ready to destroy yet another smartphone if i cannot get this fixed. Its the one major turnoff from using windows mobile.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Have you tried a hard reset?
Perhaps some external app is causing the prob...

Hi all,
I've got a problem with Messaging. I can receive text messages (SMS), but when I click on NEW or REPLY buttons in Messaging, nothing happens. No error messages, no crashes, no windows appearing and disappearing, nothing!
It used to work perfectly, so I seem to have done something wrong, but I don't know what.
I have a Himalaya with WM5. It happened to one of my friends with a Magician with WM2003 so it's not machine or ROM dependent. Hard reset works but I want to solve it without having to resort to that. Any ideas please?
I am having a problem with ActiveSync on my phone an Orange M700 running the HTC P3600 ROM. It was working with no problems until a few weeks ago when it stopped syncing. I have tested the laptop with another PPC and ActiveSync notices it straight away.
I have installed ActiveSync 4.5 to no avail so I returned to 4.2 and still nothing. I deleted all partnerships in both the phone and the laptop and when I plugged it back in the Windows saw the device as there was a pop up bubble in the bottom right corner but ActiveSync never kicked in.
I have had a look at the ActiveSync settings in the M700 but everything looks fine to me.
I have also been having problems with my 3G connection not connecting and doing the regular syncs it normally does e.g. my personal mail every 5 mins, my yahoo mail every hour and the weather every 2 hours. The only thing that has changed in this time is that I installed Fring, I can't imagine its related but I uninstalled Fring just in case but still no luck.
Anyone got any ideas how to fix it as I have some new appointments (I'm not sure which ones) in my PDA which I want to get synced before messing around with hard resets etc.
Thanks
Did you delete any notifications of any kind, usually replog files? If YES, then you just deleted your notification to activate Active Sync on your computer. You can solve that easily by returning the file. READ this for the solution: http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~jmisurda/ppc/blog/index.php?entry=entry051203-201515

I don't think I did that but I tried the file anyway, still no joy. I think my phone is also vibrating when I plug it into the PC now, very strange.

Have you ever used Check Notifications? It is a free software to clear away JUNK notifications.

Sometimes, our PPC just creates duplicates of certain Notifications that can cause conflicts with some softwares. Maybe this is what is happening in your device. You can try and download Check Notifications, even though it says it is only compatible with WM 2003, I use it for my HTC Universal (WM5). Just go to Check Notifications settings and tick the 3 choices, run it and CLEAR those pesky bugs.

Right I ticked the three boxes and cleared the issues but still nothing
Normally I'd just hard reset but I am worried about losing appointments I've forgotten I have made since my last sync.

I don't know what else to suggest.
If you do decide to HARD RESET, take a look at this FREE BABKUP program for contacts and calendar events: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705&highlight=backup
I hate doing hard resets myself, that is why I have SPB Backup configured to do automatic backups everyday at 5AM.
Good Luck...

Thanks for your help.
I'm not sure how I am going to progress this. My major issue is that we use GroupWise at work with a third party app to allow the PocketPCs to sync with it. When you set it up it blanks the device before you can do anything, if I wait and import everything after this it usually can't cope with the levels of changes and kills the system on the server.
Oh joy, why wasn't someone looking at the "bigger picture" when we choose an e-mail system.....
Can anyone help with a problem I have with this model.
It keeps losing the O2 text settings which mean I cannot send or receive emails or texts.
If you can get to the phone settings it is no problem to replace the settings but getting to the phone settings IS a problem.
I have been told that the settings will not run if other programs are running and I used to be able to get to the them by closing all programs and doing a soft reset.
However try as I might I cannot get the settings to run and consequently a big part of the functionality is missing. All that happens is that the settings flash briefly and then close.
Can anyone offer a solution (other than a hard reset) please or are there any known conflicts with other programs which might be causing the problem?
The eten tech supports seems to be non existence,
I think I shall have to replace the device with an HTC Kaiser when available as it has just been too buggy by comparison with my old tried and trusted XDA II which went on forever and was only replaced when the screen started to wear out.
Many thanks.

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....
Hello guys,
I have an iPAQ 914c with a strange problem.
I text the same contact all through out the day, and occasionally I get complaints that I'm sending the same message multiple times.
It turns out it'll be a message that I sent a day previous that comes back and decides to re-send itself 4-5 times for no apparent reason, It's definatly not a network problem, because it was Happening on Orange UK, and now I'm on T-Mobile UK and its still happening.
I really think its a software problem with windows mobile 6.1 on the device. I've done a hard-reset twice and still get the same problem. I have the latest ROM, which was on the phone stock. I havnt gone to the hassle of Re-flashing the ROM since Its the latest, and theres no other ROMS around to test.
What do you guys think? I've only had the phone a couple of weeks and I love it, but having a bug really drives me insane!
I had a similar problem and this is what I found out.
If you send a message and it doesn't go through (network errors, you get another text or call simultaneously, etc.) it remains in your outbox (or drafts can't remember which one). When you do a soft reset (even days later), windows mobile immediately sends those unsendable texts.
Fix:
Delete items from your drafts and/or outbox folder before doing a soft reset.
