I actually was 50% sure about that solution (as usual) and have never managed the sim as I haven't stored stuff there for long time (many phones before). Maybe the foolproof solution would be entering the sim to an ordinary phone and if they appear there also then just brutally delete them all
Good idea ill give that a go thanks!
hi,
I'm having a bit of a problem. Yesterday someone gave me his number, but I saved it under the wrong contact name. so after changing it I thought the number would be saved as well. But for some reason this did not happen, so I lost the number. Thing is, it is very important for me to recover this number.
My question to you guys, is there any way to see what keys I pressed to see what the number was, or did I screw up bigtime?
With kind regards,
Jeroen
so heres my issue dopey me set a lock pattern coz the ex was coming over. Of course I set it in a hurry not once but twice (the confirmation screen). Now its stuck saying too many attempts...
I did manage to highjack the menu while it restarted with the USB tether in place. Now its not letting me even do that anymore. Looks like my only recourse is a hard reset.
Before i do that, is there ANY way I can back up my text messages. (i have legal reasons to try to score the data. I am logged into it via adb at the moment...I even tried to root the phone. and highjack root by unmounting and remounting that didn't work I know which two directories i need to edit in. And that G1 forum talks about setting a variable from 1 to 0 that doesnt work because the directory is flagged 0771 and owned by system (yup I captured the init.rc file.
anywho thoughts idears, (break my heart coz i have to flush my phone...)
No back up? That sucks
Sent from my Liquid using XDA App
of the texts?? you can do that ? lol I have lookout.com on there which I am disappointed i does not backup my 200 contacts. but as i said I have everything else off there I even have an SD card I can plug in and copy to...
First off there should be a file somewhere on the phone not sure where ire what the name is right now i will look into it. Sms backup+ or use Google voice sms right into your email account might help ibm the future.
so i rootkitt'ed my phone..... still can't chmod or chown. its sitting over there sadly looking at me locked... defunct saying "reset me!"
I've done that before, but after 5 attempts there was a button in the lower right corner that let me sign in with my google account. Do you not have that option?
software bug apparently its broken.
Hi,
Suddenly I can't open my mail anymore, I have energy rom and when I go to the mail or text message tab it just restarts (after a while doing nothing).
I also can't open it using poutlook.exe
Any ideas? I don't really mind having to hard reset, but would love to be able to save my text messages, however, PIM backup and any other way I tried (i.e. MyPhone) doesn't seem to be able to get them anymore...
I don't know how long I will postpone just doing a hard reset, because I also want to be able to receive my text messages off course...
TIA
Just out of curiosity, which version are you using? I don't know if I can help but I'd like to know which one you are using so perhaps we can isolate it to either an old ROM or possibly a corrupt version.
Well, I just happen to be copying the rom folder to a usb disk and it says:
EnergyRom21916Sense25cookie20feb14
I don't think I recall any of those issues on my phone (at&t Fuze) with the 21916 ROM from 14FEB, sorry!
OK
It seems the problem was a corrupt cemail.vol... which kinda sucks, because I can't seem to be able to get my text messages out of it.
Anyway, I'm going to hard reset (device was getting slow anyway), I have a backup of cemail.vol, but no idea how to get my messages out of there... I feel another topic coming up :s
Thanks for trying to help.
Interesting, wish I was a programmer so I could help debug it at least
If that is what is called for, then by all means! You seem to know your way around how to check files and know what some of the files do and the likes, I'd say go for it but I wouldn't want to support the need for additional thread space when you can just edit the first post to reflect it. Ah the power of technology! Drool drool drool!
THIS METHOD IS DEPENDANT OF THE TOWERS NEAR YOU. PLEASE READ THE END OF THIS POST TO SEE A QUOTE FROM LEADPOIZON ABOUT THIS.
Alright, after searching time and time again. Trying time and time again... And Failing time and time again... (jejeje) I was finally successful at sending multiple messages through the HTC Arrive... I feel so stupid for not trying this as one of the first things but hey... You gotta deal with your own stupidity at times ... jejeje.
Anyway, what you guys have been waiting for...
HOW TO REMOVE THE 160 CHARACTER SMS LIMIT ON WP7
(I can only try this on the HTC Arrive as I do NOT have any other WP7 device)
I HAVE TESTED THIS ON ANSAR's CUSTOM ROM'S (16.04 TANGO V1 8773) DFT's CUSTOM ROM (Freedom V1) LEADPOIZONS ROMS (ALREADY INCLUDED IN SETTINGS ON BOTH 7.5 AND 7.8 ROMS) SIANTOS ROM (WP7.8 ALL)
BUT AS OF NOW, ITS DEPENDANT ON THE COMMUNICATION TOWERS NEAR YOU
Use the included REGISTRY EDITOR on EITHER ROM's to edit entree:
1.) Go to HKLM\Comm\Cellular\SMS\Router\CDMA and change the Contantenation entry from a 0 to a 1
2.)Select the EXIT from the Registry Editor
3.) Go to your text messages and try to send a 161+ character text message to YOURSELF
DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION, YOU MAY RECEIVE THE MULTIPLE MESSAGE... IF YOU DONT, CONTINUE TO HOPEFULLY TROUBLESHOOT
4.) REBOOT YOUR PHONE!!!
5.) Once your phone is back up, go back to the text hub and click on RETRY SEND to send the text message.(This message will leave this time with no response from the Messaging App.)
***WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO TO RECEIVE THE MESSAGE, IF YOU DONT RECEIVE THEN FOLLOW THE NEXT STEP***
6.) Go back to your text hub and TYPE A NEW 161+ character message and try to send yourself again. This time you should receive 2+ messages after going through the network.
You can combine this tweak with my unlimited MMS size tweak and you are good to go!!! You can now have unlimited SMS characters and MMS size... jejeje
(For the MMS post, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606865 )
THERE YOU GO... 160+SMS MESSAGE IS POSSIBLE THROUGH WP7... HTC ARRIVE... THANKS GO OUT TO ANSAR AND DFT FOR THE ROMS AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO LEADPOIZON FOR ALL THE HELP.
`-`-`-`-`-`UPDATE REGARDING THE COMM TOWERS, IF YOU HAVE ISSUES, PLEASE READ`-`-`-`-`-`
SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT SUCCESS STORIES/FAILURES WITH THIS TWEAK WE HAVE BEEN PURSUING A "GLOBAL" FIX... JEJEJE. AFTER MUCH TESTING, LEADPOIZON CAME UP WITH WHAT WE THINK MAY BE FINAL RESULTS...
leadpoizon said:
MY FINAL RESULTS:
This method is dependent on the towers near you, because of the following*:
Some Mobile Phone Operating Systems are designed to split up texts whens they are sent over the 160 character limit before they are sent to the network (even dumb phones can do this). Windows Phone does not seem to have this capability, it sends your message in its' entirety to the network and hopes that the network can sort it out into split texts. The problem is, not all Sprint towers seem to support this. For that reason, Sprint completely disabled the option to send a text over 160 characters.
When you know this method will work**:
1. Make the registry Edit (Reboots is not really needed, WP dynamically monitors the registry, it seems.)
2. Send yourself a text over the 160 characters. (It should allow you to after the registry edit.)
3. The text will give you an error either instantly or in a few minutes.
4. Reboot, if you want (just to be sure.). Then, resend the same text.
5. It will send without errors and you should receive the content back in more than one text. Done.
When you know this method will NOT work**:
1. Make the registry Edit (Reboots is not really needed, WP dynamically monitors the registry, it seems.)
2. Send yourself a text over the 160 characters. (It should allow you to after the registry edit.)
3. The text will not give you an error. After a LONG time (an hour or so, you will get the error.)
4. During the time between you sending the text and receiving the error, your MMS and SMS will be broken and you most likely will not receive or be able to send texts.
5. Reboot your phone and things should be back to normal. Change the registry back to default value to avoid making an accidental text over 160 characters. Go yell at MS and Sprint.
* Only speculation after my trials
** YMMV

I've tried this registry key before without success, but I tried your directions anyway. I'm running the DFT Freedom ROM, but I never get the first "can't send" message. After rebooting, I can send texts like normal until I try to send one that is 161+ characters long. Then all messages fail to send, regardless of length until I reboot again. There has to be some other setting or registry key change that you have which, in combination with he CDMAConcatenation entry, allows it to work on your handset. I believe you did it, we just need to figure out what the magic combination is!

I would agree with you except that I have reset the phone (Even FULL FACTORY RESET WITH ANSAR's)... Flashed to DFT and tried it, then flashed back into ANSAR's rom and tried it again... It worked when I did exactly the top... For some reason... I litteraly made this the ONLY edit on those ROM's to ensure it worked... and it did...
EDIT 1: And you did follow to the letter correct? No other texts until the process was done? I am currently downloading a STOCK ROM... I will flash to it and try, then I will flash back and report my findings... Again, as of now, I have been able to follow the directions I have posted and been successful 100% of the times...
I can't follow to the letter because I never get the "can't send" message. Otherwise, yes, I've followed the instructions exactly. No other texts incoming or outgoing besides the ones in your instructions.
I wonder if it's dependent on a setting at the tower or on the account within Sprint's systems that allows this?

I was thinking thesame thing... to an extent... You know how Microsoft was resetting devices as they were being unlocked? That is, once you synched with their server, your unlock would be gone...
When I first tried this it did not work... I gave up that day and came back to it yesterday... I have to say that the tweak was in my system for at least 24hrs... maybe there is something that has now bypassed this on MY particular account? I dont know...
Also: I just flashed a stock (Well not unlocked/tweaked/or anything) ROM and did a full factory reset, then I updated my PROFILE and PRL just to make sure that no settings were left on the phone from the previous flash. I then proceeded to flash the DFT ROM and all I had to do was the registry edit, when I went to the messaging... I sent the 161+ sms...
I dont know... Id have to say something flicked the switch... on one side or the other... Would you mind checking tomorrow throughout the day to see if this may be the issue...
If this is the issue, it makes sense why nobody had found it yet, they did the edit and did not let it get "registered" in their phone??? jejeje... Too many questions... jejeje
Interesting theory. I'll keep the setting on and try again tomorrow to see if there is any change. Thanks for the help!
Worked on my Ansar 8773 V1 install! Thanks! Only complaint I had with this phone up to now.

Yeah, I just wish I knew why it wasn't working for dandrayan. Not enough to flash DFT Freedom to my Arrive though
Thanks Man. It worked for me without rebooting on dft. I made the change, and tried to send a 161 test to myself. It sent fine with no error and I received both texts within a minute. Thanks!
Awesome work! Now to release a ROM.
Cant wait to see what you bring to the table man! Thanks again.
I'm using the Ansar v1 rom and this reg edit doesn't work for me. Does it depend on area? I'm in the north jersey. When I try to send a message to myself longer than 160+ characters, I either get no reply whatsoever or I get the following error "can't send message Try again".
Any suggestions? I tried rebooting.. updating prl.. updating network profile.. doesn't work for me.

when u get this msg...
1.) REBOOT the phone.
2.) Go back to sms and click retry... it should go but no response for a while...
3.) type new 161+ sms and send to yourself again.
Let me know.
EDIT: And I know you probably have tried this but just give it a shot again... Also, go back to the registry and re-edit the string, save again and click MENU then EXIT to leave the application. REBOOT and try to re-send

I was able to reproduce this only once and with a few tries and only when texting myself. Do you have this working completely after this edit and are able to send others texts?
Been texting like crazy man...

Yep, ive been texting more now that the limit is gone... I dont have to worry about my limit being reached... So ive been sending multiple part messages to everyone... jejeje
Anyway, to be safe and to hold some proof (not that I need it... jejeje) here is a picture of my HTC Arrive (left) and my wife's Evo 3D (right). I sent a 3 part message and she received every one of the pieces... I made sure my phone had nothing on it (yes, reset it AGAIN... jejeje) as you can still see the RED accent color... jejeje...

Cool, thanks. There must be some reason why I can't get it to work.
Time to find out why... Did you have to do that procedure after you reset the device to factory settings, or did you just do the registry change and that was it?

Just went to the REGISTRY and changed it... That was it. Didnt have to do the procedure after the first couple of times that I tried it... I do have to say that whe I try it I do it with a CLEAN INSTALL... I dont know if that is the difference in my success since I flash the ROM squeaky clean and do the edit from the beginning (since I have been testing didnt want something else to mess with this...)
Dont know what is the issue... Some people have reported to be working fine, others are having issues... hmmm... dunno what to say at this time...

I wonder if this has to do with what plan people have... Like, I don't pay the $10 data charge. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Now, I did have issues at the beginning while trying to make this work... However, once it worked, it seems that it has not stopped working...
And I DO pay the $10 for data so... that MAY be something to look into...
