Hi,
Need some help..
Can any body let me know how I can save SMS's permanentlly as after a hard reset they are gone.
So if there are some files on which in which SMS’s are saved I can make a backup of that files and replace them after a hard reset..
Please if anyone has anything on this matter then please let me know....
Hi Perci,
I have had this problem before. the only solution I found ut was to take regular incremental back ups , so in case of a hard reset u can always restore most of your data. Thats the practice I follow.
But wonder if nay one else has a better solution on storing / backing up the specific data like sms ONLY.. thats would be great..
Have u got any idea on how to transfer SMS data from a Palm O/S to XDA II ?
Regards,
Hi.
I use Jeyo Outlook extender. It saves your sms in a folder in Outlook, just like e-mail. Very easy to use.
SMS backup
If you are using XDAII, this this program can let you save your contact and SMS in a file and later when you run this program to restore the data. I usually backup these data in my storage area and restore it therefrom.
However, this is Chinese version (do you know whether you can understand Chinese), and it works only for XDAII - I tried this for my IIs, does not work.
thanks for the software
thanks for thwe software
but as it is in chinese I cannot understand a thing....
if you could please put the screen shots here with english explanation it will be of great help
if possible please provide the chinese font also..
thanks.

Made a stupid mistake and deleted the contacts shortcut in my startup folder. I then loaded softkeys! I now have no way of going back to my contacts on the right softkey. I have looked throughout my windows folder for the pcontacts and I can't find it. I love Black 2.0 and won't go back! Don't want to have to reset for this stupid mistake. Can someone help or post their contacts shortcut here. Thanks!

You can create the link yourself with...
:MSCONTACTS?outres.dll,-10000
and then put the shortcut in any place.
Thanks for the reply....I am still in the dark about your answer....do you mean to place this in the registry or somewhere else. I hate to sound like such a noob.
I got it....thanks for the help! You guys are awesome
Contacts won't open!!
I recently upgraded to Black pro 2.0. I love it! However, I used spb backup 1.5.5 to backup my pim info (mainly contacts). Now, when I restore my pim I can no longer open contacts. I tried using the softkey, tried openning it using the phone utility. I tried going back to 2.11 ROM... but the problem persists. I even tried to use other backup programs but still come across the same problem. Other programs that use the contacts database (like Vbirthday) can't access the contacts either. I have Agendus installed and when I go to the contacts in the Agendus menu all my contacts are there, so I think this is a problem in the shell or maybe a registry fix would do the trick... I don't know. I appreciate any help.

Id strongly advise NOT to use spb backup....there are such differences in the new Black ROM that restoring a backup can cause allsorts of problems.
The BEST thing you can do is to get yourself signed up for an exchange account somewhere like mail2web....you get push email but more importantly for you the contacts are synced......so even after a hard reset all it takes is a quick sync and your contacts/calendar/tasks and emails are back in the device.

Thanks for the reply! But I was actually hoping for a way to restore my contacts from my storage card, since I have over 300 contacts it would take me too long to type it all back again. There must be a way to fix this problem. Well... I'll keep trying to find an answer; thanks anyway.

Take the plunge dude once your info is in exchange it is automatically updated if you add or remove a contact etc.....SUCH A SERIOUS TIMESAVER.
and doesnt rely on SD cards or anything else.

Can you export with Agendus and then HR and import?
I'm saying cause seems that restore with SPB Backup dosn't work with contacts in the way it must to do. I try to use in the past, and finally take all my critical information to an exchange server activesync.

Before I upgraded to Black Pro 2.0, SPB backup would work fine even with contacts. I never had any problems with WM5 1.35 ROM. What do you mean by HR? (sorry if this is a stupid question).

HR = Hard Reset
when you say you never had any problem, means that you tested to restore the same backaup before, and this same backup now in Black 2.0 dosn't work?
Or you are trying to restore diferents backups?

Same backup. Won't work in Black 2.0. I did what you suggested (exported a contact from Agendus to my storage card in csv format), HR but can't (don't kknow how to) import it neither with contact nor with Agendus.
Maybe I should just downgrade to WM5 1.35 again. Could anyone tell me how? I tried running the upgrading utility for 1.35 ROM but it doesn't recognize the usb connection. I thought it might be a problem with the SPL 1.40 Olipro and changed to 1.10 Oli... still the same problem. I tried changing it to 1.10 MGF but mtty won't recognize the usb connection either. It's not a problem with my usb port because everything else works fine, including the phone syncronization. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks mrvanx! I'll try it later. But first, one last attempt to solve the problem... maybe the culprit is not Black 2.0 but radio 1.38.

I was wondering why people advise an exchange account instead of simply syncing with outlook. I use outlook to sync contacts and appointments and it works well as a backup... After my Black VI upgrade simply connect and sync. So am i missing something ?

I think you can Import your exported CSV into Outlook, and then sync with TyTN trought ActiveSync.

There are same advantages doing with exchange (like i see):
First of all, you can sync in any place, trought GPRS or 3G, so you dosn't need be connected to your PC to restore your information.
Second, the servers normally has their backup policy, so your information is more secure.
Thirt, every time you change one elemment in contacts or calendar, this change sync on the fly to server, so your information is the same in server and in ppc everytime.
After three years of use, this is the most secure method i find to take this information secure and avaylable.

Thanks for the tips. I went back to WM5 1.35, restored my info with SPB backup and it worked. So I syncronized with Outlook, went back to Black 2.0 and syncronized again... contacts and tasks back to my device and working fine. Now I'll see about this exchange mail. By the way... which is the best one? P.S.: could this problem I had be something of interest to Jasjamming? Since Black is his ROM and had some compatibility issues with various backup programs... maybe he would like to have a look at it. Thanks again.
Hi guys,
well this is annoying me, if I go into the messaging options and click on new account, nothing happens.
Also under messaging options, if I click to edit existing gmail or yahoo account, nothing happens.
A hard reset solves it but as soon as restore the backup, same again. Also start again from hard reset is not an option as have 20-30 programs installed over the last year.
Does anyone know the file or dll that is used for mail options, I could copy it into place or understand the registry key that allows this and could export from hard reset build to my backup build.
Ok I know what you want a shirt but what size? Is it for men or women or boys or girls?
Meaning! What ROM are you using? What kinda Hermes you have? What radio ROM are you using? Is there a conflicting program to email that you are installing? You said HR solves it, so that means its a problem with the program that you are installing! Do it one by one and test and see which causes the issue!
Also email settings are maintained in registry, there is not dll for it.
Sorry for minimal information
It is a Imate Jasjam with dopod vanilla WM6 build. So it must be something in the registry.
Do you recommend that I export all the keys associated to mail from the clean build after a HR - I could then import these into the original build once backup restored.
What do you think?
Thank you

Yes see if that helps to solve the problem. Make sure you going to back up your data before you HR. Good luck.
I have a Redmagic 6 Pro and just did a System Update to the latest OS - NX669J_UNCommon_V4.21.
Messages is now not showing Contact Names. Most of my contacts are setup with international Codes +XX. Messages is showing local number 0XX.
Is there a fix for this?
P.S. This has changed as there was no issue prior to the update.
I am having the exact same problem. Very frustrating. If anybody can find a fix it will be very much appreciated. If not hopefully they issue a patch to correct this problem sooner rather than later.
Is anyone else having this problem?
There were similar reports for other users back when Android 9 was released (on other devices).
If you haven't already, try clearing the cache of the messages app; if that doesn't work, try clearing data and cache (shouldn't affect you actual messages, but back up just in case) and finally, try uninstalling the last update to the app (if you can) and reinstall afterwards.
Also, make sure messages has permissions granted to access contacts. Make sure the international code is present in contacts phone numbers.
I don't have a RM6 (got 5G) - my spouse does but hasn't updated yet.
UPDATE: FOUND FIX.
1- In factory Contacts app, open advanced settings and export v.card back-up of contacts.
2- Clear data and cache in factory Contacts app, phone app, and messaging app.
3- Reboot phone.
4- In contact app, import v.card back-up to phone and default Gmail.
5- All should be good.
(Not all steps may be necessary.. it's just what I did to get things working).
Hey mate. Thanks for this. I actually cleared contact data and resynced back to my Google account and I think that also fixed it (for some reason I couldn't find the vcard after I exported).
Another issue I have noticed. If you get a Message from an unknown Contact you can Choose "Add Contact" but there is nowhere to add a new Contact, only to search and add to existing.
Thanks for your follow up.

Can confirm - clearing data on contact storage is all that's needed.
