WM6.5 Incoming Message time corrupted by 13 hours - Windows Mobile Software Development

Hi,
could someone please help me with the following.
I bought an LG GM750 operating WM6.5 Professional. I installed updated SPB shell, Time & Weather and Resco Audio as I had been using these on my WM5. I found that the Resco Audio did not perform properly and removed it. Subsequenty I also noticed that all my incoming messages time were about 13 hours ahead. System time, call times etc are all okay. I have been through the regional set up, 3rd party software etc and everything looks okay. I have already tried to remove all 3rd party softwares and reboot my device to factory set up many times but still have the corrupted time without 3rd party software.
I would appreaciate help in this area
Cheers

Could be server related. Ask if someone who's on the same provider has this same issue.

Hi Roma,
thanks for the reply. No wasn't server related as I verified it texting side by side with someone using the same provider (Vodafone). All outgoing texts were okay. His messages from me were with the correct time stamp but only his messages to me were marked with the 13 hours difference in time on my device.
Cheers

i had the same problem but mine was 5 hours behind,Try this
You need to add this to the registry: Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\
Add a dword key "TrustTimeZoneField" and give it a dword value of 0

btw, speaking of 2005.. is this working on wm2005?
thats Great
hey i downloaded it
sounds to be too great
wish i got it before i did a hardreset and lost my more than 1000 sms's

...If you need to do backups of everything (all messages AND contacts etc.) and you're within range of a PC when you do it, Jeyo Mobile Companion seems to do a brilliant job...

restoring of messages after hard reset
Hi,
I need help on restoring my messages..I did a hard reset on my XDA IIs and reinstalled smsbackup but was unable to restore the messages back..I opened the directory where I stored my messages in my storage card (that’s where I exported and backed up the messages to prior doing the hard reset), I was able to see all the stored messages..
I’m not too sure if I did my settings right but here’s how the settings being configured:
Output directory : \storage card
Execute directory : \storage card
The 2 main .dll and .exe files were placed in \windows\smsbackup
Would appreciate if I could have your valuable advise on this issue..Thank You..
I'm getting errors with this.
xMessage:GetAttachments
Read failed.
I've got the settings right for the paths, backing up to \My Documents\Personal
Any ideas? Or have I come across a bug? Does this app have any logs that anyone knows of for tracing this kind of issue?
I've been getting the same error message ... smsBackup just doesn't seem to work on my IIs either, and I've tried installing it immediately after a hard reset just in case it was due to some other program!
When it fails without effort, it sucks
Fails on my Harrier. (XV6600). Same error messages.
I'd use Jeyo, but they don't grok folders other than the
default folders.
Ehud
Anyone know who the author is of the software and how we can contact them?
I think the failure I am getting is related to an email that contains another email as an attachment.
Re: smsBackup, smsHide, Allexport
Hello,
It will be available a new program (not a new version) in few hours: smsOrganizer!
You will be able to use all functions of smsBackup, smsHide, Allexport and much more:
· Message Blacklist and/or Whitelist
· Message Backup/Restore manually or automatic by rules/profiles
· Message Encrypt
· Export Messages
· Forward Messages automatic by rules/profiles
· Hide/Unhide Messages manually or automatic by rules/profiles
· Reply Messages automatic by rules/profiles
· Store Messages in custom folders manually or automatic by rules profiles
· Message Tone for Contacts/Category/Phone Number by profiles
You can use the smsOrganizer trial version for free.
This program is full compatible with the following programs:
smsBackup
smsHide
Allexport (messages function only)
When you will use the smsBackup and the smsHide functions then the trial version of smsOrganizer allows you free to use maximal 3 functions (rules) – perhaps one for the backup and one for the hide function. And of course you will be able to export and restore your messages too.
So please download the smsOrganizer trial version for FREE!
If you like it, you can buy the program and use all of the functions.
Download smsOrganizer!

What about reading messages from and copying messages to the simcard itself? i cant seem to find software that can do that. kinda annoying, i cant read old messages from my sim. know any software that can do that?
Well...
Hi anevemkovacs...
...to be quite honest, I've had a disapointment with SMSOrganizer...
I've been using SMSBackup for some time... and I always used without a problem... but a while ago I was forced to change to SMSOrganizer (SMSBackup told me to go get a newer version and didn't let me use it anymore).
Well... I configured SMSOrganizer... and asked it to backup my SMSs (that's all I needed)... it took me ages and I wasn't able to finish the process!!!! When I used SMSBackup the process was completed in some 15 seconds (if it took that much)... Whit SMSOrganizer it was running for 15 minutes... and the process is almost at the beggining... :O((((
Do you think this is just some bug or does the increased funcionality of this new application makes it soooo slow?
Thanks for everything...
i like smsbackup whats with the forced upgrade? i'm curious to try smsorganizer but it may not sit well with some being pushed into it. is the smsorganizer trial version also time limited?
any chance making smsbackup available again? in case smsorganizer might not work out for me (angelito seems to be having issues with it).
Well...
Hi thorne...
Don't get me wrong... For what I've seen SMSOrganizer is quite complete... and it's a nice upgrade from the SMSBackup in terms of funcionalities... however... for me is way to slow (but it may be any bug or any configuration I have on my Qtek2020).
But I do, in fact, had all I wanted in SMSBackup... it was simple and fast.
(OH!!! I still wasn't able to do that backup since SMSBackup went on vacations )
Just to inform...
Hi thorne...
I haven't tried it yet... but there's an update to smsOrganizer (at http://www.zedsoft.net/, as usual). According to anevemkovacs it will correct the problem I had... I'll try it today, later at night... and I'll give a feedback on how it worked out.
About the time limit I really don't have a clue if smsOrganizer is also defined to last a certain amount of time... but I supose so... since both smsBackup and AllExport worked like that...
EDITED [06.09.2005 23h12]
I've tried the v1.01 and everything's OK now!
And the speed is just like smsBackup... I think you can migrate to smsOrganizer without fear now...
see ya!
thanks for the heads up dude! i'm gonna give it a try over the weekend
Wouldn't it be easier to just make a full backup from day 2 day?
I've tried the smsorganizer.. there's a new version online..
The backup bug has been fixed.. I've just manage to do a back up.
Export work as well too.. It creates a txt of the sms in the specified folder.
However store feature doesn't seem to work.. but that's secondary to me..
As long as I can backup and restore plus export them out.. I'm good to go..

Vanishing emailaccounts after install Jasjar update

Hello,
I update my MDA pro to the new imate ROM but my emailaccount keep vanishing after a softreset has anyone any clue?
Thanx
same here
but on my device it was like this also before the upgrade?
which device dou you have, and which rom you had before upgrading to the jasjar rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=161019#161019
dont soft reset using a stilys. Use a program to allow flush the file bufferssss
yeah, thanks but.
i know that and honestly i still have to try it. BUT:
I just want to know WHY this happens, and WHY other users with the same ROM as mine is DONT have this problem.
And, if i incidentally do a Softreset or maybe take out the battery, i lose my account again! thats not a solution for me.
Anyways thanks for your hint . apreciate that.
can you confirm my thought about the battery? or maybe its REALLY losing the accounts just after a Stylus reset?
It hapened to me time ago.. Some programs, like outlook, dont flush their databases buffers each moment. So, if you create a new account, or delete some mails or sms (this actions modify the database files managed by outlook) and then you reset your pda using the stylus, many buffer may be not empty so you loose that information. When you reset your pda using a program (it uses a API funcion that allow the buffers to be flushed to their files) all the information is saved in disk and you wouldnt hava to loose anything.....
thnx
thats was a clear explanation, thank you.
Any ideas why this happens only on some devices, even if they have the same rom?
I ve repeated the test right now. I have sent a email to my account in gmail(this account is configured in my jasjar). I ve connected using UMTS an and i ve downloaded the mail. then a i ve soft reset using stylus. When the device has booted i have launched pocket outlook and the mail wasnt there. I ve downloaded the mail again and a i ve done soft reset using a program (handy meny). When the system has booted the mail was there. Conclusion: I supose Outlook use the api fuction "CeWriteRecordProps" to update or insert a new record in the outlook database and probably Windows Mobile 2005 uses a buffer policy to reduce the access to these databases. so, if windows hasnt written this records fisically to disk then you can lose some information if you reset using stylus. When you use a program to reset, windows informs to the device drivers that "sleep" is in progress and they have to save the unsaved information so the disk driver has a chance so save all.
I hope Microsoft change this policy soon.....
so you...
...think this happens on all HTC Universals?
I think it happens in all Windows Mobile 2005 devices....
ok, i´ll let you know in the next days...
...then i´ll receive some more universals. and also one of a freind of mine, who told me that he hasn´t got this problem. i don´t know if its true, but we will see...
I don't know.I ve repeteated this test with my jasjar and my himalaya(with magneto) with same results
i can confirm...
...your description to 100% !
with a "soft"-softreset everything is fine.
and i´ve found out why other devices semmed to do NOT have the problem. Those users setted up their account, and had serveral (100+) mails ond their pop-server. Poutlook took a few minutes tu download headers and part of the messages. in this time the "buffer" was "written back" to the mail-db.
So: I think that for now, all the WM5, or at least all UNIVERSALS got this problem. Some user just don´t realize it.
Now that we (well,i) now that it is not a problem of just my device, FOR NOW i think i can live with this solution. btw, i use Pocket Plus 3 as task manager and Softresetter.
thnx dherrero.
Thanx DHerrero
After your tip I used spb pocketplus 3.0 and the softreset works wonderfully!
Thanx for the workaround hope they'll fix it soon because pocketplus makes the system very slow.[/list]
strange....
With Pocketplus my system runs fast as always, no problems at all.
Pocketplus
Probably due too a combination of software then.
I'll work it out if you say its not due too SPB Pocketplus
Thanx
you re wellcome. There are many programs to soft-reset the device "softly" and thye dont brake the system.... For example Hany Menu and much more.. :lol:

WM6 T-Mobile US Beta Build 17224.0.1.0 Calling Home?

After every restart, I receive the following text message:
<sisr:RZufTBoOhCcgkA5IVA=:1:1:0>http://70.103.79.209/;+447624806186;XXXXXXXXXXX;F9tKNrMDROAD+YTw1/MEnPqRqbKkjkQ
The XXXXXXXXXXX is my phone number. The tangled bits of alpha after the sisr: tag and my phone number change every time.
I’ve tried to break apart this cryptic SMS message into parts to better understand it.
First was the <sisr: variable >tag, I’ve never seen this before. I googled and was able to find the following documents.

I get this same freaking msg with every reboot and changes each time to a diff msg. Not sure we shud call that company.
I accidently went to http://70.103.79.208/ by accident. (typo) and came up with some site about "SNAPin Software"
(possibly http://www.snapin.com/)
New feature in wm6? The address book sync thing?
I got the same message once, while playing around with the Excalibur i deinstalled the pre-installed software, and now i do not get any more messages.
Which pre-installed software
Tag,
Which software did you uninstall to make the default boot SMS message go away?
Tchuss,
jromney
Can not say, which software, because i deinstalled ALL preinstalled SW.
I didn't uninstall anything and I stopped receiving the txt's after 10 or so reboots.
Hope that helps.

\Program Files\SNAPin, i tried to delete this folder, two files could not be deleted, sihome.exe and siwatcher.exe, so i renamed them and deleted them after reboot.
There also exists a registry entry, HKLM\Software\SnapIn\SMS\Inercepts\<sisr
I tried to delete the SyncManager software link out of the \windows\startup folder and that didn't help.
After I deleted the Voice Command.lnk out of the StartUp, I only got 1 text message.
AND WHY DOES MY HOMESCREEN KEEP SETTING TO THE T-MOBILE BLUE?!?!?
GRRRRRR...
All of these happen after the device boots up. Something is running to initialize everything back to default.

Have you got any kind of Silent SMS traffic coming to your phone ?
I have the T-Mobile mail manager sending silent SMS triggers to my phone, and I noticed that the SMS's it sends out (identified with 701) were not being processed silently - but were showing up in my inbox.
I have reverted back to the stock build too.
are you using the msn messanger program? i noticed that when i sent our received emails using the windows live account that test messages were being sent so i will sign out of that program
I just checked and I have 17 sms messages sent since installing yesterday. I haven't used any mail or IM program or anything that would rely on SMS.
I am NOT pleased

Is There A Real Fix For Disappearing Email Accounts?

POP Email accounts and elements of Network setting disappear once in a while.
It happens with all the new ROMs. I've done the mUn thing, where one opens a connection, stops it and restarts. But the accounts still disappear, sometimes after weeks of use, sometimes after just a few days.
There is an app to resurrect the missing email account, but after you still have to input servers and address. Just very annoying while traveling.
What is the damned problem and is there a permanent solution?
I have changed the file registry type (File based registry) from "Hive" to "File" using tweaks2k2 and it seems ok, someone else needs to cross check it
please explain
I also would avoid this repetitive problem , could you please how to try , step by step , in simple words ?
thanks
Thanks, taiseer999! I just changed to File, keeping my fingers crossed. BTW, how long have you used it after the change without loss of settings?
tower5, you need tweaks2k2 (it has 3 changes trial and go to System Tricks/Collection 5. Check File Based Registry (WM5).
Hopefully this works (it sounds like it should.)
P.S. Perhaps. if this really works, the ROM chefs can integrate it into the ROMs. Is there any disadvantage to using File rather than Hive?
I´ve been following all the steps that mun_rus wrote down and after the last upgrade I didn´t do it right away so I lost my e-mail accounts quite a few times and when I try to set the same account up with the same name and settings the pda pops up a message saying that there´s another account with the same name and I don´t know where and I don´t see it.
But now I guess it´s working fine,after several soft resets my new account it´s till there.

Checked mail last night, a little later went to check again, and the email account had disappeared.

What is the reason this is happening? To ALL the new ROMs?

yes, mailrepair.exe do recover the mail account.
but the main problems is not only about mail account, it is a datebase lost or cert lost.
even u recover the mail account and setup all the password again to make the wm system continue working, it became unstable anyway.
once account lost, best way out is hard-reset.
in daily use, avoid to reset the handset as much as possible.

It's a security feature of wm6, bugged of course.
Disabling file system cache can help (I've never lost email account until now) but you still have to take care to close PO before a soft reset.

been using RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship for a good while and the e-mail accounts don't even think of disappearing...so there you go...
I have also used Dobod-wwe in my HTC since it was released and never had issues with mail accounts. Also tried pdaviet and Bepe but original dobod was most stable for my HTC.

just started using ax3l's lite rom, wi-fi settings and mail accounts seemed to stay there no problem untill I installed network wizard. After that everything disappears after every reset. Could that be the cause....?
just when I got most of my apps neatly reinstalled and all....has to be done all over again...at times like these I really have to fight the temptation to throw the thing against the wall...Thankfully I got an N95 as well which never loses settings so back into the pocket the P3600 goes, hail the N95
will update on that settings /mail accs business when I get the nerve to reinstall everything again
Yay, got my accounts back! Thanks!
I'm not going to pretend to know what I'm talking about, but I can tell you that in the past, it was mentioned that it had something to do with the Old and New Kernels. The Old one (WM5) was fine, while the new one (WM6) is not. At least that's what I THINK I remember.
Anways, for whatever reason, my ROMs don't have this problem. Here are a couple that I know avoid it:
[KITCHEN+ROMS][WWE][Jun.28.2010] WM6.5.1 23504 - WM6.5.5 23569 M2D Blue Re-Visit
[KITCHENS+ROMS][WWE][ITA][Nov.04.2009] WM6.5 23504 - Sorry NOT FOR P3600i! OFFLINE
[KITCHENS+ROMS] [WWE] [10.27.2009] WM6.5 23081 - Sorry NOT FOR P3600i!
I have used the same Kernel in Most all of my Kitchens, so maybe that is it...

Uninstalling MS Voice Command

Does anyone know how to uninstall this? When i try to do it on the phone or over Activesync I get a warning message that it could not remove all of the program and ultimately the entire program is still installed. It takes up too much room for what it does (and I think there's a battery issue with it as well) Thanks

Try using the Uninstall application of this program: http://www.dinarsoft.com/memmaid/ Once the program is uninstalled, just delete the remaining folders and then run the Quick Clean and that should remove all remnants of the Uninstalled program.
Thanks. It helped to remove mobitv and xmradio which were entirely useless to me and took up a lot of room. However, when I tried to uninstall memmaid it left a few bits behind - there are folders remaining in the program directory... in fact the MobiTv icon still exists in my program directory leading me to beleive that it's just deleting a folder and not removing the program from my reigstry, etc. It's a start though. Thanks again
Re: uninstall
This may be a silly question, but was VC cooked into the rom originally or did you install it yourself? If it was cooked in you will not be able to remove it. (As is true for any cooked in application.)
Best wishes,

Quick question; when using MemMaid, did you use the Quick Clean with all items checked? by default not all are checked.
Dead shortcuts
Dead Registry
Bad uninstall (files)
Bad Uninstall (Registry)
These are just a few items I would make sure are checked..
Thanks for the help guys. It was not part of a cooked rom and after checking the boxes on memmaid and rebooting a few times VC is gone (and 5 megs are free). After uninstalling memmaid (it's 900k - I can't keep that around ) it just left an empty folder called "Handyswitch actions" that I'm just going to manually delete. Thanks for the help. I was this close to deciding between keeping Skyfire and outlook

Sorry, during install of MemMaid you could of unchecked the handyswitcher and whatever extras you didn't need and they wouldn't have installed. Glad to see you has some success though.

You can't install MS VC to storage card and have it work correctly unfortunatly.
I've had same issue whilst installing MSVC to storage card and had tp install it to phone. I also had same problem trying to uninstall it. Luckily I wanted to upgrad my ROM which solved the problem
As I've been using my phone I learned there's a new glitch - if I use autocomplete to fill in text or complete an email address, etc it crashes my phone (I think pasting text does too). This didn't happen a day ago so I think there's a connection to the uninstallation of VC. I've reset it 5 times and it's always the same result. The screen becomes nonresponsive, switching to landscape mode takes about 45 seconds and doesn't solve anything and both the onscreen keyboard (Happy Tapping) and the hard keyboard fail to function. If I wait it out I can get the start menu to drop down and get to the Today screen but navigation is still brutally slow there and the email sits. I Use o2plus and it shows apps are running but doesn't state them (it's pOutlook that is frozen). Any ideas? I wish PPC had 'last good state' like Windows... thanks again
I have VC on my memory card and have no problem... Dont know why you have though.

More specifically when installing to SC anything bluetooth related doesn't work.
