Hi,
I'm new here, and have just upgraded my girlfriends MDA Vario II to Schap's 3.54 ROM, and everything appears to be working fine, apart from text messaging - which seems a bit strange. I was wondering if this is normal behaviour in WM6, and if not what might I be doing wrong?
I used PIM backup to backup the text messages she had before reflashing, and when I restore - the messages don't appear back in the SMS/MMS inbox. Also, if I send a text message to her, the message goes from the inbox when you do a soft reset on the phone (push the reset button on the bottom). Emails that are in the inbox disappear too.
Is there a setting to stop this, or have I cocked something up to cause this?
Thanks in advance! I'd never have realised you could do so much with these phones without this place...
Regards,
Brian.
I have the same over here. Now I copy my important SMS to my SIM card. Then I don't have this problem!
It's a workaround and is OK for me.......
If you close your messages program completely, instead of minimising it, your messages will be saved after a soft reset.
We've tried that, and they still seem to get deleted.
If you turn the phone off (press and hold the small power key on the side), then the messages are of course saved, and it seems as though they are then saved when you soft reset, but if you soft reset without doing this they get deleted..
By the sounds of this, it's a bit of a known bug then?
Brian.
reset button should only be used for two situations: hard reset or when the device hangs. Any other situation it's best to use the power button.
how fix this bug???
Its not a bug. When you use the power button (also a SR) the device is able to save settings, etc (including sms) before shutting down. Like pressing "shut down" on a PC.
The bottom button SR is an instant kill, you might say. Should only be used, really, if the phone freezes. Its like holding down the power button on your PC if it freezes. Therefore it will not save settings.
Just fyi, this hold true with regedits as well.

Sometimes PIM backup does not restore all the messages, you might have to restore again to make it work right...
I am not sure about disappearing...although, when the msg is unread and i happened to soft reset my phone, messages have disappeared before...i dont know any fix for that one..

Hey Brian. These guys are right. It's not a bug or issue at all. The phone just needs time to put stuff into memory that survives the soft reset. Using the power button to turn off and on should solve this.
use another rom
hi brian,
i had the same issue with some of the roms of schaps. the first two roms i used from schaps where working great with the messages. and they didn't get lost. with newer roms the problem occured like you described it. i also did some research, but it was a problem of the rom. you can wait really long (hours) before the sms is really saved.
so one of the first checks i run after installing a new rom is when the message itself is saved or do i loose messages after soft reset. my current rom "FuN_KeY_s_ROM_WWE_1.5.2" does not have this issue.
my suggestions: try another rom, maybe a newer from schaps!

Looks to me like you did not close the MESSAGING application properly! Only tabbing on the 'X' hides the application. Check in your settings if X BUTTON CLOSE FEATURE is enabled!
I encountered this behaviour of loosing messages, when I stored the
cemail.vol on my SDcard. Since I moved cemail.vol to standard location
(main memory, root) didn't have this problem once.
Just my 2 cents.

Just a guess here but how long were you waiting after recieveing the texts / emails etc before you did a Soft reset?
i find using the POWER BUTTON solves this problem .. not the reset button, seems to work for me hope that helps.
Its not JUST WM6, it happens on WM5 too and its to do with the message being stored in RAM rather than Memory (i beleive)

Ok ok this little gem has only reared is ugly head in the last few days! Sometimes when I click the contacts button the contacts list will not appear. I clear out any other running progs in case it is a mem issue but it still does not work even when using the menu from the start menu it will not work. Only when I do a soft reset do things return to normal. I rarley have other rogs running and this is a little frustrating... any Ideas?
same problem on the SX66
...across different versions of the Siemens packaged firmware.
I too would like to fix this pesky business.
Sometimes the contacts just hangs, but routinely won't appear when the program is called. Only soft reset fixes this.
Hi! I'm seeing this problem for a couple of times now and it has started since my X1 was new!
When a new msg comes in, i click on it and read it from the pre installed messaging app, then when I close it by pressing ok, Nothing happens!! And when I press the windows button and goto today, it still shows the new message icon! Even though I have already read it. Then the only way I can close the "messaging" app, is by going to the task bar. But even then it would still show as a new message! Final solution is to soft reset it!
Any thing I can do about this? I have seen this has happened a couple of times to me even before I upgraded my ROM from SE and performed a hard reset. And the problem still continues. Its so frustrating.
Click on the message, press ON the received message, make sure it is no longer in bold, then press OK at the top.
Buddy, thats what I jst told: It wouldn't do it. All of a sudden, when a message comes in, I read it and then click on ok, it just stays there doing nothing. I click on options and close and still nothing happens. Then I click on windows and "Today" and the message is still displayed as unread. Then I am just left with softreset and it comes back to normal.
You have ensured that the message is no longer in bold text, yes?
That is what this is all about. It doesn't say unread after I have read it. It remains in bold. What should I do?
What ROM are you using?

Click on the message in question (click on the bold text) until it turns normal.
if you are using threaded messaging (which should be the case),
you need to open the thread, and make sure you scroll over each message.
i noticed that issue happens when you have an earlier message which did not specifically have focus onto and stays bold ...
so the unread icon remains on the task bar.
so, be sure to go thru all the messages which are bold, in the thread.
this should safely solve the issue. (works for me since other WinMo phones...)
generally a windows 'bug', more than an Xperia bug.

I am using default ROM. Upgraded it with SEUS. No custom rom.
Press the sender's name located next to messages with the unopened letter icon.
there is a solution

Hi everyone,
i ve been gone through the same problem but not entirely similar. My problem aroused when i have installed r3a rom from genuine SE official site using update software. in my mobile it is showing that i have one message waiting to be read but when i click messages, to my astronishing it is empty, yet it is showing that i have a message. i tried many remedies but to no veil. Then as a final step i have to hard reset my device and believe me it is gone now. Everything is alright now. In this regard, i recommend once you hard reset your mobile and by gods will you will see the problem is vanished. Thankq
Hey all,
Have my phone on Vibrate and when I receive a Google mail the phone isn't vibrating and the LED isn't flashing. As far as I can see all options in Google mail and the phone settings suggest I should be getting both.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Russ
Hmmmmm a reboot seems to have fixed this, lets hope it doesn't get into a habit of it
didn't work for me, rebooted, but still no vibrate on new SMS, light flashing, tho
Apologize for cross-posting, but I'm getting frustrated with this. A reboot didn't help me either.
Everything was working before, but just today I noticed it refused to vibrate on email notifications. WinMo used to have a similar annoying bug, but it was related to replies. This bug is affecting all messaging notifications, i.e. Exchange, pop3, Gmail and SMS.
I've gone in to general settings and put vibrate on. I've gone into each account and turned vibrate on. I've gone into Messaging (SMS) and turned vibrate on. Vibrate is basically turned on throughout the system, but it's still not vibrating except for phone calls.
I've uninstalled all of the last apps I had installed to no avail.
Anyone with any advice?
Last resort could be hard reset

Not really keen on hard reseting, but will try that as a last resort.
I ended up fixing it with a hard reset.
First time around, I chose to reinstall the settings from the auto backup that was on the SD card, but I experienced the same behaviour.
Redid the hard reset and opted for cancel when asked about reinstalling the backup settings and all seems well so far.
Suspect it was a dodgy app or could have been that running the battery down flips a software switch to turn off vibrations, but the switch has a hard time flipping back. Will wait and see how long I can keep the vibrating notifications, but now I know how to solve it.
On another note, talk about a waste with that auto backup function. I mean, to really be useful you should be able to choose when it backs up and which backup you want to reinstall. Having it constantly backup settings like it does is bound to backup whatever went wrong in the first place. Oh well.
Hi,
I hope you guys can help me out here. I have a HTC P3300. ROM 3.7.707.1.WWE.
Yesterday, I took out my battery to transfer some files into my memory card (as per normal, but without pushing the off button for a few seconds) - and after I replaced my battery and turned on the device, my SMS for the past 6 hours or so has disappeared!
I tried the following but to no avail:
1. Push the "OFF" button and hold, until the warning message appears.
2. Taking out the battery and putting it back
3. No other idea what to do
Even after I delete some SMS and empty the trash can, and reset my device, the deleted SMS still seems to appear. Looks like the phone is loading up a snapshot of the SMS on a certain time...
Is there any expert who can give advice here? Deeply appreciate
Oh... and I'm not sure if this could be the reason:
a) If my SMS is full or ot?
b) Is there a virus?
c) Anything else?
Everything else seems to work - Contacts, Appointment....
Please... if there's anyone who could give some feedback...
the deleted sms that "reappears" can not be removed
yup, i faced this problem b4 and i decided that that SMS is corrupted
each time u delete it, it will reappear again
i already have thread on this just a few posts above/below
Thanks JMC. I tried that, and it appears that once we delete the message from the deleted folers, then the SMS will somehow be gone after we reset.
I really don't know what is the cost. Some say it's a bug, some say it's because I didn't turn off the device properly when I took off the battery.
There's still no solution....
Hi.
As the title says, I am having problems with freezing/lockups when receiving/sending SMS. It only happens with large message treads (300-800 msgs in tread).
To the problem, when I receive a new SMS and open it to read it, every thing is fine, but when I press the back button to exit, nothing happens for a while, then the screen goes black, and after a while a popup ask to force close or wait for program to respond. This can take from 10-45 seconds, mostly the latter.
If I just enter a msg tread, without recieving a new SMS or sending one, every thing works like a charm.
I am running Leedroid 3.08.02 on a HTC Desire/Bravo. And have 60Mb free memory. Also had this problem in Leedroid 3.07.
Did a full wipe of the phone when upgrading, and then restored my SMS.
PS. I am posting here since newbies arent allowed to post in developers section.
Hope for some smart feedback..
Thxs!
I had a similar issue using Go SMS on Leedroid 3.0.8.2. Sometimes when exiting SMS, phone would reboot. Didn't really solve it, just assumed it might be because memory was pretty full and/or caused by really long message threads.
Have been trying out LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.1 - Port today, sms seem to be snappier with no lag but then I have lost all the long threads when I swapped.
Same problem! Please help!

Same problem here, with the same ROM...
I have some similar problems. My phone freezes once a day. Did you try a different radio? I am thinking of doing so.
