Was having some issues with mms after flashing to htc wm6 rom a while ago, could not send/receive and had trouble deleting messages, so I decided to delete the cemail.vol for it to go back to default. Well after I deleted it and soft reset the phone, my mms folder had disappeared completely (can't even attach files in regular sms messages).
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Nevermind, I've hard reset the phone and got everything working again, did not want to go through this but oh well, thanks anyways.

Not sure if anyone else had this: I did a ROM upgrade on my XDA IIs, then restored all my data from a back up on my PC. most things seemed OK (though some GPRS settings were lost), but some old SMS messages and emails now show in the relevant folders, but have no 'envelop' next to them. I can't open them (you see the window try to expand, but nothing happens), and I can't delete them either! Even 'empty folders' doesn't work.
Does anyone know if there's a way of taking them out manually via explorer, or am I just stuck with them?
Thanks for any help

im having the same problem with my phone. i can send messages to deleted items but when i try to delete those althought they go away the number thats in deleted items shows in blue
Hello all!
Yesterday I made a backup of my call logs and SMS/MMS messages with PPCPimBackup, and today I reinstalled my phone using the official T-Mobile ROM, and i used PPCPimBackup to restore the backup.
Too bad, it didn't work. The call log was restored, but with the text messages it gave the following error: "ERROR_CSV_BAD_RECORD at line 936"
So I opened the backup with winrar, opened the .csm file containing the messages, and deleted line 936, compressed the .csm file back in the backup file, but it still would work. It said the file was corrupt, so I probably haven't compressed it right or something like that. Any way to still restore my backup, or is it permanently lost?
I can still read the messages from the .csm file, so maybe there's another program that can make a new backup from this file?

Hi Thaan.nl,
You shouldn't have done that. Compression is nothing to do with the file corruption. Deleting line 936 has mentioned by the error is not enough.
Your backup was fine, I can assure you, the problem resides in the csv parser, I know it is not perfect, and I already mentioned it.
Don't worry, nothing is lost (except line 936).
BTW, get the .csm file out of the .pib, open it with an editor like ultraedit which can show each individual record and showing line numbers.
Try to remove the whole text message that couldn't be parsed by the parser and do the restore. You don't need to put the .csm back in .pib, you can restore it directly.
Did you use PIM Backup 1.5?
If you need any help to restore your backup, don't hesitate to ask...
Cheers,
.Fred
Beware of this product. I restored backup messages to my mail account. After that I will no longer be able to send out any mail. The system says that my outgoing smtp server is incorrect, although it is correct. I tried deleting the account and recreate it but it does not help. The only way so far was to do a hard reset. It happened to me and caused me to do about 10 hard resets before I finally pinned it down to this being the culprit. I am able to recreate the problem very reliably. The addresses and appointment parts are okay. It's just the messages part that you should not use.
I have gone through too much pain with this, so I thought I should share it with all of you and be warned.
Cheers
PPCPim BACKUP IS KING!!

Hi There!
I'm using PPCPimBackup (Version 2.8) to get all my contacts from my K850i to my new Xperia X1.
I created a whole phonebook-backup from the K850i in different formats:
contacts.csc, contacts.pib, pb.ldif, pb.vcf, pb.xml.
PPCPimBackup could only use contacts.csc or contacts.pib. When i try to restore one of them i use the field delimiter "," and map the values.
When i start the restore, i get the following error-message:
Error (ERROR_CSV_BAD_RECORD) : Bad record found at line 128.Nothing done.
Does someone know why this problem does occur?
EDIT: I solved the problem by reading other threads... Because the "corrupt Line" was the last line in the contacts.csc i added a "RETURN" to last line and now the program works great!

I got a warranty replacement for my 8525 yesterday and immediately applied WM6 from HTC's website. Before using the phone at all after applying WM6, I loaded all of my old apps and software onto it and then restored a backup from my old phone. The backup consisted of only Email and the Personal Database and nothing else - no program files, nothing at all from Windows, and no Registry. I restored using Sprite backup and the "ROM" setting and did not select "Restore Databases".
So after doing all that I started playing around with the phone and noticed a few things missing: the Recognize function of Notes (that converts handwriting into typed text) and MMS. Neither of them exist in any of the menus. When I try to send myself MMS from my computer nothing happens. When I go into Contacts and try to send MMS nothing happens. There is no MMS Folder.
Do these functions no longer exist in WM6? Should I use a different setting and restore again? Am I missing an exe or a dll or something? What are the names of the exe's for these items anyway?
Oh, and none of my email is showing (ironic to me since that was one of the few things I selected to be restored) but I am not too concerned about that.
Thanks.
If I want to start from scratch, how should I go about it? Should I do a hard-reset? Or can I reapply WM6? If I hard-reset, does it go all the way back the way I got the phone out of the box (with WM5)? Or would it only go all the way back to WM6?
Thanks.
MMS I believe you should set up again (use, say, "Network Wizard" for that).
And as long as you have the backup, do a hard-reset and check before restoring it.
So your backup was from WM5?
If thats the case then it probably wont work correctly. Espicially SPB backup.
When I first upgraded I had that problem, the underlying data structure had changed.
I ended up going back to WM5, downloading PIMBackup from this site, then reinstalling WM6 and getting my contacts back through that. That worked for me.
But as far as Sprite Backup I cant be sure.
To save messing around, it might be easier to your network wm6 upgrade instead of the HTC one. That way MMS should already be set up with the correct settings..
I would like to push this thread up, because I also want to know what happened to the Recognize function of Notes (that converts handwriting into typed text). A friend of mine has this function in his german mda III (wm5) but i am missing this on my german htc touch (wm6).
Is it possible to activate this function with a registry tweak or am I missing an *.exe or *.dll file ?

Download "transcriber.cab" or variant. It was removed I suppose for extra space or some such..... That'll fix you up. Cheers...

thats not what I meant. Transcriber is built in and works great.
What I mean is the recognize function. You handwrite a note and save it.
Later you can open that note, go into option, klick on recognize and voila, the text is switched to typed text.
As I said my friend has this option in his older pda, I not.
What can I do to get this function again ?
I have wiped everything twice and am not getting any of the contact pictures to appear with my text messages. It happened when I first flashed Fresh .3 but I figured that something didn't wipe correctly. Anyone else see this? The contact pics show up normally under favorites and when scrolling through contacts.
Thanks
Everything shows up fine here. Idk what could cause that. Are you using the stock messaging app?
Yep, I haven't changed anything from the Fresh release with the exception of adding the voicesearch back in.
mine all show up fine too.
do this. delete the contacts.
then resync with google.
I finally fixed it! I opened an adb shell and used the find command to locate all files with mms in the name(find / -name *mms*) and purged them all. Then I reflashed Fresh 0.53 over my current install without doing any wipes and tada, it worked. Thanks for the suggestions.
Hi all -
I'm running Winner's pre-CM9 ROM (now on latest build) with Franco's milestone 2 kernel. The latest builds of the ROM are 4.0.4-based.
I had no problems on the previous versions, which were 4.0.3-based. A few days after upgrading to the 4.0.4-based versions (yes, I did do a full data/cache wipe first) and the 4.0.4 versions of the Google apps, someone tried to send me an MMS message. I have it set to auto-retrieve, but in this case it didn't. Tried to manually download it, and it failed. This has happened since with messages from other people from different carriers. If I try to SEND a pic via MMS, the app (stock Messaging app) just crashes. I can still receive regular text messages, but trying to delete some message threads causes the app to crash; some delete OK.
I'm assuming that I'm having problems with the database (/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db). I tried flipping the permission bits with Root Explorer, but that didn't change anything. Short of deleting and somehow recreating it (don't know if just "touching" the file will work) and losing all the data - is there anything else I can do to solve this?
Thanks!
Everything else is working fine.
Finally just deleted the database file (actually, just renamed and moved it) and it's working again, though I "lost" about 400K of data...the database file was somehow corrupted.
