Hi, I using O2 XDA IIs, with WM 6.5.21888 cooked by d-two here, and the SMS are threaded by default. But, sometimes, when I have to hard reset my device, and restore my PIM data using dot's Fred PPC PIMBackup 2.8, it doesn't sorted correctly. It looks like this:
Sender (31/7)
Text blah ...
Sender (29/7)
Text blah ...
Sender (13/7)
Text blah ...
Sender (20:07)
Text blah ...
Sender (20:10)
You see, the order of the date is wrong, but when I start a conversation after restore, it will be ordered correctly, just like the last two.... When I turned off the SMS Threading, my messages are sorted correctly too. So, to see my past message (that I get from Backup) sorted correctly, I have to install a third-party software (like SMS-Chat)...
Why this could be happen?? Is this a Bug or what?? Anybody have any ideas??

My inbox shows 6 messages, but once you clik to enter, it only shows 1K on the right side and nothing ever opens up, the rest of folders seem OK, even new ones. It is something that affects only SMS messages and that I could not repair by reinstalling the program.
Has anyone faced the same problem and found a solution? It is rather annoying when you are abroad, like I am now, not being able to read any of my text messages.
Thanks,

Slightly different I think, mine would show that I had new text messages but would not display them, the inbox would appear empty, I was using Sprite backup, and discovered that sometimes it would corrupt the mail database after a restore, so downloaded their cleanmail program.

It will all delete all email accounts, text messages and the MMS account but I don't use mms so not to bothered.
Thanks, will try, although it seems I will not be able to read some txt messages, but looks like the only option.
i never thought cleanmail is so useful.
after restoring from a hard reset, about 800+ messages got corrupt and showed up as 1kB messages that wouldnt ever open.
cleanmail trashed em all just like bubbles.
Thanks a lot! Once my text messages account disappered and it can only be fixed with hard reset. With this program i was able to restore from backup and fix the problem! Thanks again!
WHAT A USEFUL TIP
Hey! This cleanmail thing is fantastic!
WHAT A USEFUL TIP.
I don't know who I want to marry more - spritesoftware for coding the app or bluetba for giving the heads-up!

Hey all,
I recently upgraded my Kaiser from WM6 to 6.1 using the official upgrade tool Vodafone UK supplied me, and all went without a hitch, so much so that I think I'm gonna try out Hyperdragon III while I'm on the "doing funky things to my phone" bandwagon. I have noticed one problem though, and I figure it'll probably be a problem when I reflash too so I'm trying to solve it now.
When I imported all my contacts and SMS messages (which I backed up using sprite), I though it was all fine. I opened my SMS inbox and watched as it built the threaded list, etc, and everything was good until I received a new message. The sender was in my contacts list, and had previous messages in the threaded view, and as intended, the new message added to their "thread". But as soon as it did, the thread had their number instead of the contact name as the title.
I did some experimenting, and this happens everytime I get a message from someone who previously had a named entry in the inbox, but if I get a message from a newly created contact, it works fine.
If I go into a thread from someone who hasn't sent me a post-upgrade sms yet, their name is displayed properly, but when I click on it (which should bring up a screen displaying their details), I get a message saying the number isn't in my contacts and would I like to add it.
Sorry if this has been answered before, I had a look and couldn't see anything.
Any ideas?
same problem too
Hello everyone,
Having a problem since flashing from stock WM 6.1 rom over to a 6.5 Rom like Mighty Rom.
Can't seem to restore my old sms text messages properly. Tried PIM Backup, SPB backup and Microsoft Myphone with no luck.
I mean they do actually restore the messages except they are scrambled and not in order by the correct date and time. This means when I go to view a threaded convo or use the manila "reply" option the previous text conversation is there but not in the order in which it was originally. This is unfortunately not much help.
I'm not sure if this is a known issue with flashing from 6.1 to 6.5 or not but if anyone knows a way to successfully do this it would be very appreciated.
Well apparently found a fix but didnt really fix it. Someone suggested restore the sms, turn off threaded sms, soft reset, turn it back on and soft reset again. That did resolve placing them in order when I click on "all messages" and in the text message inbox and threaded convo they are all in order.
My problem now lies in the manila sms threading. As in when you scroll to the sms tab, flick through messages and click on the screen and it takes you to a threaded convo showing you a small pic of that person and gives you the little text box on the bottom of the screen to enter a reply and you press "send" on the screen.
Anyway on that screen all previous messages are still scrambled. If anyone knows a fix please share!! Thanks!!
Same problem here. Hoping someone has a solution; it's not critical in any way, but annoying.
I restored with PIM backup after turning off Threaded messages. Then I turned on threaded messaes and the phone takes about 2 hours to sort 3000 SMS. I can see now threaded messages but also have the problem in Manila SMS's threading. New messages come in the right order but restored wont.
I think we need some kind of back up utility that restores messages one by one, from older to newer, both sent and received mixed up. Restore utility at PIM backup will restore Received messages then sent messages and thats why Manilla scrambles. Any idea?
Ok, so I succumbed to hard resetting my device. Having restored my PIM data and texts from backup, I've noticed that in the HTC Manilla Messaging App is displaying my threaded SMS' incorrectly.
All of the restored SMS' are in the correct order but any new texts sent since the restore are being appended to the TOP of the thread, not the bottom.
All of this means that I have to scroll to the very top of the thread each time to see the latest set of texts. Madness.
Is anyone aware of how to fix this?
My TP2 is running stock WM 6.5 and Manilla 2.1
Many thanks.
I've searched for this, but can only find someone related topics for other phones/OSs.
I had to have my Touch Pro 2 (Sprint) replaced, so now I'm running WinMo6.5 with Sense UI 2.5.x. I backed up all my PIM data with PIMBackup (or whatever the program is called). Since I've gotten it, however, all of my text conversations are wonky.
In HTC's text manager, in any given conversation, all of my messages are at the top of the conversation, and all of the other person's messages are at the bottom This can make longer conversations, and past conversations very confusing.
Does anyone know of this error, or of a good fix for it? Thanks!
I've had the same issue before, after flashing a new ROM and enabling the HTC messaging before I restored my PIM file. Are you using a Stock or Custom ROM? If custom, there is a good chance you have Arcsoft messaging installed (if not, you can download it - just search XDA for a cab).
I would delete all messages, enable/install Arcsoft messaging, soft-reset, then restore your messages from your PIM backup file. That may not fix it, but it's worth a shot.

Stock ROM, and yes, I did load the PIM backup after loading HTC messaging for the first time. I deleted most of the old messages (that copied over the 2016/17 bug, somehow...), installed another SMS fix for the message order, and tested it with a few friends back and forth. Seems to be working now.
I also found and installed an Overclocking program, and now this bad boy is twice as fast!
