ppcpimbackup not restoring txt msg correctly

elosogrande7076 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-10-2009, 04:16 PM

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone who is using PPCPimbackup to backup and restore their text messages are seeing any issues? I am currently on Sprint stock Rom but have been also flashing some custom roms. I went to restore my text msgs and some of them are unthreaded while the rest restore properly....has anyone seen this or know why? Thanks

use non threaded to restore. then once there restored change it back to threaded.

they will then be threaded

I've seen this problem a lot. And even if they are threaded, they are in some wierd funky order. I think because the threading is based somewhat on the order it is in the PIM.VOL file instead of the actual date and time. So when you restore, they are restored in some other order, probably by contact instead of in the order they were sent and received.

Microsoft my phone is a great replacement. I already fought this battle with ppcpimbackup and found no answers.

+1 for MS Myphone

i was using PPCPimbackup since my 6700 and simply takes FOREVER (up to 30 mins!) to backup/restore if you happen to have a lot of messages.

Yea I have had that before and thats cool just now its not threaded...

Any idea how to fix this guys or a better way to backup txts? The strange thing is that its only a few days that are not threaded and the rest are....i can see if all were but only a day or so arent....strange

in the stock rom its not there.

i used advanced config to switch to classic, then switch back to threaded once i restored my txts.
