I made the back of my all database incl. SMS and email accounts, with the program Pocket Backup Plus.

Then I updated the system to the 4.00.11 (also testes 4.0016) from 4.00.05.

After that I restored SMS database (the porccess was made without errors or any special message, everything seems ok) but:

I can send the SMS but I cannot receive the SMS any more!!!!!
No way.

After the hard-reset (fresh 4.00.16 ROM) all started to work OK. I can send and I see received SMS sound alerts. Of course in this version of ROM the device is not wakeing-up if SMS received, only sound alert is.

I can verify that the above info is true.
Ever since I've upgraded my T-Mo xda to WM2003, the restored SMS database affect the receipt of new SMS.
I have flashed my ROM more than 16 times with all released and many cooked variants of the WM2003, from the original Ozone beta to the latest T-Mo .16 version. In all cases, if you use Pocket Backup Plus to restore, make sure to UNCHECK the restore of the email databases, if you still want to receive SMS's.
Apparently something that the Sprite Backup restores, screws up the SMS database and all new SMS get lost or stuck somewhere in your phone, although the network operator thinks that the message is sent to your phone sucessfully.

Yes my friends, i've mentioned this in a previous post. It doesnt matter which ROM versions you change to any backup useing Pocket Backup will corrupt the XDAs mail databases. $hit happens!!

On the other hand does anybody know of backup software which will backup SMS and mail databases?
