Jon, Don’t hold your breath. Frankly, if *anyone* from the development list had talked to me about anything 5 years ago I might have installed the platform and fixed it. I should have. In the end I spent more time asking for help than it would have taken to fix it. I found my notes from back then (8/24/2008). I just checked and I see that the code has not changed. Here’s what I found back then... basically, once you hit 1,000 messages, an index gets set back to 0 and you get nothing, because this happens before you get any output. The index becomes a corrupt value. I would have changed the 999 to 2000 and also at least put some kind of warning when the limit is reached. And I don’t remember if I had overwrite set. I don’t recall that in the logs, but I don’t see how that would stop this problem. At first glance, 500 should not have caused a problem, but perhaps you aren’t counting the way the program does, because I don’t remember exactly what would count as an SMSEntry. Every message anywhere is my guess. I have no idea if anyone has the development platform running anymore. I see little traffic for bitpim anymore. Maybe you will have better luck than me finding someone who has it installed and who will take the 5 minutes it takes to follow my code and make a “Bitpim2000index” build version and send it for test. See below: ================================================================================ https://bitpim.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitpim/trunk/bitpim/src/sms.py class SMSEntry(object): ... _id_index=0 _max_id_index=999 ... def _create_id(self): "Create a BitPim serial for this entry" self._data.setdefault("serials", []).append(\ {"sourcetype": "bitpim", "id": '%.3f%03d'%(time.time(), SMSEntry._id_index) }) if SMSEntry._id_index<SMSEntry._max_id_index: SMSEntry._id_index+=1 else: SMSEntry._id_index=0 ... ================================================================================ ================================================================================ From: Jon Zadra Sent: Friday, August 23, 2013 6:33 PM To: bit...@li... Subject: Re: [BitPim-user] V3m does not transfer SMS Thanks Jim. Yes, I think I have a little over 500 messages, so if there is an upper limit that may be my problem too. I had assumed the 'Overwrite' in the log referred ot my choice to replace, rather than add to, the existing SMS messages if any were stored in BitPim. I will take a look next time I get a chance and see if the other selection changes that log message. Unless you ended up with a solution, don't worry about going through your notes. I'll wait and see if I get a response from anyone else. If it's anything useful, I'll pass it along.

I tried to use Bitpim to pull the SMS messages and had some of the same problems you describe now. At the time, I looked at the code and posted to the user group and developer group and no one was responsive at all. I believe this was in the summer of 2008, but maybe 2009. Let me ask this... do you have a lot of messages? I did. Notice the line in your log: 14:34:01.805 {'sms': 'OVERWRITE'} When I looked at the code back then, I found a loop which was used to read the messages was not set high enough for the number of messages I had stored. The loop had no warning when it was reaching the limit. >From what I could tell, the program would simply crash when it reached the end of the loop, before it processed the messages. I could never determine why there was no comment about the upper limit of the loop. Possibly, there was a memory issue if it was set higher, or, a develop just figured it was good enough... maybe higher than what the phones would store at the time the code was written. Most phones don’t keep more than 1,000 messages, but as I recall, the Razr could keep a lot more than that. I don’t recall even getting the message you got, so maybe someone tinkered with it since then. If you search my postings, other than frustration, you will see where I posted the suspicious line of code and the module it came from. As I remember, I put out a request that anyone running the platform change one number in the code and see if it would compile, and I offered to test it, since at the time, I didn’t feel like setting up the entire development platform. It seemed like a simple request. I debugged it, let someone else compile. No one ever responded. I would still be willing to test a custom version of Bitpim to see if it fixes the problem, as long as I know it comes from a developer. I won’t hold my breath. I’ll dig through notes if you wish to pursue this. take care, Jim From: Jon Zadra Sent: Friday, August 23, 2013 2:38 PM To: bit...@li... Subject: [BitPim-user] V3m does not transfer SMS Hello, I have a Motorola V3m (sprint). I am trying to pull all the SMS messages off of it. It does not auto-detect, but I manually set it to the V3m (sprint) phone on COM4. I am able to successfully get the phone book with these settings, and although it will briefly display the status of SMS in the status bar current task, no SMS messages are transferred. There is no error. I have tried using COM3 (unable to communicate error), and also tried other similar phone settings (V3mM, V3cm, etc).
