for Joe Pham??

This is my first posting.  I'm not sure this doesn't belong in the developer group.  Please inform me.

I am working with a verizon razr v3m with nearly 3,000 sms messages total in the inbox and outbox.

I have been trying to use bitpim to archive the text messages.  I'm not able to do very much.  The best I seem to be able to do is to go to the folders in /brew/mod/syncom2/msging/d,i,o and save the .att and .env files from there to my drive one at a time.

At this point, I haven't looked through much code and I haven't looked to see if there is code to interpret these files, but that's something I hope to do soon.  For starters, I was trying to figure out why I can't collect messages to the bitpim program or save groups or zip sets to the drive, as the bitpim program interface implies I should be able to do.

So, I was looking through code and particularly sms.py.  In "class SMSEntry(object):", I found the following of interest:

    _id_index=0
    _max_id_index=999

I immediately wondered if I didn't need something more like 9,999?  Or, at least 3,000.

A little further down in the code I found this:

        if SMSEntry._id_index<SMSEntry._max_id_index:
            SMSEntry._id_index+=1
        else:
            SMSEntry._id_index=0

Am I way off base here, or...  shouldn't this "else:" throw an error or warning and handle this overflow in another way?


As an aside, the phone is about 95% full.  Performance of this phone suffers as the messages add up.  It doesn't take many messages for this phone to show performance problems, but once it gets to about 80% plus, it becomes extremely tedious to use.  Other bugs crop up, but this is for another posting.

Thank you for your time,
Jim
