[Q] Text messages dissapear on leaked 2.2? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I have never had this issue before until I installed the leaked 2.2 OTA. Today I went into the marketplace and google said it could not connect to my google account, which was odd because that had never happened before. It told me to enter a captcha and then I proceeded to go to the marketplace like nothing happened.
I didn't really think anything of it until about an hour later when I opened up my text messaging app. The only texts that were there were a few texts that a friend sent me earlier today. Hundreds of my other texts have just simply disappeared. Could this be related to my google account getting logged out somehow?
I am really not sure if this has to do with the leaked OTA or not, but this is just extremely weird that this would happen. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, any fix?

The leaked OTA should have required a full wipe of your phone. SMS messages are included in that, I'm afraid, which is also why you'd have to relog into the Market.

I don't think you understand what I was trying to ask. I fully understand that installing the OTA required a full wipe. After doing a wipe and installing the OTA, I restored the data from a nandroid backup I had made prior to flashing the OTA. I did this by using the advanced restore option. I got all my apps, text messages, call logs, ect back with the new OTA. Everything was working fine for about 2 days until out of nowhere I was logged out of my google account and then my text messages just disappeared. Luckily I had the majority of them saved in that very nandroid backup but I'm still puzzled why this happened in the first place.

Oops double post.

Ohhhhhhh. Now I understand what happened. That's extremely odd. I have no idea what could have caused it. Hasn't occurred to me yet.

[Q] Cannot send or receive texts/can't send e-mail

So I was using the rooted stock gingerbread rom and decided to flash CM7 to see what all the hype was about. I followed the steps outlined in the CM7 wiki, and the whole thing was a nightmare. constant FC messages and every time I tried to restore my apps via Mybackuproot I was unable to move anything to the SD card even after enabling app2sd in CM7.
I even went so far as to do a factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik and try reflashing. No dice. All I manged to do there was create a boot loop which forced me to do the whole process a second time.
I gave up and just decided to restore the nandroid backup I had made just a few days ago.
But now, I'm having issues with send and receiving items. I can receive e-mails but when I reply it's stuck in "sending"
Apparently I can send texts (sent one to a friend who said they got it) but I cannot receive them.
I updated prl and profile in the settings. Now i'm at a loss. How do I fix this??
You can rewipe everything and reflash the stock Rom that you were running before your "nightmare" journey,and see if that clears up your texting problem.
now the voices are in 3d
I went into the applications setting and cleared the data from the gmail app and from the hancent/stock text message settings.
I can now send e-mails, but I still can't receive text messages.
Before doing any of that I booted into recovery and did a factory wipe and cleared dalvik/cache again. I then reflashed my recovery.
Still not having luck with receiving messages. help!
bump?
I installed google voice and I'm now getting text messages through there, but my stock app/handcent still aren't getting anything incoming.
I cleared the cache and force closed both programs, I made sure sync was enabled. I'm a loss here

[Q] Restoring SMS Breaks ROMs ( Help Please )

I would REALLY appreciate some help with this please, because after 10 reflashes, I still can't find the problem. I've been trying to flash the Darkside Evolution ROM ( latest T-Mobile version ) on my phone. Everything seems to work fine, until I start restoring my text messages, at which point, all hell breaks lose. My stock messaging app just brings up a black screen and eventually FCs, Google Play keeps FCing as well, and occasionally, no keys typed in any of my keyboard apps show up in the fields selected. Reboots don't help.
Here's how I've been flashing ( running CWM 5.0.2.7 non-touch ): 1. flash darkside super wipe. 2. flash ROM. 3. flash darkside cache-wipe. 4. let system sit 10 minutes before toying with it. I've also tried flashing the cache-wipe after the 10 minute system sit, but I still have issues.
Here's what I've tried, with no success:
1. Searching the forums for any possible solution, but to no avail.
2. Mainly use GoSMS to backup & restore texts, but also tried SMS Backup & Restore and GoBackup instead, with same results, if not worse.
3. Re-ODINed to stock, rooted and flashed CWM again .
4. Checked MD5 checksum of all files I've said I've used; all are verified as correct.
5. Tried Settings->Applications, and deleting cache / data for troubled apps. Only fixes issue with Google Play.
5. Tried different ROMs ( Juggernaut v5.0 and Darkside Digital Warfare v2.7-( my somewhat stable DD until now) months ago, and Infamous 2.6-(worked after a couple of tries, but missing features I need) and Darkside Evolution v7 the past few days ).
TL;DR - Restoring SMS breaks any Rom I flash. Help please?
Could someone help, pretty please?
...I'm sorry if I sound pushy or agitated, but I spent about 20 hours just this past week, wiping, flashing, and restoring, over and over again with quite a few different ROMs to no avail, and unfortunately I'm not exaggerating. I'm tech savvy, but I know anyone can make stupid mistakes, and I would just REALLY appreciate it if someone could help me finally get to the bottom of this; it's been the bane of my rooting life. I can get on an IM app if that would make it easier.
I used to use Titanium Backup to restore sms & mms. But now I use Go Backup and hadn't had any issues. Every time I've used SMS Backup. I would get issues of the app freezing. I'm using TWRP for my recovery. I know some Dev's say not to use it but I haven't had one issue with it at all.
When you do restore your SMS & MMS are you rebooting your device right after?

Thanks for the reply. I've mostly used GoSMS Backup, but I've tried SMS Backup & Restore, Go Backup, and TiBu ( with "Migrate System Data" checked ) this week, but all of them cause random issues. I've been hesitant about using TWRP because a lot of people don't recommend it, but I don't mind giving that a shot if it won't brick my phone. Is there anything I should know about using it?
And sometimes I reboot right after an SMS/MMS restore, and sometimes I try to access the messages before rebooting. With TiBu, I always reboot first now. Either way, I still have issues.
I'm also on DarksideEvolution.3.v7, and have used SMS Backup and Restore without any issues. Also used SMS Backup+ without issues. I've restored anywhere from 400-800 +/- messages. How many text messages are you trying to restore? My only thought, was if your backup has thousands of messages, it may cause a memory issue that causes the hang ups.
I'm trying to restore about 12,000 text messages...
I was able to get DarksideEvolution3v7 completely working once, except that my GPS wasn't working, so I was going to wait until TDJ releases an update with a GPS fix until I try Darkside again. I haven't used SMS Backup+ because I don't want to use cloud services, and SMS Backup & Restore is one of the best working ones right now. I just tried GoBackup again, and after about 65%, it force closed with some kind of unknown exception error, and no texts showed even after a reboot.
That's your issue. Had it happen to me awhile back. Had to do some manipulation to get it to work. I forget the details exactly unfortunately. However, I do recall it was related to The max limiter in the messaging app and had to go with handcent, adjusted max sms settings higher prior to SMS refresh. Then had some issues with mMs which is the part I forget
Tb has the xml backup feature now, that might help since the backup file is smaller, so maybe memory isn't such an issue
I was afraid it might be something like that. I've had issues with previous phones restoring texts when I start hitting around 10k messages, but nothing this severe, and I figured that our SGSII's processing power should be able to handle it. I've been making sure that under the stock messaging settings, "Delete Old Messages" is always unchecked, but I'm not sure if that's what the max limiter is.
And do you know if there's anything special that I have to do to activate that TiBu feature? I saw it in my changelog when I updated, but I wasn't sure.

Phone Freezing up badly

I've been using my phone for quite some time now, Flashing ROMs and all sorts of stuff but one day while i was running on a Darkside ICS (4.0.3) Rom when all of a sudden all of my messages were randomly deleted without my notification and GoSMS was unable to act. I immediately took out my battery and rebooted.Upon doing so i noticed all of my messages were still gone so i just opened Titanium Back Up and then Restored my messages. Shortly after doing that GoSMS froze again(Even the original Messaging App) and all my messages were deleted again.I decided to go back to a older ROM (Paradox II 2.3.6) and went there and restored all my apps and messages..Guess what?Another problem.The Phone and Contacts stopped worked every time i attempted to use it. So after messing with other ROMS(Even Jamieson's JB ROM) i just said screw it and went back to Stock and rooted again. And i once again downloaded my Titanium Backup, Restored Apps, and then Restored Messages and after my messages finished restoring and i attempted to send a messages..GoSMS froze up and forced me to Pull the battery..And it's just been freezing up badly after this. At the moment i did a Darkside Super Cache wipe and is hoping for the best.If this dosen't work then can anyone give me some Help?These Messages and Picture messages are valuable to me and i really wish to keep them..Help?
And now i cannot even attempt to make calls or send a message.It just dosn't go through at all. .

I will definitely tell you it's in you app data...wipe all data to factory fresh and replace apps without data...and do not restore any system apps!i know it's a pain to redo settings but try that...

Oh and the best way to restore is to make a nandroid backup every few days so that way of something happen that would over write everything

From my experiences restoring TI backup apps/data from one version of android to another like ICS to JB, GB to ICS just ends up in total fail in so many ways. Bouncing back and forth like that it's just best to restore with NO data and re-configure the apps which shouldn't take long anyway.. At least a shorter amount of time than banging your head on the desk wondering why your apps keep crashing

[Q] Titanium and 4.3 rom

Hey guys, sorry to post here but long time reader, first time posting. I have searched and found a few topics but nothing that helps. I am on liquid 2.9 and have backed all apps/data. I recently flashed crDroid AOSP [Build3]. Titanium wont restore anything from apps to call log. Its a clean flash and have the most up to date titanium. Also, have the newest 4.3 gapps. Tried 3 clean flashes. Any suggestions?
Are you having the issue where it just hangs there when restoring? If so, go to menu>preferences>backup folder location>(select detect)>(select whole Device)>pick the one that is located in /storage/emulated/legacy/0/TitaniumBackup. Just make sure its the one in the legacy folder.
I do have that with the apps. Thanks. I will try that. With call log and messages it will say the restore has been completed successfully and it will take less than a second or two but nothing will show in the log or messages. Any suggestions on that issue. I know i can just start over but like to carry those over with me.

Do you have a backup of your last ROM? If so, use the app "Nandroid Manager" in the Play Store. You can restore texts and call logs from your backup. I've never used Titanium Backup to restore texts and call logs so I dont know about that issue.
Thanks. I will try that. I have always used that and it usually works great but 4.3 is a different animal. I am sure Titanium is working on it but wanted to see if I was missing something. Thanks for the help.

All SMS apps crashing

Hello! Yesterday I decided to update my OP3 to the latest version, and as usual, I rooted it and restored with titanium backup. Everything went as usual, but today I decided to send a SMS and the stock app kept crashing, so I tried to use messenger (from Facebook) it crashed when I enabled SMS.
Later, I searched about this and found that i needed to clean data and cache, but when I checked on the application section I had none, the cache and data were empty.
I've already tried to use 3rd party apps to send messages, but all crashed the same way as the stock.
How can I fix this? I don't want to factory reset again my phone, is a pain to restore the data.

Thats been an issue with the OTA updates. Seems not to work right (never advised anyone to do ota as a single millisecond of data loss causes issues)
You may have to end up Factory resetting. Also TIBU messes up google messaging service so you will end up with apps not giving notifications properly.

People have said that reinstalling the apps without wiping the data works. I just set everything up again. But then I like most developers use less then 10 apps on our devices other then the stock apps.

Ok. I'll try a factory reset and reinstaliing the apps without TiBu. I'll get back to you when I finish this.
It worked, thanks!
