My DZ just lost all my stored SMS/MMS messages.
Got a new msg this morning but I couldn't view it in the standard SMS app, in fact there were no old messages displayed. I could see it in the widget view but it was the only msg there.
Deleted it and now I have no old messages.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
I'm running the stock ROM in my UK SIM free DZ.
Regards,
Richard
Weird, someone else had the same problem earlier today.

How do you do that? Cut and paste or is there an app to do it?

Thanks. That's a really useful app.

The same happened to me last night. The sms app crashed first and when i opened it again all was gone.
I'm now running the 'SMS Backup & Restore' app to autobackup since backing up to Gmail isn't able to restore your sms back to your phone.
Something similar happened to me. All of the contacts on my sim card disappeared. I had to send them to my z using bluetooth from my old phone...
But my messages remained intact

It just happened to me, one hour ago all were there, but now .. empty list ..
That's very strange..
Happened to me once last month. Luckily I use SMS Backup+ to backup my SMSes to gmail. Interestingly, the messages are also gone from htcsense.com, which is supposed to back it up to the HTC cloud.
Seems like it's a known problem but HTC doesn't know how to fix it yet.
Happened to me yesterday also...
I suspect it's htc sense synching with the website, loosing all the data!?

Hello,
It happend to me last week. All my SMS are gone, but I'm not synching my SMS with the HTC Sense website.
Is that a HTC Sense problem or a general android problem?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
one thing yall havnt noted is that how many text messages did yall have before it all got erased? On my g2, ive had around 6000 messages before it erases everything, then i just restore my backed up messages. But it is still messed up that it clears
Had the same problem, with over 1500 msgs sth went wrong and all the txts were gone ...
now got problems with flashing camera but will tell about it in different thread.
I had this happen to me once about a month ago.
I can't remember exactly how many messages I had, but it was no more than 200-300.
It occured while I was running CM6 RC3. Have not been able to reproduce the issue since...
Interessting, so when it happend with CM6 its probably not a HTC Sense issue.
I lost something about 1100 SMS with plain HTC Sense 1.72. I was receiving an SMS and I saw the message text in the notification bar. When I draged the notification bar down all SMS were gone.

If it happened with CM6 it's probably a different issue though, since CM uses a different SMS app anyway.

Just happened to me as well. DZ and I updated with the OTA the day it came out. very weird. I don't think I lost anything important, but this is very annoying.
Use SMSBackup+. Works insanely easy and it saved my texts when I moved to CM7. Interestingly enough, the next morning all my texts were gone, restored the backup again and haven't had a problem since. Good thing is it will back up each message right after you get it if you want it to.

Messages sent straight after recieving go in front of it on the list
Me: fine thank you 22.07
Friend: How are you? 22.07
This is just stupid! Please fix this HTC, this needs to be addressed

Does anyone have the problem where when you flip out the keyboard to reply to an sms (in the sms app) and after typing for a bit, the smses scroll up a bit and you can't see the text input box anymore? I suspect that it happens after all the smses are fully loaded in the app...

i find once in awhile that sms time fix app doesn't always fix the timetamp, but its better than nothing.
I have a problem when, deleting a message thread from within the thread. Menu, delete, confirm, etc. Then it automatically goes to the message list, but, pauses for 5-6 seconds before letting you do anything.

I believe it's related to pressing the function or shift keys. I think it scrolls up to show the icon at the status bar at the top.

I also have this issue. I'm somewhat relieved to know my phone isn't broken but am frustrated to hear that it's a longstanding software bug. Anyone know of any good trustworthy third party SMS apps? I don't particularly like the HTC one anyway.

Handcent SMS. You can use the HTC sense widgets with it too... even if they are slow.
have any of u had the issue w/ not being able to send photos that was the only issue ive really had besides the scrolling i didn't mind that too much but not being able to send photos through sms is a headache for me
I was just wondering how my sms messages suddenly appeared after I flashed a custom from from my old stock rom? Did HTC or Google backup my messages in their server somewhere?
Have you got HTCSense.com setup, so it syncs to that ?

Yeah I did set it up but HTCSense.com has no backup messages option. All it has are apps and wallpapers and stuff. Is yours like that too?

The HTCSense.com website does have sections for Messages and Contacts, and it's supposed to back them up there. As discussed in another thread though, this is acting all weird for a lot of us, and for myself I don't see any of my Messages/Contacts on there. Some people have had more luck though.

Same here. I don't have anything on it except the detector for the phone. It's all very odd.

HTCSense isn't working for me either, no messages/contacts and even though location is set to on it's showing as off on HTCSense.com.
Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Hey guys, have you encountered your sms got wiped out? I uninstall launcherpro and suddenly handcent got force closed and then the next moment I know is my sms got wiped out already.
Any ideas about this?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
Same happened to me on stock v2.2. This seems to be a common Android issue and likely related to the amount of SMS messages you had. Mine were 2500+ after importing from my old phone.
Google this for more info: android Issue 5669
That's weird! My sms is definitely less than 500 to start with it. Any other ideas? Common android issue? Don't have the issue previously with htc desire.

I know its not helpful now, but check out SMS Backup + on the market. It backs up your SMS, MMS & Call logs to your GMail. And best of all, its free.
Latest DHD OTA update seems to improve SMS stability. The messages app crashed but did not lose the messages with the update this time.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Hi Guys,
Today the messaging app on my HTC Desire HD would not start (force closing all the time). My provider (Orange) got me to take out the battery to reboot, which did get it working again - the downside was that all the messages were gone.
Now I had about 1400+ messages, which luckily I'd backed up to an xml file, Orange reckon it's the volume of messages that's causing the problem as they're stored on the SIM card - does anyone know of an app that will move them to the SDcard, the phone does not provide that option as far as I can see.
I really don't want to lose the messages and it was fine on my HTC Hero.
Regards,
Grabbit
Hi, search the market for SMS Backup & Restore. It does exactly what your after.

PLEASE HELP! My messages app is working soo slowly! when I open a conversation, it says 'Loading' and after about 5 mins, the conversation opens up. It's so slow! Why? Is it because I have all the messages stored in my phone memory? or is it something else? How to make it fast?
yeah same problem here. Weird. Thinking its all the past messages. Guess you have to delete the conversation every once and awhile. Oh well.

Hi, I have the same problems . Your phone is repaired. Replacing the motherboard. After 10 days the problem is back. Yesterday I made a factory reset, 2 minutes today I opened SMS. I reported this problem HTC and they know nothing about.
Sorry for bad English.
Go to app info of messages, from there select clear data. It will probably solve the problem....or do a factory reset..

After much frustration with the slowness of the message app, I tried this and it worked very well so far:
From within message app, select Menu...Settings...General... and uncheck the first three (all three) options under "Recipient list settings."
I guess that limits your search options from within the app. For me I probably don't use that function anyway, and even if I did I would trade it for a quicker app. To me, text messaging is worthless if it is not quick, otherwise I would just call or email.
