[Q] all my text messages are gone - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

as title states, all of my texts just disappeared. not after a reset or anything, just went to send one, and non are there?
where does the stock messaging keep texts at? any ideas on how to get them back?

My brothers phone was doing the same thing. He had an AMOLED Inc, after a week or two of that the phone just started going into a boot loop. Couldn't even go into recovery or anything. After trying many things to get the sucker going again I gave up and he said f*** it and went and got a Thunderbolt (technically he's still waiting for it!)

That's happened to me once. Not sure why or where they're stored. It was odd lol.

Same. Mine did it about a week or two ago. I thought it might be GO Messenger... maybe it wasn't?
Thankfully I didn't have important texts I needed.

I think messages are stored in data/data/com.android.providers.telephony. You'll need a root explorer or adb to look.

Text mesaage Error... Please help!

Lately, I've been having a strange problem with text messaging. Sometimes, when I am texting back and forth, one of the text message would give me an error that it can't be sent. Then the error keeps getting popped up. But the recipient actually receives that mesaage like 7-8 times. This has happened to me write a few times now. Please help me! This probably isnt a ROM related issue. But,I am using Myns TwoPointTwo.
Happens quite a few times with me. It hasn't happened in awhile. Same thing happens to me also. It's difficult to know if it went through or not. Tell people you text about this and if they see the same text coming through to not think anything of it. It might go away after awhile.
I don't know if it's fixable or what. Try update your profile and prl and see if it helps. Try stock rooted also. It used to happen on my epic kinda often a few months ago. Now that the gf has it, I switch back and forth between the shift and evo. I don't remember seeing that lately.
Older versions of google voice was really bad at that too. Now it's acting better. Shift is running stock rooted and evo is running what came with autoroot package, which is sprint lovers I believe.
Maybe the december evo update and the new shift have those bugs worked out. I will have to ask the gf if it's happening to her. I haven't seen duplicate messages lately from her so maybe it has been fixed in my area.

strange things when switching between roms?

folks, maybe you all can help me here. I usually run Myn's Warm Rls 5 but also switch to Synergy and Calkulins but have had some issues. I tried sending pictures via text message while on Synergy and they were not going thru so i switched to Myns and they seem to be going thru but now when i look at my Gallery(all my pictures, i have around 1000) one time it only picks up and shows 140 pictures, i rebooted and now it shows 1053, any ideas whats going on here?
Thanks

[Q] Synergy Issue

Hey guys, I put Synergy (non-Godmode) on my girlfriends phone. It ran great at first, but for the past week or so she hasn't been able to send or receive picture messages, and sometimes she isn't getting texts. And she says her internet has been super slow since she started having texting issues. Now, I'm not entirely sure this is an issue with the ROM, combined with the fact that I can't post in the Dev area yet, I figured this was appropriate. Any help is appreciated!

I also had several issues with synergy. I tried both versions. It seems it is cache locking on my hardware version 0004 and caused all sort of lag drag drop issues. I would suggest Mikg on her phone B/c it seems to be specific it certain hardware within the 0004 hardware set. I was able to temp cure this issue you describe with prl update and v6 script but it came back days later. Try Mikg
hacked ass EVO. Mikg 2.58/aggresive freedom .9 universal
I would start by going into recovery and wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache and seeing if that does not help.
Are you using Titanium Backup to freeze anything?
No, I don't have Titanium Backup on her phone for anything other than restoring apps. I might just try a new ROM. I'll report back, thanks guys!
Well depending on what apps you are restoring, sometimes Titanium resotres them to the phone memory, then you have to push them to the SD card. Without doing the push, then you will lose all the phone memory space and that has a huge effect on lag.
ALSO, does she use Handcent or the stock messaging app? If so, the widgets do not work unless the program is on the phone memory. Well, that also means that all the texts and mms messages will also be on the phone memory. After a couple hundred texts and dozens of pics, you run out of memory quick. An app like GoSMS Pro allows you to move EVERYTHING to the SD card, and then get the GoSMS widget to install on the phone memory and all is good space wise.
That is all I can think of as I had that problem at first, once I figured out the extra 2 steps to titanium and the SMS problem, I have been hassle free for months.

[Q] Not receiving some texts (sms)?

Desire HD with Lord C's 5.5 ICS Rom.
I've had a few problems with the rom so am doing a full wipe and upgrading to 6.1, with as few titanium backup restores as possible this time.
I've had a few texts not appear on my phone? They show up as sent on other people's phones but I don't get them? Happened twice in two days, with two different people (one from an iphone 3gs and another from an android, not sure what phone). I have hundreds of texts with these people and didn't ever experience this on gingerbread roms (I used ARHD and CM7 for about 6 months each).
Any idea what might cause it? I'm using stock sms app, and I'm about to do a full wipe and upgrade from 5.5 to 6.1.
I opened go SMS and didn't see them; they aren't on my phone and I don't receive notifications of them.
Thanks
I see you're on Orange. I would say that is your problem.
Nowadays it only happens every now and again. You should get the messages in a few days.
Sent from The App that Time Forgot.
I'm not convinced; there was one that was sent on the 9th march that I haven't ever received, and I've only had the issues since ICS.

dropped texts are a very common problem across any network and phone. Lord knows how many fights ive had because of a text that said "do you miss me?" that i never got lmao. Anyways, what specific data are you restoring from backup with tibu? I'm sure the answer is no, but were these texts sent to you during your upgrade process of flashing the phone?
In the UK texts are actually really reliable; obviously you don't always know when they haven't delivered (orange charge like 3p per delivery report, no thank you to an extra £30.00 a month!) but I've never had anyone mention "oh, didn't you get my text" or feel that someone had ignored me pre-ics upgrade. I assumed that their phone was the problem, but after it happened several times I've decided it was me
No they weren't send/received during flash; I tend to flash a rom and then (as long as it's stable) stick with it. The last time I flashed a rom was a couple of weeks ago, and only as an upgrade.
TiBu is just restoring small things like wifi netwrosk and fruit ninja scores haha
Having full-wiped and restored SMS, call-log, re-setup accounts and got the majority of my apps all sorted, the phone seems quite stable. Had 2 reboots during the first hour or so but I think that's probably down to everything running for the first time, it seems rather stable now.
I've got alogcat running & saving logs to sd card so we can see what's causing any reboots if they occur too!

Where the hell did my messages go?

Ok so I had just received a text. Went to open from the notification bar and when I did it just took me to the message home screen saying "no conversations". I tried using Handcent to see if it was a glitch in default app but nothing there. Tried restarting and powering off phone. Nothing!
But what's weird is that there is no way in hell it could have actually deleted all those messages that fast (I had a 1500 message thread with one person alone). It's almost as if it just lost access to them.
Yes my phone is rooted and I believe I'm running one of the AOKP roms (been a while since I switched that's why I'm not completely positive)
Never had anything like this happen before, I know the messages have to be there somewhere, it's impossible for a phone this slow to just instantly delete over 2000-3000 messages.
Thanks for any help!

Dont quote me on it but i think text messages are stored in a database in the /data/data/com.android.messaging. I removed messaging from mine and use handcent so i cant really look. Just look for something in /data/data with messaging in the name.
I've had that happen on my original Droid a few times. I think it's caused by a low space thing, (which is extremely common on this device) and I've never found a way to get the texts back if they weren't backed up somewhere else. I agree with you that it's odd how quickly it can delete that many texts, though.

Thanks for the responses guys.
Cmlusco, Yea I checked /data/data and there was nothing there.
godsmacked, But shouldn't I have gotten a low space warning beforehand? My phone seemed fine at the time of doing this. But whatever, I had nothing important there that I needed.
But I still hate having lost all of them, maybe I'm just sentimental and liked having some of those convos. Especially since one was with a special girl (gay I know but whatever)
That happened to my friend who has an Inc as well. I don't see any way to get them back. SMS backup works I think or you can download go SMS to backup as well.

I can verify this happened to me several times using the stock OS. Never happened after I rooted/CM7'd it.
