I have a friend who's DInc will randomly delete all of her SMS threads when she gets a new message. When she goes to the app after getting the notification all of her threads will be gone, including the one she just got the message in. This has happened to her 3 or 4 times now. I've recommended a couple of SMS backup apps to her, just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and if so, how did you fix it? And if you could recommend SMS backup apps which would they be and why?
Whenever my dinc starts to act up I reboot. Other than that I use the sms that comes with the Rom I'm on. Good luck. I

It's a known Android issue (#5669, to be precise) and it isn't partial to Incredibles or even HTC. I have never experienced it in more than a year but it happens on my daughter's Incredible about once a week.
Use an SMS backup app, and save important stuff externally to the MMS apo.

Yeah this issue has been up for a while, but hasn't been given much attention at all.
It's happened to me at least 4 times, but i started using SMS Backup+ which is perfect.

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?

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.

Is anyone having an issue with texts being deleted? It's been happening since yesterday and my phone just randomly deletes all my text messages. I also made sure that the option to automatically delete them was off.

Maybe something helpful in there.
USE SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!
When turning the phone off and then on, the camera flashes a light several times and it automatically sends previous text messages sent by me to other people again. Why is this hapenning? Can someone please post a solution?? Thanks!
this is actually a known issue
it seems to be a system bug
you can try flashing another ROM, or simply wiping the stock ROM and start from scratch
[Q] issues with SMS resending itself after reboot
I have been having a strange issue recently.
When I reboot my phone, the text messages that I have recently sent are being resent to my contacts, sometimes the messages are resent multiple times. It happens sporadically.
Anyone else have this issue?

I've never experienced this issue. Are you using a 3rd party SMS app? What rom is this issue happening on?

Are you using handcent? This specific issue is why I quit using handcent. If not, then I dunno, that's weird.

switch and use Go SMS
problem solved
hey! thanks for the reply. I tried flashing some different roms but the issue still persists. even though its not every time i restart my phone, it still happens randomly and its very annoying since people always reply back saying why are u sending me old text messages? So what do you suggest i do? I am currently on TricH's rom. how can i completely wipe the stock rom and start from scratch? please let me know! thanks.
which SMS app are you using?
the stock one that comes with TricH's rom
hmm... probably you might be better off using another ROM or a stock ROM just to see if there's any difference?
i have already tried other roms such as the beast rom but the issue still persist. even when i was on the stock rom, the issue was still there. Do you think there is a way to remove the stock sms app completely from the phone and then maybe i can download a 3rd party app?
i have been having the exact same issue. it started while i was on the stock telus rom, i then switched to the best rom and the issue was still occuring. I am now on the bombardier rom and the issue was gone for a couple of days and now when i restarted the phone, the issue occured again. so i dont know what is causing this problem. if someone knows a fix to this issue please help!
you can use TI to freeze it
Link2SD also has the Frezing option
This was happening to me. I narrowed my problem down to media scan looping, especially if you're getting it on a nandroid restore.
merged both topics, just noticed you 2 and a few other people you also have the exact bug
Had a thought... do you have any texts stored on your sim card?
nope nothing stored on my sim card.
ok so i think I may have found the solution to the issue:
i installed titanium backup pro then used it to backup and freeze the stock messaging app. I then rebooted the phone so the messaging icon disappeared from the phone. I then installed go sms pro from the market and using it as my default sms app. Tried rebooting phone after that and it has not been resending text messages so far.
*fingers crossed* hope this solves the issue for good! will update if issue persists.
Once in a while the SMS icon on my launcher dock will stop launching the SMS app and will start launching whatever app I was using before that. Anyone else experiencing this?
I'm attaching a youtube video of it (pardon the half assness of it)
+1 This has happened to me also. Not just the messaging app though. Happened with Google Music, Wordfeud, any app really. I have to back out of all the apps (close them all?) to get it to stop. It's only happened twice.
This has been happening to me for the past couple of days now. For me, closing all my background apps doesn't help. The only way to get things working again is to reboot the phone.
Yes has happened to me once. Rebooted to fix it.
Also have had an issue when composing a SMS message and then wanting to delete it before sending. I delete the text I typed and when I go back in the app the text is still there. Anyone having a problem with that?
happened here with various apps too.

Looks like most people that have had this happen have Verizon/LTE versions. Anyone had this happen with a GSM version? Just curious if it may only be a bug with Verizon's side.
I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and I've had this problem as well. Only thing that fixes it is a reboot.
Hi all,
Having looked around I don't see anyone with the same issue as mine with regards to SMS.
I just got a new Nexus 2 days ago, and got the 4.0.4 update by doing the clear cache thing. All good.
I installed SMSBackup+ and started to restore all my text messages. Now I have about 21,000. Honestly I have no idea how I have that many, its possible some are dupes or something, I really don't know. But basically I left it to restore them overnight and woke up this morning with all my messages restored. Lovely.
But now, I tried to send a text to someone and it just froze. I quit to the home screen, went to go back to the message app but it just sits with a black screen doing nothing.
I presume its got something to do with it trying to load all the messages for the first time or something like that but I'm a bit gutted that it can't handle it. My old Galaxy S could handle them all with ease.
Is this a known issue on the GNex or am I asking too much with the volume of SMSs??
I'm a bit gutted if I've bought this brand new state of the art phone and it can't handle what my two year old SGS could!
It might have been the case that a couple of messages were corrupt. Try clearing the sms data and restoring again but only blocks at a time. If that doesn't work the messaging app might have an issue since your now running ics.
This could be an issue that hasn't been explored as your not the average user. I for 1 limit my messages at 200 a contact.

Thanks RT, but its so slow/congested it won't let me delete them either! I tried by going into the message app and choosing delete threads.
It loads every time I reboot the phone but if I do anything on it at all, it just shows me a black screen.
On first load I can see all the messages, but if I go into one of them, even one that is only 2 threads long, it just freezes on me.
Any idea how I can delete the SMS data without going through the message app?
Or am I staring down the barrel at a factory reset? (this isn't the end of the world as I only got the phone yesterday and haven't really installed anything yet)
Right then,
So instead of trying to do something with the stock message app to delete the sms messages, I downloaded delete old messages app and ran that before loading up the stock message software.
I think the next time I restore them I will try and put the 200 cap on them like my SGS did (I thought this was a limitation of the phone not an actual setting that I could adjust! I presume I'll find it in the stock SMS settings somewhere?)
Thanks for the help RT.
I've had that issue since froyo. anytime I restore thousands of texts, the messaging app just hangs. On the rare occasion it'll come to life but for the most part unusable. only solution seems to be to restore a small portion of your texts or have a blank slate

Quit being so popular. Too many SMS.
I made a second label in my GMail I call SMS Backup and every few weeks I'll change my backed-up messages from SMS to the Backup label so when/if I wipe and restore, it doesn't pull in all my messages. If I need anything, I can easily search for it.

To delete your messages / settings go into the sms app under Settings-Apps and clear all your data.
Yes you find the sms limit setting in the general setting within the sms app.
