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!?

That's a good suggestion, I wonder if that's what it is ?
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?

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.
Last night I updated my wife's Epic to DK28. The problem is her contacts are gone and syncing doesn't bring them back. Why wouldn't they have saved to her gmail am I overlooking something. I have flashed my phones a lot and never had this issue.

check google/contacts online and see if her contacts are listed there. My wife had a similar problem and turns out when she added a contact she added them to her phone address book and not google.
http://www.google.com/contacts
They are not there is there a way to add them to Google after they are back in the phone?
Sent from my SPH-M900 using XDA App
can you get them back on the phone? Are there a lot of them?
I had a similar problem on the syndicate rom a while ago. It would say it was syncing for a second then stop. I also noticed when i went to facebook.com and tried to install the app from there it thought my phone was something other than the epic. I resolved the issue by using a different ROM. I don't know if these things are related, but that might be a start...
Yeah luckily we found her old phone and transferred thru bluetooth but I am tryin to figure out how to get them to google in case this happens again. As far as the rom she was totally stock di18 not even rooted for 5 weeks and I updated her to unrooted dk28.

You should be able to export them from contacts via the import/export menu option. This will create a file named something like 00001.vcf(vCard file) in sdcard/external_sd/. Then go to the google contacts and import it. Hope that helps!
Ok I will try that. Thanks alot guys.

Just make sure when she adds any new contacts that she adds them to google.
Stupid question but she does have syncing turned on in her contacts right? After they're restored try to force sync, then check her google account from a desktop/laptop to see if it worked.
I've not had much luck with the import export v card feature. I recently had to delete all contacts on my phone, then go to my google account via desktop, export all contacts to google.csv, delete all contacts online, then reinstall online from the google.csv file in order to fix a syncing problem.

I think google may be having an issue at the moment. My phone is saying that Sync is currently offline and will be back shortly.
Yeah her sync is on I just don't get what happened. I have reflashed my epic about 10 times without issue. And my moment ugh probably 75-100. Never lost contacts it has been automatic since I got my first android.

After my last rom flash I had a situation where any time I added a contact on the phone it got deleted after syncing. No idea why but a google search lead me to others that had the same issue.
I think this OS still has a lot to be ironed out. I wish they'd stop adding features and just make a decent contacts app. I can't for the life of me figure out why I have to select which of the same four phone numbers I want to dial when I try to call a contact that is synced to multiple accounts, for example.

sometimes when i have synching issues, i fix it by going into 'manage applications' and clearing the data for that app. i've had to do that with gmail.... it erases and re-synchs the app, and afterwards it works like normal. of course, only do it if she does indeed have her contacts backed up on Google... otherwise they will be gone. not sure if this will fix hers, but just saying it did fix my synching issues a few times.
Edit: new question.
changed the question. I have a new problem. When I'm trying to add certain contacts to the people widget, some are not showing up. They are there though (in contacts and in gmail account.) Is it time for me to re do my gmail account contacts manually? I've had issues such as posted below more than once. It's getting frustrating when my contacts get all screwed up.
Original question: Google sync down?:
On my Google account sync, "Contacts" portion, I'm getting an exclamation and it says sync is down and will be back up shortly? Am I the only one with this? Just wondering because my girlfriends Hero doesn't have the issue. It was just an all of a sudden it poped up thing. Hopefully there's an easy fix or its down. Any body know anything?

i figured it would be just an issue that i am having. does anybody know of a fix for this issue?
I have a new problem but didn't feel the need to make a new thread. I changed post one if people would please read it.
Thanks!

Email has always worked perfect up until the last few days. It will randomly stop syncing and I have to power it off and back on for it to fix the problem. Everything looks normal. It will not send or receive though.
Everything else seems to work except the email. It's already caused me quite a few problems with not getting messages in a timely manner.
Any thoughts.
I have experienced the same problem also... i kept wondering for few days why i am not getting any emails and than one day my battery died so when i rebooted i the phone my inbox got tons of emails from few days back... i wish to know the answer too
What email are you trying to sync? Hotmail?

hotmail and yahoo... both got backed up for few days... any ideas?
I'm experiencing the same for Gmail. Anybody know of a fix?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I'm having the same, or a similar, issue with Exchange mail. Randomly it won't bother to sync it on push until I open up the mail app. All my Gmail works fine, just this.
I may have found the problem. I took off my live wallpaper yesterday and put a standard one back on and my email hasnt quit working since.
I had the 3D Hyperspace Live Wallpaper, which I really like and hate to lose. I'm still monitoring it but I lost email pretty frequently until I went back to the standard wallpaper so there's a good chance thats the problem.
I'll update with results.
Some more info on my problem and my phone:
I have four yahoo email accounts and one gmail account. My yahoo accounts would stop syncing and nothing you could do would refresh them. Nothing would make them sync other than turning the phone off and back on.
My phone is rooted with sfhubs root which has worked flawlessly so far. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.
Well I noticed my Hotmail stopped syncing around the time they made the official Hotmail app. I thought it maybe something on Hotmail side of things not allowing it to work but I guess not. I am not rooted and am all stock but the official Hotmail app works great so I just said forget the other one. Let me know if anyone finds a fix.

My gut feeling is that it stopped syncing because i was " clearing memory" from that inbuilt Samsung task manger... since i stopped using "clear memory" the email seems to sync properly ... maybe i am wrong ... i don't know...
Update:
It's been three days since I took the live wallpaper off. I had no problems for three days...
Until this morning. Email hadnt synced since last night. I had to reboot the phone and the emails came rolling in.
I'm going to put the live wallpaper back on and see how it reacts.
I'm in a bit of a panic. I just switched over to the S2 tonight and I had signed out of all my accounts on my old device, and signed in on the S2. To my dismay, I have deleted all of my calendar events! (While viewing from the computer too). How on earth did I do this, and can I save my events? I have a terrible memory, and I have no possible way of re-filling those spots.
If you did that on computer, i think its gone now. Maybe contact google??
I did it from the phone side, but it has deleted everything, from both the computer and phone. I will contact Google as a last resort.
Yeah... I doubt you are getting those back, if you do, please let us know what you did..
Contacts on the web has a recovery thing that you can go back to what u had say, a week ago. Maybe calendar has it too.
