Apparently I "subscribed" to this service before I rooted when I got my phone replaced the other week.
Trouble is I don't have this app any more as I am using Cyanogenmod, I tried to install it from a backup to no avail, also I am unable to go back to stock either as their is no orange RUU.
Before I call orange and tell them to void my warranty (because I am rooted) and cancel the subscription anyone have any clever ideas??

Try downloading it? http://traffictv.orange.co.uk/
I accidentally subscribed and even with the app, it wasn't the easiest thing to unsubscibe.
Failing that ask OrangeHelpers on twitter to cancel it. Problem is they won't be back until monday. Otherwise play dumb, call customer services don't mention rooting etc...It will be easier for them to cancel it on their system than to talk you through it.

Thanks for the link, i couldn't download the app from their though, got to the last stage and it would just fail.
But I did find an email and phone number for TrafficTV on that site.
Going to give them a call now and get them to cancel it from their end.
Thanks.

Not sure if you guys have figured this out yet, realizing that this thread is 2 years old, but text STOP to 84300 should do the trick!

[Q] Help! All text messages gone!

So I went to bed last night, had my phone plugged in to my laptop charging and I got a text around midnight. it woke me up, I read it, put my phone back down and went to sleep. I just woke up and looked at my phone and the ONLY text message I have at all is now that text. All text before (thousands) are gone, deleted... I checked my crunchSMS and "messages" and there's just the one message in both. I'm using MYN's newest and everything else seems to be accounted for. Please let me know if there is any way to restore my texts (other than my backup, I got some important texts yesterday) Please let me know if you guys can think of anything.

You had just woken up and probably deleted them by accident. I'm sorry but I can't think of any way to recover them.
PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.

My late night texts usually get me out of bed. But as handacap said once thryre gone, thats it.

I don't think that's what happened... could someone that easily delete every text they had?

Easily can happen when you are messing around with the phone right after waking up and not being completely awake.

I doubt you deleted them all by accident. I've had this happen to me twice now as well. Had you noticed the SMS program being sluggish lately? Both times it has happened to me I've had thousands upon thousands of SMS in the database and the app had slowed to a crawl. I think the app freaks out and corrupts the database or something which results in it just trashing the whole thing and recreating it from zero. Android already has an issue with the messaging app pulling up the wrong conversation/contact once in a while, for it to hose the whole database isn't much of a stretch from there lol.
The stock HTC messaging app doesn't even have a delete all option. You would have to go Menu -> Delete -> and then manually select each individual conversation in order to delete everything.

There's an SMS backup that syncs to GMail. The app is free in the market. I would use that next time.

This also happened to me like two days ago.
really quite lame...lost a lot of photos

The same thing has happened to me twice now. Thousands of messages gone. It happened today for no reason. I put my phone on silent while in an interview and when I got out I had one new text and all of the rest were gone. Total Bullsh!t!

I love deleting all of my texts, do it a few more times and you will feel free.

i use SMS Backup and Restore. I have it configured to do automatic backups of my messages once a week, so at the worst i will lose one week work of messages in the event something goes wrong.

SMS Backup+ I have it set to back em up every hour.

Restoring thousands of messages

I have been using SMS Backup and Restore to restore my text messages. Recently, I lost my messages and didn't backup. Well, my gf's phone has the messages and I want to get them off. What I did was backup using the app, which makes an XML. Then I opened it and changed all of my number to hers, and changed all incoming messages to outgoing, and vice versa. When I try to restore all these messages, 16k, it freezes my messaging app afterwards. Is there any other app that would do this better/allow me to switch the numbers / incoming/outgoing aspects to make it look like i sent my messages and recieved hers? Or is there a way I could get the messaging app (handcent too) to stop FCing?

Well, you should have done a backup. Do not change the document. Also, by doing so.. it'll just confuse the program and lock it up. :-D It sounds to me like you're really spying on her.

LoL... I thought that's what it sounded like to me.

No its the conversation between me and her, it is our text messages lol. And I dont think it is confusing it, I just think since I am restoring 16k messages it locks up.

16 thousand! that's why it wont restore right there. My evo gets bogged down after 300 messages. You should never have that many texts, you are just asking for trouble.

Well her phone is a Huwaei Cricket Ascend and its fine with them haha. I think it is just because I am restoring them, and they arent just on there.

Again, a few hundred is a lot, a few thousand is ridiculous. It takes over 10 minutes to delete about 400 texts from my evo. Restoring 16 thousand will likely take hours upon hours to complete.

Takes like 30 mins to restore. Even using handcent to delete though, takes hours

I mean, do you really need 16 THOUSAND messages in your phone? You have the xml file, just open it up in Word and print it out.

Lmao good idea Sitlet..I never thought of that, however I just took screenshots of my favorite part of the texts and just keep them to myself. If I wanna feel good, I reread them
World peace with no regard for human life.

Yes he does, and everybody he knows should do this as well, in fact he should have even more. I am saying this because 3/4 of all the phones I see come in for service are for freezing/locking up. The reason, 90% of the time, is too many texts/emails/voicemails. People like this keep service centers open.

The higher end phones tend to handle it better but imagine a Moment or Hero with that many messages and 100+ voicemails. See it atleast 3-4 times a day.

Yea lol. Evo handled it okay. I get some lag with message apps. Like 3 - 4 seconds tops and only when opening. Wonder if I OC will it fix it.. hrmm

No it wont. Deleting your 17 thousand messages will.

nope
i read somewhere a while back that handcent actually stores all your incoming and outgoing sms regardless of whether you delete them, in a database file. i tried searching for it but couldn't find anything on that.

That's a shame, I had the same thing happen to me a while ago. I was so distraught that start using SMS Backup to store all my text msgs. It's sorta cool is when I switch phones or anything, it would automatically download into my newest phone and you can search through your msgs on gmail.
I would try restarting the phone if you haven't already (stupid suggestion I know) and see maybe it was just a glitch. Hopefully someone on here will be able to help!

Help please...all data is gone

Hey guy,
i have made the mother of all screw ups.
Mates phone had all pics and vids and contact all gone after i did a flashboot to unlock the bootloader. I didnt realise it would delete everything.
Do any of you know of a program that would recover contacts and pics from a HTC One?
Problem with these phones is you cant mount the storage?

There are some apps in the Play Store that may help. I stupidly formatted my internal memory once and lost some pictures I didn't have backed up. Needless to say, both Dropbox and G+ back them up for me now.

contacts should be backed with google. as for messages, they might get recovered with the app but they dont get back up anywhere.

Assuming it's the Verizon One, I would suggest switching to Verizon Messages. It allows you to text from any WiFi tablet as if it's your phone and also syncs messages to the cloud.
