SMS got wiped out. - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Google Talk issue

Hey guys,
For those that are using GTalk regularly, do you have this issue same as me:?
-When I didn't use for quite sometime as in didn't open the GTalk application for sometime, and when I open, it will show connecting and when connected, then I will receive msges from my contacts, which means the msges got delayed. My phone reception is good, no dropping of connection or whatsoever.
Any ideas to this?
Yep. I've had the same issue for a while, no resolve.

I see. Anyone having the same problem?
The only issue with Gtalk I had was when I installed Skype. Had to uninstall Skype to get Gtalk to work. Tried it two times just to make sure. It definitely was Skype fault.

Update. It wasn't Skype fault. Noticed today, as soon as low memory warning comes up Gtalk stops working. Not going to call HTC over that as my phone is going in for MB change anyway.

[Q] My DZ just lost all my old SMS/MMS Messages...

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?

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?
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.

Txt Message Problem

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.

[Q] All SMS threads deleted

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.

[BUG] issues with SMS resending itself after reboot

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.
