Up until last night I had over a thousand text messages stored on my phone, put phone on charge last night, pick it up this morning...and there were none, inbox, outbox all dissappeared.
Its not a sync prob as it was being charged from the mains, anyone help at all?
Thanks
I had a problem like this once...I just did a soft reset and it all came back. However I recommend you to use Jeyo SMS Backup regularly just in case.
im not too sure why you keep so many texts in there, i always like to delete mine,
so the mrs can't spy on what other girlies I have been texting!

hi all,
its odd but i have just been told that my xda2i is sending 2 txt messages each time i send anyone a message, its only recent, about 2 weeks ago, today was the first time i found out.
any ideas? tried everything i think, but never messed with the phone side of my pda
it's a common issue for people who run programs which kill apps rather then minmize then when one click X
the issue happens when people terminate outlook before the msg is sendt notification comes
outlook gets mad if one really close it when it's sending
pocket plus is a typical app that terminate apps
typical i am running pocket plus, shame its started only just doing it, i will try uninstalling and see if that helps, thanks for the info
Does anyone get like a glitch kinda thing with their sms when they are receiving them. ...Sometimes I will receive sms messages with no problems what so ever and i will receive them right away. Other times, It will be hours after they were sent and I will receive them. Or I will not receive them until the next time I go and open my sms inbox when im planning to send another, all of a sudden I just receive a new msg, hours late.
Any ideas?
its usually just your gsm service, my carrier is on-time but the time-stamps on the message is sometimes wrong.
maybe sometimes, but other times ...for example, I may be having a conversation at night, then fall asleep. The next morning, when im going to send a new sms message, i open the sms message window and a new text arrives with the time stamp from the night before, and i know that this new message was not just sent now because the person who sent it is still asleep
bump.......
yea its the network.
or u just got a really crappy sim card.
Yeah, I get that. It's probably a minor software glitch. I've had people call me complaining I didn't respond to a message and lo and behold, when I open messages to prove them hideously wrong, the 'message recieved' tone beeps several times and "[X] new text messages" pops up at the bottom of the screen.
Still not figured out how to set the phone up to do this (i.e. whether you minimise or hide the messaging app, whether you open a new app first then go back to today screen, etc..)
Still, only rarely happens. And at other times when recieving texts I could swear the phone doesn't beep... just conspirationally increments the new message counter and keeps silent. I pick up the phone after it's been sat next to me and it says I have several new messages.
Same thing happens to me, i've researched it for days and cant find a fix. I'm dreading calling ATT because they are usually of no help, but I'm gonna put my pants on and call them in a few minutes.
About a week ago I hit delete and let it do its work over night since it was going to take forever.
First off, my Tilt only deleted the messages in the inbox, not the outbox. Then a few days later I reset my phone to check something, then ALL my text messages were back, and all of the texts that I've sent/gotten in between were gone.
Is there a certain way I'm suppose to delete this stuff?
I don't know how that happened, and I cannot think of any kind of special procedure to deleting SMS messages. What happens if you just delete like 10 at a time? Does that work?
Dave
Well the thing about that, I have over 20,000 text messages stored on my phone hah.. So doing 10 at a time would just take wayyy too long.
Whenever I hit my soft reset button, all my text messages from that day to a couple days before are gone. It's kinda weird and I don't quite understand it. But yeah, I'm just trying to figure out a way where I can delete them all to where they won't come back hah. Who ever thought it'd be so hard.
Has anyone else ever had this problem?
I can't view MMS messages now because it tells me to clear more space. I've deleted several large size mms messages off of my phone, on top of a grip of text messages to clear space, but it hasn't cleared anything. How can I fix this?
Hard-Reset
I had the same problem on my T-Mobile MDA...never did figure it out. But whenever I deleted them, they always came back. I haven't tried deleting all my texts on the Tilt yet.

I think unpredictable things start to happen when you have upwards of 20000 messages.
The other week my phone crashed and i had to hard reset it because it was carrying 47000 SMS messages, i think the problem i had was the SMS datbase corrupted when i as attempting to delete my biggest thread, with well over 6 months of messages in it.
So yeah, backup your messages if you want them and hard reset, and id try to not let messages get higer than 15000, just so the phone has space to breathe
I have the same problem with msgs that return mysteriously on my ATT tilt running the factory (att) default rom. The first time I tried it I had around 5000 msgs and I ended up having to hard reset. Right now I have around 15,000 msgs and still have the same problem (obviously haha). I'm probably gonna upgrade my rom anyway, but I just figured I'd let you know you're not the only one (and not crazy haha).

Guys, I have searched and searched for the answer to this question and I've gotten close, but haven't found an answer. There has to be a way, I just know it.
So, I know that this phone (HTC Touch Diamond) has the ability to save SMS messages, because there are still some there when I turn on the phone. Great! BUT, sometimes when I reboot the phone (either just turning it on and off or having to do a soft reset after a freeze) recent messages (both SMS and Email) are missing. The span of time often varies.
WHY? And how can I prevent this?
I've seen several solutions that mention saving them to my PC, but I'm so often away from it when this happens. And I can't predict when it's going to freeze.
Is there any way to increase the time interval for when it "permanently" saves/commits these messages to memory? I feel certain from what I read that it has to do with RAM and ROM but I'm just so tired from searching that I can't even see straight anymore...
PLEASE HELP! It frustrates me to no end...
Thanks!
Bump? Bueller? Bueller?
Nothin? Has no one else had this problem? Should I just get a new phone?
Hi, I don't know if we have the same problem, but I recently am also losing my text messages after soft resetting my diamond. I tried backing up to my PC and also Microsoft My phone, but I still want to find out what's wrong with my device... I thought it's supposed to be virtually unlimited memory for SMS
It's not a problem of memory, WM doesn't save the messages instantly when you receive, the only trick i can provide to you it's to open your inbox (SMS Tab > All messages), and wait a few seconds (5-10), and Soft-reset.
Only do it if you have received a SMS 5min ago max, of course.
i had the same problem, deleted all my messages (also concepts) and this solved the problem
been texting a lot lately and just recently ran into a problem running. i was running into issues with the signal dropping completly and then coming back. my friends experienced the same problem so i figured it was just the area we were in. i got a sms notification for 1 unread message the other day and this is where the sms problem started.
upon trying to open the unread message the phone would hang with the 'thinking' circle. the message would open but only after almost 8 minutes. the home screen will say no new messages but when i opening the messaging program it still shows as unread. the phone will hang and become unresponsive if i try to do anything to that unread message.
i cannot send out messages either. i can write them perfectly but the phone will hang once i try to send or save as draft.
lastly, i cannot recieve messages. not sure why. none of my settings have changed. i did a soft reset and deleted the inbox.xxxxx folder on my sd card with no success.
i'd like to see if anyone has a solution to this problem before i try to hard reset. i have a non-modded att tilt running, stock wm6.1 w/o bloatware. radio had never been changed from the wm6.1 upgrade.
cliffs:
cant recieve/send sms
phone is not responsive when sending new message
backed up PIM data and did a hard reset. sms/mms was still not working after the initial reset so I reset it again restored PIM. sms/mms is working again.
