Lately, after every soft reset, active sync will run at start up and I end up losing all email and texts back to September 8th. I will then run send/receive later and emails will come back, but SMS seem to be gone for good. I don't know what significance 9/8 has to my phone. I have disabled activesync and use ctscheduler to download emails throughout the day, but if my phone freezes, and I soft reset, I end up losing messages at start up. Any ideas? Is there a way to disable that start up sync?

When I first got my Tilt, messages would receive fine, now, occasionally a message won't be received until I go to my inbox. If I remember correctly, every time this happened I was using the HTC Home plug in, but I'm not sure if that's the cause of the problem. Help?
That was my experience, that having the HTC Home or the Task manager running on the Today screen would cause it to not pick up my emails while the phone was in standby. I would suggest disabling both of those and see if you start receiving emails again.
After 9 months of pain-free PDAing, today my Vario iii hangs every time I try to access the Tasks (yes, the Outlook tasks)
It will go into Tasks OK, but you can't enter text for a new task, and it's very slow when viewing existing tasks.
When I try to shut the program down from within itself it hangs and needs a soft reset.
Trying to force it shut from Running Programs has no effect - it says Tasks will not close and offers to end program, but it stays open.
After a soft reset, Tasks is still running even though I haven't launched it.
The PDA is generally a bit slow at the moment, even when no programs are running.
Haven't changed anything - the last few significant things I have done are a backup to my PC this morning, then uninstalling F-Secure antivirus (I did that after getting fed up of subscription reminder messages. It expired 3 months ago)
I guess a hard reset would do the trick but I want to avoid that if possible.
Any thoughts please? Thank you.
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?

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?

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).

I'm using the HTC Diamond.
Today I received an sms and I couldn't get into the message to read it, so I decided to turn off my phone, and turn it back on again – I did the soft reset (pressing the power button on the top of the phone and not the instant soft reset button). I have done this before and it worked after that.
However, after I turned on the phone again today, the smses I received and sent since 23/07/2009 have disappeared.
I also checked the most recent call history and it's there – so it's not as if the phone decided to backdate itself.
Has this happened to anyone else? I would like to retrieve those missing smses (at least the ones I received) if I could. Is there a particular directory that the phone stores these smses?
Help would be much appreciated!
If you receive an SMS and soft reset the phone, the new SMS gets lost. You have to wait a few minutes (or hours?) to get it actually saved to the device. I believe it is due to some caching mechanism that the new mesages are not written to storage immediately. This is a poor design decision but we have to live with it.
As for losing older sms' I don't know what could be the problem. Maybe you restarted the device just in the instant it was flushing the cache to the storage and the data got corrupted?
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.

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.
