I received a text message last night and I needed to keep it. I certainly haven't deleted it yet this morning it is gone. Does anyone have any ideas why it was deleted? It is not in the deleted box either, so if I did delete it (which I didn't) then I would have to have deleted it from that box also.
Could a soft reset without closing messages mean you could lose data? (ie lose the text message)
Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Hi, I'm having a a slight problem with my XDA2. After an accidental hard reset when I was changing my simcard, I restored it using activesync but now there's a rather annoying problem with the sms menu where there's one sms that I cannot delete. The annoying part is when that sms counts as unread and now the today screen constantly shows I have one unread message when in truth there's none. I tried moving the messages to another folder but now I have another undeletable sms in my drafts folder(and when i try to open these messages, a blank message comes up even though the content summary shows perfectly well on the message list screen). I also have one more corrupted message in my inbox that shows [no sender] and [no subject] which remains at the top of the list and cant even be opened. I try to open it, the messafe opening screen transition comes out but then nothing happens. I'm sorry if I may seem ranting on but this is my first pda and I'd rather not lose all the SMS i keep in my archive folder. Any help is appreciated. Oh, after reading some posts here to find a solution, no, I'm not using Sprite Backup or anything.
I have exactly the same problem except I have more ghost messages, I am using sprite backup though if that has any relevance...?
any ideas?
yeah i had the second problem with the sms u can't open on my xda II, but i had hundreds that i couldn't view or delete.
seemed the only way to fix it was to hard reset.. but u might try and get that pocket mechanic i think it is, where you can edit the system databases.. just a thought.
You may use dbView to directly delete these messages from WinCE database (make backup first).
Most probably this message is located somewhere in fldrXXXX data table.
Hi im a new member of the forum.
I have had my XDAII for a year now and i needed to restore my data after a hard reset using xbackup.
I thought that restoring restores everything that was backed up, but no. My inbox has my sms messages shown but i cannot open them to read; i cannot even delete them. My messages show up with out an envelope on the left hand side of the list.
Can anyone either tell me how to get my messages back or get rid of my old messges, as i have tried to delete them, but no joy; i have also tried select all and delete but only to delete my sms messages recieve since restoring.
Thanks in advance
Nick
cant delete sms messages
HI there - I know you wrote about your sms deletion issue back in 2005 but did you ever get a reply? I have the same issue, with a selection of items in the Inbox, Outbox and Deleted folder, which just wont go, doesn't matter what I do. Just wondered if you managed to fix the issue?

Hi
Im still having the sms stuck in outbox problems some times, even if I have applied the sms patch from HTC. But it only happens some times and when it does I have to reset and send a new sms in order to kick the sendtask back into motion.
Anyone else still having this problem?
Seems to come up again and again. Delete all the SMSs in your inbox and then clear the 'deleted' items from memory. That should sort it. (Of course, you can retain a small number that you need to keep.)
Hi,
I have a corrupt received text message that I cannot delete in the conventional way (i have tried deleting the message, the thread, the contact etc) but it just stays there. it has no sent or received date associated with it so it just sits as my first text message and right winds me up. any suggestions?
Many Thanks
Murg
Is it from 129 or a similar short number?
No it's just a normal message from my gf that's just gotten corrupted somehow (possibly to do with myphone) where are text messages stored, can I force it to be deleted somehow?
They *might* be in
'\Windows\Messaging'
or
\cemail.vol
It might also be emails instead.
Hi,
my first problem with my x10 has encountered (after 3 months). I recently got a message, but it did not show in my inbox, only as a new alert. I cannot access this message, not even if I click on the new alert. It will only direct me to an empty message.
This is actually not a problem, but the thing is that I cannot delete this alert. It will come back even after I clear all messages, kill the messaging application, and even after a reboot.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Edit: When I clear the alert, it will not return after I enter another text message.
Edit2: Solved, removal of all messages (settings -> delete all threads) worked.
The exact same thing happened to my friend's X10...haha i wonder why this happens?
