All of a sudden today my messaging app and handcent sms crashed. so i decided to turn off my phone and reboot it. now all my messages are gone. is there anyway to get them back? cause this really sucks. i had everything there.
I was told when the reserved memory amount for text messages reach a certain level it will purge all text messages. Sounds like you reached that limit.
Aw man. I didn't know this. That sucks, I had some mms pictures I hadn't saved yet. thanks man.
I know the iphone doesn't purge messages. Is there someway to increase the reserve? I don't wasn't my phone to erase all messages when the reserve is met.
Messaging>settings
uncheck delete old messages as limits are reached
yea, that's already unchecked. been unchecked and still all my messages were deleted.

Basically, I have all text messages from my girlfriend and friends since Oct. They are threaded and everything was fine until last week. My girlfriend's texts seem to have "disappeared" and the threading seems to have started from scratch. Only the recent msgs from last week appear in there.
I know the messages are still in the phone because if I turn off threading, I can see all past messages to/from my gf.
Does anyone know what's the deal with this?
Did I hit a limit or something with the number of messages in the threading?
is there a way to clear ALL txt messages .. bulk style. The only way
i can find is to manually delete one at a time, which is very times consuming when you have a couple hundred txts from a computer gone crazy
thanks for any and all help
otherwise.. the Focus ROCKS!
I dunno if you can delete every text message with one action, but you can delete text conversation threads by pressing and holding your finger over the conversation thread. When you do that, the option to delete the thread should appear.
I just tried to write a little app that would do that and, alas, like so many other things, the Windows Phone 7 API just doesn't provide a function for it.
So, while I can open a new SMS compose task I can't see all existing SMS messages, nor emails, etc., etc.
So, I'm afraid that if you really want to get rid of all of them you either need to do it conversation by conversation or do a hard reset.
bummer.. hard reseting to get rid of a couple hundred txts is a pain.. Im sure it will come in some update.. at least it handle all the txts fine.. unlike wm6.5
I used TiBa to move over my SMS logs from my Captivate but it seems that the text app wont load because ive run out of memory. When i look in settings>memory, it shows over 10 GB free. any ideas how to fix this?
looks like the max SMS history is 999 messages, any way to circumvent?
i'm having the same problem..i want to save all of my sms messages but it limited to 999. is there anyway to fix that? either apps or hack?
I use sms backup... Saves a copy of all sms messages to gmail... Easily grouped in conversation mode...no reason to keep them all on your phone anymore...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Legitimately curious question, but would you ever need/want to go beyond 999 SMS?
I'll bet other sms apps like handcent will work great
I have a problem with the incoming SMSs ,when I receive a sms the time on it is lagging behind my DELL STREAK set time,when I select either internet time or service provider time. Eg time set through internet is 7.00 PM but when I receive a reply for my msgs/sms it is 6.50 PM ,thus it is lagging behind,and the sequence of the msg thread becomes upside down.If I correct this lag by manually setting the time,my mobile clock becomes 9-10 mins behind actual time.how do i correct this?the sim works fine in other handsets.
Sounds like its the sms app itself, try looking through in app preferences for time stamp issues if that doesnt work try "go sms" free from the market, it has various fixes, troubleshooting options which may isolate the problem
Ya mine does the same thing on the Rogers network. It's pretty frustrating - I tried some different apps, the is an sms time fix on the market that worked, but then it broke my notifications, so the sms would come in showing the right time, but I wouldn't be notified of new messages, so that didn't work for me.
As mentioned above, the best remedy for me was to use another sms app, like go sms or I actually prefer Handcent SMS, all free from the market, Handcent SMS fixed the time issue and also has some other cool features that I like including an unread reminder etc.
I'm not sure why no one knows what causes this or how to fix it in the native app, but either way, the other sms apps are better anyway so you win in the end

What settings do you use on Handcent? I'm on Rogers too and my SMS come in with a -4 hour timestamp. Not all though, but some. So it's pretty weird.
isnt the time stamp on a text, the time it was sent not the time it was recieved. So maybe you phone is just taking ages to recieve texts?
No, it doesn't take 4 hours to recieve a text. Something is screwing up the incoming text's timestamp. When I get a text without first texting someone, it displays the correct incoming timestamp, but if I close Handcent and then open again, it will show that message as -4 hours. The minutes remain correct though. But if I text someone and they reply, the timestamp remains correct. Been trying different settings in the Recieved Messages menu. Provider's delievery report checked, unchecked. Handcent delievery report checked, unchecked. Combinations of the two. Offset recieved messages by -4 hours. Can't seem to fix that little quirk.
I'm on stock Android 4.4.4 with root. I'm using the native app for text messaging and lately is has become really slow. My suspicion is I have too many multimedia messages so I lowered the multimedia message limit to five per conversation. I have since rebooted the phone and been using it for hours, however, when I go into text conversations and scroll thru the messages, I can see that there are many more than five multimedia messages in each conversation. I have the "delete old messages" option checked so shouldn't any older multimedia messages be automatically deleted once the limit of five is reached?
Anyone else have the issue where older text messages are not being deleted? Particularly MMS.
