Anyone else having this problem? I have it set to delete messages when a conversation goes above 3000, but it's happened twice today that I go into messaging only to find all conversations deleted.
You should probably keep it in 200, I dont see the reason why you would want to keep 3000 messages.

Ok, but what does that have to do with all of my text messages being randomly deleted?

There's one friend who I text regularly, and I'm not sure how many messages I have from her, but today something strange happened.
I received a message from her and it looked like it came from a different number because it started a new thread. Then I realised there wasn't another thread, and for a moment I thought I'd lost all the messages. But then I noticed they still appear on the TouchFlo.
When I tap any message from her before the first message of the new thread, it opens the message in the old style (i.e. as if threading is switched off).
I thought maybe I'd accidentally moved all the messages. But they don't appear in any other folder, and they are definitely in my inbox, which I confirmed with Jeyo Mobile Companion.
So, shall I just continue with the new thread and ignore the last messages? Is there definitely a limit? Is there any other threading software?
I have never heard anything like this before.

Haven't heard or experienced anything like this. Usually you have a max limit of approx 50 sms in your inbox (not conversations with someone using threaded sms, but actual sms from diffrerent people), but it shouldn't behave like yours.
I'm assuming this female is (very) close to you and you do not want to delete previous sms? I would delete them and use new thread and see if same thing happens
Hi there, just by habit I never delete any of the threaded text messages to and from my girlfriend, and so there must be over well 2000 in the conversation.
The same thing happened to me once, I just assumed there was a limit on a conversation size, and so it started a new one. It's a shame how it deals with the old one though, stopping the threading. I sync'ed all the old messages using Microsoft myphone and deleted it, just leaving the new thread.
Access old thread?

This exact thing has just happened to me, also texting the girlfriend ... She has told me things that i have probably agreed to and since forgoten, is there any way to look at the old thread as the touch flow only allows me to go back 25 messages from all contacts. They must still be there as some of them are still in the 25 touch flow messages, unless it has its own cache?
FYI my best estimate would be some where in the region of 1000 - 1500 sms, double that with replies so is there a thread limit of 2500 or 3000?
Any ideas?
SMS limit
Exactly same happened to me this morning...I am using the HTC 6.1 WWE Rom on my ATT tilt.
No thread of older sms but they are in my inbox (confirmed by disabling the threaded sms). Mine too have 3000+ sms on my tilt.
Do any one get the fix/work arond for the sam to see the older sms in threaded form.

Approximately 2740 sms in a sigle thread as i met that situation. any ideas??
And no i have the "Delete Old Messages" Unchecked.
It just randomly crashes and then deletes all my texts Also itll get a spell where i cant send messages until i reset the phone. Any ideas?
Its the ATT 3g version. Thanks
anyone know?
Known issue of sorts... It's happened to several people, myself included. The Messaging app will FC, and when you reopen it all threads have been deleted. I'm not sure what causes it, but I haven't had it happen again. Some have stated that they think it may be more likely to happen if you unchecked the delete old messages setting or if you allow message threads to get too large.

Your guess is as good as mine. If you REALLY need to minimize loss of text messages... you can check out the backup options in the Market.

Thanks, yeah it helps me cause i talk to all my customers via text message i got to remember what ive been saying lol
It has happened to me with large amounts of text going over 2000 and sometimes up to 5000 but then FC and BAM they're gone. So Try backing them up every so often.
I'm sure I'm not the only one having this issue and just wanted to know you thoughts...
My SMS threads with 400+ are really starting to take a while to open, one of my threads with 600+ takes over 8 seconds before it shows up after I select it (just shows the loading message) and then another 3 - 6 seconds before I can click on the message to reply... Other than deleting the thread, does anyone else know how to resolve this? I find it hard to believe that a 1GHz processor can't handle a thread of 600 messages...
By the way, I have HTX Sense turnes off, I'm running a stock HTC non animated background, only 3 widgets that don't do much, and nothing running in the background (by using Advanced Task Killer @ Fast Reboot).
Thanks You'all for your help!

Try Handcent SMS, it is almost never slow for me, I have over 2000 messages between me and my wife.
Confirmed

I just want to say thanks- I've used this program before, but never noticed its superiority until now... it really is much faster and better in every way- now I just gotta figure out how to remove the stock SMS notification so I'm not clearing two notifications for each SMS...
Thanks Again,
Rob

Just open the stock messaging app, hit menu, settings, disable notifications.
Don't take this wrong - but why would you need/want/desire to keep 2000 text messages. Are you in a legal battle and need to document everything?
Keeping messages can come in handy, but I prefer to clear out occasionally, so I use SMSBackup (free app) and it copies all my messages to a folder in my GMail account, so I can still search them if I need to get a hold of something in the history. Not to mention the added plus of looking through my messages from a desktop when I want to find a number or address..
not sure whats up...
sometimes it takes a while for message to come up.. or opening a thread... or switching back to main screen message. is it because there is too many texts? or does that not matter?
also sometimes the N1 is a bit glitchy to where ones where i have contacts for in address book, shows up as number without picture... like if i didnt have the contact added... then after a while, the name shows up again..
any ideas?
stock N1 on 2.2.1
*edit* using the advanced task killer doesnt help either.
The messaging app will slow way down if you have a lot of saved texts.
24417 according to SMS Backup & Restore...
I use an app to back up all my SMS's to my gmail (tv.studer.smssync) and then have another app that automatically deletes any over a week old from my phone (com.carrotapp.smscleanerpro) - this one was a paid app, but only like $1

how does it back up to ur gmail? can u see it on gmail?

*edit*
trying that SMS backup ... omg so slow.. 100 per backup... 24417 to back up.. >_<
It'll take a while, but then you can finally get rid of all those messages in your inbox. I have some 4k messages floating about in my gmail, but only ~100-200 on my phone at any time.
Also, in case you didn't already see, it creates a label in gmail called "SMS" so you have a threaded conversation list view of the messages.

i guess it not my business, im just curious why you would back up that many sms? why would you keep that many on your phone in the first place?
You can't expect 24k text messages and the phone running perfectly smooth.
Why are you keeping them all and backing them up anyway? Are you really going to sit down and read all of it one day? You're crazy if you do lol. I have about 4k right now and each thread is limited to 200 each. So it probably won't be moving from that at all. If I have to go through anything, I think going through 200 messages would be enough. If you're not gonna read all your texts and stuff, I suggest limiting them. Otherwise, backing it all up will just be a pain
24k texts? That's way overkill. SMS restore and backup has an option to just view your xml backups. If you need to read them again, just use that instead of importing them back to your phone. Messages take up space in the phone's internal memory so it's wise to clean up your messages.
But still 24000 messages? I can already already imagine 10000+ "Okies"...

Not at one time, that's my running total in backup (gmail). Like I said, I only have 100-200 on my phone at any given time.
I recommend SMS Backup and Restore by Ritesh Sahu. The other SMS Backup app only backs up your smses to Gmail, which IMO is not practical for 24000 over messages. It takes time and data to upload so many messages to your Gmail.
SMS Backup and Restore on the other hand backs up text smses into a xml file which is much much quicker and easier to handle although 240000+ smses will probably still take up some time. Unfortunately it does not back up MMS messages with pictures though I seldom use MMS anyway.
looks like theres a limit on how much gmail can save SMS's... up to 100 per person.. D: i have some ppl in the thousands on my phone :[
Stepped away from my MT4G for a minute, when I returned, I found all my SMS's deleted. Only had about 1000, and 5-10 pictures messages. I know I had ~1GB of free memory. This was a big issue with my Nexus One, but didn't expect this to happen on the MT4G.
Does anyone know the cause of this?

Well, I know the stock messaging app has a setting to delete old messages, so you might want to check and see if that is checked.

It has not been checked since I got the phone. Seems to be common reading the T-MO forums.
I know that the max thread of messages to the same recipient is 200 so if you are not deleting messages on a normal maintenance basis, perhaps some of them are getting bumped after the 200 message Max is being reached? These, of course, are referring to messages to and from the same recipient(s). My wife likes to babble and I can get to 200 messages in no time....just sayin.

I know what your saying. BUT in the stock SMS app, I do not have that feature checked.

I woke up to this happening yesterday, but I use evil's miui rom. All messages were gone and new ones would not show up. Had to reflash to fix it.
Are you using the stock messaging app or some other messaging app? Because it happened to me once with handcent. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it again and everything is working fine since.
silly problem
guys I can sure that you have installed quick cache cleaner app, or any other equalent app, it will delet all sms when u clear the all system cache,
solution: all you have to do is very simple open cache cleaner app n select messages press n hold it n select EXCLUDE that's it your problem solved ...
