all sms/mms gone - Desire HD General

Just to say that a I had a crazy bug today :
I was going to write a news sms and saw that all my sms/ mms were gone !!!!
empty screen
Nothing to do but to resign !
This kind of bug SHOULD NOT HAPPEN !
I sent a mail to HTC...

There is a whole thread for this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840582
It is probably related to htcsense.com sms backup feature..

thanks for the tip

Softwareupdate, now problems!

hi!
I got a problem:
I did the official softwareupdate from the HTC website, but now I´m very unhappy!
as you know, all the sms are saved like a chatlog of ICQ or Skype. It is like this:
ME: ...
You: ....
ME: ... and so on!
MMS have been saved seperatly! But now in the new version MMS are saved in the SMS folder!
Can i change that? Cause i really hate it!
The version is: 1.56.407.2
yeah try search there are threads about
how to turn off threaded sms
thanks for your reply!
just the make sure: the sms should stay threaded, but the mms shall be seperated!
i used the search function before, but i did not know what to search for!
thanks ill try it later!
Edit: okay i didn´t find anything that could help me!
I want the old style back, cause windows deletes the sms after having received more than thousand by one person! but the mms should stay!
go to settings>system>sms settings and turn it from threaded to classic mode
thanks for your answer!
the sms shall stay threaded!
i only want the mms to be unthreaded again, as it was on my original rom!

SMS scheduling issues

Hi guys, it seems i'm having an issue when i schedule an SMS with PowerSMS, i did a test to schedule a SMS to my brother 4 minutes later and it never recieved.
I checked PowerSMS and it said it sent it.
I checked SMS History and out of the 10 test SMS i sent, i saw one in the history of sent SMS however even that one never got recieved.
I have applied the SMS hotfix and it still doesn't work.
I sent an SMS the usual way and 2 seconds later; my brother recieved it.
I used SKB Group SMS Scheduler but this one was even more weird. If i set a schedule, it would ignore it and send the SMS instantly; making the whole scheduling thing useless.
Has anyone used a similar program on the LEO and made it successfully work?
Thanks in advance.
bumping to hopefully get a solution.

hey dude,
not sure whether you are aware of it but the leo has some issues with sms and some ciaim that the hot fix for it fixes it and some dont...anyway i used the sms scheduler for a long time now (previously on diamond and diamond2) and it worked perfectly.
in some cases itworked on my leo but i reckon the sms phone issue must be fixed before any other sms program
Can someone add link for that software please?

Great I was using v1.2 and work perfect (except for the calendar that seems to be huge and button are out of screen , but setting the date with the keyboard do the trick)
Tilt 2
Had the same issues with Tilt 2. PowerSMS and Skb do not send SMS's SMS Scheduler works good. Too bad it isn't ported to VGA so the screen looks wierd.
Thanx SMS Scheduler because only one that works and it's FREE...

SMS Limit at 1060 per contact?

I have one contact which has over 1000 sms record on my HD2. Today while i was replying to the contact sms, i saw that the messages count was only 2. I then went into All Messages and discover that i have the same contact person listed there. One with 1060 sms and another one with 2 sms.
If i click on the 1060 and it just go back to the sense message tab. If i click on the one with 2 sms, i could reply.
I'm wondering if 1060 is the max sms that HTC message app could handle.
If i switch to traditional mode, i can see all messages from that contact.
Anyone has the same problem?
i had a similar thing.. i write like 1k-1.3k sms in one month, most of it with my gf. the sms thread with her deleted itself after like 3 -5 months or so.. couldnt find the sms again.
this happened two times with my samsung omnia.. dont know if it will happen with the HD2 too.. we'll see in 2 months xD
maybe it will not happen so fast here cause it has more ROM than the omnia.. but maybe its fixed in the windows system >.< suxx a bit, but since then i back up my sms every week xD
and btw, im not using the htc messaging... dont like it :/
WOW
I didn't know some people could keep so many messages on their HD2...
What is the use? Contest maybe lol
Or maybe you need to read all the 1060 messages.... (hummm)
Seriously, I think it's not a real problem and we have to be pragmatic sometimes
Just erase messages from time to time like 95% of us all : it's the best fix

or just use myphone and put them in the archive once in a while. works great.
that way you can still read the messages on a pc if you really want to but ur phone is clean

[Q] 3.14 ROM and SMS lag..dear god say its fixed.

I don't see a thread about this..please someone tell me we can have more than 25 texts in a 'conversation' and not sit for 30 seconds or more waiting for that little scroll bar to shrink so we can actually type in a text message.
Most of my friends have 500+ texts now and I have to revert to manually keying in their name and craeting a 'fresh' message every time I respond to them.
of course after I flash that history will be gone..but I really want to believe they've fixed this R I D I C U L O U S bug once and for all.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Well even if it doesnt, try using something like PIMBackup to backup all your messages, then clear them out. thats what i've resorted to doing on a weekly basis. I am hoping at some point this problem is fixed and then i can merge all those weekly backups and restore them into the messaging app. but until then i still have an archive of them
I've asked this question in a few of the other threads about the 3.14 ROM & it seems to still be there.
I doubt it'll change unless HTC rewrites the program to only show the last 10 of each persons texts instead of all of them
I've been running the leaked 3.14 and have noticed no sms lag. The whole ROM runs so much smoother. Battery life is better as well, but then that could be my battery being broken in too.
Overall it's worth it to switch over. I've been very happy with it.

other mms app..

sorry to hijack my own thread, but is there a screenshot of this sms app? i've been looking to replace the htc sense sms app (reason i started this thread) into something that looks more like the iphone 'bubble thought' thread IM conversation.
but for some reason..i'm having a super hard time finding screenshots of the app in your SIG...there's lots of screnshots of the config screen..but not the UI for the mms and sms conversation itself.
is it worth the hassle to swap sms/mms clients? i like sense..but i don't like having to jump through hurdles (like manually keying in the person's name each time) to sms people.
THanks!
It's the older WM SMS app that was before Manila 2.5. If you've ever had a Touch Pro 2, Kaiser/Tilt, MDA/Wizard it's the SMS app that's on that. Its actually the program that your email is in too.
To switch is easy: install the Disable HTC Messaging cab on my post & also the Arcsoft one for MMS. You'll have to configure the Arcsoft client for your MMS server settings. If you have the TMOUS HD2 then just install both of the other cabs on there for MMS profile & settings & you'll be good to go. To test, just send yourself an MMS
It seems to me that the messaging app's lag problem MIGHT be fixed. when i was on 2.13 with around 400msgs in the database it was lagging a lot, I backed everything up with PIMbackup before i updated the firmware. Upon restoring the backup with all the messages, there is almost no lag now. Maybe a real quick stutter when a message comes in vs the nearly 5-10 seconds that my phone would completely freeze up and be unusable before
This could also quite possibly be because the message database is nice and clean now. We'll see what happens with time.

All SMSes disappeared with no warning...

I had the phone for a week now, did couple of factory resets (when playing around with stuff), and yesterday morning I permrooted and HBOOTed the phone...
The phone overall works great, really no complaints, but 10 minutes ago I receive an SMS and open up Messages, and the only SMS I have the in whole app is the one that I have received...so all my SMSes (5834 to be precise) have vanished into thin air...
I am doing another restore right now, thank god I have it on the card...
It's pretty worrying that the phone would be so unrealiable to erase information...
There are two more guys with DHDs on AndroidForum with the same issue:
http://androidforums.com/desire-hd-support-troubleshooting/214946-sms-have-all-disappeared.html
Has any1 else had that happen?
happened a few times to me too, but cannot trace it down to a specific reason...
this IS annoying and forces me to backup my sms on a daily basis!
Wow, that definitely blows...and you have stock DHD, so rooting/HBOOT mods are definitely not the reason...
If it will be a regular occurence I might as well throw the phone in the trash, coz to backup 5000+ SMSes on daily basis, no thank you...
iPhone had no issues with all those SMSes for years, it can't be the sheer number of them...
Nope not to do with size as it happend to me and i only had 300-400 texts altogether before it happened. Btw when it happened to you did ur messages app FC then u have to restart only to find no texts?
Whoa this worries me, how should I go about backing up my messages? I'm all synced with HTC Sense, won't that keep em backed up?

Elaborate on the question a little bit for me, I didn't quite understand you!
I received a SMS, and I just wanted to send a text back, pressed Messages only to find it's completely blank.
Restarted the phone and nothing still blank.
I also had an issue with it today that it didn't store calls I made in Call History, after I restarted it, it started working again though.

SMS Backup & Restore by Ritesh Sahu...it's avalabile on the market...HTC Sense can only back them up, but not restore them back to the phone (not that I know a way to anyway)...
http://android.riteshsahu.com/apps/sms-backup-restore
This presents a real problem for me, as it makes it a useless phone...I need a phone for calling and SMSes primarily...everything else comes second...
This happened to my Desire Z today, at around the same time as the OP.

There is an app in the market that you can use to backup and restore messages to and from ur gmail acc. this app also has an setting to backup an sms right away when it receives one. dont know the exact name (phone battery empty) but i found it when i was searching for backup sms in the market.
Hope this helps you.
Sorry for my vague description, here it is again in more detail
I received a text message from a friend and i received a notification in my noti-bar
I pulled the bar down and click the message, it then tried to open the messages apk
it force closed saying htc.messages.apk or something hast FC'ed...
I thought lets just restart and it will all be happy days again
I restarted and open the text fine, but when i pressed back to go into my inbox i noticed there were no other text message!
And that's exactly how it happened

Ah ok, now I got it!
As far as I can recollect there was no app crash on mine, just pulled up empty file.
I thought maybe when I restart the phone things will get back to normal (like they did with call history), but it didn't...Messages were still blank.

Hmmm...this almost makes me wonder if this is somehow not related to HTCSense.com...
It's just weird that it happened to both of us at about the same time...
If it happens again I'll disable syncing with HTCSense (it's more or less useless anyway, I have local file backups of both), and see if it happens after that...
My HTCSense message log is completely empty, too. I don't think it ever worked.
I had this happen a few weeks back. I opened a new text message and the messages widget crashed. All my messages seem to have been deleted. I was quite concerned as my messages contain important information (I did got to the trouble of migrating them from my old phone)...an email from HTC to see if the emails were deleted (or just not visible as some have reported on other forums) and if there was a way to get them back elicited this response:
Thanks for contacting HTC.
We appreciate your support for our products.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for bringing your concern to our attention. With regard to your question, unfortunately, once messages are deleted from the SMS widget, you can no longer retrieve it, unless you have a back up from your SD card or to your SIM card.
Should you encounter any difficulties or have any concerns we have provided, please feel free to contact us again.

Needless to say this jumble of standard form responses did not answer my question. A further question about how I could possibly avoid this situation in the future; their response...
We appreciate your support for our products.
Thanks for the update. With regards to your concern, please be advised that this is a rare issue that happened to your phone. We will forward this concern to our technical support team for future developments. We advise you to perform a soft reset on your phone. To perform a soft reset, remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After re-installing the battery, turn on the phone.
Should you encounter any difficulties or have any concerns we have provided, please feel free to contact us again.

Rather than bash my head further against a brick wall, I downloaded an app to forward my SMS messages to my gmail as a safe guard and copied what messages I could from the only part of HTC sense that was partially working for me.
I had the same with my HTC Desire Z
I received a SMS, and when I opened it, all my messages were gone, except for the received message.
I read in the official android bug-forum, that this might be a issue with sqlite, but it has not yet been fixed in android 2.2. luckily I just migrated everything so most of my sms are in a backup.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5669
I have had the same issue a few times with the Desire HD ROM running on my HTC HD2...this is ridiculous.
Guys, I experienced these as well. I realised that when this happens, my messages are actually in HTCSense.com... The weird thing is, before having my DHD I was using HD2 with DHD rom... Then when I got my phone 2 days ago, those sms' which were not supposed to be in this phone reappeared... All the histories I had in my HD2 were in... I suppose this is an act of HTCSense.com...
me too!
This happened to me a few days ago..
I went to reply to a text message that I'd forgotten about and my list was blank!
I went to create a new text and it popped up saying the messages app had crashed.. I killed the process and no luck - crashed again.
Restarted the phone and the messages were still gone..
In terms of non-stock apps/configuration that may be worth mentioning I have:
Android Task Killer
Superuser/VISIONary
Titanium Backup
The only other thing I have done is enabled usb diagnostics (recommended in another thread to stop the occasional lag).
Anyone got any ideas?
Now it happend to me, too!
Performed a hard reset on tuesday and everything went finse since than. SMS were automaticly backed up from HTCSense. But 10 Minutes ago all my text massages were gone... They are still on my HTCSense account - but how to restore???
Thats a mess...
Tough luck guys!
I guess I won't be logging in to HTC Sense anytime soon
Tried to restore my SMS with my SMS BackUp programm. Got the notification "Successfully restored 119 items (2663 dups)."
But on my DHD are only the 119 sms...
Seems that there are still some left-overs the massage widget cannot read.
Ideas anyone?
Nobody an idea? or the same problem?
