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?
friend of mine just got a pure. she is having issues with text messaging. it has the touch flo 3d interface and if you send a text from your favorite people (that has their picture and threaded sms) it works and sends just fine. if you go into all messages and send through the old winmo interface, it acts like it sends, but it never sends anything and no confirmation noise that it was sent. incoming texts never make a noise or pop up, she has to just check her phone periodically. i turned off touch flo and tried sending a text through the windows default ui and nothing would send. does she have a bad phone, or am i just doing this wrong? it shouldnt be that hard to send a text.
I have noticed this here and there too. Thought I was going insane. I could be missing something simple but I dont think so. Even after a send / recieve they just sit there.
Noticed this on the stock ATT rom and on some cooked ones too.
Hi Guys and Gals....
2 quickies...
Whatever happened to being able to spell check sms messasges? My Exec could do it.
Also, i am having trouble writing txt messages the screen kinda just scrambles while i am typing and then will eventually come back with all of my txt displayed accurately. Anyone else got this prob?
thanks

Thanks Wacky, I had already actually read most of that thread but couldn't see anything with the same problem that I have.
Everything about my SMS is painfully slow. Just pressing the sms icon can cause the phone to lock up or even crash. Normal typing in a word doc for eaxmple is a pleasure, in an sms it's difficult.
All of sms's are sending straight away and being recieved. It's just the erratice behave that the software goes through whenever i want to send a txt
I want my "SPELL CHECK" sms messages back as well. how do we get this back?
This problem isn't horrible just to start out, but I am always wondering if it's a random fluke or something to be just expected for now.
My unread SMS count seems to be off when I've read all the messages, usually it will show 1 or 2 unread even if I've read them all (or then 3 or 4 unread if I get a new message after that, then it will go back to 1 or 2).
I have tried playing with it, and it will sometimes go away, but it is just so random that I don't know what does it....could be a bootup, opening the message for a longer amount of time, sending a reply vs. only reading it etc. I messed around with those and sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't, just very odd to me, and I was wondering if it was normal.

Also happened with Handcent widget, but using stock now.
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.
