I have an unlocked and rooted Arc in which I had recently used sprite backup to restore all my messages (after the unlocking etc). I only just noticed that if i try to delete a sms conversation, it removes all the texts in the messages, but the header remains, i.e. the subject and sender name still shows in the messages main page. When I click on the name, it shows no text. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue and if anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Anyone?
Thanks
Well I have a stock one without rooting,
No problems here.
unlocked + root no issue here.
Maybe something went wrong recovering sms
Are you using stock SMS? I had similar problem with Stock SMS application on X10.. Handcent, ChompSMS, Go SMS Pro etc have not this issue

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so move the topic if necessary.
A few weeks back I bought an X1(Branded Dutch T-Mobile Version) and I've been having problems with the receiving of SMS'. My Today screen indicates there are new messages, eg. SMS \ MMS: 1 unread. But when I check my messages there's nothing there. I tried to see if it may be a false positive, by having a friend send me a text message, but the number did increase, and the message box was still empty. I tried reseting the rom, which obviously killed the messages, but new messages are still not getting through.
Anybody else experiencing the same problem? Anybody know what is going on? How can I recover the (invisible) messags?
Thanks a bunch
that's weird. uh, really weird. it's either YOU have a bad rom/phone software so better have it checked OR your not looking in your SMS/MMS inbox but your outlook inbox instead.

i had the same prob, someone sent me a text and the phone froze, when i turned it on had that message. the only way i found to get rid of it was to delete the message coversation with the person.
i had the same problem, only a hard reset solves the problem. after the hardreset everythink worked fine. some other people at the german xperia board got the same problem.
I tried to hard-reset to no avail. Deleting previous conversations doesn't help. Even SMS' from unknown contacts stay hidden. When I try to export my messages using PIM Backup 2.8 It shows that I have 2 'Text Messages' folders in the export root. One with the hidden(unread) messages. And one with the visible ones. When I exported the messages and reimported them, they stayed hidden. When I wrote a program to parse the PIM Backup exported file. I could see that the hidden messages get properly exported.
Any ideas?
Hearing that the German based roms have troubles too, could it be a reg setting that is wrong, something with localization? I really hate that I have a Dutch rom.
i had this problem i simply hard reset it and it was gone...if this didnt work then try reflashing the orignal rom
I just ran into the same issue.
Funny is that I did hard reset on not flashed orginall Dutch T-mobile X1 which was working good. Well now it is not :/
Tip for others looking for a quick workaround: use uiggmo light panell to read them. The only way I found so far.
I am flashing mine today. (Before I will hand it over due to case issue).
hi,
I recently encountered a problem with receiving text messages on my HTC Magic (32A)...
I am able to receive calls, send messages, but I don't receive any.
My mobile operator works fine, there are no delays...
Any possible solution?
thanks
ive read that some people have had luck fixing this problem by deleting all sms threads out of your messaging program.. apparently if you have heaps of sms (1000+) you can run out of room to store new sms...
also you can try installing a 3rd party app like handcent and see if that helps..
also a factory reset couldnt hurt as well if the problem persists (im assuming your running stock rom)
Hi there,
after writing an SMS, I wondered about all my messages got deleted automatically. Additionaly to this, the whole call log was erased at the same time.
Luckily I did an backup so I could restore nearly all of them. But this really sucked. Hope, it will not happen again.
So anybody of you knows what could have caused this? I obviously disabled the option in the stock sms app to delete old messages.
Normally I'm using Handcent SMS on CM 5.0.8...
Thanks for your help =)
Hi there,
i wanted to take the SMS from my old G1 to my arc.
some 334 messages.
i used the backup i had from "SMS Backup & Restore"
it said it restored them all.
i made a new backup and it said it backed up 334.
so i guess they must be in the DB.
however if i startup "Messaging"
- i get a unusable sort order (actually i can't recon what it is sorting. certainly not conversation with the newest update is top-most, what i would expect)
now i wonder:
- is this a bug of "Messaging" App
- how can i get the vanilla stock "Messaging" App
- is it a Problem with "SMS Backup & Restore" and how can i solve that
any help deeply appreciated!

It's not a bug. SMS Backup backs up messages based on date but the restore doesn't always sort it chronologically. The only way to have it updated is to send or receive a message from the same threaded conversation.
Why do you want stock? There are lots of better SMS applications.
e.g. Handcent: http://www.bestandroidappsreview.com/2010/04/top-android-app-handcent-sms.html
I've used SMS Backup & Restore a few times and never had issues until trying to move messages from one handset to another.
As BluechipJ says, the messages are all still there, it's just the order is messed up a bit.
But, over time, it'll sort itself out.
Thanks for your answers!
Now that i got messages from the most important contacts it's already getting better.
I'll have a look at handcent. Not so sure tough if I realy trust anybody when it comes to reading my SMS ;-)
Hello guys..
actually am facing this problem right now on my C6602 Xperia z..
Can anyone of you help? How to sort my SMSs by date chronologically??
Thanks...
Hey all,
Android 2.3.3 rooted & unlocked, UK Vodafone .145 build.
I can't send longish SMS messages (or MMS), usually when it's 3 long. So far I've been lazy & just condense them to 2 long. Today it's pi$$ed me off in that 2 long have been stuttering too.
Anyone else have this problem? I Googled it & checked my network settings & they appear to be fine.
TIA
Rixter
A friend of mine has the exact same problem, but so far we have been unable to solve it. Have tried installing handcent to solve the problem, but no luck. Her phone is the standard arc no changes from stock, except we installed handcent and slideit keyboard.
Anyone has any solution to this?
I had the same problem on 2.3.2, now on 2.3.3 i use go sms and it hasnt been doing it
Do you keep all of your messages?
Im using the standard app, and in message conversations if i delete the previous messages i dont have a problem sending messages 2/3/4 in 1 go but if i try to send a message 2/3/4 to my girlfriend because i keep all her messages, i must have nearly 3000+ on there, it lags slightly. so try deleting some messages or use an app from the market to back them up to your sd card so you dont loose them
after almost 2 years from the last post, I am having a similar issue: I can't send sms larger than "3" sms. I have a Live with Walkman, using CM10.1. maybe this is a more complex problem than I thought...
