damn mytouch - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my messages app force closed on me and refused to open again so I restarted. Then when im booted up all my message history is gone, wtf.

Its hard to say what has happened without some extra information. Such as what rom are your running. What kernel. Are you rooted?

That has never happen to me.

How much text messages did you have saved? it's a good idea to back them up and delete them so it doesn't crash.

rooted, stock rom and kernal, although i have tried other roms but restored after liking the stock feel so much

This happened to my wifes mytouch the other day. She is stock unrooted. Had to reset her messaging app and delete all her text. Seems to work now but it was weird.

i don't think it was an overflow of messages
I had about 3000 messages stored, maybe more before i finally deleted them all
I'm guessing perhaps you had too many apps open without actually closing them, and maybe GPS enabled? Then it ran out of memory to use for programs and crashes or something I don't know
But unless you had more messages stored than me, it wouldn't be that
I now enable "replace old messages" at 200 so I don't have an overflow problem anymore
Do you ever restart your mt4g? I reset mine about once a week just incase there's any memory leaks or something

That happened to me a few times on one of my mytouches while using iced glacier. It would FC everytime I opened up the message app. What I did to read the messages was download SMS go app from the market and I was able to read and save some SMS before cleaning up the stock SMS app and then it worked fine.

In messaging settings is it set to auto delete?

It never did till one day i enabled auto delete in the settings, and bam, few hours later all my text were gone, not that I care, but it does happen.

It's a known bug with stock rom. I read about it on the tmo website because the same thing happened to my wife's phone. The cause seems to be random and there is no known fix. It was first reported months ago. It has nothing to do with auto delete or having too many message threads.

and on the phone they said they know it happens, and it's a known issue with the stock software on the stock rom.
basically, youre told by cs to get backup sms app. well, it's too late. no credit.

happened to me yesterday, too...
too bad i don't have any auto-backup program running.
Oh well, just gotta restore sms from few months ago then...and a good opportunity to try my hand on new roms
still kinda pissed, though

I don't understand want big deal is for keeping sms. If you have certain text is that important, why not just forward to your email on the spot.
[via XDA premium]

sleepy-- just cause you may not want to keep texts, doesnt mean others are the same. and this is my wife's stock glacier- she never thought that a 500$ phone would need a "backup set" a mere few months into use. I guess she uses it as a diary of sorts. when did something happen. what was that exchange i had with xyz 4 months ago. etc.
Anyway, looks like a known bug in stock. I'm on royalginger 1.6 on mine and with ext4, hasnt happened and probably wont. another benefit of rooting.

This happened to me on royal ginger 1.6 yesterday when I received a text from my wife. I only had 8 text in total. It force closed when I tried opening and wouldn't open back up until restart and it erased it.

Happened to me a couple days ago, and this is a fresh MT4G sent from T-mo, stock rom and no root (cause I f***ed up my other one and sent it in, got this one free : D)

I am running cm6 and mine has been out for a few hours.
I just downloaded google maps about five minutes ago running aospbot nightly but it took an extremely long time. flashing the latest nightly gave me network error though anyone wanna man up and flash run the ruu to find out if it's just a rom issue or if it's google.
market is down...looks like there will be a major upgrade!

yeah i was having that trouble when I was testing RegawMOD 3.0 lol I thought it was something I did! good to know!
my market has been acting up for a couple days now and its still doing it anyone know of a fix? I thought it was my rom but I've wiped and flashed a different rom and still the same problem.
mine loads fine but when i go to download an app the download arrow pops up for a sec then goes away and it never finishes downloading... good to know it's not just me
I'm having far worse problems with my phone. I started out with the market going slow, clicking to download an app, then waiting 5 to 10 minuets until the download starts. Then came the network errors on the market, taking 12 hours for downloads to start. Now, finally, when I type in www.google.com in my browser, my phone just sits there, looking at me like I'm stupid.
I can go to bing, yahoo, xda, penny-arcade, kotaku. I just can't go to any site related to google, on an operating system coded, ran, and maintained by google. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the definition of irony.
Anyway, if it helps any, I'm running 2.2 cm6, flashed between that and Zenhero 2.1 and the stock rom, doing factory wipes, and both regular and davlik(sp?) cache wipes in between.
Weird, I've had no issues to speak of, running cm6 830 and now 831

Where have my SMS gone?

Hi all,
My SMS messages have just 'gone'! I had quite a few in there and I didnt restart the phone or anything strange, went back in to reply to one I recevied earlier and there is nothing in there!!
Happened to anyone? Have they really gone or can I get them back somehow. I have a backup, but its from a while back...
Anyone?
Thanks...
This forum should have a sticky thread for this... Just do a quick search and you'll find the relevant info. Short answer: it affects all Android phones and there is no fix, backup your SMS messages for an inevitable restore.

Thanks for answer, although if I had someone to moan to i'd have to quote my favourite 'This is not satisfactory!'
They (Android) can't just allow SMS's to dissappear! They must be going somewhere!!
Someone must know somethign about this by now?...
What's happening is there's a glitch in the sms app which can cause the messages database to become corrupt, rather than try to repair the database, Android, just deletes it.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I've never had this with any of the five Android phones I've owned using the default SMS app. I did once try Handcent on the Hero and all my messages disappeared after deleting a thread but after uninstalling and rebooting they came back.
Were you using the default sms app?
I also recommend Sprite Backup which can back up whatever you need daily either to SD Card or cloud storage provider (I use Dropbox).
just happened to me twice this month after being problem free ever since i bought it in December 2010. At 1st i thought it was because I had too many smses. About 5000. Then the 2nd time it happened...just now..only a few hundred messages. It sucks that there is no fix!
Are you using a 3rd party SMS app (downloaded app)?
Are you using htcsense.com? <-- Known Issue, see sticky.
Please search before you make a new thread.

It's a bug in Froyo, i used to keep having all my messages randomly disappear.
The solution is either keep daily backups using an app like "SMS Backup & Restore" or upgrade to Gingerbread

Valid point but...
And actually I don't believe this is a Froyo bug. If it was a generic issue with Froyo then there'd be a lot more and as I pointed out in that thread, 3rd party apps were used. The htcsense.com sync was also shown to be buggy - HTC themselves admit it's a work in progress.

Unfortunately there are a handful of instances where this is the case. I still don't believe it's a Froyo bug, more just occasional glitches in some handsets.
I really don't mean any disrespect and I'm sorry you're having this issue. Hopefully GB will fix it for you (because the "glitch" will be over-written, just as re-flashing a Froyo stock RUU would probably do to *back peddles quickly*).

This topic was started in January, it's not new, just been revived by someone.
I had my SMS messages wipe twice last weekend alone! I use a backup tool now thank-god, which stores my messages in GMail. Dead easy to restore.
Just upgraded to 2.3 also yesterday, will see if this helps.

[Q] Do you have DL30, no ROMs, and your large SMS texts work to nonVerizon customers?

I am having an issue where a really long text is not being sent out to any nonVerizon customer. Verizon buddies receive the text in multiple parts as normal.
I am trying to determine if this is DL30's issue or my ROM's issue.
Please test and let me know if it works or does not work for you and what you have on your phone.
Thanks!
I had the same problem. I use ChompSMS and it has a setting that will split your texts so they send.

Yep, that confirms it. Its just a busted Froyo release. Its obvious this build wasn't finished or intended for use.
Guess I'll just work around it until the legitimate release comes OTA. Then I'll get the superclean version of that.

So busted! I've had a total of zero FC's over my 72 hours with it. I can't stand all the annoying tendencies that this busted ROM seems to cause. I'm so pissed I spent that 15 minutes flashing it to my phone. It's practically bricked now!

I haven't. Until I updated to a DL30 based software it worked perfectly.... gps still was hosed, but everything else was fine.
Now I still have a busted GPS, unable to send large texts to a 1/2 my buddies, however, phone is running faster with better look/feel.
Same problem...large text are being recieved by friends as garbage....unreadable...on all dl30 roms using dl09 radio....

Yes, normal sized SMS messages go through fine.
Just tested this and I also have the same issue if the text is quite longer... more than 160 characters...but I'm not sure exactly where.
Wonder how many gibberish texts Ive sent out
Edit: by more than 160 characters I meant the limit for me is higher than 160 possibly double that IDK where exactly....not that it happens at 160 and above...
SmokeyDP said:

Yes.
Texts less than 160 work fine to anyone. Texts >160 work fine to Verizon customers. MMS texts work fine to anyone.
Just texts >160 fail to nonVerizon.
I'm sure when the OTA for Verizon comes it will fix this as it will be finalized with its own radio. Just have to wait for it to arrive and for it to be super cleaned.
EDIt: I'm saying "160" because I think that is the cutoff for normal SMS.
For now I will just run the separate app for keep texts shorter now that I know.
Every text after i send a long to that person is garbage.....even after reboot ....i have to reload rom to fix.

Well after reading the community forums at sprint.com and android forums, Ive seen people getting different results/bugs such as:
-Netflix stopped working(posted on this forum)
-Other Misc applications not functioning
-Shortcut icons appearing default with no detail
-Voicemail notification continuously appearing with no voicemails
-GPS Icon appearing even when the GPS is turned off
-Text messages taking longer to send
-Calls not connecting
Im sure there is more but these are the ones that caught my eye.
So thats why I was waiting to make sure there isnt another update to fix some of these issues.
Not having Netflix after getting a taste sucks the most
I can say that my gps icon is on and it shows off on the top. Text messages show a number when there are none. Great I updated and now I cant root.
I waiting until the bugs are fixed,
Not updating till then.

Or until Synergy is finally released.
O wow, actually just replaced my evo through sprint. they sent me a brand new one, in an envelope(no accesories) thank god I have been living with a buggy refurb for almost a year.
Only problem is it is preloaded with 2.3!?!?!? the sprint rep said it was funny also 2 other customers received brand new ones, thats unheard of from sprint IMO
maybe they want to make everyone on 2.3 because so many using the wifi hotspots...idk
so I would have redone the universal root method like I did before hand, but read here first ......so no go on universal root?

It's called "gaining knowledge, keeping informed, and keeping the options open". Some people, do not necessarily wish to modify every device they use, at every single opportunity. Since discovering XDA, I have had 6 or 7 different devices, and though I have not flashed a custom ROM to each one of them, I've done a couple. Flashing or not, this entire forum has helped me in some form with each device.

Seriously, I guess you'd have to ask yourself, "how did I find out about XDA?", in order to answer that. At one time, everyone on these forums was a stock user. The second part of your question is answered above.

I was running Mik 1.3 for a few days and upgraded to 1.4 yesterday. From the above, only two apply on this rom: The Netflix & the GPS icon. The GPS works, but in my case, it appears as off whether I have it on or off. The NetFlix problem is an issue that NetFlix is working on and not a "bug" of GB. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I read that somewhere on here when the problem first came up.
Having 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1 grealy outweight those two bugs for me. Out of all the 2.3.3 roms I've tried, this one has been my favorite by a long shot. You just have to set up the phone properly. It took me a good couple of hours to format the SD card and upgrade the ext3, transfer all the files back and forth from the SD card, restoring all my apps and reorganizing my phone, etc.
Well worth it, IMO.
The only issue I have noticed is my Exchange inbox icon sometimes shows that I have a new/unread email when I don't. Besides that, everything is working faster and smoother. The battery life improvement is by far the most dramatic change, imo. One more thing that I personally like is the message received notification toggle is now the first option under message settings...def makes shutting off the notifications faster, which is good when you need to hide new texts from the gf

Thank you for the what???

OK so at the recommendation of one of the members I flashed U.K.E. Rom on to my phone. Kinda liking it but I got the oddest text this morning.

Sounds good. BTW, I called Sprint just to double check to see if they show any calls placed through my phone number or anything. The lady on the phone said it's possible but if someone did it wont post to my account for a few days, especially if they made any international calls.
I didn't figure there was anything scripted into the rom itself to do this, it's possible that it could be something rogue. It's also possible that someone with the skillz was just driving by and grabed my info from a wifi signal and texted me just to F with me.

Wow that is odd as hell. I've been running and testing uke since before it was released and I've never had that pop up on me. Its def not something in the rom and I hope you guys find the app doing it. Good luck.

I think this is what's making me think it's just a fluke or a troll... I've been running these apps for a while now and haven't ever had a problem with them. I didn't even expect a comment from One_Love_420 either. VICODAN is the one that recommended the ROM to me so I wasn't going to just point the finger to the ROM anyways. I did have my Wifi running all night long (had the advanced setting setup to not put my wifi to sleep when my phone goes off). The only thing I haven't done yet is check to see what my logs say on my Linksys router (maybe he tapped my phone for internet).
I think it's just a fluke (or at least I hope... this could be an exspensive bill if this person was able to make calls from my phone or anything like that).

yeah its def an oddity. have you ran miui on it anytime recently and maybe there was residual mess from it and someone was still able to mess with you? or hell, coulda been someone texting the wrong person, i would think its just a fluke if youve been using the same apps for x amount of time and havent had this happen before.
One thing does come to mind when looking at your app list. Go sms pro is a china developed app and has a ton of permissions that i would never approve of, one being the ability to make calls. Check its permissons list on the market. A little much for an app imho.

Didn't think about that... Figured the GO stuff was lagit since it's all from the same group.

I haven't tried Miui yet. I started with CM7 and wanted to get into somthing light (meaning less sprint stuff and being able to uninstall maps and stuff since I only use them once in a great while). I know I got a lot of GO stuff on it but I've just been tinkering with it since the kernal is running a bit more then just the 800 mhz on the cpu. Wanted to "test" out what this thing is capable of.
The bling is nice, the personalization of colors and stuff is cool and all... But I use this for business a lot and kinda like a rock solid machine that's as efficient as possible. I'm looking into other options of roms that are just plane Jane Android next. U.K.E. has been running nicely even with all the bling (minus go sms now I guess). Depending on how put off I am about no bling I might just go back to using U.K.E.

U.K.E. is pretty rock solid for an aosp ROM, I try all of the ROMS on XDA for the shift as theyre released and even though that means im trying alot of diff ROMS i generally restore my UKE backups for my daily driver

You should always check permissions of apps even from the market..Google doesn't keep track of apps published on the market and if they are malicious or not. It's up to users to report if something funky is happening. That's why I un-installed GoSms a long time ago when they first added all of those strange permissions to the updated versions. It was even causing people to have issues with phone calls. Read through market comments and check permissions Always with any app even if it's just a update to a new version. The devs of GoSms are very un-responsive also when people ask them about the permissions and report issues. If you really want to get down to the bottom of something also run a logcat and see what the app is doing.

Wow very random if i must say. I have yet seen or heard of this. Im wondering if you have a rogue app messing with you two. Lets see if we can figure this out, what apps do the both of you have the same of? Ive yet to see this message to me or hear of it from others. And i can tell you that there is nothing written into this rom to send you that message. This is why im thinking its a rogue app. If we could get a list of the apps you both have that received this random message.

I can attest that UKE is a SOLID rom and is very secure.

Because it's based on cm7?
Solid indeed. Outside of that odd text I haven't had any other issues. I haven't tried to track down who's phone number that is Incas it's a friend just messing with me and I haven't had any charges posted to my account so... Might have just been someone messing with me.

It's definately not a rom related issue. Download Addons Detector from the market. This will help you to track down suspicious apps intalled on your device.
So I got rid of all of the GO products and I'm just running the AWD stuff that came with the rom. Only thing I realy miss is the SMS stuff. I looked at handsent and their permissions are the same (for the most part) as go sms.
Any thoughts on an sms program? I'm looking for character count and more info like sent date/time displayed without going into message details.
