It's the second time some old sms (almost 6months) reappear in the sms's and are the same sms's than the 1st time! The android backup is OFF. Anyone with the same problem or know the cause? This is specially a problem because most of the sms reappearing from are from my EX, lol.
SMS or MMs? Do you use Sense? Is it when you flash a new rom? when you Restore sms?
or maybe just your EX want you back
Dind't check it there were any mms but at least were SMS. And a lot of them, from different people.
My phone is stock.
Android 2.3.3 Sense 2.1 Kernel 2.6.35.10 build 2.50.405.2
Din't do anything different thun usuall besides I DID sign in in the htc hub... And now that I'm thinking off... It could be the main problem!!
hum, the problem is not my EX, it's the actual one that will go mad
Once you sign into HTC Hub, you are also signing into your HTC Sense account. The HTC Sense account is supposed to back things up so you can restore them but is as dodgy as anything. It seems to restore random messages so you can delete them and it can restore them again! LOL
Try changing this setting: Menu > Settings > Accounts and Sync > HTC Sense
and then disable any Syncing in there... that should stop your texts from reappearing.

The last 5 builds I have flashed seemed to have stopped working with sense conversation mode. Does any one know why??!
Basically, I backup everything on myphone, reinstate after flashing and i can see them in the sense tab. But when I go to open them in conversation mode nothing is there unless I switch to traditional.
I do find however that if I get a text from someone it appears and shows all their old texts....
Weird...any ideas>

They are working but in different mode. If you delete them all and then you start to keep new ones conversation mode will work.
They are aways issues after flashing and then restoring backed-up data! I don't advice you to do this in the future after flashing new ROM....if you want to make a hard reset then it will work without probs (most of the times)
hope that helps you
cheers
Hang on a minute, I've been flashing phones for about 6 years now and I've never had to delete all my texts and start from scratch.
What's the point in myphone otherwise?!
Also, I have flashed my HD2 about 18 times now (maybe more) and it's only the last 3 flashes that this happens in. If I revert to an official rom, or some of the earlier build's by chef's in here then all of my texts come back in conversation mode.
I was wondering if anyone knew why this happens in the newer builds? :-/
Anyone else? I can't believe I'm the only one - it's doing my nut in!

i noticed something similar, but i'm not using myphone.
the thing is the following: sense makes a new folder in the sms inbox named
"conversations" (i saw that because i backup my texts with pimbackup, at the
restore you can see this folder). when you restore this folder (and i don't know
if myphone does this; i stoped to use myphone because it doesn't sync the
content of sms folders inside the inbox (at least the builds i used, about 3
months ago), which is out of regard with manila because manila ignores subfolders
also) then the conversations are there from the beginning, allthough they are
not correctly linked to the contact. for that you have to "edit" the contact
one time, or add it to the people tab. after that all conversations for this
contact are back (which is also the reason for the manila lags, this is when
manila "reads" all the old sms's from this contact in the background, which
could be very slow if you have 5000+ sms as i do). another thing to get the
conversations back is to send or recieve just one sms, after that the sms
history is also back (for the corresponding contact)...
hope i could help you a bit with my findings!
regards,
markus
Thanks Markus, I noticed the same for point 2 as you said. It's strange though. It must be an update as part of the newer builds of manilla because I always used to be able to retrieve my conversations with MyPhone. I think they've done this as a cheeky way of getting around sms lag!
Shameful HTC, shameful!
Hi everyone.
I am using Handcent on my Legend for my text messages. Yesterday when I got a text message, Handcent gave out a general error and had to close. When I re-opened it, ALL my text mesages were gone!
I was looking into HTC support pages, and they claim that when automatic backup is ON, it automatically saves settings and sms messages which are restored after doing a "Restore to fActory settings". I'm a bit sceptical of this, and before I blow away all my settings for nothing, wanted to know if anyone tried this, and if it actually worked...
Cheers
I tried this two times. Once it works, secondly not! I have then no message in Message application, but there were my smss in sms widget on destkop!! Really strange. So I installed afterwards some sms backup applications and finally I recovered and backed up cca half of my 2000 sms.
After two years with windows mobile i started to hate it and was looking forward to android, but after this experience, I wanted to throw the Legend with Android out of the window.... my fault was that I trusted to HTC BACKUP, which let me down. I should make an additional backup of sms when I was recovering phone. Hope this helps .
It has... I'll give it a shot then. I have after this experience installed sms backup....

---> Same feeling!!!!
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.
I am not sure if it is just me or everyone else is also having this problem also:
The Message app interface is really slow. It takes a long time to load or send messages. There is atleast a 5+ second delay when interfacing with different threads. For example: When I am reading my txt messages from person A, and then I press the back button to view all my messages, it takes atleast 5+ secs to go back to the view with all messages.
To troubleshoot this issue, I backed up my mmssms.db file and deleted it from the phone. This way I start fresh with no saved message. All of a sudden this issue was solved. The interface was fast again with no lag at all. But when I restored my original mmssms.db again, the interface becomes slow again.
Any way resolve this issue?
Edit: I am using the MDJ FroYo Revolution v2.3 NAND build.
Is this problem occurring in the Android ROM you have in your signature, or in WM?
If it's WM then you need to update your ROM as there were SMS lag issues in early WM ROMs.

Well I have less than 1000, so that may be your problem...
Well I don't want to delete all my text. I like having all the conversations saved. Is there any fix for this issue?
I can't suggest a solution that would make the messaging app quicker with that many texts, but I use an app called SMS Backup+ (available free on the Market) and it automatically backs up all messages (and new messages) to your Gmail account, in a new folder called SMS. That way, you could delete them from your phone and still have access to them.
Alternatively, try an another SMS app, like GO SMS (again, free on the Market, as are many others). It may be better for you.

I installed GO SMS. Really like the app, thanks for the tip, although the interface is still slow.
Also, I have been noticing my text messages keep randomly being deleted. Luckily I have them backed up and have to restore it. I have noticed this problem atleast 4 times during the last 4 days. Why is this happening? I made sure to go to Settings and uncheck limited messages.

For the SMS problem use a non-stock sms app. Download GoSMS Pro or Handcent SMS. Do not uninstall the stock app but just take out the notification from stock app. I'm using GoSMS and it's better than stock IMO. You can for example backup your SMS to sd with it.
You could also try to use another dialer to correct the call problem. Go Dev team has also Go Contacts that provides you with Go Dialer. I'm using these also
For the contact thing. Have you tried to take off the Syncing of contacts from Accounts&Syncing?
Have you thought about installing a custom rom? There's nothing wrong with your phone, those are plain software issues...

well i dont want to install any custom rom...ill spent a whole day in rooting it thn a new update is gonna be available very soon...thn again ill come to custom rom...that seems to b a complete waste of time...
I had the same issue with the contacts, but once I deleted the duplicates (and not transferring from the old phone since they were already backed up on my google account)
select to view and take off SIM contacts. clears up a lot of the duplicates issues.
Search sms time fix in the market, when installed set it to use phone's time.
fixes the issue. The new 2.36 ruu doesnt fix the time issue.
The DHD will try to merge all your contacts from all your linked accounts. I had a similar problem as HTC Sense for Facebook and Twitter will run alongside the Facebook and Twitter apps. You need to check sync to make sure you don't duplicate accounts. Remove the duplicate accounts could help your problem.
