Hello Gadgets elites
I have a unusual problem. My SMSs have gone missing or say being erased or deleted automatically and that too over 2000 in one conversation. The surpringing fact is that they are being erased between a certain period of time viz. July and August msgs are erased and msgs before and after are there in my inbox. Pls, guys help i need that msgs back.

Hey everyone,
hope not a repost, made a little search but couldn't find anything related.
I was receiving several important SMS messages about an hour ago and I was moving them to a folder under Inbox. Then I soft-reseted my device (sorry, original Wm5 HP 6915) and then the first time the phone couldn't find a GSM service. Then I resetted my device again.. and.. oops.. all the messages I received and moved are gone, not the ones residing in the Inbox itself which are received just minutes ago before the mentioned ones.
That's bad because they were important, thats why I've been moving them from Inbox.
Any help to retreive/recover those SMSs back? Looked out for some software but all are some sort of backup utilities.
This is damn important
Thank you.
btw I dloaded mail account repair from http://nicolasmauri.blogspot.com/2007/01/wm5-utility-recover-your-lost-mail.html, chose SMS and said do it, and nothing happened.
Hi all,
Earlier on today when sending a text my phone froze up and after a minute I pulled the battery... when it rebooted all my SMS and email had gone!!!
My email is on Exchange server but wont sync back... new SMS's seem to come in ok but what has happened to my messages and how do I get them back?
Any ideas what files I need to look for ?
Cheers, Wayne
That seems very strange that your SMS have gone. They only disappear after a hard reset normally. Or you deleting them of course.
Sure does :-( hope the phone isnt fcuked already!!!
Dont even know where to look but guessing they are in a database somewhere

Just got my HD2 a few days ago. When I synced with myphone I got my 800+ smses in ok but I was not very happy with the performance of the phone (running stock ROM). And so...
I backed up all the smses to a PC and then deleted them from the myphone webpage - after syncing they are now gone from the phone also.
The problem is - when I go to Messages / All messages I can still see the folders with the conversations - and the numbers of smses are as they were before - 65 here, 240 there etc.
Is there any way I can cause a refresh of the conversation list so that the conversations there actually reflect the sms content of the phone?
By the way - clicking conversation folders takes me to the message list for this particular contact, but the smses are not there (obiously since they were deleted).
Hope somebody can help with this... I haven't found anything while googleing, have rebooted the phone since then also - nothing helps :/

Bumping this thread to maybe get some reply... nobody with this problem and a solution? Seriously?....
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 =)
I recently reset my DHD to factory settings, due to an SMS error, (messages wouldnt send, would send multiple times) and before doing so i backed up my SMS using 'Backup to Gmail' (the pay one, cause it was important to me that it worked properly, which it did)
Upon complete system reset, by about 2 hours later, ALL of my texts had re-appeared, (had logged into exchange server for gmail, google for contacts / calander and facebook/twitter ONLY) i had not even signed in to 'Backup to Gmail' and DEFO had not restored any messages.
Ever since, my texts have been multiplying, so automatically the old messages are duplicating themselves growing from what started as 100/150 to most recently about 2,780 (for the same contact) when max 10/20 new messages were actually sent.
It is so odd, i can open the message application (stock HTC one) and just watch the numbers increasing!?
I have since unsynced and uninstalled backup to gmail app, but i can still clearly see that the numbers of messages are increasing.
SO:
1) Where / what service backs up all text messages? If any?
2) How on earth do i stop it? I can happily reset again, but i think it will do the same unless i can work out how it is doing it? i.e. where they are being restored from?
I would really appreciate any help or suggestions anyone can give...
Thank you so much in advance... hopefully i can fix it before my messages multiply sooo much that it just fills the full memory???
