Messages automatically deleted on Desire HD

    So i have a HTC Desire HD running on 2.2, all up to date.

    My phone occasionally deletes ALL my texts bar ones saved to my sim.

    I've done the obvious and gone into settings, and have "delete old messages" unchecked but it keeps happening.

    Why is this?

    How do i make it stop?


    Thanks.

    Known issue..unfortunately:eek:...

    happened to me and a few others here too...

    Haven't heard of a solution yet but maybe I just haven't come across it...

    Lost all my messages yesterday on my HDH - annoying :mad: how do you back up texts on the phone?

    You can backup your txts with SMS Backup+.

    Yeah happened once to me. Very strange.

    I back them up once a week using SMS Backup & Restore (saves them to an XML file on my SD card and creates a new backup each time)

    I installed that SMS Backup+ - it seems to backup all texts into my gmail account, which is handy. I set it up to backup texts once a day when I am connected to wifi ;)

    there are quite a few DHD's floating around on adverts.ie that have been used for a short period of time. do ye think it could be because they're riddled with known issues and people want to flog em?

    im asking cause ive just bought one, and it (hopefully) is arriving tomorrow. :(

    Is there any fix for this yet.... all messages deleted this morning.


  • Registered Users Posts: 55,431 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Nope, still an issue. The SQLLite database is becoming corrupt, and is being blanked to recover it. Its not a DHD issue, its an android issue and is happening on a lot of different phone models.

    Happened to me a while ago, very annoying at the time. I didn't realise sql lite had that problem, must look into it - I work with sql a bit so my curiosity is getting the better of me...

    Not happening for me, had my DHD since they came out, know some lads in my class have it and I haven't heard mention of this... although we all use handcent rather then the main texting app? maybe changing to that will help??

    And happened to me this morning too. Just came on to post about it. Grrr...

    All my messaged deleted on my DHD this morning. This is the 2nd time this happened.
    1st time the message app hung and when I forced it to close all my messages deleted.
    This time I woke up to be greeted with the initial screen looking for PIN. Phone was on charge so I knew something was up. Once I entered the PIN I checked my messages fearing the worst and rightly so....
    Really annoyed with this!!!

    This happened to me yesterday. Received a message then the message app crashed and I had to click force close. When I opened it again, all my texts had been deleted :mad:

    Anyone know if the issue is fixed in Gingerbread?

    Anyone know if the issue is fixed in Gingerbread?

    Wondering this myself, it's happened once to me. That said the real issue I have atm and have had for months is the text notification bug. Every 3rd message or so I wont get a notification for it and i'll only see it when i look at my messages.

    my hd has never deleted my messages

    running 2.3.3

    fyi ( phones ( hardware ) don't randomly delete messages ), software does,
    I suggest ye upgrade your phones
