After several attempts, I have realized that when an SMS viewed from the TF3D tab and deleted using the screen option, it just gets deleted without being stored in the "Trash Folder", where as if the same SMS was viewed using the SMS box -the old way- and thereafter deleted, it goes to the Trash folder.
Funny ain't it? I lost many of such SMS and tried to retreive'em hopelessly...
Follow up
Anyone had a time to look into this issue?

I'm using the HTC Diamond. But I thought I'll put this in the General problem as this might not only apply to the TD.
Today I received an sms and I couldn't get into the message to read it, so I decided to turn off my phone, and turn it back on again – I did the soft reset (pressing the power button on the top of the phone and not the instant soft reset button). I have done this before and it worked after that.
However, after I turned on the phone again today, the smses I received and sent since 23/07/2009 have disappeared.
I also checked the most recent call history and it's there – so it's not as if the phone decided to backdate itself.
Has this happened to anyone else? I would like to retrieve those missing smses (at least the ones I received) if I could. Is there a particular directory that the phone stores these smses?
Help would be much appreciated!

Mine aren't threaded either.
I can understand if it decided to delete today's or even yesterday's messages, since it takes a while for the messages to be saved onto the rom.
But I can't figure out why it deleted messages up to 2 weeks ago.
And did you have any way to retrieve the missing smses?
Hi all,
Just set up an account here as I've had a problem with my XDA Orbit 2. It was knocked out of my hand the other day (not the first time it's been dropped though) and when I picked it up, it appeared to be restarting, so I thought nothing of it (thought perhaps the battery had come loose or something).
After a few minutes, I had a look at it and realised it had reset itself to the factory settings. So I go through that process and after it goes through that whole process, when I got to the today screen, I did a quick scan and found that all my messages and emails were still there (and the settings too), all the files and pictures I had on the phone were present... the only things that appear to have been affected are my contacts list and calendar details (birthdays, appointments etc). These are simply gone!
I went to Settings --> Menu and noticed that some of the menu items I could select were doubled (I have, for example "Calendar" and "Calendar (1)", "Phone" and "Phone (1)" and "Contacts" and "Contacts (1)". Long story short... I managed to open these (contacts in particular), but there's no informtion there at all. I also had a look at the PIM.VOL file (it was about 350kb) and extracted all the subfiles, but the contacts file was empty (0 records). So the question is: are my contacts actually gone? I'm hoping not, seeing as everything else is still on the phone, but I know this isn't a guarantee...
Sorry for the long message, but hopefully someone can give me an idea of what to do. If anything!
Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
I just recently got a Samsung Focus Flash after my old Focus died. I unlocked it and everything, got it all setup and whatnot back to where my Focus was. The only issue I'm experiencing is that when I go to delete an email in the thread view, unread, it either lags (the email stays on the screen in the list of emails, highlighted as if unread) or it doesn't delete and I have to try deleting it at least once, maybe two more times before it finally disappears... Thoughts?
On my original Focus, when I deleted an email it would disappear from the list immediately. I want this back!
Thanks!
anybody know how I can flush all my text messages? The "delete all threads" is not responding. I typically use SMS Backup and when I did a restore forgot to set the message limit and now it reloaded about 7000 texts back to 2011.... i cannot get messaging to load unless i reboot and i have one chance to get messages to load. then it just says "loading messages" if i leave and come back in.
I've tried going into settings->applications->messaging and clearing data/cache but all that does it adjust the settings... i need to completely dump the data/app and start fresh
Ideas??
Go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and delete mmssms.db. To clear old pictures from MMS, delete the app_parts DG folder too.

This problem with my fit2 pro seem to have come out of nothing, as it worked fine the first weeks. The problem is, I get this little yellow dot, I swipe right to check the message, but often I find that it is an old message. I scroll to the buttom and clear all messages. After a short while, many of the deleted messages has returned. It does give me new messages, too, but many times it gives me old messages, even those I have already deleted. What is happening and what should I do?
Thanks
