SMS Disappeared - General Topics

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!

this happens to me also
but thats when its not THREADED
when i have THREADED sms's they dont disappear

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?

SMS Delete!

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?

ok! tried posting

this is copy of my post in the "question" thread. noone replied and it is a serious problem. i am sure i am not the only one also.
Hi i'm using EnergyROM 'Phoenix 2' (21877) ★|Nov 27|Manila 2.1
But! with every single ROM including stock ATT Fuze ROM i had this issue, and finally i cant take it anymore. Also i had phone replaced 2 times ( physical damage). So its not hardware issue or ROM, its Windows Mobile seems like... How can I fix it?
While in regular windows threaded sms application, finishing up conversation and hitting 'x' to go back to all messages view will cause a phone to freeze for up to 4 minutes, 9 times out of 10. It will freeze up the phone. The only solution, if i dont want to wait, is to hold answer button to open task manager and kill the sms process.
it is extremely aggravating, i think you can see that in my post.... Please does anyone have a solution? i tried searching
Ok... i might be completely wrong on this (i hate threaded sms, so turn it off!) but i've read before that the sms app can take some time to process the threading. This was noted & commented on after restoring a backup, not in general use. If you have lots of messages, it might be worth simply allowing the sms app to do its thing for 20 mins when you're not trying to use anything, and seeing if it makes any difference.
If not, sorry - i'm out of ideas.

Phone dropped... contacts appear gone...

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.

[Q] SMS MSG Question

Some times when Im viewing Text messages, they dont appear in order properly, Like I will send a text and it will be higher up and one I received before, as if I sent it before that, which clearly I didnt as it was a reply.
and when I restart my phone sometimes it will send a random text message that I sent ages ago to the last person I was texting which can confuse the other person.
anyone have these issues?
yeah i know what you are refferring to....download sms time fix from the market, enable it, and under adjustment method choose use phone's time
it use to happen to me all the time, still Happens to my wife all the time(she has mytouch 4g). the only time it happens to me or her is when we use third party SMS apps never on stock sms
Text out of order:
1-Do you have a third party sms app? ie: gosms pro, handcent?
It use to happen to me all the time but ever since I started keeping up with the amount of text in a single thread the problem does not happen any more what so ever. For example: text between me and my wife I don't let pass 150 text. Anyone else that I might speak to on a somewhat regular bases I don't let pass 30 and people I text once an a blue moon I erase a couple hours later after I'm done texting them. It does sound like a little work to keep up with but better to do it then scramble your **** up (at least for me). My wife never keeps up with her text like I do and like every 2 to 3 weeks it's starts glitching and doing all that you have said. It got so bad one time that she had to fully uninstall gosms pro them restart her phone cause stock was force closing.
2- to fix it just delete all threads and clear app cache and app settings, you do this by going to phone settings/applications/find app then clear all. If it still does not work then your going to have to uninstall your SMS client (which can be a ***** cause you tricked it out to your liking)
Old text resending after power cycle:
1- I ****ing hate when this happens. It usually happens to an old text that had problems sending and ether never sends and you leave it alone and/or after a minute the app tried again and it sends successfully. But still resends after power cycle.
2- the only way I have seen this problem not happen to much is if you just try to resend the text your self and/ or erase it from your text thread.
You don't have a third party SMS client and are using stock and experiencing these issues:
1- **** out of luck, can't help you there lol. Never happened to me. Suggest you restart your phone and/or clear cache and SMS settings
I hope you or anyone else can find this helpful. Thanks for reading at the very least

Agreed with the sms time fix. However, it doesn't always fix it... Still a pain once in a while. For what it's worth, I've always had this issue with HTC phones. For some reason, the timestamps just suck and for that reason among other reasons, HTC won't be my next phone. I somehow grew to love sense though
Never had the issue with my galaxy s, it doesnt normally do it often, but today its done it pretty much every text. hopefully this fixes it, do love my XE

Check your time settings..
I once had this kind of problem where all of my text (sent and received) does not appear at the bottom of the thread (where they should be). After some troubleshooting (restarting, re-installation of Go-SMS etc), problem was still existed. When I examining my phone, I found out that my time was reset back to 1970's and I remember that day that I detach my battery to my handset thus the time went back to the Jan 1 1970. So I revert the back the date to the current and my posting of message is back to normal.

Keeps giving me old notifications

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
