I've searched all over these forums and i can't seem to find either anyone with the same problem or a fix. My Text messages tab, as well as any app that pulls in text messages, only shows old texts starting from about 2 months ago and going back. I can still access all new texts through the actual email/sms app on my phone, but any apps i go to install can't read any new texts. I have a touch pro 2 on verizon running Mightyrom Love.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

I've been searching the forums for the past hour but can't find anything with a similar problem so I thought it was worth asking here.
I have somebody who i send a lot of sms messages back and forth to and twice now, suddenly my phone says I have no messages before the last one i just sent to them or received from them. If I look in sent items, all my sent messages show and if I turn off threaded sms then all received ones show in my inbox. I have no idea why they claim to not exist when threading is turned on again. Even deleting some messages doesn't make the older sms' show again in threaded. Any ideas?
I am using an Xperia X1 with stock WM 6.1 on the v2 rom. I had the problem on the v1 rom also.
Any ideas anyone?
Hi, just wondering if there is a way to get the time and date to show when reading old threaded text messages. The time shows for newer messages of that same day, while older messages only show the date. Any suggestions? Thanks!
BTT...I am in search of a solution to this as well. I occasionally need to go back and see what time I sent or received a text, and it is frustrating to see nothing but the date on older texts.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
For the past while, my Sprint Touch Pro has lagged and sometimes even locked up, when I bring up the text messaging tab after receiving an MMS message. I ignored it, as I really don't receive them that often. However, this last time I got one, and I was able to open it without my phone locking up. I viewed the picture, closed the sprint MMS app, and watched as the phone erased all 1800+ regular SMS text's before my eyes. I checked the deleted items folder, and only things I manually deleted are there, my sent items folder is still full, and all my old MMS messages still show up in the inbox. After coping with the fact that my years worth of texts was gone (Sprite Backup wasn't doing it's job right), I went on with my day. Turns out, whenever I get a couple texts, if I get an MMS, they're all erased. Or hidden. Or something else really annoying..
Anyone had a similar problem? I'm getting ready to install Arcsoft, but want to make sure my old texts aren't just locked up somewhere before I remove the default app.
xhorntail, the same issue is affecting a few of us using the NRG rom: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=69545&page=2217. Not sure what's causing it or how to make it stop though. MMS is built into this ROM so i cant even stop it.
I am very new to Android coming from Palm Pre and I purchased Droid Pro and activated it with Page Plus everything seems to work fine except I can't receive or can't send any plain text messages any kind. I haven't been able to receive or send any ever since I got this activated. I have tried everything I could.
I did activation multiple times and still no luck! I am very frustrated at this point and don't know what to do. I really love this phone and it works great including web data, calls but the stupid text messages will not work at all.
As soon as I send a text message I get an instant error message saying text message not sent and it does that for every message. This is just driving me insane since I text more than I talk.
I am getting close to my last resort is the reset this phone to factory which I don't know how to do. My brother uses Droid 2 Global and Fascinate on Page Plus Wireless with no problems. I tried calling multiple sources and no one is willing to help me.
Please help me if you can.
Anybody here know what I can do? I am so frustrated. I know I am missing text messages right now. I hate to go back to Palm... and this is the only Android phone from Verizon that I like so far. I love the keyboard but without being able to send or receive text messages this thing would be worthless for me. I text more than I talk.
This are just random guesses, but i thought i would try:
- wrong sms format (UTF-8?)
- wrong number/address for sms central in settings?
Fixed!!!
After days of fighting with it I got it figured out by process of elimination. For Page Plus Wireless under "Wireless & Network Settings" > "Mobile Networks" > "Network Mode" - needs to be set to "GLOBAL" and not "CDMA" like I thought and after this all my text messages are working properly.
This may be useful to someone later on.
Now if I can get rid of all the bloatware that this Droid Pro came with without rooting I would be very excited. I love this phone so far even though I am missing the true multi-tasking but I am sure I will get used to. I am already getting used to Android and it's only been a few days
Root it and change build.prop
change in system/build.prop
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc = 0
This will solve sms problems

Might be a slow work day, so I'm hoping I can get rid of some the little bugs that have been bothering me....
1. Sometimes I will receive the same text message multiple times, up to about 10 but it's usually only one or two duplicates. This can happen over a period of about 20 minutes.
2. Messages get delivered several hours later or only after a reboot. There is not usually any indication that the sms failed to deliver. I sent a text yesterday to my brother, and it seemed to go out fine with no error message. After rebooting my phone today, I shortly thereafter received a confused text asking what I was talking about. The text I thought I had sent yesterday now appeared in our conversation with a timestamp of when I restarted my phone.
3. The stock messaging app doesn't give me any notifications at all. Obviously, that's not acceptable, so I'm stuck using a 3rd party sms app (handcent). Don't know if this is related, but I use Google Voice for my voicemail and that also doesn't give me notifications (have my voicemails sent to my gmail account as a workaround on that). If I open the apps my voicemails and texts are there, just no notification from the phone.
I know at least the first two issues could be an issue with the carrier (at&t), but I had none of these problems with an iphone prior to switching or when using the mediocre AT&T Messages app on this phone.
I was hoping these problems would magically disappear after rooting and installing a new ROM (viperXL), but that hasn't been the case.
Thanks for any help!
