Deleting Messages...

I have been using my N1 for a couple of weeks now, and three times now it has deleted all my SMS messages with no warning. The "Delete old messages" box is not ticked, so I'm not sure why it's deleting them.

I am one of those rather anal people who likes to keep every message that I send or receive, but I've been heammorrhaging messages because I never know when to backup before losing them :(

Thanks in advance for any input.

[Nexus One General] Solaris81:
All SMS randomly deleting

Has anyone else experienced this bug. This has happened to me twice now, it seems to be a very serious bug with either the nexus one or it's current build of android. I've read of a similar thing happening to someone in this forum and there were a few replies saying things like who needs texts anyway or acting like it isn't very important. This is very important to me as i don't like things disappearing from my phone unless i choose to delete them.

Just to clear things up I've made 100% sure to untick auto delete texts and have the maximum allowed texts per thread set to 4000 just in case.

Still twice in the past couple of weeks since owning this phone all the texts have just randomly disappeared. No error messages, no crashes, just zero texts.

Has anyone else experienced this yet, or is there a workaround or fix that i haven't heard of?

Any help will be appreciated.
[Nexus One General] tamarian:
Haven't had this happen yet, had my N1 for 9 days so far.

Until you get this sorted out, I suggest you install SMS Backup from the market, and set it to auto backup to GMail.
[Nexus One General] willis2483:
this happened to me twice while i was using the default messaging app, then i switched to handcent sms and it hasnt happened since.
[Nexus One General] timothydonohue:
there are already 2 threads about this, no need for another one.
[Nexus One General] Solaris81:
The first time it happened to me i was using Handcent SMS, i assumed apparently wrongly that it was a bug with this application that caused it. But then it's happened again using the default SMS app.
[Nexus One General] willis2483:
there is a "delete all threads" option in the menu...maybe it got hit on accident somehow?
[Nexus One General] Solaris81:
Like i said in my original post i made sure to untick the option to delete texts. This happened 100% randomly.
[Nexus One General] :
Set the maximum back to something sane default of 200, and see if it keeps happening.

Do the other packrats set that value to 4000 as well? Could have something to do with it.
[Nexus One General] Solaris81:
An interesting theory but the reason i set it to 4000 initially was because of the first time i lost all my texts. It was then set to the default number although greyed out because i had not selected auto delete texts.

A question about SMS backup which auto backs up texts to your Gmail account? Has anyone noticed a significant increase in battery consumption since using this program?
[Nexus One General] midnite23:
Grrr!! I thought it had maybe been fixed as it hadn't happened all month, but randomly it happened again a few minutes ago. I'm just glad I have SMS backup installed now. I find it odd that when they did get deleted I checked my gmail backup and saw i had a new message that had came right before they got deleted. So close to the time in fact that I didn't even know I had received the text and wouldn't have had I not check Gmail. So I'm wondering if somehow that text triggered the mass deletion?
[Nexus One General] andythefan:
Happened to be quite recently as well...

I had texts that went back to around when I first got my Nexus :(

I'm using ChompSMS on stock.
[Nexus One General] niiiick:
this is kind of a serious bug to me.

luckily i had backed up my jan 13th mmssms.db and app_parts onto my desktop when doing an upgrade. last sunday, boom. my texts deleted. i checked it out and the mmssms.db had been deleted from my phone somehow.

slightly upset that i lost a month's worth of texts, i restored the mmssms.db that i had saved. now, two days later, erased again. no idea why, but the fact that the first time it was a month after the backup, and the second time two days after the backup was restored implies that it's not an issue with the size of the database.

do we know what's going on yet?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
You guys should post a out this ob Google's support forum..they may be unaware of the issue or just think it's isolated.
[Nexus One General] MasterBunnyFu:
Seconding G-Backup. Never worry about it again.
[Nexus One General] deprecate:
I used to care about my texts but my g1 used to get bogged down quite a bit when contacts had 1500+ messages each.

Now my texts vanish each time I flash a new rom...I care about my email, my contacts and the apps/info on my sd card..beyond that, retaining information is just a bonus :)
[Nexus One General] Diceman4:
You guys should really set up a text to gmail account and throw them up in the cloud if it really bothers you that much. Even backing them up on the SDCARD is risky since flash media does have a shelf life (especially if you are using it as swap space).

I swear if I had to sift through 1k "What bar are we going to tonight" messages I would shoot someone. I can see no reason to save a year's worth of messages.
[Nexus One General] nathanzachary:
I have experienced this problem for the second time tonight. It is REALLY obnoxious, and it seems that it is not just limited to the N1 or Android 2.1. There is an open issue about it here:

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5669

Issue #: 5669
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Hey,

My defective N1's part number is 99HKE002-00.

The replacement I got today is 99HKE002-01. I'm wondering if it indicates a revision to fix the dust issue on our screens.

For anyone that got a replacement N1, what's your P/N? It's on the label under the battery.
[Nexus One General] Mi|enko:
Mine, bought on Jan 6th and received on Jan 7th, is 99HKE002-00.
[Nexus One General] rookie1082:
The one i bought on Jan 5th was PN 00. My replacement that i received yesterday was PN 01. Definitely NOT a handset that had the fixed screen/dust issue, as my 01 PN phone had it worse than my 00 phone.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Interesting... mine was flawless. Wonder what the difference is then..

[Nexus One General] mgymnop:
Do you guys still have any problems with your phones with respect to 3G or touchscreen issues. I am hesitating to get an exchange with the same problems.
[Nexus One General] Hitorii:
I just got mine replaced, its a 001 as well. I cant see any noticeable changes at all.
[Nexus One General] dcplaya:
My replacement was a -01 but the haptic feedback didnt work and the screen clicked more than the original one!
[Nexus One General] jhitch12:
My replacement is an 01 but was also worse than my original phone too (00). I had dust in the replacement upon arrival and the screen clicking is way worse. Also on my replacement phone the volume down button sticks. Having another replacement sent to me asap.
[Nexus One General] rookie1082:
This. And like jhitch12, my down button sticks as well.

I guess on the 01 models the difference is that they half-assed the build quality.

I have been trying for three days to download Barcode Scanner from the market.

I have tried searching by title and proper package name (com.google.zxing.client.android) and various different links to it on sites.

Is anyone else having this issue? Would someone mind trying to search for it to see if it's just me?

Thanks in advance.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wtphoto:
I had the same issue, just go to zxing's site and download it there and just push it to your phone.

Ya it is showing for me.

If you tried a 2.0 or 2.1 rom this may be your problem:

Hi everyone,

I am a new member here but I have long browsed and admired this forum and I am thankful to now be a part of it! I have a question....I am a Verizon Wireless customer and I purchased an HTC Vogue (xv6900) from Alltel and I wanted to activate it on my line. When I went to do so I was told by 3 separate reps that it could not be done because I was a Verizon plan and only Alltel phones could be on Alltel. They said this is because they are trying to get everyone off of Alltel devices. Is there any way I can flash this phone or hack it so that Verizon will activate it on my account?

Thanks so much!
[Touch CDMA General] Fa310tx:
I was a previous alltel customer that was merged into verizon. I have an alltel vogue. Using the official alltel rom, I'm able to do everything except gps (I could do gps until a week or so ago).

If you were a verizon customer from the start, it may not work the same.

What brand did you get? SanDisk, Transcend, A-Data?

its a transcend 4GB microSDHC card got it off amazon for 10 bucks.
[G1 General] :
help?

can someone please post a link to the 8gb class 6 sandisk? I can only find class 4!
[G1 General] legend221:
Thanks XDAers, I just remembered I bought a 4GB Class 6 hardly used microSD about a year ago and I had it in my laptop. I guess I did good and scored it new for $7.99, LOL. Looks like I can finally move up from from the subpar Sandisk the G1 came with.

I'm going to keep the wipe/flash life going until a suitable replacement comes out... maybe the Nexus Two?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Duron23:
Its already available in 23518 build.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramdroid77:
from why I heard there's nothing new in Office 2010 except they updated the version name. I also heard there will be a "slighly" updated version coming for WM 7 but no clue if it will also be available for current OS. Maybe it will feel more along the line like the current desktop Office.
[Touch GSM General] hawkiechang:
hello, I am a new here. and my Elf got a serious problem, I don't know what to do. About 5 days before, my elf fall into water, and I send it to repair. When I got it back, the repairman said your software maybe broke, so he advice me to flash the phone again, and I never done it before. so I try it myself today. now, this phone cannot boot the system, it enter a page tell you startup failed cause suddenly loss power and let me press ok to continue, but when i press ok, it turn off automaticlly.

There is some imformation below:

my CID is not cracked yet.

IPL:2.24.0002

SPL:2.24.0000

I can enter bootloader and connect to USB

I make a goldencard already and it's seems working, mtty shows:

Unlimited time!

g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0

I tried so many different roms and they are all stop flashing at 2%

So, now I don't know what should or can I do?

plzzzzz, i don't have spare mobile to use, thx a lot for help.
[Touch GSM General] hawkiechang:
I am sorry something forgot to post

Device ID : ELF010052

CID : DOPOD601

I can't find my rom in here so I try goldencard and try to match the Device ID and also doesn't work.
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Hi

First go to the stickies and find how to Cid unlock, then you can flash any rom, provided there's no physical damage to the device.

Good luck:)

[XPERIA X1 General] WDM:
Hello everyone,

this is not a joke. Based on statements made by Sony Ericsson Employees to questions as to when the x2 will be launched, this is what the SE Staff in Germany had to say (translation below):

Bitte haben Sie einen Moment Geduld, Ihr Kundenberater ist gleich für Sie da...

(Transl.: Please be patient, your customer care rep will be available for you soon)

Sie wurden mit **** verbunden.

(Transl.: You have been connected with ****)

****: Hallo und danke, dass Sie den Sony Ericsson Chat Support nutzen. Mein Name ist ****. Einen Moment bitte, ich lese eben Ihre Frage.

(Transl.: Hello and thankyou for using the Sony Ericsson Chat Support. My name is ****. One moment please, I am reading your question)

*** Note my question was: When exactly will the x2 be released this Month (January)?

****: Aufgrund der Möglichkeit einer weiteren Optimierung haben wir uns entschlossen, das Xperia X2 noch nicht auf den Markt DACHNL zu bringen. Der Launch wird voraussichtlich im April erfolgen. Demgemäß wird auch der Kundenservice erst zu dem Zeitpunkt verfügbar sein.

(Transl.: Due to the possibility of further optimization, we have decided not to launch the x2 in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands. The launch date has been tentatively set in April. Therefore, Customer Care Support will only be available for this product at that time).

I am at a loss for words.......................................................................................

Admin edit: I removed the name from the SE Rep. after such a request from SE.
[XPERIA X1 General] nitrate:
First of all, this sucks. They didn't release it for Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands yet? Wow.

I also haven't seen the X2 in any german shops yet. I thought they would release it this month? I can't believe that this is happening. As far as i know, the X2 is almost released in many other countries. They should release it here, too and make any optimizations to the ROM afterwards. I'd suggest instead of everybody who wanted to buy a X2, to grab a HTC HD2. Maybe we could teach Sony Ericsson a lesson then.

Anyway, this is why i did buy myself a HTC HD2 and i didn't regret it.
[XPERIA X1 General] sx1-doc:
its a shame

first of all i live in germany and the se x2 is way too late(untill its released i would get a real device) ,

what i mean it a joke that this device still gotta be release with the msm7200A shipset ,i mean the weak low end devices run 72257 shipset (its bit better then the 7200A old shipset) and the X2 will cost more then a device with snapdragon... doesnt make sence !!!.

i dont see any sense with SE releasing the X2 without Rework of the headset(or the device with fail badly)

SE please Look at LG Expo,Toshiba TK1 and so on ...and learn

its sad to say that i am happy X1 user that gonna upgrade to a snapdragon device with WM,and it look bad for SE cause they didnt make it .

update:

it look like SE will Release X2 in germany with Wm 6.5.3 out of box,that why they are delaying the crap phone.
[XPERIA X1 General] anothadave:
im pretty sure theyre not delaying it on purpose. to piss people off! lol. theyre not releasing it because its not ready. whats better, to release a phone that doesnt work properly and then have lots of recalls, bad press and unhappy customers or wait until the phone is ready? ive imported an x2 and while i do like it i will be one of the first to say that its not a finished product. im happy to use it as it is because i have access to sites like xda developers and i can tweak any problems i encounter. but a regular person who just buys a phone and expects it to work will be dissappointed. if youre genuinely interested in one then theres plenty on ebay and online. its very easy to get one.
[XPERIA X1 General] mbernstein:
It seems the shall be releasing it with WM 6.5.3 as said above. Which in a way is good, isn't it?
[XPERIA X1 General] Go1den3ye:
Sux dude, we in Norway have allready got it
[XPERIA X1 General] rohorubo:
you can get the x2 more or less all over the world except the ones with qwertz. so for me it seems that they have problems with qwertz-hardware.

i mean, the problem cannot be the firmware...this one you can update.
[XPERIA X1 General] F-Styla:
Guys, you want the phone now? I found it on ebay, but it is way to expensive, snap dragon phones are cheaper...the phone will be a flop with this price.

Here you go: http://cgi.ebay.de/BRAND-NEW-SONY-E...ZViewItemQQptZCell_Phones?hash=item45f086797e

One question. Since the phone has the same hardware as x1 (or nearly), will it be possbile to flash x1 roms on x2?
[XPERIA X1 General] caliban2:
@flop: /signed. dunno what they're thinking.

@x1-roms: i don't think so, because it's just nearly the same hardware (keyb, cam, display) and it's not made by htc, so there are some differences in driver-architecture etc.
[XPERIA X1 General] QuadWord:
this is really sad. against all negativity here i was about to get one because i wanted to develop flash-panels for it.

native flash and also the support for project capuchin was one of the few advantages of the x2 (in my opinion).

now there is really absolutely no point for me to get an x2. i guess i will switch my developer efforts either to android or maybe even to the iphone (after flash cs5 is released).

the last chance for SE to sell me a phone ever again would be the x10. but after the delays on nearly every smartphone model they will probably screw-up on this one too.

Posted it for you:

Let's see if I can get engadget to pick it up!
[XPERIA X1 General] mbernstein:
Have you gotten directly from Sony, or from independent retailers?
[XPERIA X1 General] kariimb:
it's a shame !

Customers , you can forget Xperia X2 , it's a stillborn product !
[XPERIA X1 General] Rudegar:
well apart from software I never really saw x2 as an upgrade
[XPERIA X1 General] anothadave:
trust me...its an upgrade! ignoring the upgraded software the quality of the build is way better than the X1. i really liked the X1 and wanted it to succeed badly but the shoddy workmanship always dissapointed me - the keypad that lasted a couple months before becoming unusable, the cracks appearing, the paint peeling off the cover, the battery that doubled as a hand warmer... even the screen felt a bit lose once i slid it open.

the x2 is very solid, the curved edges make it feel thinner and more comfortable to hold. the screen slides out nice and tight, no wobbles. the keyboard also feels more solid and has a nice reassuring slight click when a key is pressed. i cant vouch for long term reliability but im confident it should last. so far no temperature increase from the battery (although it still drains just as fast)

the x2 is the phone sony should of released 18months ago.. but just like the X1 when it first came out the X2 needs another firmware release to fix some annoying bugs. when it works it works really well -fast too... but when a bug rears its ugly head its a right pain in the ass! lol. if delaying the official release until april means that it gets fixed then it will be worth the wait.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
I get it probably next month.....
[XPERIA X1 General] Concentrate:
that's what they said when the delayed the x1, but it didn't work properly either (cracks in case, sluggish, ...)
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
My instinct is that there will be some monstrous phones coming out in the next 3-4 months from HTC, Motorola, Samsung, and LG (okay, and apple). The smartphone business is undergoing an accelerated transformation from a fairly niche market to a gigantic industry, and the above companies are competing to be top dog. They all want to have the headliner phones and geeks like me will be rewarded. I just can't reward SE for their sloppy implementations. Their strategy was to have the top phones on all the platforms: WM, S60, and Android. But they obviously diluted their focus. The X1, X2, and Satio have fallen short of expectations. We'll see about the X10.
[XPERIA X1 General] anothadave:
yeh true, i think they gave up in the end and just released the X1. would of been too costly to completely redesign the keyboards and cases. kind of what theyve done with the X2 in some territorys, its definately better made but just as buggy as the X1 was when it was first released. sometimes i think sony aim too high with their stuff. they have fancy ideas but can never seem to get everything to work as intended. the p800, p900, p990 where exactly the same. i remember the p990 was delayed at least a year. and was still buggy as fck when it first came out. then took 6months to get it to a reasonable standard. still wasnt 100% even after 3 firmware upgrades. the p1i was good though. they learned from their previous mistakes and finally released the phone they intended. one of the best phones ive had. most likely it will be the 4th or 5th xperia phone before they get it right. X10 looks promising but its their first android phone. no doubt theyll **** that one up too somehow.lol .
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
I've used all of them and definitely X1 is much better device than P1

in almost every aspect......

I also disagree regarding P910 - it was one of their best products ever.
