>From a few months after getting my Droid until today I have had issues with the messaging app on it. One day it randomly deleted all of my texts, a good thousand or so, including locked ones. This still happens, sporadically and with no apparent cause. It can happen while sending a text, after receiving a text, or even at night for me to pleasantly wake up to. Usually there is no error message or anything about messaging not responding, but literally a few minutes ago after sending a text Messaging force closed and deleted all my messages. At this point I have redundant backup applications (SMS backup and restore, SMSBox, MyBackup Pro) to safeguard my texts, but it's not perfect, and shouldn't even be needed.
I had hoped this would be repaired with the 2.1 update, as there have been at least two issues filed about this (http://code.google.com/p/ android/issues/detail?id=5669 and http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5133) referring to 2.0, but alas, the day my phone updated it deleted all of my texts yet again. I have my message limit set to 200 texts, and delete old texts enabled (which I originally thought may be the culprit, but then realized that just deletes the oldest texts as new ones come in once the limit is reached.) I love my Droid like a sibling, but I just don't understand why this issue hasn't been addressed, it's certainly a fairly large and important one. I'm beginning to wonder if its the fault of the ROMs Motorolla are releasing, as I haven't seen any other android devices having this issue. Rooting and installing a third party ROM seems more and more likely each day. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
