Help Raging mad at my droid!!!!

[Pacman]

This happened to me too.

Its happened 4 times. twice in the same week. IDK where to look for "third party" apps, i'm new to the Android sys, so idk if ALL APPs are 3rd party or what.

Some guidance would be AWESOME!

Thanks!

Mine does this about 3x a week I'd say. I don't remember the exact error message, but it says something about ".rom.messenger experienced an error, must force close" then it closes. Ill open it back up, same thing until I restart my phone. Its pretty annoying.

Hey I have been having the same problem with my Droid but it happens about once a month and it deletes my Contacts(thank god they are backed up by google), recent call history, and all messages. What I wound up doing was calling verizon and getting tech support (I know, hard to admit but I thought I might as well try). While talking to some redneck call center guy (would have preferred someone in India who is nice). After telling me I had to reset the phone(which I was on and already tried multiple times) he told me to do a "hard reset" and reset it to factory default... ironically I was on the phone. After a small argument he told me that if I do that with him on the phone, and it keeps happening, I can get a phone replacement because of the warranty.

Long story short, no one seems to have a fix but if you complain to Verizon they claim to be willing to give you a new phone that "should" be working.

It was happening to me with frustrating frequency. I installed the Handcent SMS app and while it still give me force closes and dumps all stored messages it's not nearly as frequent. We probably won't see a fix until something's updated in the OS.

This just happened to me too! I was having a conversation with like 6 people and now all the messages are gone. Even ones from like 2 weeks ago. Wooow this is frustrating

Ditto. I lost all of my texts last night. It just wiped the whole effing thing, all 40-ish of my threads. Doubt it has anything to do with autodelete, because I'd never even seen that feature (until I went poking around trying to figure out where all my conversations were). No out-of-the-ordinary apps, either (or anything like Handcent).

I know it's just text messages, but I feel like I got punched in the stomach.

Does anyone know if other phone users with the Android OS are having the same issue or is it limited to the Motorola Droid?

Ive experienced the message purge twice over the last month.

This has happened to me and several of my buddies. I've actually had this happen about 8 times. My good friend has had it a few more. Any ideas yet on how to solve this?

This just happened to me for the first time today.
Only thing I noticed out of the ordinary was right before I hooked it up to charge last night I checked Facebook. When I tried to open my profile or check notifications I received an error message that stated data could not be retrieved. didn't pay much attention to that and went ahead and charged it.
This morning I noticed my message notification was blinking and thought I had a new message. I had one single solitary text, but it wasn't a new text. It was a text I had received and read about 3 hrs before I set it to charge last night.
Very irritating.

I downloaded several games on Monday, and 2 NPR apps yesterday morning. Think I'll get rid of the NPR apps for a start.
