handcent problem

[vaccdroid]

I love handcent but got an issue. Text are disapearing from handcent. I recieve them and I see them in handcent but a few hours later its gone from handcent ( shows the last text as text from like a month ago) just started happening 2 weks ago. I tried removing handcent and re-installing. Even tried an older version. still happens. I can see the lastest text in the list of text BUT when I open that persons text its not there. And its all in the Stock Text app. Anyone have a clue.

I haven't used Handcent in forever. What device? Have you tried emailing the dev? Are you rooted? If so what rom?

Using an EVO. I will sen them a email. I went to the forum for there app and no responses to people there. I am not rooted.

Hmmm...that's odd. Did you try wiping?

Whats wiping?

Factory data reset.

Do not do factory reset yet!

1. Go into stock Messaging app and make sur ethat the option to delete old messages isis not checked (Messagin>Menu>settings>Delete old messages).

2. In Handcent go to Settings>Custom Style>Bubble Settings>Others (bottom of the list) and make sure the option to 'Show Earlier Button is not checked.

Both of those are now unchecked but still messages are disapearing. I downloaed chompsms and it fine in that . Also fine in the stock sms app. so its an issues I am having with handcent. Oh well maybe I will just move to chomp. almost as good as handcent. Thanks for the help.

Interesting. I use handcent. Have around 1200+ texts from the GF on my Droid 1 w/2.2 Just sorta seeing how far it goes. Or if it slows the phone or app down. Haven't lost any that I know of.

It just happened . Been a user of handcent for months. I think I did hit the remove delete old messages box a few days before this happened. but I changed it and checked the box a few days later. I uninstalled handcent, installed a version from months ago. Sadly a factory wipe is probally all I can do but I got so many apps, data etc on my phone I dont want to go that route. Just use chomp for now.
