Help help with my text message inbox....

[nelms]

has anyone else had their text inbox wiped out? its happened to me 3 times in the past 2 weeks. whats causing this?

 

[nelms]

so i guess im alone in this? haha

I don't have my Incredible yet, but my guess would be that "Auto Erase" is on under your messaging settings. When your inbox fills up it will erase the texts. Just a suggestion.

 

[nelms]

ive been all over the settings menu... cant find anything like that.. (that was my first thought when it happened also) seemed like a fluke thing.. no real reason... oh well.

i appreciate your input. thank you

I've heard a person say that after the messaging app force closed, all of their messages were erased. Are you using any Task Killers/Managers that may have closed Messaging?

 

[woop]

Hasn't happened to me. My messages are safe and sound. And no, there is no auto-erase as I actually WANT this and unfortunately to no avail.

i have ATK. but i dont kill my messages/inbox. and them vanishing didnt seem to conicide with anything in particular. its hard to be aware of what exactly is going on when they vanish because i dont notice till after i open the inbox.

This is a Great Phone but this has happened too me twice also. I looked for an auto delete or something but can not fine it. Anyone know of any settings that could stop this? Not using a task killer..

 

[sunthas]

Are you guy using a custom messaging app or the built in HTC/Android apps?

 

[Willtrvl]

I am using the built in Htc/adroid apps.

 

[nelms]

I am using the built in Htc/adroid apps.

same here. bone stock in that dept

 

[Willtrvl]

I've had my phone since release day and it's happened twice. In fact the second time was today.

 

[Cincy73]

It happened to me, read on here somewhere that if you have any type of AntiVirus program on your phone this could cause this, I uninstalled mine and It has not happened again!

 

[Willtrvl]

I do have antivirus from the market but don't think I had it the first time it happened not sure. I may delete it.

i have antivirus also... are we on to something???

 

[Willtrvl]

uninstalled antivirus, hope this works.
Thanks

 

[nelms]

uninstalled antivirus, hope this works.
Thanks

did you notice a setting in anti virus that would kill certain "harmful" messages automatically? weird huh...

 

[Willtrvl]

No I did not, It is weird though. I decided to uninstall the app.

 

[nelms]

im gonna leave my antivirus on.. then if yours still does it we can rule it out.. i'll let ya know when mine does it haha..

 

[Willtrvl]

Sounds good, hope mine stays clean. Go to the market and read some of the reviews on the antivirus app. Most of them are good but a few state force closings and deleted items. One even stated not to install on droid inc...

 

[nelms]

sounds like i'll be losing one more inbox full before im certain.. in the meantime i downloaded a sms uploader, to automatically send my stuff to my gmail...

I have confirmed through 2 different sources Handcent and HTC that the Droid Incredible DOES NOT NEED AN ANTIVIRUS APP! I have posted about this numerous times. I was having the same exact problem as you guys, I uninstalled the Antivirus app and never had a problem since. My DInc actually runs faster now AND I HAVE PROVED that the battery last longer now that i dont have it.

 

[woop]

Not only do you probably not ever need an anti-virus, please get rid of the task killer.

The only reason I have an antivirus is because it (Lookout) backs up my data so I can restore my contacts and what not from a server rather than keeping them on my SD card, which is always in the back of the phone. Is there an app that will do that without the extras?
