I've never had this happen to me, so I'm not sure what the issue is at this point. Are you using the stock SMS app? If so, you should be able to back it up and restore that data safely. I think most people use an altervative SMS app like handsent with extra features for backing up your messages.

I use GOSMS and back up my texts once a week. When you release a new build I install from scratch every other time usually. Once I totally wipe the phone and boot for the first time I get 1-4 or so texts that I've never seen prior to this. When I restore my texts these stay. So far this has happened every time I've done a fresh install starting with the first back in September.

I too ran into an issue a while back when i tried out 3G turbocharger script, i came to the conclusion that its just not compatible with this rom/phone.
and about the link2sd stuff, this is what i do everytime when i flash a new build.
-i back up EVERYTHING, apps, Sms, contacts(even though its not needed at all, its just a habit), make sure that all my apps are up to date before i backup.
-download latest build to my sd (using my phone)
-reboot into recovery, wipe/format EVERYTHING
-flash rom, and gapps
-boot phone, and do the gapps setup, go to market install link2sd.
-since i have a handful of apps installed on the sd, i wait till those install after booting up.. set up link2sd, reboot
-link the apps that were installed during initial boot and set up auto-link
-install titanium backup, restore all my 247 apps (later uninstall apps that i dont plan on using after all apps are restored)
-if i get a "low memory" message, i goto link2sd, relink everything(sometimes auto-link doesnt catch all apps when restoring, so its always good to relink occasionally)
-go back to titanium backup, make sure all apps were restored, restore those that werent.
-reboot to tighten up rom
-set up my launcher, and weed through my apps, uninstalling the ones that i dont plan on using
-sync my facebook contacts
-OC to 825/480 performance
-reboot to tighten up rom
-set up my notification widgets (previous, play, next, wifi, gps, mobiledata)
-make sure that my orientation settings are set to 0 and 90 and my brightness is set to 50% (i found that this works best for me through out day and night)
-grab the latest supercharger script, and set it up to my liking
-reboot to tighten up rom
-make sure that everything is in working order and then go on about my day

my process is very time consuming but it works for me, and i never run into any problems, other than sleep deprivation.. but thats a given ;)

My routine word for word except I've always had issues with super charger so I stopped using it.
 
Hmmm, perhaps it's an issue with GOSMS? If you have time to test it on a different ROM, and it works fine, then I'll look into seeing if IHO is responsible.

Jerry pointed this out a while back
don't quick reboot from link2sd
in link2sd:
menu/more/recreate mount scripts/ then reboot
everything comes back except widgets which are easily restored

i just now did with it with the new Mrg666 over the older one and have done it 20+ times on all IHO builds [Jerry's, Mrg666's and BobZ's]

THANKS. Very helpful info.
 
Recently in the past couple of builds, I have noticed a rare occasion where I wouldn't be able to send or receive texts/calls even though it says that i'm connected to the network, ableit the 1X network. Does anyone have any info on what is happening?
 
Sounds like a VM network issue. The ROM hasn't had any changes to 3G configurations at all, we copy the qxmud (VM network) file directly from a stock VM build since VM doesn't release their proprietary code.

Most of this is also my routine XD The beta supercharger and KAK both work fine for me. Only 3G TurboCharger gives me problems. Link2SD FTW :cool:

Wait just to clarify.. after we wipe cache and dalvik then flash the new version of the ROM, we just run Link2SD then do your instructions and all the apps will be fine??

SMOOTHNESS TO THE MAX!!!! But wait. I thought you needed a partition on your sd card for app2sd to work. I may be wrong here but i thought app2sd stored most of the data of the app on a partition on your sd card.

I thought I would just follow up since I posted about a problem...I switched over to using Link2SD, did a fresh install and with Link2SD all the problems seem to have been fixed: no more issues with reinstalling and having to move the dalvik cache. Actually, the phone also seems to run much better overall.

Just remember, if you haven't used Link2SD before, if you're going to use it you have to partition your SD card, so make sure to make a backup of the card first since partitioning will erase everything on it.
​

Thanks again to everyone for the help.

Hey, just wondering, is anyone else getting way better battery life on the latest build? the past couple days I've been getting an extra couple real hours out of mine (compared with previous builds), and I'm a constant heavy user

Yeah I have noticed a increase in battery life as well. Besides the whole quirk of me losing battery in 6 hours.
 
I used to have six, now I get around 9 to 12 no problem with still twenty percent left, and if anything my usage went up once I realized my battery wasn't vanishing. Thanks Jerry for this awesome consciousness-occupier!
 
Jerry, have you been able to figure out the GPS issue. I just tried igo to see if it would be any different and it also lost signal and then was all over the place.
 
Noticed just today that the working version of Netflix, 1.22 I think, is no longer supported. Won't run without an update. Damn you Netflix, the updates are broken!
 
Jerry, today I tested the MMS thing a little. My wife sent me 2 pictures and I never received them. I had her resend one of them and again nothing.

At lunch I did a restore of my stock backup from 9202011 and was able to get the picture message from her almost instantly. When I made my stock backup I was running Link2SD (an am no longer) so I have virtually no apps able to be used (including market, root explorer and GO SMS) and am unsure how to get them back onto the phone. I guess I could do a factory reset from recovery and then reroot et al.

After I did a restore, I tried again to get an MMS from my wife and still couldn't.

The main difference between the two is GO SMS and right now I can't get GO SMS onto the stock. I did load the stock messaging app in the BACKside and didn't get anything that way.

I just tried following those steps and I keep getting this error message in link2sd. I'm not sure how to fix it. The 2nd partition on my sd card is fat32. I tried unmounting and remounting the sd card. Didn't help. :confused:

I restored my backup of the 10/17 build for now.
