SMS messages all disappear.

So I have a Verizon S3 (unrooted) that is giving me trouble. At times, when I go into the Messaging app, it will show me that I have no sms messages on my phone. In reality, I have tons of them on there. I can even be reading a text, click to go back to the main screen, and then they all just disappear.

Sometimes I can open the Messaging app and it will flicker so I can see all my messages for a split second before it goes to the No Messages screen.

When this happens, I have to reboot the phone and then they all show up again. I can also open some other SMS program and it will also show that I have no messages so it's something within the system and not with any specific app.

Does anyone know what causes this or a way to make it stop? It's really annoying to have to keep rebooting my phone just to see my messages.

Same problem here, as of today. Also an S3 but on Rogers. Did you find any solution?

I just reboot and then they all come back. Happens every now and then and is really annoying. It'd something built into Android because all my SMS apps will show no data at the same time meaning something in the system isn't working properly.

Rebooting works here as well. I agree, it is highly annoying. One thing I changed on my phone is to remove the "auto-delete" setting for older messages. I wonder if the number of SMS messages is the issue.

I'm going to try backing my messages up and then restoring that setting...
