Hi,
It sounds like this has become a big problem. After this happening to me for the second time earlier, I decided to google the problem again.
Alot of people are saying they had an antivirus software that they deleted and not had a problem since. I have no antivirus software, i never have... so it can't be that.
I also read someone had thought it was to do with HTC sense sync. Well mine is set to manual due to the fact that everytime i sent a message it synced, even though it was set for every 3 hours. This meant my battery was dying very very quickly.
Also, someone suggested deleting HTC Sense sync and restarting the phone and your messages should come back. Tried earlier and never worked.
I've had my DHD since November and its happened twice. My settings are correct i.e. the 'delete old messages' is off.
It's clear this isn't a rare problem, just google it. Theres forum after forum of complaint.
I don't know if this happens on other Android phones, if it does, its clear its Android. If not, its obviously HTC.
I haven't done this 'root' thing (I don't know what it is yet), I haven't messed about with the integral stuff on the phone. I've simply downloaded some apps and some games, added some pictures, taken some pictures etc.. I've only done things a phone is "expected" to do.
I also do not use any other SMS app except the stock one, people had also suggested that they use Handcent or another 3rd party SMS app which had caused the problem.
I had updated my phone to 2.2.1 on the 1st Dec 2010, well I think it was then because that dates on the software details on my phone.
The first time this happened was the 19th Dec and then again today 18th Jan.
I started to assume the issue was with the updates until I started digging back old posts that go back to August. Now i'm thinking it's either 2.0 software or just the 2.2 software. My sister has a Xperia X10 with the new 2.1 update so I'll ask her to keep an eye on it.
It's about time HTC or Android got their head out their *** and sort this out, it's clearly becoming a serious issue that if not fixed will become the reason people stop buying these phones. I think the DHD is an awesome phone but this a right pain in the...neck.
If anyone has any other "solutions" please add them to this I'd like to give them a try, although I'm not resetting my phone, there is no way that'll work. Thats the same as an I.T. Consultant saying "Have you switched it off, waited about 30 seconds and switched it back on?"
Also I mentioned the syncing problem above, if anyone else has this issue please also post here.
Apologies for the long post but I think this may help with others who have the problem.
Thank you!
