IPhone 4 rebooted itself and deleted all my text messages??

My iPhone 4 just turned itself off and rebooted and when it came back on every single text message was deleted. What would cause this?? I feel like it has been running slow and buggy lately. But have the latest software. Not sure what I can do??

Did you fix it?  I tried to copy paste but was unable to.  Did you write "lost text" in the search?  I am going to insert the link I found.  Let me know how it works out.  VERY IMPORTANT...DO NOT SYNC YOUR PHONE!!!  RESTORE FROM BACK UP FIRST...ONCE YOU SYNC, YOU CAN NEVER RETRIEVE

  • My Droid Maxx deleted all my text messages by itself. I had all of them, got a phone call, and when I got off the call, all my texts where gone. Is there a way I can get them all back?

    My Droid Maxx deleted all my text messages by itself. I had all of them, got a phone call, and when I got off the call, all my texts where gone. Is there a way I can get them all back? I had a lot and some where really important to me. I turned the phone off and on again thinking that would bring them back because of some glitch but it didn't help. Does anyone know of a way to bring them all back?

    It's very possible to get your messages back. Verizon Messages (app) from the Play Store has options both to restore and back up your messages. They can be downloaded as a file and saved on the device or SD card. By pulling the menu out from the left side and choosing "Restore Conversations", you can (hopefully) restore your lost messages but it says for 90 days. I hope this doesn't reach you too late.

  • Is there any way to actually delete messages from my iPhone? I have already synced my iPhone, updated it, and deleted all of my backups but the messages I have "deleted" still appear in the spotlight search.

    If you already have an iPhone backup or an iCloud backup, just follow the instructions on the page below

    If you didn't back up your iPhone, try to use WhatsApp Pocket to recover your chats:

  • How do i delete all my text messages to speed up my phone

    How do I delete all  my text messages at one time  on my s4?

    That's a great way to clear up memory and speed things up, 357tony. What message app do you use with your S4? Is it Messaging, Message+, or one downloaded from the Play Store?

  • My iPhone 4S deleted all my text messages  and it said u can retrieve them back if u do backup resort and I did and it completely wiped out all my messages and I just want my text messages and photos back

    Someone please help me get back my text messages from my boyfriend that have a lot meaning and my heart is shattered cuz I lost all those text messages.. Please help me get back my messages from him!!

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • My iPhone randomly deleted all my text messages.

    Has anyone else ever had all their text messages randomly deleted?

    Me Too!! Its really frustrating and annoying..when i get a new message, it even separates into a different contact column..Lets say after i message my gf,when i get a reply i have two sections of my gf msg,one the one i sent and one the one she sent at the messages main menu. When i try to open the one i receive, the sms program shuts down itself back to iphone homepage menu!! When i reopen the sms program, all the messages is lost!! As if it has reboot itself!What more its happening very frequently...Almost every message i sent and receive!!

  • Iphone 4 deleted all my text messages.

    My Iphone randomly deleted all my texts. When I plugged it into Itunes they didn't come back like I thought they would. Any ideas?

    If you backed up the phone BEFORE the messages disappeared, they can be restored by restoring the backup:
    1. Disable automatic syncing on connection in iTunes prefs > Devices > Disable....
    2. Connect phone.
    3. Right-click the device tab on left border of iTunes window and select "Restore from backup."

  • IPhone 4 has just deleted all my texts help

    Hi, I just went to send an mms ( normally no problem) but as soon as I hit send th phone has wiped all my text messages from the last year that I have owned it,is it possible to get them back?

    There is no way possible for your iphone to delete message by itself.
    If your having issue with text - contact your cell phone provider as texting is a carrier feature.

  • My iPhone 4 deleted all my text messages without a warning, is this normal?

    Is it normal for the phone to delete all text messages without warning? I tried to send a text, the screen went black with the apple logo and when the phone started back up, all texts were gone :(

    I'm not looking for a smart *** reply, thank you for wasting my time and yours as well.

  • Why did Firefox reset itself and delete all my bookmarks and favorites and how can i restore all my important information ? thank you .

    Hello , this is what happen ! I turned on my Desktop from being in sleep mode and as it came on Firefox restored everything and made me lose all my settings and all my toolbar favorites and bookmarks , all my work was on here and all the compan y's I have dealt with in automobile restorations .
    I tried a system restore from a date of a week ago but nothing came back , I really need someones help to restore my Favorites .I would also like the other version of firefox I feel lost with the version I have now and I dont like change .
    Thank you .

    Click on "Bookmarks" in your "Menu Bar".
    Next click on "Show All Bookmarks"
    The Library Dialog will open to you bookmarks. At the top of the dialog will be the option to "Import and Backup". Click "Import and Backup" scroll down to "Restore", when your hovers over "Restore" a list of backed up bookmarks should appear. If not, quite possibly Firefox has not been saving backups.
    You can also manually save bookmark backups from the "Show All Bookmarks" portion of the Library by clicking "Import and Backup", and then "Backup..."
    Also if you open another tab, you can type "about:config" in the address bar and press <ENTER>. This opens options not normally accessible. The first time it gives you a warning, you can disable the warning or leave it in place for the next the you open "about:config".
    In the Search Bar type "bookmarks" and press <ENTER> . A list of attributes should narrow down to a few attributes about bookmarks. Look for "browser.bookmarks.max_backups" see what value is set... it should be set to "10". It sets the maximum number of automatic updates. To change it to a different value double click that attribute and increase/decrease just don't go overboard. Also you can delete older backups, just be careful. My bookmarks are listed with the newest ones first.

  • My iPhone 3gs just deleted all my text messages. When I restore do I click back up or don't back up to get them back?

    When I restore do i click back up or dont back up to get the text messages and everything back?

    Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? It might help. It's not going to make anything worse.
    When was the last itme you backed up your phone? If it was recently, restoring the phone to the back up may get them back.
    If you have a Mac, you can try an app like Phoneview from www.ecamm.com (there are similar apps for Windows but I don't remember the names). Phone view has a trial so you could at least check if it helps.
    Best of luck.

  • My iphone just randomly deleted all my text messages and i had important contact information in those texts that werent yet saved to my phone. Any way i can get those texts back?
