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.

  • 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?

    iCloud does not delete your mail when full, you have some other problem.

  • 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.

  • 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."

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • ATT or iPhone deleted all Visual Voice messages!? Anyone else??

    Has this happened to anyone yet??
    I had 7 saved voicemail messages and received 2 new ones the other night. I had company over, so I waited until they left to check them. I noticed the Red Circle with the #2 was gone, but didn't think anything of it. When I went to my voicemail screen it prompted me to setup my voicemail!? I couldn't retrieve any messages until I did this (Yes, I already set this up 5 days earlier).
    After redoing my voicemail greeting, non of my messages were there, neither the 7 saved nor the 2 new ones. I am not sure if this is a software glitch (Apple issue) or voicemail service (ATT issue).
    I ran a couple tests to see what happens with voicemail when I want to delete. So, I used my other phone to add 3 new messages to my iPhone. After checking my messages with the new Visual Voicemail, I accessed my messages the old fashioned way (If you go to Keypad and press and hold the '1' key, you can go to the old voicemail system). All 3 messages were there.
    I saved 2 of the messages and deleted 1. After returning to my iPhone Visual Voicemail the deleted voicemail was gone and the other 2 remained.
    In the Visual Voicemail I deleted 1 of the remaining 2. The iPhone puts this deleted message into a deleted folder where it can be recovered. Before I cleared the deleted folder, I went back to the old voicemail and it was still there. So I went back to the iPhone deleted folder and pressed clear all. After this, the message was cleared from the old message system.
    So either ATT wiped out all my messages as well as my Outgoing message or there might be a glitch in the Apple software that deleted everything on the iPhone, which in turn would delete everything from the old voicemail system.
    I know this is long, and thankfully I didn't have anything that was critically important in the deleted messages, but if this happens to anyone else, it is best to report to Apple and ATT so this doesn't become a problem.
    I sent an email to Apple with the suggestion of a box for saving messages to a folder that is separate from the voicemail service and can't be accidently deleted by ATT or the Apple Visual Voicemail.

    PS I had a fully charged iPhone when this happened and I have never gone below %15 remaining charge. Also, I have never had to do a hard reset of the iPhone.
    Quad 2.5, 6600, 4GB ram   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Page 30 of iPhone User Guide:
    "Once you listen to a message, it is saved for 30
    days from the time you listened to it."
    That is a good point.
    However, if you are trying to let us know that this is why we lost our messages, you have forgotten that the iPhone has only been available for 18 days. We are still 12 days short of the auto 30 day deletion.
    Others, including myself, have lost our entire voicemail account and have had to redo our message greeting.
    The point is that there is a flaw and I don't want to lose anymore messages. I don't always have the time to input #'s, addresses, etc., so I save the message for later. If messages are going to be deleted without my doing, then I cannot trust ATT or Apple with this.
    Apple at least has told me to alert them if this happens again. ATT denies anything on their end.

  • TS2755 how do i delete all past text messages

    when i go to the search i phone all messages i have sent or recieved are there i want these off my phone is there a way to delete these and also contacts from a deleted face book page dont want these there either

    this is stored in a cache memory in the phone and you can only get rid of it by restoring the phone as new and all your data/settings will be lost.  the memory is eventually overwritten so I suggest you just ignore it

  • Deleting blocks of texts/messages/calls without doing them individually

    Is there a way to delete multiple text/calls/messages (like highlighting and/or grouping) without having to do each one individually?
    Thanks!!!

    I apologize, but you can not delete all the texts,  messages, and calls on the device at once. 
    For calls:
    To reset call log, while in the Call Log view, touch the Menu key, then touch "Clear Call Log"
    For messages:
    1) Go to Home
    2) Then Go to "Messages"
    3) Next Select "Menu"
    4) Then Choose "Delete"
    5) Now select the group of messages you wish to delete. 
    For emails:
    When you are in your inbox, hit the menu button  and  it will give you the option to "delete." When you click "delete," all your emails will  display, and you can click on the X next to individual messages to delete them. If you press menu again it will bring up an option to "mark all. " Then you can delete all the email messages selected.
