Txt Messages FREAKED OUT w/ New Rom

Ok, loaded the new rom no problems. loaded everything back on with pim backup. i went to check my txts, and none were there. Then all of the sudden they started showing back up, kinda like a search in windows, where things just kinda pop up one at a time when it finds them. but not only that, it was reloading EVERY text in every message IN ORDER since i have had my phone...including deleted texts. So not only was it doing that at an amazing pace, it started RESENDING EVERY TEXT i ever wrote. I probably sent about 400-500 texts when i realized it was sending texts out. all my friends were like wtf?!

So yes....solution? Anyone? I am about to reload the rom. Everytime i delete a txt thread it does it all over again...and of course reloads the deleted thread. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!

hmm odd - every time i've loaded different ROMs any of my 'old' text mesages are lost in the process and they don't come back at all.

Its your life flashing before your eyes. Be careful.

On a serious note I have never heard of that. Did you do any kind of PIM backup or anything of that nature?

Oh missed that on first post. I bet it happened from the PIM backup. Haven't heard of it happening before. Wow that opinion didn't help a bit did it. Sorry. But it is interesting thing to have happen. I hope your friends have unlimited text plans lol.

haha yea. well, i guess ill just reload the rom and try reloading the backup file again, and if it messes up I just wont load the txts.

I generally recommend not restoring text messages or e-mails. When I use any backup app, I restore only My Documents, Favorites, a couple of other specific files, and my contacts. Restoring other stuff creates havoc.

I do all my restoring through active sync. I have no need to keep old text. I hate to see some of my cool MMS messages go away but thats life. I think active sync does an adequate job. Is there a benefit of the PIM backup that I am missing?
