I have a samsung vibrant, which is currently running bionix v and I have been getting the same error message "database storage is getting low" for a couple months now. I have had a couple different lag fixes and around ten different rooms on the phone. This message when I receive this message, I cannot receive texts anymore and the phone also becomes laggy to a point where it is unusable. I have Odin backed to stock at least seven times and master reset around 10 to try to fix this in the past two months but the message still pops up. It used to only pop up when I opened the web and I would be able to get rid of it by clearing the web data in manage apps but recently, it won't go away. I have 8 gb empty on my phone, around 30 apps installed, 60 contacts, and never over 100 text messages. I manage app, the app taking up the most data is flash and thats at 7 mb, all other apps and functions are under 1 mb. Is there any way to fix this? Or is it screwed?
Try to google your question. These are the first three that I found. Looks like most are clearing the "data" and not the "cache" to correct the issue. It looks like something about FB linking with your contacts might be an issue as well. Although I can't believe that would be an issue if you are saving your contacts to your gmail. Good luck!

Yeah, It usually goes away after I clear the data of web, but then again the data of web will only be at 400 kb when I get the message. I don't connect my contacts to Facebook. And the only app I have that takes up over a mb is flash. Everything is under a mb.
Do you save contacts to gmail or phone?
Also, i think when I skimmed through some of those posts a lot of people got good results from a factory reset. Have you tried that as well?

This is a very strange issue I've run into, and I wanted to see if anyone has run into it as well, and if there is a workaround, solution, or a fix. Whenever I restore nandroid backups, flash a new build and restore SMS messages, it randomly resends a few text messages, usually the last two or three. it doesnt actually show that its been resent, just the recipient tells me he\she got it twice. Its resulted in some VERY humorous conversations, but it def is getting old.
Anyone? Thanks!

Have you tried to use Odin to get back to stock, then reroot?? I had a problem like that but going back to stock fixed it
Has anybody else problems with extreme slowdown when downloading more than 20 E-mails or so? The download itself goes slower and slower, and then it starts affecting the rest of the phone. I sometimes have to turn off the phone because it becomes totally unusable. I use the latest Energy ROM with Max Sense but I have had this for a long time.
No problem with my mail accounts, have downloaded close to 40 mails from one account without hanging/slowing. I too use Energy, tried latest 29007 & 29017 builds but for me 23699 Dinik is my choice due to better sense stability & software scrolling compatability.
What email account is it and is it IMAP or POP3 ?
I have never tried the Dinik ROM, maybe I should try it? I have never had any problems with instability, though. But I stay iwth the 21-series ROMs, the one with the bottom start menu clashes with so many of the standard programs that I use.
The account is a regular mail account with my E-mail services provider online.no, and I use POP3 to download. I tried just now to hard reset the phone and download the 126 messages that are on the account from today and yesterday without using anything HTC on the home screen, and this time they came like clockwork. So it's obvious it's something with the updating of the HTC stuff.
You hard reset & avoided HTC homescreen both in 1 test ?
So which one actually resolved it !
What programs do you have issues with on bottom start menu builds ? I use the 23699 as it is 100% compatable with all software I use. 29xxx is a pain & with no real benefits to me.
My account is POP3,also have IMAP account. All work fine via Sense menu Mail tab send/receive button. Hope you can eliminate this problem.
I know it isn't the hard reset, because I actually did that earlier and had the slowdown. Should have mentioned that, sorry. The hard reset is because I changed ROM today, so I can experiment a bit without having to do Sprite Backups and restores all the time. And I have to do a reset (I think...) to make the messaging system forget that those mails have been downloaded before.
I actually can't remember what programs I had problems with, but I have tried the 29xxx builds several times and always flashed into a 21xxx after a few hours. Last time I tried was last fall, and I haven't changed any of my core programs in 2-3 years (there are no updates to them), so I'm quite sure I can't use that now either.
But I see one difference here: You use the Sense mail tab. I don't. I only use the messaging tab and open the original Windows Mobile messaging. I really don't like the message system in HTC, and I even turn off threaded messaging. You can say that I'm a bit old (pushing 50) and set in my ways when it comes to what I like. Still I found out that the Max Sense build really fits me, so I have stuck with that. I'll try downloading mail with the mail tab and see if that changes anything. I'll be back with the result soon!
Nope, that did not help. I get the same slowdown after a new hard reset, and putting in the mail tab when it goes beyond 20 E-mails or so. I really wish I could find a solution for this, it's bugging the s...t out of me.
I get this too but only on a gprs connection. Hsdpa or wifi is fine. Also using an energy Rom.
Sent from my fingers to your face...
Yeh I too do not use threaded sms but I do like sense tabs for quick sms & email viewing although 99% of any mail task is handled directly within WM mail client.
Many of my apps never got updated for WM6 but they are all luckily working ok for me.
I use GPRS Edge mainly for mail checks & downloads. Have regular inbox amounts around 20 to mid 30s & never had an issue !
Are you downloading the whole mail or have you capped a limit in the settings ? might help you pending on your needs !
I have a 2 kb limit, so not the whole mail. What are you using?
I have 2KB for Hotmail account & 20KB on my work accounts.
Do you have same issues via WIFI/ActiveSync/GPRS connection methods !
If software conflicts are ruled out & it happens on all connection types it is either related to your mail provider server or more likely a slight problem with your chosen ROM flavour.
Always WiFi, never any other type of mail check. I have a mobile router in my car, and I'm in my home office 99 % of the work week, so I don't need anything else. I'm guessing that it's something with the Max Sense ROM. I tried downloading only the headers just now, and that only moved the slowdown fase to around 30 E-mails. So there is something weird here. I may have to try out one of the Cookie Home Tab ROMs even though I love the Max Sense way of doing things. I'll probably get back to the Max Sense, though. If I'm careful to download mail and delete it from the server with my computer I won't get over 10-15 mails.
Mmm, is their any way you could forward priority mail to another account specifically used on your device thus limiting mail you recieve ! I realize this may not suit your use but thought worth mentioning since of your love with current ROM.
I count myself lucky my favourite ROM flavour & older 23699 build works 99.9% perfect in my daily use ... good luck ...
No, there isn't. I'll just have to live with it, thanks.
Im about to wipe all and start over with a new ROM.
Currently on Quick sense 1.5.1
Since day One this phone has had a weird habit of stalling on SMS.
If Im typing out a message the KB will lag as the incoming message comes in.
This has gotten worse with new ROM and accumulation of texts.
My outgoing message seems to just sit there for several seconds before it sends , and at least 4-5 times a day ((out of 100-150 texts a day)) Ill get a "message cant be delivered" and I have to resend.
At this point I have about 6000 text messages in my inbox. Coming from N1 I never had this issue at all. Does Sense perhaps have some weird messaging cache ? Are Handcent/GoSMS not optimized for sense ?
Im hesitant to wipe as its really the only issue with this ROM and hate to risk instability.
Suggestions..thoughts ?
I never worry about it..just back them all up (SMS Backup) to my Gmail and forgot about them. If I ever need to reference them I just do a quick search on my email. Any reason you aren't doing that?
I back them up via Mybackup Pro.
But theres no quick way to search them If I need to look something up.(zip files)
I would do the Gmail thing but feel its a privacy issue as I try to keep my gmail away from more personal info. ((I havent seen anywhere that Android logs my sms and phones home so still clinging to that hope))
Hey,
I'm having an issue and I'm not sure how to debug or where to seek for solution. Sender told me, that she sent me two messages, received reports, but I had received none. This is really hard to pick out, because if sender gots the report then he usually dont send the message again or tell me about it, unless it was an important message. I just installed Ghostly SMS app, but I'm not sure if it is the case, as my SGS should not be missing of ram, and I wasn't doing anything that would be using ram excessively (probably phone was just at the pocket at this time).
Any ideas how to find the source of such behaviour? My sim card is new, and I'm running omega v43.1 with stock kernel.
Thanks
Usually that is caused by your or the sender's network provider and not one of your device's.
I always notice it wheo sending from Germany to Luxembourg. I get SMS' like 8 hours later (if ever) but sender almost immediately gets the notification.

Problem is that I'm not using a lot of sms so it is difficult to catch some regularities in such behaviour. But maybe there is something for which I could look in logcat?
If it's caused by your provider as I suspect then your device does not get the sms. Unless you have access to your provider's logs you can't read them.
I've had people call me on sim cards that were not in a device and have it ring through or Sms that were "received" by devices which were not powerd on for months. So yeah =)

Ok, ghostly SMS just managed to restore 2 messages which didn't show in default messaging app. That makes me sure, that the phone actually receives these messages, so it's not the fault of the provider or sim card.
These 2 messages were received in a different time. After I noticed first one missing, I texted the sender to ask if she wrote me anything else, but she didn't and her answer was also received as a ghost sms. No huge resource consumming apps were running at this point - phone was on the desk with nothing running and screen turned off.
You could try a non-stock Sms app with a priority receiver, such as Go sms.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks, will give it a shot. But do you think that I should keep the default sms app? There's an option in go sms pro that it can handle messages if the stock app is uninstalled - I could do this using titanium backup or something and restore it in case of problems.
Ok, I did two things:
1. Tried installing Go sms pro along with stock message app - problem still occurs.
2. Tried uninstalling stock sms app and making go sms pro the only app which has to handle sms sending-receiving. But honestly I'm not sure about the results... First because ghostly sms is not working in such scenario, so I had no feedback from this app. Second is that nobody told me that I missed some messages and didn't answer.
So I'm stuck again and have no idea what to do. It happens on different network trans-receivers (I mean its not location dependent), also it is not sender-dependend (I miss even spam messages) and it's not sim-related because I had my sim changed. I believe that there must be something with the stock sms app, otherwise there wouldn't be apps like ghostly sms.
I have had similar issues chronically. Likewise found ghostly sms has received some that stock didn't receive.
In past I have found Go did no better. However, I have not rooted and did not remove stock app.
Among "power but non-root users", I don't think of myself as having lots of apps, but compared to more "normal" users, it is a lot. So I suspect that like me, you may encounter more memory issues than you are aware. I regularly run: facebook, fb messenger, accuweather, hacker keyboard, nitro touchdown, stock email (couple accounts), mypod, xabber, business calendar, stock browser.
Another observation though is the bloat that occurs in the messages database. I receive probably 20-50 messages each day that I can quickly delete (from automated monitor system). If I go to settings -> applications -> all, then I can see data and cache size for Messages is perhaps several MB. Clearing these, I then open Messages and it apparently rebuilds the database, as data size now quite reasonable. No messages lost. If I also reboot, it may send messages that it apparently thinks were not successful (sometimes it is correct, sometimes recipient reports it is a duplicate). However, after this, message delivery seems more reliable for a while.
Now, it doesn't take long for the unreliability to return, at least not 100%, so I will continue running ghostly. But with the occasional rebuild, I no longer have the situation where it seems I am losing most of my incoming, which I have seen.
So, it would seem that the messaging database can get corrupt or performance becomes so poor that it is effectively corrupt.
YMMV, obviously, but hopefully these observations help someone find the real problem. This is a very annoying and serious issue.

Hey,
I've almost forgot about this thread. I managed to deal with the problem by removing V6 supercharger script from the Omega rom which I use and it seems that for a few weeks now I havent lost any message.
However in your case this must be something different. In information about messaging app I have that the app takes 4.17MB, Data takes 16kB and cache is 0B. Version of my messaging app is reported as 4.1.2.-I9300XXELLC

I'm using Omega rom too and I have the same problem. I got all SMS with Ghostly SMS. I notice the problem appear after doing a Nandroid restore or Omega upgrade without full wipe. I will now remove supercharge to see what happen.

I tried the same thing (Clear data) for the SMS app didn't help.
Ghostly SMS work.
Like I just mention I will try to disable supercharge to see what happen.
On my Galaxy S5, running Android 6.0.1., when I try to send a text message to a number that does not have a saved conversation, the app I'm using always crashes, gives me an error, or does nothing instead of sending the message. The built in Messages app and Facebook's Messenger app both crash, while Google Messages gives me an error saying it couldn't create the conversation, and Go SMS Pro seems to work at first, but actually does nothing.
I've also deleted caches/data and removed old texts/conversations, and nothing seems to work.
This is clearly not a problem with one app, but rather something larger at play. What could possibly be causing this?
Sounds like something corrupted your SMS data base and it will take a wipe to fix it. Go SMS pro is the normal cause for corruption. It's a male are ridden app that users here stopped using years ago.
Darn, is there any other way to fix something like that? I use my phone for work, so I don't really want to wipe it and spend a bunch of time updating/reinstalling.
Go SMS Pro was just a last attempt to try any other SMS app, rather than one I've had, so it's probably not the culprit.
If you had root you could try to wipe the data base file.
Give textra a try. They use their own separate SMS data base. So that might help.
Other then that you might spend an evening backing up and flashing a stock clean build.
