Sms history deletion after update #779

Closed RZHSSNZDH closed 9 months ago

RZHSSNZDH commented 9 months ago

After I updated the app to 5.19.2 from f-droid, I lost my sms history. Before it I was moved the cache to SD card and after update when I saw the problem changed the cache storage to SD, but the problem is still there.

By "SMS history," you mean texts you received and didn't delete? If so, would you switch back to the original SMS app and see if you can confirm that the texts are still present?

When switching from Github to F-Droid to get the APK, I find I must uninstall the old before installing the new. This resets all my preferences. You say you told 5.19.2 to use the SD card. I wonder if there is a bug such that this sequence starts with an empty message base. For example, fresh 5.19.2 might see no texts in internal memory. When you specify SD as your preference, does Messenger copy the (empty!) database to SD, despite the actual messages already there?

Yes

I have removed phone's main sms app.

As I know, all of the app's data copy to SD.
