smspopup is deleting my texts about android-smspopup

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I haven't tested the app with any custom roms ... I'm guessing its something 
other 
component causing problems (either some aspect of the custom rom or another 
app) - 
not ruling out SMS Popup being the problem, but the "delete" SMS code is only 
called 
when the user clicks the delete button - the only other code that writes to the 
SMS 
database only changes the "read" flag on messages (not sure if that could 
somehow 
cause complications..).

Update this bug if/when you find out if it happens with 0.9.97 as well ... 
would be 
useful to know if you have any other apps that use the system SMS database as 
well.

Thanks!

Well I'm on day 3 of .97 and everything is fine, no deleted texts, just the 
usual bugs of .97 that I've 
grown accustomed to. It could be the mms apk that is included with Cyanogen's 
ROM's. If you wanna 
check it out for yourself hit up xda developers. Let me know if you need any 
other help from me 
narrowing down this issue.

I am running cyanogen with last version of smspopup and I can't reproduce it :(

I just downloaded 1.0.1, lemme see if that fixes it. Are you using a G1 or a 
MT3G 
Macarse?

Running .97 I have no deleted texts, I switched to 1.0.1 and today I hit reply 
and sure enough the text 
that I was hitting reply to was gone, it had been deleted. 

Do you want a logcat or something to figure out why this is happening?

If you use cyanogen you have an app called LogCollector.
Please, try to do this:

 * Use your phone until you get this bug again.
 * When it happens open LogCollector, get the device log and upload here.

Thanks!

Here's my log, finally got one! 

So all I did was hit reply, the text that was in the preview window was deleted 
once 
the messaging app pulled up. Let me know if you need anything else from me.

Are you by any chance using a custom XDA messaging app on Cyanogens rom?  
Someone 
else reported this and was using what he said was an enhanced version of the 
messaging app from XDA on Cyanogens rom?

Side note: your phone appears to be running very low on memory, the logs show 
many 
processes constantly being killed off due to lack of memory and then being 
restarted 
later (which is how the system behaves in low memory situations).  It could be 
because of this that messages are being deleted ... it probably isn't due to 
SMS 
Popup, more likely due to another part of the system.

Oh just clarified, it isn't a custom messaging app, its just the regular one 
with 
"tweaks" put in place which I guess comes standard with Cyanogens rom ... I'm 
guessing 
the deletions are due to some sort of low memory race conditions happening when 
a 
message is received ... I doubt it's directly SMS Popup's fault (as NO delete 
code runs 
unless the user clicks the delete button) - but it could be due to SMS Popup 
using up 
some memory when a message is received and the system messaging receiver 
running out of 
memory to save the message.

I was having trouble with this on CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1 on my G1 in the US. I 
upgraded
to 4.2.5 today and texted myself from my Google Voice account. Close, Inbox and 
Reply
(not Quick Reply, I switched its function) all seemed to work fine, the 
messages all
appeared in my Messaging inbox. Perhaps this has been resolved.

Interesting ... one change in CyanogenMod 4.2.4 was:
"Lock Home in Memory" is OFF by default!! Enable in Spare Parts

Locking home screen in memory is great because it means the home screen always 
loads 
quickly - however the downside is it uses up a ton of memory, which means 
background 
processes are continually getting killed off (was running with this myself for 
a 
while and saw this in the logs).  Perhaps this was causing the problems?

If anyone is still experiencing this issue please go to Spare Parts and turn 
off 
"Lock Home in Memory" for now to see if that helps.

It's very hard for us to support CyanogenMod changes that happen behind the 
scenes 
without proper emulator/development support.  Your best bet to getting these 
issues 
sorted is to post in the forums and make the folks that build the Cyanogen roms 
aware 
of the issue and perhaps find out what tweaks/changes they made to the 
messaging app.

SMS Popup should work far more reliably on the stock Android roms (and it was 
built 
and tested to work on these roms).

Figured out how to fix "deleting texts" in CM7. In RC2 (and I would assume in 
Final, but I haven't upgraded yet), go to CyanogenMod Settings. In "Performance 
settings," check "Lock Messaging App in Memory." I haven't had any of my texts 
deleted since. Sometimes the SMS Popup notifications don't appear, but I'll 
assume it's CM7's fault, perhaps a memory overflow precaution.
