Message windows are empty after PR1.3 - maemo.org

caco3 | # 1 | 2010-10-26, 09:15 | Report

According to the forum I seem to be the only one with this PR1.3 bug

After installing PR1.3 yesterday, I today figured out that my chat windows always stay empty. When I receive messages (chat, SMS,...) I get a notification, but when I then open the message window, it is empty. The same is when I write something.

With the application glogarchive I could prove that the messages still are in the database, also the new ones I just wrote.
So it is for sure "only" bug in the message window. and not deeper in the system or database.

Changing the theme to a default one and a reboot did not help

Has anybody a solution for this?
Is there an alternative message application for now?

Everything broken after 1.3 upgrade

I updated OTA easily (french firmware), but, after rebooting, I have a very strange user interface :
-no more icons, neither widgets
-black theme everywher, with white letters
-not better after installling a new theme : black parts become grey
-pink strip on top of the screen
-crash of some apps (calendar, params)

I must click on the places where I suppose icons are to make actions.

Not very convenient.

an idea on how to fix ?

Phpman i would try a reflash (and do the emmc) unfortunatley caco, probably the same to you.

But good research into finding it out - very odd problem :|

caco3,

I have this problem too, i can see the summary of the message in the conversations window but when i open one to view it, its empty. This applies to all types of messages: SMS, IM etc.

It appeared after i did an OTA update to PR1.3. I then needed to reflash anyway to fix a different issue but this one was not fixed.

I think its similar to this problem reported a while ago with no resolution: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=55198&page=2

Edit:

I have found the solution in Bug 11456 by renaming the rtcom directory in the user folder.

Code:

mv ~/.mozilla/rtcom ~/.mozilla/rtcom.old

Today I tried it again, did exactly the same upgrade as yesterday.
This time it seems to be ok, the the message window bug is not here.
Maybe it is something which happened on the upgrade.

i am having the same issue. when i power the device off then on, it is overloaded with the messages that would not display as new messages.

also my video library is no longer in order. :/

i hope there is a fix soon..

I had this problem too and asked for help in another thread with same problems. Unfortunatly there was no help so I just lived with the problem waiting for my new phone and then suddenly the problem sorted itself out
